Part Recovered
If you happen to have a streak
of yellowish streak of crooked
ness in your system, either
cleanse your system of such
thoughts or leave Jeff Davis
County, for we have a SHERIFF
here who just will not permit
you stealing and get away with
it, for he has brought before
the Bar of Justice several just
such c¢rooks as thieves.
Last week, Alvin Livingston,
a hard working {armer residing
on the Lee MecEachin place in
this county, had $200.00 stolen
from his home. He had the
money hid in a fruit jar and put
away for a rainy day. (Foolish
of Livingston for doing such a
thing with his hard-earned
money with a good, safe Bank
in our county..) Livingston
missed hiz money and bis sus
picions grew and the more it
grew the more it centered on
two young white men of Ap
pling -county ;- Messrs’ Adlvin
?fart’e?"hnd Walter Sapp. Li
vingston did the right thing
when he called Sheriff Evans
and laid his case before the
officer. The sheriff, as usual,
began his rounds of Shylocking
and soon had the above white
men in the toils of the law with
a confession and $169.00 of the
stolen money returned to Alvin
Livingston, the rightful owner.
Sheriff Evans is fast working
himself up a reputation of run
ning down crooks and la w
breakers in general, which is
unequaled in the State of Geor
gia, and his work is attracting
attention throughout Georgia.
Congratulations, Sheriff!
MEMORIAL
God Plucks A Lily
Mrs. H. F. Yarbrough
By B. A. Roth.
Her name was Lily. We shall
never forget her because she
lived as beautiful a life even as
a Lily. She lived for God and
}her friends. God planted this
Lily in our very midst only to
come and pick it for Himself.
She is gone, that is true, and we
will all miss her more and more
each day, for she was a friend
to all while she stayed. God
saw fit to pluck this Lily while
tender in years, and we say we
can't understand why he had to
take her. God planted this Lily
in His own garden. Daily He
walks through His garden and
plucks His flowers one by one,
;The time came for the Lily.
She was next, and she was
ready for the Gardener to come
and pluck her. Several days
she laboured under the storms
of this life, while on the sick
'bed never to complain nor even
istrike. suffered as she ' did, God
saw fit and He did pick with
His own had this Lily. Sister
Yarbrough as we all know was
a woman of high esteem loved
by all whe knew her, always

““She leaves many loved ones
behind, mother, father, sisters,
brother, husband, relatives and
friends. Had she lived justa

been married nineteen years.
Together her and her husband
lived happily in an humble home
where Jesus was manifested.
Before leaving this world of sin
God used her to win for Him
her husband. For those who
are left behind once more we
would use another of Edgar
Guest’s poems.
; SEE IT THROUGH
When you’re up against a
trouble,
Meet it squarely, face to face,
Lift your chin and set your
shoulZers,
Plant your feet and take a
brace.
When its vain to try to dodge it,
Do the best that you can do,
You may fail, but you may
conquer,
See it through.
Black may be the clouds about
you
And your future may seem
grim,
But don’t let your nerve desert
you,
Keep yourself in fighting trim.
If the worst is bound to happen,
Spite of all that you can do,
Running from it will not save
you,
See it through!
Even Hope may seem but fatile
' When with troubles you’re
beset,
But remember you are facing
Just what other men have met.
You may fail, but fail still
~ fighting,
Don’t give up, whate’er you

Eyes front, head.high to the

See it through.

| The hospitrble home of Mrs.
John Rogers was the . seene of
Wmem
day afternoon, when the mem
bers of the P.-T. A. were
entertained with a Hallowe’en
party.
The guests assembled in the
living room and dining room,
which had been converted into
a rendezvous for the weird
spirits, the rooms being lighted
only by the flicker of Jack-o
lanterns, revealing ghosts, bats,
owls, black cats and witches.
Everybody entered into the
spirit of the ocassion and en
joyed the games and contests.
Prizes were given the winners
of the contests.
Refreshments, which attract
ively carried out the spirit of
the evening, were served ata
late hour. - I
About 40 guests enjoyed this
delightful affair, the hostesses
being Mesdames Jno. Rogers,
C. B. Collins, R. B. Williams,
M. Lynn, G. M. Quinn, W. H.
Hammock and Miss Mollie
Wells.
Next year we elect a repre-l
sentativ.e and vote for a Superior
Court. We rise to nominate
our present Representative for
re-election for two reasons:
first, we can’t beat him as an
able, efficient, experienced
representative, and second, to
eliminate a political squabble
in our peaceful little county.
Dr. O.J. Baggarly, Optome
trist of Atlanta, will be in Ha
zlehurst Wednesday, Nov. 13th,
at Collins Drug Co. If you are
in doubt- about your eyes eall,
and see him. He will make al
careful examination and fit you
with the proper glasses. ,One
day only.
