The past week has been dark and

during this inclement weather, but
despite this fact we had large crowds
and plenty of good things to feast the

You enjoy good health, peace and

tion of such blessings? Pitch in and
do something, be enterprising, hustle
and keep hustling to put Hamilton on
an equal footing with other progress¬
ive towns. You can do it.
RESOLUTIONS
OF RESPECT
Wo, the committee, appointed by
the fourth quarterly conference of the
Hamilton circuit, to present to this
body resolutions upon the deaths of
Bros. J. M. Moore and Dr. W. C.
Delaunar, who were members of this
conference, submit the following:
Whereas,.on the 4th day of June,
190(5, God in His wisdom, removed
from this world Bro. J. M. Moore,
who was born in 1834, in Harris
county, was converted in 1868 and
joined Smyrna M. E. church, and
was for several years a faithful and
efficient member of this conference,
and a man with silent disposition,
noble, unselfish, patient, humble, a
life full of good works and kindnesses,
a kind father, affectionate husband,
attentive neighbor, an excellent citi¬
zen and Christian gentleman.
Whereas, on the 24tli day of Aug,
1906, to whom time hail brought no
decay of body, mind or reputation,
but only a steady growth and meridi¬
an elevation in character, in influence,
in usefulness and in the esAeem of his
fellowmen, and just at a time when
he was being fully appreciated and
loved as a skillful physician, a do
voted husband and father, a true
friend, kind neighbor, a Christian gen¬
tleman, ami this conference a zealous
and faithful member?’^ tod translated
thespirit of Dr. W. C. DeLamar
from earth to mansions of rest above.
Horned in 1873, in Harris county,
in early life ho learned the simplo
story of the cross us taught him by
his parents, and in July 1887, was
converted and joined Smyrna M. E.
church.
Therefore, Be it resolved, That we,
as a conference, bow with submission
to the will of God, and feel that in
the deatli of Bros. Moore and DeLa
mar, the community, the families, the
church, and teis conference lias sus¬
tained an impartible loss, ami yet we
may derive profit by dwelling upon
their worth and recounting their
virtues.
Resolved, That we will cherish
their memory, imitate their virtues
and strive t»> meet them in that beau¬
tiful world beyond the stars.
Resolved, That we extend to the
bereaved families our deepest sympa¬
thy, and commend to them that Sav¬
ior in whom they trusted for comfort
and consolation in tin’s their great be¬
reavement.
Resulved, That a copy (liege reso¬
lutions be spread upon the minutes of
this conference and a copy sent to
each of the families and the Hamilton
Journal requested to publish same.

There are men who expect an ed¬
itor to slave day after day and week
after week in defense of their rights,
advocate their views ami interests
against the strongest opposition, and
then coolly withhold the business sup¬
port by which alone a small newspa¬
per can live.—Turner County Banner.
The Old Time Religion.
The world needs a genuine revival j
of the old time religion. Religion*
which tills the universe with love—
the love which worketh no ill to one’s
neighbor—the love which spurns lim¬
itation and recognizes the universal
brotherhood of mail—love the peace¬
maker and healer of strifes, the oil on
the troubled waters, the l>ow of prom¬
ise in the storm.
Give us this and the ills which af¬
flict mankind will disappear like snow
before the warm rays of the noon-day
sun.
The old time, old fashioned religion
is a sure panacea for all the woes
which betide us.—Ex.
We’ve a mind to challenge our
friend, R. G. Jlooten, to mortal com¬
bat. Yes, we’ll do that very tiling,
and fight it out with corn cobs, at
( .[ ojte range, say two hundred yards
apart. We know we have never done
him any bodily injury, hut last Sat¬
urday, with a premeditated design to
scare us to death, he walked into our
sanctum and-flung down) a whole dol¬
lar before us and demanded that
we keep the- whole thing. Well, it
was a terrible shock but we have
about survived and are waiting’’for
the next. * ’
A GOOD MAN
PASSES AWAY
Tlio many frjends and aequaint
! auces of Mr. Milliner Martin, through
, out the county, will lie grieved to
learn of his death which occurred at
his home at Antioch, last Saturday
afternoon.
Mr. Martin was a South Carolinean
by birth, but came to Georgia in the
thirties and had resided at Antioch
for forty-five years. At his death,
this venerable gentleman was ninety
three years old.
Four children survive him, two
daughters in Columbus, one daughter
in Opelika, ami Rev. C. A. Martin,
of Hamilton, a well known and high¬
ly respected citizen.
Mr. Martin had been a consistent
member of the Baptist church for
for forty years.
The funeral took place from Anti¬
och church ami the interment was in
tliefamily burying ground near that
place.
Negro Sold
Stolen Cotton
Ed O’Neal, a Harris county negro,
was tried by the recorder at police
court Monday morning, on two serious
charges, carrying concealed weapons
and stealing, cotton, and was bound
over on both charges to the city court
in the stun of $100 in each ease. The
bonds were not made and the negro
was sent to jail to await trial by the
city court. The city court is in ses¬
sion now and it it is probable that Lie
will be tried at this session. Al¬
though the cotton was stolen in Har¬
ris county, the Supreme Court not
long since decided that in a ease like
this, the offender can he tried in the
county in which the cotton was sold.—,

The Value of a Smile.
Who can toll the value of a smile?
It costs the giver nothing, but is be¬
yond price, to the erring, and relent¬
ing, the sad and cheerless, the lost
and forsaken. It turns hatred into
love, revenge into kindness, and
paves the darkest paths with gems of
sunlight. A smile on the brow be¬
trays a kind lioart, a pleasant friend
and affectionate disposition; it adds a
charm to beauty and makes the face
of a lovely woman resemble an angel.
A happy home with loving smiles is
a heaven on earth.
Do Editors Lie?
A preacher came at us- the other
day in this way; You editors do not
tell the truth. If you did you could
not live. Your newspapers would lie
a failure. To which we replied about
as follows: You are quite right, and
the minister who will, at all times,
and under all circumstances, tell the
whole trutli about his members, alive
or dead, will not occupy his pulpit
more than one Sunday, and then he
will find it necessary to leave town,
in a hurry, too.
The press and the pulpit go hand
hand with whitewash brushes and
pleasant words, magnifying little virt¬
ues into big ones. The pulpit, the
pen, and the , grave stone are the
great saint-making triumvirate.—

The protracted meeting at the
Methodist church which commenced
last Saturday a week ago, closed
Wednesday night. Rev. Walter R.
Hanson, of Browton, Ga., preached a
series of earnest and forceful sermons
well calculated to arouse the spiritual
thought of the community. He is
one of the most earnest preachers who
ever spoke in Hamilton.
No additions were made to the
church, but much good of a lasting
nature, we hope, was accomplished.
Rev. ^tkloson Coming.

NUMBER 40
SAD DFATH AT
MOUNTAIN HILL
Once again the deatli angel has vis¬
ited our community and filled our
hearts with sadness.
Tuesday night, Sept. 26th, the si¬
lent messenger bore the spirit of little
Fannie George Smith to a Home of
peace and rent.
For four brief years she was tho
joy and sunlight of her home, and
had endeared herself to everv one by
her sweet, winsome wars.
Our God who knows the end from
the beginning, makes no mistakes; all
His wise purposes may not be under¬
stood by us now, but some sweet day
we will know why He takes from us
those whom we love so dearly, and
whose presence here on earth was so
essential to our happiness, and until
then let each and all of hs who are
called on to port with our loved ones
say: “The Lord gave and the Lord
taketh away. Blessed lie the name
of the Lord.”
This lovely bud so young and fair,
(Jailed hence by early doom;
Came to show how sweet a flower
In paradise would bloom.
Ere sin could harm, or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to Heaven conveyed
And bade it blossom there.
A. M. M.
Little Fannie George Smith.
Once again lias the death angel vis¬
ited in our midst and taken from us
the sweet little daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. A. Hmith.
Little Fannie George was four
years old. She was an unusually
bright child, and was indeed a little
sunbeam to all who knew her.
Her death was caused from some¬
thing like membraneous croup, last¬
ing only one week.
We cannot understand God’s deal¬
ings w ith us, but are assured that He
has a purpose in taking this little
darling from us. Her little soul is
in Heaven, free from all the trials
and troubles that we, who are left
here, will have to indure. Gone |to
Heaven, there to await the coming of
papa and mama, brother and sisters.
Sweet little darling, light of the home,
Lookiug for some one, boekoniug
come;
Bright as a sunbeam, pure as the dew,
Anxiously looking, loved ones, for
you.
May God comfort the family in
this their sad bereavement.
