Resolutions. Whereas, The Death Angel has again stepped into our midst, stop ping the pendulum that vibrated in the bosom of one of our worthy brothers. Whereas, Another gentle but heroic spirit among us returns to dust and another noble squ! wings its flight to that “undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler ’ere returns," and Whereas, Our thoughts delight to dwell upon the genial personal ity, the rugged character and manly qualities of our deceased brother; therefore, be it Resolved, That the Grim Reaper n thus invading our ranks and cutting down the beloved form of Bro. Julian McKnight has inflicted a great lo'-s upon this body and brought sadness into the hearts of his surviving fiiends and relatives; and, be it further Resolved, That we, the members of the Order of W. O. W. Camp Mo. 485 of Locust Grove, Ga., take this opportunity of giving expres sion not only to the deep and abid ing sorrow which fills our own hearts, but that also we extend to the widow and relatives of Bro. Julian McKnight our sincere sym pathy in these days of inexpressi ble grief, and that we give to them our assurance that the splendid qualities and virtues of our belov ed brother shall be a constant source of inspiration to us until we, too— “ Shall wrap the draperies of otir couches about us And lie down pleasant dreams.” Fraternally, G. R. Wilson, w. L, Smith, G. B. Hubbard, Committee. Elliottsville. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Elliott deeply sympa thize with them in the death of their infant daughter, Tuesday. Dec. 10.

To be ready at our Master’s call. Oh! give your aching heart a rest, f s ’or sorrow has a purpose. And dear brothers, sisters and friends, Heaven’s gate dear Will entered in.

You know there is an old saying that an idle brain is the devil’s workshop.- If that be true then why shouldn’t idle hands be his tools? While you are planning your Xmas purchases lay aside a dollar and a half for The Weekly and you will have a present for twelve months. If you don’t know what you are talking about, why, keep silent — unless to gain information. Sup position is not knowledge. Have you a heart? have you a dollar? Then join the Red Cross, the greatest mother in the world. I As I was riding along the road one day I happened to glance off to one side and saw a herd of cows grazing among the grass that grew by the little stream that was slow ly winding its way onward to the mighty ocean. What were these cows doing? Working for man. High over head the clouds were flying swiftly and gently, carrying to the parched earth and wither ing plants the refreshing raindrops that are so needful for a bountiful harvest. While between the clouds the bright, golden sun beams were trickling down and tickling the fields of green, what were those clouds doing ? Work ing for man, too. 1 tell you, folks, if we will but pause a moment in our mad rush for fortune and fame, and consider how God in His wonderful ways is working for us, then make up our minds that for the future we will work half as hard for Him as He works for us, we wouldn’t be looking with stretched neck to some imag inary planet a million miles away for that place we call heaven —it would be right here on this earth, right here among us and not a million or more miles away. As your uncle is now in the city of Atlanta (for the next few months at least) it will be impos sible for him to give local hap penings, but if the good editor will be so kind as to give a little space, I may from time to time write a few rambling remarks un der the heading, Odds and Ends. Uncle Jeremiah. HISTORIC PICTURES GIVEN FREE BY SUNDAY AMERICAN • Rotagravure Photosol Persh ing, Wiison’s War Cab net, Foch and Haig, to be In closed In Next Four Issues of Atlanta Sun day American.
