Halle which occurred quite peacefully
at his home yesterday, due to no spe-
cial disease but because on his wears
and gradually increasing feebleness.
While DR.. Halle had been staying
home for about two weeks he was in
tn drug store on last Saturday having
will to be up and doing as long as
rfe and strength should last.
DR.. Halle was born in Kershaw Co.

medical course in Philadelphia and
graduated in 1866 after which he prac-
tlced In West Virginia, Texas, Atlanta
and coming to Fitzgerald in 1902 en-
gagged in the drug business as his age

Halle OF Cedartown, Ga, and Mrs w

Halle was married again in 1895 and
this wife was the one known by Fitz-
gerald people. Mrs. Halle was a splen-

TO his interests and to his family.
FOR many years she was most solY-
citous about his health, his chronic
cough of IS Years standing causing
concern. 1t was the strange providence
however that her death should have
preceded his by seven years.

Last Saturday was marked by a
large number OF neighborhood rum
mage sales in Savannah put on by
groups of children wishing some spend
ing money for the big fair beginning
this week. AS many as three were
noted on one street. Attics had been

PLAYING HEARTSTRINGS

That old fiddler in northern Mich
gan fiddled better than he knew when
he tuned up for the Ford-Edison camp
ing party OF last summer. SO impress
ed was Ford that he has recently per-
sonally delivered a car as a gift to the
old man and Edison has promised a
rail trip for him to his own studio and
other expenses also paid that some
records may be made of the selections
that proved SO captivating to them at
that time

WOMAN'S WAY

After the most heated campaign the
Georgia federation of club women has
probably ever known when Mrs Mich
OILS Peterson of Triton and Mrs. Alon-
20. Richardson of Atlanta were racing
each other three days for election to
the state dictatorship in the national
federation the decision brought no
rancour to the defeated candidate Mrs.
Peterson but quite to the contrary. pro
vokedl only an exchange of tributes
from the floor, each to the other and
still more affecting demonstration
of appreciation and affection as they
met and embraced in the aisle. The
little boil weevil is named the CHI 'ef
instrument in her defeat, by Mrs. PEI
crson and her south Georgia friends
because the financial stringency OF
this year cut the attendance of dele
gatss from 800 last year to 178 this
year and by far the greatest loss was
10 be noted from this section, one
district showing but five where sixty
delegates were eligible, and the race
was won with the small majority OF
live Totes.

SO
HIGH SCHOOLS ON
INCREASE

The complaint that the majority OF
pupils leave school in the grammar
grades is becoming less warranted by
statistics Of the last decade. Oklaho-
ma for instance has increased her h Oh
school attendance 100 per cent and
Iowa 40 per cent with an average OF
IS per cent generally considered. OF
course this increase is partly due to
increased population but not altogeth-
er as some yearly calculations in
many states indicate the growing and
probation Of the higher standard and
IS more attributable to the consolida-
ton OF country schools and the system
OF the junior high school which af-
lords such an easy stepping stone to
the high school proper

majority are i'll flivvcrs and stop gyp-

are elder y farmers with crops laid bv
and nothing much on their minds but
to enjoy mild winter and to see bit
of the world and its people until spring
plowing calls them home. But this is
really a wonderful change in the lives
OF many people, and Henry Ford
should be considered great bencfac-
tor for this one thing of putting the
means, III the shape of a cheap and
dependable car, into the hands of peo-

seen the beauties of thefr native land

would never have added to their happi-

VALUE IN MEANS AND END
Two interesting things about the
new tobacco tax stamps are the use
OF the receipts in the first place, one
quarter OF million yearly to be used
to build a new sanatorium for con-
sumptives at Alto, taking the old one
now sadly outgrown, for the colored
people only and who at present are
entirely unprovided for. Also por-
ton goes to pay the pensions of old
Confederate soldiers. The picture sup-
gcstcd by Comptroller w. A. Wright

outstanding historical work at the pres
ent time and one that advertises the

 MT. Joaquin came to that re zion from Nome, attracted by the reports of rich deposits of mercury bearing ore to be found there. He made the trip by dog team and landed at the old Rus sian trading post named after Major Kolmakoff, and located at the central part of the river. Soon after landing he, with Ed ward Lind, organized what later was enlarged and merged into the Kuskokwim Commercial Go. At that time little was known of the lower part of the river, as all supplies were brot over a trail from Nushagak on Bristol Bay. MT. Joaquin explored the river 15O miles below Bethel and trac it's channel we'll out into Bering to prove that supplies could be brot in more cheaply With his notes he went to San Francisco to secure a boat.
