CHERISHED MEMORIES.
Being naturally loud ol Jacksei.,
ts u strange that my thoughts and
sacred recesses ot my heart should
go out in thankfulness te the Gieat
Giver ol all good lor the many sweet
memories, which I am permitted to
cherish ot the two years I dwelt
among and mingled with her people?
During my stay I sipped nectar
from n golden urn, and treasured
might jt wets in the chain ol iriend
ship some ol whom have been trans
planted to a fairer clime.
Huw vividly I now recall the
of little Carter Carmichael,
oim of the brightest jewels in the
chain, ike sweet little playmate,
who you dear childiei:, doubtless
missed I rum his class one morning,
a lew days latei was laid in a close
and nairow grave dose beside little
Jimmie Newin. the little compan
ion ami relative whom he loved so
well
Week have past but his merry,
holiest laugh still rings in our ears
as we write tnese lines,
Yen, as we enter the threshold of
bis home, we can see him with
mother, brothers and sisters ready
to give us the sweet kiss of welcome
ano entertain us with bis bright
bus ol to always listened to with
mi b appreciative *ars. We wer.
si arrd irmn seeing his little bod
racked with pain and treasure the
memorv of seeing him in health
and beauty. Lne would be two
dear weie such sweets permitted to
remain. So the great giver ©aw
that dregs were needed to tie thrown
into our bowl of nectar. Dear be**
loved ones, w'tn an eye ol
fat h, look beyond the dark river,
and behold little Carter as he walks
thesneet3 ol the New Jerusalam.
his heart beatiDg in unison with the
loved one who bad preceded to the
home of the redeemed and blest.
With heart* sure wi u sympathy
we softly breath a prayer that ere
long the sun of your aorrow will set
to be succeeded by a rosier dawn. |
JACKSON, GA., DECEMBER 14, 1893.
We still hold in memory another
brightly cueriehed gem, Mrs. Silas
Thomas, the tender, loving mother
or your uoble young u en.
We were so associated with three
of them as to daily witness
the unfolding of those manly traits,
which boro such beautiful testimony
of the serene, geuie influence of the
faithiul true mother, who lived to
make lile bright and joyous for her
fatherless sons, and hid from sight
the sorrow of her own desolate
heart that the happiness so natural
to youtn, might not be marred by a
single cloud.
Often with a secret sorrow hang
ing with leaden weight over our
hearts, have we been so toothed and
cheered by the sweet gentle inspira
tion ol her presence, as to return to
our duties strengtoeued to cope
with arduous difficulties. Earth
has lest but Heaven has gained a
radiant star.
No, she in not lost to earth for
her fight shiues on and her influence
lor good will throb on througn the
coming years, Like the light of a
blighted star, it will shine ou, auu
ou lung years alter the star ltoeli
is uiutied out from the heavens for
ever.
In her matchless character tnere
was a symmetrical harmouious
blending ol ail that is noble, pure
and beautiful iu woman. Her fine
ly tuned sympathetic nature caugtit
the vibration anti responded te
•yery note of sorrow.
She keenly appreciated and al
ways remembered the duties, re
sponsibilities and graudear ot ner
high Christian calling. Let us, dear
friends aud neighbors, emulate ner
example by carrying the Wi lte ban
ner ofeur Captain high and to the
iroai and when at last, *e are called
Upon io lay it down, we may bear
ibe welcome plaum; “Well uune
thou good and faithful servant.*'
You too, have, leit bright and un
tarnished memories winch will con

nave returned to dust.

angels; h*w the angels calmed their
fears aud told them the good tid

Now look here! We are no kickers,
and none of our ancestors were kickers,
bnt, it does try our feelings to have a man
prance into our sanc'oinm and rave and
rant about “patronizing home mdattries,”
“booming our town,” “helping home en
terprises,” and printing seven or eight
columns about home institutions and then
receive a bill on the first of the mouth
from this same man, who has his printing
done in Atlanta, when he .-‘ould benefit
himself and us by having it done at the
Argcs office in just as good style and at
the same price! No, we are no kickers,
but such things as this are rapidly drifting
us m that direction.
