FORESTRY SPECIALIST VISITS
THOMSON.
Mr. DuPre Barret, forestry special
ist of the College of Agriculture,
was in Thomson Thursday. In com
pany with Mr. G. C. Daniel, county
agent, they motored over parts of
the county looking over prospective
reforestration areas. Mr. Barret
pointed out the necessity of tree
farming in Georgia and emphasized
the fact that unless steps were taken
to preserve our young forests from
insect and fire ravages that within
seven years at the rate of cutting
now going on in Georgia, we would
be a treeless state with no prospects
for lumber in the future.
Those wanting information on log
ging, sales, estimation of timber, re
setting of trees, fire damage or insect
control, should write to Mr. Barret
at the College of Agriculture, Athens,
Ga., and he will be glad to help you
solve your timber problems.

IN MEMORIAM.
All nature was smiling gloriously,
giving promise of a ripe and plente
ous summer when suddenly a life so
full of all that was highest and pur
est in young womanhood holding out
the richest promises of future ful
fillment was suddenly snatched away,
leaving darkness and desolation,
such as only the blightning blackness
of the icy breath of death can give.
On July 3rd, 1924, Miss Carwee
Hayes, full of all that makes noble
womanhood, fell by one of those un
accountable accidents which fate so
often allows to rob us of our dear
ones.
We knew her by her thoughtful
ness for others, and her charming
hospitality. Many are sad; many
will miss her; voices are mute as the
loss sustained is realized.
She worked quietly, capably with
modesty and unassuming manner.
She was Thomson’s own, her native
home, here she lived, and loved, ami
wrought, building her own monument
love. Her bequest to her many
friends is an influence that lives on
to keep and bless.
They tell us she has left us,
Oh, yes, it may be so,
But there is no place in Heaven or
space
Where the trice love can go.
It will follow on forever,
As the surging ocean waves
Sing to the shores their lullaby,
And sound in the silent graves.
Oh, yes, she’s gone,
She’s gone before us,
Freed from sin and this world’s strife.
Oh, yes, we think He took her early,
Snatched from us this sweet young
life.
Many a heart will miss her,
Miss the smile of her sweet face,
Yet we call her back, no never,
From that glorious Heavenly place.
