the man who said that the coal

true, then something is wrong.
A few winters ago we had a
warm winter, and some fellow ad
vanced the idea that before the
end of time, you could only tell
winter from summer by the put
ting forth of the leaves, etc., and
from that point of view, it seemed
that the end of time was near at
hand. It seems that this very
prophetic man is off now on an
extended vacation, and if this
theory is true, this old world is
good for a million years yet.

Tribute of Respedt.
At the annual stockholders
meeting of the Bank of Hampton
Jan 21, 1918, the following reso
lution was adopted:
In Memory of Mr. A. J. Henderson.
Resolved by the sock holders of
the Bank of Hampton, That in the
death of Mr. A. J. Henderson,
which occurred on the Bth day of
December, 1917, that the Bank of
Hampton has lost the services,
counsel and advice of an able,
loyal and efficient director :
That we shall miss him much,
as he has been a director of our
bank since its organization in 1902,
and in those fifteen years has
been present at very nearly every
directors and stockholders meet
ing in the history of the bank.
Resolved further, That the City
of Hampton and community at
large has lost one of its most pub
lic spirited and fair minded citi
zens; a man with fine judgment,
firm and decided character and
absolute loyalty l » his town and
friends.
That as an especi d respect to
his memory these resolutions be
recorded on a separate page in
the minute book, and a copy of
the same furnished to his widow,
Mrs. Irene Henderson, and a copy
sent to The Henry County Weekly
for publication.
In Memory of
Mrs. J. B. Moseley.
The sun must sink below the hor
izon, daylight must fade, twilight
will gather, and night must come,
then—rest. So the quick must
join the dead, but we confidently
look for a glorious morning.
Sister Moseley was the beloved
and unfailing friend and neighbor
of my deceased mother, and her
mild demeanor and gentle ways
won my childLood love and esteem,
which grew stronger and tenderer
through the years, as she faith
fully bore tlie same relation of
friena and nighbor to me. As 1
stood in awed ana helpless silence
•by the bedside of this dear mother,
and watched the yielding of tlie
earthly tabernacle, and knew that
the beautiful spirit weald soon be
free, a full realization of what her
children, her church and her neigh
bors were about to lose, burst upon
me with crushing weight; with
aching heart I turned from the
grief-stricken faces of her children,
praying that the gracious God in
wnom she had perfect faith might
resign our wills to His, while the
virtues of her pure life passed be
fore me iu vivid succession
Fiugal, industrious, untiring,
calmly performing each duty in its
turn, none seeming too hard, and]
none small enough to neglect, her
spotless home was ready, and rest
ful to any friend who came. She
was loyal in her frien (ships, toler
ant of mistakes in others and in
capable of insinuating blame. In
all my life, I never heard her apeak
harsh) v of any one. She was a
faithful, devoted companion, and
one of the tenderest mothers I ever
knew. Her Christian life was above
reproach. Stable and trusting pa
tient in adversity, bearing the fruit
of the spirit, love, joy, peace, long
suffering, gentleness, goodness,
meekness and fairh ; and unless
providentially hindered, she filled
her place in the house of God
promptly and regularly. As I view
her life from long and intimate ac
quaintance, it stands as a model of
simplicity, unobtrusive goodness.'
and purity.
Something like a year ago she
was stricken with paralysis, from
which she railed, but was never
herself again, gradually growing
weaker until the end came. .Dur
ing this enfeebled condition, she
was appreciative of every kindness
and bore her suffering with uncom
mon patience and fortitude. H *r
devoted children, with the aiu of
good physicians, did all in their
power to alleviate pain and supply
her wants, surrounding her with
tender and affectionate sympathy,
dear to the heart of a mother. To
them I would say, that while the
excellency of your good mother en
hances the greatness of your loss,
it infuses the sweetest of ingreli
ents into the bitter cup, for with
every thought of her comes the
comforting memory cf work well
done, and abundant evidences that
she is forever free from the inevit
able suffering of this dangerous
world. When these prhoions ties
are broken, and our loved ones
have passed into the mvstio Be
yond, there is nothing so calculat
ed to soothe and steady us as con
templation of the certainty, as re
vealed to ns, of the resurrection,
to glory and honor, of the dear
body, around which all our human
affections cling. In this truth,
death is swallowed up in victory.
Though she will be missed in home
and church and community, may
the assurance of her joy soften
your grief, while you strive to em
ulate her example and life.
The subject of this tribute was
the daughter of Taltou and Adeline
Colvi i, born May 19th. 18. r >H. In
her girlhood she joined Beersheba
Primitive Baptist church, and was
baptized by Elder I, L. Gunter.
She was married to James Buchan
nan Moseley July 27th, LS76, and
joined Ozias church by letter in
1878, where she remained a faith
ful and beloved member until her
death, which occurred at her home
in Love's district Dec. 26th, 1917.
After funeral services conducted
by her Pastor, her body was gently
laid to rest beside her deoeased
husband at Ozias, where sorrowing
relatives and friends had gathered
to witness and assist in this last
sad duty.
Besides her grand-children and
many relatives, she leaves to mourn
their loss, three daughters, Mrs.
W. F. Helms, Mrs. John R. Smith
and Mrs. W. M. Chafln, and five
sons, J. 8., J. W.. Walter and Asa
M >selev, all living in and around
McDonough, and T. Ft Moseley, of
Manchester, Ga.
We'll hunger for thy love, dear mother
and friend,
For the sympathy that is next to Divine,
But we accept the sacrifice and pain, as
ours,
Since the rest, and the peace, art thine.
Written by one who loved her.
Mrs. A. C. Elliott.
