In Memoriam.
Last Thursday about eleven
-o’clock, God called the geutle
spirit ol Mrs. J. A. Heath to that
better world beyond where no 9or-
low nor suffering ever comes.
Mrs. Heath wa9 the daughter of
Mr, and Mrs. T. J. Dunlap. She
■was married to Mr. J. A. Heath
dn 1875 and was a devoted wife
.and mother until her death. She
was loved by all that knew her.
In early girlhood she gave her
Iheart to God and united with the
Baptist church. In all Christian
-work among the high and lowly
her presence is missed. Lonely,
oh 1 so lonely will ever be the
.home she is to enter no more.
She leaves a husband, six chil
dren, two sisters, one brother, a
fond mother and a host of friends
fo mourn her loss.
We feel like God has taken her
-out of all her suffering and taken
her home, where the weary are at
rest, yea, rest forever, in that
fullness of love, where no trouble
■can come, and, no doubt, but she
■could say to her children and
friends: “Weep not for me; but
weep for yourselves and your
children who are left here in this
world to suffer until the change
-comes.”
Why will wo grieve after those
that have gone from all their
trouble and sorrow, never to re
turn into it any more?
Her loving niece,
Eva Smith, LaGrauge, Ga.
fluttered against its prison bars ot
clay, and seemed oftentimes, about
towing its flight heavenward;
but time passed on, and as
Mitchell grew to boyhood and
then to young manhood, how the
hearts of the whole family went
out to him, how they loved him,
how they depended upon him.
And he, frail as he still was, how
energetic, how faithful, ever ready
to dolus part, helpful always.
His purity of character, his
love of his parents, Ins ardent de
sire to do no wrong, his sweet in
ner life reflected in his^face ren
dered him attractive, and] made
him beloved. There was Jno guile
in his heart, no impurity] on lus
lips, but moral, upright, modest,
obedient, respectful always, what
wonder that he became the pet of
the home 1 But Mitchell realized
how frail was his hold on mortal
life, how quickly, “the silver
cord,” might be loosed, so^Jmade
preparation for the immortal lite,
by accepting Jesus as his Saviour,
and some years ago united with
the Long Cane Baptist Church.
Ever ready when called upon to
“speak a word for Jesus,” faith
ful to every duty, shirking no re
sponsibility, showing to the world
the religion he professed, he was
ready, when on the morning of
the ninth of March, 1905 he heard
the voice of Jesus calling, “My
boy come home.”
Sweetly, calmly, gently borne
ou the wings of angels, his spirit
returned to God who gave it, and
“Mitchell.” had triumphed over
death, and 19 now among the re
deemed in the beautiful man
sions of God.
Dear parents, brothers, sisters,
grieve not for Mitchell, for with
his weakness laid aside forever,
there is joy in heaven, and his
pirit is bathed in the effulgence
of glory at meeting with the
blood-washed throng.
The face of the cloud nearest us
may be black as jet, but its inner
lining next to heaven slimes like
molten silver, and its edges li
burnished gold, as it catches the
beams of inner glory, shining
through the, “Gates ajar,” aB the
loved one passed into his ever
lasting abode. “Behind a frown
ing Providence He hides a smil
ing face,” bright with mercy and
luminous w ith Love.

James Mitchell Hudson.
In the lovely month of June
1882, there came into the home of
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Hudson of
Long Cane, a dear baby boy,
whom the parents christened,
“James Mitchell Hudson.”
With anxious care and fond
eolicitude they watched over him,

And I no more as now shall sing,
But oh! the joy when 1 awake,

The “Butter-in.”
Of all the pests upon this earth,
Put here to bother men,
The lowest worth that e’er had
birth
Is the nervy “Butter-iu.”
At anything just anywhere,
He’s there nine times in ten ;
He does not care just so he’s
there,
Nor waits to hear: “Come in.”
No invitation need be sent—a
needless use of pen,
You can’t prevent the culprit bent
^Ou rashly butting in.”
You can’t insult this head of flint,
Of brains so scarce and thin,—
The time you’ve spent in giving

Is vain for old “Butter-in.” .

M. No. 115:
Your committee appointed to
draft a memorial of our deceased
brother, George Wright, submit
he following. Again in the provi
dence of an allwise Father we are
ailed to mourn the loss of one of
our beloved companions, Brother
George Wright. Brother Wright
was born in Meriwether county,
Nov. 14, 1824, and died at his
home in Troup county, Feb. 5,
1905. Brother Wright hii9 lived
in our midst for more than a half
a century and there has never
been a breath of suspicion whis
pered against his fair name. For
rugged honesty, strict sincerity
and a sacred love of truth, Broth
er Wright had no superior. He
joined the church at County Line
in 1878 and till the day of his
his death he held the implicit
confidence of his brethren. Asa
mason few men loved and illus
trated the tenets of our myi tic
order in a more marked degree
than did our deceased brother;
as a husband and father he was a
model worthy of all imitation;
as a neighbor lie was without i
fault; as a citizen he was the em
bodiment of every private and so
cial virtue. While regretting his
loss we feel grateful that he was
spared to live bo long in our
midst as a living illustration of
pure manhood and unsullied
Christian character.
To his bereaved family we say
it has been said that an honest
man is the noblest work of God
if this be true, you are the chil
dren of a noble ancestor and you
possess the priceless logacy of ail
untarnished name and wo implore
you to imitate his example, fol
low in his footsteps, that you
bring no reproach upon the
uutarnished name you hear. To
his brethren we say, cherish his
memory, practice his virtues that
it may be said of us as of him;
mark the perfect man and behold
the upright for the eud of that
man is peace.

Will Troup Have an Exhibit? She
Cannot Afford Not to Have
One of the Best.
In conversation with.some of
our prominent farmers, among
them Col. A. T. Dallis, we learn
that in order to have a creditable
exhibit, at our next, state fair we
should begin now to plan for it.
Mr. Dallis is very much inter
ested and says Troup cannot af
ford to miss any opportunity to
exhibit her products, nnd espec
ially such a one, as we will have
at Atlanta this fall.
Would it not be well for our
arrnera to begin now, at the
planting time, to prepare for the
best exhibit our county lias ever
made? Can they not plant and
ultivate with a view to entering
certain products next fall for a
premium? Special care and at-
ention could he given to the
nisingof hogs, cows and poultry
or this purpose, also.
By everyone giving this matter
due consideration now and all
planning and working to one com
mon end, we can astonish even
ourselves this fall.
With such men as, A. T. Dallis
and Geo. W. Truitt to take a
hand and encourage others in the
movement, we are sure to have a
most creditable exhibit, and we
can assure our fanner friends that
The Reporter will assist them in
any way possible.
We would be pleased to have an
expression from those interested
..ml any suggestions would be in
order.

“A Satan’s Trap.”
Reporter:
Please have the following in
sorted in your columns in this
week’s issue if possible.
“A SATAN’S TRAP.”
After seeing the awful effects of
the “Drug” sold here in the
heart of our beautiful city from
an establishment known as the
“dispensary,” you may have soino
idea why I headed this article
“A Satan’s Trap.”
It is a place where so many
young men take their first step to
their doom. It bus caused the
hearts of many a mother, wife
and child to throb with pain as
their drunken husbands, sons
and futhors come staggering home
full of whiskey and roady to com
mit deeds of violence.
Take this incident; I have seen
fathers offer their sons a drink.
Dear friends, what does this mean
to that boy 1 It means the first
stop to ruin. It is a crushing
blow that sends that boy to a
fate from which few escape.
Is this beautiful city of “Elms
and Roses” to be dragged to ruin
by such an awful thing as a
Dispensary?
“The future of LaGrauge?”
“The people alone must decide.”
“G”
Let us illustrate vividly the difference in mean
ing of the words might and will—the child might
live j the child will live. Might implies doubt; will
meant certainty. Might 1 ive means might die;
will live means will not die.
Those two words aptly illustrate tlie difference
between Johnson’s Tome and the horde of commer
cial remedies on the market, and that vast horde of
inert professional remedies which only bear tho
sanction of the High Priests of medicine.
USE JOHNSON’S TONIC
in a bad case of Grip and you will livel
Use inert, or commercial products, and
you might live.
Johnson’s Tonic quickly drives out every trace
and taint of Grip. It is not simply good, it is su
premely good—not good ns anything, but better than
every tiling—a genuine life-saver. Those who beliovo
in it are safe—doubters are in danger and jeopardize
their lives. Summed up, Johnson’s Chill nnd Fever
Tonic is tho best Grip medicine on earth. This is
tl>o sober, serious, earnost truth.
