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.

(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?
