Romance in Real Life.

The recent death OF Mrs. James ]. Hill,
widow OF the railway builder, at the age of
Is, recalls the beautiful relationship that ex
listed between them and the romance that was
in their lives. 1t was a romance that was only
terminated by the death OF Mr.. Hill.
Mrs. Hill was Mary Theresa Michigan
She was born in New York city OF Irish par
ents. When she was II years old her father
died and it became necessary for her to earn
her own living. In 1868 she was employed as
a waitress in the Merchants hotel in St. Paul.
1t was there that she first met Mr.. Hill, who
was working as a clerk for the packet COM
pany and who had quarters at the hotel. Ac-
quantance ripened into love- but it was not
until four years later that they were mar
ried. During shat interval Mary attended a
convent in Milwaukee, her expenses being
paid by Mr. Hill Mr.. and Mrs. Hill were
lifelong lovers. She was devoted to him and
he to her. She shrank from public view, her
greatest interest being her home and her chill
dren Prosperity did not spoil them nor did
the greatness that came to Mr.. Hill lessen
his regard for the wife of his youth. He did
not hesitate to pay public tribute to the fine
ness of her character. The St. Paul seminary
he built and endowed in her honor. Their
welded life together covered span Of 49
years Mr. Hill having died in 1916. 1t is a
story of fidelity and devotion that is dupli-
Gated in many lives. 1t is the glory of Amer
lea that such cases are not exceptional. Yet
such romances when revealed are always
beautiful.

AT the Rows End.

A great many counties, like the state and the
national governments and almost every indi-
vidual have been on a money spending spree
the past few years, and now that the day of
reckoning has come are greatly embarrass-
ed The Hawkinsville News and Dispatch
publishes a call for mass meeting OF the
citizens of Pulaski county for the purpose OF
discussing plans for economizing in county
expenses" and "the wisdom OF doing away
with the changing and dispensing with the
services of the farm demOnstratOr and the
canning club agent" The Lyons Progress
says "Toombs county is facing something like
the same situation" These are only two OF
many counties that have spent beyond their
means, and oppressed the taxpayers. Others
have already held mass meetings and discuss
ed their financial plight, some have already
given up their convicts, and others are con-
sidering that step. The counties the state and
the nation must economic as well as the in
dividual. It will mean ruination not to do so.

Statistics That Don't "Statiz. !"
From the Savannah News.

With some trouble for its clerks, the census
bureau has prepared list of the fifty lead
ing agricultural counties in the United States. y
1t shows how they ranked in 1919 in total
value of live stock products and crops, with
the amounts, and in value of crops alone and
the amounts Of the fifty, thirteen are in Cal
ifornia, and none in Georgia. But what does
that comparison mean? Nothing. The land
area of California is 156,O92 square miles and
the state had ffty-six counties in 1920, an
average of 2,787 square miles to the county
The land area of Georgia is 5S,725 square
miles and in 1920 there were $50 counties, an
average of 39l square miles. Is there any
thing to be gained by comparing counties OF
Georgia and California in value of products
when the average California county is seven
times as big as the average. Georgia county?
The average Georgia county would have to
be seven times as productive as the average
California county to tie it in the most pro-
ductive" list. About all the list is worth is
to give California lot of publicity that inn
presses those who do not take the trouble
to analyze the governments publication
