I just have word this morning
that the printer made an error
in the article about navy beans
written by DR.. ]. G. Whitten and
published in (Sam Jordan's Corn
Talk The error seems that
where the article mentions one
gallon of seed per acre it should
have read thirty or forty pounds
per acre. A letter to me states
that it was correctly written in
the manuscript but in setting
the article up the error occurred
and it was overlooked by the
proof reader.
/ hope that all who have re-
ceived the bulletin and are. in
tending to plant navy beans will
get the information about this
error before it is too late.
Very truly,
Sam Jordan.

William Zillman

Born in Brandenberg Germany
January l 1881 and emjgrating
with his family to this country
in 1861, first living in Chicago
and then coming to this county
ten years later, William Zillman
lived practically the whole of his
eventful life a useful and highly
respected American citizen.
With his wife he went to Chicago
four years ago to make his home
disposing OF his property near
Indian Grove after reaching an
age at which we are all entitled
to retire, the malady which end
ed his earthly eyiste, ce having
already made its appearance,
necesSitating withdrawal from
physical labor.
William Ziliman was married
at the city of his birth about the
year 1858 to Miss Dorothy Mas
and three children came to this
union before they moved to this
country. His widow and child

tona. MINI. surviving.
At their home in Chicago,
Tuesday morning at $3.50 the
aged man succumbed to the in
evitable and Wednesday was in
tered in Elliott Grove cemetery
at Brunswick, Rev. Srnlth>of the
Presbyterian Church conducting
services, the deceased being a
member of that church.
William Zillman first located
in this county near Zion church
but in 1876 bot and moved to the
farm near Indian Grove where
he lived the remainder of his
life Until going to Chicago.
Energetic, frugal and constant
in purpose, honest and prompt
in all business affairs, a highly
prized neighbor and friend, he
was successful and highly es-
teemed, and it was with genuine
regret that all who knew him
learned that he would retire from
business and leave the commun-
ity. His one great ambition
was realized in the education and
advancement of his children, all
of whom are prominent in their
respective callings. 1t is in this
regard that life finds it chief
success. after all.

STILL RAIDED

AS the result of some clever de-
tective work by the county's police,
IN Illicit still was raided on Christmas
eve near Dudley by Mr.. Jim T. Grant,
deputy sheriff, and Mr.. T. w. Gre
cory, magistrates constable.
A fine copper still with capacity
of about 40 gallons was taken and
two and one-half gallons of whiskey
found. Mr.. w. M. Rushing, on whose
place the still was being operated,
was placed under arrest and brought
to Chesterfield. He was later re-
leased on $500 cash bond.
Mr.. Grant said that it had been
known for some time that whiskey
was being made in that section of
the county but as little Of it was be-
20 sold in the neighborhood, it was
difficult to locate. 1t is said Mr.. Rush
,ng was disposing of large part of
ais product in Monroe, N. C.
When suspicion had narrowed
down to pretty well-defined area,
these two officers decided on sys-
tematic search Of that territory and
were not long in finding "a trail that
led them to the right place.
The still had been dismantled and
its various parts hidden about in the
woods, but careful search rewarded
The officers with the discovery of the
whole outfit.
