For opening songs, there were a few

Mrs. Tift, President, presiding, after
some touching words of appreciation of
the subject for the day, introduced OoL
O. W. Fulwood, for “A Tribute of Res
pect and Appreciation to the Life and
Character of J; L. Herring.’
OoL Fulwood, an associate of a quar
ter qf • century and a comrade of the
“Old Guard”, spoke eloquently and feel
ingly of the long years of association,
both in nwespaper work and ip other
enterprises for the development of Tifton.
He paid quite a tribute to Mr. Herring’s
work during the war as well as his
previous career and to illustrate the lat

speaking of his service in war work he

which ard given below 4nd others will

She then introduced Editors peorge H.

Jl'DGE THOMAS FACES
BAFFLING PROBLEM
Judge W. E. Thomas, of the Superior
court of the Southern circuit, is con
cerned with a very baffling and difficult
law point now, says the Valdosta Times.
The creation of Cook county from Ber
rien territory leaves the jury box of Ber
rien with about two hundred names in
it. This is not enough to carry on two
terms of the court, without invalidating
verdicts. The law provides for a revis
ion of the jury box every two years, and
makes no provision for contingencies
arising from the creation of new o
ties. Just what can be done to
crease legally the number of names in
the jury box of Berrien and make
dicta hold good is concerning Judge
Thomas. His leisure time is spent in
poring over law books looking for some
method whereby he can prevent the
wheels of justice in Berrien from be
coming clogged. It is a very fine point
of law and local attorneys simply wag
their h^add when Judge Thomas brings
up the subject of his dilemma.
A very spiritual service was. that at
Fifst Baptist church Sunday mornii
the occasion • j&jring the seventh j
sary of Dr. Durden's coming to .
Tho spirit of J^ove aud fellowship permeate
ed every ftatkrs of the service, and Tveht!
with the congregation to their homes.
The pastor’s sermon was more than AO ac
counting qf his stewardship during tht®'
mystic and sacred number of yeara-rit
was the loving talk of a father to his
'Idrta; ot a shepherd to his flock—a
k in which love was the keynote aqd
rau through every cadence. This was)
%like true of the short talks by membcHT/
of the congregation after the sermon., ; ^
Very pleasing features of-the serviefr
were tbq exquisite solo, “He Shall Glva
His Angels Charge Over Thee,” by ; Mia0
Britt, the violin solos by*jtyr. Lawrence '
and the,-choir and congregational
Dr. Dhrdeu’s opening prayer was a p4en
of thanksgiving, , > '
Pastor Durden’s sermon was an ae*
count of his seven years stewardship
which was a masterpiece of eloquence to
which no extract can do justice. •/
•When the.pastor announced the closing '
hymn, Mayor Hargrett arose to speak for'
the Dea'cons of the church. Oar Mayor’s
talk has been called a mosaic—a grouping
’of beautiful thoughts, and that beat'dea*
cribes it He said, in part: *
“A number of the older V- neons qf
your church, who have served. *th you
during the seven years that yW have
been witii'us, have thought it improper
that this day should pass without public
expression of the church’s appreciation of
your work and of its love for you, and
have asked me to be the medium of that
expression.
' “In your sermon this morning you have
referred to^the seven years of service that
Jacob, performed for the .love of a,woman.
It will be remembered thgt at tlfe end of
the seven years Jacob was cheated ont of
that for which he had labored. Let me
assure you, sir, that such it not the case
with reference to your service to this
church, a service that you describe as one
of love. You have had our r re from the
beginning of your labors; you have it
nowl; you will have it as long as we live;
and to that must be added our sincere ap
preciation of your work.
“The depth and sincerity of your relifi* 1
t and the accuracy of your logic have
given your sermons solidity, uniformity
and permanence; your mastery, of English
and your oratory have added polish and
luster that make them to us a string of
precious jewels, to be counted one by one
to be cherished and to be fondled in our
memories. Your life, both public and pri
vate, has been without blemish,—spotless,
perfect,—an inspiration to' those of us
who have seen it, a shining example to
those who will come after us.
“Seven years! Just as the ark of the
convenant was lighted by the seveh lamps
of beaten gold, so have our lives
lighted by these seven years of your ter^
vice. Just as the seven golden lampa
stood out brilliantly against the ^back
ground of the blue, purple and ftarlet '
curtains of the ancient tabernacle, so will
these seven years stand out aginst tho
background of our remembrance.
“Remember, sir, that the happiest
days of Jacob’s service of love came after
his fourteenth year of labor, aud that he
remained with his employer for muny
years after he had received his reward.
Let today be but a milepost dong the
road of your life with us. Abide with us.
Go with us, hand in hand, along the re
mainder of the road that tads only when
it enters eternity.”

talk, Mr. H. L. Cartrwright arose and
invited the congrcgatioa to express its
love and esteem for Mr. Durdon nnd its
appreciation of his seven joars service, #
by a rising vote. The expression was
