On the morning of Feb. 20th, the golden sunlight of happiness was dimmed for all time in a pleasant, hospitable country home in Houston county when the gentle spirit of Mrs. Nettie Hickson took its flight to a better land. For thirty-two years she had been the presiding genius of that hearthstone and the center of influences, goodness, use fulness and helpfulness that radiated as far and wide as her large circle of acquaintances extended. She was born in Upson county Nov.'12, 1842, removed to Barnes- ville in early childhood and spent the first twenty-seven years of her life in and near this place. On Feb. 22nd, 1869, she was married to Mr. James A. Hickson, of Houston coun ton county, and it was from the home to which he* carried her as a bride that her body was borne to*its last resting place in the bbautiful Evergreen cemetery at Perry juat one day before the anniversary of her marriage. She was a woman of strong char acter, broad intelligence, gentle man ners, and the kiadest, tenderest heart. A life-long Methodist, she lived her religion in as much as, Christ-like, “she went about doing good.” The only test by which a noble life can be tried is the work accom plished by it in this: world, and by that we estimate its worth. The numbers of peoplo of all ages and. both sexes who went through the storm and cold of those bleak Feb ruary days to look upon the calm, still face and to tell in broken voices how she had nursed them in sick ness, cheered them in affliction, and helped them in need, could give no higher testimony of the beauty and fullness of her life. She was called the “Mother of the Community,” and in many households her loss is felt scaroely less keenly than by her only child—herself a life-long suf ferer—who bows in patient submis sion to this crushing blow. It has been said that the pen which dares to trace the life of a good man or woman should be shaped from a feather that had fall en from an angel’s wing. This fal tering pen but craves the privilege of a faint tribute to the love and tenderness which enriched our child hood and has been our stay and comfort amid the sorrows and suf fering of maturer years When the travelers in the caravans that stretch in long lines across the great desert of Africa, worn and exhausted be neath the burning sun are almost reandy to stop aud let their bodies mark the pathway for others to fol low, there oonies down the line a joyful ory from some one far ahead who catches a glimpse of an oasis in the distance; hope is renewed and feeble footBtepB press forward to safety. So when this precious sis ter, as she neared the “Sweet Fields of Eden” and saw before the waving green of the Tree of Life, called back: “I am so glad! I am so glad!” her words come to us who are wea ry with the journey as a blessed in spiration to press on to that Happy Land where we Bhall see her again. Augusta R, Lambdin. Between the ages of fifteen and forty-five, the time when woman hood begins and motherhood ends, it is estimated that the aggregate term of woman’s suffering is ten years. Ten years out of thirty! One-third of the best part of a woman’s lifd saorificed! Think of the enormous loss of time! But time is not all that is lo^t. Those years of suffering steal the bloom from the cheeks, the bright ness from the eyes, the fairness from the form. They write their record in many a crease and wrin kle. What a boon then to woman is Dr, Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip tion. It promotes perfect regu larity,dries up debilitating draius, heals ulceration, cures female weakness, and establishes the del icate womanly organs in vigorous and permanent health. No other medicine can do for woman what is done by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. — Some people have the mistaken idea that they are suffering from enlargement of the heart, when the trouble is enlargement of the head. —Exchange.

One of the most encouraging feat ures in southern agriculture is the rapid increase in the production of hay and forage crops. Time was when all the money the southern planters made from the sales of their cotton—that is, when the crop was short—had to be ex pended in hay and other feed for the live stock; indeed, as late as 1860 nearly all the hay used in the south was shipped from the northern states, and the belief generally prev alent was that southern soil and cli mate were unBuited to the growth of hay grasses. Even up to 1880 comparatively few tons of southern grown hay were produced. The census figures of that date show a production of only 1,412,964 tons, grown or> 1,716,805 acres, which is only .82 of a ton to the acre. By 1890 this useful crop had increased three-fold in the southern states, and the yield had increased 35 per cent. The year 1900 showed a production of 3,730,053 tonB, grown on 2,648,046 acres, showing a yield of 1.48 tons to the acre and an increase in yield, of 80 per cent. It is worthy of note that the aver age.yield for the United States out stripped the northern states. There can be no doubt, from the evidence of these figures, but that one greatly desired improvement in southern agriculture has been made; and there is reason to hope, from other indications, that our farmers will soon recognize the desirability of raising all products necetsary for home consumption. — ^-#*<4 > The Beer Was on His Daddy. Editor Shaver tells the story of a public school teacher who received one day the following letter from the father of one of her pupils: “Deer Miss—Will you in the fu ture give ray son easier somes to do at nites? This is what he has brought home two or three nites back: If fore gallons of beer will fill thirty-two pint bottles, how many pints and half bottles will nine gallons fill? Well, we tried and could make nothing of it at all, and my boy cried and laughed and sed he didn’t dare go back in the mprnin’ without doin’ it. So I had to go and buy a nine gallon keg of here, which I could ill afford to do, and then he went and borrowed a lot of wine and brandy bottles. We filled them and my boy put the number down for an answer. I don’t know whether it is right or not, as we spilt some while doing it. P. S.—Please let the next some be in water, as I am not able to buy more bere.”—Thomasville Times. Critics. None but the initiated know the intricacies of a grinting office. The average reader who detects a mis spelled word or a letter upside down feels that his mission on earth is not fully accomplished until he has call ed the attention of the over-worked editor to the glaring defect. He does not notice the thousands of letters that are in the- right place nor the multitude of words that are correctly spelled, but his eagle eye is glued on the one that is out of plaoe. So with our deeds. Man does a thousand good things and no attention is paid to them; but if he makes one mistake it is flashed all over the world. A life time may be spent in building up a reputation that may be wrecked in a moment. The world is a harsh critic, exaoting to a fault, and if the Father of all does not temper justice with mercy we may fail of heaven.—Marietta Journal.
