Mr. Brooks was the youngest son
of the late Mrs. Anna Brooks, and
grew to manhood in this city. He was
an unusually bright and industrious
young man, being held in the highest
confidence and esteem by all who
knew him.
At the time of his death he held a
responsible clerical position with the
Naval Store Co., of Jacksonville. He
is survived by his widow and two
small children, and three brothers,

| P. Brooks of Macon, and Mr. Carlton

of Mrs. W. A. Cook.
j permanent highway. The place has a
| mile front on the Dixie Highway;
! runs back with Fishing creek as the
southern boundary; plenty of wood,
water and splendid combination farm
only a mile from Brown’s Crossing.
Then I have a splendid tract known
as part of the old Cook plantation.
No better place in this county. I
have a special price on this land that
will make it sell, as the owner wishes
it closed out. Better buy this place,
so you will not have to worry about
your tax returns next year.
Two hundred acres with fine tract
of timber, just beyond the State
Farm. This place is well worth five
thousand dollars.
Several nice farms on the East side
of the Oconee river, within five miles
of the city.
Nice farm with good eight-room
house, known as the old Harper home
—not far from Meriwether station;
contains 2U0 acres. This place lias al!
the houses on it that you will ever
need. Very reasonable at $8,400.
Several nice dairy farms near the
city. Remember the grass is growing
nicely now, and that this is the time
to make money'off of a dairy farm.
Buy whie the grass grows and the
milk and butter are high.
Many housese and other farms for
sale; also city lots, and a good store
room to rent—the only one in the
city. See J. L. SIBLEY.
P. S.—If you had on January 1st,
an old Boy Dixie plow’ or some round
cornered hoes, or a snub-nosed axe—
don’t forget to pay tax on them; but
if you had from one to ten thousand
dollars in the bank, don’t forget to
forget it, when you give in taxes.

The Progressive Campaign of the
Southern Presbyterian Church for
raising of four million dollars for the
year 1920-21 was opened in Mil-
ledgeville Presbyterian church on
Tuesday night, March 20th, by a sup-
lighted and decorated expanse greet
ed each one, a veritable Fairyland
of flowers and green, and in the cen
ter were three tables, and the % air was
laden with a coffee smell. It was
something new for the Methodists.
Prior to this time the pastor had,
with a few hands, been working for
almost six weeks, working secretly so
far as most of the membership war
concerned, and had cleared the base
nunf of rubbish, had drained the
area around the church and had

church last Wednesday evening. It 1
was the first time many had ever j
seen inside its mystic walls. A well 1 „ „ , , ,
t _ | per for the men of the church, served
by the ladies of the Woman’s Union,
of which Mrs. L. H. Andrews is the
efficient president.
! About forty men gathered at tho
appointed hour and were'given one of
the best meals that any appetite could
want. The hour had not only all that
the physical man could desire, but
the social contact was everywhere
in evidence. It was the unanimous
opinion of all present that such meet-
| ings should he held often by all the
churches. If the members could know
each other better they woujd love
pie to be his guests for the evening.
One was to got bis membership to
gether for an evening in a social way
and show them what a magnificent
property they had and to what a fine
purpose it could be put. He then ex
plained the many and varied services
it could render the congregation, and
outlined a magnificent program of
social and religious ends the building
could serve. He explained in detail
how the building was to be construct- j
ed and the costs involved.
“The other purpose,” said he, “is I
to get this coat of cinders packed. It j
would cost me $20 to ram them to lay
tho cement floor, and I thought that
after some of these big-footed Meth-
odists walked on them for a whole
j evening it might save me the $20.”
Many short but enthusiastic talks
were made.

toast to the Ladies Missionary Socie

Tigner spoke for the stewards and
officers; M. S. Bell represented the

The purposes of the campaign were

the work. He spoke eloquently and
fervently of the need and demands j mothel , fol . tlu

for the local church, told what tho

The assessment was $3,085. To this
was to be added the local budget of
$5,000, making $8,000 in all to be

E. A. Tigner, Misses Allie Stevenson,

and Mattie Moore, held a meeting on
Saturday and perfected the details
of the program for the exercises of
the day, which will be held at the
Baptist church at 11 o’clock Friday
morning, April 23rd.
Miss Virginia McClure has,
throughout the term, been practicing
the children in the songs which make
up a large part of the program, and
this feature of the exercises will k e
unusually catchy. The G. M. C. barid
will render a number of selections
during the exercises at the church,
and will also play on tho rt house
lawn at the time the basket dinner is
spread. The musical program will be
most entertaining.
