INSURANCE.

A. G. Maxwell, Mgr.
Col. Dean At Carrollton.
The Carrollton newspapers
left no doubt in the minds of any¬
one regarding the Dean-Harwick
incident in Carrollton the other
day.
After stating that Senator T. W.
Ilarwick, who made his opening
address there, refused to meet H.
H. Dean of Gainesville in joint de¬
bate, and that Mr. Dean, who is
considering entering the Senatorial
race, spoke on the public square to
a larger crowd than Hardwick had,
the Carroll Free Press has this in¬
teresting paragraph :
“Dean called the Senator ‘the little
Bantam Rooster’ and proceeded
without cermony first to pick off
the bantam’s feathers, then his
hide, then trimmed his spurs and
comb. In fact, the Senator would
not have known himself if he had
stayed to hear the arrignment.”
From the report of the Carroll
County Times, the following perti¬
nent paragraph is taken :
“Dean proceeded in a manner to
flay the Senator and to answer his
speech of the morning. He called
for Hardwick men to hold up their
hands, ann be counted,but evident¬
ly they were not in the crowd, they
had, like the Senator, folded their
tents and silently stolen away,since
scarce a dozen hands were thrust
aloft.”
In Memory o! Miss EQie Clark.
(By One Who Loved Her.)
She was born May 15, 1893, and
died April 24, 1918. These dates
mark the earthly beginding and
ending of a most lovable youiig
lady.
The life of Miss Effie Clark was
not very long—25,years, 11 months
and 9 days. But during these fleet¬
ing years Effie Clark built a char¬
acter that causes those who knew
her to feel that there is a vacant
place in the home, in the commun¬
ity and in the church that can
never be filled. As a child and as
a girl she was obiedient and honor¬
ed her father and mother. When
grown to womanhood, she was still
to them the same child—obedient,
thoughtful and loving.
She joined the Methodist church
at Loudsville when about 31 years
old ; and lived a beautiful consis¬
tent christain life from that time,
until God called her home to join
her suited papa who had gone be¬
fore.
Her health had been bad for
quite awliil before her death; but
she was patient and submissive in
all her suffering.
It was the writers dutiful pleas¬
ure to be with her some during her
last days, and do al! we could to
to allay her suffering. We never
knew anyone to bear their afflic¬
tions with as much patience and as
little complaining, as did Effie,
She never troubled anyone with
her troubles—always spoke cheer¬
ful to every one.
During her very last day s when
her sweet lips could hardly move
and her parched tongue was al¬
most past moving, she would tell
iier friends who would kindly in¬
quire as to how she was feeling,the
reply was “tolerable well.” She
seemed to not want her loving
mother and sweet sisters to know
how sick she was. She tried to
impress on their trouble minds that
site was going to get well, even
when she knew she could not.
She is out of this turmoiling
strife, her once suffering baby is
now at rest in the grave; her sweet
spirit has flown to God who gave
it.

FINISHED HOGS BRING
PREMIUMJN MARKET
Packers From Want Hogs Weighing
150 to 200 Pounds
The co-operative hog sales over the
state show that hogs weighing from
ISO to 200 pounds and well finished
are bringing a premium of from one
to two cents a pound over the light
and unfinished hogs that are offered
for sale by the farmers. This shows
that the packers are willing to pay
good prices for the right kind of hogs,
and that a hog will no longer sell for
a fair price merely because he is a
hog.
Light hogs make the most rapid and
economical gains. After the hog passes
the two hundred pound mark the gain
per pound of food consumed steadily
decreases and the hog soon becomes
a losing proposition. The marketing
of the hog at an early age gives the
farmer a chance to turn over his mon¬
ey oftener and thereby make a larger
total profit.
The boys in khaki need more and
more bacon for the world’s meat sup¬
ply is not large enough to meet the
demands. By feeding out the light
hogs and finishing off the young ones
so as to bring them to one hundred
and fifty pounds as quickly as possible
the same results may be accomplish¬
ed that would otherwise have to be
brought about by increasing the num¬
ber of hogs, that is increasing the total
meat supply.—Editor, State College of
Agriculture,
