FORD.
Miss Alley May Arnold is vis
ting friends and relatives at Ford.
Miss Ina Vamnetre arrived home
last week from Wesle> an College
quite sick and is no better at this
writing.
Joshua Moore, one of our suc
cessful farmers, bought the Van
metre place last week for $2,000
as we were told shortly after the
purchase.
Mrs. C. R. Stone, of Ford, is
visiting friends and Relatives at
Rome.
Arthur Dodd was out last Sat
urday evening casting some beau
tiful smiles around from under the
canopy of anew buggy —we guess
he is tired of a bachelor's life and
is now going to make a more last
ing impression on his best girl’s
mind.
It’s quite early for Santa Claus,
but nevertheless, they tell us he
has done paraded the road between
here and Rome.
The shortage in the cotton crop
is now being realized more fully
even by the most sanguine farm
ers of this section. We don’t
know what figures were finally set
tled down on last season as to
the number of bales made, but our
opinion is that the present crop
will be fully as short as it was last
year, because there is only one
month of forms for the crop and
fully one-third of them were des
troyed bv rain and wind.
Our people think that President
Roosevelt lias shown a great weak
ness by dining Booker T. Wash
ington and, not only this, but has
made a long stride in the direction
of causing greater trouble between
the two races. Booker T. Wash
ington is a person we have always
looked upon as being in pursuit of
a higher object than he dared to
express. Whether he has attained
his object or not there is one thing
that he has done by the act shown
a great and damaging weakness to
both races.
L<IN WOOD.
The news of the community is
scarce. Everybody so busy, there
is not very much to be gathered in
the way of news.
There has been several bales of
cotton sold from the community,
which brought a very fair price.
Corn is generally good.
The Clifford Stone Cos. is doing
a very good business.
The saddest thing that has oc
curred lately, was the accident at
the syrup mill last Wednesday.
Little Tommie Lumpkin, a very
smart and intelligent child of
twelve years, was trying to feed
the mill, and his pants caught on
the cog, and the flesh was torn off
near to the bone, above the knee.
Drs. Bowdoin and Bradley dressed
the wound, and at this writing he
is doing very well but we fear it
will somewhat lame him for life.
He stood the operation finely for
one of his age.
The protracted meeting at the
Methodist church of this place,
closed last night. There have been
fine sermons preached from thebe
ginning, but sinners are hard to
move. There were no accessions
to the church,which is a grievance.
We hope the Lord will show them
the error of their way before it is
entirely too late.
Thinks He Will Run-
Atlanta Constitution.
Judge A. W. Fite, of Carters
ville, was one of the leading north
Georgians in Atlanta yesterday.
He came down to be with the leg
islators and to take in the fair and
other sights. Judge- Fite, it is
probable will be a candidate for
congress to succeed Congressman
Maddox. In speaking of his pro
posed race yesterday he said:
“While I have not yet fully’’ made
up my mind, I am inclined to think
I will run.”
Judge Fite is well known in
political circles and has many
friends not only in his district but
all over the state. The race be
tween him and Congressman Mad
dox will be watched with interest.

Why we have you for a ruler
Of hll this great wide land.
You dismissed your colored servants,

And when you want a nigger,
You invite oue in to dine.
A nation mourned its murdered cnief
With a grief that's never lesser.

To blush for his successor
Andi guess the little Roosevelts
Did nothing else but snicker
To see their honored father sit.

MRS. W. H. FFLTON
Talks of Mrs, Gibson’s Death and
SacredCround Where She Rests.
Editors News and Courant.
If you can spare the space, I
should be glad to furnish your
readers with some pleasing recol
lections which came into my mind,
when I stood by the open grave of
Mrs. Sarah Leake Gibson, who
was buried in Cartersville ceme
tery on Sunday morning, October
13, 1901.
The ground upon which she,
her father and mother and first
husband will rest until the resur
rection day, was presented to the
Cartersville Methodist church, by
her father, Mr. John Leake, Sr.,
who died about fiity years ago.
The first Methodist church in
this vicinity was erected vvithi 1
the present cemetery inclosure,and
was afterward moved to Carters
ville and placed on its present
beautiful site.
The elder Mr. Leake, was a de
voted Methodist, and he was loyal
to every interest of the church.
I had been a resident of this
county but a short time when I at
tended church services at the res
idence of his widow, who was then
an invalid and unable to leave her
home. Mrs. Leake, the elder, was
in full sympathy with her hus
band’s religious views.
It was in such a home they
reared their children. But two of
the family now survive, Capt.
Fletcher Leake (who was the only
oue of them at the funeral of Mrs.
Gibson) and Dr. W. W. Leake,
aged and infirm, who lives at Or
lando, Fla., and his good wife,
passed over the riyer about a
month ago, leaving him in deep
sorrow.
When I first came to the county
Miss Sallie Leake was a young
woman, but she shortly afterward
married Rev. S. H. Smith, who
was long a resident of Cartersville
and editor and proprietor of the
Cartersville Express newspaper
for a long term of years.
Several times I was a guest at
their hospitable home and some of
my pleasantest memories are con
nected with their hearty welcome,
kind words and loyal friendship.
Mrs. Smith, afterwards Mrs.
Gibson, was a model housekeeper.
Her table was as near perfection
in excellence, as the times allowed.
They had the tact for making you
feel comfortable in their home,
wdiile they fed you with the very
best their means allowed.
Mrs. Gibson knew exactly bow
to serve her delicious viands—her
table was exquisite in taste and
pleasing variety.
Rev. Sam Jones recalled some
of these things in his remarks at
her grave, while he said many
comforting words to the sorrowing
ones who mourned her loss.
Mr. Gibson, and her two sons
Fletcher and Pope Smith, survive
her. and it was gratifying to them
to have their own friends and the
friends of the wife and mother, lay
her remains away so tenderly in
her last resting place.
As my eyes roved over the beau
tiful landscape, the glorious wea
ther bringing to view far distant
hills as well as fertile plains, my
mind went back to the time when
the grandfather of these Smith
boys, and father of the dead wo
man, also looked over his posses
sions, and picked out this lovely
spot, on which to place a house of
worship, and generously donated
it for that purpose.
Now the graves of those he lov
ed in life and whom he blessed
with his labor and affection, were
being gathered one by one to the
same spot that he had given to the
worship of the Most High God,
and their friends are glad to recall
sweet memories and good deeds
for anew generation.

* A Tribute to a Good Woman-
Since our last W. M. S. met our
dear sister, Lue E. Sheats, has
been called to her “Heavenly
home.” She has crossed the "River
of Death” and entered the celestial
city, where there is no more pain,
suffering or sorrow. Happy thought
she will spend eternity in the pres
ence of her Savior,with loved ones,
who have gone before.
Her Christian life began in our
church; and what a model Chris
tian she was. She identified her
self with every church work, was a
teacher in the Sunday school, so
long as her health and domestic
cares admitted of her regular at
tendance. Was with us in the or
ganization of the first Woman’s
Missionary Society, and was one
of our best members. She occu
pied the office of president, and
later as vice president, which office
she was holding when she left us
to cross the river. Her pew at
prayermeeting and regular church
service was seldom vacant. If so,
we knew she was unavoidably de
tained.
Her good influence was felt
more in her family circle. Her
home life was beautiful. As wife,
mother, sister and aunt, few ex
celled her. Possessed with a gen
tle spirit, her influence was more
felt than seen, and that influence
will live for time to come.
Though she sleepeth, she still
lives in that quiet influence.
We will long remember her gen
tle words, her readdress to excuse
the shortcomings of others. In
our many years of association with
her, I cannot recall one evil worn
spoken by her of any one. If she
could not say something good, she
was silent, but generally,she would
say something in their favor, It
may have been a simple speech,
yet it poitrayed the heart of the
speaker.
May we cherish her memory,
imitate her virtues, and at last
meet her in the Christian’s home of
Glory.

A man talks about owning his
business. But, as a matter of fact
his business owns him. His whole
life is regulated by the demands of
the business. The time at which
he rises, his breakfast hour, the
time given to meals, are all deter
mined by business obligations. He
rusnes through lunch because he
“can’t spare the time from bus
iness” to eat leisurely. He won’t
take a,rest because he is needed at
the store or office. He is in fact
an absolute slave to business. The
results which follow this slayery
are to be seen on every hand. Men
dyspeptic, irritable, nervous, with
drawn faces and hollow eyes, sit at
the desk or stand behind the coun
ter until they collapse in a fit of
sickness, or are taken away by
heart failure. Those who cannot
escape the exactions of business
will find a friend in Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery. It
strengthens the stomach, increases
the action of the blood-making
glands, increasing the vitality and
physical vigor. It makes men
strong and prevents those business
break downs which so often ter
minate fatally.
