LEESBURG "A TOWN WITH
OUT A PREACHER

From the Leesburg Journal:
There is probably no other
town in Georgia as large as Lees
burg which cannot claim a preach
er. There is probably no other
county in the South as thickly
populated as Lee which can claim
as few. Is it any wonder that we
have a bad name as community
or a county? We support the
families of preachers who will
take out money and spend Sun
day with us, but had a little rath-
er live elsewhere. This has been
the case for many years. Do we
not want the restraining influen-
&c OF a pastor? Is there no need
TOR him except as preacher?
When Our loved ones die we must
send tor minister instead of hav-
ing him visit and comfort our
sick. When there is to be a we'd
ding the couple must either leave
their home and church or send
away for representative of the
church of God to perform the
ceremony, The town is amply
able to afford this necessity. And
we should be ashamed to raise
children who are strangers to
their pastor or i'll at ease in his
presence.

DISCUSS CITY FARM
Question As To Source OF ltevenue
For Purchase Is Worrying Council
Committee.

At the meeting of the Finance Com.
mittee on Monday night, the question
of the purchase OF a farm for the CITY
may be discussed. and it is probable
that a date will be fixed to hear from
citizens as to the location and cost of
such a farm.
The committee has resolution
from the Committee on Utilities
recommending the Newstead farm.
eight miles down James River, at the
cost of about $4,000. The Finance
Committee has been directed by Coun-
ell to look into the matter and IL
feasible and practicable to devise some
way by which the proposed sum of
money may be raised.
The members of the committee have
expressed themselves as favaroole to
the city ownership of a farm. Some
Of them favor the Newstead farm,
while others think the price too steep
for a farm for the purpose designed.
They would prefer cheaper Farm,
which might be improved and made
more valuable later.
All societies and organizations In the
city have advocated the purchase of a
farm. to be used for jail prisoners, de-
relict children, tubucular patients.
etc, to be eventually made self-sup-
porting.
The Administrative Board has sux-
gested that the money for the pur-
chase of the farm can be had through

but there Is some opposition to tho
sale of this farm at this time. on the
ground that its value will be more

Louis Casari, who shot and killed

found guilty of manslaughter by the
jury in Henrtco Court. and Judge r.
Carter Scott sentenced him to one year
in the penitentiary.

Road. 1t is said that disagreement
had existed for some time between the
two men, and that Yop had been told
by Casar not to come to his home.
When Yop disregarded> Casarfs ad-
vice and did visit his home. he came
In threatening attitude, which re-
suited in a quarrel. during which
Casari used his gun In self-defense.
Evidence was introduced to show
that Casari had made advances to the
wife of Yop, thus giving Yop reason
for his attack on Casari. The jury was
inclined to the belief that Yop had
been killed In self-defeuse, but on ac-
count of the charges of assault brought
against Casari, found. him guilty of
manslaughter. with the minimum SEN

A Notable Record OF Virginia Negro.
mot many weeks ago Virginia
negro died at Tuskegee. Alabama. He
had received his training in an ex-
cellent Virginia home. There he had
learned TO believe in the white race
and their devoted care for those of
his own race. Coming from the Goa!
mines Of West Virginia, Booker Wash
ington worked his way through the
Hampton Institute. Here in the city
of Richmond, he secured money by
loading vessel SO that ne might
make his way to Hampton Large
gatherings have been held In his men,

A few weeks ago In the city of New
York Hon. Seth Low. president OF
the Chamber of Commerce and former
mayor OF New York, presided at n
meeting in memory of DR.. Washing
ton. from which thousands were turned
away on account of lack of room in
Carnegie Hall. Three men from the
North and from the South told the
meaning of the wonderful life that
this black man had lived. Col Henry

There has just gone from Virginia
to the Tuskegee Institute to succeed
DR.. Booker r. Washington, another
black son of Virginia. Robert r. Mo-

home the training which enabled him
to succeed Booker Washington in the

There were certain characteristics
which belonged to both these men for
which their early home training was
largely responsible. Closely connected
with DR.. Washington's faith was his
love for men, his love for animals.
his love for nature. Although Book
err Washington was born n slave, he
received the highest honors which any
country can bestow and yet he never
once lost his humility His whole life
was giving OF himself to his people.
