Tlie Jackson Girls.
Written For The Home journal.
Ob! sing about your Daisies,
And of your Georgia Rose;
Qive Creole Sues your praises
And any girl one knows,
But give, me Jackson'maidens,
Mississippi girls are mine:
l S ay “Old Jackson on the Pearl,”
Not Bingen on the Rhine.
So sing about the sheethearts
You left in Tennessee,
But still, my friends, the Jackson girls
Are good enough for me;
Yes I like your Georgia Rose
And your Kentucky girl,
But still they can’t compare with those
From Jackson on the Pearl,
Hurrah for the girls of Jackson,
I love them every one;
They can compare with any girl
That walks beneath the sun.
Three cheers for my dear'old Jockson
A„rl fnr Hapt- nid TaYlrsnn’fl on'rls•
And for dear old Jackson’s girls;
Among the jewels of the State,
Jackson’s Ladies are the Pearls.

Written For The Home Joubnal.
On Saturday 7 , August 24th, just
after the clock had tolled the hour
of two, ; the angle of Death came,
and took from us our beloved
orand-father. Although he had
been in feeble health for the last
several months, and physicians
said, he could not live, his death
was a shock to us, as we all had
hopes that the greft Healer.mighir
spare him tobe with us,and bright
en our lives awhile longer; but
that was not to be, for the Mas
ter was ready for his treasure, and
took him home. We ought to try
to be reconciled to give him up, as
weknow-.his every moment this
year has been spent in intense
suffering, and now we feel that he
is enjoying sweet rest, in the
beautiful beyond, where all is
peace and happin ess; no more sor
row and suffering there.
Iu the sixty-two years of his
noble life, thirty-five of them
were spent in serving the Lord.
His great desire in live was to
live near the Lord, and be at per
fect peace, with those around him.
He always had a kind word for
everyone, aud was ever ready to
held the needy.
He was the only grand-parent
I have ever known, and many hap
py days of my life have been spent
in his happy home. If we could
all only live>such a true Christian
life a3 he did, I am sure some of
us would be greatly changed.May
the Lord bless and help the be
reaved son to follow the examples
and walk in the bright footsteps
of his father. ‘Tis bad to think,
lie has gone from us forever, still,
we know, “That the Lord knows
best.” May he comfort the heart
broken wife, who so patiently sat
by him, day and night, obeying
bis every wish. Her only desire
seemed to be to wait onjhim.
In his death the Church loses a
faithful member, the community
a good citizen, and 'the family a
devoted husband, father and
grand-father. .
He is not dead,he has only gone
before us to that home beyond the
skies.
in the gloomy night of our deep
sorrow, we hope the lamps of
Heavenly promise will cheer us
odward.
His sacred memory is entwin
ed around our hearts, which we
will tenderly cherishuntil we, too,
are called to go.

In Memory Of Mrs. V. E. Heard.

Written For The Hoke Jour vat.
Whereas, our Heavenly Father
His alwise providence, has
again seen fit to visit our vicinity
and claim for his victim the wife
of Mr. Y. E. Heard, and daughter
of Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Gilbert.
On August the BOth, 1901, Mrs.
Fannie Heard was called to her
eternal home, where parting is
never more.
Mourn not, dear parents, for
thy loved one, for she has gone to
a glorious mansion, a love, where
pleasures never die, and praises
always ring; we know that it is
hard to give-her up, but remem
ber dear friends, that ""the Lord
giveth and the Lord taketh; and
he taketh only that which is his.
And while our hearts bleed by the
seperation, which death has caus
ed, we feel and trust that in some
future day we will join our loved
one on the banks of the river
that flows from the throne of God-
Sister Heard was a member of
the Baptist Church, a noble good
woman, and one that we all be
lieved to be a true Christian.
She was loved and. higly esteem
ed by all who knew her, and Oh!
how she will be missed by her
dear husband and little children,
but alas! we have all got to go
sonfe day,and we knownot at what
time the Lord will bid us come.
So let us be prepared to go at his
first bidding, for we know not how
soon.
We know that a vacancy has
been made which no one else can
fill; that home is no longer what
it was when our friend’s face and
voice welcomed her loved ones
there; yet we know that she has
received he reward in Heaven and
God hath said “well done thou
good and faithful servant,” and
she now awaits our coming and
will welcome us there, where death
can never part, but-where we can
be a united family in a home not
made with hands.
Mother has gone to join her dar
ling little Jim, who was called to
his beautiful home in June, and
her other loved ones who have been
watching and waiting for her.
Our Christian sister leaves an
aged mother, husband, four little
children, two sisters and three
brothers, besides a host of friends
and other relatives to mourn her
death. v
Why do we mourn departing friends,
Or Shake at death’s alarm?
’Tis but the voice that Jesus sends,
To call them to his arras*
The graves of all His saints he blessed
And softened every bed;
Where should the dying members rest,
But with their dying heads upon Je
sus breast*
