Catee chee, S. G., Oct. 6, 1908.
On last Thursday night, just as
the clock Was striking eight, the
death angel came into our midst and
claimed for one of its jewels Mis-.
Matte I. Hudson, the dearly beloved
wife Of j. R. Rogers. Though Mrs
Rogers had been in i'll health for sew
eral days, no ono believed that the
end was so near until just q few min
utes before she breathed her last.
The deceased was consistent Nom.
Der of the Methodist church for sev-
eral years prior to her death, and her
daily walk showed that she was a
christian in heart. Being called
hcmo i'll the prime of life, (33 years
DID, showed that God had q sacrod
place for her to fill. She leaves a
husband and five children, besides a
dear mother, brothers and sisters
and scores Of friends to mourn hor
loss. But dear relatives and friends
weep not as those weep that have no
hope, but look upon High and be.
lieve that she is there I ho burying
took place at Camp Creek church on
Saturday following her death, Rev.
j. B. Trammel conducting The funer-
al o6sequies.
Mrs. Lawson, of Georgia, is visit
ing the family of w. S. Durham near
this place.
Mrs. d. J. Prince is visiting rela-
tiyes in Grcenville this week. Dave
looks mighty lonesome under the hill
by hir self, and says he just can't
cook, even if he had the time. Poor
fellow, [ know he has been hungry
several times this week. Mr.. Prince
is tho Electrician at the Norris Mill,
and has the lonosomest place to stay
this side Of the Ozark House" on
CLASSY Mountain. He is about one
mile and a half from the mill, taking
it around tho road. But neverthe.
less, Mr.. Prince likes bis position
liue--seems to enjoy it land certain
ly he is the man for that place. Mr..
Prince has had charge Of the plant
about eighteen months and hasn't
lost u day.
Well, we see that some man, (be
IS from the North, 1 believe,) has
gullibility enough to whoop up q
large cotton crop for this year; H..
100000 bales. Poor fellow, if ho
was coso enough we would send
Sheriff Mcdaniel after him, have him
brought before Judge Newbery and
see what is the matter with his top
story. If he has got anything at
stake on that lie will be like the fell
low was that wanted to be buried
asleep, (not dead,) SO he could wake
up in heaven. So the poor fellow
went to sleep before he prayed and
they buried him according to his re-
quest, When ho woke up ho was in
different country to what he Thought
he would be. After looking around
awhile and viewing the situation he
exclaimed: "Great God! if I had
known this [ would have played shut
mouth"
1t takes eleven and n half million
bales to supply tho mills. So you
see even if there should be, (but
there will not be this year,) eleven
million bales made there would still
be scarcity Of half million bales.
There can never TO an over. plus of
cotton any more until a thirteen
million bale crop is made. The man
that can hold his cotton until next
spring will get fifteen cents per
pound for it,
If some one will tell us where our
County Commissioners are buried
we will take tho money that has been
paid in on some of the roads and buy
them head rocks. 1t hasn't been
used on the roads and why not use
it that way. Is.
