SIXTY nOZEN EGGS

BUYER GOT THREE HUNDRED
DOZEN ON VISIT To TH.a-

That eggs are one of the big pro-
ducts Of the farmers of this county
has been demonstrated during the
past two or three weeks by the enor-,
nous receipts at the produce houses.
1t is big money crop as shown by
the experience of one Inherent egg
buyer in the Culleoka section, john
Gregg. On his trip recently Mr..
Gregg visited only thirteen farm
houses and bought 300 dozen eggs
At one house he purchased sixty-two
dozen eggs, the vintage Of only one
week. He paid this one farmers
wife more than $1,000 for the crop of
her industrious hens in seven days.
He bought an average of nearly
twenty-five dozen, or almost $500
worth, at every home that he visit
ed. And doubtless others have had
a similar experience.

the Circles Of the County.

With a large attendance from over
the county and many distinguished
visitors and state officers present, the
county convention Of the Kings
Daughters held on Tuesday at the
First Methodist church was one Of
the most enthusiastic ever held by
that organization.
The feature Of the meeting was an
able and eloquent address by Mrs.
Frank F. Everett. the head OF the or
ganization in the county, who grace
fully presided at the meeting. Mrs.
Everett also submitted a report on
the expenditures on account Of the
new hospital. Mrs. Everett spoke as
follow:
sour hearts are so filled with
Thanksgiving today that words come
slowly to our lips, our thoughts lake
shape in broken phrases. For today
we see our dream fulfilled, our ideal
visualized; our hospital on yoader
hill is butt of brick and stone, and no
longer such stuff as dreams are made
of excepting always the great dy-
manic element of faith, which must
perforce underlie all structures, be
they dream or material.
I'VE can listen to the echoes, real
echoes, of footsteps down the halls,
not the silent tread Of hopes football.
We can look through our easements
upon the wonderful hills, and trace
the sunbeams, real sunbeams, as they
play hide and seek upon our floors
and walls, and each time we enter,
the windows seem wider, the doors
broader, the sunshine brighter, and
we can say with the apostle Of old.
1t is good indeed to be here Such
is woman's nature, God given, that
she soon forgets the travail and the
pain, for JOY that new life has come
into the world.
80, though the discouragements
have been many, the burdens heavy,
almost into the shadows we have
gone, but now we can only feel JOY
inexpressible, and thanksgiving be-
yond words, that new force has
come into our being. healing force
that God grant may mean the giving
of sound bodies and rested minds,
back to the family and community,
with renewed strength of soul and
body to fight afresh life's battle.
"The hospital to us, is not thing
of lifeless brick and mortar and cold
stone; Oh, no! 1t is warm, living,
pulsing life; it was conceived OF our
desire to minister where we knew the
