IN MEMORY 0 1 Jiff EDWARDS
who died at his home in Walton
county, five miles south of Winder,
lie was thrown by a mule on Sun
day afternoon, November 29, which
resulted in his death November 30.
He was buri*d at Bethel Baptist
church, of which he was a member.
A large crowd of sorrowing friends
and relatives were present to wit
ness the funeral.
The funeral was conducted by
Rev. J. S- .Settle.
Brother Edwards was .58 years
old. He leavers a wife and seven
children. He was a devoted hus
band, a good neighbor. He was
always willing to help the needy and
we trust he is sharing his reward
with the righteous. May the bless
ings of God rest upon the bereaved
wife and children left behind. He
has left a vacant place in their lion e
that never can be filled. Then
loss is his gain. Fan well dear
father, sweet may be thy rest. Fare'
well till in some happy place we
shall behold thy face again. ’Tis
ours to miss thee all our years, and
tender memories of thee keep thine
in thy Lord to rest, fur He giveth
the beloved sleep.
“Tis hard to break the tender cord,
When love has bound the heart.
‘Tis hard, so hard to speak the word,
We must forever part.’*
“ Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to
wee p.
Securely shall my ashes lie,
And wait the suramo i o:n on
high.”

FREDERICK AND VOLTAIRE.
Stormy Relation* cf the Mierly King
*n*J the Lavish Author.
The world knows plenty about the
elements of strength in the character!)
of groat men. hut loss about their
weaknesses. Here is a story that
shows the other side of the natures of
Frederick the Great and Voltaire:
Frederick the Great had a leaning
toward literature. He wrote poems,
plays and booklets that, in his op ill
lon, possessed rare merit. So 11
seemed fitting to him that great liter
ry men should fraternize, and lie sent
an Invitation to Voltaire to l*e bis
guest Accompanying the invitation
was a sum of money to defray the
great Frenchman’s traveling expense*
to the Prussian capital.
Ixt it be explained at this poi'd that
Frederick was extremely penurious
and that Voltaire was not Ally <x
travagant, but had many of the char
ncteristics of what we would now call
a grafter. It should also lie under
stood that Frederick despised graft
Ing, and Voltaire abhorred miserli
ness.
Voltaire accepted the ini itfttion—and
then had an afterthought. Why not
take a favorite niece with him? So
be wrote to the king that if be would
send an extra thousand louls he would
bring Ihe girl.
“Sir," replied the king. “I did not
ask the young lady to do me the honor
of visiting me, and 1 shall send noth
ing to pay her expenses.”
“Tbe old miser!" said Voltaire to a
friend. “He has tubs of money in bis
treasury, yd will not grant me tbi®
wish."
However. Voltaire went to Berlin* but
each found that he hated the other too
much to make their friendship perma
nent.
Tbe king once gave Voltaire a pack
age of poem* to revise.
“See,” said Voltaire to a German no
bleman, “what a quantity of dirty
linen Frederick lias rent me to wash!”
Tbe king thought his guest wns too
free with the ohoeolate and sugar ami
gave orders that lie be put on a re
stricted daily allowance.
t Voltaire retaliated by fathering ail
the wax eandlee he eould find in the
halls a I'd* storing them in l;ls trunk.
Soon the royal palace Iteoaine too ho!
for him, and he began to pack up.
Then Frederick missed his package of
poems. At once lie scented a plot. Vol
taire intended to take the verses back
home with him and palm them off as
his own. Lord Macaulay has said that
(lie poems were so bad that be was
convinced Voltaire would not for half
of Frederick's kingdom hare consent
id to father them. But the king
thought differently, being tbe author
of tbe poems.
So the Prussian monarch had Vol
taire thrown into jail at Frankfort and
kept him locked up for twelve days.
Sixteen hundred dollars that was
found in his pocket was taken away
from him. Tbe king In the days of
their friendship had given Voltaire a
life pension of $3,200 a year, and the
money that was confiscated was a
semiannual installment.
Thus ended their friendship. - Scrap

Spanish Nickname*.
One ef the peculiar ways in which
Spanish differs from English is in the
names the language gives to all peo
ple with a certain infirmity or peculiar
ity. A blind man is referred to as el
.clego. a man with but one eye is a
tuerto, a pug nosed man is chato, one
who is cross eyed is a bisojo, a cojo is
a lame man, and a mauco has but one
arm. If he is humpbacked, he is a
jorobndo; if baldheaded, a calvo, and
if his hair is very short be is a pelon.
The feminine titles for tbe same classes
are the same, with tbe exception that
they end in “a” where the masculine
terminate with *‘o.” These short names
are used most commouly. In fact, they
are applied as nicknames in many
cases, and especially among the lower
classes persons are addressed or re
ferred to only by these names.

A North Carolina farmer, one morn
ing recently, toM his little son that
he could go to town and see the cir
cus or he would pay him fifty cents
i hundred for all the cotton he could
pick. The little fell aw, being of a
Rockefeller tern of mind, readily
agreed to pick cotton. Besides earn
ing fifty-three cents he found a gold
mind, which will probably mak<
him rich.
Two lumbermen of Oil City, Pa.,
recently took a day off and went rab'
bit hunting. While trailing a rabbit
they run into a hole and digging
their way out unearthed a pot con
taining $2*5,000 in gold and silver
coins.
Moral —Never attend a circus.
If you have no cotton to pick, go
rabbit hunting.
If a men's time is valuable he
dosen’t kill it.
