Fitzgerald’s |iV it)| babe, who died last Friday even ing, and was interred in the Hayne ville cemetery Saturday evening. It was a bright and promising little child. We extend our sympathies ■to the bereaved parents. We had a nice rain Saturday -evening and all is lovely.

On Tuesday, May 27th, 1902, af ter an illness of ten days, little Eu nice, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Birdsong, aged 15 months, was called to her heavenly ihome. Thus it has pleased an All-wise Providence to take away this little •angel, the idol of an affectionate •father and mother* Eunice was a •bright and interesting babe. She was loved by all who knew her, so ssweet and delicate was she. May God give grace to help the dear father a^d mother bear cheer fully this sore bereavement, for she •is only asleep in Jesus. “Eunice drew the mantle o’er her— Hid her sorrow and her grief; And in heaven we will find her, -.‘Saved by mercy and belief. But little ohildren need not fear, If they will keep the Savior near; He came to nave them with the rest, .And she with others has been blest. He knows the trials they must bear, He knows their need of tender care; He came and died upon tde tree, 'That they from bondage might be free. 'Farewell, sweet Eunice i ine, Farewell to thy mortal clay; By-by to t. 'y happy soul, We’ll meet again some day. farewell, farewell, Eunice, we see you there, .Beokoning with ihy dear little hand, And with the angels bright and fair, We’ll meet you in that heavenly land.” Cousin Eunice. Recently there have been many -evidences that American industry- is surely gaining prestige in England •in competition with the manufactur ers of that country, and the London Black and White recently published -the following significant declaration; -“Very soon there will be little left hers in which the United States does not either wholly possess or hold a ruling share. What we wear, what we eat, the tools we use, from our pens and writing desks to the ■machines that run the workshop and •the foundry and the furnace, all 'these, and more, are American. There is not a market in which American competition is not pressing English manufacturers harder and harder.” Elko Etchings. From the Insurance Press we learn ffchat in the United States, posses sions of the United States and Can ada the life insurance companies paid in death claims last year $217,- 162,530. Of this amount beneficia ries in Georgia received $3,137,171. The grand total of all payments, in cluding annuities, dividends, surren der values, and claims paid in for eign countries, was $290,881,591. The receipts of the companies in ^premiums on policies, etc., are not given, but it is safe to say they ag gregated very near to one billion -dollars. Judge Gober of Marietta has en tered suit for $20,000 for damages against Mr. Thomas B. Brady, also of Marietta. Judge Gober alleges that he had agreed, to purchase an iee plant from Brady, who accepted the proposition in writing. Judge Gober offered payment at the lime arranged, but,Brady failed to deliv er the property, which had been by that time sold to.anotker party.

After a short illness, God in His infinite wisdon called to His bosom last Friday the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Fitzgerald. Little Gladys was a bright and very sweet child and was tiff sun shine of that home which is now so dark. We all sympathize with the sad mother and father, but they should grieve not, for God knows best. “One precious to those hearts is gone, The voice they loved is still; The place made vacant in their home Can never more b9 filled. “Our Father in His wisdom called The boon His love had given; And though on earth her body lies, The soul i^ save in Heaven. “Farewell, dear Gladys, farewell, We must say our last farewell; Peacefully be thy rest: Slumber sweetly, God knew best When he called thee home to rest. “Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep. “A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes.” Hayneville, Ga.

Then shall I kuow.—1 Cor..18:12. We some.t'itries speak of Christ ians as professors of religion... It would startle us somewhat to say that this man, of that, is a pro fessor of irreligion, I am ac quainted with a very amiable man who delieves in the immor tality of the soul, but makes no inquiry concerning that truth which is unchangable forever. He seems to accept any belief or un belief that is not disagreeble to himself. He does not read the Word which ie said to be a dis-. cerner of the thoughts aind in tents of the heart, nor does he go to church any more. Not only is he disinclined,- but perhaps he is unconsciously afraid. _ He has ha‘d experience , of conviction, < and thinks this dreadful experience resulted from going to church. And it did, He absents himself, therefore, to avoid that which no one seeks, and no one quite es capes, Perhaps no other work of grace is wrought in a man. with out his consent, so that, ill a pe culiar sense, conviction indicates the inconceivable solicitude of God for man—not His anger. The man to whom all this re fers expresses the belief that he will go to heaven. He would not expect to arrive at any other place without going towards it. He seems to be unfair to himself, where tremendous issues are in volved. I said to him, very soon we shall know what is truth. If the reader has sufficient courage and is fairminded, he will do well to pause here and consider very seriously that very soon we shall know. And now we have come to the dreamland of unbelief, where vagueness, uncertainty and sur mise possess the mind. What shall we do? How shall we pre pare for the imminent revelation of truth? Wherefore do we ask the question and reject the an swer? What we need to learn is urged upon us every day. Dives was concerned about"his brothers and prayed that one should be sent from the dead to warn them. Abraham said to him, they have Moses and the prophets. Lazarus had no more, nor needed more. He simply accepted what was ac corded to him, and there were an gels in attendance when their ministry was needed. Some one will say that having Moses and the Prophets, we may not understand what they have written. Let us be candid with ourselves and admit that this rle- dends on our willingness or un willingness to learn. There was a man who traveled' from Jerusa lem towards Egypt and read what Isaiah had written, and because his own mental powers were in sufficient for his needs, sufficiency was supplied to linn. Wo know therefore that he was sincere, and must conclude that sincerity finds the truth it seeks. What God hag done one time indicates the mind of God forever, there being no variableness in Him. What He did for the Ethiopian He will do in some perfect maimer for ev ery man. Some things are not taught/but he betrays his own in sincerity who fails to learn what ever he really needs to know. The Wise Men of the East came nut of the shadows seeking the light of life. First of all they were wise to understand that shadows indi cate that there is light some where. Being observed with just a little care, they also indicate the direction of the light. But something intervenes, or there would be no shadows, and a doubt ful mind may ask, is not the way obstructed? These men had suf ficient knowledge for the day, add sufficient faith for the morrow. Just when wayside inquiry avail ed them nothing, a star appeared to guide them, and somehow, they knew why it appeared. It is said that in the way they pursued, a wayfaring man need not err. Tins star was not evolved in any Dar winian sense, but was opportune ly sent to men who were in ear nest quest of truth. The star was not of this system, or any other, but its supernatural coming and going disturbed none of tbe natural laws. The man ner of this timely guidance will not recur, but the meaning of it continues forever. Conditions be ing aiikp. the same truth will be verified to every man, or instan taneous chaos will result. What I have endeavored to de clare is that in a little while we shall MJJI even as also we ate known. It is important to learn while here, and possible to learn as muoh as we must know. And I especially undertake to, say that while God sends Philip to the Ethiopian/ and Peter to Cornelius, He also Sends the Holy Spirit tQ teach that which is spir itually discerned. R.
