THE CIRCULATION OF MONEY.
From The New York Evening Mail)
A man made $25 of loose, surplus
unearned increment by putting poor
quality in a case of soldier's shoes he
shipped abroad. As he had lots more
money, made the same way, he gave
the $25 to a head waiter to reserve a
table for New Year's eve.
The headwaiter gave the $25 to his
wife, who handled his finances, and
she used $24.95 of it to pay the head
waiter's income tax.
The income tax will be devoted to
supporting the navy to stand off some
country that dosen’t like us any more
because we made poor shoes for its
soldiers,
As for the odd nickel, that is still in
escrow, as it were, and will be thus for
another generation or two, when the
son of the headwiater will throw it
to the grandson of the shoe manufac
turer as a start toward a night's lodg
ing.
Money always goes somewhere,

ORIENTAL LACQUER.
Japan Got the Art From China, Then
Surpassed Her Tutor.
Lacquer has furnished a most varied
material for one of the earliest indus
trial arts of China, and, though there
are no authentic records of its origin
nor of the steps of its early develop
ment, the process is already called an
ancient one in a work published in
1387, in the first year of the Ming pe
riod, which proves that the art was
known in as remote an epoch as the
Sung dynasty. The culminating years
of its development were reached in the
reign of the Emperor Chien Lung (1736
B 5), whe greatly encouraged its manu
facture and had large quantities of
lacquered objects made with which to
furnish and decorate his palace. After
his death the art seems to have de
clined in merit, and since that time lit
tle or nothing of any high artistic value
in Chinese lacquer has been accom
plished.
The Japamese first learned the proc
ess from China, but have sinee brought
it to a point of perfection which sur
passes the finest productions of the
Chinese. Im Japan, however, lacquer is
applied solely to objects of compara
tively small size, while in the Chinese
empire it served teo decorate screens
and panels of tremendous dimensions.
Lacquer is divided into two clagses—
painted and carved lacquer. Both kinds
are sm-lw!inwslinl:li(l with mother-of
pearl, ivory, jade and various semi
precious stones. ;
It was in the early seventeenth cen
tury, when Holland and Portugal be
gan their trade with the remote east,
and particularly with China, that mar
velous empire teeming with so many
extraordinary artistic manifestations,
that urope first began to reéalize the
new and vast field of decorative ele
ments which were contained in and re
vealed to her artists by orienta! art.—

MRS. J. H. SHEARER.
Sunday about 6 o’clock, p. m., Mrs.
J. H. Searer died, at her residence 309
W. Pine. About her dying bed were
her husband, and all eight of her liv
ing children. For several years her
health had been bad, she suffered
much, ahd death was relief from all
mortal pain.
Mrs. Shearer was born May 16, 1848
and united with the Methodist church
during the summer of 1865, at Bethel
church, near Athen, Tenn. At Athens
Tenn.,, Oct. 23, 1865, John H. Shearer,
and Miss Pairlee Bonner, were united
in the sacred bonds of matrimony,
and she lived as his faithful wife for
a little mere than half a century.
Two of the children which blessed
this union died early in life, and the
following eight chilaren survive her:
J. F. Shearer, Willacooche, Ga., Mrs.
I\V. G. Burnes, Hiawassee, Ga., Mrs.
E. H. Norton, Alapaha, Ga., Mrs. M.
Cabett, Willacoochee, Ga., B. L. Shear
er, Fitzgerald, Ga., O. F. Shearer,
iz\lapaha, Ga., H. V. Shearer, Thomas
ville, Ga,, and Fred Shearer, Fitzger
ald Ga. These with the fond husband
and twenty-five grandchildren are left
to mourn her loss.
It is difficult to fully estimate a
life, because we know so little about
the depth of human experience, but it
is good to know that Mrs. Shearer had
the pleasure of knowing that she as
sisted in winning her husband to the
church, and several of her children.
For many years, in fact, as long as she
was able, after taking up family pray
er, she kept the fires burning on the
family altar, and this fact speaks vol
umes of love, Christian consecration,
and devotion to duty.
After being a member of the church
below for more than fifty years, we
belive she has been translated to the
Church above. May her husband,
children and grandchildren, follow her
as she followed Christ.
The funeral service was conducted at
hier late residence, Sunday afternoon,
1 o'clock, by her pastor, .. A. Hill,
and the remains were taken to Alapa
ha for interment, awaiting the resur
rection of the faithful.

YESTERDAY WITH THE {
' FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH.
At 11 a. m, the morning hour, the
Pastor, Rev. L. A. Cooper, spoke to
a capacity congregation upon “The
Abiding Relation With Jesus Christ,”
and the certainty of its subsequent
power in Prayer, Service and Infu
ence.
A convincing illustration was giv
en from the personal experience of
President Wilson with clear and tel
ling effect. ;
Seated one day in a barber’s chair,
he was suddenly and subtly conscious
that a personality had entered the
room. Recognizing the atmospheric
change, he listened to the conversation
which ensued. The personality was
the immortal Dwight L. Moody, unat
tractive in appearance, untaught in
schools, but whose richness of spirit
in the Abiding Relation With Christ"
was so -real that he. could not
remain for a few moments in a bar- )
ber shop withoua beginning an evang- |
elistic service. ‘
Sunday evening 7:3o—“One Thing .
Thou Lackest.”—Mark 10:21. At the |
evening service, the Sunday school au- [
lditorium was opened to accomodatei
the congregation. The orchestra ren
dered its usual pleasing service, a spc
| al feature of the musical program be
!ing a trombone solo “The HolyCity”’
