Happiness and Wealth.
Those who knew him regarded
John W.Muckayas the most ami
able, nlfahle and common-sensed
of our multi-millionaires. Ho
was very companionable and kind
hearted, and an even-tempered,
broad-minded man.
Mr. Mackayouce described him
self in part when‘he wrote, in
answer to the question put by a
newspaper, “Does wealth bring
happiness?”
“1 am surprised that any one
should think for a moment that
happiness depends upon wealth.
I was very happy during my early
struggles with poverty. 1 enjoyed
the toil, privation and hardship I
endured to win health. When n
laborer in a New York shipyard
when swinging a pick and shovel
as a miner, 1 was as happy as I
can ever be.
“1 had faith in and hope for
the future, and when I began to
realize that hope by working
hard, saving mv money and
watching my opportunities, what j
a happiness I experienced—such
a happiness us the possession of
my subsequent fortune has failed
to give me. 1 must therefore
answer your (jttestion by saying
that 1 do net think wealth brings
happiness.
‘John \V. Mack ay.”
Mr. Mackav spoke from expe
rience. He was a bard worker
and always kept cheerful, and
looked on the bright side of
things. It was his experience
that wealth does not bring happi
ness.
NOT OTHER-WISE.
There is an old allegorical picture of
a girl seared at a grass-hopper, but in

snake. This is paralleled by tlie man
who spends a large sum of money
building a cyclone cellar, but neglects
to provide his family with a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic. Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy as a safeguard
against bowels complaints, whose vic
tims outnumber those of the cyclone a
hundred to one. This remedy is every
where recognised as the most prompt
and reliable medicine in use for those

Pike County Sunday
School Association
The annual meeting of the Pike
County Sunday School Association
was held at Bluff Springs camp
ground Aug. oth. Quite a crowd
was present and the day was passed
very pleasantly and we trust pro
fitably for all.
Prof. J. W. Parker the chorister
assisted by quite a large number of
singers from the different schools
in the county furnished the music
for the occasion. About ten o'clock
the meeting was called to order by
Pres. Tyler and a scripture lesson
from 22nd chapter Romans read
by Rev. Jones Bush, after which
prayer was offered by Rev. J. W.
Beck.
The congregation then sang of
the “Wonderful Love” of the
Savior.
The roll of Sunday School were
called and reports heard from fif
teen schools some of which report
ed quite a number of conversions
growing out of the Sunday School
in the past year. There were about
10 good live schools that we know
of that were not reported for some
cause. Protracted services being
held at Williamson, Concord and
Milner, those schools were not re
ported. There are 10 or 15 com
munities in the county that had
schools in the spring but have
died out or gone off for the summer.
Ought we not have some mission
ary’s in the field? Are tjie labor
ers few?
Pres. Tyler made a short address
which was full of thought and good
suggestions to Superintendents
and teachers after which the asso
ciation adjourned until 1:80
p. m.
• AFTERNOON SESSION.
After dinner which was spread
under the trees and in the tents
and which was amply sufficient to
feed as many more people, we as
sembled under the the stand
promptly at 1:80. Responses from
the different schools were called
for.
Three little girls, Lutie Wood,
Annie Lou Canafax and Sadie
Wood recited from the Weaver
school.
Miss Pearl Story and and Master
Bernice Starr responded from the
Fincher school.
Miss Lizzie Neal Rogers and
Columbus Laviuder from Ebenezer
school.
Ex-presidents, Rev. W. P.
Hemphill and J. T. Hunt, both
made speeches, which were listen
ed to with much interest. Rev. W.
R. White also made some good
suggestions.
The nominating committee pre
sented the following names for
election to offices for the ensuing
year.

amount received was $8.40. The
Association was dismissed with
prayer and benediction by the
Chaplain, Rev. W. H. Graham, to
meet again Ist Wednesday in

IT NEEDS A TOXIC.
There are times when your liver
needs a tonic. Don’t give purgatives
that gripe and weaken. DeWitt’s
Little Early Risers expel all poison
from the system and act as tonic to the
liver. W. Scott, 431 Highland ave..
Milton, Fa., says: “I have carried
DeWitt’s Little Early Risers with me
for several years and would not be
without them.” Small a ,- d easy to
take. Purely vegetable. They never
gripe or distress.

In Memory of
Mrs. J. H. Stewart.
Minnie Lee Pickard was born
! Sept., 27th, 1863, and died at her
home in Yatesville, Ga., July 19th
; 1902, age 38 years, 9 months and
22 days.
Asa school girl, on account of
| her sweet disposition, her cheerful
i spirit, and her unselfish nature,
she was a general favorite, much
loved by both pupils and teacher.
On Dec. 28th 1881, she was
! most happily married to Jonathan
H. Stewart.
This union was blessed with 7
most promising children, six of
I whom survive her.
In the home her life was an
| ideal one. Her every thought
was for the comfort and welfare
of her husband and children. To
them, the home coming was al
ways pleasant,' for they knew she
was there with pleasant smile and
cheerful word to greet them.
On August loth 1886, she was
converted and joined the Primi
tive Baptist church. Since then
her daily walk has been such that
it has left no doubts in the minds
of her friends concerning the
genuineness of her conversion.
She has lived true to the faith of
her church arad to the teachings
of her Savior.
Her cheerful spirit and her
godly life has been a benediction
to her people. J. D. S.
DYSENTERY CURED WITHOUT
THE AID OF A DOCTOR.
“I am just up from a hard spell of
the flux” (dysentery) says Mr. T. A.
Pinner, a well known merchant of
Drummond, Tenn. “I used one small
bottle of Chamberlains Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy and was cured
without having a doctor. I consider it
the best cholera medicine in the world. ”
There is no need of employing a doctor
when this remedy is used, for no doctor
can prescribe a better medicine for
bowel complaint in any form either for
children or adults. It never fails and
is pleasant to take. For sale by

Canada —It is a brick laying

will lay 400 to 000 brick per hour,
and do the work better than it is
usually done by the hand since
each .brick laid is' put in place
under heavy pressure. The ma
chine is suited to all plain work,

it will do the work of seven or

GREAT FENCE SETTING.
A Mile a Day of Woven
Nothing Unusual.
A mile of good fencing put up
by three men in a day seems like
a forerunner of the farmer’s mil
lennium. yet this is being done
right here in our own state every
day with the Ellwood Steel Wire
Fence. Of course this refers to
putting up the fence after the
posts are set. and it is an illustra
tion of the convenience of the
ready woven wire fences which
have gained such popularity in
the last two or three years.
After the posts are set the roll
of fencing, containing 10 or 20
rods, is unrolled and the fence lies
flat on the ground with its bottom
against the posts. One end of the
roll is stapled to the end, or start
ing past, the Woven Fence Stretch
er is applied at the other end of
the roll and by working the
stretcher the entire length of fenc
ing is quickly, easily and properly
