Was It Done In Macon?
The first page of the Progress eyi

Cordele last week, as one of the best
printers there, Mr. Verona, called up

whether Jay’s advertisement was set
up in this office or in Macon. Every
letter of it is the property of this
office, none of it was bought for that
particular occasion and it was set up
at home without extra help.

Jesus wept at the grave of Laz
arus, and surely he permiis us to
grieve and rejoice when death’s
grim, tireless reaper pjuoks from
our home its tenderest, sweetest,
rarest- flower and leaves the broken
bud to be wafted by the angels
from this mortal tillage to the
deathless mansions above, where
the transplanting will bring forth
a more fitful blooming in a land
where there is an eternal growth as
free from the blights of chilling
frosts and scorohins suns as from
the sickles of time.
Our hearts shall be touched with
the tenderest emotion as long as
memory or imagination bring to
view a single thing that she loved,
re-used the childish play things, her
favorite songs, her hushed piano,
her vacant chair at home, her emp
ty desk *at school, her accustomed
place at Wesley chapel, any of
these will recall vividly the sweet,
dutiful daughter that she was.
Eight years u constant attendant
and member of .the Methodist
church, eighteen years the joy and
pride of the family, loving the home
as dearly as every member loved
her, how can we refrain from ex
pression to our sorrow? .Never
more to hear her merry voice or her
gentle footsteps, never mure to see
her pleasant, patient face, never
more to tell her. faoe to face that
we love. her, seems to be more sor
row than we can bear; yet we will
bow in humble submission to the
God she loved and say: “Thy will
be done on earth as it is in Heaven.”
Because of the sympathy shown
us and the loving kindness shown
her by so many friends and by her
classmates during her last illness,
and because of the kind words of
comfort and consolation spoken by
her pastor, Rev. J. F. Dickinson, at
the last sad rites, we will bear our
grief with a greater fortitude and
again take this method of thanking
our friends, one and all. for their
kind and valuable service.
Sincerely,
Mr. and Mrs.W. R.Vaughn.
