CONTEMPLATION
'l lu* Now year’s beautiful sunshine
day, with gladsome joy we prize it,
As we rend of Blizzards in the
north and scarcely reniizo it.
\\ e seem Supremely blessed, you
, know in Health and weather too
W hile around sad hearts.abound in
the clutch of the dreadful Flu.
j —o—
W e read of many disasters of
I storms on land and sea
Makes a sorrowful beginning of
Nineteen twenty three.
So let us be wakeful ami watchful
for whatever things abide us
And cling to the arm that shields,
and the unseen Hand that guides
us.
When the holidays ace. over on the
first day of the year.
We salute our friends and neigh
bors and wish them happy New
Year;
Now it may be superstition and the
saying may be stale,
lint the Visitor lirst, to bring good
luck should always be a Male.
—O’—-
So with a patriotic turn of mind
and to observe I lie Golden Rule
I made the rounds of New Years
Calls in the morning fair and cool;
I bade them Happy New Year in a
curtailed, friendly chat
And hoped they’d all reciprocate
and do it just for that.
And now the week is almost gone,
but with a conscious air of sat
isfaction of the deed and “what do
you think of that.”
For not a Doggone one id' them as
they used to do before
Has made a stride I’m satistled, to
even darken our door.
Hut. I 'spose they’ve got a reason
though it lie bill t hus and I tins,
it might have been good lurk to
them, but darn poor luck to us.
So wlum the Spirit, moves them to
act whenever they do,
I’m sure they’ll have good reasons
though they blame it-on the Flu
—o —
So superstition is nothing and Good
Luck is nothing too
For you can’t depend on either when
a fellow lias got the tlu.
But Bad Luck is reality and you
will Hud it true
If you do a friend a kindness, gosh,
its wusser Ilian the Flu.
For I don’t want no neither for
botli am black and blue,
When either one gets afoul of you,
von shore am got the tlu.
But friendship’s indispensable and
Companinship is sweet
For when in need a friend indeed,
is mighty hard to beat..
—O—-
Bui the world is cold and heartless,
Old Compassion lias hud liis day
When calls for help are responded
to, it’s how much does it pay.
For many a Priest and Levile is
constant on the scene
But the ancient good Samaritans
are few and far between.
Benevolence and charily is lauglil
from sea to sea
But, to go and do thou likewise who
answers “Lord send me ”
And when the day of Judgment,
comes at the (Inal setting sun
Twill not be good intentions then
but deeds (hats faithful done.
I.a Fayette, Ga. YV. It. CRAIG.
A MEMORIAL
It was written liy one of old “How
beautiful are the feet of them that
preach the gospel of peace, and
bring glad tidings of good things.”
If this be true and we tnow that it
is—the footsteps of Mrs. John David
Veatch were indeed beautiful. For
her life was a sermon. Stie abhorred
sin and waywardness of the worldly
and seldom did she come in con
tact with anyone, without speaking
of the Christian religion, the church
and the obligation of Christians.
But on the seventh of May 1922,
the grim reaper came and removed
from Die home this useful woman
and so ended a beautiful life, but
its influence will live on and on.
Many a person has been influenced
by her life, and devotion to her
Christ; her mission on earth was
a service of devotion that “Tomor
row might be better than today” and
her reward, we are sure lias been
found in the words “Well done,
thou good and faithful servant."
As long as Sister Veatch was able
she was a regular attendant at the
services of Waterville Baptist
church of which she was a member
about fifty six years. Our church
lias sustained a real loss for we
miss Die leadership of these saints
us they are removed from our
midst.
Born before the Civil War, Sister
Veatch grew up in a day when ad
vantages for Die young were rnea
ti'v enough at best. Her mother be
ing left a widow with a large fami
ly could not give her children the
advantages, m Die reconstruction
days following Die war, Dial. I hey
might have hade in a later period,
yei Mrs Veatch made the most of
her opportunities and was well-in
formed on all topics of Die day ,and
a very interesting woman ofm
with whom to talk was both ele
vating and instructive. Her energy
and -trong will power were marve
lous and kept her at her duties in
the home until a few days before
tier passinc away.
Our sympathy goes out to the
bereaved husband and ' ight child
ren. To all of these we would point
to tier life a» r.n example.
"Beyond Die waking and the sleep
ing.
Beyond the smiling and Do* weeping
We shall see her again.”

Hill church, in the presence of a
large concourso of sorrowing rela
tives and friends. Her remains were
tenderly laid In rest in the Chap
man graveyard. The many beauti
ful floral offerings attested to the
esteem and popularity of this tru
ly good woman.
Mrs Chapman was before her
marriage, Miss Georgia Harris. She
was horn Oct. 23, 1854 and was mar
ried Dec 8, 1875, to J A Chapman
To Ibis happy union were born 12
children, six having preceded her
jo the home above She united with
the Baptist church at, Shiloh in
1878. ,
For many years Mrs Chapman was
weak and frail in body, bulkier
mind was ever strong and bright.
Her disposition was always sweet
an 1 cheerful; she never spoke evil
of anyone. To know her was to love
her. She was devoted to her hus
band and children.

has left you, remember life is brief,

perience.
Let O F Parker, 10 Magnolia St.,
tell it. Ho says: “1 use Doan’s Kid
ney Pills whenever my kidneys and
back feel a little out of order and
my kidneys art too freely. I think
this trouble comes from my hcig
exposed to all kinds of weather. A
few Doan’s always bring the de
sired results when I am bothered in
Ibis way.”

simply ask for a kidney remedy
