Another Pilgrim Home.
(Sacred to the memory of Mr*. Elizabeth
Wilson, who departed this life December
Gth, 1895.)
Another pilgrim ha? rciched home.
Reached the beautiful gates of gold.
Where she shall forever roam.
And bask in the Savior’s love all unlold,
Safe beyond all earthly toil and care,
Beyond ail temptations and strife:
“Where the skies are always fair.”
In that sweet, happy land where love and
jov are always rife;
Love riding on every passing breeze,
Joy rolling as the waves of the sea.
And marching to music that ne’er shall
cease—
Marching through all eternity.
Dear friends weep not for your loved one,
That has gone on before, and waits for you.
By Christ’s Omnipotent throne
With all the ransomed, faithful and true.
And now she has a golden harp and crown,
And is marching to that n.elodious strain
Of all the angels and saints that have a re
nown,
And has joined in the glorious refrain.
She has joined the choir that ne’er will end,
And is chantiug those melodious songs
To (he loved ones left behind
In this weary land of sins, sighs and
wrongs.
Bidding them to dwell in peace and love,
And he ready when the reaper shall call,
And joi - her in that heavenly home above
With Moses and the Lamb and sainted
Paul.
Now dear friends will you he ready and
Waiting for him:
Ready should He call you tonight
To join your loved one in her triumphant
hymn,
‘ In that land that is always fairand bright.”
Oi will you he tar out on the mountain
dark and cold,
Never more to enter the Shepherd’s peace
ful fold,
‘ Far away from the gates of gold”
And the loved one’s face never more to be
hold?

(Last week’s letter).
N-ws scarce this week. Nothing
seems to turn up.
We might inform the readers of our
column that the weather is unusually
warm for this time of year; that meas
les are raging; that farmers are hauling
out guano, and that the stock law is
not being observed; but we presume
th- y are all acquainted with the facts
in the case.
Everybody has settled down to busi
ness and we are all waiting patiently
for the coming of old “Pros ” Of
course he’s coming as soon as John
Sherman can get the tariff fixed to suit
him aud Bond Cleveland has saddled
another debt on the next genetatiou to
pay the old fellow's expenses.
In view of the new school regula
tious, enacted by the board of educa
tion, by which the salaries of the teach
er are based on the general average
attendance, it will be of the highest
importance to all who are interested in
education to support the schools in
their respective communities aud co
operate with their teacher to secure a
good attendance, in order that they
may secure a salary that will command
the services of the best teachers.
The following are the boys and girls
whese names appear on the roll of hon
or for the month of January at the
White House Academy : Masters
Clarence Ford, Hollis Ford, Raleigh
Ford, Howard Gunter, Theo Thomp
son. Pattie Thompson, Yisco Gunter;
Misses Vesper Mattox, Ophelia Mose
ly, Lila Gunter, Vesta Gunter, Nevada
Jones, Mollie Jones. No more intel
ligent hoys aud girls are to be found iu
any community than in this, but the
indifference of some parents iu dovel
oping the rniuds that oue day must help
to administer the affairs of church aud
State is deplorable in the extreme.
Iu our last communication, through
mistake of the printer, the word
“gilted” appeared for gifted and
“served” for severed.
Two new comers have lately made
their appearance in this vicinity, guests
of Messrs. A. C. aud C. T. Elliott —
both girls.
I( may be. the proper thing to build
a new $20,000 court bouse at this
time, aDd if it is absolutely necessary
(nothing short of bare necessity could
justify such actiou under present con
ditions) that it should be built at once,
we believe the bond plan would be
preferable to levying the whole tax in
one year, but we fail to see why the
tax payers of the county should make
the purchasers of the bonds a present
of $2,000, free gratis, nad unless we
have misconstrued the call for the
election, that is just what it means; it
says that the interest on the whole
issue ($20,000) is to paid annually, and
the principal to be paid at the rate of
S4OOO per airnum. Now under that
provision, the county would have to
pay, for the last year, the interest on
the whole $20,000, which would be
SI,OOO, whi'e we would only owe
$4,000, Ihe interest on which would
be but S2OO. The grand jury recom
mended that S4OOO of the bonds be re
deemed annually, but the call does not
seem to be in accordance with that
recommendation. The difference in
intereit between the plan recommended
by the grand jury, and the one out
lined iu the call will be just $2,000.
Let the people look to their interest.
A word to the wise is sufficient. How
ever, we may be mistaken as to the
iutent of the call; if so, it will be an
easy matter for some one in position to
know to correct the mistake, and would
be highly appreciated by the writer.
A certain gentleman, who was re
cently opposing the bond issue, being
confronted with the possibility of a col
lapse of our temple of justice, replied
that it would be a God-send if it killed
about forty lawyers. Shame on such
a blood thirsty individual! No ir<sin
uation on the legal fraternity.
If Rural appreciates his present from
The Weekly, he will quit “talking
through his hat” so much. Dennis.

Hut the Russian Is Nine Years the
American’s Senior.
Uncle Hiram Lester's death has
been widely published in the newspa
pers, and in connection with it some in
teresting facts have appeared. In one
of our exchanges we find the follow
ing;
Hiram Lester, who was perhaps the
oldest man in the Uuited States, died
in the poor house of Henry county
about ten days ago. He was 129
years old, and reached this rape age by
a strict conference to nature's laws. He
was energetic in his earlier days and
even after he had passed the meridian
of life, but as he always had good
health he never realized the’necessity
of providing for a rainy day, and early
after lie had become a victim of feeble
health, the fact dawned upon him that
he was a pauper. Without money or
friends to care for him, he was sent to
the poor house, aud there remained
until 1894, when he was carried to the
Piedmont Exposition and gazed upon
in a side show as a curiosity While
there he was married before a large
audience to a Mrs Mozely, who was
more than seventy, and, after the ex
position was over, the two returned to
Henry county and lived happily to
gether until the money they had earn
ed became exhausted. This'was about
two months ago, and Mr. Lester made
his second entry into the poor house
and his spouse went to live with rela
tives.
For this interesting story we are iu
debted to the Atlanta Constitution, but
this paper claims too much for its cen
teuariaD. It claims that the subject of
the sketch was the oldest uiau in the
world, but a Russian newspaper man
comes forward iu a write up of a man
who is niue years Mr. Lester’s seuior,
and whose prospects are good to spend
several more winters on earth. His
name is Ferodorowitch Kouzmiu, and
had it not been for the news instinct of
the Russian, the aged mendicant would
have still been in poverty and obscuri
ty. While the reporter was stopping
at a wayside inn, a man of nearly a
hundred years, asked for his fa
ther. The reporter doubted the cor
rectness of the beggar’s statement, aud
would not be convinced to the contra
ry until he had visited the log hut
where the two resided. There he
found the old man in abject poverty,
hut was not sure about bis age until
the entry of bis baptism was found.
As soon as the mendicant gained a hit
of notority, he became cynosure of
much attraction, people contributed to
he aud bis son’s support aud now they
are in comfortable circumstances.
The Time for Building
Up the system is at this season. The
cold weather has made u lusual drains
upon the vital forces. The Blood has
become impoverished and impure, and
all the functions of the body suffer the
consequence. Hood’s Sarsaparilla is
the great builder, because it is the One
True Blood Purifier and uerve tonic.
Hood’s Pills become the favorite
caibaric with them. All druggists. 25c.
An exchange remarks that the prob
able fate of the free silver bill and the
tariff bill in congress suggests Eugene
Field’s story of the t’uel between the
calico cat and the gingham pup:
Next morning where the two had sat
They found no trace of the dog or cat;
And gome folks think unto this day
That burglars stole that pair away.
But the truth about that eat and pup
Is that they ate each other up.
Don’t think because you are sick
and nothing seems to give you relief
that you can’t be cured
There must be a cure for you some
where.
If your doctor can’t cure you, per
haps he has mistaken the cause. Any
body is liable to make a mistake some
times.
Ooe in three of us suffer from iudi
gestion, and one out of three dyspep
tics doesn't know it. That is he may
know he is sick, but blames it to some
thing else.

Our Home Paper.
One of the mistakes that the people
of a county often make is in putting
■ucli a small estimate upon the worth
lof tlieir county paper. Some men es- !
i timate the value of a newspaper more
by its size and the amount of reading:
matter than they do by the many spe
cial favors that our home paper is con
stantly conferring upon the citizens of
i the county. One of these special fa
vors is the publication of extended
obituaries, which is done without
charge, for the space these long death
notices occupy. I know Tun WfcEKLV
has frequently published ( of my owu
writing) what would have cost the
parties, having it done, four or five
dollars if they had had them published
iu their church organ. But The
Weekly, with its limited space, has
never refused to publish a single
death notice that I ever sent to that
office; aud yet many of these notices
were writteu at the request of parlies
and published for them, when they did
not even so ' ch as subscribe for or
take the paper. Still when no mem
ber of their family happens to die, they
have but little use for such a poor lit
tle sheet as the “home paper.” But
when some oue of the special friends
die out, they want a great long ac
count of it written up and sent to the
couuty paper for immediate publica
tion; and they even want a copy of the
paper containing the notice sent to them.
That copy of the “little home paper”
is the last one they want until another
one of tlieir household dies out. If
you think your “church orgau" is the
best and most preferable medium to
communicate the sad tidings of the
death of your beloved kindred, you
try your church organ and you will
soou find out that you will have to pay
for every word that paper publishes
over oue huudred words. While our
little “home paper,” small and insig
nificant as you regard it, publishes
from two to three hundred words fre
quently without looking for your name
on the subscription list. It is only our
home or county paper that confers
these special favors. The man who
neglects to patronize bis county paper
(some of them at least) ought not to
ask that paper to publish the death of
liis wife, before the funeral is over, so
he would lose no time in looking up
another.
Either take The Weekly or don't
expect it to publish “your death no
tices” without charge. W. T. W.

The Baltimore Manufacturers’ Re
cord gives our people the following
excellent advice:
“All through the South there are
towns having excellent natural advan
tages —towns in which money is lying
practically idle, bringing little or no
good to the community. If every
such town in the South could lie in
spired with some of the hustling quali
ties which have made Atlanta and
which are to-day bringing to the front
Rome, Georgia, now one of the most
conspicuous places in the South, be
cause of its success in capturing great
cotton mills, hundreds of towns
throughout the South would quickly
spring into life and activity. The
South has the ability and the money to
build up its own industrial interests.
It ought to be more independent, more
self reliant, and its people ought to
unite and through active co operation
gather into manufacturing enterprises
iti now utilized capital, and thus cease
to depend" upon ou'side men and out
side money. There is scarceiy a town
of 1,000 people in the South which
could not raise $25,000 or $50,000 or
♦ 100 000 of local money for the pur
pose of starting industrial enterprises;
but there is too much lack <,f public
spirit and broad minded energy in
many of these towns.”

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE COTTON CRAZK.
Looks Like Another ltin Crop, and 5
Cent Cotton the Result.
In spite of the work of the American
Cotton G rowers’ Protective Association
and ennstant efforts of the state agricul
tural department is to decrease the
coltou acreage this season, the indica
tions from fertilizers so far are that the
acreage prepared far cotton by the far
mers of Georgia will be the largest in
(he history of the state.
Investigation at the state agricultural
department on Saturday, according to
an Atlanta special to the Savauah News
of Sunday, developed the fact that the
sales of fertilizer tags up to Feb. 1 have
been heavier than for any correspond
ing period in the records of the depart
ment. The heaviest sales of tags here
tofore was for tbo great crop of 1894,
which so glutted the market that the
price went down to four and five cents,
and the farmers did not realize enough
to repay the cost of raising the crop.
Following this bitter experience of a
10,000,000, bale crop the organized
movement to reduce the crop was suc
cessful last year to the extent that the
crop now on the market has brought a
good price. This rise in prices brought
about by the reduced crop has apparent
ly caused the farmers to determine
upon planting every available acre this
season in cotton, despite the warning
of the agricultural department and of
the association which was instrumental
in securing the reduced acreage last
season.
Commissioner Nesbitt has been doing
energetic work iu trying to hold down
the acreage in Georgia this year, but if
the sale of fectilizers can he taken as a
guide to the area to be planted this
year, as it has hern regarded in the
past, the commissioner’s warning *has
fallen upon lieedlees ears. Over 250,-
000 fertilizer tags have been sent out
by the department already, and the ap
plications for them continue to come iu
with every mail. Taking the depar
ment’s estimate, 250,000 tags mean
150,000 tons of fertilizer either already
sold, or its sale in sight.

A lawsuit at Snow Shoe, Pa , re

affairs. Harry Lorah was arrested,
charged by Boniface Mignot with
stealing his wife, children and
furniture. It was shown by the evi

fifty cents for the woman and after
wards married her. The case was
compromised by Mignot taking the
children aud cook stove and Lorah
kept the woman and the balance of the
household furniture.

A horse, an animal said to have
once been quite common in our city
streets, was seen this city yesterday.
He attracted much cuiriosity and he
was followed wherever he went by im
mense crowds. it is almost impossible
to believe that our ancestors could
have trusted thoir lives to so formida
ble a creature. It is understood that
the animal escaped from the Kquine
Pood abbatoir in Brighton.
An almost unprecedented event hap
pened in this city last evening, when
Mr. and Mrs. John Brownsmith cele
brated the anniversary of their mar
-iage. The Brownsmitbs were mar
ried a year ago. It is quite remarkable
for a couple to live so long together in
the state of wedlock and their celebra
tiou naturally drew to their residence a
dense throng of admiring friends. Con
gratulations were poured upon the
happy pair, with wishes that they might
continue together long enough to ob
serve the second anniversary of their
wedding.
The directors of the Euripides Man
ufacturing company have been convict
ed of the charge of failure to examine
into the accounts of their treasurer, and
have severally been sentenced to im
prisonment in the state prison for a
term of five years. The counsel argued
that, inasmuch as the treasurer's ac
counts, as shown by expert examina
tion, weie faultless during liisteu years
of service aud that no suspicion had
ever fallen upon him, the sentence
should be lighter, but the court very
justly remarked that the offense was
the same ub if the result bad been se
vere loss to the stockholders.
It was curious to see a pedestrian in
Washington street to day, the first one
that has been seen ip tfie city for many
years. He occasioned no small amount
of vexation to the uuicyclists, in whose
way he was gettiug continually. There
can be no objection to people walking
in their own houses or in the country,
where there is plenty of room, hut it is
clearly out of the question that the
practice should be permitted in our
crowded streets.
The death of Solomon Strongmind,
which occurred this morning, calls to
mind the remarkable fact that duriog
his long residence of five years or more
in this city he has never mysteriously
disappeared for even once. Undoubt
edly Mr. Strongmind was somowhat
eccentric in his habits generally, but in
this especial matter the controlling
cause must have been something far
more potent than mere oddity.
A mau appeared on the street dress
ed in trousers aud cutaway coat yester
