Tribute to John Dailey,
or SACRED MEV'HY.
I wa- shocked last Saturday morning
when i.ews came that John Dailey was dead.
I (ou d sc*ret Iv realize it.
I knew John welt. Hr* was an excep
tionally good Lev. Ever) body who kuew
him sa\s that. He was open, trank, can
.. . i
did and lit nest. These are characteristics
of the huilev family, lint John was more
than these; he was a Christian. He joined
the church before he was eight years of age,
and was true to his profession up to the
very moment that the I-ord railed him to
come up higher. I loved him liecause it is
natural for everybody to love a good boy.
His teachers loved him because he was obe
dient and kind. The community loved him
because they saw in him a noble manhood.
All this was attested by the large atten
dance at his funeral, people going from Mc-
Donough, Stockbridge, Jonesboro and the
surrounding country.
it looks like a pity that such a young
man—only 17years of a.,e —should have
been stricken down at the very threshold of
manhood, who had such bright promises of
a rich return for ail the tender care and
pains taken by his Christian parents iu
bringing him up in the nurture and admo
nition of the Lord. Still God knows best,
and He does all things wisely and well.
God does not afflict, He overrules all the af
flictions of all who trust in Him for their
eternal good, it is necessary and natural
for ail of our bodies to die and return to
earth, because of the disobedience of our
first parents. The Good Book tcachea that
“Sin came by disobedience, and death by
sin,” but that the Lord Christ—all praise
to His holy name—“gives us victory over
sin and death,” and John Dailey, when but
a child, heard the Muster’s voice and open
ed tiie door of his heart to Him, and the
Master entered in and supped with him and
John with his Master, and from that good
day Satan was banished so far as John
Dailey was concerned; and from thenceforth
he followed his Master In loving obedience,
manifested by his love for the church and
Sabbath School, his obedience to his par
ents and teachers, and his love and care for
his younger brothers and sisters.
1 shall not think of John Dailey as being
dead, for really no person ever dies, but
will remember him as I was accustomed to
see his bright face as he drove by my place
of residence with his buggy full of younger
brothers and sisters, on his way to school;
or as he came to my place of business at
tending to the affairs of his father. And I
shall think ol him fi.r the future as being iu
heaven with all the glorified saints who
have gone before, and by the grace of God 1
hope that some bright day I shall have the
joy of meeting him and others of my friends
and loved ones, and together we can “sit
down in the kingdom” “where no evil com
eth” and “where all tears are wiped away,”
and “there shall be no more sorrow.”
John Smith Dailey was the eldest son of
Andrew B. and Mrs. Hennie Dailey. These
good people, like their noble son, are ser
vants of the Master, and to them I extend
my heartfelt sympathies in their temporary
parting with their boy, and with them I re
joice in the blessed hope that some sweet
day they will be re-united around the great
white throne in heaven. T. D. S.

Th# Library Party.
The library party on last Friday
evening was a most brilliant affair, and
will long be remembered as one of the
most enjoyable social functions of the
seusou. The party was given by the
Misses Harrell and Mooney, at the
beautiful home of Mr. aud Mrs. John
Quince Nolan, and the splendid suc
cess of ths entertainment reflects a
great deal of credit on the able man
agement of Mrs. Nolan, who is a con
uoisseur in all things pertaining to
beauty, grace and culture.
The parlor, reception hall and dining
room presented a most beautiful pic
ture. The decorations of holly, mistle
toe and other evergreens and hot house
plants were most tastefully arranged,
reminding one of the “fairy laud” read
of in childhood days. We went, we
saw, and were enchanted with the
beautiful scene.
At half past niue all the guests had
assembled. The young ladies were
received by Misses Annie Mooney and
Ella Harrell in the front parlor, while
the young gentlemen were received m
the reception room by Mr. J. Q.
Nolan.
The young ladies were handsomely
attired in evening dress, each repre
senting some book. Miss Tippie
Harrell was librarian; Mlbs Vella
Harper assistant librarian; Misses
Mamie Woodruff represented the book
“Bitter ■ Sweet; Vernie Woodruff,
“Pickwick Papers;” Birdie Daniel,
“Thorns and Orange Blossoms;” Lila
Darnel, “Yellow Aster;” Annie Reese,
“Night and Morniug;” Flora Turner,
“Talk of the Town;” Maude Flynt,
“Just as I am;” Trellis Carmichael,
“The Three Feathers;” Lots Bryan,
“Star Heights;” Ella Harrell, “Wan
dering Jew;” Ida Lou Tomlinson,
“Old Fashioued Girl;” Anuie Mooney,
“Under Two Flags.”
Each young gentleman was n quired
to select from the “Library” a book;
he then sought out the young lady who
represented the book of his selection.
After a fifteen minutes conversation
with her, he then returned to the !i
brarian and made another selection.
As each geutleraan was required to do
this, the librarian and her assistant
were kept quite busy furnishing books
for the various applicants. Mr. Jack
Nolan created a good deal of merri
ment wheu he announced to the com
pany present that he too was repre
senting a book, aud wanted them to
guess what was the title of his “book ”
He came iu holding in his arms a very
large doll, dressed in long baby clothes.
As no one could guess it, quite a hearty
laugh was created at the anuouuceraeut
of the name, “What will he do with
it?” At the close of the game, ISliss
Anuie Nolan then distributed to each
one a doily. After ten minutes of
expectancy, the guests were treated to
tooth-picks. The next thing on the
program was the distribution of Eng
lish walnuts, each one containing one
line of a quotation. Those for the
young ladies were tied with blue rib
bon. aud those of the gentlemen with
yellow ribbon. The gentlemen were
kept busy for a few moments trying to
find the completion of his quotation
from the walnuts held by the young
ladies, and he then became her escort
to the dining room, where they were
entertained most royally. The menu
consisted of the following courses: First
course, salted peanuts and olives; sec
ond course, tutti frutti and cake; third
course, banaunas, grapes and figs:
fourth course, coffee and imperials.
While the guests were being served in
the dining room, a sweet toned music
box was playing soft, sweet strains
from various airs, which was a most
delightful part of the program, adding
no little to the pleasure of the guests.
The following couples were present:
Miss Annie Reese, with Mr Eddie
Copeland; Miss Birdie Daniel, with Dr.
G. S. Tiguer; Miss Lila Daniel, with
Mr. Arther Copeland; Miss Flora
Turner, with Mr. T. J. Brown of Lu
ella; Miss Mamie Woodruff, with Mr.
Uas Tomlinson of Atlanta; MissVeruie
Woodruff, with Mr. L. R. Carmichael;
Miss Maude Flynt of Griffin, with Mr.
Will Harper; Miss Ida Lou Tomlinson,
