RESOLUTIONS OLE RESPECT

Whereas, God in his wisdom has
called one Of HIS very own unto him
and thereby has taken from us, and
from a lie that ends to a life that
never ends, Brother w +. Adams, and
WHEREAS, Brother Adams was a
dcvout Christian, a member of our
church and one OF the most loyal and
enthusiastic; one OF the most interest
ed and humble, Yet determined and
helpful members OF our class, and
WHEREAS, his Christian life has
been such that it has attracted our at
tention IN its devotion to the cause
OF the Kingdom, and nc advancement
OF Gods interest, and
WHEREAS, he was good hus-
band, and devoted father. Therefore
be it resolved by the Mems Bible
Class of the First Baptist Church of
Fitzgerald, that in his loss, we feel the
absence of faithful member and a
great friend of the cause for which
we are surviving. Although we deeply
deplorc the loss Of Brother Adams
we bow in humble subm ssion to the
plan of our Lord who docth all
things we'll.
That we extend to his wife and
children, who knew and loved him
best and will miss him most orr
icndcrcst sympathy. We commend
them to our Heavenly Father, whose
love IS sufficient 30 comfort them and
bear them up over this earthly Journey
and at the end insure them a home
not made with hands, eternal in the
Heavens.
That copy of these resolutions be
sent to the family, and to each of the
local papers and that the Church be
requested to adopt them and spread
them upon its minutes.

Several Years ago the Georgia Chi
dren's Home Society with headquar-
tiers in Atlanta placed the little girl
accompanying this story with an I'M
married lady in a middle Georgia
town. The Home Society had placed
hundreds of orphan children with
childlcss couples all about the state
but it was rather unusual to place one
with an-no, | must. not say an cold
maid" for this handsome woman look
cd more like prosperous minister's
wife than she ever looked like a
spinster The fact is, she had some
good reasons for not marrying and
she deliberately set herself against
running to seed" She didn't pine her
self away for the man she might have
married if they had ever met, and since
she lost no flesh from the pining, and
since she entered into all the reasona-
bic pleasures and recreatiOns that tend
to keep one normal, she has kept her
OCduly anu dlI Ol Hti romance until
this day.
Do you blame this good woman for
not marrying one of the dozen men
who camped about her in early years
and bcsought her to marry them?
Well, | don't. She knew them better
than we do, and | tell you she's
strong character She chose a single
life rather than harness up with man
who fell far short of her expectations
one she could not look up to and
respect as the worthy head of her
family.
But She was not satisfied. No single
woman above thirty ever is satisfied
with her lot in life. It's an awful lone,
y way to live. 1t isn't natural, and
a woman like this has sense enough
to know it. Even though she doesn't
know any man who makes her want
to marry, she feels there is such a
person i'll the world if only she had
come right down to basic facts, though
perhaps the normal woman and the
woman who would keep normal as she
grows older, is more deeply concerned
over the realization that no baby is
coming to exercise her natural mater
nal instincts. What natural woman
wants to go through life without moth
cring a child?
This normal young woman in mid
die Georgia would not accept that plan
Tor her life. Mother was dead, father
was old, in a few years, almost any
time, she would be left in a big house
alone. What did she do, what could she
do, but communicate with the Georgia
Children's Home Society in Atlanta
and let them know her wishes? She
didn't specify blue eyes or brown, or
light hair or dark. But she wanted an
orphan baby, little human soul to
bring up as her own little daughter
She got it, and this story carries the
picture of the little girl we sent her.
The photo in a newspaper will not
do her justice, for she is lovely child
Being man, and havingman's nat
ural conceit, l am just surprised and
chagrinned to see how happy and
content the child and her mother are
without man in the house. If women
knew they could adopt very attract
i've children without marrying,

COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION
STRONG FACTOR IN ADJ
VANCE OF PEANUT PRICES

ALBANY, Ga, Oc.. ll-Althouph
members of the Georgia Peanut
Growers Cooperative Association are
delivering their peanuts to the Asso
cation IN manner SURPRISING what
many new co-ops experienced during
their fifst delivery season, reports have
reached headquarters office at Albany
OF few failures i'll different sections
to observe The contract for deln cry.
These reports will be investigated full
~, Colonel Robert +. L. Spence, pres
ldcnt and general manager, said, and
where wlllful violations are discovered
the Association will have no other re-
course than to prosecute in the courts
Under the contract which every mem
Der signed, he made himself liable to
two cents pound-or $40 a ton
Equdated damages for every peanut
ne sells outside of the Association.
Il have nothing but sympathy for
the little fellow, who through ignor-
ance OF the press of poverty broke his
contract for the sake of all the money
he could muster just now" Colonel
Spence declared, "but for the big men
who try to take advantage of the
favorable market conditions, in which
the Association has been such dom
inant factor i'll creating, have no
respect, and, as surely as there is
Heaven above us, he will be sued"
J. J. Watson production and sales
manager of the Peanut Association,
declared that while deliveries had been
cheerful and complete i'll most cases,
1t was of extreme importance to the
members themselves and to their neigh
bors, that they deliver every peanut
they sell to their association. when
a grower breaks a contract with this
Association" MIR. Watson said, "hr is
not breaking it with some one away
OIL, but with his own neighbors and
friends The Association is moth ng
more or less than an agreement of
growers among themselves to sell col
lectlvely and to make their peanuts
thereby a bigger factor III affecting
the market
This agreement" Mr. Watson con-
imued, ought to be stronger than the
attraction of temporary high prices,
which might not exist to the degree
they do without the Association. Ev-
cry load of peanuts on the outside
weakens the Associations position
just that much, and this weakens the
ultimate returns of all growers, inside
and out of the Association that much.
Keeping the contract is matter of
enlightened selfishncss if the mem
bers could only see it."
Colonel Spence added to his argu-
ment the statement that the AsSoci-
alton while not claiming all credit for
the advance in the price of peanuts,
has unquestionably been strong fac
tor. He said that the argument that
the laws of supply and demand had
fixed the price and nothing else had
anything to do with it is not borne
out by comparison of the govern
ment statistics as to prices and yield
this year as compared with prices and
yield last year
