Eds. Journal: The natural, or acquired
preeminence of most of the cities and towns
of this grand old State, is a matter of local
pride to the denizens thereof,
In point of fact there are so many excel
lent and commendable features in the vari
ous sections of our State that it would be no
easy task to name them. But in our opin
ion the live ligtle city of West Baing BOIEY
to the front with more reasans far self-con
gratylation than any city in our State, or
perhaps, of our sister states. She has a list
of civic honors worn by her young men, that
would even have made the “Gate City” jubi
lant.
See what her (West Point) boys have
done. R. 8. Griggs was valedictorian, with
first hongrs in the dental departigent of the
University of Tennessee. Tom Callaway
wins a speaker's place at Mercer College,
Macon,
Jim Dixon bears off the laurels and takes
a speaker’s place at Emory Coliege, Oxford.
Arthur Heyman and Asa Griggs win speak
ers places in the University at Athens. Ab
ner Huguley bears off the gold medal in
Mobile for being the best drilled cadet at
the Inter State drill. Ferat palmam qui
merwif
Now when we refiget that the yaung nen
who bear off those honors were once stu
dents of Pro. F. M. Blount's (formerly of
West Point but now of Smyrna) and doubt
less owe nq small share of thelr success
to the pains-taking and mental training
that they received at his hands, we feel that
this community has a right to feel compla
cent for having such an educator in our
midst, and, if some of the Smyrna boys don't
“take the eake” ut same futyre “walk,” the
fault will rest at home. SMYENA.

IN MEMORIAM,
Luke 8. Northeutt, horn in Henry county,
Ga., Dec. 23rd, 1824; died in Marietta, Ga.,
June 16th, 1885,
Mr. Northcutt was one of a family of
eleven children, six of whom had preceded
him in death. He was the seventh son of
Alexander and Lucy Northcutt, and was
raised to young manhood on their farm
place in Henry county.
At an early age, having been employed
by a firm in Bartow, county, Ga., he engag
ed in the general merchandise business,
which he followed with that uprightness
which left him after thirty-six years of hard
work a poor man, save for the respect and
esteem of all who knew him intimately, hav
ing arpraised him according to the integri
ty of his character rather than by the amount
of his earthly possession.
At the age of twenty-six, he married Miss
Eveline Dorsett, of (“hattooga county, Ga.,
and, after her death, her sister, then Mrs.
Fannie Marlow, of Marietta, Ga.
~ Again, losing his second wife, he married
‘and brought from the State of New York a
‘third, who was destined to cherish his old
‘age, and tenderly watch over his last earthly
moments; who now is left doubly bereaved,
inasmuch as in his death she has lost both a
husband and all ties which constitute a
home,
For many years he was a member of the
Methodist Church, in which he was trusted
and respected. At length, however, rather
because of his disagreement with the pecu
liarities of that denomination than because
of any diminution of religious fervor or trustful
confidence in his Savior Christ, he practical
ly withdrew from it.
Many there are who do confidently and
assuredly aver with me, “An excellent spir
it was in him.” His loyalty to his Master
was ever evinced by upright dealing, for
which we have the abundant testimony of
his oldest business associates, a fervent love
for the Savior, a childlike faith in things di
vine, a reverent searching of the scriptures
until he knew the text of the lnspircdp One
as few knew it, and a great desire to obey its
commands and follow in the footsteps of
Jesus.
No subject interested him so much as those
of religion; nothing seemed half so sure or
so dear as the Heavenly Inheritance.
Christian charity marked his conversa
tion. Seldom were words of disparagement
heard from his lips.
As he neared the end of his natural life, it
became my good fortune to win his confi
dence and to discover the man under the
constant disguise of his habitual reticence.
And 8o it is with confidence that I bear will
ing testimony that he died, as a child of
God should die, in “full assurance of faith,
having the heart sprinkled from an evil con
science and the body washed with pure wa
ter”—even the laver of Regeneration.
To those upon whom this bereavement
falls heaviest, Kis wifeand children, our sym
pathies’are offered with prayers that God
may be both a Protector and l‘xather to those
whom His death-angel has despoiled.
May we all with him, “have boldness to
enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
by a new and living way,-which he hath con
secrated for us.” C. C. LEMax,
Rector St. James' Churgh.

Boaps and other Toilet articles: *‘l unhesi
tatingly pronounce them superior to any I
ever used.”” Principal Depot, 374 and 376

Tired and Languid Women.
How many women there are of whom
these words are true: “They feel languid
and tired, hardly able to bear their weight
‘on their feet, the bloom all gone from their
cheeks, irritable and cross without meaning
to be, nerves all upset, worried with the chil
dren, fretted over little things, a burden to
themselves, and yet with no acute disease.”
What a pity it is. But a few hottles ot
Parker's q‘onic will drive all this away, and
relieve the troubles peculiar to their sex.

STORE!
There wasa man in our town, and he
was wondrous wise, for when he marked
his prices down, he then did advertise.
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main he marked still low
er every price and advertised again. And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar, to see the people rush to him and pat
ronize his store. And while they sat in
solitude and saw him custom win, that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekels in. And when he raked the shek
els in and saw his fortune rising, he took a
2oodly lot of tin and kept on advertising.
Each day a generous sum he’d sink, and
demonstrate full plain, the more one pays
for printers’ ink, the greater is his gain.
