Resolutions on the death of
Mrs. H. W. Warnock by W. M.
S. of Tarrytown Baptist Church.
Whereas, an allwise and ever
merciful Providence has seen fit
to remove from our midst and
from the membership of the W.
M. S. of Tarrytown Baptist
Church our much beloved sister,
Mrs. H. W\ Warnock, who, for a
part of her life, was a consistent
member of the Baptist Church.
1 She was kind-hearted and always
willing to help those in distress.
She was a consecrated worker in
her church, Sunday School and
Society. May we all be inspired
j by the influence of her noble life
that when we are called to go our
work will l>o well done as hers.
Therefore be it resolved:
1, That, while we bow in hum
ble submission to the will of our
Father, we feel very much the
loss of one of our most faithful
members, but pray the Father to
help us to realize that our loss is
her eternal gain, and that we
may feel more determined to fol
low more closely Him who doeth
all things well.
2, That, while our hearts go
(out in sympathy to the grief
! stricken family, we pray that
God may sanctify this affection to
| their good, and that this may he
j one more tie to draw them nearer
their blessed Saviour.
3, That a copy of these resolu
tions be spread on our records
and one sent to the family of the
deceased. Also, one copy be
sent to The Montgomery Monitor
and to The Christian Index for
publication.

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, SEPT. 5, 1912.
A Misfit Sausage.
A drunken man broke a bunch
of steins in a Chicago case be
cause he was in a playful mood,
says the New York Mail, When
he was arraigned in court he
said his name was Nichols Smith.
There was something in the way
he said it that the judge believed
an awful mystery was being kept
from the light. And the jurist’s
intution proved right.
“I don’t believe your name is
Nichols Smith at all,” the judge
said. “Now tell me what your
real name is before I send you to
jail.”
The man looked beseechingly
at the judge, and then, as if he
were confessing a great crime,
he said in chest tones that sound
ed like a whisper from deep cav
erns: “My name is Sausage
Nichols Sausage.”
Then Sausage related this: “I
came to this country seven years
ago. Over in Germany Sausages
move in the very first society, and
I had no reason to be ashamed of
it. But in this country I suffer
ed greatly on account of my
name. 1 went home one night
and thought it over. The next
morning when I woke up my
name was Smith.”
He should have changed his
name to Sirloin Steak, and then
everybody in America would
have had to look up to him.
Land Activities.
There are ample indications
that the coming Fall will be the
most active season in the pur
chase of lands in the Southeast
in the history of this section.
The volume of land transac
tions throughout the Summer
have been unusually large, and
there has been a notable number
of purchases of tracts for sub
division.
Prospecting parties are begin
ning already to come into the
Southeast to inspect lands, and
before many weeks such parties
will be coming from almost every
section of the country, as indi
cated by announcements that are
being made continually.
The fact is that prospective
buyers throughout the country
are coming to understand in a
measure thut in no other section
of the country can desirable land
l>e bought at such low prices as
in the Southeast. Climate and
residential conditions considered,
there is practically no compari
son.
As cheap comparatively as land
is in the Southeast, it is being
demonstrated almost daily that
land prices in this section are in
creasing constantly, and natural
ly so, with the development of
the Southeast. There will never
l>e a time when land in the South
east can be bought so cheap as
now.—lndustrial Index.

Out Os His Jurisdiction.
The justice of the peace was
in the South, and a marked state
of ignorance, says the Popular
Magazine, lie was approached
by a man desiring a divorce, and
he did not know what to do.
flailing a friend to his side, he
whispered:
“What's the law on thisp’int?” :
“You can’t do it,” was the re
ply. “It’s out of your jurisdic-.
tion.”
The husband, observing the
consultation and feeling keenly
his desire to escape from his mat-1
| rimonial woe, explained:
“I’m willin’ to pay well; got
the money right here in this
| sock.”
At this the justice assumed his
gravest judicial air. Obviously,
he was deeply pained. Never
before in all his life had he been
so bowed down by grief.
“You knew before you came
here,” he said sadly, “that it
wasn’t for me to separate hus- j
band and wife, .and yet you not|
only take up the valuable time
of this court by talking, but you
actually propose to bribe me with
money. Now how much have
you got in that sock?”
“About six dollars and a half,
your honor.”
“Is that so? Then I fine you
five dollars for bribery and a dol
lar and a half for taking up my
time with a case out of my juris
diction; and may the Lord have
mercy on your soul:”
