JOHN H. HOUSES, Propr. DEVOTED TO HOME INTERESTS, PROGRESS AND CULTURE. S1.SO a, Year in Advance. VOL. XXXT. PERRY, HOUSTON COUNTY, GA., THURSO AY, JUNE 19, 1902. NO. 25. MAN. Written for the Home Journal . Through misty aeons, all untold by pen, Or tongue, the subtle thread of being runs. There’s only one, the Father of his sons, Who knows from whenee it came and Where it ends, There are only these—the master product, men- Who share alone their mighty Maker’s gift; The gift of; resaon, whereby they may lift Themselves perchance above what might have been. No evolution brought men forth to shin o So far above the humbler creatures round; 'Hie breath of life was breathed by,'pow’r divine Into their nostrils, and that sweetest sound— The linnian voice—framed in a sovereign mind; All to His glory ever to redound. Perry, Ga., ' J, W. Sjmmons, Jit. IN MEMORIAM. Written for The Home Journal. November 5th, 1844, May 2Gth, 1902, mark the earthly limits of the life of Francis Jeter. He was born near Warm Springs, Ga. of Methodist parents; married Mrs. Bessie Riley, nee Calhoun, on the 25th of October, 1877; died in Macon. He united with the. First Street Methodist diurch of Macon in 1882, since which time he has been faithful. He loved thejright asjhe saw it,and followed it. He was the very soul of honor, hating all sham and insincerity. His was a happy, genial disposi tion, and his friends were well nigh numbered by his acquaint ances. ’‘His thoughtfulness of others was markek, especially those who moaned or>were*in dis tress. Such will miss him most. He was not a saint, but his mark was not lower than sainthood,and he fought a good fight. He had a brief creed, a child-like faith, a dominant purpose, a growing ex perience. While his loved ones weep and are sad, they sorrow not as those “who have no hope.” May the “Man of Sorrows” deal very gently with those ho left,and grant that grace necessary for them to get His secret message out of this dark hour. H. B., Macon, Ga. TO MY DEAR FATHER. God has taken our loved one; Has taken His suffering child, And though our hearts are ntgh breaking, Wo must try to ho reconciled. But our hearts ’are so hungry without him And the burden seems.heavy to hear, But God in his tnflnite mercy Will takeaway all the pain and the care. Oh, Papa, we’re so lonely without you; How we miss you no one knows! And our hearts are breaking with sorrow While you sleep on in that calm, sweet repose ’ * Daughter.

Rushing died at his home about three miles from Byron. The mortal frame was laid away on the following Sunday at Union Cemetery, in Crawford county, by the .side of that of his dear loving companion, who had preceded him just a little more than a year ago; but his immortal soul was by angles carried to that Eternal Home beyond the skies, where the welcome plaudii “Well done,thou good and faithful servant,” awaited him. He was born in Crawford coun ty, Ga.. a little more than 70 years ago, and was married at the age 22 to Miss Elizabeth Hardison of Houston county. He was tax collector of Crawford county for sik years and his hon esty and integrity won for him the love and entire confidence of all who knew him. He joined the Primitive Bap tist church when comparatively a young man and his life has ever since'been fully in accord with the solemn vows he then assumed, Christian in the truest sense of the word; true and faithful to every duty,, kipd,helpful and sym pathetic to others. Ho leaves six children, .viz. Messrs. J. W., W. »F. and H. D. Rushing, Miss Mollie Rushing, Mrs. A. F. Smith and Mrs. H. H. Dupriest. Besides these sons and daughters, there are several grand and great grand-chidren. He had been sick for along time, but not confined to his bed all the while until just a few days prior to his death. • He was tenderly nursed by rel atives and friends, all being done that human power,skill or ingenu ity could suggest or initmate, but all to no avail. The loving Mas ter had issued his summons and this pioneer of church and county was ready and willing to go. A truly good man has been called to his eternal reward. Ho has made his impress upon the hearts of his people, which time can never efface. May the blessed Redeemer help each of his precious loved ones to sojlive that they may meet him on that Eternal Happy shore, where these sad partings come never, no never more. A Grand-Child.

The indictment which the Fed eral grand jury at Memphis has found against five railroads for violating the interstate commerce law ought to attract the attention of Congress. It seems, according j to the indictment, that the rail-1* roads in question had an under standing in regard to the trans portation of cotton in the Mem phis district. There was a com bination among the roads which prevented any reduction in the rates for transporting cotton, but according to a statement of the traffic manager of one of the roads, the only understanding was that each road would respect the territory conceded to the other roads—that is, it would not cut rates in order to get cotton from that territory. It does not appear from the statement in the dispatches wheth er or not the roads attempted to charge higher rates than those al lowed by the railroad commission of Tennessee and other states from which cotton was transport ed. If • only the commission’s rates were charged there does not seem to be any good ground for complaint, shough it is probable that the tacit understanding that each should control the business of certain territory was a viola tion of the interstate commerce law. The reason Congress should notice this case is that with out some nderstanding such as these railroads liad they would have cut rates, demoralizing bus iness, injured themselves and. ben efited nobody except a few specu lators in cotton. It is better to have uniform rates, but they should be just and reasonable ones. Then the small shipper would stand on an equality with the big shipper.) In fact, all shippers would stand on an equal footing as far as the railroads were concerned. This condition of affairs can be brought about only by permitting the railroads to pool their eariiings and the creating of an authority to fix the rates. Until that is done some shippers will be favored at the expense of others and the rail roads will be at war all the time, much to their injury. BOOKS AND STATIONERY Saves A Woman’ Life.
