I» iMA'inory of Mrs. Kate
Chambers 31 i«l<11 ebrooks.
-
Mrs. Kate Chambers Middle-
brooks, wife of Mr. C. W. Middle-
brooks, was born in Jones county,
Georgia, February 5, 187*2, and
died at her home near Haddock,
Georgia, October 21, 1908, being
! at her death in her thirty-second
year. Her father was the late
Capt. W, A. Chambers, a highly
respected citizen of this county,
mid kw mother still survives her.
She was married to Mr. C. W.
Middleiuoofive January 17, 1898,
who, with three little children, is
left to mourn her early departure
to tho spiritual world.
Airs. Middlebrooks joined the
Methodist chu*ch when she was
fourteen years of age, and her
whole life was given to the service
ofherLord. She lived a consist-
out and faithful Christian life,
and now the Master, “whoso she
was aiul whom she served, "has
taken liar,-to live wit'fc Him in the
house of many mansions winch
He has prepared £oir all who love
and servo Sod. We speak with
confidence of her as being among
those svRo dwell in those man¬
sions becouso of tho life bIio lived
while on earth; and those who
knew her best could not think of
her being anywhere now Gian
among that holy company “who
have come out of great tribula¬
tion and have washed their robes
and made them white in the blood
of the Lamb, who fetide them un¬
to living fountains of water and
wipes away all tears from their
eyes.” It should add much to the
comfort and consolation of her
loved ones to think of her today
as having entered into that bless¬
ed realm where sorrow, pain and
deatli shall never he known after
she "had suffered for so many
years. During all her afflictions
she was ever patient and submis¬
sive to the diving will, and no
word of complaint against God’s
ways ever escaped her lips. On
the other h ind she was cheer¬
ful and hopeful until hope for re¬
covery was gone; and thou for
many days she lingered on tho
brink of the dark stream, and
waited confidently for the unseen
boatman to come who was to steer
her epirit safely over the stormy
tide to tho haven of eternal life,
“where the sun never sets and the
leaves never fade. J > Her life vras
in no wise a fruitless mission, but
it will centinuo to bear fruit in
the coming years; and many rise
up to call her blessed and to
praise the noble virtues of her
blautiful character. Long shall
livs in tb® memory of all who
kiww her her example of patience
in suffering aiid of faithfulness to
duty.
Mrs. Aliddlebrooks was faithful
in all the relations of life, and
discharged in noble fidelity all
the duties that came to her hand,
Her mother and husband declare
that’:’ che did all that could bo
asked of her ns daughter and wife,
and her devotion to her children
and friends was indeed beautiful
and sincere. 'Phis testimony from
(hose who knew her in the most
intimate relationship reveals to
us a beauty and nobleness of
character that is a more valuable
heritage to her family than great
wealth in material things. We
thank,God for her beautiful, pa¬
tient life and her final victory
over death and her glorious crown-
ing.
Mrs. Aliddlebrooks? home is
dark and her loved ones are sad
because she is no more here to
help and bless them as she did
when among them, but they do
not mourn as those who have no
hope, for they know where to find
her. Upon them we pray heaven’s
richest benedictions as they pass
under the shadows of this great
sorrow', and commend them for
consolation to the Christ who was
her strength in suffering aiul who
gave her victory over the last en-
emy. John P. Erwin.

Augusta, Ga., Nov. 1J, 1908.—
Tho old veterans arc hero in abun-
dance and the city has been com-
pletely turned over to (hem. They
are nicely cared for and ore hov-
mg a good time. They have met
so many times at the different
reunions that a great many of
them from different parts of tho
country have become personally
acquainted with one another,
calling each other by m*mo. Still
there is such a brotherly or fellow
feeling among all tiie old veter-
ans thatthey treat cno another
as though they woro all from the
some place. JEsosjpfc during the
business meetings at tho hall tho
old veterans and everybody else
were on Broad street, laughing,
talking, throwing confetti and do-
ing every other thing like fun.
South Carolina veterans are on
hand to meet those from Georgia
and help to-twof 1 tho crowd.
Tho carnival is on in full fc,rco,
with its flying jenny, Ferris
wheel, wheels of fortune and ev¬
ery thing elso to make up wlmt is
termed “midway,”
Among this immense multitude
of fifty or -se-venty-five thousand
people I have not seen a single
drunk man, not a fight nor any
one mad.
Miss Laura Gault of Louisville,
Ky., is perhaps the most conspic¬
uous fignro a-fc the reunion. Tho
diamond ring presented to her by
the veterans was a deserved com¬
pliment. Her election asQueenof
the Carnival was indeed timely,
but I cannot agree with tne Au¬
gusta Camp, No. 48, in its propo¬
sition to elect her at the next U.
C. V. meeting as “Daughter of
the Confederacy” to succed Win¬
nie Davis, nor have I yet found a
Jones county veteran who ap¬
proves of Die plan of Aliss Gault
being called The Daughter of the
Confederacy. I s?oui4 not for any
consideration dotr&et a thing from
little Aliss Gault and will go as
far as to state that I heartily ap¬
prove of the Alabama plan of
making her perpetual sponsor.
The Alabama proposition ought
to satisfy all parties concerned.
Augusta is indeed a manufac¬
turing town. Almost all its vast
machinery is run by water power
from a Oinal which is in some
places on a level with the tops of
houses. The water of this canal
rushes right through the heart of
the city lik'd a river. ' The city
owns the canal and sells (he pow¬
er to individuals and firms at so
much per horse power. The canal
is ten inilos long and all the ma¬
chinery run by water power from
it is put up on the side next to
the river and tho escape water
makes its way to the river through
culverts to a certain point near
the lower edge of tho city, when
the canal bends back up tho river
in an ox bow' shape and makes its
way into tho river through what
D known as “Hawk’s Gully,”
which was a liltlo ravine before
the catuvl was built. The ox bow
part of the canal is so airanged
that one side of tho bow is higher
than tho othor and all factories
and such like are built inside of
the bow and the water from the
high part, after turning the ma¬
chinery, passes into tho lower
part and on to the river. The ca¬
nal is one of the prettiest piecee
of civil engineering I have over
noticed. The bridges and culverts
so nicely hide the canal that a
person walking over the city
would hardly notico that there is
ono.
Almost all the business of An-
is done on Broad street,
which is the widest I have ever
seen and is about three miles long.
The city is well supplied with ho¬
tels, restaurants and barrooms.
Hampton Terrace a hotel in
North Augusta, and Bon Air, in
Summerville, a town outside of
the city limits, are usually filled
with wealthy tourists. Bon Airis
built entirely of wood and is a
beauty. It is tho most inviting
place I have found on rny entire
trip.
There is no end to handsome
negro school buildings in Augus¬
ta. If such things ever produet-
a negro congressman it looks like
Augusta might incubate one,

TIIE BEST REMEDY FOR
CROUP.
f Froi.i Atchison, Kan., Daily .Globe.]
Tli.is js the season when the
woman who knows the best reme¬
dies for croup is in demand in ev¬
ery neighborhood. One of the,
most terrible things in the world:
is to be awakened in the middle
of the night foy a whoop from one
of the children. The croup reme¬
dies are almost as sure to bo lost,
in case of croup, as a revolver is
sure to bo lost in easo of burglars.
There used to bo an aid-fashioned
remedy for orotfp, known as hive
syrup and tolu, but some modern
mothers biiv that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is better and does
not cost so much. It causes the
patient to “throw up the phlegm » >
quicker, and gives relief in h
shorter time. Give this remedy a*
soon as tho croupy cough appears
and it will prevent the attack.
It never fails and is pleasant
and absolutely safe to take.
