The modern custom of employing extravagant eulogy in obituary notices originated in aD improper conception ol , the maxim: “Say nothiog but good of the dead.” A brief, truthful presentation of the msoy .virtues manifested in his life is all that is required for a just tribute to the memory of the late OLIVER PORTER DANIEL. He was born io Greene county, Ga , on 11th of April, 1821, and died, sud denly, within a short distance of the place of his birth, on 6th of March, 1882. Following the esatnple of his faihar who was “a gentleman of the old school," owning a large landed estate aod many stares—he preferred the in dependence of a planter's life to tho more exacting luties of a profession.— Ho resided a few years in Greenesboro’, but, (true to his early tastes and trail ing, he longed for the unrestrained freedom, the Hocks and herds, the green Gelds, and the pleasant, uore !#§ined intercourse with kind neigh bors, he had enjoyed so much at his old country home. Before leaving Greenesboro’, Providence kindly gave him a Christian helpmeet, in the per* son of Miss Victoria Cone, the only daughter of the late IJon. F. 11. Cone. She was, from the day of their -mar riage, a helpmeet indeed to him, “doubling his joys and his cares divid ing." Guided by her Gne taste, the old-fashioned house, by remodeling and additions, was soon transformed into an inviting, lovely home, within which was dispensed a generous hospitality, that ouce enjoyed, can never be for gotten. Returning from the Confederate artny, which he had entered in 1861. ns Captain of a company composed of the brave and noble sons of his native oounty, he repaired to that dearest spot 00 earth to him, where he and his de bited wile, happy in each others love, gathered what they could from the wreck of his large fortune, and again with cordial welcome, open hearts and lavish hands, received and entertained ’ their many friends. The daily walk and conversation of bis pious life could not fail to have its influence on bis mind and heart. Aided by a few neighbors, hut mainly with bis ! own means, he built, in a lovely grove, near his home, the beautiful little church, “Oakland." In answer, uouh less to the prayers of his wife, he j>Vessed conversion in 1877, became yVte’nn that church and was sub fluently ordained a ruling elder.— From that time, until his death, he de T-rted himself, in great, humility and earnestness to the service of his Maker, lookiag'Carefully after the interests,and responding cheerfully and liberally to the demands ef the loved little church. He was deeply interested in the meet'' ings of Presbytery, and enjoyed these asloniy the consecrated Christian can. ••••scorn early manhood, indeed from /* yymth, he had the respect and con £3e*ce of his fellow men, and discharg ed all the duties of citizenship, faith fully, intelligently aud conscientiously. Seeking no official position, his UDi form kindness and courtesy were but spontaneous expression of the promptings of a sincere and noble heart. Genial, frank, free from all duplicity, generous, honest, honorable, 05f manly and true, he was a favorite wit! all classes, while his broad Chris nr.' charity and true benevolence en leared him to those who knew him best But it was around his own tirade and within the hallowed precinct! of! the homo cifcle that the excellence of his character shone forth most contpi cuously. The kindness of his hi>art beaming in his countenance, the cheer- \ fulness of his spirit displaying itself in 1 his bright, entertaining and oftentimes uieriy conversation, dispelled all that tended to gloom or depression, while I the genuine sincerity of his natureland 1 the thoughtful, tender consideration I for the pleasure and comfort of otters, 1 made his a bright and happy hftne. j From this home, so attractive and so dear —from the wife, so devoted,' so true, so fondly loved—he passed 6ud„ denly away and sank into his final re:t as calmly, as peacefully, as the innocent babe falls on sleep. His loss falls heavily upon those among whom he lived, and is kceuly felt by hosts of friends throughout the State. But in the heart of the devot ed wife, there is ‘‘an aching void the world can never fill.” Her faith will sustain her; her trust will bring resig nation, and ere long there will be a happy reunion in that glorious Heav enly home, where there shall be no parting. J. A. B. IX lIFIIOItiATI, MRS. HATTIE HUTCHISON, wife of Mr. Tollie S. Hutchison, who departed this life January 19th, 1882. Through an inscrutable allotment of the Divine providence, 6he was sub jected in her childhood years to the discipline of conflict and trial, her father Lawrence Hutchison, having died away from home, battling in the defence of his country’s freedom, leav ing her a bcljaigss child, tho c re and solicitude of a widowed mother, in the opening years ol her girlhood she chose the Lord to be her God, dedicate ed herself to His service, and realized the fullness of the promise, ‘ they that seek me early shall God me. 11 The unfoldings of her life gave evi dence of capacities for great usefulness, which had already begun to be ac knowledged, and were inspiring still greater hopes in the minds of her friends, when lo ! in the fullness and flush of womanhood, insidious disease laid hold upon her strong and beautiful form, and in two short weeks “She in a sacred calm resigned her breath And as her eyelids closed she smiled in death.” She was untiring in her attentions to her devoted husband, who had been lingering between life and death for a long time, until borne from his bed side, with a fresh impressed kiss upon his sunken cheek, never again to look upon his pale ar.d wasted form. At a late meeting of the Sunday School at Walker’s Church, of which she had long been a faithful member, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted. Whrueas, It has been the good pleasure of our Heavenly Father, since our suspension, to remove from our midst our beloved sister Hutchison, thus demonstrating the faet that “death loves a shining mark,” we feel that tho Church has lost one of its most promis ing members, the Sunday School one of its most earnest, active and success ful workers, and society one of its brightest ornaments. Pure in heart, blameless in life and resigned in death, we feel quite sure that her beautiful spirit is now at rest in that land “be yond tho sunset’s radiant glow." While our bereavement as a Sunday School is great, and the sorrow that weighs us down is heavy, it is not comparable to that desolation of heart which the hus band and mother of our deceased sister have experienced, and hence we tender them our sympathy and offer up our prayers in this their sad affliction : Resolved, 1 That a page of our roll book be left blank, with her name, age and date of death inscribed thereon. ltisolved, 2 That a copy of this Memorials with preamblo and resolu tions be furnished each the husband and mother of our deceased sister, and that the Greenesboro’ Herald and Geo:gia Home Journal be furnished a copy with request to publish the same, A.

Devoted to tlm Cause of Truth and Justice, and the Interests of the People. GREENESBORO’, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1882. Old Fashioned Mother. Thank God, some of us have an old fashioned mother. Not a wo man of the period, enameled and painted, with her great chignon, her curls and bustle, whose white, jeweled hands uever felt the clasp of baby fingers; but a dear old fashioned, swoet voiced mothet, with eyes, in whose clear depth the love light shone, and brown hair ljust threaded with silver, lying smooth upon her faded cheek.— Those dear hands, worn with toil, gently guided our tottering step 9 in childhood, and smoothed our pillow in sickness, ever reaching out to us in yearning tenderness. Blessed is the memory ofanold fashioned mother. It floats to us now like the beautiful perfume from some wooded blossoms. The music of other voices may bo lost, but the entrancing memory of hers will echo in our souls for ever. Other faces may fade away and be forgotten, but hers will shine on. When in the fitful pauses of busy life, our feet wander back to the old homestead, and crossing the well worn threshold, stand once more in the room so hallowed by her presence, how the feeling of childish innocence ami dependence comes over us, and we kneel down in the molten sunshine streaming through the open window—just where, long years ago, we knelt by our mother's knee, lisping, “Our Futber.” How many times, when the tempter lured us on, has the memory of those sacred hours,.of that mother’s words and faith ami prayers, saved us from plunging into the deep abyss of sin Years have filled great drifts between her and us, but they have not hidden from our sight the glory of her pure, unselfish love.— [Ex. Words lo Young Senator Bayard in a recent let ter to the Christian Union, on “success in public life," writes some golden words for young men. “Success,” he says, “in obtaining official place aud political power, suecesss in gaining wealth or fame or that notoriety that some times passes for fame, may all be achiev ed by the sacrifice of every princi pie that keeps life sweet, and at the cost of manly self respect, sim ple truth, modesty and personal in tegrity. We are not without ex amples of such ‘success,’ which has caused many worthy men to feel that ‘the post of honor is the pri-< vate station.’ ” Young men, in ordinary politics, too often strart with the idea ob tained from examples that unscru pulous methods and trickery are the foundation of a reputation for shrowdness and capability for sue cessful political life. Wo have known men of long experience in politics, in their ordinary life al most models for integrity and mor* als, who the moment|they step over the dividing line between private and public concerns abandon the rule governing them in one direc tion and go as far as the unblush iu" rascal in tho other in coante nancing bad means to accomplish political ends. These men will at tend prayer meetings and pray unctuously to be delivered from sin and temptation, and go from thence to the political caucus and with a smile cbildlik and bland, encourage the practices which lead to the characterization of party politics as “a dirty mess.” T. X (To.—This great firm, whose senior was for many years the foremost merchant of the world, is oiosing up its extensive mercantile busi ness in New York, and has just made a shipment of Govts at wonderfully low prices to 0. A. DAVIS &. Cos These goods are expected every day, and it may be that tho people of Greene and surrounding counties may reap a benefit from this ship ment. Dimensions of Heaven. The following calculation, based ! on a text of Revelations, is both curious and interesting. It is co pied from the Charlottsville Jeffer sonian, ami will suggest thoughts for those who think: “Revelation,! xxi chapter, 16th verse: ‘And he measured the city with a reed,j twelve thousand furlongs. The • length and breadth and height are equal.’ ” “Twelve thousand furlongs—7,- 920,00(1 feet, which being cubed is 943.088,000,000.000,000,000,000 000, cubic feet, and half of which we will reserve for the throne of God and the court of Heaven, half the balance for streets, and remain der divided by 4,096, the cubical feet in the room, sixteen feet square and sixteen feet high, will be 30,843.750,000,000 rooms.” “We will now suppose the world always did and always will contain 900,000,000 of inhabitants, and a generation will last thirty three and a third years —2,700,000,000,- 000 persons. Then suppose there were 11,230 such worlds equal to this in number of inhabitants and duration of years—then there would boa room 16 leet long, 16 feet wide and 1C feet high for each person, and yet there would be room. [Ex, A Youth who Jlissrd a Fortune. [Virginia (Nov.) Chronicle.] A tired looking yonr.g man sat in a C street saloon yesterday with his elbow resting on a beer table and his chin in his hand. lie gazed moodily through his tobacco smoke and Jager laden %awdust. “Hullo,” cried a friend, ‘what’s wrong with you, Bob? You look blue.’ ‘l’ve been thinking,’ said the third and melancholy young man, ‘how different my life would have been if I’d been horn with a tail.’ * With a lail ?’ ‘Yes, with a tail. If it had been my luck to have a tail I’d boen rolling in wealth tm-day instead of sitting here half tired to death with hard work.’ ‘But how in the name of zoology would a tail help you out? t asked the friend, in amazement. ‘Why, can't you see? Whenev er I needed money all I’d have to do would be to go into a cage or onto a .stage and exhibit rnyself.— A man with a tail would paralyze the public and sot all the science sharps wild. Do you catch onto the tail ?” *1 do,’ said the friend respectfuL ly, ’and I wish to goodness I had ODe myself, see’n the way you put it. Will you have a glass of beer?’ ‘I will,’ replied the tailloss young man, in a gloomy voice. Wanted a Pool. A New Yorker, who had busi ness in one of the mountain villages the other day, was followed to tho depot, when ready to take the train by a native, who confidentially in qnired ; “Are you an undertaker?” “Oh, no.” “Didn't know but ’you was on undertaker looking for an opening here, and I’d like to pool with you. I own the graveyard here, and we could run the business to suit our selves. Are you a doctor?” “No.” “Didn’t know but you was. I’ve got the best place in town for a drug store, and I’d furnish the medicines and you do the doctor ing, and we’d pool. Maybe you are a lawyer ?” “No, my friend.” “I thought if you was, we could fix it all right, one of my brothers bcin<* the Justice of the Peace and the other the Constable. I’d be the silent partner and sue every man in town to make business.— Like enough you are a preacher?’ “ Wrong again.” “Well, l'tn sorry. I’ve got a mortgage on the best church build ing here, and if you was only the right kind of a preacher, we'd pool in, and in less’n three months we’d have the dead wood on every soul worth saving!” [Ex. An honest farmer’s attention was called the other day to a cotton chopper, a recent invention for thining out the rows. After stu dying it for a while ha was asked his opinion of it. Spitting out a mouthful of tobacco juice, he sen tentiously remarked; “Ef it was fixed so as it would cut down all the cotton and then plant con in the drills, it would be one of the darndest best things this country I has ever seed.” And he walked off, leaving the profound conviction in the minds of hearers that ho was about right—[Ex.
