Judge Gray, tbe man who tried and
passed sentence on the Haymarkel

patriotic work.

prosperity of the city, its churches, its

and how thankful we should be for the

lord to thy people. Be thou a father to

Quitman Iu The Ring.
We learn with pleasure that Quitman
is asking for the boring of an artesian
well. She should have had it long ago
and other things beside. Quitman is
situated in the best farming section in
South Georgia, but somehow or somehow
else, for the past few years her enter
prises have not succeeded and she has
not kept up with the procession. We
are glad to see her coming to the lront
now. If she wants an artesian well and
will employ Joyce and Finn, the gentle
men who bored our well, she will cer
tainly get it.

A Turkey Hunt.
Mr. W. A. Paschal, manager of the
tobacco farm three miles from town, de
serves tlie ribbon as a turkey hunter.
In three days last week lie killed ten
fine turkeys in the river swamp near his
home. Six of the turkeys were gobblers
and the other four were hens. They
were all fine and fat. Now if Mr. Pas
chal should take it into his head to try
it again about Thanksgiving day and
send one to the Herald office, the thing
would indeed be complete.
Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards
Men. *'
God pity the pei-son who is trying to
go through life carrying in his heart a
load of enmity and malice towards his
fellow man, but blessed is he who can
relieve himself of the burdeu and ex
claim “peace on earth, good will toward
men.” For him who “nurses his wrath
to keep it warm” life is scarcely worth
living.
We have no time to spend in unnec
essary bickerings in resenting imagina
ry insults* and in harboring malice. The
Master has said “another command
ment give I unto you, that ye love one
another.” Let us follow this Divine
command, that wc may be happy in this
life and have an assurance of that “peace
that passeth understanding” in the life
to come. “Peace on earth, good will to
ward men.”
Something Pretty.
A few days ago Mr. F. C. Harrison
was buried, and one day this week the
Cemetery Keeper, on his usual rounds
of inspection, found that woman's hands,
like an angel’s steppings, had done its
work. The grave was a beauty, and
those whom he loved in life remembered
him in death. The mound that marks
his resting place was covered with tiny
sea-shore shells, and on one side were
the letters “H A R,” on the end was “I,”
and on the other side, east, were “S O N.”
So plain that anyone can find the grave
of the departed veteran. Flowers, like
diamonds, were the settings, and all
shows us that little acts of love like this
toward the resting places of tbe dead re
minds us that even death docs not s
the chain that links the hearts of the
living.
Live on old friend, live forever.
Thy memory stands the storms of time,-
And will not die—no never.

Pretty Cheeky.
' Charles Coglau, the actor, who was
married to a v.oung lady in Indiauapolis
the other day, admits that he has
another wife, but claims that no legal
ceremony binds them. The Nashville
Banner in this connection, most justly
remaks: • “And this man who makes
with a complacent smirk the villainous
confession that he lias heartlessly -aban
doned the woman who, for twenty-five
years he introduced to the public as bis
wife, invites decent people to patronize
him and honor him .Jn his profession.
Such a man deserves the public condem
nation in such a practical way that he
should be. forced to hide his head in
shame and retire from the stage.”

IS TO PLANT ORCHARDS. California found not her greatest. wealth in
her gold mines, but in her vineyards and orchards. Georgia and the South can
excel the dry, hot climate of Calirornia in the production of fine fruits ; but to do
o we must quit planting cheap, worthless brush, and plant none but southern
