You and each of you are earnest¬

sent them to do and now it is up
to us here at home to feed, cloth

this money and much more will be
needed to even do that.
Let no one fail to come forward,
who has not done so, and take up

as much an obligation as if you had

Mr. Editor :
It becomes a pleasant task to pen
a few lines in reference to Mrs.
Elizabeth O’Kelly, of Shoal Creek,
who quitely celebrated her 85th
birthday, Dec. 1st.
A nice and well furnished table
was prepared for her at the home
of her grand son and grand daugh¬
ter, Mr. and Mrs. Cicero Staton.
She was born in Hall county in
1833. She was the daughter of
Hugh Montgomery, and William
O’Kelly. She is the mother of
four children : Mr. John A.
O’Kelley, her oniy son. Mrs.
O’Kelley is a soldier of the Cross,
as she has been a member of the
Baptist church for near 70 years.
She has been, and is yet a very in¬
dustrious and useful woman. We
have never heard a word uttered
against this good lady. ller
friends are many and enemies none
This good lady is a widow whose
pilgrimage is made smooth by the
many attentions given her by her
son, Mr. J. A. O’Kelley.
We wish for her many more
days of pleasure.

Use Farmer Receives More Tfiaa Five
Thousand Date a Minute From
Swift & Company
This amount is paid to the farmer for live
stock, by Swift & Company alone, during the
trading hours of eveiy business day.
All this money is paid to the farmer through
the open mar ket in competition with large and
small packers, shippers, speculators and dealers.
The farmer, feeder, or shipper receives
every cent of this money ($300,000 an h6ur,
nearly $2,000,000 a day, $11,500,000 a week) in
cash, on the spot, as soon as the stock he has
just sold is weighed up.
Some of the moneji paid to the farmer dup¬
ing a single day comes back to the company in
a month from sale of products; much does not
come back for sixty or ninety days or more.
But the next day Swift & Company, to meet the
demands made by its customers, must pay out
another $2,000,000 or so, and at the present high
price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously
tied up in goods on the way to market and in
bills owed to the company.
This gives an idea of the volume of the
Swift & Company business and the requirements
of financing it. Only by doing a large business
can this company turn live stock into meat and
by-products at the lowest possible cost, prevent
waste, operate refrigerator cars, distribute to
retailers in all parts of the country —■ and be
recompensed with a profit of only a fraction of
a cent a pound—a profit too small to have any
noticeable effect on the price of meat or live stock.
