WHITELY WILLIFORD IS TO
HANG.
All That Remains Now is For
Judge Spence to Re-Sen
tence Him.
The Supreme Court has sus¬
tained the verdict of the jury in
Mitchell Superior Court, in which
they found Whitely Williford
guilty of murder for the killing
of Mr. Harmon West, and while
the sentence of the court has
been delayed for a time by the
able efforts of the lawyers for the
defense, yet the Supreme Court
has determined, after mature de
liberation, that the decision of the
lower court was a just one, and
that it shall stand.
The only thing that now re¬
mains is for Judge Spence to re¬
sentence Williford and that said
sentence be executed by the
Sheriff, but the Judge
not decided yet when this shall
be.

It has never been a great task
for any of our one horse farmers
to produce more than he could
gather without hired help, con¬
sequently his full producing ca¬
pacity has never been tried. With
improved machinery employed in
both producing and gathering a
crop, verily two blades of grass
can be made to grow where only
one has grown heretofore, and
what is true of the grass is appli¬
cable to corn, cotton and other
farm products as well.
State Sohool Commissioner W.
B. Merritt has just issued a cir¬
cular letter to the county school
superintendents of the state in
which he calls attention to sever
al matters of interest and impor¬
tance, among other things the
preparations that are being made
for the celebration of Arbor Day
by all the schools of the state on
December 2. Attention is also
called to the fact that the next
regular examination of applicants
for license to teach in the schools
of the state will be held in each
county December 16 and 17.
Baconton Items.
Winter is on, and with her bit¬
ter fangs she bites. She is mak¬
ing many changes, and is cor¬
dially received, although she
kept several from attending the
Sunday schools last Sunday. The
Leaguers in spite of all her growls
and bites attended the League
and were wrapped up in the inter¬
esting program offered by Mr. J.
S. Miller. The afternoon was
turned over to the married mem¬
bers and through taithful efforts
they managed it successfully.
The weather being so bitter and
the church without heating ap
paratus, prayer meeting was

but that the bride has chosen well,

complished daughter, and we
know that Mr. Brooks has won
a worthy bride. Mr. and Mrs.
Brooks, let Baconton congratu¬

It has become necessary that
the boys and girls be the young
men and women of early tomor¬

young men and women are wed¬
ding very fast, therefore getting
older.
