LOVING TRIBUTE
TO MEMORY OF 2
MOURNEDWOMEN
The following resolutions of respect
to the memory of Mrs. S. H. Hawkins
and Mrs; Caroline Pope Sams, two'
pioneer women of the community who
died recently onlp a few days apart
after a life of philanthropic and
church work here together, were pre
sented and adopted at the memorial
meeting of the Woman's Missionary
Society at the First Baptist church
last week:
MRS. S. H. HAWKINS.
"We stop, and with bated breath
look into the heavens for we can not
realize that Dear Mrs. S. H. Hawkins
has gone from us, not from us for do
we not feel her very walking among
us as of old; we do not see her with
the natural eye, but heaven has come
down to us in a very marvelous way.
She was ever gentle, sympathetic, lov
ing and kind). A hand of welcome,
she ever extended strangers.
“She was so filled with the spirit
of her Lord. God’s word was her
guide, she was much given to prayer,
loved her church, and all people. She
brought good cheer and inspiration
wherever she went, the Giory of the
Lord seemed to be around about her.
A word she spoke in the Master”s
name to Jew and Greek and African
alike.
“We feel that her faith hath over
come and she walks with God.
“Resolved, First, That in the going
of this Sister the Womans Missionary
Society has lost a faithful member,
the church a loyal supporter and the
Sunday School a tender teacher of the
little ones.
“Resolved, Second, While we feel
keenly the loss, yet we phaise His
name for her sweet life, for her faith
in the blood of the Lamb which gave
her victory and we pray her mantle
may never fall on one so dear to her;
that she too may grow like her, that
we each may be lifted up and sing
with her “In the Cross of Christ, I
Glory.”
“Give her the fruit of her hands
and let her own work praise her in
the gates.”
MRS CAROLINE POPE SAMS.
“Our Dear Father has called home
to Himself Mrs. Caroline Pope Sams.
"She gave through years of suffering
a triumphant testimony of Christ”s
redeeming and sustaining grace.
“Her meekness, patience and cheer
fulness; her love for God’s word and
prayer, remain a sweet benediction to
her friends.
“She took keen interest in all the
work of her church and denomination.
She was well grounded in the faith
and studied to know the things of
Cod.
“She was a tr end, tine and lived
most, tile childrei of the Lord Sue
was full of th“ spirit and bn light
sunshine and good-sheer, even while
shut-in and suffering, when a tender
word of sympathy was spoken to her
in her hours of pain, the face would
brighten as she happily replied ‘He
suffered more than this for me.’
Sweetly she glorified the Dear Father
in her suffering.
“While we, the Womans Missionary
Society of the First Baptist church,
with hushed voices and soft steps,
pause here, we would rather praise
His Name for such a life, and thank
Him for the memory of one so like
unto our Master.
“Resolved, That we think often of
her and that we dedicate a page in
, our minute book to her memory.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso
lutions be published in the Times-Re
corder and a copy be furnished the
family.”
Primitive Station.
There is in England a railway sta
tion which has only one train each
way a week —at Blackwell Mill, situ
ated midway between Miller’s Dale
and Buxton. Blackwell Mill consists
of eight workmen’s cottages on the
banks of the Wye. They are occupied
by railway workmen, and it is for the
convenience of the wives who wish to
Journey to Buxton for marketing that
on Friday mornings the 9.10 train
from Miller’s Dale stops at Blackwell
Mill. The two uncovered platforms of
the “station” are of the length of a
railway coach, and composed of rough
stone and gravel*. The "waiting room”
Is a platelayer’s hut, whore the trav
elers are glad to shelter from the keen
wind on winter mornings. The train
carries the stationmaster, who distrib
utes the privilege tickets.
Loops the Loop in a Storm at Sea.
Looping the loop in a kite balloon

some time since by a young balloon
ist when the government was testing
the use of captive balloons on battle
ships doing convoy work, according to
a story in Mechanics Maga
zine. The baitlk 1W in question had
been aloft in lusbasket several hours
despite very rough weather when a 40-

the gas bag made a spinning nose

Arkwright, Giddings.
The following from the Atlanta
Journal will be read with interest in
Americus, where the bride has many
friends:
One of the most brilliant happen
ings of social life was the marriage
Saturday evening of Miss Dorothy
Colquitt Arkwright to Dr. Charles
Glenville Giddings, which took place
at 8:30 o’clock it “Pinebloom,” the
home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Preston Arkwright, in Druid
Hills.
The ceremony, which was perform
ed by Dr. James E. Dickey, pastor of
the First Methodist church, took place
in the long living room of the palatial
home, the altar being formed at one
side. Hundreds of Easter lilies were
massed against a background of state
ly palms, ferns and bay trees, while
at both ends stood tall white wicker
pedestal vases of Easter lilies and
white lilacs.
The bridal party passed througlran
aisle of pedestal baskets leading from
the wide staircase, which was decor
ated with six wall baskets of Easter
lilies, pink and yellow roses, lilacs,
lavender and pink sweetpeas and snap
dragons.
Little Miss Virginia Lipscomb Hurt
and Walter Colquitt, ribbon-bearers,
preceded the bridesmaids, who des
cended in couples of two, first Misses
Marjorie Brown and Margaret Mc-
Carty, Blanche Divine and Helen Mc-
Carty, Elois Robinson and Louise
Walker, Patty McGehee and Julia Mur
phy. Then came Miss Lewis Gordon
Brown, of Berlin, N. H., first brides
maid, preceding the bridesmaid, Miss

Baltimore, Md.; Dr. Edwin Broyles,
James Alexander, Major Allen Thorn
well, Preston Arkwright, Jr., Captain
Jack Gorman, Dr. William E. Camp
bell, Jr., Ensign Sanders Hickey and
Dr. Robert Crichton. The groom en
tered with his best man, Lieutenant
Colonel Harry Toulman, of Dayton.
The bride, who was given in mar
riage by her father, Preston Ark
wright, was lovely in a bridal robe of
handsome white satin, fashioned in
draped effect and elaborately em
broidered in pearls.
A large reception followed the cere
mony, the entire lower floor and the
spacious porches being elaborately
decorated with Southern smilax, fol
iage plants and garden flowers gather
ed at “Pinebloom.”
The library was beautiful with large
tree peonies and silver baskets’ of
these same flowers, while in the sun
parlor where punch was served by
eighteen members of Mrs. Giddings’
Sunday school class, were hundreds
of lavender and white lilacs.
The music of an orchestra was a
feature of the reception at which sev
eral hundred guests were entertained.

Grand Opera.
Americus will not be as largely rep- 1
resented at Grand Opera in Atlanta
this year as usual, many music lovers
having decided to attend the festival
in Macon, which takes place in May,'
instead. The Music Study club here '
is composed of some of Americus’ ,
best musical talent and its members
have heretofore formed classes for
the study of the various operas, which
they expected to attend. Macon, .
however, is much more accessible than 1
Atlanta and the weather conditions
are so much more favorable in May it |
is probable that Americus people gen- j
erally will wait for the festival.
Among those who mal attend the opera I
this week are Mr. and Mrs. J. Ralston '
Cargill, Miss Dorothy Cargill, Mr. and !

GLORIOUSLY
Wonderful How Calotabs, The Perfect
ed Nausealess aClomel, Makes You
Feel So Good the Next Morning.
Doctors say that the old-style calo
mel was the best medicine in the
World and the only thing that would
straighten out a disordered liver, but
it had some serious drawbacks. The
salivating and the sickening after-ef
fects made many people dread to take
it. The new calomel called' Calotabs,
hate all the liver benefits left in and
the sting taken out. Now you can take
calomel without the slightest objec
tion. One Calotab on the tongue at
bedtime with a swallow of water;
that’s all. No taste, no danger, no
griping, no nausea, no salts. Next
morning your liver is clean, your sys
tem purified and you are feeling like
a two-year-old—with a hearty appe
tite for breakfast. Eatt what you
please—no danger.
Calotabs are so delightful that your
druggist will refund the price if you
are not delighted with them. Sold
only in original sealed packages, price
thirty-five cents. All druggists now
have Calotabs. adv

I i
Big Campaign opened in earnest Mon.
day morning. All candidates who are
making a showing realize that these
, last four days are the last chance to i

day of this week no extra votes willl
,be issued on new subscribers, and i
only the regular schedule for the last I
' period will prevail.
During these four days, a new two- '
year subscription to the daily edition i
I will obtain 170,000 votes. A new two- .
year weekly subscription will secure :
109,000 votes. A new one-year daily,
i 70,000 votes; one-year weekly 52,500;
| six-motnhs daily new, 37,500 votes,
and a three-months daily, new, 15,000.
| This offer of 50,000 to the year for
new subscriptions is also good onl
those new ones already turned in, and I
all candidates are asked to go through
their votes, pick out the new ones and
bring them in to the office not later
than Thursday night to have them
checked over, when 50,000 extra votes
to the year will be issued on them. The

Remember, every new subscriber
for the next four days counts heavily,

SPELLING BOARD
RENEWS WAR ON
PRESENT ENGLISH
NEW YORK, April 12.—The Simpli
fied Spelling board has taken advant
age of the cessation of war against
Germany, and has renewed its attacks
on the irregularities and inconsisten
cies of English spelling, many “hor
rible examples” of which are cited in
Part 1 of its new “Handbook of Sim
plified Spelling” (to be completed in
3 parts) that it publishes today.
“English Spelling, and the ,
Movement to Improve it,” gives in 32 !
pages a concise account of the long
continued struggle to reform our spell
ing, from the first recorded attempt,
made by John Hart in 1554, to the or
ganized effort of the present day.
The pamphlet also states the princi
ples that the Simplified Spelling board
has followed in its endeavor to hasten
the progress of the reform, relates
what it has already accomplished, and !
declares its intention to continue its !
campaign as a patriotic service, in j
the belief that a simpler spelling of ,
English will be a potent aid not only !
in the more speedy Americanization of
our foreign population, but in render
ing the English language more avail
able as a means of international com
munication. To promote these ob
jects its new publications are at the
service of all who write for them. The
board’s office is at 1 Madison avenue,
New York.
The board has recently revised and
reclassified its rules for simplified
spelling, and has made a selection of
those that it particularly recommends
for present use. These it has now
published in an 8-page folder, “Rea
sons and Rules for Smiplfied Spell
ing” sent out with the first part of
the handbook.
New rules include those for chang
ing the spelling of conceit, conceive,
deceive, receipt, receive, etc., to con
ceit, conceiv, deciev, reciet, reciev,
etc.; of believe, freeze, grieve, leave,
etc., to believ, freez, griev, leav, etc.;
of advise, surprise, wise, etc., to ad
vize, rize, surprize, wize, etc.; and
of changing “y”, wherever it falls be
tween consinants, to ” ‘i’,as in analisis,
paralisis, paralise, tipe, etc.
“Thirty Words in Simplified Spell
ing,” chosen from the examples of
the rules in the folder, with special
reference to use in correspondence,
have been printed in a separate leaf-
It (also issued today() as a conven
| ience to busy people. The “30 Words”
are: ad, addrest, anser(d), ar, askt,
bil(dl), buro, catalog, det, engin, enuf,
fil(d), fixt, giv, hav, insted, liv(d), pro
gram, reciet, reciev(d), shal, shipt,
tel, telefone, (al)tho, thoro(ly
fare, etc.), thru (out), twelv, wil, yu.

liter the “Flu”
“Feveror Cold
Clean the Acidity and Toxic Poisons
Out of the Digestive Tract
Millions are now suffering from the
after effects of the deadly ”tlu,'’ a
fever or a cold. Their appetites are
poor; they are weak, and they are
x.”.’ in? for their strength to come back.
if tnese people could' only realize
that the return to health and strength
would be greatly helped by giving at
tention to the stomach —that is, remov
ing the acidity and toxic poisons from
tha entire digestive tract, making it
act naturally, so that the body will
receive the fall strength of the food
eaten —a great deal of suffering would
be saved to humanity.
Everyone knows that the disease it
self, and the strong medicines' that
have been taken, upset the stomach,
leave it hot and feverish, the mouth
dry, the tongue coated, a nasty taste,
and no desire to eat. This is a poor
foundation to build new strength on.
Now, tens of thousands of people all
over this country are using EATONIC
for the purpose of cleaning these
poisonous after-effects right out of the
system and they are obtaining wonder
ful results—so wonderful that the
amazingly quick benefits are hardly
believable, just as shown in the re
markable letter which is published
upon the request of this sturdy old Civil
War veteran. He is 77 years old. Read
what he says EATONIC did for him:

P. 8.: If you can make any .ise
of this letter for suffering human’ty,
you are at liberty to do so. C.S.M.
This is only one case out of thousands.
You should make the EATONIC test
in your own case at once. You have
everything to gain—not a penny can
you lose, for we take all the risk. Your
own common sense, your own feeiings,
tell you that a good appetite, good di
gestion, a good stomach, with the fever
poisons and effects of strong medicines
out of your system, will put you on the
road to strong, robust health again.
Y T ou want to enjoy life again after
you have battled with the “flu”, fever
or colds, or any other illness that has
taken your strength. You want to get
back your old-time vigor, be full of pep
and enthusiasm —be able to work with
ease, instead of listlessly, half-heart
edly dragging out a mere existence.
So be sure to take a box of EATONIC
home with you today. We cannot urge
this too strongly. If EATONIC fails
to give you positive beneficial results,
it will not cost you a penny. There is no
risk—the benefit is surely all for yon.
