BY SOCKS.
Deputy Sheriff Riley,accompanied
by Mr. H. R. Ragin, passed oyer the
Hill one day last week and caused
considerable excitement among the
coons. The gentlemen mixed a.lit
tle pleasure with business by bring
ing their shotguns and bird dog.
The pointer was a handsome fellow,
but no doubt looked immense and
savage to evil-doers. At any rate,
the word soon passed with lightning
rapidity that the officers had come
down with a blood-hound and win
chester rifles to run down some ter
rible criminal, and expectation was
on tip-toe throughout the day.
It has rained for over a week on
the Hill, the ground has become
water-logged and every little stream,
became a rushing riverlet. Much
damage to the public roads from
washing, eto., is reported. We had
two hail storms Saturday, but
the stones were small and but little
damage was done.
Politics is warming some and if
the lick keeps up the pot will be
foiling before the campaign fairly
opens. We have been informed of
one big bet on a race for county
office, but we didn’t see any money
go up.
Farming is almost at a standstill
just now, but we were ready for the
rain, and will be on time to sail in
again when the waters will allow.
In the meantime the neighbors are
very social, etc.
Our neighbor has just given us a
lively description of the social quali
ties of a visitor to the Hill. The
visitor spent the evening with our
friend, left his horse with another,
and regretted that he didn’t bring
his dog to feast all around.
We regret to learn of the serious
illness of Mr. J. A. Hickson with
pneumonia.
Mr. F. W. Pool of near Henderson
made a business trip to the Hill last
week.
Misses Jones dined with friends
on the Hill Sunday.
In Memory of Mrs. Hartley.
With reference to the life and
character of Mrs. Elbert Hartley,
who died on the 18th of February,
the following tribute was written
last week by “Sub,” our Powersville
correspondent:
“Mrs. Hartley lived thirty years a
devoted and consistent member of
the Primitive Baptist church. Her
life, as a friend, a neighbor, a wife,
a mother, was a model of pure Chris
tian womanhood, a bright and shin
ing example of love, peace and en-.
couragement to all those around her.
She was very much devoted to her
children, always ready, to sacrifice
her life for their comfort and pleas
ure. She lived to see all her chil
dren grown to be useful men and
women. While her bereaved ones
miss her sorely, lr ay they be recon
ciled to the will of God and receive
grace to meet her above where
death comes no more.
“She was conscious of approach
ing death, and was willing and
ready to go.”

In Memory of Little J. T. Kemper.
On February 13th the home of
Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Kemper was sad
dened by the death of. their darling
little boy, J. T., aged two years and
three months. He had only t>een
sick three days when God came
with His dear, sweet arms and
plucked him as a precious little
flower of health. He was taken
with membranous croup, and every
thing that devoted parents ond phy
sician could do was done to- relieve
him.
He has left a vacant little chair
which can never be filled. So often
he would take his shoes and ask his
papa to help, him put them on, and
mama and papa were ever ready to
answer his sweet little calls. We
know ’tis hard, but God knows best.
Grieve not, dear papa and mama,
for ’tis wrong to be so deeply filled
with sorrow, for he is not dead, but
sweetly sleeping in Heaven.
. Relatives and friends deeply sym
pathize with the bereaved parents.
The precious one is asleep in Jesus,
blessed sleep, which none ever wake
to weep; Aunt Mamie.

—Tax Collector Davidson was
in Perry Tuesday on business. He
says,though all the executions for
1901 taxes have not beou collect
ed, the final showing will compare
favorably with other years. Mr.
Davidson says he has been persua
ded by friends to offer for re-elec

the race, as his woM has been giv

Letter to Mr. J. P. Cooper,
Perry, Ga.
Dear Sir: We pay for newspaper
space to address you, and scorn a 2
cent postage stamp because we fear
a letter through the usual channel
would not receive the prompt atten
tion we can conscientiously claim
for an offer that is unusual. Want
to give you or any of your friends
that intend painting this spring
some paint for nothing. To any
one sending us dimensions of house,
and number of coats of paint to be
put on, we will at once write advis
ing how many gallons we give “free
of charge,” and also memorandum
of some pretty and pleasing combi
nations of colors. Several well-
painted houses in ypur town for our
salesmen to show the merchants will
greatly help us in establishing ah
agency, and that is why we are
making so liberal an offer. Mercan
tile agencies rate us at the top; been
making L. & M. Paint’ for 30 years;
have sold enough to make a chain
of paint cans around the world; you
thin L. & M. with linseed oil same
as white lead; costs less, covers as
well, and lasts longer than lead.
Better investigate.
Truly yours,

A Society Funeral.
A member of the Good Saraari-
Society of Smyrna Baptist church,'
colored, of this county, died Jon
the 27th of Jan., 1902, whose fu
neral was preached by Rev. S.
Johnson on the 2nd day of March,
1902, at Smyrna church.
His text-, was ‘‘For we know
that, if our earthly house of this
tabernacle were dissolved, wi
have a building of God, a hous-
not made with hands, eternal ii
the heavens.”
The sermon was preached wit I
power and all eeemed determined
to get into, or be placed into the
position to have such a hoihe
when done with earthly life.
The whole society turned out in
the newly made regalias, and
made an impression on the con
gregation.
This soeioty has more than one
huhdred members, who generally
meet once a month.
