Tho Inst issue of the Wrights
ville Chronicle contained the fol
lowing :
“Wrightsvillo and Johnson
county suffered a great loss last
night in the untimely death of
Judge V. B. Robinson. Tho end
came about ten o’clock, and at
the time the sufferer had about
his bedside his family and a num
ber of uear relatives.
“Something of a feeling of
gloom has porvadpd the city dur
ing the past three or four days,
since the people came to realize
that Judge Robinson was ill with
a mortal disease, and that his
death was merely a question of
hours. Though confined to his
room early last week, none of his
many friends would have believed
that he was ontoring on Ins lust
illness, for .to all appurtenances
he wa^a strong and vigorous man,
and was in tho very prime of life,
being but fifty years of ago at
his death.
“The disease of which ho was
suffering, which was complicated
with kidney trouble, became acute
Inst Friday night, and since then
he has gradually and rnpidly
grown worse ; and yesterday morn
ing Dr. S. M. Johnson, tho at
tending physician, who has given
him unremitting attention and
the most skillful treatment, an
nounced that the sufferer would
scarcely survive the day.’’
Judge Robinson was well known
here and J’uid jquite a number of
friends''ill this conuty.

CITY COURT ADJOURN
ED LAST THURSDAY.
Longest Session in History
of Court. Impor
tant Cases.
SOME WANT EARLY
COUNTY PRIMARY.
The recent January term of the
city court of Sandersville was the
longest as well as the most impor
tant session of the oity court over
held, the court having been in
session continually for nine days
aud a half.
While few of them, compara
tively, were tried, more than three
times the usual number of cases
were on the docket, many default
judgments having been taken dnr*
ing the term, thuB enabling the
court to almost clear the dooxet.
Many criminal cases were dis
posed of, there being several pleas
of guilty and convictions and a
good large sum of fine money
found its way to the county treas
urer.
Most of the litigation is now
had in the city court, the slow
and expensive process of the su
perior court leaving it with no
cases except those required to be
trifjd there by tho constitution of
the state.
Several cases sued in the court
involved amounts exceeding one
thousand dollars.

Others of Contrary Mind

pose the Plan.
The county executive commit
tee will have some troublo of its
own. Some of the candidates
want the primary to bo held
earlier than the fourth of June,
when the state primary will be
and thoro is considerable talk of
the matter at this time.
Others claim that it would not
be fair to hold the primary earlier
and will strenuously oppose any
thing looking like an early pri
mary. Besides they claim that
two elections are entirely uncall
ed for and that the people will
get enough of elections with one
primary only.

one of us accepts our life as a

that she does not daily harden

was badly injured by fulling

Mr Bashinski with several
others wa9 on tho roof attempting
to prevent the fire from reaching
the compress by keeping tho wood

foot slipped through an opening
or a loose board, and his ankle
was badly sprained. It is thought
that none of the bones were brok

Mrs. D. L. Cheat ham, president
of our auxiliary, entertains us
next Monday beginning promptly
at 8 p. m. This is the annual
meeting, at which the election of
officers takes place. It is hoped
that every member will be present
at this important time.
In the meantime, forget not to
pray that our first anniversary bj
the beginning of a year in which
our auxiliary may be diligent in

A little thoughtfulness on the

In Remembrance of
J. K. Stephens.
On Nov. 26th, 1907, the angel
of death entered our home and
took from our midst our dear and
beloved futher. Little did we
think when be bade us goodby on
Sunday p. m. to visit his daughter,
Mrs. .T. C. Hook, he was leaving
ne’er to return.
He was 69 years of age, and
leaves a wife, six children, eight
grand-children and many friends
to mourn his sad death.
It was on Monday morning as
ho was preparing for breakfast
that death struck him. He fell
dying in tho arms of Mr. J. C.
Hook. Never again will we hear
his sweet voice ring out in the
songs he loved to sing so well.
Only a few moments before death
struck him ho was singing the
song, “Shed not a tear,” one of
his favorites. It is so sad and
lonely since he has left us; it
seems as though \ve cannot give
him up, but then it is nature for
us to grieve after our loved ones
and with our friends shed the
sympathizing tear. Then let us
bear up, for not our will, but
thine, O, Father, must be done.
He was a good neighbor, kind
friend, loving father and dovpted
husband. He will be missed by
many, but most of all by his own
devoted family.
Shed not a tear o’er your friend’s
early bier,
When I ain gone, when I am gone.
Smile when the slow tolling bi ll you
shall hear.
Wher. I am gone, when I am gone.
“Weep not for me when you stand
round my grave. t
Think who has died his beloved to saVe.
Think of the crown all the ransomed
shall wear,
When I am gone, when I am gone.”

H AS it ever occurred to you who nrn superstitious about the
number “18,” that almost daily you may bo carrying
around with you a pioce of money that is just full of
thirteens? Just take a look at a quarter of a dollar, and
you will note thirteen letters in the words “quarter dollar,”
thirteen arrow heads, thirteen feathers in tho eagle’s wing,
thirteen parallel bars on the ehield, thirteen letters in tho
scroll in the eagle’s beak, thirteen stars, thirteen horizontal
stripes and thirteen leaves in the olive branch. If this in
formation haftmeiiH to be new to you, and you are supersti
tious about k< epiug quarters, wo would add that you may
send lrom one to a dozen of them to Hitt’s Market, San
dersville, Ga., and ho will take them in exchange for the
best meat to be found in this city, and you will then bo
relieved of coins of that denomination.

Coal Yard.
We have just learned that Lang’s
Variety Works, the popular Sash, Door
and Blind Manufacturers of our city,
have decided to sell domestic coal and
they have in their yards one hundred
t ins of Jellico Goal and are prepared
to fill all orders promptly. They will
carry a good stock of coal at all times
and people using coal will not have to
place their orders and then wait sever
al weeks for same to be delivered, but
they can telephone No. 40 and get coal
promptly. This lias been one of San-
dersville’s needs for several years and
we hope the people will patronize these
people liberally, as it will enable our
people to keep warm during the cold
weather.
PROTECTION FROM FIRE
Means something more than hav
ing a Fire Insurance Policy.
To prevent loss and to have full
protection, you need a policy
written by an agent who will look
carefully after expirations, re
newals and attend to the more
important details and duties that
you will forget. That’s the Pro
tection I offer, and will write
your Insurance in the best Com
panies.
