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.

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. COMING SANDERSVILLE AUDITORIUM THREE NIGHTS Commencing Monday Feb. 10,11, 12 With Matinee Wednesday Louis A.

Others of Contrary Mind and Strenuously Op= 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. HURT TiIS FOOT ON COMPRESS ROOF. Mr. Sam Bashinski Suffers Very Painful Accident at Dublin. Are you ready with the Bible study for our mooting next Mon day? We shall study only the second division of Mark, or Christ’s Ministry in Northern Galilee aud Beyond, chapters VII 24, to IX. 50. The questions iu Our Homes will prove very help ful. Let us come to the meeting well prepared. “Today, if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart.”— Pb. 05. The great fact of our living in the world is a continual call to each of us. And if any one of us accepts our life as a matter of course, is that one sure that she does not daily harden her heart against a loving Father’s call, “Go work in my vineyard. During last November and De cember thousands of our immi grants became emigrants. Many laden with goodly sums of money and many more with less again sought their homelands. Did we as a Christian nation teach them During tho fire Tuesday night Mr. Sain Bashinski, one of Dub lin’s popular young cotton buyers, was badly injured by fulling through the roof of the compress building. Mr Bashinski with several others wa9 on tho roof attempting to prevent the fire from reaching the compress by keeping tho wood work wet. In some way his right 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 en, but they were so badly bruis ed’that the injuries will be a long time in healing. Mr. Bashinski is confined to Bis room on account of his inju ries, and it will doubtless ne sev eral weeks before ho will be able to have the use of tho^imb with out tho aid of a crutch. how to acquire the “true riches?” Even the “bread of life?” Mil lions more today stand in the market-places, yea at our very doors, crying unto us, and our Lord and King saith “Give ye them to eat.” Let us not harden our hearts. 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 business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. A little thoughtfulness on the part of every member would make our treasurer’s work a delight instead of a burden. 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.” One Wito Loved Him, D. B. S.
