In Loving Remembrance of Our Dear Father Mr. A. H. Treadwell. How hard it is to us to see and un derstand why God came on the 6th day of August 1907 and took from us our dear father, he was so dear to us, but Oh ! to think we had the priv ilege to be with him and to help nurse him during his sicknefs, his sufferings were intense but just as he lived he bore it bravely , but Oh ! so many times did he say I want to go home. Our father was born Oct. 10th 1844 and was married to Miss Nancy J. Duffey on November 4th 1866. He was devoted to his wife and children and it was one of the greatest pleas ures of his life to make them happy, Gone ! gone 1 yes father Is gone but God knew best which would be to his happiness, life or death. It may have not been right to have wanted him to stay, but God said no and humbly we should bow and say Thy will be done. We all think death is something awful we never look opon it as carry ing with it anything to bo desired, but death is not an end it is a blow which shoots us into Eternity. To the Christian it is but a swinging door and as it swings wo shall pass into rest. But Oh father how we do miss vou ! but we would not call you back Thou has suffered enough, farewell until He calls us to join thee, Oh! God fill the acheing void thou hast nut into our hearts. Thou alone can give comfort. May God be with his wife ana children the remaining time which they must linger here and fi nally when their days are o’er maj he take them home where their fath er stands waiting and watching for them and may his be the angel hand to pull us over on the other shore. Thou art gone our precious father Never more canst thou return Thou Shalt sleep a peacefol slumber Till the resurrection morn. Clifford Smith. “Bhoutlng." Early Australian gold diggers made many contributions to the slang of that commonwealth. One of those was “shouting,” or standing drinks for everybody within hail, a practice of which the lucky digger was very fond. To refuse to drink with a digger who had “struck It rif-h," or turned up a big nugget, was a deadly Insult. A critic quotes from J. F. Hogan’s “His tory of the Irish In Australia:’’ “Shout ing was at one time almost universal To shout In a public bouse means to Insist on everybody present, friends and strangers alike, drinking at the shouter’s expense. It frequently hap pens that each one ‘shouts’ in succes sion.” The Universe. The heavens themselves, the planets and this center, observe degree, prior ity and place, lnsisture, course, propor tion, season, form, office and custom, and all In line of order.—Shakespeare. JACKSON PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN MONDAY SEPT 2ND. On Monday, September the second, the fall term of the Jackson Public Schools will open. In some towns and communities there is an idea prevalent that the first few days are largely given to or ganization, and that thers is no spec ial nesessity for pupils to enter until the second week, or for several days after the term begins. For the benefit ef the teacher, the pupil, and the school at large wo are very anxious that every pupil that ia able te ds so enter schoel en the very first day. Tho organization is important, and cannot be perfected without the pu pils. A week’s loss, or even two or three day’s loss is more unfortunate at the very beginning than at any other time. One week is left now in which to complete the holiday season, After a long refreshing rest we hope t hat all students are ready for work, and that every clil'd of school age within reach of the schools of this town will find opportunity to ho enrolled as Btu dants for the conning year. As we are dependent very largely upon promotion cards t determine the grade of pupils for the coming year, let us urge every pupil to bring his card the first of echocl in order that no trouble may arise in deter mining the grade lie is to enter. I snail be glad to meet as raiasy ties pup'.* as possible before the opening day of school in order to find out as nearly as I can for whnt grades they are prepared. This will save con siderable time and possibly worry to new students. While there will probably bo no changes at present in the text books used, it will he well for pupils not to purchase books until they are abso lutely certain what they will need. Teachers will give the prepsr lists on the first Monday of school work. All patrons and friends of the school are cordially invited to be pres ent at the auditorium on the naorning that schsol opens. The exercise will be simple, but we hope interesting, and especially so to patrons of the school, Let uil who will be present at eight thirty o’clock, at which time the ex e cises will begin. I shall be glad in the meantime to $1,000.00 Accident Insurance Policy ,THE COTTON JOURNAL OF ATLANTA, GA. offer* one year’s subscription and a 11.000 Accident Insurance Policy for one year with no dues nor assessment* for only $1.50.
