(City mxh County Mr. F. M. Mills, of Folkston, visited relatives and friends in this vicinity last Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. \V. M. Sumner are the proud parents of daughter number two. The Tribune con gratulates them. Mrs Anne Solomon, of near Am brose. spent the week end here with her brother. Mr. H. 11. Dick erson, and family. Mr. and Mrs- Simon Solomon, of Willacooehee, has been visiting friends and relatives in and around Pearson the past week. Mrs. Mary A. Ricketson left Friday morning for Orlando, Fla., and will spend some time, perhaps the winter, with her children, Mr. and Mrs. N. Reiger. Mrs. Lula Hilton returned to her home near Screven, Wayne county, last Saturday, after spend ing several days with friends and relatives in Pearson. Misses Doris Dickerson and Ola Mae Sears, and Elias Deen and Yancey Sears, who are attending school at Douglas, spent the week end with their parents. Quite a number of Pearson peo ple wont to yearly meeting at Mud Creek church last Sunday. Went to spend a few hours with relatives and friends in that vicinity. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Cowart, of Fairfax, Mrs. Martha Arnold and Mr. Holland, of Millwood, were pleasant visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Dickerson last Sunday. Miss Mary Etta James, who is attending school at Douglas, spent the week-end with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. ,J. W. James, in the southeast section of Atkinson county. Prof. N. A. Cox has been for the past month and is still teaching music classes in Ware county. The boys insist that he is in “bog heaven” for the time. All, well, maybe so! Mr. H. R. James, who bolds a responsible position at Waycross with the Atlantic Coast Line rail road, is a guest of his mother and sister at Hotel Malone. The Tri bune regrets that he is on the sick list. Young fall turnips are on the Pearson market and selling at 15c a very large bunch. A Mr. Cribb, an aged gentleman, who farms a short distance from the city', is furnishing them to the consumers, and they go like hot cakes. A gentleman and a lady of ele gant leisure came to the city one evening last week and, after sup ping at a restaurant, engaged separate rooms at Hotel Malone. The landlady smelt a rodent and imparted her suspicions to Marshal O’Steen. Sure enough, at mid night, the marshal found them oc cupying the same room, and in vited them to occupy separate rooms in the county jail, under criminal ■warrants. Mr. Nathan Posnick, who has been a clerk in the Boston Store for some time, has gone to a sani tarium in the mountains of North Carolina to be treated for incipient tubercular troubles. Judge M. A. Pafford tells the Tribune that he will be the princi pal of the Bethany school in the western part of Coffee county. This is a four teacher school, but he does not know who will be liis three assistant teachers. School begins on Monday, the 17th. Mrs. W. S. Sirmans, of Willis ton, Fla., was in the city last week visiting her sister, Mrs. John Meeks, and family. She spent Saturday and Sunday with rela tives down in the Mud Creek dis trict of Lanier county. Her friends and relatives were all pleased to meet her again. Only two weeks until the meet ing of the Smyrna Baytist Asso ciation with the Pearson Baptist church. It is devoutly wished that there will be a good represent ation from the churches, that the session will be harmonious, and that God’s name will be honored and glorified in the work accom plished. Members of the Atkinson Coun ty Co-operative Marketing Associ ation shipped a car load of sugar cane to New York last Tuesday. They received 3c per stalk f. o. b. Pearson. In future years much of the sugar cane crop will be mark eted in this way. It is said to be more remunerative than to manu facture it into syrup. The windstorm, passing over this section on Tuesday afternoon of last week, blew down quantities of sugar cane, breaking much of it off at the ground. The farmers had to care for this cane, so they are manufacturing it into syrup. The people of Atkinson county will now regale themselves at the breakfast table with “flapjacks” and new Georgia cane syrup. The Tribune was informed Sat urday afternoon that Warren Tan ner had made n second effort to escape from jail by means of a hack-saw he had gotten hold of in some way. The supposition is the instrument was conveyed to him secreted in some sugar cane sent him, it is said, by his mother. He had the hack saw, got it in some way, and was using it on the bars of his cell. Mr. W. R. Guthrie, a splendid Atkinson county farmer, was in the city Saturday and informed the Tribune editor that he was not only cutting down his cotton stalks but plowing them under deep. Let other farmers follow his example. It will do no harm if it does no good in destroying boll weevils, and the Tribune believes that it will do much toward the destruc tion of the pests. Miss Eugenia Allen returned Friday afternoon from Valdosta where she went to attend the funeral and interment of the last, surviving sister of the Editor’s mother, Miss Susannah Whitaker, who died suddenly on Tuesday night, in her 82nd year. The fiorai offerings at the funeral at tested the high esteem in which she was held by many Valdostans — her neighbors and friends. Prof. W. J. Cribb is principal of the Arnie School, and is assisted by Miss Edna Fedrick. Arnie is a good school, up on the Coffee county line. Patrons say the school has started off excellently: the faculty efficient and they are going to have a very successful term of school. The Tribune would be glad to hear from the school and section weekly—every Monday. Mr. R. H. Dickerson has been named by Gov. Hardwick a dele gate to the conference at Jackson ville, Fla., of the American Prison Association the latter part of the month. He will have to go with out charge to the state, but says he’s going and proposes to get all that’s coming to him in the pre mises. If there is any fun “Big Dick” will find it out and double discount his nearest competitor in the enjoyment. PEARSON TRI BI NE. PEARSON, GEORGIA, OCTOBER ?. 1921 Some Rattle Snake. Last Friday Mr. L. W. Mills, who lives on the old home place of his father, the late Benajah Mills, about four miles southeast of Pear son, was attracted by the continu ed barking of his fine young dog, Major, in the vicinity of his horse lot. On investigation lie found that tiie object of the dog’s attention was a large rattle snake, which lie immediately killed. His snake ship measured four feet and ten inches in length and was carrying fifteen rattles. You can safely affirm that my dog, Major, got a good supper that night. He had justly earned it. and Mr. Mills was never known to be cruel to animals. 666 cures Malarial Fever. Bazemore-Moore. A quiet wedding occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Wood ard. of Waycross, on last Saturday afternoon, October Ist. The bride was Miss Alice, the youngest daughter of Mr. R. L. Bazemore, and the groom was Mr. Walter Moore, of Hopkins. The bride was becomingly attired in a navy blue traveling suit. The happy couple left immediately after the ceremony for Jackson ville and other Florida points as a bridal trip. They will probably return to Hopkins where the groom is a trusted employee. The many friends of the bride in this community, who knew her as Miss Bazemore, join the Tribune in good wishes for the newly wed ded pair the greatest success in life. 666 cures Chills and Fever. Did Right Thing. Col. T. S. Winn, Pearson’s thoughful young attorney, at his own expense, has received from New York a crate of the sweet po tatoes which sold at $2 and $2.50 per bushel, while Atkinson county potatoes were selling at 70c per bushel, and seemed hard to dis pose of at that price. The potatoes in this crate is small and of a while variety, raised perhaps in New Jersey, Maryland or New York, and is a potato which northern people seem to prefer even at the difference in price. Col. Winn has placed them on ex hibition in Mr. J. M. Meek’s store where anyone can look at them at their leisure. Those who have looked at them instantly pro nounce them inferior to the Atkin son county yellow yam. But peo ple’s tastes and ideas are different. It is natural and possibly true that dealers boost their home grown potatoes to the exclusion of the Southern potato, and this may have something to do with the dis parity in prices. Here is a subject and an object lesson that should claim the earn est consideration of the Atkinson County Go-operative Marketing Association. Rub-My-Tism cures sores. Atkinson County’s Tax Roll. Tbo Tribune is indebted to Mr. J. W. Morris, who is assisting his father, Hon. Thomas Morris. Sr., [in getting the tax receipts ready for collecting the Atkinson county taxes, for the following summary of flic Atkinson county tax situation: Aggregate total taxa ble property $1,987,998.00 Tax rate 3.25 Total $04,609.93 Less inc. school tax 2,576.63 Total ain't, to collect... $62,033.30 This amount will be prorated be tween the county, school and State as follows: County Taxes $44,729.95 School Taxes 7,363.36 State Taxes 9,939.99 Total $62,033.30 These figures do not embrace the corporation taxes which the county and schools will receive direct from the Comptroller General, to whom all railroad and other corporation taxes are paid. Neither does it embrace the poll tax which is paid to the public school fund. MEETING AT UNION HILL Of South Georgia Association of Congregational Churches. The Congregational churches of South Goorgia held their annual Association at the Union Hill church, four miles southeast of Pearson, beginning Thursday of last week and lasting three days, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 29 to October 2. Mr. T. S. Gorbitt was chosen Moderator, and he presided over the deliberations of the body with ease and dignity. Rev. C. W. Rowland, of Mill wood, was chosen secretary. There were nine churches repre sented by delegates or ministers. Five churches was not represented in any way. Following is the list of delegates: New Light, Doerun —Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Smith, Otis King. Poplar Harbor, Doerun —Mrs. Gladys Abridge, Rev. T. L. Rich ter, Dewey Johnson and \Y. (i. Childs.

Solomon. Rev. J. F. Blackburn, of Atlanta, secretary of State Missions, was al so present. The entertainment was ample. There was more room than there was delegates ami visitors to oc cupy, which was somewhat dispa pointing to the hosts who had pre pared to cafe for the association. With the exception of Sunday dinner was served on the church grounds. ft was ample and all seemed to enjoy it. Sunday morning’s services was the best of all. The singing was unusually fine, with Mrs. L. W. Mills as organist. The sermon was by Rev. G. N. Smith, of Baxley. His theme was "Christ the Sinner’s Refuge.” Those who heard the sermon say it was most excellent and comforting. The next Association will be held with White Hill church. Ware county, in 1922. JJie inllucnee of the meeting at Union Hill was for good, and will lie lasting. 666 cures Bilious Fever. Prof. Sankey Booth, the princi pal, says the Pearson public school has now the largest attendance of students of its history. The num ber is near 250. The Tribune learns that Mrs. Levi Courson, Sr., was taken sud denly and desperately ill late Wednesday evening. Everybody hopes for her speedy recovery. Notwithstanding a number of Sheriff’s sales were advertised for the regular sales day —Tuesday— no sales were made. There was an intervention of some sort in every ease, but most of them were settled by payment. There seems to be a misunder standing as to the Jewish new year. Pearson's Hebrew citizens will observe next Wednesday as their new year holiday. Both Messrs. Passon and Cohen will close their places of business on that day. Savannah’s large Hebrew contingent observed Monday, Oc tober 3rd, as New Year. Are Pearson ladies thinking of voting at the municipal election in December? If they want to vote they must make themselves eligi ble by complying with the condi lions of the enabling act of 1921, which provides the qualifications of female voters. A mayor and. two councilmen will have to be elected on the second Tuesday in December, the regular time for holding the election, and one of the City qualifications is they must be qualified to vote for a member of the General Assembly.
