18. Why do preachers fail to
decry the evil? Too many guilty
themselves.
14. Why some pastors ure no

use unclean vessel.
15. Why have many no respect
for saving power of the blood?
Pastor denies its power to save
from tobacco habit.
Little power has the blood to
save from penalty, if it can not
save from power of sin.

she lost her strength and vigor,
and became a mere wreck of her
former self. Then she tried Elec

healthy.” Bradlield Drug Co.

Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Hudson are
convalescent from an attack of
lagrippe.
On last Thursday evening our
community was very much shock-
} ed to hear of Mitchell Hudson’s
death. He had not been well for
sometime and his death was not
unexpected, yet when the end
came the shock was almost un
endurable. Mitchell was twenty-
three years old and had been a
consistent member of the Baptist
Church for a number of years.
Ever ready to do his duty and
lend a helping hand to those in
distress, he had won for himself
many friends who regret to give
’ him up. He leaves a father, moth- I
er, brothers and sisters whose
heads are bowed down in grief
today; but their irreparable loss
is his eternal gain. The funeral
services were conducted at Long
Cane Baptist Church by Dr. A.
B. Vaughn last Friday afternoon
and hish-iHv was laid to rest in
the “city.of the dead” at Long
Cane.

we cannot add to his happiness
nor to his virtues while living,
yet we desire to submit the fol
lowing facts, for the benefit of
all those who are left behind,
that by bis life and departure,
there might be made some lasting
impressions for good upon the
liviug, knowing that he died as
he lived trusting in God. Broth
er Wright was twice married,
The Lord blessed lnm with six
sons and two daughters by his
first wife, and two 6ons by his
second marriage. All survive
him but one sou.
He joined the Baptist church at
County Line, Troup county in
1870, in which he made a useful
and consistent member and dea
con, loyal to liis church, true to
his friends; a citizen whocheer-
fully bore his part in civil affairs,
sacrificing his personal interest
for public good.
HiB death was not a surprise to
us for he had been a patient suff
erer for quite a while, which he
bore without murmur or com
plaint, submitting himselt to the
will of God who doeth all things
well. By his gentle, uncomplain
ing disposition, he won many
friends who regretted to give him
up yet feeling that our loss is his
eternal gain.
Brother Wright was laid to rest
at the family burying ground
near his home, his pastor, Rev.
T. T. Davis, conducting the ser
vices. He was buried with ma
sonic honors, in which fraternity
lie was a member, being master
of Troup Factory lodge lor a num
ber of years. His sons acted as
pall bearers at h>s burial.
Brother Wright enlisted in the
32nd Georgia regiment in 1862
and remuined in the army until
the surrender. He made a true
and brave soldier; he was wound
ed once at Fort Sumter, showing
loyalty to his country; always
found on the side of right. His
days being spent in usefulness
here, when the summons came he
was found waiting like Paul, hav
ing finished his work which God
had given him to do. Thus he
fell asleep to awake in the like
ness of our blessed Christ.
Therefore, be it resolved : That
in the death of brother Wright
the church has lost one of its
strong stays and faithful mem
bers; the community, a worthy
and appreciated neighbor; the
cause of the Master, a faithful
doer and Christian; his children,
a dear and valuable friend and
counselor; his wife a kind and de
voted husband.
Resolved 2nd—That we the
members of this church enter into
a covenant together that we, by
the help of Almighty God, be
obedient to the request so often
