One of the most sensational and in
teresting games of football ever to
U ke place In Milledgevllle will be
witnessed here Thursday, Thanksglv-
leg day, when the Georgia Military
College aggregation will go into a con
test with Gordon Institute, of Barnet
rllle.
There is not a team in Georgia prop
football that has made a record this
season to equal that of the Georgia
Military College line-up. The local
athletes have played many games with
otter prep teams In the state since
the season started, but In every In
stance the G. M. C. cadets have come
out decidedly victorious.
However, G. M. C. has not had a
combat with the Barnesvllle student
athletes. The Gordon Institute crowd
has a record second only to the local
college aggregation and in view of the
tact the two teams have had euch easy
sailing with their opponents so fnr
tackled, unusual interest is centered
around t.c game proposed for Thurs
day.
Gordon and G. M. C. hava been
•trong contestants for several years
and the admirers of the two teams,
thousands In numbor, are expected to
be here Thanksgiving day to /itnosa
the gala event of the season. This
gauio to come off here tomorrow is be
ing talked of far and near and ac
cording to present prospects ono of
the largest crowds ever assembling
here to witness an athletic contest will
be in Milledgevllle when this event is
commenced.
Many of the U. M. C. alumni all over
Georgia have signified that they
wo: id be here to see the big scrap be'
tween their alma mater and Gordon.
Likewise, it is said that a great deal
ot interest is being t hown by the slum'
ni of tile Darn isville school in the ap
proaching game -. ere. '

About 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon
Mr. Frank AT. Gobert, former well
known citizen of Milledgevllle, ended
his own life in Albany at the home of
hla daughter, Mrs. W. O. Pearson.
Mr. Gobert had been in ill health for
several months and hit physical condi
tion la believed to have been the cause
of his decision to commit suicide. The
act was done by the placing of a pistol
to hla temple.
Some two years ago Mr. Gobert left
Milledgevllle to spend a part ot 'hla
time with his son, Mr. Horace Gobert,
in Gainesville, Fla., and a part of his
time with hlo daughter in Albany. Fcr
more than a year his health declined
and he continued to grow weaker from
month to month.
At the time Mr. Gobert took his life
he was In his room at the home of his
daughter. While the members of the
family were aware of the fact he was
huite depressed on account ot poor
health the matter of taking his own
life waa unsuspected.
Monday the body was brought to
Milledgevllle for burial. Interment
took place In the city cemetery here.
Mr. Gobert had reached the ripe
age ot eighty years and until two
years ago he enjoyed the best of
hcatlh and was often referred to as
the youngest old man In Georgia.

'Box 266, City.
Upon their return to Augusta fol
lowing the conclusion of the conven
tion of Federated Women’s Clubs of
Georgia recently held in Savannah,
several well known and active club
women took occasion to pay splendid
tributes to Mrs. Edward R. Hines,
president of the Tenth District Fed
erated Women’s Clubs.
The references of these several
women to Mrs. Hines are quoted in
part below and will doubtless be
read with a great deal of interest by
the friends and neighbors of Mrs.
Hines In Milledgevllle and Baldwin
county.
From Mrs. T. J. Hamilton, wife of
Editor Hamilton, of the Augcata
Chronicle:
The most enthusiastic and in-
spiring of all the sessions was the
district presidents’ eventug and
our own Mrs. Hines, of the tenth
district was the bright and par
ticular star of Che occasion. She
received a wonderful ovatli a on
her first appearance, but at the
end of her five minute address
in which she related the accom
plishments of the tentoi district
women’s clubs for the last year,
the applause was overwhelming.
And, indeed she was forced to
come out and make a second ad
dress as she received not one
gavel*but two for her year’s work.
One of the gavels was given her
for having federated more new
clubs in one year than any other
district president, a total of 31 in
number, and the other was pre
sented by Mrs. Walton Purdoin,
of Sparta, to be given to the club
doing the greatest work In the
tenth district, Mrs. Hines to
make tho presentation at her own
district meeting. Indeed, not only
all of t':e tenth district, but Geor
gia as well, is proud to claim Mrs.
Hines as one of Georgia’s bright
est and noblest women.
On district president’s night,
this being Thursday night, Nov
ember 10, tho session was pro
longed r.nt!l after midnight,
which was until the wee small
hours of the 11th or Armlsticb
Day, and the Georgia Federation
of Women’s Clubs spent two
minutes In silent prayer for the
success of the disarmament con
gress, being probably the first
hand ot women to assemble feat
day throughout the United
States to ask Divine guidance for
the statesmen in Washington
-who are seeking to avert future
wars. The cession was then
brought to a close by prayer
from Dr. Neil Anderson, pastor of

Whitfield Grocerv Company Deputy Warden of County
Has Established Station
Here to Consume Surplus
Dairy Products.
(By L. E. SWAIN, County Agent)
It gives me a great deal of pleas
ure to make the announcement that
at last we are to have a cream depot
In Mtlledgevllle. The Whitfield Gro
cery Company has agreed to estab
lish this station, and to pay the far
mer for the sour cream on the same
basts as could be obtained at a cream
ery less a small margin to cover
transportation and the expense of
handling. This company realizes the
need of placing a steady cash lnco r.e
in the hands of every farmer In tho
county, and tor that matter, closely
adjacent counties, and is willing to
go to the trouble of consolidating the
cream from off the farms, and finding
a foreign market for It.
A great deal of talk has been in
dulged In during the last several
months about turning milk products
Into cash, and helping to 'jive -he
farmer with only a few cow*, a steady
income; now that the way has been
opened, and the cream station Is in
actuality, tho responsibility is upon
Convict Camp Sustains
Severe Injuries Thursday
Evening. \ ■ kl ,
Mr. J. T. Goddard, deputy warden
at the Baldwin county convict camp,
was painfully bruised Thursday eve
ning when the buggy he was riding In
was rtruck by an automobile driven
by Mt. Owen Moran.
The accident took place on the ele.
vated road leading up to the brtdgd
over the Oconee river. Mr. Goddar$
was leaving the camp at 7 o’clock in
the evening to go to his home. Mr.
Moran drove up behind him in an au
tomobile said to. have carried very
dim lights and before either party had
time to realize any serious danger the
car crashed Into the buggy, the latter
being practically demolished.
Mr. Goddard sustained painful
bruises on the left arm, head, righl
foot and left knee. However, ft wa*
necessary for hlnr to be confined to
his room only a couple of days after
the accident took place.
The car Mr. Mosan was driving was
turned completely over when the
brakes were suddenly thrown on Id
an endeavor to avoid running into the
1 buggy driven by Mr. Goddard. For
tunately, he escaped without Injuries
the farmer to encourage the un ler-
taking by patronizing It and brings "th7y MightT^aeTtaut

less the farmer gives It, hla patron- (
age. Tile opening of this cream sta
tion should make an especial appeal
to the small farmer with a large herd,
who is living a considerable distance
from the market; possibly these cows
are not bringing him any income at
all at present. If he will give them
» little closer attention they car. be

The average farmer perMkps can
not "afford a separator in tho begin
ning, but the skimming can ho done
by hand and tUe cream collected in
Jars, or any other suitable vessel, titid
brought in to Mllledgeville twice a
week. As hand skimming does r.o'
get as much of tho butter fat from the
milk as wo lil n separator, it is a<l
vis-able for the farmer to churn the
skimmed milk, and In that way suf
ficient butter would he secured to
supply the family table, giving the
I surplus butter-milk to t'.:e pigs and
chickens.
It may appear to the farmer ihat
the price ho In getting tor this sour
cream is too low, hut he will have lo
take into consideration, that he is not
"selling the milk, only tho cre*m is
being sold, and he still ..has tha milk
to dispose of as ho sce3 tit. Taking
the cream from milk does not destroy
its food value, os very little of tl :
