WOMAN ORDERS ODD EPITAPA
"More Saw of People, More Thought
Of Dogs" Words She Has CHS
eIed on Marble.

New Yorl.-"The more / saw Of peO-
pie. the more l thought Of dogs" Is
the line that Mrs. Sidmon Nellie or
dered for an epitaph. And already 1t
is chiseled on marble bust Of herself,
which, by the terms Of her will, made
public, will rest on pedestal that will
encase her ashes.
Also, in her will she leaves her con-
siderable property, the amount of
which she declined to reveal, to the
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty
to Animals, to build near New York
the largest animal hospital in the
world, as a memorial in her name.
At the entrance will be the bust,
which already has been executed by
Enrico Quattrini, the Papal sculptor
who, to crafty Mrs. Nellie, divided
his time between it and a rush order
for monument to the late Cardinal
Rampallo.
Captain Also Had Grievance.
One of the petty grievances Of pri-
vate soldiers and non-commissioned
officers at Camp Taylor during the
late war was the ban on rolled leg
gings. But they were frequently
smuggled in and worn on trips home.
On such an occasion q private from
Camp Taylor had reached Vincennes,
Ind, in the full glory Of borrowed and
illegitirnate leggings. However, his
pride Of possession was short-lived,
for he soon saw captain whom he
had known slightly in civilian life
The captain. after looking at him in
tently for a while, strobe Up to him
and our private had uncomfortable Wis
ions of a panorama from the guard
house to the firing squad. "Do they
allow you to wear rolled leggings at
Camp TaylorY the captain demanded
with a flashing eye. mo, sir" the
private suffered "Humph," said the
officer Indignantly, "they don't at CamT
Grant, either, and think it's a gosl
awful shame"

Panels Interesting History

A gruesome story attaches to q
Flemish glass panel Of the Four
teenth century, which was on exhibit
ton in London, with other stained
glass work centuries old. On the
panel Is represented the suicide Of
Judas Iscariot, with wildly circum-
stantial and morbid details. In old
books Of the period reference is made
to a glass painter, known as Charles
Of Ypres, who is known to have exc
cuted great part Of the most re-
markable work Of the time, having
hanged himself to a tree. This and
other evidence makes it probable that
the panel was the actual work of this
very man. Another panel represents
what is probably the only contempt
rary portrait on stained glass of
Richard III. 1t recently came to
light after being stored away in an
Essex mansion for 113 years.

Cleansing the
Greenback


A very ingenious young lady
who is a trained nurse in Albany
recently made q discovery that
will be of interest to every per-
son who dislikes to handle soiled
currency. Everyone has at times
been given bills that were not
only offensive and unsightly,
but also unsafe to har die because
Of germs.
This young lady decided to
try an experiment, and it result
ed so successfully that it is
worth giving TO the public. She
took several bills so badly soiled
that the denomination was al
most undecipherable, and washed
them. When they were dried
they not only looked like new
bills, with every line restored to
it's original clearness, but per.
fume having been used in the
process, they aloo had a very
pleasing ordrr, Albany Herald.

Cotton Growing
For 1928

The present prospects are that
the Georgia farmer is going to
plant a record cotton crop in
1923. 1t is most earnestly adj
vised that the farmers do not
depend too much upon cotton for
1923. Under boil weevil condi-
tons cotton has become a most
uncertain crop 1t. should be
supplemented by other cash crops,
as we'll as by the production of
all food stufTs needed for home
consumption. 1t is also urged
that farmers plant only the num-
her of acres to which they can
apply the intensive methods now
needed to produce cotton under
boil weevil conditions. This
means limiting the area to not
more than 10 acres to the pillow,
possibly 5 or 6 acres would be
better. The following suggestion
for growing cotton in 1923 are
offered.
AS a general proposition any,
thing which before the advent of
the boil weevil was called good
farming" if now practiced will
yield far greater returns. This
means we'll prepared seed beds,
planed with good seed, liberal
use of fertilizer, and thorough
cultivation. In addition to this
anything which will hasten the
growth of the crop is an adyant-
age. Early preparation of seed
bed is desirable along this line.
Late varieties or early varieties
with poor lint should be avoided.
Abundance of seed should be used
so as to secure a uniform stand.
Spacing should be somewhat
thicker than formerly as this
seems to hasten the maturity of
the cotton. At the Georgia Ex-
pertinent Station spacing s inches
in 81 foot rows has given best
results About 500 to 600 pounds
of fertilizer should be used per
acre. This fertilizer should con-
tain 8 to 10 percent phosphoric
acid or about 300 pounds of acid
phosphate. Amounts of potash
will vary from 2 percent on our
clay soils to 4 percent on sandy
soils, or from "a 10 48 lbs. of mu-
rate Of potash. Nitrogen ap-
pears to be the most important
element in fastening the growth
of cotton. Enough nitrogen
should be used to produce quite a
vigorous growth early in the
summer, but not enough to cause
rank vegetatlve growth at the
expense Of fruitipg.

GETCHELL'S CORNER
HOME OF SEVERAL
NAMES FAMOUS

About half way between Water
vile and Augusta lies little settle
ment called Getchell's Corner. This
ilttle hamlet is part of the town of
Vassalboro and is situated on the
state highway. Perhaps there is no
town or city anywhere around that
mas more produced more famous men
or mad more historic events happen
within its borders.
Getchells corner is situated almost
on the bank of the Kennebec river
just far enough away to give the in
hapltants a wonderful view of the
river and the rolling hills beyond.
IL is full of old houses built some of
them $50 to 200 years ago but still
solid and homelike due to their con-
struction.
In this little town the Late Chief
Justice William Penn Whitehouse
spent his boyhood days and here
also the famous Maine author Hol-
j man Day was born. The late Nell
son A. Luce for many years state
superintendent of schools lived in
this little town up to the time of his
death but a few months ago.
One of the most interesting resi-
dences in the little village is that
owned by Miss Charlotte and Miss
Mary Wrigley known now as Rose
Croix Inn,
This set of buildings was formerly
known as the Getchcll Homestead
and was owned by members of the
Getchell family for more than $50
years. The house is now more than
1873 years old but it stands as straight
and true as though it were no older
than many dwellings that have ex-
listed but TX or 90 CaarS
There is an interesting story re-
lated by inhabitants of the town that
when Benedict Arnold came up the
kennebec on his expedition to Can
ada one of his bateaus capSized near
the settlement and several thousand
dollars worth of gold was lost. The
following spring three Of the Getchell
boys went down and salvaged the
gold and with it built this house.
The house is big square build
ing with an ell attached in back. An
ancient flagstone walk leads to the
massive front door with 4 big brass
knocker. Inside the scheme of dec
GRAFTON and furnishing is just as it
was many years ago. Quaint furni-
ture, ancient candle sticks and a big
brass warming pan are of interest.
The big doors We're fashioned by
hand and swung on LII hinges that
the superstitious people Of long ago
put on. The LII stood then for
Lord Help Us and Keep the Witches
Away. The beams of the buildings
are hewn and of huge proportion.
The boards in many instances are
two and three feet wide. In the
back part is very pretty dining
room arranged for the guests. Here
the Misses WrigleV famous as cooks
in Waterville and vicinity serve de-
licious banquets.
Up stairs there is a wonderful
old bed. made more than 200 years
ago but still useful. The four posts
are carved from Walnut while over
head an arched canopy of white lin
en- Is arranged.
Hundreds of autoists pass this
little village every day during the
summer months but only a few of
them realize the beauty and historic
cal interest that is in that little plot
of land less than mile square.

that they were in the habit of back
ing into their narrow driveway, up

the entrance of their driveway, he
looked GU on both sides, leaving his
seat to look out on the right side,
and there was no car or anything
else in sight. He stated he had

All, Abram l.. Walker vs.. BENZ. W.
Brown, Harvey D. Eaton, Esq, ap-
peared for plaintiff. and Henry l..
Hunton. Esq. and Carroll N Per-
kins. Esq, for defendant.
Mr.. Harvey opened the case, and
stated that the plaintiff was married
in 1918, and in the spring of 1920
bought a Ford car with money from
joint account of the savings of
himself and wife: that he ran the car
that season and the next, until in
November, 1921, he had to go to the
hospital in Augusta, when he re-
manned until August, 1922: that upon
returning home he found his auto
mobile had been sold by his wife to
the defendant This suit followed.
The plaintiff took the stand, and
testified about as outlined in the
opening. On cross examination he
denied that he had ever told his
wife or anyone else that he bought a
car for her
