BY SOCKS. Deputy Sheriff Riley,accompanied by Mr. H. R. Ragin, passed oyer the Hill one day last week and caused considerable excitement among the coons. The gentlemen mixed a.lit tle pleasure with business by bring ing their shotguns and bird dog. The pointer was a handsome fellow, but no doubt looked immense and savage to evil-doers. At any rate, the word soon passed with lightning rapidity that the officers had come down with a blood-hound and win chester rifles to run down some ter rible criminal, and expectation was on tip-toe throughout the day. It has rained for over a week on the Hill, the ground has become water-logged and every little stream, became a rushing riverlet. Much damage to the public roads from washing, eto., is reported. We had two hail storms Saturday, but the stones were small and but little damage was done. Politics is warming some and if the lick keeps up the pot will be foiling before the campaign fairly opens. We have been informed of one big bet on a race for county office, but we didn’t see any money go up. Farming is almost at a standstill just now, but we were ready for the rain, and will be on time to sail in again when the waters will allow. In the meantime the neighbors are very social, etc. Our neighbor has just given us a lively description of the social quali ties of a visitor to the Hill. The visitor spent the evening with our friend, left his horse with another, and regretted that he didn’t bring his dog to feast all around. We regret to learn of the serious illness of Mr. J. A. Hickson with pneumonia. Mr. F. W. Pool of near Henderson made a business trip to the Hill last week. Misses Jones dined with friends on the Hill Sunday. In Memory of Mrs. Hartley. With reference to the life and character of Mrs. Elbert Hartley, who died on the 18th of February, the following tribute was written last week by “Sub,” our Powersville correspondent: “Mrs. Hartley lived thirty years a devoted and consistent member of the Primitive Baptist church. Her life, as a friend, a neighbor, a wife, a mother, was a model of pure Chris tian womanhood, a bright and shin ing example of love, peace and en-. couragement to all those around her. She was very much devoted to her children, always ready, to sacrifice her life for their comfort and pleas ure. She lived to see all her chil dren grown to be useful men and women. While her bereaved ones miss her sorely, lr ay they be recon ciled to the will of God and receive grace to meet her above where death comes no more. “She was conscious of approach ing death, and was willing and ready to go.” >—©•-* In Memory of Little J. T. Kemper. On February 13th the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Kemper was sad dened by the death of. their darling little boy, J. T., aged two years and three months. He had only t>een sick three days when God came with His dear, sweet arms and plucked him as a precious little flower of health. He was taken with membranous croup, and every thing that devoted parents ond phy sician could do was done to- relieve him. He has left a vacant little chair which can never be filled. So often he would take his shoes and ask his papa to help, him put them on, and mama and papa were ever ready to answer his sweet little calls. We know ’tis hard, but God knows best. Grieve not, dear papa and mama, for ’tis wrong to be so deeply filled with sorrow, for he is not dead, but sweetly sleeping in Heaven. . Relatives and friends deeply sym pathize with the bereaved parents. The precious one is asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, which none ever wake to weep; Aunt Mamie. Macon, Feb. 24, 1902.
