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.

In 1875 he sold out his merchandise and took up farming. He joined the grange organization and became one of its prominent officials.
