Mr.. George w. Bass died at his
home near the Sardis Baptist church
Monday night at 2 80 o'clock after a
long illness from heart trouble.
Terrell county never had better
citizen than was Mr.. Bass, and the

his countless friends throughout the

happy disposition, and it seemed that
his mission was to scatter sunshine
wherever he went.
Mr.. Bass was 81 years of age at
the time of his death, and had
for long time been consistent
and loyal member of the Sardis Bap-
fist church, and his loss will be felt
especially in the community with
which he has so long been identified.
The funeral will occur at Sardis
church this (Tuesday) afternoon at
5 o'clock, which will be conducted
by his old pastor and friend, Rev. M.
B. L. Binion.
Mr.. Bass is survived by his wife
and five children, Fred Bass of Biz
mingham, Ala, Eugene Bass, Mrs. W.
E. Hickey and Miss Hattie Belle Bass
of Albany, and Miss Nettie Bass OF
Sardis, and to these the sincere SYM
pathy Of many friends is extended.

lum at MilIedgeviIle.

Wash Jordan, the negro man who
after beating up his wife gave Sher-
iff Turner's bloodhounds several in
teresting chases before he was finally
landed in Jail, has been adjudged in
sane. During the recent term of SUI
perior court several efforts were made
to carry him into court, but he be-
came so violent that Judge Worrill
instructed the officers not to bring
him into court. The lunacy trial was
heard before Ordinary Hoyl Monday
morning, and he will be sent to the
asylum as soon as he can be admitted.

DISCUSSED APPROPRIATION
BUT ACTION WAS NOT TAKEN
Commissioners Did Not Decide to
Spend 500 to Advertise County.


Spend 500 to Advertise County.
At the monthly meeting of the
board the county commissioners dis
cussed the proposed appropriation
by the county for the purpose of adj
vertising it's resources in 'Facts
About Georgia" which is to be pub
lished under the direction of the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce. At
recent meeting of the city council
that body voted to appropriate $500
for a page in the publication with the
provision that the county commits
sioners make a similar appropria-
ton. 1t is not known what action
the commissioners will take, but it is
doubtful if the appropriation will be
made.
An effort is being made by those
interested in advertising the county's
resources to raise the necessary sum
by private subscription, and about
$65 has already been subscribed.

SOIL BUILDING.

A farmers institute is to be held in
Terrell county on Thursday, June 20

lines of farming than raising cotton.
Advance announcements sent out
out from the State College of Agri-
culture at Athens state that these adj
dresse will be plain, practical, help

ers about their problems. They will
be here for one day. The meeting
place will be designated in next

formation from high class men who
not only have broad fund of infor-
nation but definite data on Geor-
gia conditions which has been worked
out in experiments in this state. How
to improve soils, how to grow various
crops for this purpose, how to start
in livestock, poultry, trucking, etc,
will be discussed.
Let the farmers of this region show
their pragressiveness by turning out
to the institute and getting all the
information possible from these ex-
perts.

GRAVES WANTS
BRICK SCHOOL HOUSE
Subscriptions Being Solicited Among
People to Build Commodious
Temple of Learning.

Patrons and friends of the Graves
school have put a movement on foot
to build handsome new brick school
house to accommodate the pupils OF
that community.
1t is proposed to build a structure
costing about $4,000, and quite a
nice sum has already been subscrib-
ed. The amount collected will proba-
bly, be augmented by an appropria-
ton from the county school board.
Graves is situated in one of the
most prosperous and thickly inhabited
sections of Terrell county, and the
school at that place has an average
attendance of more than a hundred
pupils. The building now used as a
school is inadequate and the children
are crowded together so closely that
successful teaching is almost impos-
sible. With the exception of proper
quarters Graves now has one of the
best schools in the county, and there
is no reason why the people of that
community should not be provided
with comfortable and well equipped
school building. The News hopes that
the promoters of the new school
building will be successful in their
efforts.
