The hoar is late, bat Jesas and
His disciples still linger abont the

wonder there are sad hearts as Je
sns tells them of His departure!
No wonder there is shrinking from
the thought of separation from
this Friend who has been their

three years! How He yearns to

must leave to fight life’s battles,

He knows their weakness and
needs, and in this hoar of sorrow
Heptomises a Comforter.
They still cling to His bodily
presence, but He says, “IE is expe

if I go not away, the Comforter
will not come unto you .. . When
He, the Spirit of Truth, is come,

Small Things Coant Big.
Ehclrsnge-
Men who would never think of
allowing a note or a large account
to stand open are too frequently
careless in regard to small ac
counts. After all, say3 a writer in
one of the trade journals, we are
judged by small things, and what
good is it if a man meets his bank
obligations promptly, and then
causes a number of people to whom
he owes petty accounts to go
about talking of how hard it is to
Judge Fort For Congress.
Macon News, April IX
Judge Allen Fort will be a can
didate for Congressman in the 3rd
district next year, and will op
pose Hon. E.B. Lewis, who at pres
ent bolds the place.
This information was secured
yesterday afternoon by a News re
porter, and can be regarded as au
thority. It will be remembered
that in 1896 Judge Fort was de
feated for the place by only a few
votes, and then he only entered the

An Essay on the Editor.

abode with him .. . Peace I leave
with yon, My peace 1 give onto
you: not as the world giyeth, give
I unto you. Let not your heart be
troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Let us consider a few things
that the Comforter does for those
who receive Him: He saves sin
ners by turning their hearts to
wards Jesus. “And when He is
come, He will reprove the world of
sin.” The Holy Spirit is the Christ
ian’s life: for He lives in their
hearts. “He abideth with yon and
shall be in you.” The Holy Spir
it makes the believer joyful and
sincere, free from fear and doubt.
“Where the Spirit of the Lord
is, there is liberty.” He is the
Helper, and sends U3 forth to help
others. “Sent forth by the Holy
Spirit.”
Do we realize that the Holy Spir
it is in the world today, and that
only through His power we are
brought to feel the need of a Sa
viour? Do we feel that withont
His presence in our hearts we can
have no power, no true life ? Are
we living np ter this privilege br
easting every fear and donbt upon
Him, and rejoicing in the freedom
that He gives?
If the Comforter has helped and
cheered ns are we obeying His
command by going forth to help
and comfort others? May His
gentleness, symbolized by the de-
cending dove: His holy zeal, sym
bolized in the tongues of fire: His
unseen power, symbolized in the
wind: be with us forever as a .liv
ing force in our lives. M.ffy‘ the
enduring “love, joy, peace, long-
suffering, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, meekness, temper
ance,” the fruits of the Spirit,
abound in our lives, as proof of the
indwelling presence of the prom
ised Comforter!
May we all be found “Walking
la the fear of the Lord, and in the
comfort of the Holy Ghost.”. ,May
“the God of hope fill us with all
joy and peace in Believing, that we
may abound in hope, through the
power of the Holy Ghost.”

get him to bay np. Be as partic- race a few weeks before the pri-
’ mary came off.
For some time past it has been
thought by numerous friends nf
The Judge that he woald not ran
far the place, but it is understood
that he will enter the race and
stay in it to the end. Judge Fort
is one of the most prominent law
yers in the state. He is well known
to the people of Georgia and is
highly regarded by all who know
him.
One of the judgpa’ closest friends
was seen yesterday afternoon, and
when questioned about the possi
ble candidacy ot Judge Fort said:
“I was with him only a few
hours ago, and he told me positive
ly that he would run. He has been
waiting for things to coo! down a
little before taking np politics
again, but he is going in the race
this time to win. He was badly
handicapped in the Iasi election,
as he did not enter until it was near
ly over, but then he showed great
strength as he was only beaten by
a few Votes.
I think the judge’s chances are
excellent, and see no reason why
he should not win out. He is the
most popular man id his district to
day, and this fact will be proven
^hen-the ballots are counted in the
next election.
“I know that the report-has been
circulated that tlie Judge will not
ran, but I know better. He has
stated to me that He would be a
candidate and I know what I am
talking about”
The above interview is from a
man who knows all about the com
ing campaign, and it seems that
the candidacy of Judge Fort is now
a settled fact. Since this is known
it wilt no doubt cause a great deal
of talk. It is known that the
friends of Congressman Lewis
have coanted on no opposition at
the next election, bat judging
from the above talk, it seems that
there will be and Mr. Lewis will
have one of the strongest men in
district to oppose him.
Judge Fort has numerous friends
throughout the state who will be
pleased to know that he is to enter
the race for Congress, and who
will give him all the assistance pos
sible in the coming campaign.

The island of Ferro is one of the
largest in the Canary group, and
it has-received its name on account
of its iron-bound soil, throagh
which no river or stream flows. In
the midst of the island there grows
a tree known as the raining tree,
the leaves of which are long and
narrow. It continues a constant
verdure winter and summer, and
the branches are covered with a
cloud which is never dispelled, but
resolving itself into a moisture,
causes to fall from its leaves a very
clear water in such abundance that
eisterns placed at its foot to receive
it are never empty.—Ladies Home

A gentleman in Dooly eoBnty

ground mole—pests to the farmers
-can be exterminated^. feed
er in qnestion kod-A'number of post
holes dog, and as they had remain
ed some time before they were fill
ed with the posts, he was looking
into them and discovered many
contained moles, some dead, others
alive. This gave iym an idea. So
cow he says the very best and
cheapest way of exterminating the
ground moles is to first find the di
rection of their run, then dig a hole
2 or 2J feet deep _and the little
pests will imprison themselves.—
