Smith, former representative in leg
islature, ex-clerk of superior court
of Fannin county, find at present
postmaster at Mineral Bluff. The
communication speaks for itself:
Mineral Bluff, Ga.,
Jan.-0, 1911i
Dr. A, F. Christopher is how ar
ranging his business in Mineral
Bluff, Ga., preparatory to; moving
to South Georgia. He contemplates
leaving here about the / first of Feb
ruary and expects to locate iri Grady
county; perhaps at Calvary. The
people in this town and in the sur
founding country, regret very much
for him to leave.
Dr. Christopher has practiced
medicine in this county twenty
'years, and has had a fine practice
and been successful, and hri .only
reason for changing locations is; to.
get into a level country and in
milder climate. By& tiis kindness
courtesy and genercgfty he has en
deared himself to all of our people
and'his place among us will be hard
to fill.
Dr. Christopher is a broad-mind"
ed, public spirited,high-toned Chris
tian gentleman, and can always be
feund on the side of morality, relig
ion and good government.
While his removal will be a heavy
lots to us it will be a great gain to
, those among whom he may locate.
Our best wishes for his future wel-
' fare and prosperity will accompany
him wherever he may locate.
We have no hesitancy in recom
mending him as a suitable associate
for the good and law-abiding people
among whom he may sojourn.

Obituary.
At 0:30, p., M., December 28th,
1910, Mr. Henry B. Sutton, onc.of
the few remaining citizens of the
elder rank in Cairo, passed from
earth into the realm occupied by
the departed people of God. The
present writer feels that some public
expression should be given, in mem
ory of the man.
Mr. Sutton was born, in Baker
county, Georgia, in the year 1852,
Early in life,, he began work for the
Centra] of Georgia Railroad,in Ran
dolph county: and, in 1871, at the
age of nineteen, he was married to
Miss Matilda Rhodes, near Cuthbert.
In 1875, when twenty-three, the
young man joined the Damascus
Baptist church, in Randolph; and
from that time on to his death, this
writer is assured that his life was
above reproach.
Mr. Sutton worked for the Cen
tral Railroad seven years; at the ex
piration of which period he entered
into an engagement with the At
lantic and Gulf Railroad, now
known as the A. C. L. Railway,and
held! his position thenceforward,
for twenty years, until failing health
compelled him to abandon “rail
roading,” for farming,
About six years ago the physical
condition of the then aging man be'
came so much impaired as to force
a cessation of active business of any
kind. Then, two years later, he
broke down .almost completely; and
during the two years last past, he
was.an utter wreck.
Mr. Sutton's married life was
eminently peaceful,and happy. He
was qhe father of eight children; all
of whom, except a little boy who
.died at the age of three years, sur
vive him. They are Messrs. Joseph
H., of Kent, Fla., Raymond L,
Sam and W. A., of Cairo, Mrs. T.
F. Dyson of the same place, Mrs.
Monroe Merritt, of Pelham, and
Miss Maude, the youngest; who re
mains with Sam, to comfort her
bereft mother, in the saddened
home.
Besides these relative*, several
grandchildren are left,—and two.
brothers, Messrs. Thomas, of Cli
max, and Fallton, of Grady county.
At the time of his death, Mr. Sut
ton had been a citizen of Cairo and
immediate vicinity , for twenty-seven
years, leading a quiet, orderly and
unobtrusive life. As a husband, he
was, throughout his entire married
state, devoted and true; as a father,
he was never known to set an un
worthy example before his children;
as a church member, he was unos
tentatious, but consistent.
Mr. Sutton *8 illness was of a sin
gularly trying and distressful char
acter; but during its entire long and
dreary continuation, he was never
known to murmur against his God,
nor to repine at his fate and, then,
when the end came, it was like the*
falling asleep of a little child; he
closed his lips and his eyes and
geptlv, sweetly, passed away.
During his grievously protracted
sickness of weary months and years,
that noble woman, his wife, neyer
faltered' iri her sweet ministrations
of love and devotion; and for, sev
eraldays before his death, all of his
cbitdreni.w'efe constantly with him.
And now, as a fitting, part com
ponent of-this'simple tribhte.to the
memory of a worthy man, the
vv.riter is sure that nothing could be
more appropriate than the following
Words, taken from a letter of a
prominent railroad official to one of
the sons of the deceased: “Your
telegram informs me of the passing
away of one of the best men I ever
knew. He was a good
worthy citizen and a true friend.”
The funeral services over the body
of the departed were conducted by'
his pastor, before a large congregft”
tion, in the Baptist church edifice,
in the afternoon of the day follow
ing death, and during the discourse,
tears wore (lowing freely from many
eyes in the audience. Then follow
ed, in conclusion, at the grave, the
Masonic burial ritual, under the di
rection of Mr. J. B. Wight, actnig
master, in the most Bolcmn and im
pressive manner; after which the
grave was committed to the care of
the artisans” and “all was over.”
Peace to his ashes!
ROYAL RUUD TO
THE POLE
Does Not Exist, Perry Declares to
House Committee—“Discovery
Pole” a Misnomer.
There is no royal road to the
North Pole and no sign post mark
the way, according to Captain
Robert E. Perry, the Arctic ex
plorer, before the House naval affairs
committee. He declared that data
collected on the dash of the Peary
expedition to the top of the world
would be practically valueless to
the aspiring argonauts.
“Then the tforth Pole is as much
lost as ever?” inquired Representa
tive Gregg.
“Discovery of the North Pole is a
misnomer,” retorted Peary. “It
is an attainment.” He acknow
ledge that he had made no official
report to the Navy Department.
