She wa. the mother Of Mr.. A. M. Howell.

Mrs. Mollie Rylander Howell pass
eel peacefully away at 4o'clock July
30 at the residence Of her daughter,
Mrs. G. r. Whitley, with whom she
had long resided. The announce
ment Of the death Of this aged and
beloved woman will cause sorrow
among a very wide circle of relatives
and friends in Sumter county, where
she had resided so long and was es-
teemed among all for her many
Christian virtues.
Mrs HoSell's health had been
impaired for some time, and her
death caused little surprise to those
near and dear to her.
The deceased was in her 10Th
year, and the greater portion Of her
long and useful life had been spent
in this community. For many years
the family, prior to the death Of
her husband, resided near Plains,
and in that community as in A.
mericus, she was beloved among a
wide circle Of friends.
Besides large family connection
Mrs. Howell is survived by five
daughters, Mrs. G. R, Whitley, Of
Americas; Mrs. A. B. Hawkes., o.
Molona; Mrs. ]. A. Kirvin, Of Co
lumbus; Mrs. ] J. Cobb, Of Cobb;
Mrs. M. d. Hanna, Of Atlanta.
Three sons, Mes,rs. Ed h. Stewart,
Of Plains; J. e. Howell, of La
Grange and A. M. Howell, Of Lees
burg, survive her.
One sister, Mrs. George w. Sir
rine, of GreensYille, $. c., and a
sister-in-law, Mrs. A. e. Rylander,
Of Americas, were among those near
and dear to her.
The funeral services were held
that afternoon at 4o'clock from the
Whitley residence on Taylor streets
conducted by Rev. w. G. Glenn,
pastor Of the Methodist church at
Plains, Of which Mrs. Howell had
during many gears been faithful
eulsaaa-A---@e4-..
and consistent member.

judge Nash Broyles' Elec-
tion is Assured.

When it was announced that all
three of the candidates to succeed
Judge T.. S. Roam Of the state court
of appeals were from Atlanta, the
people of Georgia and especially the
lawyers, were greatly interested as to
which one would get the support OF
his home attorneys.
When it became known that 80
per cent Of Il e At anita Bar had
strongly endorsed the candidacy Of
Judge Nash r. Broyles, his friends
throughout the state were highly
gratifed, for they realized that the
b st judges Of a mans character
and abilities were his own home
folks his neighbors and daily as
sociates.
In addition to this Judge Broyles
has the SUPPORT Of a great majority
of the other judges and lawyers
throughout the state. Then, it is
understood that the people general
ly are for him because Of his firm
stand for law enforcement and
against trivial thchnicalities which
50 often defeat the ends Of justice.
Well posted politicians predict
that he will be an easy winner.

all the seed corn Jllat you se'eeC
from your acre if you will manage
it right. There are hundreds Of
dollars spent every year in this
county for seed corn that Is not
near as good as you can furnish the
farmers. So let's not injure it by
pulling the fodder and later on |
will help yon select all you want to
plant and sell another year.
If you have not sent in your re-

away. Every boy who finishes will
get prize, regardless of how small
his yield is. Don't be a gutter

Dear Corr Club Melnber::

Dear corn CIuO NIeItl1eI,
Fodder pulling timeis drawing
near and as | viii he en- furlough
during the month of August, ! take
this means Of urging you not to pull
the fodder off your corn. Your
yield will be determined by the
weight of your corn and by pulling
the folder you will decrease this
from 5per cent to 25per cent and Of
course you don't want this to be the
case. You can't pull the fodder at
any stage nithoutinjuring your corn
to. d certain extent. There is also
an other good reason why you
should not pull the fodder. From
your acre of corn we want to field
se'ect the corn that we plant another
year. and pulling the fodder will
decrease the quality to a great ex-
