Lifsey has been con firmed hh postmaster, of Barnes ville, and will be in charge of the office in a short time. His com mission will have to be made out and he will have to make bond. These matters will doubtless lie at tended to in a few days. Mr. Jos. Old, the Washington correspondent of the Atlunta Con stitution, sent the following to his paper Thursday: “The senate unanimously con firmed B. A. Lifsey to he post master at Barnesville. This ends the interesting contest over that office, in which Mr. Lifsey and Mr. Harris, the present postmas ter, have been the most prominent figures. There were charges against both of the leading applicants for the office, and in view of this situ ation Judge Bartlett made an ef fort to secure the appointment of W. M. Howard, a leading demo crat. An investigation by the 1 postmaster general of the charges made by Harris against Lifsey sat isfied that official that there was absolutely nothing in them and ! Lifsey was appointed. Afterwards I there was talk of an effort to pre vent his confirmation by the Sen ate, but as there was no good grounds for opposition his muni tion was confirmed today.” HAVING A UIJN ON CHAMBER LAIN’S COUGH REMEDY.

BARNESVILLE NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, MARCH 13,1902 SEMI-CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY. CORDON INSTITUTE ALUMNI ASSO CIATION PREPARINC FOR BIC OCCASION. A number of the local alumna* of Gordon Institute met in one of the Institute rooms lust Friday afternoon, to discuss and adopt plans for the re-union, to be held in June. At this meeting it was decided to make the semi-centennial anniver sary of the founding of Gordon Institute a distinctive feature of this year's program. The literary exercises, to beheld in t he Auditorium on the evening of June the 10th, will include ad dresses by some of the distinguish ed sons and daughters of this famous school. That these will reflect honor upon their loved i alma mater, it is needless to say. After the conclusion of the exer j cises, the local and visiting alum jni will repair to the large dining \ hall of one of the hotels, where an ! elegant banquet will be in waiting for them. An elaborate menu will be serv ed, hut the most charming feature of this part of the evening’s pro gram, will be the toasts by the members of the faculty and of the association. The local members of the Alumni Association have entered enthusi astically into the preparation for the coming re-union and celebra tion, and are particularly anxious that all the non-resident alumni be present on this occasion. This promises to be by far the ! most important and enjoyable ' meeting yet held by the members ! of the Alumni Association. A complete program will he published as soon as can be announced. Mrs. Janies A. Hickson. ‘‘Tolivo in hearts we leave behind is not to die.” On the morning of Feb. 20, the golden sunlight of happiness was dimmed for all time in a pleasant hospitable country home in Hous ton county when the gentle spirit of Mrs Nettie Hickson took its flight to a better land. For thir ty-two years she luul been the pre siding genius of that hearthstone and the center of influences goodness, usefulness and helpful ness that radiated as far and wide as her large circle of acquaintanc es extended. She was born in Upson county Nov 12, 1812, removed to Barnes ville in early childhood and spent the first twenty-seven years of her life in and near this place. On Feb. 22, 1869, she was married to Mr. James A. Hickson, of Houston county, and it was from the home which he carried her as a bride that her body was borne to its last resting place in the beautiful Evergreen cemetery at Perry just one day before the anniversary of her marriage. She was a woman of strong character, broad intelligence, gen tle manners, and the kindest, ten derest heart. A life-long Metho dist, she lived her religion in as much as, Christ-like, “she went about doing good.” The only test by which a noble life can be tried is the work ac complished by it in this world, and by that we estimate its worth. The numbers of people of all ages and both sexes who went through the storm and cold of those bleak Febuary days to look upon the calm, still face and to tell in brok en voices how she had nursed them in sickness, cheered them in affliction and helped them in need, could give no higher testimony of the beauty and fullness of her life. She was called the “Mother of the Community,” and in many households her loss is felt scarcely less keenly than by her only child —herself a life long sufferer, — who hows in patient submission to this crushing blow. It has been said that the pen which dures to trace the life of a man or woman should lie shaped from a feather that has fallen from an angel’s wing. This fal tering pen but craves the privi lege of a faint tribute to the love and tenderness which enriched our childhood and has been our stay and comfort amid the sorrows and suffering of maturer years. When the travellers in the caravans that stretch in long lines across the great desert of Africa, worn and exhausted beneath the burning sun are almost ready to stop and and let their bodies mark the pathway for others to follow, there come down the line a joyful cry from someone far ahead who catches a glimpse of an oasis in the distance; hope is renewed and feeble footsteps press forward to safety. So when this precious sister as she neared the “Sweet Fields of and saw before the waving green of the Tree of Life called back, “I am so glad! I am 60 glad!” her words come to us who are weary* with the journey* as a blessed inspiration to press on to that Happy Land where we shall see her again. Augusta R. Lambdi.y. DOOLY COUNTY TEACHERS. They Decide to Hold Institute This Year at Barnesville. Voted Down a Motion to Meet at Arabi—Also a notion to Meet at Albany in April—Will Meet at Barnesville in July. The teachers of Dooly county at their meeting in Vienna last Saturday voted to hold their Ins titute work at Barnesville this year. They will meet there in July at the time that city holds its Chautauqua and Institute. The law forces the teachers to attend some Institution for one week in each y r ear and the teach ers usually* decide by a majority vote where they will attend. Some of the teachers at Vienna Saturday favored holding a pri jvate county Institute at Arabi | this year, but that proposition was i voted down ; others favored going Ito Albany in April, as they did last year, but the contention that the schools of the county were somewhat demoralized when sus pended for this purpose, prevail ed, and the proposition to meet at Albany was defeated. The motion to meet at Barnes ville was finally carried, and the teachers of Dooly county will, not only hold their Institute in that city in July, but, at the same time, will have the pleasure of at tending the usual good Chautau qua exercises held there each year.—Cordele Sentinel.
