Postmaster II. b. Carver received
the following letter today:
Can you give me any information
concerning my father, Hugo Smith!
When last heard of he was at Fulton,
Mo. Ii Won can tell me anything OF
him or his relatives the information
will be thankfully received There
was something peculiar about him,
His voice ranged from the lowest tao
the highest itch. Please reply at
once Mrs. w. A. King, Marble Okla.
Smith came to Fulton many years
ago. He was man of frugal habits
and retired disposition He com-
menced to farm and worked hard. Tie
confided in no one and his past was
as a closed book. Everyone in Fulton
supposed he was a bachelor He was
eccentric to the extreme. He settled
on q farm near Fulton He died sud
denly in October. 1909 AS nothing
was known Of his relatives his estate
was placed in the hands of the public
administrator. 1t proved to be worth
about 100000
His farm was rented out and Smith
had almost been forgotten by Fulton
people. one day there was a new turn
Of affairs. Wyatt j. Smith Of Lynch
burg, Va, filed suit in the circuit
court to recover the estate, claiming
the dead man was his uncle. An at
torney was sent to his home in Lynch
burg, where deposition was taken
The case came up at the December
term of the Galloway county circuit
court and the claims of Wyatt mith
seemed substantial enough to entitle
him to the property and ii was tuued
over TO him.
Among the many pecuharities Of the
cid man the most pronounced was his
voice, the kind thdt ranges mp and
down and cannot be controlled, caus-
ing one word 10 be spoken almost in a

this peculiar voice that Wyatt Smi,A
was able to establish his claim.
Hugh Smith, it is said, was born in
Tennessee, but spent his early life in
Virginia, remaining in the Old Domin-
fon until 1868. He was of a family OF
one daughter and two sons. His sis
ter. Barbra Smith, died without heirs,

country's production to over two hun

es the phenomenal production of 9th

of the year. The production in Kan
sas continued to decline in tendency
to the increased drilling in Oklahoma
due to the slightly better prices, nuei
discouraged by the severe drollgtts

the total productions for the Mid
Continent field increased to over fif
ty-three million barrels.

The result of judicious advertising,

ment of four hundred handsome suits.

which enabled him to offer the lot ut
the uniform price of $3.50 And did
the ladies' sit up and take notice?
By S o'clock the big store was a vertt-
able bee hive. the scene surprising
even an embroidery rush Such was
the demand for the tailored suits that
more than two hundred had been sold
before 10 O'Clock, many buyers taking
two to four suits each, while one
lady bought six for herself and friends
She rejoiced at getting $50 and $40
suits at the beginning of real colo
weather at the price of $3.50, and laiC
in a supply. The entire stock of 400

likely, and Manager Warlick is, yer,

STOCK RAISERS TO Hold
THEIR ANNUAL Meeting
Interesting Discussions viii
Be Heard.

The time is rapidly approaching for
the annual meeting Of the Georgia
Dairy and Live Stock Association,
which will be held in Athens on Jan
uary 10th and 18th. 1912. at the Agri-
cultural college. From the daily in
terest that is being manifested in the
meeting. it appears that this is going
to be very largely attended from ev-
cry section of the state.
On January 18th, the day after the
live stock meeting, the Georgia Breed
ers' Association convenes in the same
place. On the 18th and 18th the State
Horticultural Society will be in con
vention With all these meetings be-
ing held at the same place, it is not
surprising that those interested in
any phase of agricultural work are
planning to go TO Athens one the
9Th. 18th and 18th of January.
A new feature will be introduced in
the live stock meeting this year. Cham
J pions of the leading dairy breeds have
prepared able papers setting forth
the advantages of the respective breeds
of cattle for economy in producing
milk and butter under Georgia condi-
tons. After these papers are read
every dairyman will be expected tC
give his experience and opinion. This
will bring out all the points of merit
and demerit in Jerseys, GuerRseys and
Holsteins. Every delegate at the con-
vention will go home with full know
ledge of which of these great dairy
breeds have made the most money fol
Georgia farmers, under varying condi
tions What has been true with the
leading dairymen will be true witt
the smaller operators. and no one own
ing a COW can afford to miss this par
of the program.
A similar discussion will be- taker
up with hogs. For number of years
Berkshires have been the principa
breed of improved hogs in Georgia
Have the farmers been wise in pin
ming their faith to this breed? Oh
will some other breed make a pounC
of pork for less cost? Nine cent cot
ton is making farmers think No farm
er wants to give two pounds of cottol
for one pound of pork. If he is goinl
to produce his own pork, he shoult
do it with the breed of hogs that viii
give him the most pounds at smalles
cost. He can get this information b
attending the Georgia Dairy and LiV
Stock meeting.
There will be many other attractiv
features in this years program, alon
the lines of beef production and hors
and mule breeding.

modations secured in advance by writ

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

Catarrh is a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you
mist take internal remedies. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not
quack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years and is a regular pre-
scription. 1t is composed of the best
tonics known, combined with the best
blood purifiers, acting directly on the
