l^oans on the 1934 cotton crop were

it is the purpose of the administra

Captain Fer- i
Having had mt
years service, for
mor R. Hargrove has been retired
from active service with the rank of
Major Georgia National Guard, re
tired.
The Military Code State of Geor
gia authorizes the retirement of
officers after twenty years service
with the rank one grade higher than
the rank originaly held. Persuant to
this authority. Captain Hargrove, at
his request, was retired as Major per
special order No. 79, Adjutant Gen
eral of Georgia, order dated May 1.
1935.
Major Hargrove first enlisted in
the Baldwin Blues July 10. 1*10.
He served as private, corporal, serg
eant, and first sergeant in this com
pany and was commissioned a Sec
ond Lieutenant August 9, 1913. First
Lieutenant Oct. 17, 1916, Captain
June 8, 1930.
He saw service on the Mexican
Border during 1916 and 1917, and
during tl e World War he was
stationed at Albany, Ga.. and in
camp at Macon, Ga. He went over
seas with The Baldwin Blues in Oc
tober 1918, and when the Divis.on
to which the Baldwin Blues belong
ed was broken up and made into
replacements, he served with several
different regiments in France, and
was with the Army of Occupation
in Germany for several months.
There have been but few forma
tions of The Baldwin Blues since
[July 1910 at which Major Hargrove
' was not present, and it is thought
| that he has the longest record of
National Guard service of
I in Baldwin county.

Drying a 1917 Model T. Ford, in
continuous service for 18 ‘years, and
with what remained of 720 pounds
of groceries, provisions and gasoline
on board. Elmer Sherrill and his
family rolled into Detroit last week
to end a four-day "pleasure jauni
from* Santa Ana. California.
Arriving in Detroit, the Sherrills
took delivery of a new’ Ford V-8
Fordor Touring Sedan, made an in
spection trip through the Ford Rouge
Plant saw the sights, and started
back to California, the old Model T
in tow of the new’ touring Sedan.
A Santa Ana chemist, Sherill piled
up some remarkable records on his
2.640-mile trip across the continent.
With his w’ife and his son. Lynn, he
started the journey in the Model T,
carrying a total passenger, grocery
and equipment load of 1130 pounds.
They camped enroute. cooking meals
on a home-made pan placed on the
muffler of the car. They averaged
30.7 miles an hour driving time, and
25.1 miles per gallon of gasoline.
The total cost of the trip, enroute,
was SI8. The trip was made in 97
hours. On arrival, the speedometer
of the 18-year-old car registered
110.268.
Af'er taking delivery of the new
Touring Sedan, the Sherrills packed
all their luggage, which filled the
hack section of the Model T, into
the roomy trunk of the Touring Se
dan. hooked a tow-bar onto the old
car—and hopped off for California.
"The old car has been too faithful
a companion to part with her.” said
Sherrill. "We’re going to retire her
into lighter service From now on.
Lynn will drive the Model T to and
from school. We’re going to make a
lot of trips this year, and we had to
have this new Touring Sedan.”
