'. SAM T. HURST, Ordinary. 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. Henderson Baptist Church. ' Jan. 14,1900. 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.

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 at Holfzclaw’s drag store. 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.
