In Memoriam. Mossy Hill Notes. glory, admit On the night of April 16th, 1901, j by socks. an angel came to visit the happy i ^ me Is here in all its home circle of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. j an ^ the door stands ajar to Uherry and took from them darling j an y num ber of visitors in the shape K+tia UTiltrn n.ocpr? iVirAo roa™ oot>_ j of full-grown mosquitoes who are anxious to renew their cousinship. Things are getting O. K on the little Miltcn, aged three years, say ing in tenderest, sweetest accents, Come home. Then the angel touch ed his eyelids with balm and his lit tle life stood still. Weep not, dear loved ones, for the little darling has gone to the Beautiful City whose Maker and Builder is God. A shad ow of sorrow and gloom lies deeply on our hearts. Through all pain at times he smiled, A smile of Heavenly bir uh: And when the anger called him home, He smiled farewell to earth. Heaven retaineth now our treasure, Earth the lonely casket keeps; And the sunbeams love to linger Where the little darling sleeps. He was indeed a bright child,loved by all who knew him. With all the tender solicitude of parental love, the devoted father and mother stood faithfully by his little bedside unto the last. Mingling our tears with those of the dear parents and friends in their loss, we join them in the hope of a happy reunion with him' who has gone before. There was an angel band in Heaven That was not quite complete, So God took darling little Milton To fill the vacant seat. A Friend. L\ WORTHY SUCCESSOR. “Something New Under fhe Sun.” All doctors have triad to cure Catarrh by the use of powders, acid gases, inhal ers and drugs in paste form. Their pow ders dry np the mneous membranes, causing them to crack open and bleed. The powerful ac ds used in the inhalers have entirely eaten away the same mem branes that their makers have aimed to cure, while the pastes and ointments can not reach the disease. An old and expe rienced practitioner who has for many years made a close study and specialty of the treatment of Catabbh, has at last perfected a|treatment which, when faith fully used, not only relieves once, but permanently cures Catabbh, by remov ing the cause, stopping the discharges and curing all inflammatiou. It is the only remedy known to science that ac tually reaches the afflicted parts. This wonderful remedy is known as “Snuf fles the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure” and is sold at the extremely low price of One Dollar, each package containing in ternal and external medicine sufficient for a full month’s treatment and every thing necessary to its perfect use. “Snuffles’ 5 is the only perfect Ca tabbh Cube ever made and is now rec ognized as the only safe and positive cure for that annoying and disgusting disease.

Hill, for our prayers have been an swered and the winter clothes, by some plying of needles and darning thread, have made connection with summer. Our woods have been so beautiful with their trimmings of wild flow ers and the sun so warm and balmy, that Mrs. Stocking and the little Socks and Stockings who won’t go to school enjoyed their first picnic of the season last week at the old Indian cave, out in the middle of the plantation. The grounds around the cave are very pretty at this sea son. In the valley just around the cave is a bed of white lilies that cov ers several acres; on the hill are wild rose bushes with pantalets of red, grayman’s beard, dogwood, etc., while the giant old oaks with their dense foliage are covered with hang ing moss and trailing vines. There is one large room, or ca\e, twenty feet in diameter, and a twelve foot passage that connects with another cave near Montezuma. When a child my old black nurse would tell me wonderful stories of how a wild In dian buck was made to bite the dust by a manly white fellow who was sueing for the same Indian maiden’s hand; then how the Indians cruelly put the girl and her white lover to death at the stake. At o&r picnic the little Socks and Stockings sat by the hour drinking in the same old stories, only we drew the picture quite differently, leaving off the blood and thunder tragedies, and telling them how natural it was for the Indian girl to fall in love with one of we handsome % fellows, and how bravely we would woo and win her, then take her away from the woods and rocks to live in comfort and refinement. I am glad to hear that the memo rial addresses of Hon. J. P. Duncan and Prof. Driskell are to appear in the Joubnal, thac all of our boys who didn’t hear them may read them. We had the pleasure of hear ing Prof. Driskell’s address at Per ry, and the splendid manner in which he presented the facts and figures was highly pleasing, but we dinn’t get enough, for we want to read it, then file it away in our scrap book and read it again. Some of the boys and girls begged Mrs. Stocking to let them have a lit tle social gathering at home last week, and when they asked who they could have, of course I said all the pretty girls, and Mrs. Stocking said all the nice boys. Well, as I looked at the sweet, graceful girls, I couldn’t help wishing that I was a boy again, for there is nothing half so charming in all this world as a good, modest girl. Some people declare that boys are no good, but of course we girls know that isn’t true, for what would we do without our manly boys? And who could help feeling happy with the pictures of pretty girls and man ly boys before them? But time and the U. S. mail wait for no one. Mb. H. A.

A meet ing was held at Macon last Friday morning, and the transportation committeo will apply to the state railroad commission for assistance to secure equitable freight rates. It is declared that the rates to eastern markets are one-third higher than for equal distances to western mar kets. If the railroads are not blind to then* own interests, they will co operate with the fruit-growers in continuing the development of this interest. It is hot co-operation to destroy the profit to the grower with exorbitant freight charges. . Old Soldier^ Experience. M. M.

Man ning Davis, on Mossy Hill, a most ! delightful “At Home” was enjoyed by the young people of that and other vicinities. The parlors and spacious hall were all aglow, and were perfumed with the fragrance of roses, and at about half past nine o’clock a happy crowd had assem bled therein. They were delightfully entertain ed by music from Misses Maggie Marr, Mary and Louise Davis, and Mr. Butler Hardison, after which they indulged in pleasant games and tete-a-tetes, some sitting on the ve randa in order that they might “star-gaze” and enjoy the cooling breezes. Those present were: Messrs. How ard Miller, H. G.

H. Wimberly. At about 11 o’clock refreshments were served, which consisted of cream, cake and pickles; this was greatly enjoyed. By their hospitality Mr. and Mrs. Davis are widely known; indeed, they are charming entertainers and are well versed in the art of pleas ing, and this occasion will long lin ger in the minds of those who at tended. At a late hour reluctant good- nights were said, all declaring they had never spent a more delightful evening. A moon-light ride home comple ted the evening’s pleasure. A Guest. Byron Brieflets.

Mr. Anltman had been in declining health for about three months, and was confined to his bed about five weeks prior to his death.

Mr. Aultman was born in Houston county March 7th, 1869 and was 32 years, 1 month and 13 days old at his death.
