Gihson, Ga., March 1, 1933 GOVERNOR MATTHEW TOLBOT WAS CHIEF EXU UTIVE FOR ONLY 13 DAYS (By Lawson E. Thompson Washington, Ga.) Matthew Tolbot, Wilkes coun ty farmer, holds the distinction uf being the chief executive of Georgia for the shortest periol of time of any of the long and distinguished line to hold the office of governor. Histories tell us very little of this man but public records and tradition toupled with the histories reveal ihe fact that he was quite a dis tinguished man. born in Governor Tolbot was Virginia in 1767 and moved to Georgia in 1785, settling in Wilkes county. The next year he became a Captain in the Geor gia Militia, which office he held under Colonel Dooley and later under Colonel Graves, both dis tinguished military heroes. He served in the militia for several years, the exact length of time being unknown, but it is certain that it was more than six years. There is no accurate record to show when he went to Elbert county, but the records show that he held the office of County Clerk of Elbert about ftv a months in 1790 and 1791. H o resigned lhis office and the next year became a Justice of the Peace in Wilkes county, and Ihen in 1793 he resigned this of llce to become county surveyor of Wilkes county. There is no record to show how long he held this office, but in 1795 he was a delegate to a Constitutional Convention as a representative from Oglethorpe county. He must not have lived in Ogle thorpe county very long for in 1798 he was again a delegate to a Constitutional Convention but this time he was representing Wilkes county. Following this he became a State Senator from Wilkes from 1799 to 1803. He was in retire ment until 1808, when he was again elected to the State Senate serving continuously until 1822. Six of these years he was presi dent of the Senate, and it was during one of these six years that he was president of the Senate that he became governor. On October 24th, 1819, Governor William Rabun died and Mat thew Tolbot succeeded to the governor’s chair. He served only until November 5th, a pe riol of thirteen days. He died in 1827 at the age of sixty years. Though a native of Virginia this adopted Georgian held public office in Georgia for The practically his entire adult life. records of Wilkes county show- that he was the owner of large tracts of land and was one of the county’s foremost citizens and farmers. He belonged to that class of slave owners who formed the upper class in the ante helium days. He died on his farm about ten miles from Washington and was buried at Smyrna Methodist church nearby. A simple stone marks the last resting place of this unusual man. Here his re mains have slept peacefully for more than a century freed from all mortal cares. Stamp, for Reparation. One of the most valuable stamp col lections In Ihe world was assembled by (fount Philip von Ferrari, duke of Galliera. Of unlimited resources, he roamed the world for single specimen*.

Enthusiasm for this type of materials extends eve,t into cottons. Many resort costumes are be log made of them. For party frociis the quilted or puffed taffetas and satins are particularly attractive.

Unfortunate Chick. At Altoona, I’a., two bantam chicks starved to death because they were unable to cat as a pigeon does—from the mouth of the mother. The ban tam eggs were hatched by a pigeon along with a number of pigeon eggs. The mother pigeon accorded her mixed brood the same treatment, feed ing all with her bill. The ptgeona thrived, but the chicks, unable to fake food from the bird's mouth, died. Hi. Fieri Skirmish Dick--When I proposed to Grace she asked me If I was a recruit.
