In Memory of Mrs. Smith. Written for the Home Journal. Mrs. Georgia V. Smith died at the home of her son, J. H. Smith, at 4:40 1 o’clock Sunday evening, May 7th, in , Fott Valley. Monday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock the funeral services were conducted by Rev. T. B. Harris at the home ot her son. Later the funeral services were con* eluded in the Fort Valley cemetery, where she was laid to rest by the side of hor infant ohildreu. A very largo number of friends be sides relatives who attended the fun eral and the profusion of beautiful flowers on the bier were Bilent'and elo quent tributes to tne noble character of this good woman who had seen call- led to her eternal reward. Daughter of Jackson P. and Har riett J. Pattisliall, both of Houston county, she was born Sept. 9, 1853. In 1806 she professed conversion to the religion of Jesus Christ aud be came a member of old Shilch Church and through a life of 45 years there after not in any dogr o did she depart from the faith she then professed. On November 8, 1974 Bhe was united in marriage to Mr. Lewis L. Smith. Of their union surviving her area hus band and six children and one grand- daughter,one sister and three brothers. No tribute to the virtues of this tiue and noble wornau could be made too strong. Her contributions to duty in every phrase of life was uot in words but in deeds, in doing good wherever she toifnd need or opportunity, She fol lowed the teachings of her religion,and many there be who will rise up and call her blessed. Where over known her influence was for good and to thoEe who loved her, the momory ofhorlife will prove to be a rich heritage of truth, faithfulness and charity iu its noblest sense. She leaves a host ot fiiends who deeply sympathise with her broken hearted husband and. children. But grieve uot, dear ones, for she is only waiting and watching for you to come where there will be no more sad parting. “A a precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in ourshome, Which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled, •‘The boom His love has given,' Ann though the body slumbers here, The soul is safe in Heaven.” A Niece, Perry, Ga. In Memory of Mrs. Wade Howard. Written For the Home Journal The death at her home near Lake- view of .Mr.^ Wade Howard, daugh ter ot Mrs. J, H. Duffell, cast a gloom over the entire community and fills mauy loving aud devoted hearts with deepest sorrow. MiBs Nannie Ruth Duffell was born January 23rd, 18S1, was edu cated in the Bibb County High Sclnfol, at Walden, Ga., was convert ed and immediately joined the Avon dale Baptist Church, Bibb county, in 1901, was happily united in marriage to Mr. Wade Howard of Houston county, a good citizen uud successful farmer In 1908.

A prominent Dougherty countian who is a highly successful farmer,and another prominent . Dougherty countian who is a successful manager of an oil mill, are going to Texas to study conditions in the cotton fields where the boll weevil, has been at its worst for several years. They will spend several weeks there, and when they get back to Albany they will know, ahead of the boll weevil’s com ing, what the farmers of Texas, Louis iana and Mississippi have had to learn through costly experience. This heading off of the weevil ought •to be worth a great deal to this sec tion summsr after next, or whenever the most formidable of all cotton pests reaches this part of the country. It will do no good to attempt to keep the weevil out of southwest Georgia. All such measures have ignominously j failed wherever they have been in- j troduced. The farmers only chance 1 is in planting and cultivating Ins crops along lines that give the boll weevil his poorest oppoitunilies. The pest cannot he destroyed outright, but it can be discouraged and handi capped by methods which have been tried with almost unfailing success. The Dougherty contains who visit Texas will be able to bring back first hand knowledge worth many thous and!? of dollars to the planters of this section, and, incidentally, to all other interests and classes.—Albany Her ald. Egyptian Cootton Again. Again the story comes to the fore that an effort will bo made to raise Egyptian cotton in the Western stalls. A Washington dispatcti says although exporiraenu were made at different points from South; Carolina to Texas as well as in Western Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern Cali fornia, it was only in the Colorado River region that climatic and other conditions similar to those in the Nile Valley, and suited to the long staple Egyptian cotton, were found. There 600,000 acres of excellent land are, or soon will bo, under ditch in the Im perial, Yuma, Salt and Gila valleys, and one fifth of this acreage could pro duce the amount of Egyptian cotton aupually imported for tlio use of New England mills. The amount of Egyp tian cotton required by this country annually is 60,000,000 pounds, valu ed at §16,000,000. One of the objections to the impor- ed Egypiain cotton is its mixture with the Hindu cotton. This is a name applied to an undesirable article 01 a snort, weak fibre that injures the genuine Egyptain g-adeby creating a hybrid. If the culture iuthiscouu- try proves successful the Hindu con tamination will be eliminated. — Macon Telegraph. Georgia farmers ought to learn everything that is to be learned about the cotton boll weevil, Indore the pest reaches this state. Had Tex is, Mississippi and Louisiana known, at the outset of the contest with the post, what they know now, those states would have been able to save a lt^rge part of what has been lost through the boll weevil’s depredations. It is com., paratively easy for Georgia farmers to learn, before the weevil reaches :jjhis state, what Ter.as, Mississippi aud Louisiana have gained through ex perience, and it isn’t any too early to begin right now. Subscribe now for The Home Journal Prof. W. E. B. DuBois (negro) refers to Booker Washington’s posi tion on the race question as a “quies cent palliatory doctrine of surrender.” No wonder the race problem is so bard to solve if that is the trouble with it. —Macon Telegraph. •rzzzs.
