Congressman J. W. Wise is at
home today for the first time
since congress convened. Every
interest of the people of his dis
trict is receiving his personal at
tention. He has already succeed
ed in getting the rural routes re
established and the long routes
discontinued. Service in the ru
ral districts is of most importance
at this time and he is using every
effort to make better this service.
He will be a candidate to succeed
himself. —Fayetteville News. And
if anybody doubts that he will
succeed himself we have yet to

There is just as much honor in

our duty that reflects honor or
discredits us, rather than the dutv
we perform. The man with great
responsibility must make great
effort to meet it. He must do his
work well. The man on the farm
who can do farm work well is do
ing his duty well pud he deserves
respect and honor for it. —Ex.

“Hi- is not dead but «le<‘peth. Well we
know.
The form that lift, today beneath the sod
Shall rise what-time the golden bugles
blow,
And pour their music through th courts
of God.”
On Wednesday night of Jan. sth
the deHth-angel visited the home
of Mr. and Mrs. John Lee of Stock
brutge, (. a.. tind took from amongst
us our dearly beloved one. Mr. N.
J. Carroll.
It was so sad to give him up, but
we know that the all knowing God
knows best, tind that he was taken
for some good purpose. •
He had been in bad health for a
number of years, for the past year
being unable to leave his room.
His children were his constant
companions during his long illness,
and they devoted to him their ten
d'*rest- care. He was always cheer
ful and liked to joke, and whenev
er his friends came in to see him,
lie always met them with a smile
on his face. Although his nerves
being so racked at times that bis
friends were denied the privilege
of seeing him, he would always ex
press a great desire to see them,
but knowing his condition he would
say, ‘ I can't.”
He had been a member of the
Primitive Baptist Church for forty
years; was a faithful member, a
good citizen, and a kind and lov
ing father, and his memory will
live in the hearts of nis many
friends he left.
He was 73 years of age. and a
soldier of the civil war. belonging
to Company f\ 22d Ga. Regiment,
not from the love of war, but from
patriotic sense of duty to liis be
loved Southland.
The funeral services were held at
Stockridge Methodist church by
Rev. Gus Elliott and Rev. John
Hendon. The remains were car
ried to Burke county for burial.
He is survived by seven children,
six daughters and one son, Mrs. J.
C. Lee. Mrs. J. S. Gilbert, Mrs. R.
E. Lee and Mr. L. J. Carroll, all of
Henry county, and Mrs. .]. M. Ber

G. W. Brown of Clayton county,
twenty grand children, two great
grand children, and one brother,
