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, j II. E.

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 ter,-ted. the ladies to help prepare Mo feast that was on the long ta- , , , . ., . ■ each other better, and knowing the hies.

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. | Mrs. E. R. Hines responded to a toast to the Ladies Missionary Socie ty; Otto Conn to a toast to the Cen tenary; Mr. R. H. Wooten and Dr. Tigner spoke for the stewards and officers; M. S.

After Mr. Ficklen had finish ed Mr. Kyle A. Alfriend, chairman for the local church, told what tho requests of the church at large was upon the Milledgeville congregation. The assessment was $3,085. To this was to be added the local budget of $5,000, making $8,000 in all to be raised by the Milledgeville congrega tion during the coming church year, which ends March 31st, 1921.

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.
