that "Mary's baby" was now In the

though today Media is happy young
lady loved and trained by new
father and mother, even surrounded
by several promising young men OF
her community all wanting to marry
her. she can scarcely forget that
Thanksgiving Day in the home Of the
Judge Grandma, too, was well cared
for after that day, and, though now
she has gone on to join Needa's first
daddy and mother, before going she
witnessed the new life of "Mary'd
baby" with the devoted folks which
the Children's Home Society gave
her. OF course, Grandma never did
realize as / did how Media, whose
name is now entirely changed as are
her features beyond all recognition,
| worked a marvellous change also in
that home to which she went az
daughter, making two people SO much
better than they ever could have
been had their home remained child
less.
That was ten years ago. Since then
some twelve-hundred other children
as homeless as "Mary's baby" have
been taken and made happy by the
Georgia Children's Home Society
whose headquarters are in Atlanta.

MR.. LARAMORE
MAKES STATEMENT
TO THE PUBLIC.


Some jealous person has made the
statement that there was seven
thousand dollars worth of fertilizer
used on the county farm this year.
It is untrue, l bought 23 tons of
fertilizer from the V. C. Fertilizer
Co., at $4,000 per ton, amounting
to $4,000. The Lee County farm
made $500 bushels of corn; 1850
bushels of sweet potatoes besides /
acre of sweet potatoes left for hogs;
As tons of hay, thirty thousand bun
dies of fodder, 100 bushels of peas;
A tons velvet beans; $50 gallons of
syrup and will kill 1900 pounds of
meat and only used $4,000 worth of
fertilizer instead of seven thousand
dollars worth. l just wanted to
make this statement so the people
who are not familiar with the af-
fairs of Lee county will not be mis-
led by such false reports as the one
above referred to.
