Mcßryde, one of Vidalia’s best known and most jMghly respected citizens, passed away in death at his home here Saturday night, about 10 o’clock, after suffering for some time rfrom. an attack of grippe which 'brought on other complications. Mr. Mcßryde was one of the pioneer citizens of Vidalia, the town having been built near his rfarin, where he had resided many years before the town was .started. He was sixty-four years old and no man in this sec tion was better known or more highly respected. His friends were legion and his death occa sioned much sorrow and regret. Mr. Mcßrytie’s parents were among the early Scotch settlers of this section and, consequently, he leaves a large family connect ion, besides many friends, to mourn his death. Os his imme diate family he leaves a wife, one daughter, Mrs. V. B. Herring, and two sons, Messrs. W. J. and D. W. Mcßryde, all of this city. A large concourse of sorrow ing friends attended the burial, which occurred at the new ceme tery Sunday afternoon. The funeral services were conducted at the grave by Rev. J. A. Du mas, pastor of the Vidalia Bap tist church. We extend condo lence to the bereaved family.

An Early Oat Crop. Dr. John M. Meadows, who is one of the county's most pr g es sive farmers besides being a successful physician, began har vesting his oat crop last Monday. Despite the fact that the crop matured several days before the usual time in this section, it is said that the yield will be not less than fifty bushels per acre. All small grain as well as corn can be successfully grown in Toombs county and our farmers are beginning to learn that diver sified cyjps is the proper method of farming in this section.
