The Herald and Advertiser NEWNAN, FIRDAY, NOV. 6. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR IN ADVANCH. Obituary. One of our boat citizen*, Joseph Hen ry Wise, died Thursday, Oct. IB, at hiB home near Madras, on the same place where he was l>orn 4. r . years ago, (.July 36, 1869,) having lived there all of his life. No man in the county was better known, nnd his acquaintance has been a lasting pleasure to all who knew him. Oh, that everyone could have known him! It would have been a help to any man. It is usual for some friend to write a few words in memory of a departed loved one, as in this case; but it is the greatest desire of the writer to pass a few remarks on the life, show the beautiful character of this lamented Christian man, trusting they will be an incentive for good to some who may chance to road them. Jos. H. Wise was the eldest living child of William and Elizabeth Stamps Wise. His father died when Joe was Prospects Brighter For Cotton. Atlanta C.ronrlnn, 2-Lh Intit. One of the most hopeful utterances sounded in the cotton situation since the war first paralyzed the industry was made in Atlanta Wednesday. It was that Germany and Austria are open to shipments of cotton, and with the demand of their mills, together with other activities in Kurope, prob ably more than 12,000,000 bales of cotton will bo sold out of this season’s crop, l’rices already an 1 liftinpr. "Certainly the South will not have to hold the groat amount of cotton that nt lirBt was expected," said J. S. Akers, of Inman, Akers & Inman, biggest cotton brokers in Atlanta and among the foremost in the South. "Europe is open for export, and ex cept for the mills of Northern France, most of the European mills are unim peded by the war. "Prospects are bright for resump tion of the old trade into which the South poured its crop Thus the dis tress in the cotton situation will find relief—a more satisfactory relief than that of retiring the crop, because it is the natural relief of consumption. "It will not be long before connec tion with Germuny will be established. Now that we are assured cotton will not be seized as contraband of war, quite young, which threw the responsi- iii;.’ a — . utjt uc nt'iACU on cuniri auauu xjl wui , hllities and cares of the home and fam- . .. . . ... , . . , , . uno Idm I the only question to be settled concern- dy ujion Joe s manly shou ders Every. ■ .l. V. . , . ., .. , , . ,. f ; • r ‘ veT y mg the German trade is the question of one who knew him knowH how he cared for Ilia widowed mother, his sisters, Emma and Fannie, and his brother, JBmes, who was then a child. At his mother's death, several years later, he continued tho work he so bravely and willingly shouldered, and was father, mother, and best of brothers to his loved ones. Joe wan taken sick about a year ago. He was never heard to complain, and, being ho patient and humble, he was jUHt a precious care. The devotion of his two sisters, brother and sister-in- Inw was such to (he poor, diseased brother ns one rarely sees. He appre ciated every kindness of his friends, who came and did all they could for him. His sister-in-law, Ruth, unit her children were ulwnys favorites of Joe, the youngest of which bears his name. As long ns he noticed anything he had a welcome smile for these little nephews, James and Joseph, and little niece, Elizabeth, calling thorn endear ing names. Towards the Inst., when he knew lie could not live, knowing he would soon have to go, he suid: "I de sire to live for my sisters; otherwise, | um ready to go, if God wills. I urn pre pared." Oh, that we could all feel so calm and safe! 11 is lust hope for life was for his sisters'sukes. One rarely finds a family so attached to each other as the Wise family. Left orphaned, ns they were, in childhood seemed to hind them closer. On Friduy afternoon, Oct, Hi, a sor rowing group of friends and relatives followed the remains to Jones Chapel, where funeral services were conducted by Rev. S. I). Crernean. The inter ment was in the cemetery there, near the church he loved ami served so faith fully for twenty-three years, being one of the stewards at the time of his death. Messrs. Lon Sprayherry, Geo. Smith, Hob Smith, Caleb Cook. Hinton Wilson and I)r. W. It. Edwards, six lifelong friends, were pallbearers. Rev. Mr. Crernean gave a beautiful account of his life. Lying there, among beautiful (lowers, his favorite songs beautifully rendered, among loving relatives und friends, wo passed for the last time to gaze on his holile face, so cold in death! llut, just below, on a plate of the cas ket, were the words, "At Rest,"and wo knew that while our hearts were torn to give up this beloved, pure-hearted man, he had gained his reward —was "at rest"—a companion of the great God he had loved so well. Before tak ing the remains to their last resling- nlace u large concourse of colored peo ple filed by with weeping eyes. This thoroughly attested v hat we had al ways heard of Joe—that, regardless of station, he always gave a square deal. He was never known to wrung anyone. His morals were, from boyhood, of the highest type. One of Ins physicians, who had known him long, said, "One of our best citizens has passed away. Joe Wise has left the greatest heritage a man could leave—the memory of a pure and Christian life a life of love, of kindness nnd usefulness." One Who Knew Him Well, Madras, Ga., Oct. lit, 1911. ing the tierman trade is the question German exchange, which at present is quoted at 88, when it normally should be 94. This would mean a loss of about 81 a hale in exchange alono. On the other liund, there is a premium on British exchange. This must be set tled satisfactorily, and doubtless will be. "The greatest difficulty is lack of cable communication with Germany. Once that is obtained, the situation will be made clear. Perhaps it can be arranged for German bankers to send their money to New York, where own ers of cotton can he paid and at the same time can be freed from the ex change charges. That, of course, brings up another question, for the cot ton then becomes the property of a belligerent—but it Beems that even if it is German property, it would be free from seizure by an enemy i f shipped on American vessels. "Great Hritain's mills are working; mills in Spain are working—1,000 bales went there from Atlanta last week— and now with Germany and Austria open to our trade through the declara tion that cotton is not contraband, there is every hope for reasonable disposition of the crop. Of course, not so much of it will be disposed of us in times of peace, for the war will cur tail manufactures, naturally—even our own cotton mills are so affected. Rut more will be disposed of than the South at first believed. "Already the information of cotton's immunity to seizure, has had a stimu lating effect on tho market, so that, figures have rallied one-quarter of a cent since Saturday.” It will be a question of only a (short time, Mr. Akers believes, before American ships will he dispatched to neutral ports of the North Sea laden with cotton for German mills. - ♦- -—— - Obituary. | Mrs. Ella (lavender, nee Hannon, I beloved wife of ().

He came to us like a specter out of t he crystal freshness of a perfect morn ing. His costume was comical, his hands and face smeared with coal dust A burlesque audience would have promptly accorded him a laugh, He was panhandling, clumsily. In his eyes were agony and on his lips un speakab'e grief. Some of us had known him when he moved as other men, belonging to our world, sharing our traditions, our pecu liar diversions, our affection for the work that is our own. His appearance brought a chill, a disturbing anxiety. Wlioui has destiny marked down for the next spectacular fall? we inquired each of himself. He spoke a few words about "going to the source of things." "You learn much en route,” he said. Diffidently we gave small coins to him, as though it was our shame and not his that he should beg. No one moralized. To point out ex ternal reasons is so easy and so silly One goes up, nnother down—Kismet! The rush of work closed in over the memory of his visit. Yet the stored memory, a picture in strong colors, will come up at times, and we will wonder where and how he is existing. He be longs out there in the valleys, on the docks, in evil-smelling bars, and noth ing can bring him back. Life, having twisted and battered him so cruelly, will not let go, but continues to drag him. helpless, through his private hell. ^ A farmer in a South Georgia county dropped into a local bank, his face mile long, and began to unload his troubles on the banker. "What's the matter « itli you,Smith?’ asked the banker. "Why, I've got twenty bales of cot ton and I can’t sell a bit of it. I have ! just been in Bill Tompkins' store to get I some meal. Hour, side-meat, and corn to tool my stock, and you know he wouldn’t let me have it. Saul I owed enough for ! that sort of stuff' now.” I "And he was right," retorted the i banker. "Here you claim to be a (ar mor. and yet buy meal, llour, meat, and 1 even stuff to feed your stock. You’re a h —I of a farmer. You don't deserve any sympathy." - - — ■ —- — Whenever You Need a General Tonic Take Grove’s The Old Standard Grove’s Tasteless chill Tonic is equally valuable as a General Tonic because it contains the well known tonic properties of QUININE and IKON.
