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. Jas. Dunacan, J. W. Cline, R. E. Fort, Sept. 23, 1906. Committee 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.—, Columbus Enquirer-Sun. ———------jj-'wfcr’.'* 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.— Turner County Banner. Protacled Services Close. 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. Rev. E. 8, Atkinson, of McDon¬ ough, Ga., will preach at the Baptist ehureh next Sunday, Oct. 7th. • _ He js a son of the late IleV. W. D. Atkinson who was pastor “of ‘the church here during the war 59 to 63. His mother was a. Mr*. Crook, and was married to'^^.^Y; !). Atkinson’ in the house where Mr. Paul Harri¬ son now resides, . A cordial iuvitatfpu is extended to all to hear him. ■ — • 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. A Friesj>. A Great Gain Day On Which Many Strange Things Wilt Be Seen.
