IN MEMORIAM.
o • t
\)n Friday evening, August iitli,
*B9B, the noble spirit of Dr. Will
•Cor.naliy took its upward flight with
-the departing day
Young, gifted, true and generous
he had made many friends, and it was
with a poignant grief that they heard
;he sad intelligence of his death.
He was the youngest son of Mrs.
f>r. Connally and was born Dec. 13,
1872. He spent his childhood days
in Decatur, Ga., until his parents
•moved to Orlando, Fla., anil it was
here that he experienced a change of
heart and connected himself with the
Methodist church in 1889. After his
fattier moved to Barnesville in
1892, he began the study of his
h’fe profession which was that of den
iislry, with all the earnestness of a
close student who had determined to
succeed.
In the fall of 1893 he left home to
attend a course of instruction in the
Baltimore University, and while there
he won the esteem of both the faculty
and students by his quiet, gentleman
’y demeanor and upright deportment.
In 1895 he graduated with the high
est honors, and soon afterward estab
lished a fine practise in. Florida.
When an aged person ripe in years
and full of good works is gathered
nr.to his fathers, we feel that he is
only called up higher to join the loved
of earlier years and to find that rest
for which he longed in life. With
our grief there comes a sweet whisper
-it is well,” but when a young person
with brilliant prospects ahead, in
whose blood is bounding the joyous
anticipations of a happy future, noble
plans of usetulness, and golden dreams
4of a love-lighted home of his own, is
stricken down by the relentless hand
of death, we cannot help wondering
why it should he thus ?
Why should the gentle mother who
Viad already been thrice bereaved in
one year be called on to give 11 p an
other treasure from her fireside ? Ah,
iwe cannot see with our earthly eyes
the laving outstretched arm of our
iicind Heavenly Father but we know
it is above us day and night, and
that not a sparrow falleth to the
ground without his knowledge. Some
golden gleam of mercy is illuminating
fvery shadow if we coirld only see it,
and some sweet day these things
which cannot now be understood will
be fully explained.
Dr. Will Connally through affliction
was drawn nearer to the cross, and
his soul was full of peace, love for
<Jod and for all mankind. In the
absence of his pastor, Dr. Brittain
kindly officiated at the funeral ser
vices, and told the bereaved ones of
the great joy that would be theirs
when they assemble never more to be
separated around the throne of the
Great Eternal.
Out of a loving family only three
are left, one son and two daughters,
to cheer the lonely widowed mother,
lint that God who has promised to
heal the broken-hearted will be to her
a comfort, a shield, a refuge and a
rest. 1- K. R.

Confederate Veterans Meet.
Pike county Confederate veterans
met in their annual reunion at Bluft
Springs recently, Commander John
T. Hunt, of Barnesville, presiding.
Quite a number -of the veterans
had attended the reunion held in At
lanta, and were therefore quite full of
that spirit of enthusiasm which char
acterizes the old soldiers.
The day was spent very pleasantly
in informal talks and expeience meet
ings.
The following resolutions were
passed by a unanimous rising vote:
Whereas, God in His all wise prov
idence has seen fit to remove from
our midst our brethren, H. McLen
don, T. L. McLendon, W. W. Ward,
J. D. Gregg, W. E. McElveen, J. L.
Banks, G. W. Worthen, Berry Linch,
J. J. Mays, T. R. Reviere, R. J.
Connell, S. G. Beckham and Heze
kiah Williams.
Resolved Ist. That the Pike
county Confederate veterans do de
plore the loss of these beloved breth
ren, and while our loss is their eternal
gain, yet we will miss their presence.
Resolved 2d. That we tender to
their families their sincere sympathy.
Resolved 3rd. That -a copy of
these resolutions be sent each of the
county papers for publication.
SONS OF VETERANS.
After the adjournment of the Con
federate veterans, the young men
present organized a camp of Sons of
Confederate Veterans.
Much interest was manifested in
| the organization, and, while the in
clemency of the weather prevented a
large attendance, ’about fifty names
were enrolled. After the enrollment
the meeting proceeded to elect offi
cers. John B. Madden, of Concord,
was elected commander; T. T. Wor
then, of Piedmont, secretary.
The foilowing were appointed a
' committee on arrangements: C. T.
| Smith, S. H. Hall and J. T* Baker.
Also a committee consisting of one
from each militia district in the coun
ty was appointed to solicit and enroll
names. It is hoped that all the sons
of veterans in the county will join
and take an active interest in the or
ganization.
Annual reunions will be held, at
which many attractive and interesting
features will be presented.
THE BRIDAL.
TO MABEL’S MOTHER.
A maiden fair sat braidiDg her hair,
And dreaming of a happy day,
When Love's young dream throws a gol
den beam,
Through years as happy as May.
From her own dear home her thoughts
would roam
To one that surely will be;
And there as a bride, by her loved one's
side,
Wait joy beyond degree.
La, the Bridegroom calls! a shadow falls I
He is very unwelcome there,
For a mother’s love, born above,
Is feeling her heart strings tear.
“Oh, give her to me and I will be
More than a husband kind,
I’ll guard her so well, the angels foretell
Your jewel will never tine.
With courage bold I’ll shield her soul
From the 'ace to be run iD strife;
Ere it should faint or sin could taint
With the cankering cares of life.”
“I'll take her away on her bridal day
To a haven of perfect rest,
You may meet her there in this home so
fair.
With all whom the Savior has blest.”
“Oh, lover true, you nobly sue
For all that my life holds dear;
But God forbid, with mercy unbid,
That a rival should fill me with fear.’ ’
The Bridegroom halts, to make the hear t
a vault,
The angels in heaven would shun;
He lingers near, filling hope with fear,
’Til the thread is nearly spun;
He touches her Ups, his breath she sips,
Then both are as cold as stone;
’Til their voices ring with the saints who
sing
Around the Great White Throne.
ou loved her well and she lived to tell
How you shielded the years from
harm;
But the greatest grief without relief
Is a mother’s empty arms.
Pain will prove, but God will soothe—
Of joy your life is bereft,
When your grief grows wild for your
only child,
Thy name, Oh, Bridegroom—“ Death.”
Rcthiuan.
