S1e2 IN BUTTER FAT

Tenants who are engaged in dairying are
getting $lo2 year in butter fat from each
acre OF alfalfa on the Fair Ranch, and then
they have II 800 pounds of skim milk for their
hogs You can make more money from alfalfa,
cows and hogs on the Fair Ranch than from
any other land in California. On the Fair Ranch
you have no cost in preparing the land for
alfalfa; you have no water charges, the soil IS
right, the amount of moisture is perfect. double
sized crops are sure. Is not that the kind Of
farming you want?

Gets PENSION FOR
zELLA R. KILN Err
Congressman Tavenner Sue
ceeds in Measure for War
Veterans Dependent.

The omnibus bill passed by the ma
tionaI house of representatives Dec. II
carried with it pension for leila
Ruby Kilmer of Rock Island of $12 per
month.
leila is the daughter of Mrs. James
Willis, who lives at 1929 Sixth avenue,
and she has been helpless since birth.
Jeremia G. Kilmer, a Civil war veteran.
was her father. He deserted her and
her mother when leila was little
child. and nothing has been heard of
him since except through the pension
department, which claims he has been
dead for several years.
For the care of such dependents
there is no provision made by the
state, and the Associated Charities
was of the opinion that either the state
or the federal government should
make some provision by law for leila,
and so took the matter up with Con-
gresham Clyde H. Tavenner and ask
ed ii he could get u bill through grant
ing her a pension. This the congress
man succeeded in doing.
The case, which has been heretofore
described, is "A distressingly sad one.

DEATH OF MRS MALLARD.

Mrs. Charles Screven Mallard died
at her home in Darien, Ca, October
8, 1918. She was the daughter of
Mr.. Norman Page Gignilliat and his
wife, Charlotte Trezevant, and was
born on the 21st day of May, 1S45,
at Windy Hill, her fathers country
home, five miles from Darien.
Mrs, Mallard is remembered in Ma
rietta as Miss Minna Gignilliat, hav-
ing resided here from 1866 until Oc-
tober 81, 1875, when she married
Mr.. Mallard ard returned to her ma
tive county to live.
She had been sick for some months
and, while her loved ones knew from
the nature of the disease she was
doomed, no one realized her end was
so near.
Miss Minna Gignilliat united with
the Baptist Church April II, 1860,
thus giving her life and services to
God in her youth
Many still living in Marietta re-
member how she nursed the sick,
visited those in affliction, taught in
the Sunday school, loved her church
and attended its services. Promi-
nent men still living here and else
where have testified to her influence
over them for good
After her marriage she went to
reside on her husbands plantation,
which adjoined that of her father, to
which many of the old slaves had re-
turned. How good she was to them !
The sick blessed her for her kind
ness. Freedom to the young negroes
was a blessing-to the old, calam-
ity.
Mrs. Mallard leaves her devoted
husband, one daughter, Mrs. j. Howe,
and son, Mr.. Charles Screven NAL
lard, Jr.; sister, Mrs. Margaret
Holmes, and three brothers, Mr.. G.
