We get it from a reliable source

Isn’t it a blessed thing to be

Yerterday’s quotations placed
cotton very close to 8 cents.
can be seen at a glance that the
farmers are con troliug the situa¬
tion. If by holding they forced
the market to this point, isn’t it
clear that by holding a while
longer the 10 ceHt mark will soon
be reached? Don’t lose your
good hold by letting your cotton
go at this price, lie who des i ts
at this point is but playing into
the hands of the enemy.
It is earnestly desired that
those appointed last Tuesday t«
take the lead ii. (he reduction of
the cotton acreage in the differ¬
ent districts of the county, will
take up the work with some de¬
gree ot enthusiasm, The time is
growing short and by the next
meeting of the county organiza¬
tion it will bo too late to appoint
others. A few hours of earnest
work will accomplish all that is
asked.

from the roof rushed home and
found that the fire started from a
stove flue. All of the neighbors
rushed in, and though they work¬

of the furniture was saved. There
was no insurance and the loss
falls heavily on Mrs Meeks.

*"-v l » KEV - F. R SMITH,
Clinton, Ga.
In Mmnovium.
The death of Mr Gator Roberts,
of Clinton, Ga., made sad the
hearts of a grief stricken mother,
brothers, sisters, and friends.
Cater was born Nov 27, 1871), and
departed this life March 5, 1905.
Sad, indeed, is the news of the
of n beloved friend; but
sadder still is the voice of death
ton loving mother, a fond sister,
and devoted brother. Our hearts
bleed when we think of the death
of u young man who has just
imuged into the bloom and spring
time of life, with all Ins earthly
hopes, asperntions and opportu-
nities cut off. But our loss is his
heavenly gain. Let this be our
consolation.
Who can tell what the golden
moments have in store for us as
they are borne along on tho swift
and tireless wings of time! Cater
hus gone tc his home beyond this
vale of tears. He was a professed
Christian, having been received
into the Methodist church upon
his profession of his faith in God.
Ho was ever an obedient, affec¬
tionate, and loving son and bro¬
ther. He always regarded it his
duty, privilege and pleasure to
serve the ono who gave him
birth in 9vory devoted way he
could. He seemed to appreciate,
more and more, the older he grew,
the debt of gratitude and love lie
owed his father and mother.
That awful disease—Consump¬
tion—came a short time ago and
siezed its victim with a hard
hard grasp. All that physicians
and loved ones could do, proved
powerless to its clutches, and soon
the death angel caiue to bear the
spirit from this land of sorrows
and troubles to heaven, where
death can never enter and never a
tender tie be broken. Death
semis a wail of woe that is world¬
wide and heart-rending, The
living are left to mourn for their
departed dead. Our loved ones
dying bid us weep not. Rut be¬
reavement softens the heart and
subdues enr spirits. We lose
them and heaven gains them ; but
still we love them. The ties of
love which unite us cannot Vie
broken but they are strengthened
by the hopes that have sprung up
in our hearts of a happy reunion
by and by. We, for a time, hang
out harps on the weeping willows,
and refuse to sing the soul com¬
forting songs of Zion ; “but they
strike theirs in luvelier, loftier
and sweeter strains as they vie
with the blood-washed, white-
robed throng in singing the songs
of Moses and tho Lamb, around
heaven’s eternal throne.”
Wotp m-t, bereaved ones. “The
Lord giveth and tho Lord taketli
away, blessed be tho name of the
Lord.” Cry unto him and he
will give you strength to bear
your burdens of sorrow. We can
hope to meet him in heaven.
“God in liis wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love had given;
And though the body moulders
' here,
The soul is safe in heaven.”
We extend our heartfelt sympa¬
thy to the aged mother, brothers,
and sisters. May God help,
strengthen and guide you in this
trying hour. F M G REUSE
Died,
At her home near Clinton, on
March 12, 1905, Mrs William A
Hudson, nee Miss Mattie Strip¬
ling, daughter of Air and Mrs TJ
Stripling. There are five chil¬
dren,—one daughter and four sons
left to go through the sad exper¬
ience of finding out what home is
without a mother.
“Sweet is the iinmage of a brooding
dove, tender
Holy ns IJeaven, a mother's
love,, this
The only love which on teem¬
ing earth passion’s wayward
Asks no return for
birth.”
When the Reaper comes and
robs home of mother then it is
that his visits are keenest felt.
Mrs Hunsoo had been sick some
time. To those who have suffer¬
ed long death, no doubt, brings re¬
lief—particularly where the af¬
flicted one has lived a Christian
life, thereby, preparing the soul
for the great beyond, as wo are
told this good woman did.
Thcrs is no death, the stars go down.
To rise upon some fairer shore
And bright in heaven's jeweled
crown
They will shine forever more.
Mrs Hudson was a member of
the Methodist church, and the
funeral exercises were conducted
by Rov F R Smith.
