Judith Thomas, widow of Charles
w. kittredge, had passed away last
Monday evening, after an illness of
three weeks, following a paralytic
shock Mrs Kittredge was dearly
beloved by all whose privilege it
was to know her. She was al
ways ready to respond to the call for
aid in sickness or trouble and ever
ready to help in the religious and
social activities of the village In
the home, she was most affectionate
wife and mother.
Mrs Kittredge was seventy years
of age. She was the daughter of the
late William and Clarinda Higgins
Thomas. a direct descendant of two
of the pioneer settlers of Mt. Desert
island. She was married to Charles
W. Kittredge about fifty years ago.
To them We're born three daughters
and two sons-Mrs. Alice Graves and
Mrs. Marian Written OF Northeast

Of Wells, and Miss Eleanor of Wash

GEORGIA CROP REPORT

An "old-time" cotton crop is fore

Crop Service in it's semi-monthly re-
port released today. From the pres
ent outlook the crop will be about
double that produced last year. The
difficulty in 1928 was in telling how
statisticians. This year the difficult
ty is in telling just how high Geor-
gia figures will run.
A large proportion of the crop is
probably safe and picking has start
ed in the lower third of the state
Boil Weevils are becoming quite ac-
tive in southern Georgia, but in that
section the crop is too far advanced
for them to do damage at all COM
parable with that of past years.
Quite a number of counties failed
to receive rain during the past fort
night and the outlook has been re-
duced on this account. This is par
ticularly true of scattered counties
in north Georgia.
Burke, Carroll Sumter and Lau-
close race for first place. Core
spondents in each of these counties
have fixed their idea of the crop
around $4,000 bales. Until a week
ago the race seemed to be between
Sumter and Burke. Now the odds
seem to favor Carroll. In the next
group are. Madison, Franklin, Hall,
Dodge, Terrell and Emanuel. which
are expecting to make form 5000
to 10000 bales.
