IN MEMORIAM.
‘ ‘Like a shadow thrown softly
and sweetly from a passing
cloud,” death fell upon little
Pope Waits, son of Dr. and Mrs.
W. J. Waits, and on September
22, 1908, he entered upon life
eternal in Mansions above.' The
death of the little one is particu
larly sad, as he had just reached
his third birthday. He was the
pride and inspiration of a de
voted father and mother. Al
though so very young, he had
many traits of character to en
dear him to his friends, who
knew him better as “Little Dr.”
as he might be seen daily, riding
witfi “Daddy” on his calls to-the
sick ones who could not help but
feel refreshed after being visited
by one so sweet and interesting.
His going has left a vacant
place in the home, and an aching
void in the hearts of parents,
relatives and friends.
“There’s a pair of little hands
Laid to rest forevermore;
Theres two pearly dimpled cheeks
Whose rich blossoming is o’er;
Death has sealed two little eyes,
That no more smile or weep;
Tiny windows of the soul,
Little baby’s gone to sleep.
There’s another bud removed,
Ere it felt the blight of sin;
Through the door the angels made
Darling baby has passed in.
Far beyond the azure skies,
Where the tiny star eyes peep,
From all earth’s sad doubts and
fears,
Little baby’s gone to sleep.
Angels bore him safely home,
So for him we may not weep;
Softly to the doorway come,
Little baby’s gone to sleep.”
We may not now understand
why sorrows and afflctions come
to us, but with faith and love we
must wait until eternity’s sun
light shall dispel the shadows,
and our God shall stand revealed
as a loving wise Father, “Who
doeth all things well.” We
thank God that though separated
from him for a season we shall
see him again and realize —
“What bliss is born of sorrow
JACKSON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1908.
Tis never sent in vain,
The Heavenly Surgeon means to
save,
He gives no useless pqin.”
May the Father of mercies in
whose promises we have such a
sure resting place, give help to
the bereaved ones in their sorrow.
One Who Loved Him.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
*
Dear Sir: Being a candidate
for State Pension Commissioner,
I pledge that, if elected, I shall
faithfully, honestly and impar
tially perform all the duties of
the office. I herewith present
you copy of clipping from the
Atlanta Journal; and one other
fact I wish to state, is that I
saved the farmers 100 pounds of
cotton on each ton of commercial
fertilizers by resolutions I put
through the Grange. Farmers
can now reciprocate, if they de
sire. I ask your vote and in
fluence, and thank you in advance
for what you do in my behalf.
I leave it to you, gentlemen, to
place me before the public.
Very Truly,
B. L. Hearn.
“B. L. Hearn of Atlanta, for
merly of Cairo, Ga., a veteran of
company IT, Sixth Georgia, has
announced his candidacy for pen- v
sion commissioner.
Mr. Hearn has an honorable
record. He was wounded at the
battle of Fort Harrison, Va.,
September 29, 1864, and lost one
of his legs as a consequence of
the wound. After the war he
collected taxes in Miller county
for awhile, moving to Cairo in
1871 and living there till 1892,
when he came to Atlanta.
During the years he was a citi
zen ot Cairo, Mr. Hearn did much
to establish his name with the
progress of that town. He suc
ceeded by his own personal efforts
in securing a charter for the
Masonic lodge there. He was
elected its first master in recog
nition of his efforts, and today is
the senior past master of the
lodge.
He started the subscription
which built the First Baptist
church in Cairo. The church
was recently rebuilt in brick and
Mr. Hearn’s name was placed in
the cornerstone as one of the
founders. Later, he served as
auxiliary in the erection and
maintaining of the Presbyterian
church in Cairo.
Mr. Hearn served for five
years as a member of the town
council of Cairo. In 1875 he sold
out his merchandise and took up
farming. He joined the grange
organization and became one of
its prominent officials.
Mr. Hearn announces his can
didacy with confidence that the
voters of Georgia will give his
past record their favorable con
sideration.”
