NEWNAN, FRIDAY, FEB. 26.
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
In Loving Memory of MrB, E. A.
Martin.
It is with a sad heart that I write a
little sketch of my dear sister’B life and
death. I am nearly nine years older
than my sister, and remember her well
from her infancy. In the balmy month
of May, 1867, there came a tiny bud of
love to brighten the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Giles Pitts; but before many days
passed the frail little form began to
weaken until seemingly she was almost
at death’b door, when Mr. Ed Ragland
(a good friend and neighbor of my
father,) cnme and gave my mother a
remedy for my little sister—one per
haps that had been used in his large
family of children, My mother used
the prescription, and repeated it as of
ten as necessary, and to her great de
light the frail infant began to improve.
Then, at the tender age of about three
months, she was taken wjth whooping
cough, and my mother thought sure she
would never survive that dread dis
ease; but, to her surprise and delight,
she began to grow, and the attack did
not seem to hurt her at all. Father
and mother named her Rebecca, for
Grandmother Pitts. On she grew to
girlhood, brightening the home, and
then to modeBt, gentle young ladyhood.
Whilo yet in her teens she was happily
married to Mr. H. A. Martin on July
23, 1873. This proved a happy union,
’till Death reached forth his hand and
touched her. God blessed this home
with two children—a daughter, Mrs.
Jas. Cureton, and one son, Mr, E. H.
Martin. She had five grandchildren;
one preceded her to the grave several
years ago.
Even a child is known by her doings,
and all expectations were fulfilled of
those who loved her in babyhood, child
hood and womanhood. She was a quiet,
retiring, home-loving woman, minister
ing to the wants of her family, her rel
atives and friends. She joined the Bap
tist church in 1883, and was ever loyal
to the same. She took great interest in
the building and furnishing of the Bap
tist church at Moreland. She worked
with mind, pen and purse ’till it was
completed. Then how enthused she
was in mission work! She talked with
mo often on the subject, and told me
how much she onjoyed it, The ladies’
missionary meetings she attended ut
different places—Macon, Carteraville,
LaGrunge, and perhups others. She
waB nlways uplifted by the songs
she would hear at these meetings.
One especially I heard her speak of—
“Will There Be Any Stars in My
Crown”—and it was so appropriate
that it was sung at her funeral.
To her children the memory of her
strong personality, her wise judgment
and love iB a heritage that will grow as
the years teach them the meaning of
so rich a blessing ns having had such a
•mother. Death is something wo can
neither shun nor put off. It will not be
long before we all will have to lie down
in death.
Rev. S. B. Cousins preached her fu
neral at her homo on the afternoon of
Jan, 27,1910. His sermon was touching
and consoling. He said “lie had been
her pastor for sixteen years, and she
was what he called an ideal Christian.”
Oh, what a sweet thought! She said in
her last illness that she neither dreaded
nor feared death. In her last words to
mo she said “she couldn’t live many
days unleBB she improved very fast,'’
but said “it was all right if she did
not,” and seemed more than willing to
die. In her feeble strength and difficult
breathing, as she told me, it sounded
sweeter than any music to my ear. I
could but think, what beautiful resig
nation! Patient) in all trials,,she bur
dened not even her closest friends with
her troubles. To us her departure will
be ever a source of deep sadness, but
we feel (hat our Iosb is her eternal gain,
How we will yearn for her gentle pres
ence in our homes, and to see her pleas
ant face! We should submit to God’s
wisdom, knowing He never makes a
mistake. Always forgetful of self, even
ir. her extreme weakness, she never
ceased to think and plan for the com
fort of all around her.
It 1b the will of our Father that af
flictions come; it is by these He causes
us to cling closer to His promises.
The floral offerings were numerous
and beautiful, and never mingled their
delicate odors above a form more lova
ble. Bro. Cousins said “she was not
dead, but sleeping.” Her mission on
earth was finished, and heaven was
made for such as she. Let us be sus
tained by the hope of meeting her
again. Her health had been declining
for several years, and for three weeks
she suffered intensely, without a mur
mur, and died peacefully. Her remains
were laid to rest in the quiet cemetery
where our father, mother, brother,
grandmother, grandfathers, and other
relatives and friends lie sleeping.
"O, yeH, we shall sleep, but not forever;
There will be n glorious dawn;
Wo shall meet to part, no never,
On the resurrection morn.”
Turin, Ga., Feb. 12th.
It is seldom we are called upon to
note the death of one whose character
was so worthy of notice as was that of
this noble woman, Rebecca Martin.
She was reared in the bosom of a Chris
tian home and community. She was
kind and charitable, gentle, loving,
faithful and true. She was always in
her seat at church when able to be
there. God saw fit for her to suffer a
long, lingering illness, but she was
never heard to utter a murmuring
word, but submitted with sweet resig
nation to the will of her Heavenly
Father. Tho deceased joined the White
Oak Baptist church several years ago,
and had been a consistent member of
Moreland Baptist church for sixteen
years. We will miss her in our church
and in our missionary society, of which
she was president. How strange to us
that she, who was ever with us and
ready to help, should be taken in the
noon-day of life! The footsteps of the
Lord are deep; “He doeth all things
well.” It was in the discharge of her
church duties that her worth was
known and appreciated.
May the Lord comfort the bereaved
family, "for the Lord is nigh unto
them that are of a broken heart.” May
they so live that they may meet her
“some sweet day, ” and see her with
many stars in her crown.

Stomach Misery for Over Six Years
Think of it! After six years of sour
stomach, of gas eructation, of nervous
ness, during which time every meal lay
on his stomach like a lump of lead, a
roan was restored to perfect health by
Mi-o-na stomach tablets.
Read what Mr. Hoffman, landlord of
the Webster Hotel, writes:
“I suffered misery and intense pains
from stomach trouble for over six years,
and all the doctoring that I did or med
icines I used were of no avail until about
two years ago, when I used a treatment
of Mi-o-na. The first few days’ treat
ment helped me greatly, and upon using
it a while I was made entirely free
from any stomach trouble or complaint
whatever. Since the cure by Mi-o-na I
have regained my weight, I eat and
Bleep well, am never nervous, and mv
entire general health is much better. ’’
—Max M. Hoffman, Webster, N. Y.,
Aug. 2, 1909.

As to Being Good.
Hartford Times.
Prof. E. A. Ross has been contribut
ing his views to the question as to what
constitutes a good man. Here are some
things from his preachment:
One is not “good” because he is
strict in devout observances. When
prompted by a canny concern for one’s
salvation, church-going, Sabbath-keep
ing and fasting are no more goodness
than is careful attention to one’s fire
insurance (policies.
Nor do correct habits constitute good
ness. Abstinence from liquor or tobac
co may be no more meritorious than ab
stinence from Welsh rarebit. Never
theless, self-control is a requisite and
no one enslaved by his appetites is in
the way of virtue.
Senseless self-denial is not goodness,
The rigorist who eschews whist danc
ing and the theater may be as futile
an egoist as St. Simeon Styilites orrhis
pillar.
In a time so congenial as ours to the
family virtues, one deserves no wreath
for being "a faithful husband and
loving father. ” In the eleventh century
a man who could read and write was
“learned,” and a man who kept his
marriage vows was “good;” but not
so to-day.
Rich gifts prove nothing till we know
how the donor got the money and how
much he has. The only gift is a portion
of one’s self; and the giving of super
fluity has no moral significance. If the
size of the contribution is to measure
goodness, then the poor widow with her
two mites is contemptible!
The beginning of goodness is to stand
on one’s own feet. This requires moral
stamina now that there are so many
new ways of being a parasite.
To stand on one’s own feet is to abide
by the rules of the game. The insur
ance men who buy a block of stock with
the agreement that it is theirs if the
price goes up, but the company’s if the
price goes down; the traffic men who
withhold the facilities of a common
carrier from rival coal operators; the
candidate who nullifies his public
pledges with a secret pledge; the edi
tor who palms off paid stuff as editorial
opinion; the preacher who lays away
the sermons that might grate on the
rich pew-holder; the professor of econo
mics who shies from the "live wire” to
burrow into the archaeology of his sub
ject— these commit breach of confidence.
They are not playing the game as .it is
generally understood.
than they have been since the sixties,
and cotton will be more of a surplus
crop than it web ever before. All this
means greater prosperity on the farms.
Mr. E. A. Kelley, Belvidere, III.,
writes us: “I am an ex-engineer, with
22 years active service to my credit.
About three years ago my kidneys
were affected so that I had to give up
my engine. First I was troubled with
severe, aching pain over the hips. Then
followed inflammation of the bladder,
and specks appeared before my eyes.
A sample of Foley’s Kidney Pills that
" tried so benefited me that I bought
more. I continued to take them until
now I can safely testify they have made
me a sound and well man.” Sold by

Corn-Growing in the South.
Augusta Herald.
The indications are that this year a
bumper crop of corn will be produced
in the South. There has been an awak
ening along this line throughout the
cotton belt, and everywhere the far
mers are interested in advanced meth
ods of corn-growing and in growing
larger crops.
Last year there were a number of
corn-growing contests in various parts
of the South, and under this incentive
yields were obtained that a few years
ago would have been thought im
possible. In addition to this demonstra
tion work under the direction of ex
perts sent out by the Department of
Agriculture farmers are taught how
to obtain larger results in corn-grow
ing. The result of all this has been an
interest created in corn-growing such as
was never felt by the farmers before,
and which is leading them to pay much
more attention than formerly to corn.
A larger acreage will certainly be plant
ed, and the average yield per acre will
be largely increased.
More corn-growing contests will be
entered into this year than last, and the
methods by which such splendid results
were obtained last year will be more
generally adopted. Having learned how
to increase the fruitfulness of their
acres this course will be pursued by
farmers with enthusiasm.
To encourage them to greater corn
production is the high price of corn.
With corn readily selling at a dollar
per bushel—and the price cannot be ex
pected tp drop below this in the South—
it will pay even better to grow corn
when a yield of seventy-five or a hun
dred bushels per acre may be obtained
than it will to grow cotton, though
it were certain that the price of
the staple will remain as high as it is
now, which is by no means assured.
All these conditions will lead the far
mers to a larger corn production this
year.
And more corn will naturally lead to
raising more stock. The Southern farms
will be more self-sustaining next fall turn up. And by the same sign it is a
The Headache.
Macon Telegraph.
In a town you have heard of there is
a venerable man who tinkers around at
anything he can get to do. Sometimes
you see him toiling with a shovel, and
you can hear his old bones creak; he
does some gardening, he mixes mor
tar, he sweats around at anything that
will bring him the price of a meal. He
takes off his.hat now and then to let
the flies escape, and then the Innocent
Bystander notices that he has a re
markably fine head. It is as large as
an ordinary waste-basket, and its con
formation indicates that a good deal of
care was taken with it in the first place.
About thirty years ago that old man
was the editor of a rather important
newspaper. He was such an able wri
ter that he had admirers throughout a
wide territory, and was fast building
up a national reputation. It was free
ly predicted that he would eventually
take his place among the giants. As a
matter of fact he has taken his place
among the shovel pushers, and is mighty
glad when he earns thirty cents in a
day. He was what they used to call a
good mixer. A good mixer is a, man
who can circulate around among the
b’hoys, and keep up his end in any
booze fest. He mixed so much and
with such enthusiasm that he lost his
grip entirely, and now, in his old age,
his brain doesn’t comply with the pure
food laws, and he hasn’t intellect enough
left to do anything more difficult than
currying a horse. Have you not seen
shining examples like him?

Usefulness of any man or woman
lies principally in the willingness back
of the hands to do as well as they pos
sibly can whatever comes their way.
As a rule it will be found that the most
useless persons in ihe world are those
who are “waiting” for something to
fact that the most useful persons are
those who have taken up the first thing
that came to hand and done the best
they could with it. These people usu
ally find something to their liking in
the long run, too, and if this be denied
them they have the good sense to learn
to like what comes.

PURELY
ew’* VEGETABLE
It is a generally recognized fact, that medicines taken
from the botanical kingdom are better adapted to the
delicate human system, and safer in every way, than
those composed of strong mineral mixtures,
In the early settlement of this land, our forefathers
were obliged to procure their medicines from Nature’s
great laboratories of forest and field. They searched^out
and compounded the different vegetable materials into
teas, concoctions and medicines. That these pioneers
found tile most potent and valuable of the roots, herbs
and barks placed at their disposal, is abundantly proven
by tlie fact that the great majority of them were'blessed
with rugged health. They cured their diseases and were
enabled to do the great preliminary work of civilization
because the remedies they used were Nature's remedies,
and specially adapted to the needs of humanity.
Among the very best of these vegetable preparations is S. S. S., a medi
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and barks in such combination as to make
it the greatest of all blood purifiers and
the finest of all tonics. S. S. S. does
not contain the least particle of min
eral in any form, and is absolutely a
safe medicine for any one to use.
While purifying the blood this
great vegetable remedy builds up and
strengthens every portion of the sys
tem. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Malaria, Scrof
ula, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood
Poison, hereditary taints, and all other
diseases and disorders caused by im
pure or polluted blood.
As atonic S. SYS. is uneqalled. It
invigorates every portion of the system,
and the healthy blood it creates largely
assists in overcoming any derangement of the digestive system If you are
suffering from any blood • trouble, or need a tonic to build up your consti
tution, you could not do better than to take S. S. S., a medicine that is in
no degree harmful. Book on the blood and any medical advice free.
