Moderation Needed in Politics
(One of the important injunctions
<<ff the Scriptures is that we should let
•cur moderation be known unto all
men. If this wise and heavenly com
mandment were observed and obeyed
f>y mankind in general there would be
much less strife and dissensions in the
•■world, and consequently kind feelings
and benevolent acts would gain the
ascendency over evil thoughts and
sinful works. But alas! men turn a
.deaf ear to reason and revelation, and
cultivate bad and malicious feelings
instead of seeking to return good for
evil How greatly many men seem
to be on the extreme even while en
gaged in doing that which they ought
to k r.ow is repugnant to wisdom and
justice.
Jn tracing the history of our own
country we see clearly that we are
greatly indebted to those great and
good men who were ever character
ized by a spirit of moderation. The
gfc at and good Washington was al
woys noted for his moderation; and
bid it not been for the sagacity, pru
•
dcnce and moderation of such men as
Washington. Franklin and Hamilton
the Constitution of the United States
•would, in all probability, never have
f been adopted, and the great sacrifice
of blood and treasure during the
struggle for independence might have
Jbeen in vain. Why, Patrick Henry,
the grand orator of his day, was so
• extreme in his views touching the or
ganization of a government for the
people of his country, that-if he had
•had a little more influence and power
be would beyond doubt have prevent
ed the adoption of the Constitution,
. and the American people would then
►have been at sea in regard to making
• and living under a government. For
vtunately for us codl-headed and con
servative men triun\phed over all op
position, and we are now enjoying the
fruits of the labors of those great and
wise statesmen.
< >ur government was not forty years
.old when extreme and reckless men
(threatened to overturn and destroy it:
'.out at that critical and gloomy period
when many good men despaired of
•the republic, Henry Clay, the great
..est orator and statesman in the
■world, stood up in the American
•congress with the olive branch of
peace in his hand and with his match
less eloquence succeeded in reconcil
ing conflicting parties, and thereby
prevented a dissolution of the union
of the states.
As long as the reins of the govern
ment are in the hands of wise and
conservative men we will live in peace
aud prosperity, but any man who will
seek to alienate one section of our
•country from another by reviving old
party spirit and sectional feelings,
should be consigned to a state of
-oblivion. It is of vast importance
that the youths who are growing up
in our midst should be taught to love
their country and its noble institu
tions, and to place a much higher es
timate upon them than on political
parties. Any man who i,s not larger
than a political party is entirely too
small and weak to assist in placing
-•wise and patriotic men in office. The
government can only be preserved by
a diffusion of knowledge and intelli
gence among the masses ot the people.
Our grand national edifice must ever
have for a firm loundation virtue and
•the Christian religion.

IS El’ RIGHT
KOK AN EDITOR TO RECOMMEND PAT
ENT MEDICINES?
From Sylvan Valley Nows, nrevrad, N. U.
It may be a question whether the
editor ot a newspaper has the right to
publicly recommend any of the va
rious proprietary medicines which
flood the market, yet as a preventive
of suffering we feel it our duty to say
a good word for Chamberlrin’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea RCmedy. We
have known and used this medicine
in our family for twenty years and
have always found it reliable. In
many cases a dose of this remedy
would save hours of suffering while a
physician is awaited. We do not be
lieve in depending implicitly on any
medicine for a cure, but we do believe
that if a bottle of Diar
rhoea Remedy were kept on hand and
administered at the inception of an
I attack much suffering might be avoid
ed and in many cases the presence of
a physician would not be required.
At least this has been our experience
during the past twenty years. For

Mr- James M- Horne Dead,
Last week Mr. James M. Horne
Idled at his home in Redbone district
in • Monroe county. . He was well
known in Barnesville and had warm
friends here. Speaking of his death,
the Monroe Advertiser says:
“Mr. Horne had been ill for some
time and his death was not unexpect
ed to those that knew the serious
nature of his malady. He was a man
i of ripe age and had long been a con
} sistant member of the Primative Bap
tist church.. His acquaintances were
his friends and those that knew him
best were his staunchest friends. In
the death of J. M. Horne Monroe
county has lost a good citizen. Red
bone district now contains a mound
that will be viewed with sorrow by
the many friends and neighbors of
him that sleeps beneath the sod. The
public and private record off. M.
Horne is marred by no shade. No
one will speak of him save in compli
mentary terms. His memory will be
cherished by a host of friends and
acquaintances who join us in extend
ing sympathy to those who lament his
death. He leaves a wife and five
children to mourn his loss.
“Funeral services were conducted
at the home by Elder W. VV. Childs.
“The interment took place at Ra
mah church, of which the deceased
was a member,”
A Card of Thanks.
We hereby tender our heartfelt
thanks to our many friends for the
kindness shown to us and to our hus
band and father during his last illness.
We feel their kind acts were produced
by that charity that seeketh not its
own but another’s good. It has made
a mementp of gratitude in our hearts
that we shall never forget, but will
ever hold in kind remembrance.
Mrs. J. M. Horne,
and children.

Tribute to Miss Rda Kitoliings.
Once more “our eyes have seen
the rosy light ot /outh’s soft cheek
decay,” as death’s shadow fell where
it had shined. It was in the home of
our fellow citizen and Christian broth
er, Mr. J. A. Kitchings, where on the
6th of July at nine o’clock p. in., Miss
Ada L. Kitchings, the second daugh
ter of the household, aged 18, took
leave of those who loved her, to go
with the “boatman pale,” across the
Stygian waters to “the far away home
of the soul.”
For her, we feel sure there is no
reason to weep, because in early
girlhood she had plighted her faith
to the Lord who saves, and confessed
him before men by taking her place
among his professed disciples, and
then lived so as to bring no reproach
upon the cause. Furthermore, when
the splash of the pale boatman's oars
were heard she talked to and counsel
ed those she loved about the life to
come, in a way that evinced a confi
dence and assurance to which those
who know not Christ as their Lord
are strangers.
There are many mysterious provi
dences, but perhaps none more so
than that which permits death such
trophies as are in pious promising
youth like Miss Ada, while maybe
in the same community is denied him
some who seem to bless none but
blight some. But God does right al
ways, and some day will make it all
plain, amid the commendations of an
gels and men.
Hard indeed it was for those who
loved her to give her up—by sad re
peated experiences this writer knows I
about this—but my dear friends, now !
sad and sore of heart, if we will but
be true and trustful, as they said at
the end of one of the days when Je
sus taught, and healed, and raised
from the dead, so we at the end of
life's longer day shall say. with satis
fied and comforted hearts: “He hath
done all things well." In tne mean
time remember that:
“Jesus kfiows all about our struggles.
He will guide till the day is done;
There’s no friend like the lowly Jesus,
No, not one! No, not one."’

Confederate Veterans.
The annual reunion of the Pike
county Confederate Veterans will be
held at Bluff Springs on the 4th
Thusday, July 27th. All veterans,
their families, neighbors and friends

the Veterans of the county in which

participate. A more permanent and
satisfactory organization of the Sons
of Veterans is desired on this occa
sion. Rellow comrades let none stay

Attention Veterans’ Sons.
As has been previously published
the Sons of Confederate Veterans will
hold their annual session at Bluff
Springs camp ground Thursday July
27th. Our meeting will be a joint
one with the veterans, and we hope
to perfect our organization.
A committee of one person from
each district of the county has been
appointed and instructed to get com
plete rolls from their districts. We
trust these gentlemen will find no
difficulty in getting names of tvery
Son in the entire county. It is a
duty as well as a glorious privilege for
us to meet and in an appropriate way
commemorate the noble deeds of our
fathers, who were not afraid to give
their lives and property for their coun
try and posterity, and who dared to
face the enemy for what they knew
was right. Surely we should honor
these patriots, who, when a terrible
war had forever settled their causes
for contention, formed out of the de
bris of war a thrifty and loyal south.
Let’s all come together; confederate
veterans and their sons, with the
Spanish-American war heroes, and
have a day of genuine festivity befit
ting a people possessed of our patriot
ism and valor. By order of
Jno. 13. Madden,
Commander.
