When we undertook the pleas
ant task of writing the locals for
this place we did not know we
wou'd get to report any marriages
but last Sunday we had quite an
exciting time for awhile over a
runaway marriage. Mr. Harry
Hooker and Miss Elsie \\ heeler
left the church and went to Rev
Slavernair’a where he soon unitec
them in marria/e. Mr. Booker
is on*- 4 of our most industrious
young men and his many friends

t ri/.e he has won , if he did have
to steal her, for Miss Elsie is one of
.our n.oat amiable young ladies
We wish them much happiness
.and prosperity.

their own community
PINE LOG.
The ninny friends of Mr. and
Mr* Walter Bradford will regret
to learn of the dentil of their little
sou, Earl, which occurred at their
home near Pine Log, Ga., Thurs*
•day. May 23rd while loading a pis
tol to shoot a chicken, he aeciden
tal'y shot himself. The bullet
entered the upper part of his fore
head and lodged in the back of his
head. He lived about an hour af
ter the bullet pierced his brain. lie
seemed to be conscious of his sur
roundings though he was unable
to speak. This is possibly one of
the saddeßt events in the history of
this community. He had just re
turned from Fairmount, where he
had been in school. His funeral
•took place at the Pine Log church
-on the following day. The large
crowd present and the many flow
•ers placed on his grave was a token
of his many friends. The only
witness to the sad affair was his
Jittle brother Sam who was the
first to, “Break the news to
Mother.” The scene at the bury
ing ground was touching to the
extreme. Many sad hearts gather
ed around the coffiu to see the last
of their beloved 6on and brother
The writer, who was a schoolmate
of the deceased an acquaintance of
the family deeply sympathized
with the terror stricken family.
But let us rest content with the
hope and the assurance of the mas
ter and that we may meet again
in a better world beyond the skies
where “There will be no parting
there,”

words are inadequate to expres the
joy it gave me to see her apparent
ly in perfect health, and when I
last saw her she was a suffering
invalid. It is a well known factt o
the friends of Miss Barbara that
she had suffered uutold agonies for
months, and all the means employ
ed for her recovery failed, until
she went to Dr. Nobie’s sanita
rium at Atlanta, Ga., where she
stayed a few weeks and returned to
her home, with a heart full of
gratitude to Dr. Noble, and feel
ing that he has been the instru
ment in the hands of God in restor
ing her to health, and she would
advise all snffering ones uot to
despair of being restored to health
until they have received treatment
from him. Such a physician is a
blessing to humanity.

IN MEMORIAM.
Master Earl Bradford, son of
Vlr. and Mrs. S. W. Bradford, was
aorn at Pine Log, Ga., August
22nd, 18S4, and met his tragic
death May 23rd, 1901.
As the readers of The News re
member his noble young life was
suddenly cut off by the accidental
discharge of a pistol in his own
land.
Earl was reared at Pine Log and
ns name and goodness will ever
ive in the memory of his play
mates and schoolmates.
II is life was so full of good deeds
and his disposition so amiable, it is
impossible for words to describe
lim as he was. His body now
rests peacefully in Pine Log’s
“City of the dead” but Earl is
not there. He is in a better world
and his rich voice is blending with
i;he music of angels.
Meeting his death at a time when
he was just budding into noble
young manhood, the tragedy was
doutly sad. It is a significant
fact that the angel of death some
time visits the best among us, and
carries off the most precious lamb
in our flocks.
Earl’s character was without
tarnish, his reputation without
blemish, his life without sip. It
can be well said of him as Web
ster said of Monroe “Should his
boul be turned inside out not a
spot could be found upon it.”
“There was not a better boy in
the world” was the unanimous
verdict of all those who knew him.
In his death Pine Log lost one of
her very best boys, Mr. and Mrs.
Bradford a bright jewel, the church
a faithful member, and heaven
gained a soul shining with the
beauty, purity and love of Christ.
Earl waft a member of Pine Log
church, a regular church goer, an
excellent Sunday school student,
and for a boy of his age, manifest
ed unusual interest in the study of
the Bible and sacred things.
He was always reverent, always
polite, always quiet and thought
ful, always diligent, always a gen
tleman in the truest sense of the
word.
He was one of the very few, in
whose life the severest critic could
find nothing to condemn, but
much to commend.
Integrity, honesty, purity, cheer
fulness were the chief traits of his
character and mortal man can pos
sess none better.

Everybody knows what the

chinery means
goodness and nobility ever shone
in his life.
He lived and died, a consecrated
Christian and a model boy. He
was one of nature’s young noble
man, challenging your admiration,
commanding your respect, calling
forth your love, and wmn>g your
confidence.
He was exceedingly bright,
promising and buoyant, full of life
aDd hope. The avenues o-f life
were justopeuing to him , hra was
just standing on the threshold of
manhood, and some of its richest
treasures were held in store for
him. He was of manly bearing
aDd kingly dignity, and had he
lived , he would have made a broad
spirited man and a cosmopolitan
citizen.
He was made out of the material
that men are made of and the fu
ture destiny of America will de
pend upon such as he. His teachers
always spoke of him as a diligent
student, his friends as a genial
companion. In his life his school
mates and playmates will find an
example worthy of their emula
tion and many older heads could
learn a lesson from his spotless
character. It can, indeed, be truly
said that, for him. “Death had no
sting and the grave no victory.”
He has gone to no warrior’s Val
halla for there was no antagonism
in his nature; to no sinner’s home
for there was no sin in his life; to
no region of darkness for sunshine
ever emanated from his pathway.
lie will he greatly missed in bis
circle of friends and acquaintances
his peace will be vacant, his cheer
ful smile and kind words will be
gone, his attractive personality
absent and all will sigh.
