OBITUARY.
It. is sad for mo to write n sliotiili of
tho life of Mrs. Judson Harris, wo wore
such good friends. I laid known iier
from our girlhood. During tho Civil
War we mot. unit visited n little, At
that tlmo Mr. Jus. Dodds, lior futlior,
lived in Newium. She was born thuro
Aug. 20, I860, grew up there, and grad
uated at College Temple. After hor lour-
riugo in tho early 70's we drifted apart,
and t saw no more of hor until we moved
to Turin in December, 1885. Thou she
boe.amo my non rest' neighbor, and we. ro-
itiumed congenial frionds until her death,
whloh occurred Aug. 1, 11)21. Wo visit-
oil and woro associated together in ninny
ways for nearly 36 ycarB, with nuvor
an unkind word spoken between us, nor
disturbance of any kind in our dealings.
1 folt that I knew hor perfectly, and sup-
linso she felt tho same way toward mo.
Wo visited often ns long ns silo and 1
were able to walk back and forth, and
this pleasant intercourse continued even
nftot having to bo curried. Sho fre
quently enmo down the street and would
stop at my window, and we would chat
awliilo. Then t would persuado her to
come in nnd spend the time with mo.
To say tllo least of it., we woro so close
ly connVictod in many waVs tlint the whole
family seems very near to mo. I could
write much of our mutual pleasures if
space would permit.
She was one of tho charter members
of iny Bible class, which' was organised
Aug. 24, 1011. Sho was a good reader,
and rear! hor Biblu constantly. We car
ried on Bible study on Thursday of
eoeli wook for seven years. Thou wo
hold up for awliilo and worked for tho
lied Gross, and sho was a faithful work
er thoro. After tho war closed we came
together again ns a Bible class nrtd wont
on till Christmas. She nnd I spoke of
beginning again this year, but her health
was not good. Sho enmo down and asked
>ne to look in tho Biblo and sco if she
■ could repeat the 14th chapter of St.
John. I did so, nnd she repented it
from beginning to ond. I think it won
derful for hor to have memorized so long
n chapter at her ago, She told mo sho
had read the Bible through aovcrnl times,
besides doing other religious reading.
Mrs. Harris was always thankful for
any favor or kindness shown hor by
frionds. With hor, appreciation nnd
gratitudo were linked together, and
should bo received ns a token of love.
Sho spoke sweetly of hor boys still at
homo with hor, and said ns long as they
loinnliind sho rvoulik not break up nnd
leave them.
Sho joined the Baptist church beforo
her marriage. Later in lifo sho joined
tho Presbyterian church with hor hus
band. Sho was cheerful, nnd hor face
bospoko happinosB. For some ..tlmo be
fore hor departure she was unnblo lo
got out to ckurch often. Sho was hap
pily disposed, religiously inclined, cheer
ful in disposition, mid kind-hearted. As
a Christian she was humble, as a wife
devoted, ns a mother affectionate, ns a
neighbor considerate nnd generous. Na
turally of a bright disposition, she made
hor homo a place where her frionds
found it n pleasure to visit. Those who
know her longest nhd beat esteemed hor
highest.
A devoted husband, six sorrowing chil
dren nnd a host of frionds mourn her
departure. There is n silence in tho homo
which they know nothing of'before. Her
daughter said to mo, “Wo didn’t l-enl-
iro mamma was growing old, ’ ’ Sho was
so cheerful nhd the years passed over
her so gently, they couldn't realize her
ago, but her mind was not Impaired by
1 iiiia i - her heart never grow old. Wo
console ourselves with the thought tlint
“The Lord doeth all things well.”
The large eoiieourso of frionds who
came from far nnd near to show their
affection mill sympathy, testitiinl to the
esteem in which she was held by those
who knew her. But unto nil our hearts
there must oomo ■some dark nud sorrow- ‘
ful days. 1 am thankful she was spared
to her family- so long.
“All have somo sorrow, somo grief
to bear.
Knrtb hath no eup of joy uuiui.xtd
with care.” A. P. 0.

OBITUARY. "
The Lord, in His wisdom, has seen
lit to tako from us our dear rolatlvo
anil frlond, Uncle Loandor R. Banks. Ho
was borii May 8, 1842, and his spirit, took
its flight Sept. 8, 1921. Ho was mar
ried to Miss Frances M. Cnrinical in
March, 18(10, and they lived happily to
gether until her dentil. Four children
wore born to this union, of whom tho
eldest, a noble son, preceded him to
tho grave 12 years ago. Ho served four
years in the Civil War, olid it 1ms been
said of him that a truor or bravor soldier
never lived. Ho was a faithful member
of tho Methodist church until death
claimed him. He served one term as
Tax Collector of Coweta county, and n
more honest or faithful offielnl the county
never honored. During his incumbency
in his office ho often paid some poor
mini’s or poor widow’s taxos out of his
own poeket. He was n public-spirited
citizen, ami always glad to help In any
movement tlint had for its object tho up
building of his county—especially along
religious and educational’ lines.
He wna-n devoted husband, n kind and
affeetioimte father, and a friend to all.
Lot us not think of him us being gone
from us, but only waiting on tlio utlior
shore. We should strive daily to emu
late his cheerful, honest, Christian lifo,
and bo prepared to join him where ho
is in communion with our Heavenly Fa
ther “over there.” Fannie Sue Doiicgiin

WHfiN WILL HARD TIMES LET UP?
Coffee County Progress.
This quostlou Is on the, henrts and
inlmis of the people of every section.
It Is the all-absorbing topic hero and
everywhere. Everyone wants to know
When business will pick up again.
Business Is not going to pick up un
til we get nur debts paid. 1 When you
pny your debts, nnd your neighbor pays
bis debts, kaiul Ills neighbors ‘ pny tlioir
debts, then nnd not until then will con
ditions bo righted.
The only effective Way ,to put new Jife
into business today, and keep it there,
is for us nil to pny our debts. If you
owe a debt now Hint Ims been Imaging
over, nnd you have ti dnllnr to place
ngniust it, put it there. If you cannot
pay nil, pny what you can. Money thus
put to moving gets Into business chan
nels, iinil sdon tho wlinlo community feels
it. Hard times will end the’ day our
debts nrc paid—or such portions of them
ns can bo paid.
Open nueounts of long standing nrc
n drag on lids or any other community.
We know what wo are talking about.
If you pny up, nnd all of iib pay up,
it will enable those wo pay to pny lip.
Monoy thus paid starts on tho rounds,
paying bills, nnd winds up by coming
back to where It started.
There is ns much monoy in the coun
try us ever. It hnsn’t boon destroyed.
It needs circulating, that’s nil. If this
campaign of paying what you can if
yon can’t pny all Is started, It will be
surprising how many debts can bo liqui
dated without, anyone suffering. How-
evor, ovoryone must, pay as far as he
can to accomplish the results desired.
There is hardly anyone who owes more
than is owed to them. Suppose that
everyone could collect nil that is duo
them? They could then turn around and
pny all they owe—they would bo loft
with go ovorhnnglng, embarrassing obli
gations, ond everybody would bo bene-
5 tod.
WHAT IS A SMILE WORTH?
Grnud Rapids Herald.
Little Jimmy Godfrey, aged 13, cllmb-
od a tree—out in Kansas City—to gather
walnuts. He came in contact with an
electric wire. One side of his face was
burned, leaving an ugly scar. A damage
suit against tho power and light com-
puny was instituted on Jimmy’s behalf.
On the witness stnud Jimmy was asked
to try to smile. Tho only result was a
puckering of tho lips and a melancholy
drawing of tho fnco. A physician testi
fied that the smile muscle in his check
had boon bound by tho scarred tissue
above. Tho jury promptly roturnod a
vordict giving Jimmy $20,000. That be
comes .tho officially fixed vnlue of a
smilo.
Moral: If n smilo is worth $20,000
wlion you loso it, It is worth $20;000
when you uhu it. The world Is full of
Jimmy Godfreys—some of 'em little
chaps like him—some of ’em big, grown
up folks. Some of ’em are‘like J immy
1h now—“smile muscle’.’ gono—instend,
a deep, dark, forbidding frown that
miikbs tho world a little darker nnd a
little gloomlor for nil who come in eon-
tnot with thorn.
They paid Jimmy $20,000 to compen
sate him for his loss. His loss! Do
you get that? In other words, impor
tant ns Jimmy’s smile wus to others, it
was most important of all to him.
A nr tinniest clergyman one Sunday
morning was exhorting those who hud
anxious nnd troubled consciences to call
on their pastor for guidance and prayer.
“To show you tho blessed results of
these visits with your pastor,” said ho,
“1 will s'.ute Hint only yesterday n gon-
tlomnn of wealth called upon me for
counsel and instructionnnd now today
my friend—today 1m sits among ns, :itit
only a Christian, but a happy husband
nnd father.”,
A young Indy in the audience wills-
pored to a matron: “Wasn’t that
rather quick work!”

Miss Alda Sewell, of Mnm-hester, is

Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Sewell, of Ho-

A largo number of fine porkers have
boon slaughtered since the cold weather
set In, Almost everyone in this part of
tho county 1ms plenty of food nnd feed
stuff for home consumption. That’s
something to be thankful for.
Ono of our renders asks why, if an
editor thinks so highly of chances on
tho farm, he does not quit his present
job and become a farmer. The answer
to Hint is simple, namely: Ho has
trained himself to something else and
probably could not succeed in ngrieul-
turo; it is too late to begin. Nor is it
likely that a middle-aged farmer, who
has been farming all his working life,
could go to tho city and obtain per
manent employment as au editor, easy
nnd woll paid as the' editor's work may
seem to him; it is too late in his ease
also. We see no way of adjusting the
situation to the satisfaction of all, and
wo suppose nearly everybody will go on
to the end of the chapter, thinking he
1b gotting the worst of it. But human
nature has endowed a lot of us with the
belief that we could do better if we
were in the other follow's place. And
wo suppose we ’ll never learn the differ
ence,—Telfair Enterprise.
