Wilkes County History,
Written by Albanian,
In Hands Of Printers
BY CONDO

EThe Hills, of Wilkes County,
Georgia, and Allied Families"
book by Lodowick J. Hill. ST., of 495
CORTLAND street, Atlanta. containing
the history and lineage of families
which have been identified with the
south since the earliest colonial
days, is now in the printers hands
and will be ready FOR delivery some;
time in January or soon thereafter.
While the work confines itself
principally to the genealogy of the
Hill and allied families of Wilkes
county, it will be a valuable Gontri-
button to the history of Georgia and
the south, since so many of the per.
sons named in it were men ard
women who were prominently iden-
titled with the building of the south
and whose descendants in the pres
ent generation are we'll known. The
information for the work was com.
piled by MIR. Hill after years of to-
dious research through official rec
ords and private memoirs and these
facts, available in no other single
volume, will be published for the
first time in Mr.. Hills work.
The history is a labor of love on
the part of the author and is the
result of an earnest desire to pre-
serve in durable form the true his
tory and lineage of the families con.
cerned, including the record Of their
colonial and revolutionary services.
Only a limited number of copies will
be printed. MIR. Hill is one of the
pioneer citizens of Atlanta, is a ma
tive of Wilkes county, an officer. in
the Confederate army, and is an au-
thority on matters pertaining to the
genealogy of southern families.

j. s. PLANS To CUT
PRICES Of MEAT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-A cam
paign against meat dealers will be
begun within a few days by the de-
partment of agriculture, which is
determined to bring down retail
meat prices, it was learned today
from high officials of the department.
The department has just complet-
ed a survey which shows, officials
said, that retail meat prices the
country over are on an average of
war. The survey shows most of this
is going into the pockets of retail
meat dealers as profit.
Various means are being consid-
cred by the department to force
down meat prices. One plan is to
permit the big packers to establish
retail stores and sell directly to the
public. The government feels that
since congress passed the packer
control law, there would not be much
danger in permitting the packers to
engage in retail business. The pack
ers, it was pointed out, are as much
interested in increased meat con.
sumption as anybody, and therefore,
ought to welcome the opportunity to
increase their business by selling di.
rectly to consumers.
Another plan is to induce Chain
stores" such as are maintained in
practically all cities, to sell meats.
| Most of them now handle only gro.
ceries.
Still another is to foster estab-
lishment of cooperative meat mar

ADVERSE CONDITIONS.
HURTSSTATE CROPS.

Diversified farming was practiced
to a considerable extent in Georgia
during 1921 and as result the
largest corn crop in the history of
report of the United States bureau
of markets and crop estimates is
sued from the headquarters of the
agricultural statistician for Georgia.
The report showed also that due
to the reduced acreage planted, the
cotton crop ip the state is the small
est since 1873. The bureau of esti-
mates placed the production of cot
ton in Georgia for 1921 at 100000
bales.
Prospects for good acreage yields
in various products have been lost,
due to adverse conditions, the report
says. Continued hot, dry weather
through the late summer is said to
have caused the deterioration. 1t is
reported that average yields of most
crops have been reduced to less than
the ten-year average.
The corn crop, however, made an
excellent showing. The total corn
production is estimated finally at
S7,975,OO0 bushels, SO per cent of
which is of merchantable quality.
A slump in both the average yield
and total production of tobacco is
noted In 1921 the average yield
per acre was 564 pounds per acre as
compared with 600 pounds per acre
in 1920. The total production is g.
AIS, 900 pounds as compared to 49,
100000 in 1920.
Sweet potatoes averaged Is bush
els per acre, giving a total produc-
ton of 1,725,00O; last year produc-
ton was 1,62S,000 with an average
yield of "a bushels.
Shocked and stunned by the evils
wrought by the one-crop SYSTEM"
the report says, 1.-The farmers of
Georgia diversified this year more
than ever.
"Of paramount Importance is the
record corn crop. Georgia farmers
produced this year a record corn
crop. More land is under corn than
in any other southern state except
ing Texas; and Georgia has three
fourths as much corn acreage as has
the Lone Star state. And she has as
much land planted in corn as has
North and South Carolina and F'lori-
da combined"
Reports on other crops are con-
tanned in the bulletin with a general
tendency toward inferior crops as
compared with the 1920 Yields.

EVEN CAREFUL
CALOMEL USERS
ARE SAL|vATED
Next Dose of TreaCherous
Drug may Start Misery
for You

Calomel is dangerous. 1t may sail
vate you and make you suffer fear
fully from soreness of gums, ten
derness of jaws and teeth, swollen
tongue and, excessive saliva drlb-
. bling from the mouth. Don't trust
calomel. 1t is mercury; quicksilver.
If you feel bilious, headachy. con-
stipated and all knocked out, just
go to your druggist and get bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few
cents, which is a harmless vegetable
substitute for dangerous calomel.
Take a spoonful, and if it doesn't
start your liver and straighten you
up better and quicker than nasty
calomel and without making you
sick, you just go back and get your
money.
If you take calomel today you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great. No salts
necessary. Give it to the children
because it is perfectly harmless and
can not salivate.-(Advertise

DANIEL COMPANY
 IS LIVE WIRE
This Company, Which Will Drill Two Wells Near Blevins, Has General Offices in Prescott Making Themselves Known.

Although Prescott does not claim that all the oil development com panies operating in three or four counties have their headquarters here we do claim and have proof of our contention, that we have some real ones, and some who are among the most active in the state. Prescott welcomes these business men to her city and is doing all in her power to show her appreciation of their pres ence.
 One of these companies is the Daniel Oil & Gas Company, which has already let the contract for a pair of wells near Blevins, in Hemp stead county. One of these wells is to be spudded in within the next few days and the other is to be spudded In within the next sixty days. These wells are in some of the most favor able and promising territory in Hemp stead county and the fact that they are investing in two wells simultan- eously, proves their faith in the pros poets for oil.
 The Daniel Oil & Gas Company has an elegant suite of rooms on the sec ond floor of the Scott building which is furnished in the most modern and attractive manner, with all the re- quisites of a complete business office, and with all facilities for handling oil leases, royalties and acreage and cat ering to the oil-interested public. On the wall of one of the rooms is a large and complete brokerage map drawn in ten colors, size 10x16 feet, showing thereon the area or part area of Hampstead, Nevada, Ouachita Clark and Pike counties, as well as the locations of derricks, wells, sec tions, townships and ranges of each county; all towns and villages, creeks, rivers, railroads and main highways. 1 T. Martin Morgan, vice president of the company, states that the map is of free use to the general public and an invitation is extended to anyone interested in oil development to make their headquarters at his office. Ad- joining the brokerage board will be a black board which will be used for listing of acreages, leases, etc.
 On eof the many advantages, Mir. Morgan said, of having their offices in Prescott is the easy access they will have to their holdings at Blevins. One of the best pike roads leads right to the wells, and the Prescott & Northwestern railroad makes daily trips, giving good railroad facilities.
 The officers of the Daniel Company are as follows: P. c. Stephens, presi- dent; T. Martin Morgan, vice presi- dent; w. T. Daniel, vice president R. E. Wood, secretary treasurer. The local office is in charge of Messrs

was appointed a member of the pub- ilcity committee to fill the vacancy caused by the removal of I. A. Blakelv from the city. The committee is now composed of c. c. Nelson, W. D. Burdine and Orto Finley.
 The matter of soliciting funds to De gwen as a reward to the drillers ot the Bluff City and Sutton wells Tor the bringing in of a 100 barrel well was discussed by various mem oers, resulting in the appointment bv the president of M. w. Greeson and M l.. Moore as committee to solicit such funds.
 Several speeches were made by members conversant with the oil game and much valuable information given regarding the operations in Nevada county.
 MT. Moore of the Pyramid Petro- ieum Company of Shreveport, La, addressed the membership with refer ence to the drilling of we'll near Prescott. This being matter which addresses itself to the individual member rather than the Chamber as a body, no definite action was taken.
 The secretary was instructed to communicate with Martin Nelson, of Blevins, and H. B. Lanscen of Lit tie Rock, chicken specialists, in an effort to secure the services of these gentlemen in the near future for local chicken and egg fanciers to the end that their flocks may be i'm proved and the egg supply in Nevada county increased.
 Other matters of interest were dis cussed and committee reports made.

Anyway, this mornings work proved the uselessness of mans pre- dictions--especially in Arkansas. We began to have weather of severe nature early this morning with a pretty good sleet which was followed by a mixture of sleet and some of the most business-like snowfakes ever seen in this section. Then fol lows more sleet which tapered off with some rain and the weather began to moderate and moderated for only a few minutes and the wind began to blow and at the present writing real winter seems to be upon us.
