NEWNAN HERALD
NEWNAN, FRIDAY. OCT. $.
A Tribute From Mt. Gilead Sunday-
school and Raymond High School.
Words arc inadequate to express the
({loom and (trief cast over Coweta coun
ty by the tragic death of Marshall T.
Mcjjee, as he numbered his friends by
the score; therefore, lannuape cannot
express our sorrow or i;ive vent to our
Brief in partinB from him. He was a
young man of great promise. Everyone
who knew him spoke highly of him.
HiB cheerful disposition and allability
won him friends everywhere. His boy
hood friends loved him as a true com
rade and faithful friend. As a school
hoy he was faithful, obedient and stu
dious. He even won the love of the
smaller hoys by nis sympathy and pro
tection. On the playground as well as
in the school-room he made himself
loved by his fairness and good disposi
tion. Cater in life he entered Emory
College, after which he attended Young
Harris College, beihg a graduate of the
latter institution. His college record is
spotless. With his bright nature he
w.m his fellow students. He was a
hard worker, and devoted himself to
his studies. Possessing a brilliant mind,
his accumulation of knowledge was far
beyond the average. He made the best
use of the talents which God had given
him, and he prepared himself well for
the battles of life. While at Young
Harris College he at one time felt that
he was called to preach, but not being
physically strong, and fearing his
health would not admit of it, he ac
cepted a responsible position in the rail
way service in Atlanta. After render
ing service for six months he felt there
was a higher work for him to do that
of “training the young idea how to
shoot," so he began the work of teach
ing in the public schools in his home
county. Here, too, he met Buccess,
winning the love of his pupils as well
as that of his patrons. He was always
faithful as a Sunday-school worker,
and in all Christian organizations at
school. He distinguished himself as a
leader of the Epworth and Temperance
Leagues. Everyone spoke well of Mar
shall, und wished him success. As in
the early morn of his life he faced the
world, he was Bol empty-handed. An
unblemished character and a thorough
education gave him a splendid equip
ment with which to light life’s battles.
One of the undersigned committee at
tended a summer session for teachers
in June of this year, where he was in
attendance, and there was nol a more
popular or faithful teacher in attend
ance. He stood high in the eHteem of
the faculty body, and was always ready
to perform any work assigned him.
It is hard for the finite mind to com
prehend the mysteries of Providence in
plucking from fond parents, brothers,
sisters and friends a favorite one; but
it is enough to know that God doeth
all things for the best, for we know
thut all things work together for good
to them that love the Lord—to them
that are culled according to His pur-
Obituary.
"Death loves a shining mark, asigna
blow—”
Never was this beautiful expression
more true than in thedeath of ourdearly
beloved friend. Mrs. Minnie Britt. Just
in the prime of life, she was taken sud
denly from those near and dear to her.
Oh, such a shock! such a blow! Hut
God knows best.
Deceased was born in Heard county
Feb. 14, 1 -1*7. There she spent her
happy girlnuod days, with naught of
sorrow or.pain. At the early age of l!i
she sought Christ and joined Kamah
Baptist church. Not once did she fal
ter in her chosen profession of faith.
When the church bolls would ring she
was al*ayg among those to heed the
call. She was always present, until
her bodily weakness prevented. Her
whole soul and mind were always with
her Master’s work. In her calm face
and gentle manner could be seen the
stamp of the loving Gallilean — patient,
enduring all the trials and tribulations
that fell to her without murmuring or
complaining. All who came in contact
with this consecrated little woman
could say they were made to feel bet
ter, and to love their fellow-man with
more sincere love than ever before.
After seeing how patiently and cheer
fully she endured her physical suffer-
ngs, we can realize what the true
Christ spirit is.
In the home was seen her sweet
mother spirit. Here she reared her
two children, Pierce and Maud, with
that unfaltering trust. She ministered
to their every want and need with an
unselfish devotion that was beautiful to
see; and to her only siBter, Miss Sallie
Hammond, she was ever kind and true.
Just before the death summons came
she said it was all right; if death came
she was prepared; if not, she would be
glad to stay here. Just as her Saviour
would have it. She was willing to
obey. All through life she showed a
strong, unchanging love for her Master.
She iB now asleep in the arms of her
Saviour, ready and waiting for
children, sister and friends. We
say that heaven is her home now.
is free from all suffering, pain
care. The home she lived for is
hers; for God has promised to those
who love and obey Him, a home in
heaven, and to be with Jesus means
rest forever—eternal life, peace and
joy. L. W. B.

The Real Suffrage
Thought of Women
Molherhoodisthc thought uppermost in
woman’s mind. And with it, of course,
c*om<« tin* qmMlon of
comfort, of helpful
aid* unit influences.
Among the best of
thc*e Is a well known
*• xter ri .i I remedy.
“Mother** r r i c n d."
It is gently applied to
the surface muscle*.
These are lubricated,
toned, made pliable so
they stretch a« nature
require* without the
strain and pain on
curds and ligaments.
This Influence extend*
through the myriad of nerve* to deeper sur
face.-'. the internal organs. And thus a
period of repose must reflect Itself not only
Jn the mind of the mother, but upon the
babe to come.
A point upon which all experienced people
agree is the accepted fact that whatever an
expectant mother may do for herself that Is
-afe and harmless Is bound to encourage
confidence in herself. And as she applies
Mother's Friend*’ with her own hand when-
ver required and Just where needed, she
-oon learns to forget those apprehensions so
often imaginative.
Young mother* who have used “Mother'*
Friend” have written to nay how rejoiced
they were at the aliscncc of morning sickness,
extreme nervousness, and other distresses of
which they had heard and feared. Get a
tmttle of “Mother’s Friend” at any drug
-tore. Simply apply it over the stomach mus
ic* and rest asrured of perfect safety and

“A Farmer” Makes Reply.
’Farmer," in Senoia Enterprise-Gar.ette.
Recently there appeared an article in
your paper in which you lumbaated the
mail order business for all you are
worth. The space occupied by suid ar
tide would have been worth about $10
for advertising purposes. In Senoia
there are about twenty-flve business
houses, and in looking through your
paper we lind that only live of them
carry an advertisement in their home
paper soliciting our trade. It is true
thut the mail order business is growing
larger every day, due principally to ad
vertising. Will the merchants of Se
noia continue to let the editor tight for
their business line, as it were, and they
refuse to let the people know what
they have for sale? Hundreds of dol
lars leave Senoia and vicinity every
week for goods simply because people
living live miles from Senoia don’t
know whether the merchants have what
they want.
Mr. M erehant, we are in no way con
nected with the Enterprise-Gazette,
nor are. we interested in any business in
Senoia, other than a'desire to see Se-
noia prosper and grow and he one of
the best towns in Georgia, but it is up
to you to sBy whether the business of
your town and county will be done
through the mail order house; or at
home. Advertise und get your share
of the business; refuse, and watch the
mail carriers haul merchandise to the
patrons by the wugon-load.
Until this is done, Mr. Editor, you
had just as well quit your lambasting
and induce your business men to join
you in a new slogan, "Boost Senoia or
Bust."
Recommends Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy.
"Last winter 1 used a bottle of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for a
bad bronchial cough. 1 felt its bene-
tieial effect immediately and before 1
bad tinished the bottle 1 was cured. 1
never tire of recommending this remedy
to my friends.” writes Mrs William

why most tailors suffer from constipa
tion. G. W. Roberson, Wichita Falls,

cathartic 1 have ever taken. They are
just the thing. ” They keep the stom

without gripe or pain. Stout people
praise them for the light, free feeling

A Tribute.
We, the undersigned committee from
Mt. Gilead church and community, were
appointed on Sept. 19, 1916, to draw up
resolutions on the life and character of
Marshall T. Megee, who was foully
murdered Sept. 1-2, 1915, at Columbus,
Ga.
Marshall wa9 born in our community
nearly 21 years ago, and. spent the
most of his life among us. Being in
school with our children and in our
homo from time to time, some of us
knew him almost as well as our own.
We knew him to be a sturdy, studious
and industrious boy. He united with
Mt. Gilead church during the protracted
services in August, 1995. under the
ministry of Rev. M. M. Walraven, and
was ever true to its interest and zeal
ous for its causes. He loved the church,
und this year, while away teaching,
mude it convenient to time his visits
home on the lirst Sunday in each month,
that being regular preaching day at
Mt. Gilead, so he could attend and wor
ship with hio family and friends.
We do not present him as faultless;
few, if any, are;- -but the tixed prin
ciple of soul, with its consequent out
t! >w of words and deeds, is the real
cnaracter, and his seemed to siy:
"Every life that touches mine riceiv
therefrom some good, some little
word, some kindly deed, to tnak? this
life worth while.”
Marshall was remarkable for his
m iny strong traits of character.
His frankness and openness were re
freshing. What he seemed to be, that
he was. He never spoke a word or did
a deed for effect. His sense of honor,
the “Golden Rule,” was the law of his
life; —true to friends, charitable to all,
kind and affectionate to his family.
Many other good things might be said
of this noble young man.
His remains were laid to rest ’neath
the swaying oaks of Mt. Gilead ceme
tery.
In conclusion, will say to the beraved
ones, “Look to Jesus for comfort and
consolation. May his sweet presence
be ever with you ail.” Truly we can
say, "Earth hath no sorrow that hea
ven cannot heal. ’ ’
Resolved. That a copy of this me
morial be furnished his bereaved pa
rents; also to The Newnan Herald and
Columbus papers for publication.

Believes Slaton Cannot Safely Re
turn to Georgia.
Gadsden, Ala., Sept. 24 —An Atlanta
traveling salesman, who has ’been all
over Georgia within the last six weeks,
said to day that if former Gov. Slaton
returns to that State and attempts to
make it his home again, he will be in
great danger. He said the people have
not forgotten the Frank case and the
part the Governor played in it.
"Nine out of ten men believe the
Governor did wrong in commuting the
sentence of Frank, and they are hold
ing him directly responsible for the
Frank lynching. If the former Gover
nor had permitted the law made by the
people of Georgia to take its course
there would have been no mob,” he
said.
The traveling man stated that in
conversation with the publisher of one
of Georgia’s most influential newspa
per, the publisher told him that he did
not consider it safe for the former
Governor to return to the State, and
added that “if he does, 1 believe they
are going to get him ”
They Let Him
Sleep Soundly
“Since* taking Koley Kidney rills
1 believe I am entirely cured ami I

Gainesville, Ga., 1L U. No. 3. Mr.

I've been unable to sleep all night
without getting up. Sometimes only a
few minutes after going to hod I'd
have to g«*t up, and 1 tried everything
