Turner. of the honored members of th? local bar, were very; Interesting and appropri ate. Brief an:l feeling eulogies on the lamented dead .were paid by bin brethren, of the bar, touching upon Ills high character as a gentlenua.ni and an attorney and d.tolling incidents of interest, in his epreir. The 'following resolutions were (unanimously' adlepted*. May it please your Honor: At an informal meeting or the Bar of Polk county, to take some meas ures to express their sentiments rela tive to the decease . of our lamented brother, the Hon. W. F. Turner, C. G. Janes, W. C. Bunn, and Joseph A. Blanco were appointed a committee to propoeo a suitable preamble and reso-* lutions, and they now beg to report iho following and ask its unanimous adoption- William) Fletcher Turner was born in Meriwether county, Ga., on March ldth, 1847. He attended' the common schools near his home, and the Union Springs Academy near Greenville, the county seat of Meriwether) county,and later the boarding school at Carroll ton, taught by the Rev. Augustus Reese. Ha entered th? army of the •Confederate States when only 15 .years old, and served until the close of the war bat ween the States. For a year after the dose of that war he n-lcrrkod and taught school in his •-county, ami then, attended! Emory Col lege, finishing his education in 186S. .Returning home from Emory College, Air. Turner commenced the study of daw in the office of his uncle, Levi .Adams, at Greenville, and was admit ted to the bar at LaQtrange, Ga., on the 17th day of November, ISOS. In 1869 he cant 1 to Polk county and taught school for one year in Col- lard Valley, and removing to Cedar- town in the latter part of that year, began the practice of law in partner ship with Col. Ivy F. Thompson On Feb. 26th, 1871, he was married to Miss Lucy R. Vann, of Bulloch county, 'Ala. He was the father of several children, among whom is our much esteemed young brother, Paul R. Tur ner. He departed life the 25th day of Nov., 1906. Th« personal qualities of Mr. Turner his integrity in heart and mind, his affectionate and genial dlBposinion.his loyal and courageous spirit, his un erring devotion to duty, and his per sistent achievement, of worthy ends, combined to establish hint In the loving regard of hosts of friends wher ever lie moved, and nowhere more se curely than in the affection of his brethren of the bar, now assembled here to attest their regard for 'him,and to record their high esteem of his life and work. The importance of his sen ice, a3 a lawyer, to his clients Is u matter ol common lonowlaldgEtwheriiVer he was known. Mr. Turner was in no sense a politician. He was a law yer. He was a highly intelligent mis ter of the law, which profession he loved; a well-podeed, energetic and persUtenif advocate, who dearly loved live game, and who did not give a thought to the political capital which devotion to duty might bring him. Wise of head, strong in judgment,and warm of heart, lie deservedly held u high place in the esteem pf his brevhern of the bar. Ho bore no mal ice; indeed his heart was filled with the milk of human kindness; he |was generous to his foes, faithful to his friends, and devoted to hid clients—he made their cause his own. He had been in feeble health for some years before the end came. He was ready to go, but not unwilling to wait. He was ever a faithful member of the Methodist church, and was ready at all times to join In its work, and to udminiiteil ito ifs needs. If an in tellect and mind, which it is not the lot of all men to possess; if a heart, susceptible of the tenderest emotions, and whose every pulsation was the echo of til? purest feelings of patri otism and devoticn to his country; if the prayers of an afflicted (and devo ted family, could have saved him from the doom, which sooner or later awaits us all, our lamented friend and brother would yet be among us. But he is gone, and his death is but another memento of th9 mortality of the body, the immortality of the soul. Therefore, as a tribute of es teem and respect for his memory. Resolved, That the members of this bar are filled with profound grief at the loss of a most ardent and devoted member of their profession. Resolved, That for many years the deceased stoedi high in his profession as a sound and able jurist, with a clear and comprehensive perception of the principles of justice, and as a court-house debater* greatly) outranked many of his professional rivals. Resolved, That in his private and social intercourse, he was amiable, confiding and generous to a fault. Few men have acquired more numerous and devoted personal attachments and few have ever descended to the grave more deeply lamented. Resolved, That we affectionately sympathize with and t?ndrr to his afflicted) and bar^aved! family, our sin cere condolements upon their irrepar able loss. Resolved, Thai, by p0rml3sl.cn of the court, the proceedings of this meeting be spread upon the minutes of the emit, and thiat our county pa pers be requested to publish these pro- t ccodings. Respectfully suibmOttcd, j C. G. Janes, \V. C. Bunn, Jos. A. ! Bl'jnce, Committee. Polk Superior Court, F.b. Teim, 1907. It is ordered by the court that the foregoing preamble and reso'.utl .ns be entered upon the minut 3 of this court. This the 8th day of March; 1907. PRICE EDWARDS. J. S. C. T. C. FROM HON. J. W. AKIN. Editors Standard:—I had hoped to b? present at the exercises of the Polk Superior Court memorial of the la‘te Col. W. F. Turner, but was un avoidably denied that privilege. May I ask you to insert in your excellent journal these few words of tribute to one whom 1 long ki\ew and always esteemed? Before 1 came to the Bar. I had heard my honored father, Warren Akin,—wiho passed into the heavens nearly thirty years ago—speak in the highest terms of a then young lawyer at th? Cedar town Bar. When, early iu my professional career, I met this member of that Bar, I was prepared to respect and admire him. Our ac quaintance rapidly ripened into friend ship. and. os long as he lived, 1 was a genuine admirer of Col. Turner. He was always a gentleman—in ap pearance, in manners, in intention, in conduct. This is high but deserved praise. Many of the asperities of life inseparable from the lawyer’s career were smoothed and sweetened by his urbanity, his cordiality and his genial temperament. Without ostentation or display, he was a good lawyer and a sound adviser. He was faithful to his trusts, both personal and pro fessional. He was fair, just, upright and able. ^ He had troubles and sorrows—these. In one shape or another, com? inLo every life. But he boro reverses with fortitude and yielded, unquestioning obedience to the Providence which has been so often and so beautifully said to be “too wise to err, too good to be unkind.” He was not only a gen tleman in his manners and a man of morality in his action, but he w.is also—which is better still—a Chris tian. He acknowledged allegiance to the Church Militant to the end of his earthly life. We may be sure thal such a man now belongs to the Church Triumphant. Green b? his memory to all the friends who knew and loved him, until they too shall have joined the Invisible Company! JOHN \Y. AKIN. C.nt?rsviUe, Ga., March 8. 1907. < FDAHTOWN HI FITS.

No member of the company can b? excused from this inspection, and should any number fall to attend he will be severely dealt with by th? state authorities. Our company lias been mustered in for nearly two years, and we will be expected to make a good showing on this occasion. It is absolutely acces sary that each member of the company attend every' drill until inspection. Drills will be had on each Tuesday and Friday nights until thie first of April, then we will drill every nlghit until inspection,except Saturday night. It is important that each man get his property in first class condition. Let each member see that this shoes are nicely' polished, that his uniform is clean, that, his gun (especially the in side of the barrel) is free from rust, and that his tin cup and other eating utensils are clean. Lieut. Bunn will s?e to it that each man has the gun originally as signed to him, and Q. *Sl. Sergeant Hunt will be held! responsible for t:h? correct check and the systematic ar rangement cf the property of the company. The squads will be formed as fol lows:— First Squad:—Joe Moore, Ed.

No inflammation followed; the salve simply healed the the wound.” Heals every sore, burn and skin disease. Guaranteed at E. Bradford's, druggist. 25c. Life is not worth living unless you live for the good you can do. WHERE THERE IS NO TRUST BUT YOUR TRUST. HOME GOODS FOR THE HOME MARKET are the floods to buy. Remember there are Fertilizers and Fertilizers, some worth more money, some worth less, of “same analysis." 1 HIS THING OF "SAME ANALYSIS,” as printed on the bags of an absentee manufacturer, is no sign that the fertilizer is made without filler, or of the same valu able ingredients; or that it is as thoroughly mixed, or that it contains as much plant lood in any proportion. The state inspection is unequal to the task ol regulat- ing these details in the consumer’s interest. You are almost dependent on the honesty, and surely on the in telligence, care and skill of the manufacturer for pro tection in these matters. WITH THE FARMERS OF CARROLL and surround ing counties, the management of this company feels that it has a community ot interest prompting it to make and offer every year fertilizers equal to the best that can be made by anybody anywhere, and so contribute to bountiful harvests and prosperity in the section where the lot ol the company is cast, Our equipment and facilities are right for this purpose.
