KO. 45.
Written for the Home Journal.
On the evening of Sept. 4, 1902,
the angel of death took from our
midst our beloved pastor, friend and
brother, Rev. J. E. Powell,
r He was born in Thomas county
February 16th, 1858, and lived to
young manhood in his native com
munity* where he acquired some
schooling and was inspired with the
noble desire to be or to do some
thing for his Master, having united
with the Baptist church while quite
a young man. He made some sac
rifices and eqdured much to enable
himself to gain an education, grad
uating at Mercer University about
1883. ,
He served many churches as pas-
tor, and was at the head of several
prominent institutions of learning,
gaining for hinaself a wide reputa
tion as teaoher in the true sense of
the word—an obedient disciple of
the Lord.
He was called to the pastorate of
our church in November, 1895, and
Boon won the esteem and confidence
of his people, being faithful to duty,
and yet loving and tender in all his
appeals. He was loved more as he
would go in and out among us by
the whole community, as he was by
all who knew him wherover he went.
He had recently moved into oiir
community to labor more efficiently,
if possible, with those whom he
loved and who loved him, and the
hearts of the people of the entire
community were rejoicing and sing
ing his praises when, lo! all our ex
pectations and high hopes were
dashed to pieces and joy was chang
ed to grief, the light-hearted were
made to sorrow, and all was brought
to despair and gloom. The church
without a pastor, the school without
teacher, the community lost its
best friend; wife without a husband
and baby boy without a father.
Truly “God doth work mysteriously
His wonders to perform.”
Therefore be it Resolved, That
while in all our grief and sorrow
and gloom wo rejoice in the fact
that there is sweet comfort and
peace to those who trust the Lord,
for He hath assured us that “all
things work together for good to
them that love Him,” and that we
submit wholly and completely to
His divine will, and labor on wait
ing and hoping for the better things
in store for us.
2nd. That though in this trying
time we would not forget the be
reaved family, and wish to assure
them of our love and esteem for the
dear departed and truly sympathize
with them, and will continually pray
God to surround them with His
comforting and fatherly care that
they may finally rejoice in that hap
py union in eternity where there is
no parting for those who love and
Berve the Lord.
3rd. That a copy of these reso
lutions be presented to the bereaved
family, published in the Christian
Index and Houston Home Journal,
and made a part of our minutes.
Done by order of the Church, in
conference Oct. 6th, 1902.

Breaking into a ,blazing home

sleeping inmates from death. Fan
cied security and death near. It’s
that way when you- neglect coughs
and colds. Don’t do it. Dr
King’s New Discovery for Con
sumption gives perfect protection
against all throat, chest and lung
troubles. Keep it near and avoid
suffering, death, and doctor’s bills.
A teaspoonful stops a late cough,
persistent use the most stubborn.

Now that arbitration of the dif
ferences between the miners and the
operators has been agreed upon, and
the com mission has been appointed,
speculation is rife as to the probable
views of the commissioners. From
past utterances it is thought that
Bishop Spaulding and E. E. Clark
will be favorable to the miners,
while Edward Parker and T. H.
Watkins will lean towards the oper
ators. The unknown quantities in
the problem are Judge George Gray
and General James Wilson. Being
prominent democrat, it would
seem most natural for Judge Gray
to be found on the side of the min
ers. Being a soldier and a republi
can, it would be a reasonable thing
if General Wilson should be found
on the side of the coal trust. Then,
on every sharply disided issue, the
vote would probably be equally di
vided, and the result be indetermin
ate. Commissioner Wright, who will
preside, will have no vote, it is un
derstood.
There being six members of the
commission, it will take a two-thirds
vote to make finding on any of the
points in dispute. This being true,
and the predilections of the com
missioners being as stated, the
award will no doubt be unsatisfac
tory to both parties; but inasmuch
as both parties are pledged to abide
the decision, the result will be a
temporary peace. The commission
has no power to enforce its awards,
and its deliberations cannot result
in any permanent settlement. The
causes underlying the strike will not
be removed. The test of strength
between the strong arm and the
long purse will not have been decis
ive. The final struggle will simply
have been postponed to some future
day. Meantime, however, it is pos
sible that congress may take the
general question of strikes in hand,
and make provision for enforced ar
bitration. That would seem to be
the only way of averting bloodshed
and perhaps revolution—if even that
should be effective.

Guards Patrol White House.
Washington, Oct. 28.—Recently
published criticisms of the extrava
gance and rapid ohanges of mind on
the part of the architects having
charge of the alterations of the
white house have produced a mark
ed effect. Not only 1b the ordinary
citizen barred from the grounds,
which are patrolled by polioemen,
but a ban of seoreoy has been place.d
on every employee of the architects
and contractors, while the employ
ees of the superintendent of public
buildings and grounds are also mys
teriously silent.
A loose-tongued employee in the
office of Colonel Bingham, superin
tendent of buildings and grounds,
recently let slip the information that
the cost of the alteration is much
greater than was contemplated by
congress, amounting to over $600,-
000, which will probably necessitate
the insertion of a fat item in the de
ficiency bill. Much of this surplus
expenditure is being caused by the
rejection of work that was nearly
completed, arising from the fact
that the architect had not matured
his plans before putting them into
execution.
Georgia’s Gold Production.
State Geologist Yates has a show
case outside his department at the
capital in which he exhibits some
splendid nuggets of Georgia gold.
One of these is the largest ever
found in the state, and came from
Cherokee county. Among the spec
imens is a rich sample of float that
was found in Fulton county, 14
miles from Atlanta. Mr. Yates said:
“Gold mining is looking up in
Georgia and several large transac
tions in mines have recently been
made with foreign parties. Most of
the mining heretofore has been plac
ing and hydraulic mining, but now
capital is proposing to work the
veins and there is no telling what
rich developments may be made in
tbis line in the near future. Georgia
once produced most of the gold
used for the United States mint,and
some of us have faith to believe that
she may come very near repeating
the record some day in the future.’

A Discouraged Soldier.
A Kansas militiaman who has
been taking part in the maneuvers
at Fort Riley has, according to the
Kansas City Journal, written thus
feelingly to his father:
“And so the war goes on. I’m
coming home, pa, just as soon as I
can get there. I want to lay aside
my blue pants and put on my blue
overalls again. I have an infinite
yearning to do like some guinea I
read about in history named Gin-
cinnatus or something like that-
want to get hold of a plow again.
Sentiment don’t feel half as good in
a man’s inside as beefsteak and gra
vy and biscuits, and military honor
don’t dry a man when he’s wet half
as much as the fire in the kitchen.
I’m coming home, pa. And in the
future when I hear the bugle blow
and the drum roll, I’m going to hide
under the haystack and let Willie
Bryan save the country, as I hear
he’s hankering after the job.”
Dr. Yung-Wing, who was instru
mental in sending the new Chinese
minister to this country for his edu
cation, was one of the three Chinese
lads brought to this country in-1848
by Rev. Samuel Rollins Brown, who
established the first Protestant Chris
tian school in China.
