Let us Have a Sober Christ
mas.
It is bad to Ret drunk at any
time—especially at Christmas. If
we do, we miss all the good and
are apt to do harm and to be
harmed.
Let every young man resolve to
touch not a drop of whiskey, it
matters not who may ask him to
drink. Let every man who has
fallen into the unfortunate Intuit of
being overcome by liquor, resolve
to keep sober this Christmas. Let
those who do not get drunk, re
solve to have no eggnogs nor
whiskey stews. Possibly no
drunks will be hatched out of these
eggs, but by them you may help
to ruin your precious boy.
Let young ladies never, never
ask a young man to drink wine
nor strong drink from a punch
bowl. If we all thus resolve find
act we will have a good, sober
Christmas.
With hearty earnestness, I wish

Martindalo. Dr. Nunually delivered a
sympathetic aud beautiful tribute to tho
life and ohnruoter of the deceased speak
ing of his faitbfuluess as a public offi
cial, of his uprightness in all the rela
tions of life, and of his spleudid wortli
as a Christian oitizen.
Mr. Milner was a beloved member of
the Odd Fellows, and a large company
of his brethren followed his remaioB to
the tomb, acting as pallbearers, aud con
cluding the fuueral services at the grave
with the ceremonies of the order.
Mr. Milner was just concluding his
sixth term as postmaster in Newnan;
having held the office under every re
publican administration since 1872.
Hin official conduct wus above re
proach ; and his service of 24 years us
j postmaster was a reoord of faithful per
formance of official duties and of courte
ous attention to the patrons of his office.
He wns a man of genial and sympa
thetic nature, of quiok perceptions and
business tact. He gave strict attention
to every detail of his oflioe and display
ed great energy in conducting its affairs.
He had been in tho office long, loved the
work and was proud of his clean reoord
of official conduct.
As a Christian citizen Mr. Milner en
joyed the confidence of every acquaint
ance. lie evidenced his roligious faith
in all the relations of life; undoes con
stant ill hig efforts to follow the example
of the Master he loved and trusted.
Politically, Mr. Milner differed with a
vast majority of his fellow oitizeus; bnt
he made no obnoxious parade of his
political views; and holding honestly to
what lie helieAod were right principles
and policies of government, no Demo
crat who knew him ever esteemed him
less or reposed in him a smaller measure
of confidence because he wns a Republi

The seven wonders of the world
were the Egyptian Pyramids, the
Mausoleum erected by Artemesia,
the Temple of Diana at Ephesus,
the walls aud hanging gardens of
Babylon, the Colossus at Rhodes,
the statue of Jupiter Olympius and
the Pharos or watehtower ol'
Alexandria. A far greater wonder
than all these ancient wonders, is
the legalized sale of intoxicating
liquors by a civilized and Christian
people.
