Coiner Local ISeics my garden fly Leonora D. John*on T knoW the lovliest garden, "where the fairest tiowers grow; . Ro , €S ‘ that blush in the sunshine An d lilies as 'white as snow. Bed poppies, that steal the senses, Pansies, thoughtful and wise, o-ieht sunflowers, gazing upward, And blue bells with starry eyes. T’.ere are hollyhocks, tall and stately, Sweet williams and daisies fair, There are daffodils, nodding gaily i ke ladies with golden hair! Oh. I love the arrogant roses, For they hold my heart in thrall, g„t the little modest violet Is the sweetest of them all. When the days are dark and lonely It smiles thro’ the mist and rain if it would fain remind us That the sun will shine again. It brings a promise of Springtime, To sad hearts in need of cheer; Aud it tells in its own sweet language That the Father’s love is near. I am thanking God for the flowers, That breathe of His tender care; I am glad He thought of the roses And made the lilies fair. And perhaps in Heaven’s garden When my day's work is complete I will gather a bunch of violets, And I’ll lay them at His feet. * -.*. . Mr. and Mrs. J. W.

WHITE Shannon Lodge No. 404, F. & A. M. Comer, Ga., July 19, 1924. In the afternoon of March 6th the spirit of Brother J. E. White took it,: flight from this earthly habita tion; the large heart of cur beloved brother that once throbbed, beats no more in response to friendship’s call. And all that we l ave of him now is memory. And when we re member Brother White in his true nature, we remember him as a good Mason and a good citizen. He was conscientious in all obligations of life. Of course, there are errors in all lives, but we must remember that there are true and noble virtues also, and these virtues are more pleasant to remember of our fellowmen, and all we should remember of anyone. Our heart of sympathy goes out to his estimable widow and children, as much as. friends can mingle their sorrow and grief with the sorrow and sadness of those near and dear to the departed one; we grieve with his loved ones. To his loving and devoted wife and children, we would offer a word of hope, in the thought that some day, beyond the grave in the land of the blessed you will meet him a gain, purified by the divine plan of the great Architect of the universe; Where the faded flowers shall fro-li en, Freshen never more to fane; Who ft the shady sky shall brighten— Bri-htea neve? -now- to shade; Where - ' s :i n ■ never carch'-s, \V 1 >?'-■ the star beams cease to chffl, THh DANIEL^VIi i k MOSIIOK, O ANIfcLSVILLE. GA Where no tempest stills the echoes Of the wood or wave or hill. Where the morn shall wake in glad ness And the noon the joy prolong; Where the daylight dies in fragrance Mid the burst of holy song. Signed by the committee, W. H. Strickland, J. E. Cook, H. W. David. Tribute To MRS. OLIVIA M. B. DAVID Who died August 26. 1924 Poor little quiet Mother Olivia, (for such 1 called her, through as sociation with her daughter-in-law) has crossed over. She has “wrapp ed the drapery of her couch around her, and lay down to pleasant dreams.” Peacefully she passed out, and peaceful she looked in death. One more is added to the white robed angel sleepers. A merciful and loving God had sustained her through the morning and noontide of life, and she was well within the shadows of evening when the sum mons came. Her approach to the valley of the shadow has been grad uil but sure. Now for a long time the world has passed her bv, so there were only a few whose lives were touched by her They are the ones who miss lier, and oh, how they miss her! As the moth er misses the babe who was her con stant charge! As the daughter who ( misses the frail m ther who was de pendent on her for every comfort From Mother Olivia, now for many months one might have learned ales on of patience and submission; such a lesson as circumstances teach u? all sooner or later, for few of us ever go without finally coming to the pass that we are submissive and re igr.ee! to the inevitable. .So was she when the great Commander sounded the call, ready for the sum mons with the .-dive leaf in her hand, victory upon her brow, and peace in her heart. Mr . Olivia M. B. David would have 1 cen £2 years old in Now nber. She was born and reared in this county, being the daughter of Pleas ant and Susan Power Moon. In 1860 she was marri. 1 to-John Mur ray David, who died some twenty el ITit years ago. Six ehildr.n were, born to them, hut now only three survive their mother. They are: . Its. .1. L. Tviercior, W. 11. David, and Mrs. Mary Goss. Those, who knew her in the old days, say she was good and kind, and thoughtful for the poor, and gave many times where help was needed, that she loved her church, and was a faithful attendant, and hospitably ogered her home to the preacher and other visitors whenever occasion demanded. She has been in the shadowy twilight, a stranger to the present as it were, living her own little quiet life, and it is only thus that 1 knew her. She was a member of Paoli Pres byterian church, and made her home at Paoli until twelve years ago she broke up and earn* to live with her son, William H. David. “So may it be, perchance, when down the tide * Our dear ones vanish. Peacefully they glide On level seas, r.or mark' the un known bound. We call it death—to them ‘tis life beyond. —Mrs. Emma Strickland ED PURDY’S PHILOS The candidate that can come through with a plan which solves the problem of how to keep the au tomobile running another year can feel reasonably certain of election.

DESTROY STALKS AND BEAT WEEVIL This year we have ken. the boll weevil in check and it is now con ceded that, with the into ! gent use of calcium arsenate we dsn crow cotton successfully under weevil conditions. It is always found r oc ess ary to begin to wage w-r < i t’v pest before infestation set in. “At. ounce of prevention is worib : pound of cure.” To raise a cotton even i; 1925 we should begin our fight or. the weevil before a furrow is run o: a seed is put into the grots h Th< first step necesgary is the ea.l; ,;e struction of cotton ‘talks as an ur. <{' insuring a profitable cottor r > as well as helping to combal th weevil. Bear in mind that ev . ole weevil you kill means a half mi l Lou less next summer. The State Ento jmologist points out the fact that, if the stalks are destroyed early in the fall it will stop the increase . weevils in the squares. Also destroy ing stalks will cut off the food ;; ply of the weevil and will eitlv. :• froce them to seek food elsewhere or go into winter quarters in a famis.e. condition. This step would save the farmers of Georgia millions of del- lars. The stalks should be destroys I as early as possible after the cotter has been picked and the earlier tLe better. Here is what the State ento mologist says: “The few weevils that might re main after the stalks have been de stroyed will go to their winter sleep in a starved condition, and few sur vivors will be able to deposit a much smaller number of eggs than those that were well fed late in the fall. “There is still another reason for destroying stalks early, that is more important than all others, and that is to get rid of the w< evils in the young, unopened bolls. We have made a close study of this subject for years, and after a severe winter have been able to find a ku gt numl er of wee vils in the hard bolls on standing stalks and t v- n on the surface where led! - tall: wove not plowed up until such bolls had become thoroughly seasoned and hardened. ■‘l hc-e. v .is and and not re-;,- h m turity until fall and were either un able to get out of the hard boll un til spring, at which time they might with ease emerge fr< vi the partly decayed boll. Not having consumed any energy before hibernation they are possessed cf as much vitality as the. young weevil hatched in the mid-growing season aril do much more damage than the weevil that spent the winter in the open. “A few years ago we left one acre of stalks standing in the center of a forty acre field. All other stalks were destroyed early. This acre had been clean cultivated and did not, have enough litter to afford winter protection for the weevil. The en r tire field was planted to cotton the following year, and as soon as the plant; were well up, weevils could be found in abundance on this acre and the rows adjacent to it, but could not be found elsewhere in the field. The yield on this acre was much less than the acres adjoining. “Many methods are employed in destroying stalks. Turning them un der is the best method and can be done quite easily after cutting them with a disc harrow, except in cases where a very rank stalk is prduced. Turning stalks under while the young bolls are gr % n causes the bolls to sour ffnd decay and the weevils die.” The Athens Banner. IS THE BOLL WEEVIL PASSING? The light infestation of boll wee vils this summer has started rumors among the farmers that the boll weevl is “pas ing”, that j< ; that we have experienced the worst from the boll weevil and that in the future they * will not he as numerous as in the past. Unfortunately, there appears to be no ba: is for this opti i mism. Like other false hopes it may i cause disaster by encouraging far ' mere to plant more cotton and to 1 rotdect proper .r:etk or!:; of boll wee ! vil control. : At the Geer; fa Experiment £ta- tier. last, fall four thousand weevils were placed in cages in which was placed enough stravf to give what was considered average winter pro tection. With a norma! winter there would have emerged this spring from one hundred to two hundred weevils. However, only one weevil came out of winte’- quarters. The cause of this low emergence was undoubtedly the unusual cold weather wh ; eh oc curred on January 12th a,u! after. It is also certain that the small num ber of weevils appearing in fields this spring was due to the same cause' and not from any “passing” of the boll weevil. Several theories have been ad vanced to account for this “passing” : : e L-oli weevil. None of them arc -.used cn fact or will “hold water” when carefully examined. One of the most common theories advanced is t'uit an unknown parasite is the a use of the de -reuse. But the ex •e. 1.- c: ; '.iioi b.- .i proves the de •rnjt; e took oT.ico l ist winter, and ara ' tfs are not active during cold At-athe: Another theory advanced * that , v weather dees not agree 4-ith the hoi! weevil.
