The Macon ice plant has been playing
in hard luck this week. It's misfor-

valve blew out and the machinery had
to be closed down for t~hirty-six hours.
West Point had had the same kind of
a breakdown in its factory, only worse,
and was taking all the ice Columbus
had spare. Meridian was also shorten

suffer, Mr.. Winn had to purchase a car

Mr.. Geooge Gousset of Washington.
Adams county, has been in the county
this week on a visit to relatives. Ad-
ans was the first county in the state
to suffer from the boil weevil and her
yield dropped from $4,000 and 80, 600
average to 1900, due, to a great extent.
to The fact that a good portion of the
farming is done by renters, much more
so than in this county, and it goes with
out saying that boil weevil and absen-
tee la%ndlordism spells Certain Failure.
Mr.. Gousset says that where crops are
worked under the directions laid down
by the agricultural department cotton
can be raised profitably and that he has
a neighbor who made Is bales on Is
ceres, and that without and specia, eff
fort or unusual condition.

Gertrude B~rantley Dent.

On February 9Th, 1913, a baby girl
was born to Mr.. and Mrs. Leon Dent;
on June 9Th she was christened Ger
trude Brantley by Rev. N. G. Augustus;
on June 18th she passed away, and her
little body was laid to rest June 10Th in
the Odd Fellows cemetery at Macon.
These facts would seem to comprise
the history of the dear little baby. But
the fulness of this brief life could not
be measured because of the countless
joys that little Gertrude brought into
the lives of others. For this "fow'ret
crushed in the bud" this bright and
gentle daughter, was to the household
that she came to bless "the sweetest
thing that eve grew beside a human
door," Her happy face brought smiles
to burdened hearts and her babyhood
and love brought cheer and pleasure in
to her home.
The absence of her sweet face has
left a void that is untold in the lives of
the broken hearted parents. But in
their grief for the loss of this precious
one and in the giving up of this promis-
ing young life, they must remember
that
When the morn came dim and sad
And her quiet eyelids closed she had

years to securing shelter for poor

serting that the community was re-
sponsible for the inability Of his
proteges to find lodging within their

This time he had rare good luck.
Count Antoine de la Rochefoucauld,
desiring to live permanently in the
country, sought to cancel his lease Of
an aristocratic mansion on the Boule-
ward Lannes. AS the lease had year
and a half still to run, the landlord
refused. The count thereupon offered
M. Cochon the use Of the mansion, and
the energetic secretary Immediately in
stalled eight homeless families. The
landlord was furious and took the case
to court, where he secured an order
of eviction on the ground that the
count did not have the right TO invite
