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.” F. A. 41. To Tlie Public. 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.

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. —2 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.

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 News. • A LIBERAL offer.

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 News. The Children’s Friend.

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.
