DOUGLAS COUNTY SENTINEL, DOUGLASV1LLE, GEORGIA
III Memory W. G. Morris
On October 26. 1917. the grim
reaper Death came in our church
and community and plucked from
us another one of our much be
loved brethren, Bro. George W.
Morris.
He was born October 22, 1893,
in Douglas county, Ga, While
in young manhood he sought
Jesus and found him in the free
pardon of his sins.
He united with the Missionary
Baptist Church at Mount Zion,
Douglas county, in August, 1911,
a.nd was baptized by Rev. J. W.
McLeod.
Since then he' has been a faith
ful brother, attending meeting
regularly and ever ready to do
his duty as a child of God,
On February 14, 1914, he was
united in the holy bonds of mat
rimony to Miss Minnie Bartlett,
of Douglas county. To this union
was born three children.
Besides his wife and children
he leaves a father, mother, five
brothers and five sisters and a
host of friends and loved ones
to mourn his death.
His brothers are Clyde, Ray
mond, J. Hamilton, Abner and J
Carl; his sisters are Mrs. Stella
Herrod, Mrs. Hattie Mays, Mrs.
Vinie Jones. Miss Pauline and
Sarah Ellen Morris.
Bro. Morris was an obedient
son, a good husbandjand'jjfather,
and was loved by all who knew
him for his meek qualities as a
Christian man.
We feel that Bro. George hrs
kept the faith and thatjhe fought
a good fight and we believe that
there was a crown laid up fer
him. ...
Death is always sad, ■ but it
seems that ii one can be sadder-
than the other it is the going
away of one just in the prime of
life.
I-Iia stay on earth was short indeed,
But when God called he had to heed,
lie bid farewell to friend and fo.‘.
And left this earth for heaven to go,
He lived a life both kind and true,
God’s biddings here he tried to do.
God’s spirit led him- day by day,
To walk that sweet and heavenly way,
He wore a smile of love and grace
For all who saw his smiling face,
When troubles came he bore them well
His daily life the story tells.
Resolved, First—That we do
most humbly bow to the will of
Him who doeth all tilings well-,
and while our hearts bleed be
cause of the death of our bro
ther, we know the blaster of all
creation makes no mistakes.
Therefore we most humbly bow
in reverence to God. and say thy
will be done.
Resolved, ■ Second—That we
express to the loved ones our
heartfelt sympathy in Jtheir be
reavement and pray that through
their tears they may behold the
smiling face of Him who will
some day wipe away all tears
and transfigure them into gems
to adorn their crown when by
faith they will have endured
unto the end and shall be reuni
ted with their loved one and our
dear brother;
Resolved, Third—That the
family be furnished with a copy
of these resolutions, also that a
copy be sent to the Douglas
County Sentinel for publication.

MARKETING DEPENDS
ON ANNUAL SUPPLIES
Don’t Have To Buy Back Products
Sold At Beginning Of Season
In disposing of kis products the
farmer should first answer the fol
lowing questions: (1) Is the commod
ity to be sold an actual surplus con
sidering his annual needs? (2) Is it in
condition to market? (3) When is the
best time to soil?
Influenced by the lure of high prices
and the desire to hear the cash ‘‘jin
gle in his jeans,” the average farmer
is often induced to sell not only the
surplus products from his farm, but
much that is needed for home con
sumption. Many farmers in this State
sold corn at less than a dollar a bushel
during the fall of 1916, and in less
than six mouths bought it back for
more than double that price.
When there is no guarantee that
each succeeding year’s crops will suf
fice for its needs, it is the part of
wisdom to conserve a little more than
one would ordinarily expect to need
for home use during the ensuing year.
One of the most important factors
in marketing farm crops is their prep
aration for market. The Southern
farmer is a rather shrewd buyer, but
a somewhat inefficient salesman. Our
principal money crop having been cot- j
ton, we have not given much attention
to the sale of other products, and, as i
a consequence, we have not learned j
how to prepare them for market. It.
is true that (here are a few special
crops, such as peaches, which go on'
the market in good shape; but it has j
taken years to develop the peach 1
growers iu the matter of grades and |
standards. We must realize the im- ■
portanee of quality and appearance in
the sale of our products.
A point seldom stressed in connec
tion with farm business practice is the
distribution of the sale of commodities
throughout the year. To illustrate :
Suppose w„e knew now that before an
other cotton crop should be harvested
there would be urgent need for thir
teen million bales and that this year’s
crop would amount to only twelve mil
lion. Under these conditions it would
seem that the present crop could bo
harvested and sold immediately to a
good advantage, but we have long
since learned that, no matter how
short the crop, it must be sold gradu
ally if we expect good prices. Why
is it we cannot realize that the same
fundamental principle holds true in the
handling of other crops?
The United States Bureau of Mar
kets has in its employ over four hun
dred men, the Georgia State College of
Agriculture over a hundred. All of
these are at your service.—(M. C. Gay,
