The Methodist Preacher.
Of all the callings and vocations of
earth none is more trying than that of
the Southern Methodist preacher. He is
literally a soldier of the cross, and the
bishop commands. Here this year, per¬
haps yonder another—never longer than
four years in one place—he surrenders
absolutely all hope of home or of fixed
habitation.
Who that has tasted the sweets of
honie and local ties and long friends, of
neighborhood ways and paths, can
doubt the commanding conviction and
solemn duty that moves this man of God
to undertake his strenuous and ill re¬
warded mission?
From the days of Wesley the Methodist
preacher has been among the foremost
forces or right living tnd earnest religion.
He is a man of heart and purpose. He
believes in the blight of sin and certain¬
ty of punishment, and he gives his whole
effort to persuading men to be upright
and flee the wrath to come.
He cares little for the nice points of
theology, though his eulture and learn¬
ing are equal to the best of his age, but
he is skilled in the art of presenting the
living truths of the master’s teachings.
He is forceful, aggressive and persever¬
ing. He fights evil all the time and
looks for evil things to fight.
And yet he is happy. There is a
song on his lips, and he isn’t ashamed or
afraid to sing it before men and devils,
and when the Lord rewards his labors
he shouts a hallelujah that mounts to
the skies.
In the economy of the moral universe
there is a place for all intelligent church
effort, and the Methodist organization
, usefulness powerful
; ‘ has proved the its world’s reform. as a Civiliza¬
factor in
tion owes it a debt which it delights to
pay in reverence aud gratitude.—Hous¬
ton (Texas) Post.
Strength and vigor come of good food,
duly digested. “Force,” a ready-to
: serve wheat and barley food, adds no
! burden, but sustains, nourishes, invigo¬
rates.

Mrs. Eunice Akins, beloved wife of
Mr. Wadkins Akins, departed this life
July 30, this year. As Eunice Pate she
was born December 12, 1878, in Warren
county, Ga. She joined Long Creek
Baptist church in Warren county in
August, 1896, and was baptized by Rev.
T. J. West. In April, 19C2, she married
Mr. Wadkins Akins.
As Eunice Pate Akins she was a de¬
voted and loving wife. Her Christiani¬
ty was always consistent, aud by her
daily walk and consecration set an ex¬
ample that her neighbors, friends and
acquaintances would do well to emulate.
Many loving words, looks and deeds she
bestowed upon her husband and other
relatives. Her charity was of an ex¬
emplary kind. Her married life only
lasted some fifteen mouths but in that
short time she had entwined herself
around the heart-strings of her loving
husband. The tender fnemory in which
she is held by her husband, mother and
near relatives is perhaps a better testi¬
monial of her true worth than any mon¬
ument could be.
' She ie sleeping where the grass
In summer time is green.
Low bending and where the breezes paes
In silence unseen,
For she was meek and dutiful
And sweet aud very fair,
Of 6oid as blithe and beautiful
As spirits of the air.
She is sleeping where the roses
With fragrance bloom in spring,
Where ivy o’er the marble grows
And birds low carols sing
From willows drooping slenderly
For she was young and gay
Of heart and loved as tenderly
The glad sunshine as they.
She is sleeping where the sod
And all that is below
Are mantled in a shroud of God,
The winter’s gift of snow, ,
For her young life was gifted white
On home upon the wind.”

How to Prevent Croup.
It will be good news to the mother of
small children to learn that croup can
be prevented. The first sign of croup
is hoarseness. A day or two before the
attack the child becomes hoarse. This
is soon followed by a peculiar rough
cough. Give Chamberlain’s Cough Rem¬
edy freely as soon as the child becomes
hoarse or even after the rough cough
appears, and it will dispel all symptoms
of croup. In this way all danger and
anxiety may be avoided. This rem¬
edy is used by many thousands of
mothers and has never been known to
fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that
can always be depended upon and that
is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by

HARD TO BELIEVE.
We admit it is hard to hoi ie ve that you can buy a beautiful
high-grade introduce handy top buggy for $59.50. be However, we will
the evidence and allow you to the judge. How
can it be done? We do strictly a cash business and cut out
all allowances for bad debts, bookkeepers’ salaries, collecting
expenses, etc. We only charge you for the buggy you get
and make no assessment, for the “other fellows.” Doesn’t
this appeal to your business sense? The dealer who gets $75
to $85 for a similar job “on time” is simply obliged to assess
the good for the bad. He may not make public acknowl¬
edgment of the fact, hut if he has had any experience selling
goods on time, he will got back in a corner, away from the
have “public faith gaze” and admit it to liimseH, He knows it. We
in our position and are anxious to produce the evi¬
dence. Will you come in and examine this work? If not
coming to Athens soon, write for further particulars. We
can ship on receipt of order. Write NOW, before our pres¬
ent assortment is broken.
