Memorial Tribute.
To the memory of Mrs. Josie J
Riggs Smith, wife of the late Dr.
Monroe Smith, of Atlanta, who de-;
parted this life on tiie 6th inst. at |
her home 459, South Pryor street,
Atlanta, Ga. j
Sister Smith spent her childhood
and early life with her parents in j
their home at Temple, Ga., where in
1892, she united with the Baptist
church, and near the close of the
same year she was married
to Dr. Monroe Smith. Soon
after their happy marriage, they re
moved from Temple to Atlanta,
where they remained in the enjoy
ment of domestic happiness and
financial prosperity, until on Janu
ary 25th, last, the devoted husband
was suddenly called from the ten
der embrace of home and family to
his reward beyond, leaving wife and
two children to mourn his early de
parture, but it seems as if an alwise
Providence did not will that they
should be long separated, as within
the brief period of a few months,
she too was suddenly called to fol
low him, and as we trust to meet
him "In that happy hofne above.”
On the 7th inst. the body was
brought from her home in Atlanta, 1
back to Temple, the home of her
childhood, accompanied by her
mother, sister and two children,
with other relatives and friends
and after funeral services, conducted
from the Temple Baptist church, in
presence ot a large assembly of
sympathizing friends, her remains
were laid to rest beside those of her
husband, in the Bethel church cem
etery.
May a kind Providence shield the
orphan children from all harm and
through riches of grace impart to
them the sweetest comfort of hope.

MRS L. A. PATTERSON, PROP.
Christian gentleman lived is accorded
to but few.
This man lived above, and far
away from the sordid, petty triviali
ties of this world. Courteous, kind,
pleasant, it was ever a joy to be in
his company. It is sad to know
that we can never in this life have
the pleasure of his welcoming hand
shake, or look into his kindly beam
ing eye, or to listen to his sincere
cheery voice.
May we so emulate his virtues
and the stainless life that he lived,
that we may meet again in the
great hereafter. May the Father of
the fatherless, the Husband to the
widow, the Friend to all mankind
sustain and cherish the loved ones
left benind.
I desire to pay this humble trib
ute to my friend and brother.

Helping the Engineer.
During a strike on a railway
much difficulty was experienced in
finding engineers to keep the neces
sary trains running. One of the
substitutes, a young fellow, ran
some distance past a station, and
then, putting back, ran as much too
far the other way. He was prepar
ing to make a third attempt when
the station agent shouted, to the
great amusement of the passengers:
“Never mind, Bob; stay where you
are. We’ll shift the station.”

“I been a-readin’ all your eastern
papers,” commented Grizzly Gits,
the three fingered terror of tlio Bad
Lands, “and I been a-tryin’ to keep
np with the stories therein con
tained. But your sportin’ sections
gets me. I been a-readin’ about
those here fights you nil has back
east. Nine times out of ten the
paper states that ‘the fight ended
in a draw.’ That’s what I can’t
savvy.”
“Why not?” we asked. “When
two men are equally matched why
should not the fight end in a
draw?”
“I guess you have diffrunt kind
0’ fights in yore country. Out here
a fight begins with a draw.”—
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Because in no other way cau we obtain so much
ure, entertainment and information at so little cost.
Because it gives us the means of keeping in touch with
the progress of the age and the trend of human thought.
Because working hand-in-hand with church and school
it i< today one of the most helpful and inspiring educational
movements of the age r
Because it inspires men to greater and better man
hood, and women to a nobler and sweeter womanhood, and
young people to grander effort

The old and the young sometimes
have difficulty in understanding
each other’s language. Geraldine,
playing with her little companions
on the sidewalk, succeeded in fool

Pleased with the infant crime, she
dashed in to tell her grandmother,
“Margaret got stung, gramma.”
“What stung her, dear—a bee?”
asked gramma mildly. Geraldine
stared at her in blank surprise.
“What’s a bee?*’ she Asked, deeply
■perplexed. “Well, whit do yon
mean by ‘stung?*” inquired gram
me in equal dismay, and at last ac
counts neither had been able to
make the other comprehend what
was meant.—New York Press.

“That’s too bad,” Binks said.
“How did he come to do that ?”
