THROUGHOUT gJIGOUNTY. 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. CURE ALL TOUR FAIRS WITH Pain-Killer. A Medicine Chest in tteeit.

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.

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. Mrs. W. M. Dyer, Mrs. H. Randall, Mrs. K. McKelvey,Miss T. Moore, Mrs. M. Maxwell, Miss C. Bruce, Miss M. Moore, Mrs. A. H. Mayson. Resigned His Position, Mr. J. M. Davidson has resigned his position as depot agent for the W. & A. Railroad at Kingston.

H. Y. Walker, Pres. B. S. Purse, M’g’r. H. I. Lumpkin, Sec’y & Treas. 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.
