Senator Bacon’s article, “Will the

Saturday Evening Post has been
very extensively copied over the

to retain a piece of useless territory

In Memoriam.
Mrs N. J. Rodgers, wife of J. A
Rodgers, died at her home in
Perkins, Ga , Jan. 31st, 1902, in the
48th year of her age. When a child
she gave her young lfe to Him,
who said, “Suffer little children to
come unto me;” and was through
the remainder of her life, a con
sistant Christian. While in the
midst of life, surrounded by friends
and by those whom she tenderly
loved, her very pathway decked
with flowers, her t eautiful iife made
its exist, like the sun, far down
within the West, sinks in his glory,
while all nature is lit up with a
smile. “She was full of good works,”
hating none, but loving all Mother,
wife is gone. The first to leave a
vacant chair. But she is not dead.

Turn on the Water and Lights
AbfMit the first thing the Creator
din was to turn on the light. It is
now up to the-people ot Waynesbo
ro to follow the example or remain
a dark back number. If the dark
corners in Waynesboro could fell
the tale, every woman in town
would have ff just cause for divorce
from any man that w T ould vote
against water and lights. Ahout
twenty five families are paying
enough f>r water to pay the inter
est on tl.o entire issue of bonds. This
amount can be increased materially
if the people are allowed to water
their garden-, lawns and flowers
What a boon to merchants if they

what a blessing to the hi usekeeper
to have the streets sprinkled during
the dry, busy, dusty fall month's.
Some are circulating a report that

The claim that a private concern
could make it pay, and tho town

b; true when a lot of cheap John

to work to wreck the plant. The peo

rather than be owned by them.
