Pittard, two men, who for many years have been closely identified in the af fairs of this community, we have suffered a great loss. Time only will show whether this loss is ir reparable. Each left an imprint upon the moral and social fabric that those in passing may easily ‘see, “Ex celsior.” Mr. Low was born in Milton cou nty, Georgia, July 1848, and came to Duluth more than forty years ago.

The Old South, in Civil war, and the reconstruction periods, were days he lo.ved to live over and over again and few living are so well versed in the life and times of the good old days before the war, the strife that followed it, and the traditions that placed honor and integrity first in everything. Mr. Dow married Miss Alina Vir ginia Knox, who many years ago passed away and in Tier memory he' has always lived. One child, Mrs. j Mary L. Wilson survives him. He also leaves a sister. Octavia Nichols, who has been a member of his household for many years. Mr. Charles H. Pittard was born in Gwinnett county, Georgia, Nov. 3, 1356, and came to Duluth over thirty years ago. He was one of the organizers of the Duuth Baptise church, helped to build the church, was an officer and leading layman While he was modest nd retiring hi) views were never in doubt and his personality carried movements to success without speech. Mr. Pittard married Miss Nancy Johnson January 25, 1880, and twelve children were born to them. Mr. Pittard and eleven of the chil dren survive him and reside in Dulu th, where they make up a vital part of the better citizenry. Whereas, the Duluth Civic Im provement club, deploring the loss of two such men, who have so ef fected the destimy of the community therefore, Resolved; That we extend sympathy to the breaved families, and urge upon them the necessity of prepetuating the acts and deeds of these worthy departed citizens; That these resolutions be spread upon the minutes, and - copies be sent tto each of the families, and request that the county papers publish.

FLORIDA AND TOURISTS. Arthur Brisbane, a very observant journalist and one of the largest owners of real estate in the United States, has been jourrneying down to Palm Beach. He has been sizing jp the people down there and he concludes that visitors to Palm Beach are made up of three classes. First. People that have nothing to do and seek the most agreeable places in which to do it. Second. Men that have too much work and too much money, whoes doctors send them away. Third. Men that go South to see wives who fee that if you are not photographed sitting cross-legged on the sand, at Palm Beach once a year you might as well be dead. We have heard that Florida as a ter resort is intended for the very young and the very old. The middle aged do not get very much enjoy ment ther because there is not enough to do through the long sum mer days. The kids like it because they can be out of ooors and escape the rigors of a Northern winter. Old folk and invalids flock to Florida to keep warm. Visitors to the Penin sula State can pick out a great nu mber of these midwinter residents by the palsy in the limbs or the sickly pallor of their faces. The middleaged men and women who go to Florida are not the very rich. They are those able to own an auto mobile and trek Southward when the first frostr comes. They go to Flor ida to live moderately and at small exepense. They figure that it is cheaper to buy food in Tampa or Palm Beach or one of the smaller towns in Florida than it is to buy coal in Pennsylvania, Main or Ver mont. I Florida is not only the playground of the nation, it is its fireplace as well. FOR SALE—USED CARS. Several used FORDS at a cheap nrice. H. P. STIFF MOTOR CO.

MEMORIAL COIN VOTEPASSES Washington,—Without a dissent ing vote, the senate passed Thurs day afternoon the Smoot bill author izing the cojning of silver fifty-cent pieces in commenoration of the Stone Mountain memorial to the Confederacy.

Atlanta, Ga., February 18.—The “crawfish” feature of the new tax bill whereby it is proposed to extend the income tax reduction backward over 1923 taxes, does not affect the obli gation of each one to make returns and pay on the current schedules on or before March 15, J. T. Rose, col lector of internal revenue for Geor gia, announced today. Those who pay their taxes by in stallments will get the reduction taken off the last installment. If the reduction is 25 per cent, as pro posed, credit will be given for the entire final installment, a lump sum will have the benefit of rebates, Mr. Rose explained. The whole will hayfi.lo be scut in as bc-i Fore, despite any enactment of con gress affecting 1923 taxes. Th.ose who do not come forward and pay, either in lump sum or by installment, will be adjudged delin quent after March 15, and will be subject to the same penalties as if congress had never legislated on the subject. Promises Everyone Justice. Reduction for 1923 can be very easily handled, Mr. Rose stated, and every ore will get justice, even down to each red cent. But, at the same time, the collector warned that it would not be prudent in the least to delay payment of the 1923 tax be cause there is a majority in the low -■r hoi se of congiess which pioreses to ?,: ve the new income tax sched ules extend backward over 1923. Aliens Must Toe the Mark. A jealous fatherland is the United States of America, and very partic ular is Uncle Sam as to who shall be received into the great family of citizenship as shown by the natural ization act of congress, passed in 1906, as pointed out today in the fed eral court, which alone has the power to naturalize aliens. Any alien to become a citizen of the United States must “renounce all allegiance and fidelity to. any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty.” He or she must swear tha,t he or she will “support and defend the constitution and laws of the United States against all enemies, both for eign and domestic, and bear true faith and allegiance to the same.” He or she must renounce nil titles of nobility or distinction. Aliens must be residents for five years of the United States before they can take out first papers. He or she must declare on oath and set forth in a declaration that it is his intention to become a citizen of the United States and to renounce all allegiance to any foreign prince, potentate, statg.’or sovereignty. There are other requirements in sections of the naturalization act, but renounc ing other masters is the main thing. TAX RECEIVER’S NOTICE.

HORSE 53, IS STILL IN LIGHT SERVICE ■ Bloomsburg, Pa.—Clover believed to be the oldest horse in the country recently observed his fifty-third birthday anniversary in his stall on a faarm near here. Clover is ap parently in the best of health and shows few of the infirmites his ad vanced age would indicate. How ever, he takes things easy nowadays passing his declining years drawing a country minister about his parish. He does no heavy work. Clover raced for more than 20 years, but his only public showing since then was in 1922, when he was sent to the New York Horse Show for ex hibiton.

So much has been written of the discovery of the tomb of King Tut- Ankh-Amen, the youthful Pharoah of Effynt who flourished something like 3,000 years ago, and what might possibly be found in it and the mum my case, that it has seemed as if no new word would be spoken on the subject. Still there is a thrill in the news that the lid of the great pink sarcophagus has been opened, dis closing “a stupendously magnificent mummy case covered with piates of solid gold.” There was an effigy of the king in gold-—“a gleaming gold man.” It is announced that the for-' midable operation of opening the colossal mummy case will not be un dertaken this year. The richness of the tomb has been emphasized from the first steps taken in opening it. Many articles, including leather couches, elaborately carved and painted boxes containing robes and jewels, funeral offerings and palace furnishings were removed. The most significant thing about it, of course, is the measure it affords for the advance in civilization in es timating the importance of individ uals and leaders. As Tut had not had time to do much of value, even if he had had the ability, it is obvious that all the honors paid him were due merely to the fact of his having been in the position of king. His tomb is opened simply through a desire to study the customs of the age in the treatment of the royal dead; to see what the tomb contains. Thus there is more interest in the cloth wrap pings that have endured for so long than there is in anything done by the young Pharoah when he was in the quick. We may well imagine that the practical-minded will insist that the gold and other things of value discovered in the tomb be put to practical use. Some may figure the waste of letting such a quantity of gold lie idle for thousands of years. King Tut-Ankh-Amen will be known in history only for his tomb. But for a lucky stroke he would not have been known even for that; the place of his burial had for so long been forgotten that its location now is regarded as one of the greatest discoveries. Both the man and hip tomb would have so far as the world is concerned, as if they never had been. Only a few days ago there waR laid to rest in Washington, D. C., with the simplest rites a man whose works will live inspiringly through the succeeding ages. He represented an age tlhat looks upon such dis plays as those connected with the entombment of the pharoahs as child ish'—and that is a measure of the advancement of humanity.

Brogdon, dissmissed. FROM LUXURY TO NECEoSITi When the automible was first pre sented to the farmer he bought it, if he bought it at all, as a pleasure vehicle. Now he is buying automo bile trucks to do his hauling. Govern ment figures show that as an average all over the United States it cost 15 cents to haul a ton of farm products a mile with a motor truck where it cost 33 cents to haul a ton of pro ducts a mile with horses. With this opportunity to reducing iis hauling cost 50 per cent it is only natural that the farmer should be turning to the motor truck as a means of getting his products into town. This matter of hauling is only one of the things in which the farmer is beginning to consider very careful the cheapes) way of doing anything He has come to realize that every hour he spends in doing unproductive labor .means an increase in tha cost ofproducing his yearly crop and hence a decrease in the net prof t for the year’s work. He is coniine to’ realize the great importance of time and labor saving. This is one of the reasons wh the small electrict plant is becomin such a factor in farm life and worl Accurate satistics are not availabl but it is quit resonable to assum. that at least 150,000 farms i America are bing served by these e ectric plants. Electric motors, b doing the pumping, grindgid, churi ing, milking, separating and a hur dred other farm talks either elimir ate certain kkinds of labor altogethe or make a two mans Job into a on man job, and the farmer appreciate this saving and time. Not only thi but electricity on the frm through it giving of bright, clean and saf electric light gives a service which i' not only appreciated by the farme but by his wife and every member ol his family.
