IN MEMORY OF JESSE L. WILKES
i
On Monday afternoon, November!
19,1923 just as the golden sun had |
finished his reign over the day, and j
was sinking to rest, in the golden
glowing west, a precious and use
ful life was ending, and its soul
virged its flight heavenward to the
God who gave it.
A dearly beloved and prominent
citizen has passed away. He was
born July 28, 1865 in what was then
Montgomery County, but now
Toombs near Aimwell, the little
church of which he was almost the
soul founder; that sits among the
lovely pines that seem to mourn and
sigh their loss.
He was the soul of honor. He
was as true as steel to his convict
ions. He was the most loyal of
friends to his fellow men and com
rades. He never spared himself in
what he promised to do for them in
his desire to serve them loyally. He
was a great friend and helper to the
orphans of his community and coun
try at large; his kindly heart ever
going out to those in distress and
need. No man had greater sympa
thy for them than he, for he never
knew the kindly love and advice of
a father, giving his life for his coun
try in the war of 65.
He spent his useful and beautiful
life within a few miles of where he
was born. He married Miss Emma
Jane Thompson the sweetheart of his
boyhood days on September 21, 1887
just at the twilight hour, the time
Jof his death. During this time nine
children, five sons and four daught
ers were given them to bless and
cheer their happy home. His beau
tiful and well spent life stands out a
glowing monument to them and his
fellow country men at large.
When he lay in his casket, his face
was beautiful with its lovely smile
of serenity. May God help us to
apply our hearts ‘o wisdom that we
to may meet death calmly and also
rest in peace.
He was laid to rest with Mason
ic honors in the family cemetery, be
neath the kingly oaks, the trees of
his choice that shall overshadow’s his
grave from early dawn till night.
Only those who have waited, watch
ed and suffered and have seen the
clutch of deaths cold fingers never
to be relaxed, can understand how
helpless are we mortals to stana
death off in the final hour of strug
gle and pain.
But let us not say that he is dead,
but sweetly sleeps the sleep of the
righteous on that imperial shore,
where sorrow and daeth can enter
never more.
Still in our wounded hearts the
deep sorrow reigns for.
A dear one from Us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our lovely
homes,
That never, never can be filled.
One Who Loved Him.

THE POWER SITUATION
AT THE CLOSE OF 1923
The year 1923 comes to a close
with an unexcelled record for ac
hievement. Particularly in the field
of electricity has great advancement
been shown. During this year the
long-discussed “super-power” system
became a reality. Individual and
costly systems have given place to
multiple and inexpensive systems.
Super-power or power insurance
means, in its full analysis, cleaner
cities, busier countrysides, and an
easier, richer life. It means unlim
ited power at a reasonable rate.
Take the average small town for
example. It has its individual power
plant which generates (when funct
ioning power properly ( electricity
enough for its needs. It depends
upon coal to make the steam which
turns the generator. (A thunder
shower, a coal shortage, a fire or
any one of a hundred minor happen
ings, ties up the whole electric sys
tem for the town. Moreover, this
method of making and distrubing
power is of necessity very expensive.
Note the conditions under the
super-power system- The town’s
distribution lines would be connected
to the nearest tfbnsmission line of
the super-power system. Electric
power, first of all, would be less ex
pensive. If for some unavoidable
reason the nearest power plant were
disabled, power would be forthcom
j ing from more distant points with
out interruption of services. For
instance, a delayed shipment of coal
to South Georgia would not tie up
the service. Power would be fur
nished from North Georgia or Tenn
essee or Alabama of the Carolinas.
Another direct advantage over the
single unit system is the factor of
unlimited power. There comes a
time when the town unites for a
campaign to bring new industries to
that locality. The first question
asked is, “How are you fixed for
power,” If the reply is that the
town is a part of the inter-connect
ing system, nothing more can be
desired or sxpected. If there is on
ly the local plant to depend upon,
the locality will be at a disadvan
tage and cannot compete with other
towns which have become a part of
the super-power system.
In the preceding nine months the
citizens of Georgia have had a prac
tical demonstration of the value of
the super-power system. Over the
interconnecting lines, the companies
have brought into Georgia more than
fifty million kilo-watt hours of
power.
While the Southern States have
been leaders in this movement for
adeqate power, the balance of the
nation has not been idle. Herbert
Hoover, addressing the first official
Super-power Conference in history,
held recently in New York where
representatives of a dozen states met
the approval of the President”
to plan a superpower system for the
Eastern seaboard, declared:
“The natural development of the
superpower project lies first in
the inter-connection of power
supplies between great utility
companies now existing.”
Mr. harles Merz, in “Collier’s” for
; December 29th, 1923, notes the great
advance made throughout the year
1924. In commenting on the pro
gress this far made, he says:
“Take the South for instance.
The chief power systems of five
states are unified today. Nine
miles of trunk line link Alaba
ma, Georgia, Tennessee, and the
two Carolinas. That link trans
port a hard-working current of
110,000 volts —five hundred
times as powerful as the current
Edison first used, a generation
ago. The engineers who inter
locked the system made a thor
uogh job of it. They have tied
forty-two different plants, cap
able of a million horsepower, in
to this single circuit. More
over, they have made good use
of a resource usually neglected.
Three-fourths of that million
horsepower is the gift of harnes
sed waterfalls —‘whitcoal’ re
plenishing itself in every sum
mer freshet.”
With the national government urg
ing this method, with the great util
ities of the nation leading the way,
with the citizenship of the country
co-operating and assisting, the com
ing year presages greater develop
ments in the. field of electrical pow
er than had been dreamed of a gen
eration ago.
The utility companies of Georgia
are expanding as rapidly as money
can be obtained. Great progress
has been made in 1923. Far great
er progress will be made in 1921.
The outlook from every angle is ex
ceedingly bright. ,

Readers desiring personal replies on

may write Miss A. Leda, care of this

and stamped envelope.
Dear A. Leda :
(1) Will you please tell me what
bridesmaids should wear in the eve
ning in the way of hats? (2) Are
bandeaus incorrect? (3) Do the
bridesmaids wear gloves nowadays
as they used to? Thank you.
Phtlis 8., Ala.
Small turbmns are worn a
great deal. Fitting close to the
head as they do they go better with
a dressy afternoon or evening dress
than a large brimmed hat. Ban
deaus are worn occasionally, but
not often. Undoubtedly the reason
for this is that in some churches
women are forbidden to uncover
their heads. (3) No. Gloves are
seldom worn by the bridesmaids
of today. That as well as a few
other dress accessories seem to be
a relic of the past
Dear A. Leda:
Please state Just what part of a
wedding (where there is to be a me
dium-sized reception) falls to the
groom to finance? Also, if his best
man comes from some distance and
lodges at a hotel for a night, should
the groom offer to pay his expenses?
