A large delegation of educators and missionaries from Atlanta and elsewhere representing the various civic and religious organizations of which Mrs. Murden was a member, came to pay the last rites to their celebrated friend. Hidden under a mighty heap of flowers, which though now withered will ever remain fresh and fragrant in the minds of friends, Mrs. Murden's remains will repose in the Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery.

He leaves to mourn his loss a devoted wife a host of relatives and friends. Rev. Fambro, sleep on and take your rest. We are coming some day. January 4th was a funeral attended so tenderly. It reminded the attendants of the funeral of the late Booker T. Washington. Your vacancy can never be filled. May the Lord forever take care of your devoted wife, relatives and friends who shall forever mourn your loss. Your passing is a shock and loss to Georgia. Your good work is worthy of always being remembered. Your place in the history of our Church is secure. Sleep on and take your rest, But Jesus loved you best. Accept our sympathy. The Chester Family Mrs. Deadwyler Gets Surprise The teachers and pupils of the East Athens School, appreciating the twenty-one years of hard, constrictive service of Mrs. M. W. Deadwyler, decided that on the occasion of her birthday they would manifest their gratefulness in an appropriate way. And so during the last days of February [her birthday occurring the 1st of March] the teachers bagan to inform the "kiddies" of their plans with the positive instructions that they "saw wood and say nothing." It was a beautiful sight when the appointed day came as each of the youngsters came marching in with their bouquets of daffodils, jonquils and daises, oranges, and other toothsome and useful things to present to their life-long friend and teacher. The flowers and other articles were symmetrically arranged on a table around a beautiful lemon cheese cake made and presented by Mrs. M. H. Harris, teacher and matchless culinary artist. expand the school in honor to name and principals. Rev. Whitehead Dic 150 Strickland Athens, Ga. Nov. 11, 19 Mr. Editor:- Please allow me a space in your paper to tell of the sad news the death of Rev. W. M. Whitehead; the elder son of Rev. A Mrs. Whitehead who parted t Prof. S. F. Harris, Supervising Principal Athens Colored Schools, was present and characterized the affair as the most affable and affectionate endorsement he had ever seen of a public servant by her patrons and students. The words of a prominent citizen who once told Mrs. Deadwyler that she little knew the exalted place that she held in the hearts of her patrons were proven true on this occasion. Gospel Pilgrim Society Reorganizes At a recent election of the Gospel Pilgrim Society Dr. B. L. Jackson was elected president, W. W. Clark, vicePres., Miss Julia Lee, Financial Secretary, Mrs. Lady Jackson, CorrespondSecretary, Mr. H. L. Lumpkin, Treas., Mr. Alfred R. Hill, Supt. Cemetery, Wm. Tiller, Sexton. The Society has been thoroughly reorganized and every Athens citizen of color would do well to join it. Dr. H. M. Smith dies Great Exemplar of Service without Recompense to His Fellowman, Enters into Rest Rev H. M. Smith for many years moderator of the Jeruel Baptist Association, passed into the Great Beyond January 18, 1926. Rev. Smith was conconsiderably beyond his three score and ten years and his life has been a long and useful one. During the war between the States he was his mistress' body guard and the rigil faithfulness exhibited as a salve sentinel followed him into freedom and made an enthusiastic teacher and a zealous defender of the faith. He gave his life for the development of Union Baptist Institute and that school has not experienced such a loss since the death of its founder, Dr. C. H. S. Lyons. Dr. Smith's funeral on January 21st resembled a great camp meeting there being many white and colored people present. Representatives of both races paid him tribute. The two great monuments that mark the course of Rev. Smith are: his son Rev. H. M. Smith, Jr., one of the most powerful preachers of the country and the Union Baptist Institute. We pray that the people will preserve and expand the school in honor to his name and principals. Rev. Whitehead Dies 150 Strickland St. Athens, Ga.

To be Judge of Athletes Declared Difficult It is a hard task for any one who attempts to rate the many brilliant players who appeared on the High School teams in the City of Athens. It is a doubly hard task when the "picker"'is connected with the winning team, because there are those who may claim bais and prejudice. In overy game the High School boys met a more experienced team The most outstanding disadvantages which the A. H. I. S. boys met were age and weight. They were greatly outweighed in every game but by superior playing they were able to emerge victorious in all games played except the first game of the season which was played against Washington High of Atlanta. The much heralded Championship team of Union Institute and the City Champion, Ballard Normal School, Macon were met and defeated by the High School team. Now, as I name the players for an all City team. I am sure that most of those who know how to judge football players will agree with me. The players who appear on the team below have been selected for their all-around efficiency. Services of Judge No. 203 Jourt No. 684 St. Paul C. M. St., Sunday, Rev. W.

I only want you to know that I haven't forgotten you and the readers of the Athens Republic I trust you had a merry Xmas and the New Year burst forth with joy and happiness. We had Joyful Christmas and the New Year found us in the house of our Lord giving thanks to the almighty for keeping us safe thus far.

This amount was raised in sixty days. The pastor raised himself $175.00 among the business men of the city. Mrs. Marion raised on her club $128.

Maple St. Develop Georgia Program Under Way Plans for the "Develop Georgia" program to be held at the State College of Agriculture during the week of January 25 to 30 have been completed, and all is in readiness for the throng of visitors expected for the conference, the College announces. This will be the nineteenth annual Farmers' Week held by the THE ATHENS REPUBLIQUE College of agriculture. Starting in 1907 at the opening of the institution with an attendance of less than fifty, it has grown steadily and last year a record of 1,500 hundred students for the week was established. An even greater number is looked for this year, it is said. Amonog the program to be presented will be addresses by Governor Clifford Walker, Commissioners J. J. Brown, Dr. Harvey Cox of Emory University, R. L. McKinney of the Macon News, Miss Nightingale of London England, and Dr. Andrew M. Soule, Presideat of the State College of Agriculture. Value of crops produced in Georgia in 1925 fell below that of 1924 to the extent oi $27,000,000 according to the final report of the Georgia co-oporative Crop Reporting Service issued recently The loss in total value is attributed to the reduced corn production together with the smaller potato, hay, peanuts, syrup and apple crops. Larger production of wheat, oats and pecans and better prices received for peaches and watermelons give an increase in the value of these crops, figures shown. Special significance is attached to the comparisons of the yields and total value of the tobacco watermelons and peach crops in 1924 and 1925, by Dr. John R. Fain, Professor of agonomy and farm economics at the State College of Agriculture. In the case of tobacco, in 1925 there was agaeat increase in the aceage planted to this crop with the result that production was 17,000 000 pounds in excess of the 1924 crop, through the total value was more than a million less. 1925 the area planted to watermolons was rduced 10,000 acres yet the price received for the crop was almost a million and a half dollars more a year before. The 1925 peach crop fell short of the 1925 production by more than a million crates, still the total value of the crop was $2,000,00 more than in 1924. Those figures, Dr. Fain points out, run true to forming, that when a large acreage is planted and an unusually large crop is produced, the returns are nearly always smaller than when a normal crop is produced. Rey. Fambro As A Worker When Rev. Fambre came to the city it was as Abraham when God called unto him to get out of that country and from among hiskinds men, and out from his father house unto a land I will show you.

A Gentle Reminder As Memorial Day, the time set aside for us to honor our dead, draws near may we not suggest to all who have lots. and graves in Gospel Pilgrim Cemetery that they spend a few hours during the pleasant days leading up to the Memorial Anniversary clearing away the underbush that detracts from the beauty of the resting places of our loved ones. By so doing we may inspire some less interested brother to a lofty sense of duty, and thus lighten the burden of life. Yours for a beautiful cemetery, B. L. JACKSON, Pres.

They tell us that there are four lassoes about the neck of Mr. C. A. B. One young professor stubbornly affirms that he is her property. He and Divine No. 1, of U. B.
