Boston, Dec. 0. —Even in death
Mftt. Baker G. Eddy will shape the
destinies of the Christian Science
church, and after her body is laid
to rest on Thursday the affairs of
the greatest of the newest schools of
thought and religion will go on as

Through the written command

the directors, with Archibald Me-

It was also to be decided whether
or not a sculptor would be allowed

leader.
Great crowds gathered about the
Eddy mansion on Chestnut Hill

patrolled by detectives and no one
was allowed to enter except on
showing authority.
Two reports were current this
morning as to the place of burial.
One was that the remains would be
interred in a costly mausoleum in a
cemetery near Chestnut Hill: the
other was that the remains would
he placed in a crypt in beneath the
altar of the mother church.
A conference of members of the
Eddy lioushold and her near rela
tives was called for today. It was
declared that plans for the mauso
leum would be discussed then. Ac
cording to this report, the structure
will be a masterpiece of architecture
—costly yet small. The funeral on
Thursday morning at 11 o’clock
will be held with the utmost simpli

/ 00 Contestants
in Corn Contest
In the Boys’ Corn Club contest
for the prize trip to Washington,
given by the Bankers’ Association of
Georgia, held at the State College of
Agriculture, Athens, Ga., on De
cember Ist, nearly 100 boys of the
state entered.
The rules governing the contest
were that the boys should cultivate
one acre of corn each under the in
structions of the State College of
Agriculture and the United States
farm demonstration work. The
yields as reported by the boys and
attested by two disinterested parties,
ranged from .50 to over 100 bushels
per acre, at a cost of 10 to 50 cents
per bushel. The average yield was
84 bushels. Joseph Stone, of Cen
ter, Jackson county, a boy 12 years
of age and weighing 79 pounds, won
the prize trip. His yield was
102 5-8 bushels, at a cost of 29
cents per bushel.
Other boys in the state made
higher yields at greater profit than
his, but were not allowed to enter
the contest as no club had been or
ganized in their respective counties.
Ralph Davis, of LaGrange, Troup
county, made 108 bushels at a cost
of little less than 20 cents per bush
el, but he was debarred from the
contest because no club had been
organized in his county.
In addition to the prize trip to
Washington, the college of Agricul
ture awarded a certificate of honor
to the prize winner of all the organ
ized counties and t j all boys making
a yield of 75 bushels or more of
corn per acre at a cost not exceed
ing 30 cents per bushel. This cer
tificate is signed by the governor of
the state, state school commissioner,
chancellor of the university, and
president of the State College of
Agriculture, also the superintendent
of theßoys’ Corn Club and the
county school commissioner who or
ganizes and conducts the club in a
county.

Railroad Meeting and
Barbecue at Cary
There will 1 > a big barbecue at Cary next Friday, De
cember 9th, for ihe purpose of boosting the building of a

These people mean business' aim '.VUJU.already filed a I
petition with the secretary of state for incorporation it is
10 miles from Gary and something like 10 miles from Cary
to Danville. Our people should get right in touch with
these people and extend this road from Cary to Coceran
it would then connect with the Southern here, giving
it both a northern and soutnern outlet, and at Danville it
would connect with the M. D. tfc S., giving us another rail
way connection to Macon at a distance of 51 miles, placing
Cochran on a list of competitive points and entitling us to
competitive freight rates.
It is 49 miles to Macon from Hawkinsville via the South
ern Railway..and 72 miles via the W. &T.M.D. it S., but
egardless of the difference in the distance and the fact that
it is covered by two lines of railroads, our sister city has the
same rate into Macon and beyond over this route as via the
direct Soutcern line. Ry virtue of the fact that she has
these different lines of railroads, she is entitled to competit
ive freight rates wnich are much lower on a great many com
modities than we are paying to and from the same points,
although we have 10 miles the advantage over Hawkinsville
as far as geographical situation is concerned.
Me extend heady congratulations to our enterprising
neighbors at Cary. They deserve a railroad, and this will
open up a fine country, and be a paying proposition.

“ VULCANITE ”
Supersedes Shingles and Tin
If you have an old roof that has
outlived its usefulness, repair it
witli “Vulcanite” and save all the
trouble and expense of removing
the shingles or tin. " Vulcanite ”
makes the worst old roof better than
new.
Unless the shingles are in very
bad shape it is not necessary to re
move them, but if they are loose or
curled it is better to take them off
and fill in between the roof boards
with strips of wood; if this is done
care should be taken that none of
the old nails project.
