Well Known and Papoular More, Died Tuescay Morning. * . v Miss Ludie : V. Bond died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Bond, in Ellenwood Tuesday morning at 3 o’clock. She had been in feeble health for two years but had been con fined to her bed only since Satur day. Miss Bond was but 21 years of age and was just on the threshold of a beautiful and useful woman hood. As a girl she had attended school in McDonough until a few years ago. Hers was such a sun ny sweet personality that she quickly won the love and admir ation of all who enjoved the go >d fortune of knowing her. Her hosts of friends in M :Dono ugh feel a personal grief at her passing and truly mourn with the bereaved family. Possessing both charm and beauty of person and character, together with unusual talent, there vas in her life every prom ise of beautiful and useful years to come in which she would be a joy and inspiration to her loved ones and friends. So doubly saddened ; does her goiry awav leave th. v who knew her. The remains were brought to McDonough on the 8:45 <A look train Wednesday morning and the funeral was held at the Methodist church Wednesday afternoon at 1 o’clock. The Rev. H. S. Smith and Rev. Mr. Reynolds conducted the services. The interment fol lowed at the McDonough ceme tery. Miss Bond is survived by her parents: three brothers, Messrs. Fred Bond, Morris, and John Bilim Bond: Mr. and Mrs. W. A Si )- son, of McDonough, were also h r grandparents. Uncle John Kimble was in toy. n Wednesday and his friends glad to see him it was the l.r: ; visit in wo; • th..;: a year. Good prices on wire f* barbed wire and nails. C Turner Mercantile Co.

Take your measure for the no year from a high pinnacle wor thy of emulation and determine in vour heart ih it vou will reach that towering height and plant the hinner of your victory there be fore the sands of 1915 have run their course. Resolve that as the sands each day slip throu jh your fingers they shall carry with them links in the chain of your success. It may be that your ambition is a new oik something that you never thought of before —that you have just caught the vision of the grandeur of a life-work. It may be that you have met rebuffs- have lost courage and have give i up trying to climb. It may be that you are loM in a big city and feel that there is no place for you; or that you are off in some remote corner, far from the busy haunts of men and see no goal to spur you on —feel that there are no heights for you to climb; no great success in store for you. There is always the mastery o! adf, wlreh is the greatest of vic tories; and there is always some child t > e ire for, someone in afflic tion to comfort and cheer—achiev mm its in spiritual as well as ma terial things. If you have no life purpose, get one. Learn the emptiness of purposeless, drifting. Take ties new year to youiybivust an l nourish it as you would a child. Feed it with your ambition and watch it row. Love your work and the. opportunity to work at it. Thus will the links in the ch on of your success daily lengthen i until they reach the heights. Hail the new year, find and ri uri;,h your ;m biticn, lock aloft ' and dauntless -limb to v.ctory. ANNIE MILLER KNAPP, in Won is National Weekly. A Kind Rememherance.

Reagan, and Mrs. J. M. Gilmore, autoed .to my home, and, as they entered the home, Judge ! Reagan bore > beautifullbasket of .well ami i w confectionaries, presenting it t my self and wife, in token o’ their kind remembrance. The sprit and manner in which the Offering was made left no room to- cavil and, if suspic on could have been present, then was no room for it to play a ;. part on the minds of the nci - i’ents. The refore, our a opr ■ . tion at a.single bo; nd reach* 1 it; limit. If a return of mi o k things was required to show th. value the event brought to u , w would stand aghast at its a i o it, AfU : sp« adlns a few mom o ; with us, a rem irk by one of tin represciilativi s that they mu hasten on, there being so in i, \ more places to visit, even a casu i hearer could see the indicatio; that ot. cf Ola veterans would be made to enjoy a similar Christmas eve pleasure. In our home, just 5s in man, homes, there are objects placed away as and th* li very kin 1 and gem pis act mil • our minds expand until there w room for it to be phjjced there as one of memory’s keepsakes. When the veterans can Vio longer respond to suen invitatinN , as have been sent out by th order for their social pleasure, then it would be a nation which would destroy its own seif to think that thev had no place in the sympathetic minds and hearts of the Daughters of theConfedc - acy who survive them. If jeal ousy were present, it would die before it could project an effect ive thought on a liberal mind that their kindness was being mis- . placed. i t :o the brother veterans: vemr will Dring >'• e l ■ oseh of : i i mess of our steps a Iciig journey, but t v ' : ( 'nc’iVate ;■ slow pro i I, oi vvhicli I hope t tot . jiori us reward.
