['hat Dr. Edward Everett Ilaio

ot the power he has become but no

On the third of April last, Dr.

Boston honored Dr. Hale greatly

Once when addressing some
Harvard students he gave them
these rules for their improvement :

The following is from a well-
wisher of the daughter of the Re¬
public.
For a young woman Miss Alice
Roosevelt has of late been occupy¬
ing a great deal of space in the
public prints. She was the leading
lady in the Prince’s visit, and the
Kaiser winds up m telegram, “Ex¬
tend my good wishes to Miss
Alice. > 1
Then she is a guest in high places
in Cuba, and the patriots seek her
aid in certain political matters.
All this in her first six months in
the White House!
And yet perhaps she has not
found it altogether easy, One
wonders it there was not a little
sigh in having to give up the visit
to the Coronation, mul at the same
time to decline the invitation to
visit the German Emperor, It is
well for her that she cannot do
every thing that people want her
to, for people have an uncommonly
unpleasant way of doing things to
spoil their favorites. One would
be sorry to see Miss Roosevelt
spoiled. So on the whole we say
we are glad that this much talked
of young lady cannot do everything
she would probably like to.
Mrs. Davis and Mrs Edwards
returned Monday from the Gaines¬
ville missionary meeting—enthused
to the brim with missionary zeal.
They say they were royally enter¬
tained.
A romantic marriage of great iu-
tercfcl was that of Miss Lucile
Payne, the pretty and attractive
daughter of Mr. Mack Payne, mine
host of the Edwards House, and
Mr. Fred Clmtam, a promising
young ,$/.aii, of sterling qualities
and gbod business ability.
Tho this marriage was not unex-
pected yet it came in the way ot a
surprise, us this young couple,
ing leave or license of no one, be-
took themselves to the par*oiiage
services Sunday evening and
there Mr. Roster made them man
and wife.
W ith a keen love of the romantic
these young folks thought at first
to keep the secret lor awhile but
after reflection decided to make it
kiiv.wn to the family.
There are hosts of friends who
extend best wishes to Mr. and Mrs.
Chufjtn for a long and happy bf c
and congratulations to the groom
for winning so fair a bride.
On last Sunday there were *er-
▼ ices both morning and evening at
the Presbyterian church.
Mr, Simpson in the morning
preached an earnest, torceful «er-
rnon, in the evening Mr. P
talk was of strong points, well con-
strutted and well delivered. Af
ter the morning service Mr.
son asked the congregation to be
seated, he had something to say to
them. After expressing his love
for tin* church, and referring to
the many years he had already ser-
ved it, having the feeling for it al-
most that a fath.r would for his
child, he said that if the church
would promise to give the hearty
support that is so necessary for the
interest of both pastor and people
that he would do his very best to
accept the call to fill their pulpit
as supply, which had been tender-
ed him the day before. This was
harkened gladly, as a preacher and
a devout, consecrated man of God,
the church will be honored by his
acceptance and as an upright pro¬
gressive citizen Toccoa would wel¬
come him heartily.
The younger girls of society have

Tuesday was a gala day with
some of Toccoa’s young folks.
In the early morning hours they

this was a most hapuily spent day
goes without saying,

REV. MR. EARLE’S DEATH.
He was Generally Loved io hi*
Western home
We are in receipt ol the follow¬
ing from Mr. A. M. Gardner ol
Aspen, Col., giving a full account
of Mr. Earle’s death, Mr. Earle
seems to have been most generally
beloved.
Toccoa Record:—
YVilton R. Earle died at St.
Luke’s Hospital, Denver, Col., on
Sunday morning April 13th. Hi®
remains were taken to Aspen, as
it was his wish to be buried in the
place where, under God’s provi¬
dence, his lot as a pastor had been
cast. The funeral services were
held on Wednesday afternoon, and
the attendance was so large that
the church was crowded and many
w ere forced to remain outside. Pas-
tor j. 11 . Franklin of Cripple
C reek, Col., a class-mate ot f deceas- ,
ed . at the , Southern c , .. Baptist .> • , r I P heolo- . .
cal , Seminary, ,, was present , and j
r 1
assisted Pastor Grave!!,of Denver,
in conducting the service. Mr .
Franklin spoke very feelingly of
the incidents in the L.t days of
Mr. Ea-le’s sojourn on earth, and ___1
all present were touched and
pressed as he, in heartfelt,.well
chosen words, referred to his
mate relations with the departed
one. Truly of Mr. Earle could
be *>aid :
i i He livelh long who liveth well;
All other life is short and vain;
lie liveth longest who can tell
Of living most for heavenly gain”
He had lived i n Aspen almost
1 hi<-e years, and the affection and
esttem in which he was held can
be most truly attested by the heart-
w sor.ovv of all who had been
privileged to know him, and who
mourned that one of ‘‘God’s noble
men j ? would no longer move among
them to inspire them to nobler liv-
in s- b v exam P leas wejl as b y P re -
The touching scenes at Mr.

to come, tor Brother Larle will

may obtain.

O grave, where is thy victory? ’
The note of triumph was so loud
and strong, that all felt that there
wa. a commingling ol joy »nd
row, and that we cou Id confident ly
look forward to the time when “the
dead in Christ shall rise,” tor our
loved one hid but “entered iuto

The lessons taught by his cheerful¬
ness and unfailing reliance on the
promises of God can never be ef¬
faced from the memory of those
who tarry here for a tew brief
mouths or years.
A memorial service was held on
Wednesday evening at the Metho¬
dist church, when hundreds of As-
penile® gathered to pay their last
tribute of respect to Mr. Earle,and
to listen to remarks by those who
were well qualified toleli.of his
sterling worth and beautiful life.
The news ot the death ot Rev.
Wilton Earle was received in thi®
cominunnity last week with the
deepest sorrow by every one, both
white and colored, for he had the
respect and love of every one,
