dress. OF course our friend, Aunt
Susan, enjoyed the day very much,
as it had been a year and a half
since she had had the privilege and
pleasure of attending worship at the
church of her belief and choice. She
says even the name of Primitive
Baptist is dear to her heart, as it
recalls days of yore, for on the sixth
day of August in the year 1854 she
was united in happy matrimony to
the Rev. E. P Blackshear, who for
many years lived the life of faith
full and loyal minister in the PRINT
tive church. But on January the
10th, 1888, while performing the
solemniZation of matrimOny between
James White and Della Anderson
the message came that summoned
him home to glory, where he waits
for friends and loved ones left be-
hind. Some twenty-five years ago
he was SIS years of age. Aunt Su-
san has been a consistent member of
the Primitive church for fifty years,
and says it is the sweetest home on
earth to her. She is now nearly in the
last stage of life, as she is seventy
six years old. She has moved only four
times in her life, yet she has lived
in eight different counties. She was
reared in Houston county, which af-
forwards formed part of Macon coun-
ty. Then she moved to Stewart
county, and in after years was cut
off and Webster county formed,
which at length was changed to
Kichafoonee county. She then went
to Lee county, and Terrell was form
ed; later to Brooks county and al
forwards to Thomas county, where
she has resided for some years and
intends to spend her remaining days.
She is the mother of four living sons
, and one daughter: Messrs. w. >.
Blackshear of Rochelle, Ca, Miles
Blackshear of Dawson, Ga, I. +.
Blackshear of Merrillville, Ca, Joe
Blackshear of Bannockburn, Ga,
Miss Jennie, the only living girl, re-
mains with her mother, caring for
her during her declining years.
Aunt Susan's life has been a bene-
diction to many. She is always
blithesome in the home after minis
tering unto others when she should
have attention herself. Reader,
feel that we should take her as an
example and follow Christ as she
hath followed. l have never seen
lovelier character at the end of the
earthly mission than she is today. We
can hurl back into the teeth of un-
belief all such announcements, for
Christ hath said: He that believeth
on me, though he were dead, yet
shall live" She will still live in
the memory, minds and hearts Of no.
BILE men and women who she has
| influenced to a sweeter and happier
life. and wave a temporary farewell
until we meet in the golden city of
God among the smiles and glorified
ones in the land of bliss where the
streets are Of Jasper. I am sure she
will go, for there is a Friend that
sticketh closer than a brother.

Leg Saved By Baking and Freezing

DR.. Sullivan SAID he believed he
could save the limb. AS amputation
in Carpenters condition was most
precarious, the inferno was allowed
to take the case.
DR.. Sullivan baked" Carpenters
leg in heat from $50 to 200 degrees
to induce rush of blood to the limb.
He then plunged it into an ammonia
ice tank to drive the blood out quick
ly and carry away The impurities
which mad caused modification. The
treatment proved effective, and early
in April Carpenter could use his Les
with the aid of crutches. Last night
he took a long walk without the
crutches. His leg will soon be nor
NAL.

From the New York Herald
After experienced physicians had
declared that even amputation of a
leg might not save the life of Police
man Coles Carpenter, and a priest
had been summoned to administer
the last rites of the church, DR.. Ray
mond Sullivan, young inferno in
st. Mary's Hospital, succeeded by
the alternate baking and freezing
process, in saving Carpenters life
and leg.
While stepping from a car last
July Carpenter fell on a rusty nail,
wounding his right leg. Modification
set in, and last December it was de-
cided amputation was necessary.

BIG MONEY IN BROOM CORN.
Million and a Half Paid for Output
of Oklahoma and Texas.

Million and Half Paid for Output
of Oklahoma and Texas.
One million and a half dollars is
estimated as having been paid for
the broom-corn crop of western Ok
lahoma and the Panhandle of Tex
as in 1907.
Nearly 1900 cars of the brush
were shipped away from that section
of the country last season. These fig
ures become more striking when it
must be considered that the broom
corn industry in that section of the
country is comparatively of a few
years work.
The output, however, is merely a
part of the crop of each farmer who
has contributed to the total Few
farmers plant very large acreage of
broom corn on account of the work
of curing the crop. Small fields which
they can care for without very much
inconvenience turn out a higher pro-
portion of profit.
The broom-corn acreage of the
next season will equal that of last
year.
