OBITUARY.
Mrs. Sarah A. Meeks, nee Hardy,
departed this life July ,24th 1891.
She was born Oct. 22nd 1840, and
was at the time of her death 50 years
9 months and 7 days old. She united
with the Missionary Baptist church,
at. Grove Level, during the summer
of 1864, and was a member of the
Homer Baptist church at the time of
her death. The terrible ordeal of
affliction which resulted iii her death,
was protracted aud painful, but
through it all she manifested much
patience and Christian fortitude, and
died full of faith in the saving power
of Christ.
She was the mother of six children,
left to mourn her loss—the loss of
the dearest and truest of all earthly
friends. During her last days on
earth she expressed perfect •resigna
tion to the will of the Master, and
desire to live longer on
earth was that tender and loving
emotion of the true Christian mother,
that she might train up her children
in the nurture and admonition of the
Lord. They are deprived of her lov
ing ministrations, motherly advice
and counsel, but a shining ex ample of
purity, self-denial and religious life
will ever be a a lamp to guide their
feet in the pathway of life.
“But, lo! a place he hath prerared
For me, whom watchful angels keep;
Yea, he himself becomes my guard;
He smooths my bed and gives me
sleep.
Rylee School House.
There was a revival meeting
earned on at this place commencing
Friday night before the fourth Sun
day and continuing until Tuesday
night following. The meeting was
conducted by Rev. AV. R. Holcomb,
B. T. Suddath, P. G. White, William
Pinkerston anil others. There was
much and lasting good accomplish for
tlie Master’s eatfte." There were sev
eral conversions aud quite a number
of seekers.
There has been a prayer meeting
in progress at this place for five years,
and during that time. tljere has been
added to the church about twenty
five, nil of which date their experience
back to the jwaver meeting. The
Drayer meeting has been largely at
tended, by both old and young.
May the Lord hasten the day when
there will be just such prayer meet
ings all over this land, and the sinner
may be brought into the fold of
Christ. The time has come when
the Churches of God should wake lip
to a fuller sense of their duty’. May
the time soon come when there will
not one be left to advocate the cause
of the wicke#one.
Off to the Chattahoochee.
A party of citizens, composed of
John Ray, Logan Perkins, W. F. Hill
And Oscar Brown, of P>anks, and
Jobnie Ray, of Jackson county, spent
last week on tire Chattalioochee river
worrying the finny tribe.
About one hundred pounds was
caught, and about one hundred and
fifty per cent was the amount of fun.
It rained, though this seemed to add
to the pleasures of tie trip. They
crack joker, along the road until every
one forgets entirely the cares of busi
ness life and laliors, and turns into
merriment every change in the trip.
Mr. Armor Rucker and his most
estimable wife greet*the party with
that old time hospitality which always
will be as one of the
happiest events of social life.
Hooking in mid stream from boats
anchored'was the sport which can
scarcoly be excelled anywhere. One
of the party who was too timid to
risk himself on a boat says he saw
five fish dangling in the air at one
time from one hook.
All kinds of kindness was shown
the party by the people there who
have never forgotten the old time
way of treating folks, and always ex
ert themse'ves to their utmost to
make others happy. God smiles upon
such people, and as an evidence of
this every manner of fruit, vegitalde,
and every' thing that tends to make
man happy was in abundance at
every man’s-door, and nothing to do
but to pluck and eat. It is indeed
the cornucopia of North Georgia.
Uncle Johnnie Ray, though the old
est, was life not death to the party.
It was said that some of them fellows
snored, and caused night mares, etc.,
to those who heard them, but on the
second night an attempt was made to
[keep Uncle Johnie up until sleep
would be so heavy that no one could
be disturbed. But alas! when a young
lawyer had waged argument logic and
legal lore, to his full capacity and
suggested that it would be well to
sleep. Uncle Jobnnie reloaded his
meerehaum pipe and sat on the side of
the bid and remained speaker for the
rest of the night, to the delight of
those who were asleep.
But he was caught in a heavy rain
the next day and tells a strange story
of leaning against a pine all by him
self, watching the lightning play from
hill to hill, and the torrents of rain as
they came nearer and nearer. He
told of a shelter in a mighty storm
and of the wood chucks that danced
out the checkered shades and the
squirrels seemed to sav, “Poor tel
low,” When the storm ceased how
ever, he returned was clad in dry
garments and said anew song had
been put into his mouth, and he went
on his way rejoicing.•
A more enjoyable trip was never
made. Not a thing occurred to mar
the expectations of the party.
PIJXOK.
The effect of the ttse of tobacco on
the student can often be traced bv
the observant teacher who sees clear
brains grow misty and bright eyes
dim, under the stealthy' use of the
cigarette. A principal of a hign
school reports the case of the failure
to graduate of two of his most promis
ing students, from the effect of tobac
co. And not only in high schools
and colleges is the evil taking root;
everywhere teachers are struggling
against the effects of this habit. They
find boys unable to do their work be
cause of a seeming mental stupidity,
and teachers cannot trace the cause
or devise a cure. Dr. Seaver, the
physician of Yale college and profes
.or of athletics, has given eight years
of observation to the effects of smok
ing upon the minds ami bodies of'Yale
students. He finds that those who
indulge in tobacco have less lung
power, less weight, less height, and
less nervous power. He also says
that of those who have reeeivedcer
tain honorary appointments, only five
per cent were smokers, and very few
smokers received appointment. Deni
orcst rimes.
Cotton Plant, Orangeburg, S. C.,
says: The $51,000,000 of United
States per cent bonds which are
due in September next are to be re
issued at two per cent interest. Any
one having $50,000 of these bonds can
deposit them with the government,
ank get a loan of $45,000 at one per
cent interest. AVonder what right
the government has to borrow tnis
money at two ]>er cent and lend it at
one per cent to the favored few who
are rich enough to possess $50,000 in
United States bonds ? That is ivhat
they will have to do, according to
the opponents of the sub-treasury.
M. F. Freeman and E. H. Buch
anan while walking through the ciop s
of Mr. Freeman, heard the chirp of
young chicks near by, and upon ex
amination found a pair of partridges
caring for the chicks the same as
hens do. The partriges would cluck
to them, and they would follow. Mr.
Freeman caught the chickens, only
two in .number, tied them under a
trap and caught the partridges, and
he now them in a coop. They
are still caring for the young chick
ens, covering them at night, and
looking after them earnestly during
the day.—Lawrenceville Herald.
