We had a nice rain Saturday

Death at La Villa.
On Tuesday, May 27th, 1902, af
ter an illness of ten days, little Eu
nice, infant daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Dave Birdsong, aged 15
months, was called to her heavenly
ihome.
Thus it has pleased an All-wise
Providence to take away this little
•angel, the idol of an affectionate
•father and mother* Eunice was a
•bright and interesting babe. She
was loved by all who knew her, so
ssweet and delicate was she.
May God give grace to help the
dear father a^d mother bear cheer
fully this sore bereavement, for she
•is only asleep in Jesus.
“Eunice drew the mantle o’er her—
Hid her sorrow and her grief;
And in heaven we will find her,
-.‘Saved by mercy and belief.
But little ohildren need not fear,
If they will keep the Savior near;
He came to nave them with the rest,
.And she with others has been blest.
He knows the trials they must bear,
He knows their need of tender care;
He came and died upon tde tree,
'That they from bondage might be free.
'Farewell, sweet Eunice i ine,
Farewell to thy mortal clay;
By-by to t. 'y happy soul,
We’ll meet again some day.
farewell, farewell, Eunice, we see you
there,
.Beokoning with ihy dear little hand,
And with the angels bright and fair,
We’ll meet you in that heavenly land.”
Cousin Eunice.
Recently there have been many
-evidences that American industry- is
surely gaining prestige in England
•in competition with the manufactur
ers of that country, and the London
Black and White recently published
-the following significant declaration;
-“Very soon there will be little left
hers in which the United States
does not either wholly possess or
hold a ruling share. What we wear,
what we eat, the tools we use, from
our pens and writing desks to the
■machines that run the workshop and
•the foundry and the furnace, all
'these, and more, are American. There
is not a market in which American
competition is not pressing English
manufacturers harder and harder.”

From the Insurance Press we learn
ffchat in the United States, posses
sions of the United States and Can
ada the life insurance companies
paid in death claims last year $217,-
162,530. Of this amount beneficia
ries in Georgia received $3,137,171.
The grand total of all payments, in
cluding annuities, dividends, surren
der values, and claims paid in for
eign countries, was $290,881,591.
The receipts of the companies in
^premiums on policies, etc., are not
given, but it is safe to say they ag
gregated very near to one billion
-dollars.
Judge Gober of Marietta has en
tered suit for $20,000 for damages
against Mr. Thomas B. Brady, also

that he had agreed, to purchase an

that time sold to.anotker party.

In Memory of Gladys Fitzgerald.
After a short illness, God in
His infinite wisdon called to His
bosom last Friday the infant
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. G.
Fitzgerald.
Little Gladys was a bright and
very sweet child and was tiff sun
shine of that home which is now
so dark.
We all sympathize with the sad
mother and father, but they
should grieve not, for God knows
best.
“One precious to those hearts is gone,
The voice they loved is still;
The place made vacant in their home
Can never more b9 filled.
“Our Father in His wisdom called
The boon His love had given;
And though on earth her body lies,
The soul i^ save in Heaven.
“Farewell, dear Gladys, farewell,
We must say our last farewell;
Peacefully be thy rest:
Slumber sweetly, God knew best
When he called thee home to rest.
“Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep.
“A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.”
Hayneville, Ga. A Friend.
—Through the courtesy of our
friend, Mr. C. R. Moore, repre
senting The American Manufac
turing Co. of Savannah, Ga., of
which the Messrs. Mohr Brothers
are proprietors, we have the pleas
ure of knowing the scope of his
sample line of pants for this com
ing fall season and were amazed
at their extent, variety and up-to-
date styles, having the assurance
that the prices were as low as the
lowest. We are emphatically in
favor of advancing the interest of
home manufacturers and cannot
too urgently advise our merchants
to place their orders for trousers,

goods, with this, first-class house.

A LAY SERMON.
Written for The Homb Journal.
Then shall I kuow.—1 Cor..18:12.
We some.t'itries speak of Christ
ians as professors of religion... It
would startle us somewhat to say
that this man, of that, is a pro
fessor of irreligion, I am ac
quainted with a very amiable
man who delieves in the immor
tality of the soul, but makes no
inquiry concerning that truth
which is unchangable forever. He
seems to accept any belief or un
belief that is not disagreeble to
himself. He does not read the
Word which ie said to be a dis-.
cerner of the thoughts aind in
tents of the heart, nor does he go
to church any more. Not only is
he disinclined,- but perhaps he is
unconsciously afraid. _ He has ha‘d
experience , of conviction, < and
thinks this dreadful experience
resulted from going to church.
And it did, He absents himself,
therefore, to avoid that which no
one seeks, and no one quite es
capes, Perhaps no other work of
grace is wrought in a man. with
out his consent, so that, ill a pe
culiar sense, conviction indicates
the inconceivable solicitude of
God for man—not His anger.
The man to whom all this re
fers expresses the belief that he
will go to heaven. He would not
expect to arrive at any other
place without going towards it.
He seems to be unfair to himself,
where tremendous issues are in
volved. I said to him, very soon
we shall know what is truth. If
the reader has sufficient courage
and is fairminded, he will do well
to pause here and consider very
seriously that very soon we shall
know. And now we have come to
the dreamland of unbelief, where
vagueness, uncertainty and sur
mise possess the mind. What
shall we do? How shall we pre
pare for the imminent revelation
of truth? Wherefore do we ask
the question and reject the an
swer? What we need to learn is
urged upon us every day. Dives
was concerned about"his brothers
and prayed that one should be
sent from the dead to warn them.
Abraham said to him, they have
Moses and the prophets. Lazarus
had no more, nor needed more.
He simply accepted what was ac
corded to him, and there were an
gels in attendance when their
ministry was needed.
Some one will say that having
Moses and the Prophets, we may
not understand what they have
written. Let us be candid with
ourselves and admit that this rle-
dends on our willingness or un
willingness to learn. There was
a man who traveled' from Jerusa
lem towards Egypt and read what
Isaiah had written, and because
his own mental powers were in
sufficient for his needs, sufficiency
was supplied to linn. Wo know
therefore that he was sincere, and
must conclude that sincerity finds
the truth it seeks. What God
hag done one time indicates the
mind of God forever, there being
no variableness in Him. What
He did for the Ethiopian He will
do in some perfect maimer for ev
ery man. Some things are not
taught/but he betrays his own in
sincerity who fails to learn what
ever he really needs to know. The
Wise Men of the East came nut of
the shadows seeking the light of
life. First of all they were wise
to understand that shadows indi
cate that there is light some
where. Being observed with just
a little care, they also indicate
the direction of the light. But
something intervenes, or there
would be no shadows, and a doubt
ful mind may ask, is not the way
obstructed? These men had suf
ficient knowledge for the day, add
sufficient faith for the morrow.
Just when wayside inquiry avail
ed them nothing, a star appeared
to guide them, and somehow, they
knew why it appeared. It is said
that in the way they pursued, a
wayfaring man need not err. Tins
star was not evolved in any Dar
winian sense, but was opportune
ly sent to men who were in ear
nest quest of truth.
The star was not of this system,
or any other, but its supernatural
coming and going disturbed none
of tbe natural laws. The man
ner of this timely guidance will
not recur, but the meaning of it
continues forever. Conditions be
ing aiikp. the same truth will be
verified to every man, or instan
taneous chaos will result.
What I have endeavored to de
clare is that in a little while we
shall MJJI even as also we ate
known.
It is important to learn while
here, and possible to learn as
muoh as we must know.
And I especially undertake to,
say that while God sends Philip
to the Ethiopian/ and Peter to
Cornelius, He also Sends the Holy
Spirit tQ teach that which is spir
itually discerned. R.
Labor andPoliitcs.
Labor and politics are like wa
ter and oil, they refuse to mix.
The citizen must faoe aud set
tle both the labor question and
the political question separately.
The result of intelligent settle
ment of these questions means
good government and a bountiful
harvest.

using modern labor-saving imple
