let's try on your new frock."
A light f1ickered up in The Little
Maids eyes and frightened her waxen

call.
She responded eagerly to the finery.
Now recite Little Orphan Annie"
The-Mother-of-One invited the Little
Maid when she was all decked out in
her filmy lace, and the child, respond
ing to the pride in her mothers voice,
lisped the lines of the poem, embel-
fishing it with many bodily contor-
tions and much uplifting of the eyes
that looked like veritable moons in
the wan little face.

gested the baby, when she was at the
end of Little Orphan Annie"

1t was pretty enough, the twirling
little figure in the soft lace frock, but
The-Mother-of-Five lost interest in the
intricate steps through the pictures
which kept crowding into her mind
of the round, rosy-faced children she
had seen in her walk of the afternoon,
dancing the mad dance of the winter
wind as they had romped in the open
air.
At 1880 in the evening-when The
Five were all sound asleep in their
cOzy beds-The Mother-of-Five and
her John passed the home of The Lit
tie Maid. The parlors were ablaze
with light and filed with guests. The
Little Maid was quite ready for heI
evening performance, and The-Mother
of-One was proudly showing off hel
tricks, and the little lace dress.
Returning from some calls at 10:3(
The-Mother-of-Five and her Johr

When they had slipped into their seats
and their eyes had become accus

that they sat beside The-Mother-of

Margaret did her dance just beau

Maid proudly to The-Mother-of-Five
"She was so tired that thought
would just drop in here for a littl

NEW ROADWAY is ONE
OF COUNTY'S FINEST

|
Already the MANY automobiles
who travel along the Andersonville-
Thomasyille highway are making
a speedway out Of the new road that
has been constructed from the
postoffice at Leesburg southwark
for about mile. This is the last
link in the Andersonville- Thomas
vile highway in Lee county, and
the work upon it has been done
exceedingly well.
Stretching from the heart of
Leesburg, the new road, which
takes the place of one that was
rather sandy and otherwise UNI
desirable, goes southwark as
straight as an arrow to join the
other portion Of the road to the
Doughevty county line. This other
poftlon q the road mad long ago
been worked and made an excellent
highway, 50 that now the roadway
to Albany is unsurpassed by any
in the state.
On account Of the fact that it has
just been completed and has recent
" been scraped several times in or
der to give i a smooth surface, th,
new road is bit dusty now. AZ
ter one or two good rains. however,
this Objectionable feature will be
practically eliminated. The large
number Of tourists and travellers
passing through Leesburg have
nothing but the highest praise for,
the road since it has been com
pIeted.

PREPARING FOR OPENING
or The COTTON SEASON
COMMISSIONER PRICE
SAYS CROP BADLY HURT

Based upon numerous reports
reaching the State Department Of
Agriculture, as well as upon per-
sonal observation, Commissioner j..
D. Price estim ates the present con-
dition Of the Georgia crop at APP
proximately go per cent Of what
it was at this time last year.
Three factors have combined, the
Commissioner points out, to cause
decreased yield: The known re-
duction in acreage, the use of less
fertilizers by approximately AZ per
cent.eand the extreme dought which
has effected most Of the cotton
growing section Of the state for sew
eral weeks past. Unless weather
conditions change materially within
the next thirty days, he states,
there cannot possibly be any inn
provement. The time is short, and
any change to be effective must
come quickly.
| am reliably informed, !" states
Commissioner Price, that Texas
cannot make over 5000, 900 bales. ],
There is every evidence that with
the known crop shortage and condi-
ton, the price Of cotton this fall
should be good, bringing the pur-
chaser q substantial return. The
one uncertainty is the English
blockade situation. Ii we could
count upon its settlement favorably
to us, by the time the new crop be-
gins to move, everything would be
in splendid shape for the marketing
of the coming crop at a fair price.
Unfortunately we cannot count on
that and must plan to protect our.
selves accordingly.
Georgia will have a splendid
corn crop this fall, Notwithstanding
the drought has materially injured
the prospects we once had, besides
more food and foodstuffs grown at
home than ever before. From that
standpoint, she is better prepared
than ever to take care of the cotton
situation, whatever may happen.
1.-The really serious problem is
making adequate and satisfactory
arrangements for financing the crop.
The producer will naturally be cal
led upon to meet his obligations,
and in the majority Of cases he is
relying upon his cotton to take care
Of them. The result is he must
either sell at prevailing market
rates, or borrow sufficient upon his
crop to satisfy his creditors, and
hold it until the market is clear
and the price is right
The later plan is, Of course,
the best. But to make it effective
we must have satisfactory and
negotiable form Of cotton RECEIPT.
Georgia banks are abundantly
willing to lend the money, if they
can be given assurance Of protection.

have recently benin annual session

Georgia, Alabama and South Caro-

opinion that the coming fall holds
out splendid prospect despite the
war, and that people III this section
are going to be in better shape than
they have been for years because
they have done more toward raising
their own food and foodstuffs and
have only gone lightly in debt.

S. D. WHEAT CROP
GOVERNMENT REPORT INDI-
GATES A PRODUCTION OF
45,O0O,O 900 BUSHELS.

Pierre. June 14.-An increase OF
so per cent in the wheat crop OF
South Dakota is indicated by the gov
eminent crop report for June.
According to this report. the con
dition of spring wheat in South Da-
kota is the best of any of the three
great spring wheat states of the
middle west. The condition in Min
nesota and North Dakota is given al
"a per cent of normal, while that in
South Dakota is SO per cent. This
is almost a perfect record up to date,
The acreage in South Dakota sown
to spring wheat is given as 3,672,000.
The condition is 2 per cen better
than it was last year. The prospec-
tive yield of approximately IL bush
els per acre would produce a total
Of $500, 600 bushels, as compared
with 30,600,0 600 produced in this
state in 1914. If this harvest is re-
allied, ii will mean more than 49,
600, 900 additional income to the
state from its wheat crop than for
the 1914 output of this grain because
the present outlook is for a consid-
erably higher price than was received
on the average last year. The acre
age sown to wheat in this state this
year is s per cent larger than that
of last year.
The indications are of a repetition
Of the big oats crop harvested in this
state last year. The final figure for
1914 was 4~4.165,000 bushels. and
this year the outlook is for a total
of As, 600 bushels. The acreage
in oats increased l per cent this
year in South Dakota, the area being
1925 600 acres.
The condition of the oats crop in
South Dakota is given as "a per cent
of normal, which is the 10-year av-
erage. The acreage sown to barley
decreased 5 per cent in South Dakota
this year, undoubtedly because of the
high price of wheat. The condition
of barley in the June report is 80 per
rem of normal. as compared with a
10-year average of 90 per cent. With
an acreage of S0S.000 acres. the
prospect is for a production of IL
100, 600 bushels. as compared with
19.55O.0 900 bushels in 1914.
The June report contains no refer
ence to the corr crop. The condi-
tions over the state, however, have
been generally favorable for corn.
Notwithstanding some delay in plant
ing on account of wet weather. The
ground is so thoroughly soaked that
il is expected the corn will make up
by fast growth for the lost time in
planting.
Altogether the prospect is splen-
did for the whole state.

PATRICK Koran
PIONEER CITIZEN DIED AT THE
FAMILY HOME YESTER-
DAY MORNING.

Patrick Koran. aged 67 years,
died at the family farm home ten
miles northeast of Madison yesterday
morning after being confined to his
bed six weeks, suffering from cancer
of the stomach. Deceased is survived
by widow. one son and four daugh-
ters-James, Alice, Katie, Lucy,
Agnes. 1t is somewhat remarkable
that Mrs. Koran is one of five sis
ters widowed, one of whom buried
her husband about two months ago.
Patrick Koran took up his home in
Lake county more than thirty years
ago. He prospered in his undertak-
ings and built up a fine farming es-
adjustment, settling on a govern
ment land claim which he developed
into profitable fertility. Personally.
deceased was a splendid neighbor,
generous almost to a fault, and ii is
remarked that he would leave his
own work at any time to accommo-
date a neighbor if necessity required
He frequently visited the city in the
transaction of his business IN which
he was scrupulously honest. His man.
ner was kindly and mild, and many
old settlers who have enjoyed his ae-
quaintance throughout the years will
read of his passing away with sorrow.
The funeral will be held from the
Badus Catholic church tomorrow
morning at 1920 o'clock.
