NEWNAN, FRIDAY, MAY 7.
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
RESOLUTIONS
HY COWKTA LOOGK, NO. 00, 1. AND A. M., ON Till*.
I.II I. AND rHAHA(*TKR OK JOHN ASKI.W,
Bro. John Askew was born in Cowe
ta county, Da., in the year 1847, and
died in the city of Atlanta, Ga., on the
!tth day of September, 1907.
While yet a hoy in his teens Iiro. As
kew entered the Confederate army,
and for two years did brave and valiant
service for his country. Bro. Askew
was initiated, passed and raised to the
sublime degree of a Master Mason in
the year 1872, in Coweta Lodge, No.
60, F. and A. M., at Newnan, Ga., and
was a faithful, consistent, consecrated
member. The confidence and esteem of
his brethren attested their apprecia
tion of him a a man and Mason by
electing him Worshipful Master of
Coweta Lodge, No. 00, in his early Ma
sonic career, and afterwards he was
further honored by being made High
Priest of Newnan Chapter, No. 34, It.
A. M. Both of these places he filled
with distinguished ability. He was
also the honored Recorder of Tancred
Commandery, No. 11, K. T., for sever
al years just prior to his death. Bro.
Askew was a member of the Presby
terian church, and conducted himself
at all times in such a mariner as to
command respoct and win admiration.
From a character so exemplary all of
us can find inspiration and take re
newed encouragement. From his la
bors here he has been called to refresh
ment in the Grand Lodge aboVe; for
we feel justified in indulging the buoy
ant hope that lie has been translated to
a brighter and better home beyond the
grave, where the air is filled with sol
emn, entrancing music, and the sky is
aglow with the splendor of sunlight
and perpetual spring—-where the spark
ling waters are dashed with the fra
grance of rare and beautiful llowers,
and the garlands, woven of the lilies of
the valley, are forever white and
green. Let him rest and sleep and
dream! Upon the marble slab which
crowns the mound where his remains
lie buried we place with tender hands
“clusters of beauty whom nonq can
debar; white as the robe of a sinless
soul, and sweeter than Araby’s winds
that blow”—the last and purest token
affection can offer to our departed
friend and brother. Therefore, be it
Resolved, That Coweta Lodge, No.
60, F. and A. M., has lost a faithful,
worthy brother, the church a devout
and consecrated member, the commu
nity an upright and patriotic citizen.
Resolved, further, That a page on
the minutes of the lodge be dedicated
to his memory, that these resolutions
lie inscribed thereon, and a copy sent
I he family of our deceased brother, and
that request lie made of' our city pa
pers to publish same. .
Respectfully submitted,
L. A. Perdue,
W. S. Copeland.

RItb. Lynch Turner.
Mrs. Lynch Turner, daughter of
Samuel Lumpkin and Ellen Smith Fa-
ver, passed sweetly to her heavenly
inheritance March 12. 1909. She was
born on the 5th of M/iy, 1874, and mar
ried Mr. Lynch Turner June It), 1895.
At the age of 17 she joined the Bap
tist church in Newnan, Ga., where she
1 was born, and here she spent all the
days of her earthly pilgrimage. Her
j husband and one child, Ellen Lillian,
survive her, as do her mother, sisters
and a brother, John IJ. Faver, of La-
I Grange, Ga.
She had a broad mind and an artistic
temperament, a happy disposition, a
compassionate heart, and an unwaver
ing loyalty to principles and persons.
God as her center of gravity, the
source of her bright life and His wis
dom and love the sufficient explanation
to her of all that entered into her life.
The cup He might put to her lips, or
bitter or sweet, she bravely and cheer
fully drank, heartily professing and be
lieving that all things must work to
gether for her good since they came
in the order of His sweet will.
About a year ago 1 looked across a
room at a potted flower and asked her,
“Is that azalia natural or artificial?”
And she went and took it up and held
it to the sunlight and answered, “My
Father painted this.” So her Father
touched her with His skillful hand,
and, letting Him have His way, she
grew herself daily unto a beautiful
image of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Her last illness was "unusually pro
tracted and painful, but moved her not
from her absolute trust, and her dying
bed was an evidence of Christianity to
all who were privileged to see her
spread her wings for the home on high.
It is to be doubted if any woman was
held in greater admiration in this sec
tion of the State, for thousands of peo
ple believed that she would never for
sake them, and among the poor and in
the midst of the afflicted she was an
unassuming benediction. Day or night
she was ready to shield the oppressed,
to minister to the sick and dying, and
always and everywhere she openly and
gently spread the white mantle of
charity over the erring. Her indigna
tion at insincerity and her scorn of all
cowardice of opinion or conduct, added
to her other virtues, made her to the
writer of these lines a woman worthy
of unbounded admiration and love.
At her funeral the church was
crowded, though the day was most in
clement, and in the air was peace and
triumph and the blessed hope of the
life everlasting. Near her coffin was
the azalia. R. J. Bigharn.
Newnan, Ga., April 12, 1909.
“Yes, sir.” boasted the hotel pro
prietor, “that dog’s the best rat-catch-
in’ dog in the State,”
Even as he spoke two big rats scur
ried across the office floor. The dog
merely wrinkled his nose.
"Rat dog!” scoffed the traveling
man. “Look at that, will you?”
“Huh!” snorted the landlord. “He
knows them; but you jest let a strange
rat come in here once!”

Not Religion.
New York Times.
Mrs. S., of New Orleans, has for
many years been faithfully served by
I two negro women who, although bound
{ by the tie of common devotion to their
mi l re - , yet detest each other cordial
ly, ho that the kitchen is the scene of |
continuous battle.
Martha, the cook, is a leading light
; in the church. At revival meetings she
I was always the first to occupy the
mourners’ bench, the first to shout
j “Hallelujah!” and to fall into those
j contortions of body and outflinging of
[ limbs that to the African mean “get
ting religion.” Eliza, the maid of all
work, on the other hand, had always
been an unregenerate heathen, scoff
ing at religion, jeering at Martha and
declaring no power on earth could in
duce her to go inside a church. Great,
therefore, was Mrs. S.'s surprise on
the occasion of the last revival to find
that it was Eliza and not Martha who
was attending the meetings.
“Why, Martha,” she exclaimed,
“aren’t you going to church?”
“No’m,” answered Martha sullenly.
“Why?”
“ ’Cause dat Liza she goes now.”
“But isn’t there room for both of
you?”
“No’m, dey ain’t.”
All Martha’s pent-up indignation em
phasized the answer.
“But why?”
“ ’Cause, Miss Mary, dat Liza she
jes’ goes ter spite me. No sooner I
gits up to go to de mo’ners’ bench dan
Liza she toilers me and sets down dost
beside me, and befo’ I has a chanst ter
git ’ligion Liza she begins to girate
around and shout ‘Glory hallelujah!’
and she out wid her fist and hits me
him in de jaw, and she out wid her
footses and kicks me spank in de shin.
But, I tell you, ’tain’t, Tigion Liza’s
got, Miss Mary; hit’s debiltry.”
Gov. Smith Will Have Big Practice.
Atlanta, May 1.—Two months before
the expiration of his term, Gov. Smith
is finding his services as a lawyer ex
tensively in demand.
The Governor has received numerous
letters in the last few days, it is said,
seeking his services in various.sorts of
litigation. His reply has been, gener
ally, that he will be glad to take hold
of such matters after July 1, and in
the meantime if they wish anything
done, they may consult the firm in
which his son is now a member and to
which he will return when he leaves
the Governor’s office.
The office suite of the Governor’s
firm has been recently enlarged, pre
paratory to his return to it. And he
will jump right from the executive of
fice into the court-house, as it were.
But it is not Gov. Smith’s purpose
to make himself a slave to his practice.
He intends to devote a portion of his
time to his library and another portion
to his farm, in both of which he finds
abundant enjoyment.
It is known that Gov. Smith had an
offer from a Western lyceum bureau
for an eight weeks’ series of lectures
in the West, and at a handsome figure,
but the idea of stepping right out of
the Governor’s office onto the lecture
platform, it is said, did not appeal
strongly to him.
The Governor’s friends state, how
ever, that it is his purpose in the near
future—probably next year—to make
a Western tour, for which it is said the
opportunity has been offered him, and
it is not unlikely that at that time he
will accept.
For the present, however, following
the conclusion of his term, he will de
vote himself to his law office, his libra
ry and his farm.
A heart full of faith means short
shrift to sorrow.
Resolutions of Respect.
Whereas, an all-wise providence saw
fit to remove from our midst our'■be
loved friend and sister, Mrs. Fannie
Walker Carter, Jan. 26, 1909—aged 49
years. She had been a devoted and
consecrated member of New Lebanon
church for twenty-five years, and was
always ready to speak a word for
Christ. As a friend and neighbor none
named her but to praise. She was an
unusually strong-minded woman, of
clear convictions, and did not hesitate
to express her views. In the death of
AN OLD ADAGE

“A fight purse is a heavy curse’
Sickness makes a light purse.
The LIVER is the scat of nir.
tenths of aii disease.
Sister Carter the church has sustained
an irreparable loss, yet we feel that
our loss is her eternal gain. She has
gone to receive her reward where there
is no sickness nor death. Her life was
a lesson of faithfulness to us—an inspi
ration to the best things of life. We
would say to the husband and children,
“Weep not, for she is not dead, but
sleeping in the arms of her Savior.
Theeforre, be it—
go to the root of the whole mat
ter, thoroughly, quickly safely
and restore the action of th<
LiVER to norma! condition.
■Hve tone to the system and

ake No Substitute
Resolved, That New Lebanon church
has lost one of its most faithful mem-1
bers, the husband and children a loving
wife and mother, and the community in
which she lived one of it best neigh
bors.
Resolved, That we extend to the
father and childrefti sympathizing
prayers that our Heavenly Father may
grant them a double portion of His
j spirit to sustain them in their sad be-
i reavement.
j Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
; lutions be spread upon our church re-
j cord, and that The Herald and Adver-
| tiser and Newnan News be requested
I to publish the same.

The most important part of the human system is the blood. Every mus
cle, nerve, tissue, bone and sinew is dependent on this vital fluid for nour
ishment and strength necessary to maintain them in health and enable each
to perform the different duties nature requires. Even the heart, the very
“engine ” of life, receives its vigor and motive power from the blood. Since
so much is dependent on this vital fluid it can very readily be seen hour
necessary it is to have it pure and uncontaminated if we would enjoy the
blessing of good health. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments
of mankind; when from any cause it becomes infected with impurities,
humors or poisons, disease in some form is sure to follow. Muddy, sallow
complexions, eruptions, pimples, etc., show that the blood is infected with
unhealthy humors which have changed it from a pure, fresh stream to a
sour, acrid fluid, which forces out its impurities through the pores and
glands of the skin. A very common evidence of bad blood is sores or ulcers,,
which break out on the flesh, often
from a very insignificant bruise or
even scatch or abrasion. If the blood
was pure and health}' the place would
heal at once, but being loaded with
impurities, which are discharged into
the wound, irritation and inflamma
tion are set up and the sore continues.
Bad blood is also responsible for
Anaemia, Boils, Malaria, etc.; the
weak, polluted circulation cannot fur
nish tlie nourishment and strength
required to sustain the body, and a
general run-down condition of health
results. S. S. S. is nature’s blood
purifier and tonic; made entirely of
healing, cleansing roots and herbs.
It goes down into the circulation and removes every particle of impurity,
humor or poison that may be there, restores lost vitality, and steadily tones
up the entire system. It adds to tlie blood the healthful properties it is in
need of, and in every way assists in the cure of disease. S. S. S. neutral
izes any excess of acid in the blood, making it fresh and pure, and perma
nently cures Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and all other skin diseases and eruptions.
S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Malaria, and alf,
other diseases or disorders arising from bad blood. Book on the blood and
any medical advice desired free to all who write.
Your S. S. S., in my opinion, is as good a
medicine as can be had; it simply cannot be
i mproved upon as a remedy to purify and enrich
the blood and to invigorate and tone up the
system. This spring my blood was bad and I
was run down in health, and having seen your
medicine highly advertised I commenced its use.
Today my blood is in fine condition and my
general health is of the best. Am filling posi
tion as fireman for a large concern here, and
if I was not in good physical condition it would
be impossible for me to fill the place. Your
S. S. S. has been of great service to me and I do
not hesitate to give it the credit it deserves.
