The “Woman’s Foreign Mission¬ ary Society” at their meeting on Friday afternoon, Sept, lsr, moved and adopted that the following res¬ olutions should be given as a mem¬ orial to one of their most beloved members:— That in the death of Mrs. Sallie P. Weaver, who, while on a visit at the home of her youth, was call¬ ed to lie down “To that long, dreamless sleep that separates Time’s evening from Eternity’s fair morning-” we have lost one of our oldest and most devoted mem¬ bers. In spite of her approaching age she was active, energetic, cheerful, always ready to occupy her place in church, or at her society. Strangers or those who did not know well, often thought her brusque, but those who knew her were aware that it was only can¬ dor of soul that never wore a mask or uttered a deceitful word. She was as true to conscience as a needle to its pole. Therefore be it 1. Resolved, That we bow in humble submission to the will of God, who, although his ways are often mysterious, yet doeth all things well. 2. Resolved,—That we send to her bereaved relatives this testi¬ monial of our affection for her. 3. Resolved further, That a copy of the same shall be inscribed in our book ot minutes, that her memory may be kept fresh as the odor of sweet smelling flowers for th6 years to come. Mrs. Kobt. Fowler, Mrs. Sam Thompson.

Have a purpose in life a right purpose—then press on! Success will finally crown your efforts. If the world des¬ pises you because you do not fol¬ low its way, if you are right show it by your life, and finally the world will turn to your way of thinking and give you credit. “Girls, yon cheapen yourselves by lack of purpose in life,” says Rena L. Miller. “You show com¬ mendable zeal in pursuing your studies; your alertnss in compre¬ hending and ability in surmount¬ ing difficult problems have become poverbial; nine times out’of every ten you outrank your brothers thus far; but when the end is at¬ tained, the goal reached, whether it be the graduating certificate from a graded school, or a college diploma, for nine out of every ten it might as well be added thereto, ‘dead to further activity,’ or, ‘sleeping until marriage shall res urrect her. y n If my boy should leave school with his head full of history and grammer and the classics and modern languages, and all the other studies of the curriculum, and yet should not have in his heart to yield a willing obedience to law—the law of the school, the law of the community in which he lives, the law of the State aud na¬ tion—we should feel that his time had been thrown away. We need in all our schools insistence upon obedience to proper authority, for these boys of today are the citi¬ zens of tomorrow and everywhere throughout the length and bredth of the land we must have more prompt and willing obedience to law. * m Fathers now basking in the sun¬ set of life may not readily recall all their early experience in life, their struggles aud triumphs of their childhood, but every feature of their childhood home, the play¬ houses they helped their sisters build are photographed upon the heart’s tablet and will never fade away. The golden light of eterni¬ ty will not dim the brightness of this picture. One will never for¬ get the place of his birth, the lit¬ tle broken cart, the sled and kite, and the older brother who led the way to the hillside where the fair¬ est wild flowers bloomed. These sacred memories will never grow less bright, or dim with age. One car load tin-ware at New York Bargain store almost cheap as dirt. Baptists Meet at Lithonia. Messrs. C. E. Cook, E.
