"Georgia Day” (Feb. 12) will be ob Berved by the public schools of the State on Friday, Feb. 11, and a procla mation to this effect has been sent out by School Commissioner Pound. The ’ official programme for the day has been published in the form of a booklet, ed ited and compiled by Miss Mildred Rutherford, of Athens. If anyone doubted the fitness of setting apart the day on which the first settlers land ed’at Savannah as "Georgia Day,” all that one need do is to note the follow ing list of achievements and discoveries in which Georgia stands first among all tho States of the Union, to-wit The first vessel commissioned to fight the British (in the Revolutionary War) was a Georgia schooner. The first steamboat to cross the At lantic was the "Savannah,” which sailed from Savannah, Ga. The first StateJJniversity in the Uni ted States was the University of Geor gia. The firot college in the world to be stow degrees upon women was Weslej- an Female College at Macon, Ga. The first chartered college for women in the world was this college.. The first wo man in the world to receive a diploma from any college was Mrs. Charles F. Benson, nee Brewer, and that diploma now hangs upon tho walls of Wesleyan College at Macon. Tho first discoverer of anaesthesia ■was Dr. Crawford W. Long, of Jeffer son, Ga. The first sewing machine in the world was made by Dr. Francis Robert Gould- ing of Liberty county, Ga., who also rivalled DeFoo as an author of stories of adventure. The first passenger railway train ran from Augusta, Ga., to Charleston, S. C. The first Sunday-school in the world was Btarted by John Wesley in Savan- mah, one year before Robert Raikes, of 'Gloucester, was born. One of the finest flute players and sweetest lyric poets in tho world was Sidney Lanier, of Macon, Ga. Tho first to codify the English com mon law and principles of equity was Thomas It. It.

Georgia was nlso tho first colony to send missionaries to tho Indians; tho first to suggest Memorial Day; the first to bestow Crosses of Honor on veter ans of tho War Between the States: the first to raise cotton in the United States. The first suggestion of a cotton gin came from a Georgia woman—Mrs. Hill- house, of Augusta. The first ironclad steamboat with a ram was the "Manassas,” built by a Georgian, Charles Austin. Tho history of its achievement is too well known to need repetition. The first brush for a cotton gin was invented by Mrs. Nathaniel Greene, of Suvnnnuh, Ga. li- slav- South Africa contributed the greatest amount to the world's stock of gold the past year, its share being a little over $160,000,000, the United States slightly less than $100,000,000, Australia about $80,000,000, Russia about $26,000,000 and Mexico a little less than $20,000,000, These figures show an enormous in crease in the world’s output of gold.

Faver Dies In LaGrange. Our community was plunged in deep est grief on Sunday last ny the an nouncement of the death of Mrs. John D. Faver, which occurred late Satur day night at her home in LaGrange. Mrs. Faver had been ill but a few weeks, and her death was a great shock to her Newnan friends, many of whom were not aware of tho serious nature of her illness. Following an operation on Monday of last week she began rapidly to decline, and although given the best medical attention and tender- est nursing, death mercifully ended her sufferings on Saturday night, and she peacefully passed away surrounded by the loved ones of her family. To the heartbroken young husband our heart goes out in silent sympathy, for only we who have passed through the valley of the shadow can realize the void that has thus been created in his young life -a life that but yesterday gave prom ise of fulfilling all that is cherished in human happiness. But the golden link has been shattered and the sweet spirit of her who was bound to him has been stilled, and only Time can soften the keener edge of a sorrow for which there is no earthly surcease. The remains of Mrs. Faver were brought to Newnan Sunday morning, being accompanied from LaGrange by an honorary escort from the Elks’ Lodge, an organization with which Mr. Faver was prominently connected. The fu neral took place Monday morning from the Presbyterian church, services being conducted by Rev. J. E. Hannah, as sisted by Dr. R. J. Bigham, Rev. W. J. Cotter and Rev. Giltress Herndon, E ast or of the Presbyterian church at aGrange. In the short and beautiful service tender eulogies were paid to the life and character of the deceased, after which the body was laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery. Tho floral offerings were numerous and beautiful—mute testimonials of the esteem in which deceased was held. The pall-bearers were Messrs. D. S. Cuttino, D. T. Manget, T. J. Fisher, J. S. Hardaway, jr., Wynn Smith, F. G. Hughes, N. L. North, B. M. Black burn and J. H. Powell. In speaking of the prospective race for Congress in the Seventh Congres sional district between Hon. Gordon Leo and Judgo Mose Wright, the Ma rietta Nows, one of tho most influenti al newspapers in the district has this to say: “Judgo Wright is a pleasing speaker, polished in manner and langu age, and will meet with some encour agement in tho district. But The News belioves he is making a mistake in run ning at this time. Hon. Gordon Lee has shown himself so fitted for the place by what ho has done and is doing for his constituents that they are not going to change him for another. They do not doubt Judge Wright; but they know Mr. Lee. Moro than 11,000 of the voters of the district have informed Mr. Lee that they thought ho should again run; and no man of patriotism such ns he can well resist the offer of their support for the high office. Wo would not mind supporting Judge Wright for something; but we must now support Mr. Lee for Congress. Never swap'll good horse off unless you know you are getting a better one.” During a debate in Congress one day last week upon the question of the tar iff and consequent high prices, Con gressmen Heflin, of Alabama, charged the Republicans with being responsible for the high cost of living. Never be fore, he declared, had it cost so much to produce a crop of cotton as during the past year, the high cost of living living having increased the cost of the crop. "If you Republicans of the North had a monopoly of cotton such as we have,” he said, “you would make us pay 20 cents a pound for it •every year, and then try to convince us .it was cheap at that price.” MORELAND. After many weary months of suffer ing Mrs. H, A. Martin died Wednesday, 26lh ult., and Thursday afternoon her pastor, Dr. S. B. Cousins, conducted the funeral services, preaching a most comforting sermon. Mrs. Martin was loyal to her church, and was a teacher in the Sunday-school just as long, as her health would permit. She was also president of the Woman’s Foreign Mis sionary Society, and will be greatly missed in the community. Mrs. McMichaol, who was sick only a few days with pneumonia, died Fri day morning. She was a devoted moth er, and leaves ten children—two having having preceded her to the grave some years ago. Funeral services were con ducted Saturday morning by her pas tor, Rev. W. S. Gaines. The bereaved ones have the sympathies of a host of friends. Two trusties from the county chain- gang escaped Monday, and at last ac counts had not been apprehended. Mr. and Mrs. T. T. Entreken, from near Senoia, visited relatives here last Saturday. Miss Lou Shaw has been visiting rel atives near here.

Mrs. Hemphill has been on the sick list this week. Mrs. Frank Thompson, who has been suffering with la grippe, is convalescent. Feb. 2d. LaGrange Graphic. 2d inst. After a serious illness lasting through several weeks, Mrs. John D. Faver died at her residence on Main street Saturday night about 11 o’clock. Mrs. Faver was one of LaGrange’s most popular and charming young mat rons, and her death brings sorrow to many friends in this city. Mrs. Faver, before her marriage, was Miss Sadie Mae Powel, of Newnan, having mar ried in January of last year. As a bride she came to this city to make her home a little more than a year ago, and her winning'personality and charming manners soon formed around her a large circle of friends. Mrs. Faver is survived by her husband, mother, two brothers and six sisters, and her death comes to them with crushing sorrow. The remains were carried to Newnan Sunday, where the funeral took place from the Presbyterian church on Mon day morning. A body of the Elks, about twenty in dumber, went as an escort with the fu neral party Sunday to Newnan. The many friends of Mr. Faver sym pathize deeply with him in the great sorrow which he has suffered. Congressman Clark, of Florida, and Congressman Thomas, of North Caroli- What a Bumper Cotton Crop Wil Mean. Macon Telegraph. A bumper cotton crop this year, with a still further reduction in the grain and root crops and consequent advance in the prices of these latter, will bring bankruptcy to the all-cotton farmers in a single twelve months. The ugliest prospect now in view the steadily advancing price of every- thing that one has to buy. I.et cotton fall to, or below the cost of production and the farmer who does not raise his own supplies will go to tho wall within thirteen moons. Notwithstanding the advent of the automobile, horses and mules show an increase in value of 160 per cent.; pork has increased 82 per cent.; lard 11 per cent.; tallow, 65 per cent.; anthracite and bituminous coal, 20 to 42 per cent, respectively. within two years farm land in the West and Middle West has doubled value. Saved Prom Awful Peril. I never felt so near my grave, ” writes Lewis Chamblin, of Manchester, Ohio, R. R. No. 8. “as when a frightful cough and lung trouble pulled me down to 115 pounds in spite of many remedies and the best doctors. And that I am alive to-day is due solely to Dr. King’i New Discovery, which completely cured me. Now I weigh 160 pounds and can work hard.
