ADEL, BERRIEN CO., GEORGIA, FRIDAY, May I , TAOT iMvx.
Death of Dr. Pafford.
Tbe people of Cecil and the surround¬
ing country were made sad Monday the
ffth of May, by the death of one of onr
Test citizens and most useful men. Dr. M.
I M. Pafford’. After two weeks illness,
during whieh he was watchd over by his
wife, brotliers, sisters and many anxious
friend •, Death claimed him for his own.
Dr. Marion M. Pafford was born in
Coffee County, Ga., April 9th, 1S70. He
had only limited common school advan¬
tages during his boyhood. In 1891 he at¬
tended the Florida Normal School & Bos
n ess College, after which, he began the
study of nied-ciue, graduated at the At¬
lanta Medical College in 1885. He mar¬
ried Miss Sentelle Davis the same year
and located at Cecil, Ga.. where he soon
commanded a large practice.
Dr. Pafford was another example of a
country boy who had worked his way
onward and upward into a successful and
useful life by sheer pluck, energy,
vim and force of character and will.
Throughout all the walks of life he was
active, resolute, full of pluck and ambi¬
tion. He had worked his own way
through college, into a successful prac¬
tice, and surrounded himself with the
comfort s of a pleasant home. Often has
he told me of the sacrifices and hardships
he suffered during these years of patient
t<lit And so sad tha t after a 11 these years
of toil, in the very moment lie thrilled
with triumph of victory death smote him
to the ground.
Dr. Pafford had been an official mem¬
ber of t he Met hodist church for several
years, was superintendent of the Sunday
school at this place at the time of his
death. His ambition was a burning de¬
sire to exert an influence that would lift
his fellowmau to higher ideals of life.
He was ever ready to help and give his
influence to any movement for the better¬
ment of humanity and the glory of G<xi.
Late one night during his illness as his
pastor and I sat and watched by his bed¬
side, he roused up for a few moments,,
and seemed stronger than usual, and
perfectly composed. He seemed to real¬
ize his condition fully; and he talked to
us of the past, the present and the future.
Among other things he said were these
words: “I feel that all is right between
me and my God.” Words so simple yet
so grand! What a profession for au
earnest, sincere soul to make at such a
tiim, tvheji no mere expediency would
scarcely tempt the soul to deceptive tes¬
timony !
His home life was ideal. It has been
the writers, privilege to live in his home
for the past eight months. The reign of
Love was supreme there.
He was loyal to his profession, and
felt deeply the responsibility of its duties.
Often since it has been my privilige to
live in his home have I known him to go
day and night after day and night with¬
out rest till his strength was almost gone,
trying to heal the wounds and relieve
the pains of the suffering.
But now he is dead. “I know that he
loved truth and right and honor; that he
detested what was base” and mean. I
know that he loved his fellowman, loved
his God. Peace to his ashes!
He leaves behind a wife and child and
a host of friends to mourn his loss.

Judge Hart to Hold Court.
Lowndes superior court will
convene next Monday week and
Judge John C. Hart, of the Oc-
mulgee circuit, will preside. A
letter was received from him
yesterday by the Solicitor-Gen-
eral stating he would come here
I at. that time, the docket being
i heavier than Judge Hansell cared
, to tackle during the hot summer
! months. There are sixteen crim-
inals in jail to be tried at that
time and there is a large amount
i of civil business to be disposed
i of.
Judge Hart is said to be the

j in Georgia and it is almost ru-
| mored that he has an ambition
to succeed Joe Terrell as Attorn¬
ey General.—Valdosta Times.

Summer Examination.
We received a notice from

insertion in last week’s paper
that the regular annual examina¬
tion of applicants for teachers’

day of June. Part of the exaim-
nation will be based on Roark's

The most melancholy thing in
this world is the plaint of the;
man who has nothing to do—the i
jack paternal of all trades who, self-indul-j through, J
negligence,
gence, incapacity for advance-
ment or other unfortunate cir—
cum stances did not in early youth
fit himself for a permanent vo¬
cation. To such a one existence
holds none of those pleasures for
which we live, and when the
shears of fate cut the tent ropes
of life he who has thus been
eted by cruel adversity is laid
away unwept, unhonored, unsung,
The weariness of soul that doth
attach itself to such a life is be-
vond the reach and ken of
upon whom fortune has smiled,
but as morning steals upon the
night, meeting the darkness, so
do the poor creatures follow
closely upon the heels of hope
until the hour arriveth when the
spirit hath no more power and
glory are dreams of the past,
never to be realized 0:1 earth.—

An Innovation.
The Forest Hill school is one of
the best and at the same time
une of the most progressive
schools in he country. Prof.
M. A. Shaw is an ideal principal
and has excellent help from Miss
Irma Shaw. Prof. Shaw has the
unstinted support of a thorough-
going board of trustees and the
happy combined results is a
school of which the entire neigh¬
borhood is proud. Besides a good
deal of work on the building,
under Prof. Shaw’s instrumen-
tality the school grounds have
been fenced and a nice portion
lias been transformed into a
beautiful dower gorden. Each
pupil has an allotted square and
much friendly rivalry exists as to
which can make their individual
square most attractive. We ac¬
knowledge a pressing invitation
to go out and spend a day with
them. Their closing exercises
will be in two weeks from to-day
(Friday ).
“I have been suffering from Dyspepsia
for the past t wenty years aiul have been
unable after trying all preparations and
physicians to get any relief. After
taking one bottle of Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure I found relief and am now in bet-
ter health than I have been for twenty
yeuis. I eau uofc praise Kodol Dyspep-
sia Cure too highly.” thus writes Mrs.
C. W. Roberts, North Creek, Ark.
Pee ples & Tygart.
The following good story is
told on one of our leading mer¬
chants who happens to be very
bow-legged. A fashionable soci¬
ety belle walked into bis store
and called for some article which
happened to be in the rear of the
store. The proprietor with bland¬
est smile and his roundest gait
led the way as he said : “Walk
r ight this way, Ma’am.” The un¬
suspecting customer watched the
merchant’s lower limbs for a mo¬
ment and then in utter despair
replied with “I beg to be excus¬
ed, 1 can't sir.’’ The innocent
merchant failed to see the point.
