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.
