FIRST DEATH IN COMPANY H. Chaplain Tilly Writes a Tribute to the Memory of Lank Barrett. Tampa, Fla., July 19.—Com pany H, of Second Georgia In fantry, is in deep sorrow tonight. We have just learned of the death of Lank Barrett, loved by all who knew him, a faithful soldier and a Christian gentleman. During the two months of his stay in camp no one ever found aught in him of word or deed but would be ap proved by the best of men. Mr. Barrett was an unpreten tious man, quiet and simple in manner, but direct in purpose and unyielding in principle. He possessed some of the finest traits of character that are found in men. He was ever thoughtful of the rights of others, appreciated all that was done for him and was courteous toward every one. I11 the late meetings in the camp he was quite firm in a public stand for Christ and Christian principles. His devotion to his mother was child-like and constant, and the honest smile that played upon his face at the mention of her name showed the beauty of a warm love. Lank Barrett was not an ordi- CURE ALL YOUR PAIRS WITH Pain-KiHer. A Medicin* Chest In Itself. Simple, Safe and Quick Cure for | CRAM PS.

There are, perhaps, no deeds for record in history, but there was a character that made its impress on others. The prin ciples he lived will be taken up, and thus he lives again in the hearts of his fellows. Mr. Barrett’s sickness “was brief. He was quite unwell for a few days, during which he was much reduced. His mother came when notified that the case had develop ed into typhoid fever. She nursed him as none but a good mother can do. He was removed to Atlanta on the hospital train. Only a few days later we had the news of his death. May God sustain the grief stricken relatives in their time of A. A. Tilly. sorrow. Tampa, Fla., July 20.—“L. T. Barrett, a private in Company H, Second Georgia Volunteer Infan try, died at McPherson barracks today, July 18th, at 12:30 o’clock of typhoid fever.” No one can tell the crushing weight of sadness that subdued every member of our company when this message came to us yesterday. God had given comfort and absolution to this bril liant boy’s soul at the Y. M. C. A. meetings in gamp and prepared him for the final note of the bugle that would call him to His eternal encampment on the plains of heavenly peace, where all swoids are sheathed and arms stacked by order of our Ruler over all. Three months’ intimate association en deared him to the boys, and when he reported sick one morning about a month ago, we thought little of it, as boys in the army are indisposed one day and well the next, just as at home. But every morning he answered the hospital call and went up to get medicine, gradually growing thin ner and more pallid. His brown uniform fitted him loosely and he crawled from one tent to another taking little interest in the con versations, but loving the com panionship of friends. One da}', about a week after the decline set in, he was unable to leave his tent and he was carried to the hospital about fifty yards away on a litter. He was there a day or two, but did not improve, and was moved to the division hospital where he could have better attention, but the parched lips and glassy eyes seemed to grow more pronounced at every visit. He was a mere boy in years and appearance, yet he talked so sweetly of the light of heaven that had shown in on his heart while Mr. Tilly and other evangelists were preaching to us in the evening open air services. When his case assumed the alarming stage, it was decided to send him to Atlanta, as he would receive the best of facilities and attention to recuperate. On that afternoon we went over to say good-bye. His face was drawn, his tongue parched and swollen, and when we looked in his face for the jolly “Lank” Barrett, we could only see his tired spirit wrestling to free itself from the earth earthy and preparing to put on the body celestial. We pray that the mother of this noble soldier boy may see in his election to God’s service the beauty of a Christian’s aeath, and realize what a privilege she has been granted to her country’s service, and then have God to see in him the true worthiness of heaven’s elect and call him home. The savor of her noble sacrifice on the altar of our country was wafted to God, and seeing that “it was very good,” He chose it for His kingdom. He was the first of the Second j Georgia volunteers to succumb,; and a more worthy or prepared boy could not have been found in the regiment. He lived the life of a true, obedient soldier, van quished by disease after a short engagement, but his bivouac will be under the glorious emblem of our native land, and when taps sound over the bodies of his com rades of Company H, our spirits will leave the mortal clay, wrapped in the silken folds of the stars and stripes and join him in his beauti ful heavenly home. God grant it. Edward West. Announcement s. The SUi'e l^a Grippe Gln'e. There is no use suffering from this dreadful malady if you will only get the right remedy.

Be true, ah, twin soul of my soul, be true! Be true to me, as I must be to thee, So that I, tossing on the storm-swept sea, Still one sure star may view. Be true, dear heart, for mine is bruised and sore, Weary of all, save only thy sweet love; Only to thee my bitter longings move Ever, and evermore. Would I might lean my head against thy breast, Even as a child, sore-vexed with thorny ways, With aching feet, turns, sobbing, to its rest,' And there, contented, stays. That may not be, but be thou true to me; So may I still my hopeless fancy please; My empty arms outstretched aye to thee In visions such as these. Ah, sweetheart mine! our dead past liveth yet— Blossoms afresh, more bravely than of old; Yet must I plead (for great dread maketh bold), Never do thou us forget. —From “ Tares,” a book of verses by Rosamond Marriott Watson. ss.
