In Jlemoriam.
-Written for tha Home Journal.
In writing of our beloved Pastor,
Dr. B. F. Tharpe.
We as a church come with bleed
ing hearts to offer onr last tribute
of love and respect in memory of
onr much beloved pastor, Dr. B. F.
Tharpe, whom God in His infinite
wisdom saw proper to take from us
on December 20th, 1899.
We are a3 sheep without a shep
herd, as Bro. Tharpe has been onr
Pastor tor the last 26 years.
We loved him like a Father.
Ha having baptized and received,
with the exception of one, the en
tire membership of our church.
We feel that our loss is irrepa-
ble, though we are sure that our
loss is bis eternal gain.
We feel that he is now with his
God in Heaven, whom he so mnch
loved to serve on this earth—re
ceiving his reward.
He was a noble Christian, loving
and faithful pastor, always rejoic
ing with those who rejoiced, and
sorrowing with those who sorrow
ed.
He was pot loved by his ehurch
alone, but by all who knew him.
May we try to emulate the example
he set before ns, that we too may
gather with him at the Beantifu!
River.
Be it therfore resolved
1st. That while weare over whelm
ed with sorrow, we bow in humble
submission to the will of the Mas
ter. Knowing that He erreth not
in the disposition of His provi
dence, aud while with sorrowing
hearts we are mourning the loss of
onr beloved pastor, his emancipa
ted spirit freed from sin and sor
row is basking in the light and
love of an eternal andloviDg Fath
er.
He has fought the good fight,
and won a glorious crown.
We can imagine the glad an
thems of welcome and the joyful
greeting of loved ones gone before.
2nd. That wetbe members of the
Henderson church find words in
adequate to express the deep sor
row and loss we sustain in his death.
3rd. That we extend to his family
our deep sympathy in their great
bereavement Earnestly praying
that we may some day with them
beepermftted‘ fa-sing with onr dear
PaBtor “The Melodious,Songs of
the Blest.”
4th. That a copy of these resolu
tions be sent to his family, and a
copy be spread on the minutes of
the church book, and a copy be
sent to the Home Journal for pub
lication.

The Presidents said to be book
ed for a tour across the continent
next October. By chance, of course,
the election will occur Dext Novem
ber, a month atfer the tour. The
desire of the people to hear their
chief executive will, of course ne
cessitate some car-end speeches,
and a little whooping-op of the
greatness of the administivition.
And when San Francisco is reach
ed there will be the launching of
the battle ship' Ohio, and other
speeches on the .card. But these
things are merely accidental occur
rences to be snre. The President
wouldn’t think of electioneering!

Texas Farm and Ranch.
There are_men who can conduct
business ' profitably on borrowed
capital, but even in this case it is
more profitable ’to lend than to
borrow. Bufcfa large majority of
bnsiness men fail, swallowed up in
the vortex of interest. ^Farmers,
as a rale, ^should never ,borrow
money to ran their bnsiness, for in
straight agricnltnral operations in
terest is greater than the profits.
When the farmer thinks he has a
scheme whereby he can wia on
borrowed capital, he becomes a
speculator, and may fail or succeed,
just as other speculators do; but
so far as he is a speculator he is
not a farmer. Money lenders are
crying’ aloud for facilities by means
of which farmers can borrow mon
ey by simply mortgaging their
homes and personal property. We
have known large sections where
just such facilities were afforded,
and farmers bit at the bait like
hungry fish, and continued to pay
interest as long as they lived, and
then the lenders foreclosed and
took the farms. Who owns the
large sngar farms in southern Lou
isiana? Are they not the money
lenders of years ago? One recent
!y died who had taken in by fore
closure farms covering more than
100,000 acres, bat the farmers who
formerly peopled ’that section—
where are they? We believe that
the worst that conld befall the
farmers generally would be easy
facilities for. borrowing money.
The farmer should never borrow
unless compelled by circumstances
beyond his control, or when he has
decided to embark in specula
tion. Not one farmer in ten can
earn enough to live on, snpport a
family, pay interest and ultimately
extinguish the principal. So we
say to farmers, baware of the mon
ey-lenders,for it is easier to escape
from the bag of a grizzly bear than
one of them; and pray to be deliv
ered from temptation.
Young Mr. Hay, son of our Sec
retary of State, who has been ap
pointed to the consulate at Preto
ria, South African Republic, is to
specd some time in London, hob
nobbing with the high officials and
great people of Great Britain. It
is suggested that President Kroger
will refuse to receive him, on ac
count of this stay and associations
in England. His associations, ac
cording to the probabieBoer view,
will incapacitate him for taking a
purely unprejudiced view of affairs
in South Africa.
Boer Strength.
Old People Made Young,
J. 0- Sherman, the veteran edit
or of the Vermonlville (Mich.)
Echo, has discovered the remarka
ble secret of keeping old people
young. - For years he has avoided
Nervoasness, Sleelessness, Indi
gestion, Heart trouble, Constipa
tion and Rheumatism, by using
Electric Bitters, and he writes: “It
can’t be praised too highly. It
gently stimulates the kidneys, tones
the stomach,' aids indigestion, and
gives a splendid appetite. It has
worked wonders for my wife and
me. It's a remarkable remedy for
old people’s complaints.” Only 50c

Macon Telegreph.
Boar strength is not measured
merely by Boer bravery and deter
mination. Fourteen years ago, be
fore gold was discovered, the Trans
vaal republic had a revenue
$1,092,500 and expenditures
$973,000. Four years ago its reve
nue was $21,790,000 and expend!
ture3 $20,625,000. Salaries alone
amounted to $6,000,000. In 1886
they were but $259,000. Military
expenses, which were but nominal
in 1894, bounded in 1897 to
$5,000,000. In the Orange Free
State, with a population 'of only
80,000, the revenue' rose from
$1,300,000 in 1895 to $4,500,000 in
1898. Although Norway has four
teen times as many inhabitants, its
revenue is less than that of the
Transvaal, and it is said that some
of the government officials in the
latter country are paid higher sal
aries than are allowed our cabinet
officers.
The Boers are. now in possession
of the richest gold and diamond
mines in existence. They can
therefore offer rewards that the
adventurous mercenaries from the
various countries of the world will
duly appreciate. The Boers will
not need to depend for foreign re
cruits merely npon those who hate
England and Englishman. Their
only problem is to transport these
mercenaries to the scene of war in
spite of the British fleet watching
the coast and the obstacles pre
sented by the nentral territory
that must be crossed. But we are
assured that recruits have already
been smuggled in, and what has
been done once will be done again
Under these circumstances, even
if the British were more success
ful than they are, the prospects of
an early conclusion of th9 war
would not be bright.
Joseph Jenson, a clockmaker of
Richfield, Utah, has just complet
ed a wonderful clock, which, in ad
dition to striking the hoars, halves
and quarters and showing the
phases of the moon, tells jast what
time it is in every city in the world,
This is done by means of a globe
which revolves inside a transpa
rent globular glass. On this glass
is marked a line which represents
12 o’clock noon. As the globe re
volves this line is always over that
part of the world in which it is
noon at that time. Other lines
represent the hoars, and in this
way it is easy to get the exact time
in any given place.
In view of Great Britain’s pres
ent embarrassing sitnation, it is not
surprising to hear that Russia has
“reviewed” her claims to certain
Chinese lauds, has through her
consul at Hankow announced her
intention to take “forcible posses
sion,” and in consequence “the re
lations between the British and
Russian residents are strained to
the breaking point.” The lion is
in trouble and the bear grows bold.
