A DESERVED TRIBUTE
TO TWO GOOD PEOPLE.
Editor Winder News:
J \Allow me to speak of the lives of
two friends who completed their
work here just a few days ago and
crossed over to join the immortal.
( The one a lady, the other a gen
tleman, both of whom I have known
since boyhood days and whom I have
honored and respected throughout
these years of acquaintance.
When Mrs. Annie Hancock depart
ed this life Jefferson lost one of her
brightest and most noble women, one
whose conception of woman’s mission
on earth was my ideal.
Asa young lady she was stately,
dignified, sincere and ambitious. Am
bitious to know and to do all neces
sary towards the building of an ex
alted character of pure womanhood.
She strove earnestly to arouse the
same ambition in the hearts of those
whose lives touched hers. Asa
matron she sought to be a helping
queen of her household, the honored
wife, the loving mother of well-nur
tured and admonished sons and
daughters. Though cut short of the
allotted time given for human life,
she gave her people a Well-rounded
life work of Christian womanhood.
When death claimed J. J. Petty
john, one of Jefferson’s noblest citi
zens was taken. He may not have
been blessed with what the world
calls culture, but the rugged, hones
ty, truth and sobriety of this depart
ed friend challenges the scats of
learning for higher culture.
Of him, his lamented step-son once
said to me, “He is the grandest man
*on earth. My real father could
have shown no more interest in my
welfare than he has ever shown.
There is nothing little about him.
Kind, obliging, truthful and honest at
all times.’'
My long acquaintance, and I might
say friendship, ' with Mr. Pettyji/nil
would not warrant a challenge of
this strong language.
He Was physically and morally a
courageous man. The emotions ot
friendship moved in his breast as
quietly and steadily as deep water.
I did enjoy meeting him, shaking his
hand and feeling it rest upon my
shoulder in a friendly sort of way.
“Oh, the world’s a curious compound
With its honey and its gall,
With its care and bitter crosses,
But a good world after all.
And a good God must have made it
Leastwise that’s what I say,
When a hand rests on my shoulder
In a friendly sort o’ way.’"
J. N. ROSS.

WE SHO ULD SMILE.
The thing that goes the farthest toward making life worth while
That costs the least and does the most is just a pleasant smile—
The smile that bubbles from the heart that loves its fellow men
Will drive away the cloud of gloom and coax the sun again.
It’s full of worth and goodness, too, with manly kindness blent;
Itls worth a million dollars and it and 4~>sn’t cost a cent.
There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile.
It always has the same good 100k —it’s never out of style;
It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue —
Ruch. dimples of encouragement are good for me and you.
So smile away; folks understand what by a smile is meant—
It’s Worth a million dollars and it doesn’t cost a cent.

PAY. TRY THEM.
FARMERS SHOULD USE
ADVERTISING COLUMNS.
That the farmer can use advertis
ing to just as good advantage as the
merchant has been proved by sever
al wide-awake agriculturalists, ac
cording to report-s from the govern
ment.
One southern farmer had some corn
to sell. It was good corn, the prioe
was right, but the farmer had no
time' (to peddle it. He called up the
office of his home newspaper and
gave an order for a four-line adver
tisement. Before the week was out
he had sold his 420 bushels at good
figures. The next year the farmer
had learned the uses of advertis
ing, so he spread out a little. He
sold farm products amounting to *1 ,-
000 for an advertising expense of ten
dollars.
