NETT lowers, the only son of Mr.. w. p,
lowers of Webster and one of the most
prominent and successful young phys
icians of south Georgia. DR.. lowers
died at Charming, TexaF, on Monday.
Scarcely two weeks ago he left Amer

of health. being afflicted with severe
pulmonary trouble.
Upon arrival at Charming he decided
to make short stay, that being some
thing of health resort. But he was
unable later to resume his journey
death coming on the date stated.
DIR. lowers was young man of high
est attainments and life seemed to have
much in store for him. He graduated
with distinction from Tulane Universe
ty in New Orleans, and for EeYera
years successfully engaged in practice
there, amassing competency.
Climatic conditions, however, induc-
ed him to return here.
For some time he has been at "
fathers plantation home in Webster
but recently decided to go to New Mex
leo in search of health. His sad death
far from home and loved once, is the
more deplored. A bright career indeed
has been brought to sudden close.
DR.. lowers sister, Mrs. King Still
man of Atlanta, left yesterday for Chan
ming, Tex to bring the body home fol
interment, returning the latter part o
the K. He will be buried at Preston

Crop This Year Will Be Best in Long
Time.
The melon crop will be an excellent
one this season. The acreage shows a
large increase over last year, and men
who have information from the melon
raising district and those who have
travelled through it state that the out
look is for large crop.
I'll watermelon acreage this season
in the section reached by the Central
of Georgia r aliwAy, according to re-
ports gathered by that system, is folly

The last years acreage in the same
territory was 1925. showing the in
crease this year to be 074 acres, or
over % per cent. 1t Is believed that
this increase will be practically the
same in the watermelon raising terri
tory of other lines.
The Central will issue soon it's annual

close Of the old year, however, Mr..
Smith suddenly deserted the republi-
cans aud returned to his own party,
assisting them in naming the city
officers which they did last week. 1t
is the general opinion that the failure
to ppoint Mr.. Smith on any OF the
committees is the result of his change

only other democratic member, giving
