Tribute to Alfred Butler By
sss; lis Pastor 3 Z Z !!

Mr.. Editor: Please allow me
space in your paper to speak of the
life of Brother Alfred Butler, who
was consistent member of the
Shaw's Greek Baptist church for
many years. He was an honest,
truthful man. If he was one of them
that the Saviour give two talents,
he worked faithfully with them by
laying a good example for others. /
will say to them, as Solomon,
Mark the perfect man and behold
the upright, for thefend of that man
is peace" He lived with royal
family for more than forty years
and served them faithfully until
death. Their hearts wept at his de-
parture, which tells me if all my
race would live the life of this good
brother, honest and true to their OBJ
legation, we would always find a
warm place in the hearts of the best
white people. If we had world of
such men, we would. not have any
use for a jail and we could afford to
kill all the blood hounds. He told
me that he was over eighty years
old. He departed this life on the
first day of May, 1910, and his re-
mains were laid to rest at Macedonia
Baptist church in the town of Edge
field, the funeral service conducted
by me, the pastor Of said church,
Rev. Carson and Rev. G.. A. Nor.
gan. There were present on this oc-
casion a host of white friends and
also colored friends who came to
pay the last tribute of respect to
this good, faithful servant. Mrs.
Minis presided at the organ. She
has served the white Baptist church
for many years and from what |
can understand will be there
until her departure to better place.
Ny text Matthew 25th chapter and
21st verse: "Well done thou good
and faithful servant" His society,
the Mutual Aid, carried out their
obligation faithfully to him and laid
him to rest. Sleep on brother and
take your rest!

A Powerful Weapon.

They were examining an old-fash-

says The Youths Companion. It
looked as if it would be an effective
weapon against anything short of
an elephant, and its owner was
boasting with that scorn of fact
which is allowed the successful hun
ter of its power.
Doesn't it kick like anything?"
asked one.
"oh, yes, it kicks some,' said the
proprietor, but that's the beauty of
it. Why, once I shot at grizzly

Two Deaths sadden Communi-
ty, Business of Bank Con-
tinues to Grow, Heavy
Wind and Hail.

During the past week two homes
in our community have been sad
dened by the hand of death.
On Monday last Benjamin Stevens
the infant child of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
D. Holland died in Augusta where
he had been carried to be operated
upon. The little fellow was nine
months old and a very bright baby.
To the grief sticken parents we Of
fer our profoundest sympathy.
The other death, that of Mrs.
Elizabeth Belts, occurred on Fri
day morning. Mrs. Belts was
eighty years old. Her death comes
as shock to the community as it
had hardly been known that she
was sick until we were informed of
her death. The funeral services
took place at Ebenezer on Saturday
afternoon. The sorrowing crowd
that witnessed this last sad rite in a
measure bespoke the esteem in
which she was held.
We failed to get our letter in last
week and we must ask indulgence
should our notes be out of date.
The business of our bank has
grown so much that the directors
found it necessary to give some
help to the Cashier. Willie Roper
was selected for the position. We
understand he will enter upon his
duties the first. of September.
Miss Louise Lorick, one of our
Trenton girls who now lives in
Crescent City, Fla, is visiting her
aunt, Mrs. E. L. Posey.
A very severe hail storm, accom-
panied with wind, passed through
the eastern part of our community
last Wednesday. Not a great deal
of damage was done, but farther on
towards Philippi it was SO heavy
that entire crops of cotton will have
to be replanted: The Clubhouse of
Mr.. Lewis Holmes was demolished
by the storm. iai

CLARK's HILL FRUIT.
Large Orchards Produce Peach
es of Superior Quality. Let
tuce, Strawberries and
Tomatoes Grown.


Hills fruit growers, was in town
Friday and while in conversation
with him, The Advertiser man OBJ
tained much interesting information
concerning fruit growing in that
section. The soil or atmospheric
conditions seem to be peculiarly
adapted to growing peaches of
very superior quality. This natural
advantage seems to have been dis.
covered by the late Robert II Mid
dleton thirty or more years ago.
Within recent years peaches have
been grown for the market upon a
large scale. Clark's Hill's peach or
chards now cover an area Of nearly
600 acres. Among the largest grow
ers are: w. M. Rowland, $50 acres;
w. S. Middleton, 100 acres; Jack
Cranston, 80 acres; H. E. Bunch,
80 acres, R. H. Middleton, 80 acres;
J. p. Nixon, rs acres; w. FL. Ryan,
80 acres; L. 6. Bell, 80 acres.
When the shipping season is at
its height from one to two solid
cars of peaches are shipped each
day, which is equivalent to from
1000 to 1000 crates. Despite the
mountain-like hills \that aid in re-
sisting cold, Clark's Hill peaches
were quite seriously injured this
year by frost about the time the
blooms fell. This, however, will not
materially reduce the quantity of
fruit shipped this year, as the young,
incoming orchards will make up
the loss sustained by the old trees.
Lettuce, strawberries and toma-
toes are also grown quite largely.
The leading lettuce growers are S.
T. Adams, L. G., Bell and R. H.
Middleton. trawberries are grown
by L. g. Bell, S. T. Adams, Fl. E..
Bunch, Rich Bros. and w. II. Ry-
an, each of whom ships upon an
average about 100 crates every sea-
son. Lettuce and strawberries have
both been seriously injured this
year by the prolonged drought.
Much Of the lettuce ran up to seed
before heading, While the berries
are smaller than usual, with marked
80 ! -.
decrease in the yield. L. 6. Bell, S.
T. Adams and Mr.. Ryan also grow
tomatoes for market.
AS a result of. successful and
profitable fruit growing, land in and
around Clark's Hill has increased
in value from so to 100 per cent
within the last few years. Hill-sides
that are almost perpendicular, too
steep to cultivate the ordinary field
crops, produce peaches that are su-
perior in flavor to those grown in
the famous peach belt of Georgia.
Several cars that were shippid by
Mr.. w. s. Middleton last year COM
manded higher prices than any
other peaches shipped through the
Georgia Fruit Exchange.
Having been repeatedly invited to
visit Clark's Hill by some of the
peach "barons," The Advertiser
man expects to go over there when
the Elberta season is on. Then we
will tell our readers more about
Clark,,s Hill fruit the proof of
the pRdding being in the eating"

That the identity of tie mother who
abandoned her three-weeks-old baby boy

Sunday night at a hospital Of which the
name has not yet been divulged by the
police. She declined to give her name or
address, but was so evidently in need OF
medical attention that she was taken in
and physician called.
As an attache of the hospital staff. Dr.
