Of 1872 and another ancestor in the

the Loyal Woman's Monument Associa-
ton is Of interest at this time.
Mrs. Gambee, as a young girl during
the civil war. lived in Milwaukee. Wis.
and saw many of the soldiers on their
ed out of service. Some Of the men
were too i'll to go any farther, Scurvey
had broken out among them. and there
was q hurry call for vegetables, and
the young girls who had scraped lint
and rolled bandages as an aid society
during the war, with Mrs. Gambee as
their president, were again set to work.
The young president volunteered to go
beg for vegetables to make the food
which the sore mouths Of the soldiers
demanded.
The snow was still deep in that part
woman set out on her long walk, and
did not rest until she had been prom
ised all the required food.
Recognition for Women.
Some time after the close of the war
Mrs. Gambee thought that the women
who had borne such a heroic, part in
the struggle should have some recog-
milton, and. consulting with others. an
organization sprang into existence, and
the dues accumulated, while they
anxiously looked forward to the gov
ernment's granting them permission to
place their monument in Chickamauga
National Park. The association was in
corporated under the laws of Tonnes
see land is still hoping to see its monu-
ment erected on southern soil.

patriotic project, and is member OF
the Woman's Relief Corps and the Ma
tional Association of Patriotic Instruc-
tors. Her home Is in CHATTANOOGA
Her husband enlisted in the 1O4th

SUMTER SENDS
CARLOAD HOGS
PACKING PLAN
SHOULD HAVE SUCH An
ENTERPRISE AS MOULTRIE

Since Sumter county has joined the
"live-at-home" column of prosperous
south Georgia counties and is raising
in large part the grain and meat con-
sumed here, the importance Of having
packing plant becomes daily more
and more apparent. Why ship hogs
from this county to Moultrie, to be
slaughtered at the modern packing
plant in that progressive town, when
they might be disposed of similarly
right here.
Only day or two ago a solid carload
of fine fat porkers, raised on Sumter
county farms, was shipped to the
Moultrie plant. Why not utilize such
Georgia products" here?
Sumter farmers are thoroughly alive
to the Importance of raising meat and
grain. Every farmer this year has a
meat supply, greater or less, and will
have much more next season. Every
farmer, too is going to make his
bread as well as meat this year, as evil
denced by the fourishing fields of
wheat and rye, oats and corn Hog and
hominy is going to be the slogan in
Sumter in the future.
The majority of the farmers are
rapidly abandoning the scrub stock
and are getting pure-bred hogs for
their herds as they have found they
cannot fatten the piney woods rooter
and as market proposition he is not
profitable.
Brooks county still holds her laurels
as the greatest bacon-producing coun-
ty in Georgia. Well posted farmers
say the number of hogs in the county
has been greatly increased this past
winter and there is more cured meat
on hand for market than ever before
in the history of the county.
Last year Brooks county marketed
over 100000 pounds of cured bacon in
Quitman. This year the amount will
run considerably over that, although
statistics from the shippers will not
be available until the season is over
this spring.

Is. The plentiful fruit harvest this

IA Vegetables, especially aspar-
agus, should be used in quantity dur

Is. Coffee, tea and cocoa are still
available in suficiency and at moder-

soon be restricted, and for that reason
they should be prepared more weakly,
and with more sugar.
Spices must be used sparingly. even
though there is plenty of salt at hand.
II. OF alcoholic beverages there is
sufficiency in the country; neverthe-
less in war time their use should be
tempered.
IS. All remnants of food and kitch-
en- scraps must be carefully saved for
use in feeding the cattle.
10. Fat should be used spariagly in
cooking; lard should be supplemented
by kidney-fat, beef-tallow and other

The provisions were consigned to

Chicago, Feb. 20-"Say," said
William Sullivan of 461l West Har-

mad chicken"
"Gwan, quit your kidding" said
voice in reply.
An investigation showed that Sui
Ivan knew what he was talking
about. The chicken died today in
the pound. 1t suffered from hydro
phobia in an acute form. The fowl
was bitten eight days ago by a dog
supposed to have had rabies.
The fowl also attacked about %
other chickens. These will all be
killed.
The fowl was owned by William
Gardner. who lives at 1909 West Har-
rison street.
