The following resolutions,
were recently sent to Mrs. G. P.
Reviere at Pelham:
n We, the women of the Home
Mission Society of Cairo, Ga..
feeling that we have cause for
gratitude in that for twelve
months we were assc ciated in
Christian work with Mrs. G. P.
Reviere—a soul who was not
bound by circumstance in her
conception of her responsibili
ties, are glad to send her these
few wor.ds of appreciation. She
worthily led us, as President,
and aside from her excellent of
ficial work, she has left to us
the sweetest example of effici
ency and faithfulness in the way
in which she managed the af
fairs of the society in the face of
obstacles which might to a spirit
less brave, have seemed insur
mountable. In her removal to
another field of labor in the
Lord’s vineyard, we sustain a
great loss—one which we feel
it impossible to supply, but our
prayers, our love, and our good
wishes follow her, and we truly
congratulate our sister church
at Pelham on her presence there
as a valuable acquisition in ev
ery department of its work.
Therefore, be it resolved,
First. That we will try to ap
propriate in our own conduct in
relation to our work,her example
of devotion and zeal, and that
we thank her sincerely for all
that she did and endeavored to
do foi us.
Second. That at this meeting,
we have ail especial prayer for
her good husband and the dear
little boy, that health and
strengtn of soul and body, and
all God’s blessings may be their
portion, making this a year of
results to be long remembered.
Third. That we send a copy
of these resolutions to the Aux
iliary president in Pelham, as
our letter of introduction, that
we devote one page cf our rec
ord to them, and that we also
send a copy to the Cairo Mess
enger for publication, believing
as we do, that one blossom of
love to the living is worth a
million wreaths of appreciation
when it is too late for them to
cheer the faithful heart.

In response to the call issued
by Mr. J. B. Wight, president
for this district of the Southern
Cotton Association, quite a
goodly crowd assembled in the
town hall Saturday afternoon.
After an explanation from the
president of the object of the
meeting, pledges of reduction
were heartily and enthusiasti
cally made bv practically if not
every one present. Those hav
ing cotton on hand also express
ed the intention of holding on
to it for better prieps. A canvass
of the streets afterward secured
many additional names of those
who would reduce. Our farmers
should rally as a unit to this
movement which is of such mo
mentous consequence. Never be
fore have we been so well organ
ized, and if we fail in this fight it
will be because ot traitors in our
own ranks. Southern white man,
can you bear this name. Don’t
imagine either that the other fel
lows can win the battle and that
you will enjoy the booty gathered
while your brother fought. It
must be a united effort of every,
one or we shall suffer rout before
which the traitor will be first to
he trampled with his Achan
hidings. We are being weighed
in the balance of world wideopin
ion. On the outcome hangs much.
If our financial loss or gain were
all we could view it with less emo
tion but the great aggregation of
southern farmers, comprising as
we love to think, the flower of
American manhood, have said we
are men; we have rights that
must not be ignored; we will
stand together, and we will labor
with intelligence so that the
world’s markets may he properl;,
supplied without a ruinous sur
plus. After having said all these
things, if we now, through a mis
taken sense of greed, turn traitor
and defeat the aims for which we
were fighting, then there is but
one opinion of us left to the
world and it could not well be
too severe. We are persuaded
though that the farmers are go
ing to stand shoulder to shoulder
in this move. Let all make some
sacrifice for the common good and
it will be more than compensated
for in the increasing prosperity of
our southland. I am yours for
diversified farming at the south.
