4 Wonderful People, who Settled in
Georpia in 1874

In I733-34 a Protestant community
were driven out of Salzburg, Austria, in
a religious persecution. The Duke of
Savoy drove them out in the winter OF
1884. There were not lesshhan 25,-
600 of these eXiled Salsburgers-me
women and children. \ great many of
them settled in Germany. This move
ment took place during the time OF
American colonization. England being
q Protestant nation and wishing to pro-
cure good settlers for General Ogle-
thorpe's colony in Georgia. became in
terested About fifty families accepted
the English offer and landed in SaNan-
nah March II, 1874. Later on, other
families came over to join them Cen
eraI Oglethorper was naturally delight
ed He helped them to select site
and bestowed many favors on the exiles
At the junction of the two Ebenezer
creeks they set up a stone and called
il "Ebanezer" The location was not
good, not healthful: there was much
sickness With General Oglethorpe's
consent they moved to another place
called New Ebenezer located on the Sa-
vannah river, six miles away. The new
town was laid out like Savannah and
soon had 500 inhabitants. They were
then mostly silk-raisers. They Guilt
waited Indian corn and also raised IN
digo They believed in education. They
made good schoolmasters as well as
preachers As early as 1876 they built
what was perhaps the first orphans
home ever established in America. They
also used the orphans home as a place
of worship in those early days, until
they built a fine brick church In
.1767-69. -...
The brick for those walls were made
near by and we were told they can be
seen runtil the present time-in the
church. Jerusalem church-thus erect
ed by the SaIsburghers had some rough
days. British troops occupied it dur
ing the war of the American revolution.
General Sherman went over IT in the
Civil war, but those brick walls made
by those men and women exiles still
survived.
We have been a very neglectful peo-
pie as to keeping up our records in
Georgia There seems to be revival
of siaterest in these later days. Tween

How They Renovate Wounded Soldiers
in England
Great Britain cares for her blinded
soldiers and sailors at st. Dunstan's
hospital, where an American congress
man saw them. There were $50 of
those unfOrtunaJes in the hospital when
he visited it. This place is owned by
a rich New Yorker who gave the use
of his English home for this purpose
during the war. These men are taught
useful occupations. They are taught
shorthand writing, telephone operating.
shoe repairing, mat and basket making.
joinery, gardening. poultry raising AMI
massage.
They have foremen with eyesight, but
much of thejnstruction is given by the
totally blind. Il.
He went into London hospitals where
the human wreckage of war was repair
ed He said: "Some men come in with
out arms, without legs, some blind, some
so. shattered in their heads and bodies
that it seems impossible to do anything
to repair their pitiful condition. l have
seen men with parts of their jaw frac-
tured, others with nose and cheeks lac
Grated by shell pieces. In restoring
these wounds, where the bone has been
shot away, they take piece of a rio
of a wounded man to replace the loss.
If this is impracticable, they take the
rib from a sister or brother or some
near relative. l saw one of these men
after he had been treated for several
months They showed me picture OF
him taken the day he was received.
The change was almost unbelievable.
His nose. cheek and one-half of the jaw
was blown away. There was still
frightful scar when l saw him, but he
was able to use his jaw you or l. He
said he now suffered no pain. One
young fellow was buried four hours by
a shell explosion along the Somme. HIS
broken body had been rebuilt He was
bright and cheerful. l asked him how
he felt. oh, I'm feeling fine. There
are better days ahead.
This was Shepherds hospital in Lon
don. and there were 1900 patients undef
treatment The American congressman
were given a lunch in the great mess
hall at Shepherds Bush hospital that
day when a band of these armless and
legless men, played Star Spangled Ban
ner" in honor of the occasion.
They were making the wooden legs
that were used in the British hospital
and made out of American willow. This
great hospital he said was right in the
heart of London, and the men at work
were former soldiers who had been
wounded and were repaired. They teach
these men carpentry, and repairing au-
tomobiles. making woOdenware, screws
and such like. 1t is a wonderful story
told by these congressman after they
reached Washington City.

Judging from the description given
IN your letter, your COW is probably
suffering from an attack of actinomyco-
sis OF course il is possible to confuse
this disease with some other trouble
due to some injury to the mouth or the
teeth. For instance, a nail sometimes
becomes imbedded in the mouth or jaw
You should examine the mouth care
fully and il it seems free from injury
and if the swelling is well below the
Jaw bone. you may be quite sure that
your COW has what is known as acti-
nomycosis or lump jaw
This is not an uncommon disease and
il is due to a fungus which gains en-
trance to the tissues and finally works
it's way down into them and produces
a lump or tumor, varying greatly in
size. When a tumor of this character is
free from the bone the best treatment
is to cut it out with a knife and then
cauterize the wound with a hot iron.
If il can not be removed from its at
, 8chment, due TO the fact that 1t forms

All. rations, as you know are based on

The grain ration should be increased or

of clean, bright hay or other long fod-
der is essential. Work stock require
about IL to IA pounds of roughage per

out the ration you feed each day
Kudzu is a vine which is claimed can
be used for grazing purposes to some ad-
vantage. 1t lives over from year to,
year. 1t can be planted on thin, poor
land and will eventually cover it up.
We have grown it on the college farm
for several years past. 1t has not done
much as yet. 1t takes longer to estab-
lish itself than many have claimed il
would do. We are not disposed to rec
