OLD CAESAR’S BUDGET. i
Hope Bro. J. L. Houston will re-j
member that the sheep-pen court
will convene now In a few Jays, see?
Old Caesar and K'ld were in pos
session of all the faculties last Friday
at the picnic.
It is said that Buddie (J. W.) Lane
has but little to say at any time, and
it is true, but his eyes can speak
some of the most eloquent - er-er—
- well, we don't blame you, Buddie.
The Midway Freewill Baptist Sun
day School Convention will convene
at Whil*e Plain church, LucNe, on
Friday night before second Sunday In
j May. Let all be present and do our
duty in this grand and noble work.
Mr. Hugh Martin is getting up a pe-'
titlon for a bridge across Sowhatchee j
creek, known as the Walter’s ford ;
Good for you, Hugh, and hope you'
« will succeed. A bridge is badly need
« ed at that place (as tho3e having to
haul heavy loads on that road, know
the ill convenience caused by the hill
at the creek. Put a bridge there
above the high water mark and it
.will do away with at least one-half
the distance of the hill on one side
and all of that low slush part on the
other side. The petition could not
have been placed with any
fldrson tjhan M,r. Hugh Martin to
eludicate the need of a bridge at that
place. The good road work has com
menced in earnest and with the crew
of hands at work now rapid strides
are being made on the first five miles
of the roads leading into the city.
Note this difference: The cost of
hauling in France is six cents per ton
a mile, in this country twenty-five
ceuts per ton a mile. Time, wear
and tear today means more with the
farmer than it did a few years ago.
Will the farmer appreciated the reduc
tion of this rate per ton mile? In
this day of progress and saving, cer
tainly the farmer would appreciate
it. To make this saving will require
better roads. Good roads will en
hance the value of real estate, which
will attract more capital, that will
bring in more settlers of homes, and
in turn the schools will increase, bet
ter farming will take place, which
will Increase the amount of commer
cial commodities, then more roads
and better roads. So nothing Is lost
in good roads, il goes round and round
and every round swells the value at
every point. Should our officers make
a few mistakes now and then, we do
not believe it intentional and while
trying to perform their complicated
duties, if no more, give words of en
couragement.
The Sowhatchee school closed last
Friday with a grand picnic and fish
fry at Sheffield’s Mill. In apprecia
tion of the faithful teachers, Prof.
W. R. Sutton and Miss Mary Rob
erts, and the happy children, who
have worked so hard during the term
of school, the patrons and community
at large left nothing undone to make
it an ideal day. The inclemency of
the weather, to some extent, prevent
ed some of the diversions of the day.
Yet with two hundred and fifty peo
ple present and every one striving to
make it pleasant, It was a “sho nuff”
happy day. At 1:30 o’clock p. m. din
ner was spread in a near by grove.
Old Caesar found himself comfortably |
seated about the center of the line and ;
as his eyes fell on the stacks of good!
things to eat, a shrill voice rang out
"Where shall I meet you?”
We looked and saw Col. J. B. Cham
bers with a half bushel pan of fish
and Jude J. L. Ricks at another place
with same kind of pan full of fish ready
for distribution along the line and
for the space of half an hour full Jus
tice was done to the many delicious
eatables, so the day passed adding
many sweet memories to the hearts
treasures. Prof. W. R. Sutton came
among us a stranger, and during his
stay of five months has won the es
teem and confidence of every one as
a teacher, gentleman ami Christian.
Miss Mary Roberts, the assistant
teacher, is one of the best, if not the
best, lady teacher In the county, a
young lady of many rare accomplish
ments, devoting her life to the task
of teaching. A strong effort will be
made to secure the services of Prof.
W. R. Sutton and Miss Mary Roberts
for another term at this place. Prof.
Sutton left Saturday morning for his
home in Knoxville, Tenn. Miss Mary
Roberts went to her home at Cedar
Springs Friday afternoon.

DEATH OF GEORGIA PYLE.
Georgia, beloved daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. N. Pyle, died April 22,
1909, at her home near Jakin, Ga.
She wa3 sixteen years of age and was
the idol of a devoted father, mother,
two sisters and three brothers, who
are left in sorrow to await the Fath
er’s call to be with her in that blest
home where all is love.
She has been a member of the
Freewill Baptist church for four years
and was dearly loved by all who knew
her. She had been on the bed of af
fliction over two months. She was
always sweet, patient, and ever
thoughtful of those who waited on
| her during her illness, always begging
' them not to tire themselves waiting
;on her and never forgot to thank
| all of them for what they had done.
It is hard for us who loved her
so well to give her up, but a joy to
know that she did not fear death, as
she said that she was ready and will
ing to die. Let us not say she is
dead, but asleep, sweetly sleeping in
the arms of .Jesus.
The loved ones who watched by
her bedside to the last saw the bright
light in her eyes and the peaceful
look that crept over her face as the
j angels bore her spirit away. Her
gentle spirit passed away without one
struggle.
A great crowd (of friends
present at her burial at the Cedar
Springs cemetery. Very impressive
was the funeral service conducted
by her pastor, Rev. J. I. Hill. Her
casket and grave were covered with
beautiful flowers, placed there by lov
ing hands. The loved ones, who
mourn their, loss on earth, must re
member that when the Master finds
a plant too tender for this earth He
takes it to the Garden of Paradise,
and this precious loved one has been
transplanted there to be nurtured by
God’s own tender and loving care.
Now while the family’s grief is
almost more than they can bear, some
great day day they can understand “All
sorrow will be banished in joy, for
Jesus knows best.” Now, dear ones,
remember this loss on earth is a gain
in heaven.
While on earth as a tender bud,
The parents loved the precious blood;
But must give them up at Jesus’ call,
To pardon, to bless, and save them all.
ONE WHO LOVED HER.
