On the afternoon of May 26th,
1911, God, in His infinite wisdom,
saw fit to remove from this earth
Mr. Jas. H. Odom, a good, citizen,
a loyal Mason, and a consistent
Christian. While his death came
suddenly hiß daily walk in life had
been such that he was prepared to
meet his maker without a mo
ment’s warning for preparation.
At the time of hiß death Mr.
Odom was in the 69th year of his
life, and he was born and spent
practically his entire lifetime in
this immediate neighborhood. He
was married on April the 24th,
1873, to Miss Jane McNatt, who,
together with two sons, P. H. and
Alex Odom of Florida, and three
daughters, Messdames T. J. Cour
sey, J. L. Gibson, W. G. Dicker
son, all of this county survive him.
One son, Dan Odom,preceded him
to the grave several years ago.
Mr. Odom united with the
Methodist church about 40 years
ago, and has since been a faithful
and consistent member, taking a
leading pnr f in the church work
in his community. He had also
been a member of the Masonic
fraternity for many years, and
was a charter member of Vidalia
Lodge No. 330.
Whereas, in the death of Mr.
Odom our order has lost one of it’s
most faithful members and the
county one of it's best citizens,
and wherens,he was ever ready to
assist in every undertaking for the
betterment of his community and
humanity in general, therefore be
it resolved:
Ist. That in the death of Bro.
Odom Vidalia Lodge No. 380, F.
& A. M., sustains a loss that will
be hard to replace, a man of hon
or, character, ability and loyalty,
who will be greatly missed by his
county, state and neighbors.
2nd. That his family has lost
a true and loving husband and
father, a friend, indeed, whose
wisdom and council will be surely
missed.
3rd. That the Masonic fratern
ity has lost one of its oldest Masons
in this section.
4th. That the sympathy of this
Lodge be extended to the grief
stricken family of our deceased
brother.
sth. That a copy of these reso
lutions and preamble be furnished
the family of the deceased brother,
a copy be recorded upon the min
utes of this Lodge and a copy be
furnished the county papers for
publication.
Respectfully submitted,

Washington News Notes.
Tlih reciprocity bill, the passage
of which was the sole purpose of
President Taft in calling Congress
together in extra session, has been
disposed of and will become a law
as soon us the Canadian Parliment
approves the sume. Only a small
portion of the reciprocity agree
ment is in operation as yet and
that portion which is now opera
tive relates to wood pulp which
Canada produces. This, however,
will be a great benefit to the news
paper trust, which has had the
price right up to the top notch
Canada has now entered upon a
campaign for the election of a new
parliment which is to pass upon
the reciprocity measure. It is
thought that Sir Wilifred Laurier,
the Prime Minister of Canada,
will hold more than a majority in
the new Parliment waich will be
chosen in September, and that
the reciprocity treaty will be
promptly approved.
President Taft has publicly
thanked the Democrats in the
House and Senate for their hearty
support of the reciprocity bill,
without whom the bill would nev
er have passed through Congress.
It is a veryunusual honor for
Democra to receive thanks from
a Republicans to executive and
it simply shows that in measures
intended for the relief of the Am
erican people that we must look to
the Democrats in Congress for aid
and not to the republicans.
President Taft has endeavored
to clear himself of the accusation
of having helped the Guggenheim-
Morgan crowd to get possession
of Controller Bay up in Alaska.
Controller Bay.as is known, is the
key to the great coal fields of Al
aska, and by having controll of
that harbor the Morgan-Guggen
heim crowd will be able to con
trol the coal fields which are worth
many millions of dollars. Mr.
Pinchot has replied to President
Taft’s explanation and he has
shown that the agents of Morgan-
Guggenhiem crowd were present at
Controller Bay when President
Taft opened those lands to public
entry. The rule is that 30 davs
notice should be given to the pub
lic before any public lands should
lie opened to settles, and by per
mitting the Morgan-Guggenheim
crowd to get secret information,
their agents were enabled to be on
the lands when they were opened,
practically making them a present
of that valuable cite. This is the
most daring charge against Presi
dent Taft, that he has shown a
willingness to give a rich syndicate
control of the Alaskan coal fields
worth probably $200,000,000.
The fact that farming lands in
the Southern states can be bought
for about one third the price that
is paid in other states is bringing
a great many investors to the
south from northern states and al
so from England. A British Com
pany has recently purchased 32
thousand acres of cotton land in
the state of Mississippi, and a
Dutch Company has purchased 9
thousand acres in the same state.
A California Company is financ
ing a big deal in the state of North
Carolina. A Chicago Company is
financing a deal for 30 thousand
acres in Georgia, and a New York
concern is about to make a big
deal in the state of Louisiana.
Valuable lands in the south will,
from now on, find ready purchas
ers and steady development.
Fate of the Delinquent.
An editor approached St. Peter
at the Golden Gate and handing
him a long list of delinquent sub
scribers said: “Look this list over
carefully and see if any of those
fellows have sneaked through the
Pearly Gates.” “No,” said Peter,
“there are none of them inside,
but a fellow slipped through here
the other day who took the
paper a year without paying
for it and had the postmaster
mark it ‘refused,’ but we are after
him, and when caught, he will be
consigned to the place where h§
properly belongs. He is meaner
even than the delinquent subscrib
er, and Heaven is not his home.
The subscriber who gave you that
| forty-pound watermelon has just
passed through and has been giv
en a crown and a harp.”—Ex.
Looking back upon a recent
sweltering spell and anticipating
the prospect of its repetition next
summer, we sincerely trust that
reciprocity provides for the ad
mission of Canadian ice and ice
bergs.
