In Memoriam.
Mrs. Myrtice Lovett Tarver, born
in Greenville, Ga.. Sept 22nd, 1875.
Married to Richard D. Tarver Sep.
23rd 1895.
Passed away from earth to Heaven
Nov. 24, 1911. ,
Love never inhabited a purer san
ctuary than her heart. She united
with the Methodist church when ten
years old. She loved God’s people
She would go to church when she was
physically not able to do so. She
was a Christian, steadfast, humble,
sincere, trustful.
0, cruel death you cannot rob mem
ory of such a gem. She is not dead
sleep only overtook her and freed her
from its gathering slumbqr£ in the
vale of dreams to awaken in the gv’d
en sunlight and to live in a pune ex
istence ever to end.
Her character was white as the fal
len snow, as sweet and fragrant as the
flowers of Man, as a rose that opens
but once its petals to the first rays of
the morning sun; kisses the tiny eb
arm of golden light that glow in the
pearly dew drops and sends its fra
grance heavenward then closes its life
forever. For we, the heart broken
ones remains only a happy memory
that fills the track. She pursued like
the ight of a beautiful plant that de
parts in the shining pathway of
the eternal stars.
Under a mound covered with beau
tiful flowers sent by loving relatives
•and friends she sleeps. Her sweet
life is an inspiration and influence
•of it wil leave on thehearts of those
that knew.
We cannot understand why she
■should be taken from the devoted
•eompainion, when they had only lived
I sixteen years of happiness together
I Why she was taken from the two pre
vious little children, the aged mother
and devoted brother.
“If here on the earth the cross we
bear,
1 It will but enhance our riches
there,
So we will stay till Heaven’s won
It is God’s way; His will be done
Tho’ we may lose our hearts desire
And oft be tired as if by fire,
We’ll trust on Him, the Holy one
It is God’s way; His will be done

Good Friday will turn black. So the
Sicilians and Britons regard Good Fri
day as a bad Baking day, while in most
of the rest of Europe it is supposed
to be the best day for making bread
The French are particularly super
stitious about bread. In Charaute
they fear to eat bread baked on All

AN OLD FRENCH “CASTLE”
Fort Niagara at the Mouth of the
Niagara River Has Interesting
History.
Buffalo, N. Y.—No place in America
possesses more interesting history
than old Fort Niagara at the mouth of
the Niagara river. The story of the
possession by the Indians, then th e
French, British and Americans each
I in succession, and then by the British
again and finally by the Americans,
is intensely interesting. Many of the
old buildings are still in an excellent
i state of preservation and are in con
stant use by the present occupants of j
Fort Niagara. The building shown in
j the illustration is the old French ;
“mess” house or “castle,” as it is now 1
j called. It was begun by the French
in 1725 and finished in 1726. It is 1
said to be the oldest existing masonry :
work west of Albany. Its dimensions 1
as planned by the French were 105x47
feet. The brick used in laying the

main floors was brought from France
and much of the stone for the walls
from Frontenac.
It is the tradition that the “castle,"
which is a very strong building, was
erected by stratagem. A considerable,
though not powerful, body of French
troops had arrived at the point. Their
force was Inferior to the surrounding
Indians. The French obtained con
sent oi the Indians to build a wigwam,
and induced them with some of their
own officers to engage in an extensive
hunt. The materials had been made
ready and while the Indians were ab
sent the French built the “castle.”
When the hunting party returned at
night the French had advanced so
far with the work as to cover their
faces and to defend themselves
against the savages in case of any
attack.
GRAPPLING A SAFETY PIN
How a Physician Removes One From
the Throat of a
Patient.
Chicago.—The modern physician Is
not obliged to guess at what is the
matter with a Man’s stomach or his
bronchial tubes; if the proper Instru
ments are at his disposal he can see
for himself what the trouble is quite
as well as if it were on the outer
surface of the body. If his patient has
swallowed a button or a pin the prac
titioner can see just where it is with
a simple instrument, and can have it
under his eye while he is extracting It.
Devices by which the interior cav 1
ities of the body could be seen were |
Invented, if not actually used, over a j
century ago, but none could be really
successful before the introduction of
the electric light. Now improvements
that are really marvelous are in the
hands of the better surgeons and the

Mother Dug Grave for Boys.
Argo, Colo. —Just as she finished
digging a grave for her three boys,
Mrs. Anna Covie was taken in charge
and sent to the County hospital. She
had borrowed a spade from a neighbor
and told him she was going to dig a
gra\e for her children and bury them
alive. He watched her until the grave
was ready, and then notified the po
lice. The woman had dressed the
boys for the occasion.

after he had crawled into a shed to j
sleep, Harry Sutton was killed in an '
explosion of tons of powder. The i
place he had intended to inspect was

DEVICE TO MEASURE FIELDS
Simple Contrivance Shown in Illus
tration Much Better Than Sur
veyor’s Chain or Tapeline.
The simple contrivance shown in
the Illustration for measuring fields is
much better than a surveyor’s chain
or tapeline, because it can be used
by one person, says the Homestead.
It is made of a small hub and spokes
a little larger than lath. Make them
of such size that one revolution meas
ures exactly one rod. This is done
by having each spoke thirty-two and

one-half inches long. The hub (b)
is made of two circular pieces of
board one inch thick and six inches
in diameter bolted face to face to
gether, and holding the spokes firmly
in the grooves previously cut. There
should be eight spaces between the
points, as there are eight spokes,
which at the end should be twenty
four and three-fourths inches apart.
The points of the spokes must not be
sharp, or they will sink into soft
ground and the distance will not be

accurate. Paint one spoke a different
color from the rest, so that It may be
easily counted every time it comes
around. Push the wheel ahead like
a wheelbarrow. Measure the field
lengthwise, then crosswise, multiply
length in rods by breadth and divide
the result by 160, which will give the
number of acres the field contains.
BALE YOUR HAY THIS YEAR
Kept Compact, Is Easy to Handle
and Takes Up Comparatively
Little Room—Always Clean.
Loose hay is so bulky that it takes
up five or six times the barn space
of baled hay. Loose hay quickly
gathers dust —which causes cough
ing of stock and perhaps disease.
The whole outsole of a stack of loose
hay is practically wasted by wind,
rain, sun and the other elements.
This often amounts to 20 per cent of
the stack. Loose hay can not be
shipped far, and the local dealer
knows it. So he pays you his price,
and you sell because you know that
your loose hay must be 'sold near
home.
Baled hay is compact—easy to
handle—takes up comparatively lit
tle space, so can be stored until
prices reach the top, when you can
sell anywhere, distance does not mat
ter much. Baled hay is always clean
and fresh, loses none of its nutritive
qualities, and there is no waste.
Gathering Onion Bulbs.
Notice your onions, and when the
tops cease growing and begin to de
cay, gather them. Dust air-slaked
lime over them, tie the bulblets in
bundles of one-half dozen and hang
them up in a cool place in the barn
or cellar.

The breeder that is afraid of the

Some weeds have such tenacious
roots that the only way to kill them
is to pull them up.
One of the chief causes for alfalfa

Chicago, November 30 —Georgia
held the center of the stage at the
Land Show in the Coliseum today.
Visitors whe crowded the exposition
i hall n record breaking numbers were
i greeted at the door by bands of Geor
j gia rooters, who decorated them with
■ badges of unique design an dpointed

Pecans grow in Georgia and it
I would appear there had been an abun
dant crop this year, for pecan nuts
were pressed upon the visitors by the
double handful.
The press around the Oglethorpe
colony booth was tremendous, for
tiny bales of cotton done up in exact
imitation of larger bales of com
merce, was gven away as souvenirs.
During the early part of the after
noon little tin pails containing sam
ples of the cotton seed products were
distributed, but the crowd became so
large, R. IL Buckley, of Atlanta, had
to call his helpers to take the remain
ing buckets out of the building.
All records for a single day’s at
tendance at the land show had been
broken at 7 o’clock. This evening
Thousands of men, evdently fiom the
ranks as clerks, took advantage of
the holiday to visit the land show with
their families.
Once while the crowd was at its
greatest, the band struck up the tune
, “Dixie” and pandemonium broke
( loose. The Georgians started to
whoop and applaud, and the cry was
taken up until the noise became so
great the sound of the music was prac
tically drowned out. Just wait until

Driving like mad, the intrepid mil
lionare, David Bruce-Brown, won the
grand prize at Savannah yesterday
I and incidently enriched himself to the
I extent of $25,000.00. His care was
I a Fiat.
The World’s speed record was a
gain shot into bits by Eddie Hearne’s
Benz for the first 205 miles of the
grand prize. The average was 76 1-5
mile an hour.
' Eddie Hearne, of Chicago, driving a
Benz car .was the leader in the grand
prize race when the halfway mark of
205 mile was reached. Thanks to
good luck with his tires and by dint
| of covering every lap but one at 77
miles an hour or better, had driven
his car into a three-minute lead over
Wagner’s Fait, which held second
place. Bruce-Brown in a Fiat was
third, Mulford was fourth. Hearne
had driven a marvelous race, pulling
up from eight place in the first lap to
1 first in the fifth. This position he
held except when the Marmon dis
! puled it with him in the seventh and
eight laps. His time for the 205.68
mile was 162.11 minutes.
The tenth lap, a little over 342
miles showed : Bruce-Brown’s Fiat
first. Time 277.04. Mulford’s Loz
ier second; Hearne’s Benz, third.
Interest in the grand prize reached
a tremendous height at the field of the
twentieth lap. Hearne had to make
another tire change and dropped out
in the lead. Only thirty one seconds
seperated the three cars.
