Written For The Home Joubttai,.
Just a ray of sunshine in a world of mighty
Just a kindly smile, [gloom
Makes life worth living from the cradle to the
Surely ’tis worth while! [tomb—
just a littie kindness to a brother fallen low,
Just a helping hand [heavy grow •
Stretched across life’s darkness as hiB burdens
He will understand.
If you were in trouble, and all about was dark
As a moonless night, [spark
Would you not be thankful for just one kindline

Surely it is easy for ns all in life to give
Just a tiny part
Of God’s gracious light within, each day we live
Warming some poor heart.
Oct. 31,1901. Lizzie May Hemingway.
In Memory of My Husband, Mr. W.
A. Moreland.
He was bom in Upson county,.
Ga., June 20th, 1836, and died near
Perry, Ga., October 1st, 1901. .
During a long and tedious illness
he spoke freely of his death, and
gave full directions concerning his
burial, writing to a former pastor in
Barnesville, Ga., to bury him near
Zebulon beside, or near, the loved
ones of his youth. But the nature
of his disease would not allow of his
being carried so far, and he was bur
ied in Perry.
And uow his sacred dust
In “Evergreen” will lie,
To await the Savior’s call
To meet Him in the Sky.
He was converted and joined the
Methodist church in early life. In
1858 he was happily married to Miss
Sallie Smith, a noble Christian lady,
who died in the triumph of a living
faith in 1897. Of this : union there
were three children, two of them
now living; one a daughter, Mrs. M.
L. Sntman of near Zebulon, and a
eon, Mr. M. I. Moreland of Shreve
port, La. Both of these visited him
during his last illness. He was a
kind and loving father and husband.
He was a Confederate soldier,
“For soon as his country called for sons
To battle for home and. right,
He arose to go, and faced the foe, •
With courage and honor bright.”
He fought under Gen. Lee, and was
almost fatally wounded in one of
those frightful battles of Virginia.
He only lived in this county a few
days over one year, and was at the
time of his'death an ©shorter and
evangelist.
I will not try to. enumerate the
virtues of my husband, for words
are inadequate to tell of his good
ness, and with what patient resigna
tion he waited on the divine will,
prayed most earnestly for all man-,
kind, especially for the friends and
neighbors; also for his physician,who
bo kindly ministered to his temporal
wants. Earth is poorer, Heaven
richer.
Sweet hands may sing their hero’s praise,
And tell how they fight for glory;
They soon will die and forgotten lie.
They are hut a flaming story.
Not so with the Christian hero; .
He seeks no worldly fame, •
But points to the Cross, counting all a loss,
But fighting in Jesus’ name.
I’ll sing of a Christian hero,
Who battled for his Lord, .
Telling dying men who were living m sin .
Of Jesus and His word.
He loved the souls of men,
And loved to point them to Heaven,
That home above where all is love,
And of rest so freely given.
God had given him the blessing of perfect
His sanctifying grace; _
What blessings sweet ) what joys complete.
In this exalted place! .
In the strength of this great blessing.
This peaceful, happy rest, -
He conquered sin, had peace within,
And leaned on Jesus’ breast.
•‘The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want,
He’ll go with me, he’d often say;
I cannot fear with .Him so near,
His presence will brighten my way.
And in this peaceful, happy frame
He crosses Jordan’s stream,
And soars above, on Avings of love,
•To find “death’s only a dream.
The battle’s o’er, the victory’s won;
In his last, expiring breath
He conquers more than|all before.
The last enemy, “Death.”

Allow me to say a few words in
raise of Chamberlain’s Cough Rem-
3y. I had a very severe cough and
lid and feared I would get pneu
monia, but after taking the second
ose of this medicine I felt better;
iree bottles of it cured my cold and
be pains in my chest disappeared
otirely. I am most respectfully
ours'for health, Ralph S. Meyeks,

NEED FOR COURAGE.

If Congressman Babcock is in
earnest when he announces that he
will make a fight for tariff reduc
tion, he should find encouragement
in the failure of the Industrial Com
mission to obtain replies from the
principal trusts regarding sales of
products abroad cheaper than at
home. Their silence is a self-im
peachment of the tariff which takes
bonus out of the citizen’s pocket
for their higher profit.
Especially significant is the fiat
refusal of the steel trust to answer
the series of questions proposed by
the commission. Yet Mr. Schwab,
when testifying, asserted that if the
tariff were reduced the corporation
of Which he is president would be
forced to cut wages. Further than
that.he refused to commit himself.
Continued grab seemfc to be the
policy of the trusts which have re
fused to furnish dal a to the Indus
trial" Commission. Does their atti
tude mean that the present system
of high protective tariffs will be con
tinued by bluffing the laboring peo
ple with the ungrounded fear that
wages will be lowered? Are the div
idends of shrinking industrial stocks
to be buoyed by forced profits?
Mr. Babcock has a big task before
him. This attitude of the trusts will
hardly change. The tariff must be
maintained by the forces that are
now threatening such men as Repre
sentative Babcock. Thero is need
for courage on the part of those who
think to ‘alter the present policy of
the. republicans in control of the
party machine. Of argument there
is a plenty. Facts and inferences are
on the side of the tariff reformers,
but are they brave enough to con
tinue in the fight to. the end? Will
not Babcock go the way of Knute
Nelson? - St. Louis Republic.
Hon. Seaborn Wright, representa
tive from Floyd county, is going to
introduce a bill in the legislature
providing for the teaching in the
public schools of the state of an ele
mentary book on agriculture. He
thinks the children of Georgia should
be taught something about plant
and animal life. Mr. Wright will
ask for a small appropriation from
the agricultural department fund for
the purpose of procuring such a
book as is desired. Both Commis
sioner Stevens and Commissioner
Glenn have recommended such a
change in the curriculum for several
years.—Ex.

Astounding Discovery
From Coopersville, Mich., comes
word a of wonderful discovery of
a pleasant .tasting liquid that
when used before retiring by any
one troubled with a bad cough al
ways ensures a good night’s rest.
“It will soon cure the cough too,”
writes Mrs. S. Himelburger, “for
three' generations of our family
have used Dr. King’s New Discov
ery for Consumption and never
found its equal for Coughs and
Colds.” It’s an unrivaled life-
saver, when used for desperate lung
diseases. Guaranteed bottles 50c
and $1.00 at Holtzclaw’s drugstore
Trial bottles free.
It- looks now that hereafter the
sessions of the legislature in Geor
gia will be held only every two
years. The committee on consti
tutional amendments has reported
favorably on such a bill, and has
recommended that it be passed by
the House and Senate. It is a
wise move. If successful it will
save the state thousands of dollars
and many useless laws.—Dawson

SEE THE BRIGHT SIDE.
Nothing contributes more to the
highest success than the formation
of a habit of enjoying things, says
Success. Whatever your calling in
life may be, whatever misfortunes or
hardships may come to you, make
up your mind resolutely that, come
what may, you will get the most
possible real enjoyment oat of every
day; that you will increase your ca
pacity for enjoying life, by trying to
find the sunny side of every experi
ence of the day. Resolutely deter
mine that you will see the humorous
side of things. No matter how hard
or unyielding your environments
may seem to be, there is a, sunny
side if you only see it. The mirth-
provoking faculty, even under trying
circumstances, is worth more to a
young man or woman starting out
in life than a fortune without it.
Make up your mind that you will be
an optimist, that there shall be noth
ing of the pessimist about you, that
you will carry your own sunshine
wherever you go. There is longevi
ty in the sunny soul that eases our
jolts and makfts our sides shake with
laughter. There is a wonderful me
dicinal effect in good cheer. Good
news and glad tidings have a magic
effect even upon invalids. We often
see a whole store or factory or home
transformed by one sunny soul. On
the other hand, we have seen them
blighted and made dark by a gloomy,
morose, fault-finding person.
There is said to be more cotton in
the hands of producers in Oklahoma
and Indian Territory 'than ever be
fore. A newspaper man from Guth
rie visited a number of farms in the
two territories recently, and found
on every farm an average of ten
bales held in reserve for higher
prices. From the information gath
ered by him he believes the average
will hold good for the entire section,
and that the farmers will not sell
under 10 cents a pound.—Savannah

The Children’s Friend.
You’ll have a cold this winter.
Maybe you have one now. Your
children will suffer too. For
coughs, croup, bronchitis, grip
and other winter complaints One
Minute Cough Cure never fails.
Acts promptly. It is very pleas
ant to flie taste and perfectly
harmless. C. B. George, Win
chester, Ky., writes “Our little
girl was attacked with croup late
one night and was so hoarse she
could hardly speak. We gave her
a few doses of One Minute Cough
Cure. It relieved her immediately
and she went to J sleep. When she
awoke next morning she had no
signs of hoarseness or croup.”

The boy or young man who sys
tematically saves his earnings will
eventually become the employer of
those who spend every Cent they can
get. There is not so much in the
amount saved as in the habit form
ed. Business opportunities will in
evitably come to the young man
who makes the proper effort to pre
pare himself to meet them, and the
best way to accompl ; sh this is to
save your earnings for future invest
ment.—Ex.
