IN MEMORY OF
MR. W. W. WILSON
On the eighteenth of January his
spirit took its flight.
Uncle Bill, as we all called him,
was a kind hearted man. He never
let a chance slip by when he could
lend a helping hand but he was al
ways ready to help his fellow man
in any way he could.
He attended strictly to his busi
ness. was kind and generous with his
neighbors.
He was a man who never visited,
but stayed at home except when bus
iness called him away.
He is gone but not forgotten. He
will be sorely missed in his com
munity for if in need of a friend
you could always find him ready and
willing to help.
It is sad to know we have to give
up such of life’s treasures, but dear
children and wife it comes to all
homes some sad day.
Mr. Wilson was a good provider
and a devoted father in his way.
They moved here about eighteen
years ago from Crawford county.
He leaves his wife, three daughters
and six sons to mourn his going
away. A FRIEND.

On next Sunday morning the Pas
tor will preach from the subject,
“Getting In Bad and Pulling Out.
This subject has a message for every
one. It is a warning to those who
are not yet in bad. It is a remedy
for the one who is already in bad.
And it is the Gospel to all. At this
sendee another “Seeing the Truth”
lesson will be given to the children.
“What God Does With Our Sins”
will be the lesson this time. You
can see with your eyes. Don’t miss
this message, children. Did you see
the one last Sunday morning? Sorry
you were not there.
Sunday night the subject will be
“Breaking Habits.” This message
will also be illustrated —a lock and
chain will be used. This is a most
practical lesson. Do not fail to see
and hear this most helpful message.
We had a splendid day at our
church last Sunday. There were 212
in Sunday school. Of course there
should have been more, but we were
delighted to have this number pres
ent. And there were good crowds
at both preaching services. And the
baptismal service at night was beau
tiful. You miss something when you
fail to attend our services. And we
miss you. Come and help us to make
this the greatest year in the history
of our church.
Our hearts were made exceedingly
sad at the going of Cecil Smith. He
had been a most faithful member of
our church, of the Sunday school and
B. Y. P. U. We greatly sympathize
with his parents in their loss and we
shall greatly miss him.
Also on last Sunday afternoon Jlrs.
R. H. J. Garland, who is also a mem
ber of our church, died at the home
of her son, Dr. H. J. Garland, of
Griffin. She was brought here and
the funeral held from our church on
Tuesday morning, after which she
was buried at the old family ceme
tery. She was a much beloved wo
man who had been a faithful mem
ber of our church. We extend our
sympathy to the entire family.
Our sympathy also goes out to the
family of Mrs. J, M. Jordan, who
was buried only last week. She was
a good woman and greatly loved.
May God comfort her loved ones.
One of the things that we need to
take account of as we live our lives
here is that of our personal influence.
“For none of us liveth to himself,
and none dieth to himself.” Rom.
14:7. Someone has spoken of the
immortality of influence. And we
must accept this as true. What one
is and what one does goes on far be
yond the reach of the individual.
To the evil inclined then this fact
should be a warning. For his evil
character and his evil deeds shall go
on beyond his power to control them.
And he may prove to be a curse to
someone else—yea to an increasing
multitude. Watch your steps, there
fore, lest you should be held account
able for someone else’s downfall.
But those who do good there is
first a lesson of gratitude. Some
one before us has influenced our lives
in this way and we should be grate
ful to them that they so lived as to
.bring a blessing to us. Then there
is a lesson of responsibility. We
should be afraid to do wrong because
we cannot do wrong and harm only
ourselves. Others must suffer with
us. And the wrong thoughts and
deeds soon pass out of our control
and may do evil that we never in
tended should be done. And on the
other hand since our influence goes
on forever there is a wonderful op
portunity to do good. And there are
so many who need to be influenced
for good. We want to make our in
fluence count for as much as possi
ble. And there is also a lesson of
hope. Maybe we are not able to do
all the good we would like in
our limited life here. But looking
out into the future with the assur
ance that our influence is immortal,
we can imagine some influenced by
us for good who has a wonderful ca
pacity for achievement. And so our
good influence is greatly multiplied
by him.
How are you going to use your in
fluence? What about your influence
next Sunday? Is it at Sunday school
and church—and B. Y. P. U? Is it
for Christ? Or is it against him?
What about it every day? Do you
set an example for good? Do you
teach someone to curse? Do you
tell smutty jokes? Do you lead
someone to gossip? Do you talk evil
of other folks? Do you lead any
one to drink? Do you lead anyone
into immorality? Are you honest
and genuine? Are you false or true?
Be careful—your influence goes on
far beyond your control and you may
see your thoughts, your character,
your deeds reproduced in somone
else. And remember you must give
an account.
CADET CECIL SMITH
DIES UNEXPECTEDLY
Cadet Cecil Smith, 17 year old son
of Mr. and Mrs. Ivey Smith, their
only child, died early Saturday morn
ing at the home of his parents, at
the Mclntosh place, next to the post
office, the death of the bright and
popular young man causing universal
sorrow throughout the community.
His death was wholly unexpected to
his loved ones and friends, a3 he was
at school Friday and in his usual
happy state of mind. He attended
the game of basket ball Friday night
in Gordon grammar school building,
and while there complained of hav
ing a headache, but little was thought
of it by his companions and-he stayed .
through the game. Afterward he
was accompanied home by some boy
companions and complained to his
parents of the pain in his forehead,
but he did not appear to be suffering
much and not at all dangerously ill.
However, his condition soon became
much worse when physicians were
hurriedly called, Dr. J. M. Anderson
being the first to reach him, Dr. C.
H. Willis and Dr. J. A. Corry later
seeing him. From the first little en
couragement was held out for him, as
one side was soon found to be
paralyzed. For several hours he
rested fairly well but about 4 o’clock
Saturday morning he passed away,
hemorrhage of the brain probably be
ing the cause of his death.
The whole community was shocked
at the announcement and the deepest
sorrow and sympathy were expressed
by everybody because of his untimely
going. Cecile was a member of the
junior class of Gordon Institute, a
member of Gordon battalion, a mem
ber of the Bamesville Blues and
among all ages and classes he was
highly regarded, being courteous and
kind and a boy who easily made
friends with everybody. He will be
missed as much in the Baptist Sun
day school and the B. Y. P. U. as al
most anywhere except in his own
home, for he had made a fine im
pression by his faithfulness and con
duct there, young and old, apprecia
ting him greatly. Everybody spoke
of him to commend him.
The funeral services were held in
Gordon auditorium Sunday afternoon,
when a large audience assembled to
pay tribute to his beautiful life.
R6v. Arthur Jackson, pastor of the
First Baptist church, assisted by Rev.
Marvin A. Franklin, pastor of the
First Methodist church, conducted
the impressive service. Rev. Arthur
Jackson, his pastor, preached a very
forceful sermon, pointing out numer
ous impressive lessons from the life
of the young man, Mrs. Augusta
Lambdin, representing the faculty
and student body, read a beautiful
tribute to his life, which we are glad
to give space to below.
There were many lovely floral of
ferings, included among them being
one from the junior class of Gordon
and one from the B. Y. P. U., of
which he was a member.
The Gordon battalion and the
Barnesville Blues acted as honorary
escort and at the Zebulon street
cemetery a salute was fired and taps
sounded and the body of the dear
young man was tenderly laid away
and with sad hearts the large con
course of people turned their faces
homeward, having done all they could
to honor one whom they respected
and loved.
The parents and other loved ones
have the tenderest sympathy of
everybody throughout this communi
ty.
IN MEMORY OF CADET PRIVATE
CECIL SMITH, COMPANY “B,”
GORDON BATTALION.
It does not seem possible that in
the short space of two months two
tragedies, so startling, so fraught
with grief and regret, could occur
within the same student group; that
two families separated only by a
street could be experiencing the same
sorrow; that the Junior class of Gor
don, which so recently stood beneath
the autumn sky around an open
grave and listened with aching
hearts to the clear, sad notes of
“Taps,” should again be called upon
to follow another comrade to his
long rest.
The unexpected has become a
reality. Again a common sorrow
knits our hearts together, makes
dearer the tie that binds us to the
old school, and draws us into a closer
communion with Our Father.
Another chair will be vacant in
the class room and we shall listen in
vain for the sound of a voice that is
still. Another name will be added
to the cherished roll of Gordon men
who fell at the post of duty.
When we write Private Cecil
Smith of Company B, we will inscribe
the name of one of the truest, the
bravest, the best.
When he first came to us, walking
each day from his home some three
miles in the country, he brought with
him the atmosphere and the influence
of Georgia’s proudest asset the
clean, capable, upstanding boy from
the farm; the boy from a home where
a good mother had instilled into him
the principles of an upright life and
a holy ambition; where a splendid
father had by an example
pointed him to a future of righteous
citizenship.
Cecil easily took his position in
the front rank of his class, and a |
deep and abiding place in the affec- j
tions of teachers and fellow students, j
Modest and retiring in disposition he
never clamored for recognition, but
his erect posture, his bright eyes, hi3 j
earnest expressions, told better than
words that every inspiring message
was awakening a responsive chord in
his heart and new ideas were de
veloping in his mind.
Two years ago he was enrolled in
the student body of the A. & M.
School and we are told that his record
there was in accordance with that al
ready made. He re-entered Gordon
in his Sophomore year. There was
never any doubt as to the time, the
place and the attitude in which he
would be found in either institution.
The removal of the family to town
gave him easier educational advan
tages but it brought no great change
in his plan of life. Duty to him
meant home and school. He loved
sports and he was an enthusiastic
supporter of all activities. His mili
tary duties were promptly performed
and rules were cheerfully obeyed.
The temptations, which at the pres
ent time spread such pitfalls before
the young life about us and which
makes it necessary for us to love
them and guard them all the more,
had no attraction for him.
Among the fine traits of character
that stand out in our memories as we
we pay tribute to him today, none is
more marked than that of his unfail
ing politeness. He never forgot to
do and say the kind thing in the most
courteous way. His manner was so
gentle, his voice so soft, that the
slight timidity of his approach gave
to his bearing a charm unusual in
one of his years. But at the same
l time there was no evidence of weak
ness in his character. He had de
cided opinions, clear cut views which
he expressed when occasions de-
manded.
His standard of conduct can he
best told in his own words. In his
last class exercise he wrote:
“If a boy goes through High school
and College using the Honor System
and doing the right thing in every
way he becomes a good citizen. If
he does not do the right thing, and
takes advantage of the opportunity
to do the wrong thing, he becomes a
very bad citizen.”
Not even the wisest man could ex
press a truer sentiment or evolve a
finer philosophy of life.
The concluding paragraph of his
English examination taken Friday
morning was an explanation of these
lines from Kipling’s poem, “The Ex
plorer” :
“God forgive me. No, I didn’t. It’s
God’s present to the nation.
Anybody might have found it, but
His whispers came to me.”
Not only a clear interpretation of
the poet’s meaning but also Cecil
Smith’s fine conception of man’s re
lation to God appears in his answer:
“The explorer did not want to be
given credit for finding the land for
God would reward him, for His whis
per was heard only by him.”
A few short hours after these
words were written God’s whisper
came to this dear boy and he slipped
away into that beautiful land beyond
the ranges where, if we are faithful,
we shall find him some glad day.
MRS. AUGUSTA LAMBDIN.
Resolutions by Junior
Class of Gordon
Again the Junior class has met
with a great affliction. Like a light
ning stroke from a clear sky death
has entered our ranks and carried
away, without a warning, one of our
beloved members. 'I he class had no
more loyal student, no finer char
acter, none with a brighter future
than Cadet Cecil Smith. We realize
deeply what he meant to the class
and the school. His name will al
ways be associated with the happy
days we have spent at Gordon, and
the memory of his comradeship will
remain with us through life.
Therefore, be it resolved,
First, That the example he set in
loyalty to duty, quiet, firm friendship
and devotion to the right shall lead
us to a higher consideration of all
that is noble and true.
Second, That we extend our deep
est sympathy to his father, mother
and other loved ones.
Third, That his name shall be kept
on the roll of 1926 as an inspiration
to us to reach the highest standard ,
of a true student of Gordon.
Fourth, That a copy of these reso
lutions be sent the family and an
other to the News-Gazette for pub
lication.

“If Your Pain Is There,
What You Need Is a Good
Tonic For the Kidneys”
The kidneys are the scavengers and
they work day and night in separat
ing and the poisons from the blood.
Their signals of distress arc easily
recognized and include such symp
toms as lumbago, backache, depres
sions, drowsiness, irritability, head
aches, dizziness, rheumatic twinges,
dropsy.
People are realizing more and more
every day that the kidneys, just as
do the bowels, need .to be flushed
occasionally. The kidneys are an
eliminative organ and arc constantly
working, separating the poisons
front the blood. Under this con
tinual and perpetual action they are
apt to congest, and then trouble
starts. Uric acid backs up into the
system, causing rheumatism, neural
gia, dropsy and many other serious
disturbances. It means that you arc
a victim of uric acid poisoning. Then
ask your druggist for Anuric (anti
uric acid) and you will very soon be
come one of hundreds who have been
helped by this powerful enemy to
uric acid.
