Miss Jennie Pinckard who was
at the advanced age of 95 years,
passed peacefully away at her home
last Friday morning of heart dropsy.
She was the last surviving member
of a family of thirteen children.
Her parents settled the farm where
she died, when the Indians
inhabited this country. She had
been remarkably stout physically,
had strong mind and retained
her mental faculties up until just
before her spirit winged its flight to
the God who gave it. In her fee
bleness she was cared for by her
neice, Mrs. Joseph Adair, who, with
her husband, had been very kind
and considerate. The interment
was in Mars Hill Cemetery, Satur-
day afternoon, with only a song
and prayer, as had been her
request. Rev. G.. S. Bond con-

The Singing Sunday was a great
success. At least a thousand peo-
pie were present, all enjoying them
selves, mixing and mingling with
old friends and acquaintance.
Everybody had a most delightful
day. The singing was just extra
good. Four choirs entered the con-
test, County Line, New Salem,
Rose Lane and Sardis. On account
of funeral, Sardis choir failed to
come. New Salem won the banner,
followed closely by County Line
choir. Miss Lille Pitner, of the
County Line choir, with Messrs.
Daniel and Pierce, If Atlanta, sang
beautifully in the afternoon. The
Cobb County Singing Association
was permanently organized, with
Mr.. Higdon, of the Salem choir,
President. He never seems hap
pier than when at big singing.
We extend a cordial welcome for
this association to meet here next
year and wish to return thanks and
appreciation for the good behavior
and conduct of the large crowd
here last Sunday. Gypsy.

ssry. Even though this were the fault of
the clerks themselves, the result Of their
follies and extravagances and nisfor-
tunes for which no ono else wac to blame.
the government cannot justify its failure
to insure itself a humane and at the
same time efficient mode of maintaining
the standard Of performance by pointing
to the improvidence of its employees.
Even though the clerks pay scale had
been rcadjusted within recent years and
corresponded to the modern cost Of living
which is not the case. 1t is unbusiness-
like for the government to rely upon the
thrift and forethought and long continued
sacrifices Of it's workers to fund them tor

separation from the service. and these
would remain. blocking promotions. low
ering the standard of competence. VIZ
tually objects of charity on the part of
the chiefs and Secretaries.
The only way to solve this problem is
for the government to apply to the clFii
service the principles that 1t has from
the beginning applied to the judiciary and
the military and naval services. Pre-
ciseIy the same reasons urge the one as
Justify the other. The government re-
tires its judges when they have reached
a certain age in order to assure them
OF an honora BILE livelihood after t.iey
have given their undivided services to the
country, and TO permit them to retire
when age has enfeebled them physically,
and perhaps mentally. and thus make
room for younger and more vigorous and
efficient jurists. In the army and the
navy retirements are necessary To pre-
serve the proper standard of physical tit
ness and the government regards the
money spent in maintaining the retired
lists as an investment in efficiency. There
is no thought of gratitude toward men
who may have served throughout then
lives in the army or the navy IN Time
OF peace. They are retired. not in reward
for their sacrifices their heroism. their
sailors in the hours of the country's stress
and need. but solely to keep the army
and the navy tit and ready.
Just So for It's own sake. should the
government look at its civil service with
the eye of business and provide for cier-
ical retirements in some form or another,
because IL needs to build up system
OF departmental service on Il high plane
of business efficiency.
