Mrs. Emma Harden.
The subject of this sketch de
serves more than passing notice.
She was horned in Tattnal county
near Reidsville, March 2nd, 1874,
and departed this life April 22nd.
1911, from her. home in Toombs
county near Ohoopee to a brighter
and better home in the beautiful
beyond. She responded gladly for
she looked forward anxiously to
occupy the mansion prepared by
our loving Savior with sympathy.
She sought the suffering, way
faring and neglected. Her pleas
ant words for eveybody won for
her a tender place in the hearts of
all with whom she came in con
tact. She was possessed of a happy
faculty of looking on the bright
side of things and many are the
times and places as well as in
stances in which her words of
cheer have dispelled the gloom and
clouds of others. She leaves a
mother, three sisters, three broth
ers, a husband and eight children
to mourn her loss. She joined the
Methodist church when a small
girl and has been a consistent
member to the time of her death.
She passed through many hard
trials and afllictions but her faith
never wavered or repined. She was
never heal'd to complain or utter
a hash word, bearing disapoint
ments and vicissitudes uncom
plainingly and her circle of friends
included many which was demon
strated at her burial. She was laid
to rest at Mt Moriah cemetery.
She was a faithful wife, affection
ate mother and loved and honored
by all that knew her.
She has gone to her reward, to
meet with others that are gone be
fore, to be one united famiy in
that bright world where parting is
no more and sorrows are unknown.
“One precious to ourheart is
gone. The voice we loved is still,
The place made vacant in that
home, can never be refilled.
Della Benton.
A Great Service To The State.
The Rome Tribune, which has
the faculty of piercing the bull’s
eye at nearly every crack, rang
the hell in the following:
“In commenting upon the Strip
ling case, the Chattanooga Times
is grossly unfair to Governor
Brown and the Times states that
Stripling killed the destroyer of his
sister; which is utterly untrue and
never once alleged in the hearing
or elsewhere; and that Stripling,
upon the record, had lived an hon
eßt and upright life, while iu ex
ile, which 's vigorously denied in
a part of the record and the de
nial sustained much evidence. The
Times, despite the fact that it has
never cared particularly for Gov
ernor Brown since he failed to put
over a certain real estate deal in
which Chattanooga was deeply in
terested, might, at least, get its
facts as much as half way right
when it essays to criticise one of
the Governor’s official acts.”
Although he was denied a sec
ond term by the narrowest mar
gin, and because he was more of a
statesman than a time-serving
politioian, Governor Brown is
growing stronger and stronger in
the estimation of thoughtful peo
ple as a safe conscientious and
wise Governor.
If he ever did a greater service
for the people than when he pen
ned the ‘‘opinion” in the Stripling
case it was when he declined to
premit certain real estate dealers
in Chattanooga and elsewhere to
“put over” the people of this
State that Chattanooga terminal
deal.—Telegraph.
