In Memoriam.
God in bis infinite wisdom has called
from among us (mother of our mem
bers; this time, our much beloved
brother and father in Israel, T. L. Har
ris.
This dear old servant of God, nnd
friend of man fell asleep to awaken
no more on earth at fi i\ \i , Jan. 24,
1806, He was horn Aeg. 10, lsl7. mak
ing his stay on earth beyond life’s
usual limit, nearly eighty-eight years.
He was married to Caroline Harriat
Feb. 11, lS-Kt, and with her joined the
Baptist church at Providence,' Troup
county, in lK-tfi. Eighty-eight years in
this world, three score of these spent
in the Master’s vineyard. For a n»m-
lier of years he was chorister, clerk and
deacon of our church.
What a record ! A life full of years,
and fall of the marks of the blessed
Lord. How sad was the message to
us. that “Grandpa" Harris was dead.
But we could truly say of him; "Bless
ed are the dead which die in tho
Lord."
How well to mark the career of such
a man. This life was a blessing; ns lie
lived, so he died, a spectacle of faith,
trust, nnd resignation. Mingled with
our tears is the sweet assurance of his
eternal joy.. He fought the good light,
he kept the faith, he ran with patience
the race God gave him, but the race is
ended, the silver cord is loosed, and
the pure spirit of dear “Grandpa” has
returned to him who gave it . He has
gone to join his angel companion who
preceded him thirteen years, and oth
ers of the redeemed host.
For several years he lias been eon-
lined at home, shut in from active du
ties. but he was never heard to mur
mur or complain. He spent most of
his time in reading his Bible, and often
remarked that he was just waiting for
the Lord to call him. His Bible and his
church, the singing of Spiritual songs ;
the company of his brethren ; and the
name and cause of Christ were exceed
ingly precious to him. He bore in his
body, the marks and images of Christ,
living in peace with his neighbors and
friends, and beloved by all who knew
him. Would it were in our power to
portray his noble character as it really
was, but, oh. how our language fails
us, when we would describe the char
acter of this grand old patriarch !
How many fair and noble forms has
mother earth inclosed in her bosom
during the last twelve months, and
how sad to give up. but may we bo en
abled to say. "The Lord giveth aim
the L.ml taketli away, blessed be the
name of the Lord.”
When we read of the great blessing
that is promised to those who die in
the Lord, we can say rest on dear
ones, we would not call you back to
die again. “Oh! how sad it would be
were it not for a precious hope w hich
reaches beyond the vale of tears!
Therefore, dear triends, let us not
mourn as those who have no hope.
Brother Harris was buried in the
family cemetery, by the side of his
dear companion, to await the call of
his Master in the resurrection morn
ing.
To the bereaved family and friends,
we exteud our deepest sympathy, and
point them forward to the time when
they shall dwell with him and all God's
people in the light of eternity.

Resolutions on the Death
of Mrs. M. J. Morgan.
Our sister, Mrs. M. J. Morgan,
who was called from this field of
labor to her reward March L"dth,
was born in this city seventy eight
years ago. and united with the
liaptist church when fifteen years
of age.
She was a charter member of
the Woman’s Missionary Society,
and for a long time held the of
fice of secretary. She was a
ready conversut ionlisb and gifted
writer, and as secretary, her min
utes were as carefully written t s
though she was doing it as a lov
ing service to her Lord. We will
sadly m'ss her for no member was
more un (lagging in interest,
prompt m attendance, or etuoyed
tttfi exercises more, particularly
the song service in which she al
ways joined.
In her last illness to a friend
who said to her, “wo miss you
from our meeting,” she replied,
“1 love Thy Kingdom, Lord, the
house of Thine abode; the church
the dear Redeemer bought with
His own precious blood.”
She considered it a privilege to
share her means with every good
work, and her last contribution
was the Christmas offering for
China. Wo learn from her life
and example, that riches may
take to themselves wings; loved
ones he buried from our sight;
the endless processions of passing
generations come and go; Imt. the
love of God, and the presence of
the living Christ, will compensate
for all, and abide with us through
all vicissitudes till lie comes for
Ins own. As a society, wo offer
tho following resolutions:.
1st. That we have lost a faith
ful member; one who was regular
in attendance and willing to per
form her part to the extent of her
ability.
2d. That her love for iter church
and society should be emulated
by us.
!5rd. We will tenderly cherish
her memory, and some sweet day
hope to meet her in tho Heavenly
Real Estate Deal.
The Martin place was sold this
week by Col. W. W. Wisdom to
Mr. J. T. Armstrong, of Hogans
ville, the purchase price being
$4000.00.
Mr. Armstrong will move hit
family to LaGrange in about thir
ty days. He will become associ
ated with Col. Wisdom under the
firm name of Armstrong & Wis
dom. to deal in real estate, stocks!
and bonds.
Mr. Armstrong is a nice gentle
man and he and his family will
be quite an acquisition to our
town, both in a business way and
socially.

A Nice Job.
A reporter for this paper hap
pened around by the carriage
factory of Mr. W. D. Miller, a
day or two ago and was attracted
by a job just completed which is
worth more than ordinary men
tion. It is the large two-horse
victoria owned by Mr. W. A.
Holmes, and which has been un
dergoing a thorough overhauling,
repairing and painting. The trim
ming was done by Mr. Otis Cas
tles, who is one of the tastiest
workman to be found'iu his line.
The painting, by Mr. Lewis
Cleaveland, is equal to that found
in any shop in the south. On the
whole, the victoria, which is now
worth $1,200. approximately, is a
handsome piece of work, and is a
great credit to this popular shop.
Itisno wonder that Mr. Miller
keeps busy. His work gives satis
faction, and he has all that he
cau do.
