enjoy ourselves while we are young,
but remember thy creator in the
days of thy youth. Life is short
for it is not all of life to live, nor
all of death to die.
Rev. John Bale’s comment on
the general rules last Sunday morn
ing has been spoken of as one of
the strongest discourses that has
ever been delivered at Tilton.
The subject for the evening was
“ Activity is fidelity to God, lazi
ness is sin.” His text was chosen
from Genesis, second chapter and
fifteenth verse: “And the Lord
God took the man and put him
into the Garden of Eden to dress
it and to keep it.”
Quite a large crowd attended
the memorial service near Resacca
last Saturday. We had an inter

A number of old soldiers were
there shaking hands with the old

beautifully decorated with choice

and all seemed to be happy. Sev

A wise woman knows that the
madder her husband is-the harder
he’ll pound the carpet.
some extravagances. These we
expect to look into and report.
“The idea back of the resolu
tion of investigation is that what
is everybody’s business is nobody’s
business and that it is high time
the people should know what is
becoming of their money. It may
be that everything is all right; that
their money is spent in the way
and manner it should be. If that
is the case the people should know
it. It would give them that pride
and satisfaction in their State gov
ernment that nothing else can give.
They have a right to know it, and
it is something they have never
known; for in the whole history
of the State there has never been
an investigation of the character
proposed.”
The investigating committee
consists of Messrs. Little, of Mus
cogee, Judge James S. Boynton,
of Spalding, S. E. Berry, of Whit
field, and Thos. H. Swift, of
Elbert.
None of the daily papers have
as yet been able to prophecy just
what turn the investigation will
take, but all seem to think that
rottenness will be exposed in sev
eral high places.
None of the committee will talk
for publication in regard to the in
vestigation, but the Citizen has
it pretty straight from one who
knows something of the inside of
affairs that the committee will ser
iously object to certain expendi
tures at the State University, and
that some very sensational devel
opments may come to light in re
gard to that institution.
At any rate it is certain that
the committee will make it inter
esting for the State school.
A Citizen reporter called on
Col. S. E. Berry in regard to the
matter but he did not wish to talk
of the committee’s affairs for pub
lication.
Col. Berry is a member, how
ever, of that body and will meet
with them June 7th to probe the
State affairs.
The Citizen has made it’s pro
phecy and it knows what it is talk
ing about.

The usual space
newspaper to correspondents will
not afford room, nor have I time,
for amplification of the subjects
presented; much is therefore left
for the thoughtful reader to sup-
p!y-
To know ourselves is funda
mental, and the first principle in
the philosophy of life, especially
religious life. To study self in
the light of the Bible is distasteful,
as is. introduction to a very un
lovely and deformed person. It
was a killing blow to St. Paul to
be introduced to himself by the
law of God; so, it is at first to us-
all. The whole head sick, the
heart faint, going forth or astray
from the womb speaking lies, the
heart deceitful and desperately
wicked. Treasuring up wrath
.against the day of wrath, a sinner,
a wreck, a body of death.
It is the office of the Bible to
teach us what we don’t want to
know, yet what - we can’t deny,
and what the Holy Spirit impres-
es on our hearts as truth infalible.
Our observation and experience
teach us that as face answers to
face in a glass, so aptly does the
Bible describe our natural and
moral condition. Yet in seeking
light and rules by which to con
trol and govern our lives, no other
book is so much neglected. There
are many who readily accept all
the Bible teaches concerning the
character of God and His ador
able attributes, but deny His in
struction or teaching concerning
the character of man; which de
nial stands as the strongest evi
dence of their alienation from
Him and pittiable orphanage in
the world, without hope, filled
with poverty and darkness, loving
darkness rather than light because
their deeds are evil.. Such are
they who deny the natural pro
clivity of our race, to live in guilt
and sin, taking pleasure in un
righteousness. How great and
alarming is the contrast between
man and his Maker, one is the
AJmighty God, the first and best
of all beings, delighting Himself
in all goodness and mercy. Glor
ious in Holiness, fearful in praises,
creating a universe and filling it
with every variety of object and
splendor to please the eye, fill the
ear and move the heart to love
and worship. Making man his own
image, crowning him as he rises
from the dust with reason and
understanding, locating his habi
tation and planting a garden in
which they would hold evening
talks and enjoy mutual friendship.
The caution God gave to man was
obey and live or refuse and die.
Soon an evil hour came in - which
he .yielded to the temptation of
the devil sanctioned by his wife,
and disobeyed the command given
them, and the next time they
heard the voice of God they were
afraid and hid themselves. But
none can hide from God. He
marked their sin, their peace was
lost, their home was ruined, the
flowers of Eden faded, its borders
hung with habilaments of mourn
ing, they left it reluctantly, were
driven out with earth cursed be
fore them to resist their labor.
Thorn and thistle must be dug up
before wheat and barley will grow.

AN OLD CITIZEN DEAD.
Mr. Amos Southerland Expired
Sunday.
SIOO Tojjii Man,
HIS FUNERAL TUESDAY MORNING.
Was One of the Oldest and Most'Re
spected Citizens of Dalton.* A
Large Crowd at Obsequies.
Mr. Amos Southerland is dead.
The end came early in the night
last Sunday.
He had been in feeble health for
several months past, and at no
time in the past ten years been .a
well man.
His funeral was preached.Tues
day morning at the First Baptist
church by Rev. Dr. Goodwin, the
pastor, and was listened to with
marked attention by a large crowd
of friends of the deceased.
Mr. Southerland had lived in
Dalton for fifty years, coming here
from South Carolina, where he
was bom in the year 1815. He
was at one time a prominent factor
in the business sphere of this sec
tion, but his latter yeans were bur
dened with an affliction from which
he never recovered,-and at times
almost incapacitated him for a
busy life.
He was a man liked and re
spected by all and made a good
citizen, one that any community
might well feel* proud of.
He leaves a. wife and daughter
to mourn his loss and to whom
The Citizen extends sincere sym
pathy.
The Carter Undertaking Com
pany had charge of the funeral ar
rangements. The pall bearers
were Messrs. H. A. Russell, Lint
Flemister, E. P. Davis, H. P. Col-
vard, C. H. Snow and J. A. Blan
ton.
Rev. J. M. Stansberry made a
short talk about the life and char
acter of the deceased before ser
vices were concluded at the church.
The classmates of Miss Louise
Southerland attended the funeral
in a body.
