Memoir of Ma|. Jones.
Tile subject of this sketch de
serves more than a passing notice, j
that he lived and died. The epoch*-
of life are when we are born, mar-i
ried and die. Maj. Jones joined
the church in early life. He was
born May 22ud, 1832, in North
Carolina, departed this life oil
February 28rd, 1911, from his
home in Toombs county, Ga., to a
brighter, better home in the beau
tiful beyond. He responded glad
ly, for he looked forward, anxious
ly, to occupy the mansion prepar
ed by our loving Saviour. With
sympathy he sought the suffering,
wayfaring and the neglected. His
frank manner of dealing with
men, and his pleasant words for
every body, won for him a tender
place in the heart of all with whom
he came in contact. He was pos
sessed of a happy faculty of look
ing on the bright side of life, and
many are the times and places as
well as instances in which his
words of cheer have dispelled the
gloom and clouds of others. The
wife of this faithful man died on
March 15th, 1910, in great suffer
ing, and in just a year he too fol
lowed on. She was born in South
Carolina on Feb., 28, 1844. They
were married on June 10th, 1858,
and from this union 0 children
were borne, 5 girls and 1 boy. The
boy was killed at Baxley by the
Southern train several years ago.
Two of the girls died, and now
Mrs. M. I. Chitty, Mrs. M. R
Sapp and Mrs. C W. Wheaton,
who lives in New York, still live
to mourn their loss. Maj. Jones,
as he was familiarly called, passed
through many hard trials and af
flictions, but his faith never wav
ered or repined. He was never
heard to complain or utter a harsh
or angry word, bearing dissapoint
ments and vicissitudes uncom
plainingly,and his circle of friends
include many, which was
demonstrated at his funeral, which
was preached by his pastor, Rev.
C. C. Lowe, who paid a just tri
bute to bis memory, by saying
that the world and community and
even the church might go wrong
but Maj Jones stood true as the
needle to the pole. He was laid to
rest in Mt. Moriah cemetery close
to the tide of his wive. A loving
husband, a kind affectionate fath
er, a Christ-like man, loved and
honored by all that knew him, has
gone to his reward. As a soldier |
he was brave and when the Tocsin
of war was sounded he was one of I
Tattnall’s first sons to answer the
call. He was a member of Mcln
tosh Calvary, Capt Hopkins Co.,
served gallently until Gen. Lee
surrendered, came home and made
a living and raised his family in
good 6tyle
It was not the writer’s privilege
to know him personally, but by an
eye of faith we can see him as he
extends his hand from the shores
of eternal deliverance to family
and church, beckoning them on
where they can be one united fam
ily, in that bright world where
parting never comes and sorrows
are no more. C. C. Lowe, Pastor.
No Place in Georgia.
Recently a gentleman asked “Is
there a place in Georgia where a 1
feeble-minded girl of miue, who j
has some sense but has never'
learned to talk, can be placed?” ;
She is motherless, and the father !
is absolutely no account. “No
place in Georgia.”
This is ono of many applications
coming to the Ophan’s home. The
State Insane Sanitarium is going
to ask the Legislature to provide
a Farm School for trainning their
hands and brains and hearts a'so
to ask for a colony work for the
most pitiful, the epileptics. It is ]
a state work equaling in impotance c
and sucess that for the defective, ,
blind or deaf mutes Thirty
states are doing this work success
fully. 1
In nearly every town there are «
out or more neglected men, pns-i- <
bly women, who are the objects of (
jeers of even small bovs and often
the women are the cause of their
life long debauchery and disease, ‘
These are citizens and need pro- t
tection, the tax-payer needs it. :
some mother’s hoys need it,
ture generations of like minded
citizns need it; the whole of soci- *
etv needs this protection. There 1
are hundreds who are going back- '
ward to the animal who could be
elevated nearly to human stand
ards. Is it worth while? Ask
your legislator to support the
measure. j
\pple Pie Made Her Fortune.
Pivi ty Margaret Vanderbush
has b-en promoted from the posi
tion of co)k to that of the w ife of
1 Lines L. Fletcher, one of the
wealthiest residents of Lowerre,
near Yonkers.
The millioijare and the cook j
were married at the little church
around the corner by the Rev.
Charles Cowles.
Fletcher, who i 6 the heud of the
Yonkers Electric Plating Com
pany. and the Westchester Elect
ric Equipment Company, is 58
years old. His bride is 19.
Fletcher was a widower, his first
wife having died several years ago.
The bride was an orphan and
comes from New Jersey. A year
ago she became a servant in
Fletcher’s home. Fletcher liked
her cooking and was especially
partial to her pies. Mrs. Fletcher
admitted her belief that her hus
band’s liking for her date back to
the time he first ate one of her
apple pies.—New York World.
The Tactful Deacon.
A strange parson, officiating in
a country church in the absence of
the rector, to his horror saw the
gentleman who had hauden the
plate, when returning it to him,
slip a half crown oil and put it in
his waistcoat pocket, runs a
story in “Seventy years of Irish
life.” Immediataly after the ser
vice he told the sexton to request
the gentleman to come to him in
vestry room. When he came he
said to him : “Sir, I never was so
shocked and pained in my life. T
distinctly saw you, sir, abstract
a half crown from the plate and
put it into your pocket.
“Os course you did, replied the
man. Here it is, I always do so.
You see, when I get the plate, be
fore I begin to hand it around, I
always place a half crown on it in
order to induce the people to give
mere than they otherwise would,
and I afterwards remove it as you
saw me do.”
Turpentine and Rosin Stored at Collid
ing.
Pensacola, March 23 —I'he state
ment was published today that
the American Naval Stores Com
pany has about $3,000,000 worth
of turpentine and rosin stored at
Goulding, near this city, an a
| mount far in excesss of the com
; bined stores on hand at all other
American storage centers. It is
said that there are 140.000 barrels
of rosin stored at Goulding or con
siderably more than the stocks on
hand at any other point in the
world.
Nat Goodwin says marriage with
him “is not a habit, it is an inspi
ration.” If his matrimonial
troubles have been all he has de
posed in his various divorce suits
it’s a explanation.
Remove the Strain.
1 advertise what 1 do. I do what I advertise.
Do you realize the serious consequence of
continuous eye strain in both young and old!
From constant tuning and straining of vari
ous nerves and muscles, which causes more
headache than any other one thing. If your
eyes trouble you in any way, come to see me.
(My system is not experiment.) My knowledge
:
of the eye enables me to determine exactly
the kind of glasses you should wear. (Beware
of those whom juu do not know to be compe
tent. Beware of the man who is here to-day
and somewhere else to-morrow.) I am always
t
in my place of business, and take care of all |
cases where others fail. (Special engage- <
ments cun be made.)
