In Memory of
Monroe Cochran
On the morning of Thursday,
Feb. 20th, the shocking nows came
to me of the death of my life-long
friend, Mr. Monroe Cochran, at
his home near Damascus church.
At the time of his death he was
j about 80 years of age.
Early in life, before the civil
war, he married and settled not
far from the place of his death.
II is entire life was one of hard toil
and sell sacrifice, but he built and
made, out of his own honest labors,
a Comfortable home for himself in.d
family. He was a soldier of the
civil war and fought the fight the
victories won.
Mr. Cochran-joined the Baptist
church in his early manhood, and
was alw iys a strong advocate and
liclievcr in this doctrine.
The cause of Mr. Cochran’s
death was a stroke ot paralysis,
and he only lived a few days there
after. All that the skill of the
best physicians could do was done,
supplemented by the liest of nurs
ing by his wife and children and
the loving attention of many kind
friends and neighbors.
lie was lai' l to rest in Damascus
church cemetery, the burial service
being conducted by the Rev. W.
L. Barrett, which was very appro
priate "and impressive. A large
concourse of friends and relatives
were present to pay their last sad
tribute of love and respect.
No compliments of mine can
benefit the dead, but can not the
living draw inspiration from
studying the liie and examples set
by such citizens as Mr. Monroe
Cochran.
In the midst of life suddenly the
roar of the deep dark river of
death is heard. We are standing
upon the banks of this river, down
whose swift current we must float;
we know not when we will be
forced to meet our doom ; our
careers will be over, our examples
are left for those who must follow
after. Then let us profit by the
shining light of true devotion and
courage and meet out troubles with
true spartan manhood.
Yes, our true and good friend is
gone, but aye long shall remem
brance of him endure. For shall
riot, in a measure, the blessed in
fluence of the messages deli vered
by such noble characters as his
lead the wanderers home?

One Empty Jail •
Out of the 146 county jails now
standing in Georgia, 145 harbor
fail birds, and one cage is empty.
The fail which has the honor of
not holding a single inmate is in
Mclntosh county. The circuin.
stance is so unusual that letters
have been written form the capitol
to Mclntosh county ofiicals con
gratulating them on the retmrn of
the millenium in their territory.
An interesting fact, worthy of
note in every other county in Geor
gia, is the fact that the Mclntosh
people themselves ascribe the em
ptiness of their jail to the fact that
“pistol-toting!’ has almost been
alsilished by giving every convicted
offender, white or black, the limit
of the law, on the chaugung.
Three Children Dead
A horrible trageby occurred in
the Kolesson family on the banks
of the Suwanee river in Lafayette
county, Florida Wednesday after
noon, when thiee ehiklern met
death, two from shake bite, and the
thiid from drowning.
Mrs. Kolesson sent her little boy
to deliver a message, put-before the
child h id gone every far his screams
attracted the mother, who busy
with her baby, sent a younger
child to ascertain the truble. Pres
entyl the screams of the second
child attracted the mother, who
put her baby on the floor and ran
to their assistance. As she saw a
rattlesnake siuking its lings into
the smaller child.
After beating away the snake
M rs. Kolesson gathered thechilderu
in her arms and started for home,
where both died within a few min
utes. In the meantime the baby,
left at home alone, fell into a tub
of water and was drowned.
Paint or not
Is a house worth more or less
after feed?
Hay and oats are high today;
shall I wait today and feed him to
morrow?
That’s how men do about paint
ing their houses aud barns and
fences. Paint has been high for
several yea is; and so they have
waited. Paint is high yet; they
are still waiting; thousands of ’em
are waiting; for paint to fall.
Their property drops a trifle a
year aud the next job ot paint
creeps-up creeps-up creeps up; it’ll
take more paint by a gallon a year;
they didn’t save a cent, and the
pro pety goes on suffering.
