OBITUARY - MRS. LEE

On Tuesday afternoon, about 4:3O
P. NJ, Mrs. Eliza A. Lee died at the
home of her son, Dick Lee on East
Pine Street. She had been in Door
health for some time, so that her end
came unexpected.
She was born at Marion, Ohio on
Nov. 9th, 1889. Had she lived for a
few weeks longer she would have been
81 years old. The family moved to
Iowa in 1856, she was united to Mr.
Furman D. Lee. To this union were
born two sons, Clarence and Dick,
who survive her also a number OF
grand children. Mr. Lee, her husband
predeceased her by s years.
Mrs. Lee was one of the early COL
onists, coming with her husband and
family in 1895. She was interested
in everything that tended to help and
build up Fitzgerald.
Lately all her thoughts were given
up to the next world. She wanted
home, she said. She was a devout
member of the First Methodist
Church Tor many years, and leaves
many friends, besides her immediate
family to mourn her loss.

''HOME WOMAN" IS
REGISTERING FAST
Last Two Days See Total Wom-
an Registration Go to So
MOST GIVE EXACT AGE
Six Registrars Are Over Sew
enty; AZ Are "Housekeepers"

1t the force of the woman vote
is to be exerted in any one partic-
ular direction in Ben Hill county !,
Will be for the home, it is assured bv
the registration figures to date. Oi
the tifty-six registered forty-two are
home women, according to the &C.
equations noted on the registration
slips. House keeper" is the pre-
vailing occupation Five business
women have registered, INCLUDING.
three farmers, or farmerettes. Eight
professional women have registered
mostly teachers.
While specific age has not been
demanded of the registrants bv Tax
Collector Fred Graham, thirty-three
ladies have boldly set down the ex-
act hgures, completely exploding the
theory that all women over twenty
one are ashamed of it. The others
nave registered "over twenty-one."
A feature of the registration is a
halt dozen who have passed the mark
OF three score and ten. These moth
ers and grandmothers of voters in
tend to- add the weight of their in
dividual ballots to the weight of
their influence over men floks.
Il suppose I control as MANY
votes as nearly any other woman in
the county, "laughingly remarked
one lovely gray haired dame, "but l
believe 1t is my, duty to vote my be-
lief as much as it is the duty of
my sons. A great many women have
been opposed to woman suffrage for
reasons that I believe should now
lead them to register and vote for the
express purpose of. off setting those
reasons since we have to face Them"
While the general opinion is that
women will not vote in the Noyem-
Der elections because OF the raw that
requires registration six months. pri-
or to election, a strong probability is
considered that the question will be
brought up before the state conven-
ton in Macon next week. The state
Democratic convention has no jur-
1sdiction over the general election
but it is believed that a discussion
OF the question would enable a le-
gal opinion to be rendered that would
carry decisive weight. Women will
vote in most other states in Novem-
Der and the position is taken that
it would be unfair to deprive Geor-
gia women of the vote. A point
has BEEN made that the six month
law applies to men only. If that
point is carried, the polls will be open
to women.
In the mean time registration in
creases at a rapid rate in Ben Hill.
The daily average for the first four
days this week was eight. For the
last two days it has been thirteen.
Heavy registration by women from
the rural districts is anticipated to-
morrow.

FARM BUREAU SELL
VANS. CORN, HOGS
Price Quotations Through Bur
reau Asked by Brunswick
WANT VANS AND CORN
Bureau Prepares for Cooperative
Live Stock Market

Quotations on car load lots OF
sweet potatoes, both for run of the
held and for selected tubers, and on
car load lots of corn were requested
from the Ben Hill County Farm
Bureau Federation in a letter from
X: V. Crime, of the Brunswick Board
OF Trade. The quotations were made,
by County Agent c. T. Owens, who
is also secretary of the county fed
Grafton, and the order will be filed
through the community councils if
the price is found satisfactory.
The Brunswick board of trade is
preparing to launch curb market In
Brunswick where farm products will
be handled directly from farmer to
consumer or by the semi-direct route
from the farm bureau through the
board of trade. The farmer will get
a better price for his product and
the. consumer will play less if the
deal is put through.
The farm bureau federation is pre-
pairing for the first of a series of
live stock sales either next week or
the week after Sales facilities will
be put in shape at the McCranie
Stock Yards and buyers of hogs will
get them through the farmers own
statesmen. At least one car load of
hogs will be shipped next week thru
the farm bureau.
Enrolment in the farm bureau
continues to grow steadily. Present
market conditions are credited with
much of the growth. The farmers
have been forced to the realization
that unless they help each other they
are not going to get help and they
have got to cooperate.
