In Memoriam.
Written for tlie Home Joubnal. •
On July 9th, 1902, the Angel of
rest came to our weary, father, John
W. T. Howard, of near Kathleen,
Ga.
He was in the seventy-fifth year
of hiB age. For two years he had
been in declining health, at times a
great sufferer, whioh only drew hini
nearer the cross. In the truest sense
of the word he was a Christian; gen
tle and sweet-spirited, leaning on
God as only those can who have
trusted in His promises from child
hood; a man of unusual intellect,
strong in his convictions, and while
modest and retiring ia disposition,
was ever ready to speak in defense
of the right.
His brother, in, writing of him to
the bereaved family, said: “His kind
and gentle nature, fine sense of feel
ing and good will toward all man
kind, has been a marvel to me, and
given me an example that I never
saw so fully in any one else through
life.”
So often in his last illness I
thought of
“Even down to old age all my people
shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable
love,” etc.
What stronger proof of the promises
of a well-spent life than a peaceful
old age, the reverence of every one,
the gentle care bestowed upon him
by all ^around, and above all, the
blessed assurance of a home in
Heaven. Beautiful indeed was the
love anc| devotion of his children,
The conventionalities of the world
had no charms for him, but every
child that really knew him recog
nized in him a friend. His affection
for his grandchildren and their love
for him was perfect. None could
give wiser counsel or was ever more
ready to throw light on the myste
ries of enquiring young minds.
How he will be missed by all, es
pecially the invalid wife whom he
had so patiently and faithfully cared
for during eighteen- years of help
lessness. So near of one mind had
they grown, and so sweet the chris
tian consolation derived each from
the other, that the parting was in
deed sad. Take comfort, d*ar moth
er and children. He is “over there
to welcome you to the “Land that is
fairer than day.” He has, begun a
new life where there is no more
sickness, no more sorrows nor good
byes. Enter thou, dear father, into
the joys ot thy Lord.

All Were Saved,
“For years I suffered such un
told misery, from Bronchitis,’
writes J. H. Johnston of Brought
on, Ga., that .often I was unable
to work. Then, when everything
else failed, I was wholly cured by
Dr. "King’s New Discovery for
Consumption. My wife suffered
intensely from asthma till it cur
ed her, and all our experience
goes to show it is the best croup
medicine in the wprld.” A trial

It is sai$ that Governor Joseph
E. Brown was probably, the first
man in Georgia to psfi.a typewriter,
and no min ever needed one more,
says the-Athens Banner. He had a
large correspondence, and, like his
friends; Alex; Stephens and. Pete
Thweatt, he wrote a horrid hand
When correspondents first received
letters thus written, they were some
what nettled, thinking it a reflection
on their- intelligence, and replied
that he “heed riot have gone to the
trouble of having his letter printed
they could read writing.”- 1 —Ex,

Cor. Atlanta Constitution. .
Fort Valley, Ga., July 27.—For
several weeks past Fort Valley has
oeen the Mecca for commission men
and their representatives, but they
are beginning to leave.
The story of the success attend
ing fruit growers here taxes the
mind of the credulous and seems
impossible to the uninformed. Two
instances in point:
A Mr, Hancock rented a small
farm from E. M. Fagan for five
years, agreeing to pay therefor $50
year; there were a number of
peach trees .on this farm which, had
been neglected, but the renter com
prehended the situation, and realiz
ing their value, cultivated them this
year and sold the fruit for enough
to pay four years’ rent.
Senen years ago Judge | M. O.
Greene planted sixteen acres in
peaches. Sinde then he has made
four crops on the orchard and has
realized $4,966, or an average of
more than $1,200 each crop year, or
$700 every year since the trees were
set out. This income, he says, rep
resents a clear profit, for the prod
ucts of the land more than paid for
the trees and the attention they re
ceived.
One of the most pronounced^ suc
cesses attendant upon this season’s
crop is the operations of F, W. Ha-
zlehurt & Co., of Macon. Oolonel
Sam Westbrpok of the firm, appear
ed upon the scene in early spring
and began buying up orchards and
paying cash therefor, when the crop
was not fully assured.
The nerve displayed by this new
Richmond in the field attracted im
mediate attention, and many pre
dicted utter ruin when they learned
that he had paid $2,600 for one or
chard, but the sequel shows his
judgment was good.
During the season Mr. Westbrook
has purohased in all thirty-five or
chards, and paid out in oash for
same over $40,000. Thpy have ship
ped to date over two hundred cars,
besides several hundred cases via
express. ,
While Mr. Westbrook took won
derful risks, his operations were
based npon such a stupendous scale
that a modicum of success meant
handsome profits. Jt is now con
ceded by conservative but knowing
ones that when he leaves here next
week ho will have as a reward for
his labor between $20,000 and $30,
000.
The peach business here is a pay
ing industry.
A Cure for Cholera Infantum.
“Last May,” says Mrs. Curtis
Baker j of Bookwater, Ohio, “an
infant child of our neighbor’s was
suffering from cholera infantum
The doctor had given up all hopes
of recovery. I took a bottle of
Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy to the house,
telling them I felt; sutfs it would

It seems probable that Speaker
Henderson will .have a hard fight
for re-election. A number of prom
inent republicans in th'e present
house of representatives were busy
at the recent session in organizing
opposition to Henderson, and are
said to have found much encourage
ment. The present speaker has of
fended in one way Dr another many
of his original supporters, and they
are now actively endeavoring to put
into the chair some nfan who would
be more to their liking.

Jeffersonian Principles' and Modern
Conditions.
AlbahjrHeralcl.
Jefferson was all right in his day,
and some of the fundamental prin
ciples laid down by him will live
forever and can be applied in the
administration of the affairs of gov
ernment for all time; but conditions
are very different now from what
they were when Mr. Jefferson lived.
The world has progressed, and the
political parties in the greatest coun
try and greatest republic oq earth
must progress with it. Uonditions
exist to-day that were never dream
ed of by Jefferson, and the demo
cratic party must, adjust itself to
these conditions if it hopes to suc
ceed.
We have recently had two notable
“harmony” meetings by prominent
democrats. At one of these meet
ings Ox-President Cleveland was the
star speaker, and at the other Wm.
J. Bryan filled that role. These two
men, though political antipodes,
both claim to be democrats and
both pleaded for the party to return
to Jeffersonian principles
As we have already said, Jefferson
was all right in his day, and there is
still abundant ^material in the his to
ry of his life and public utterances
and writings for Fourth of July
orations and patriotic commence
ment declamations, but isn’t it
about time for the democratic parly
to adjust itself to existing condi
tions and turn its face from the
dead past to the living future?
While we are howling about Jeffer
sonian principles and taking our
ideals from the dead past the repub
licans are appropriating the best of
everything in politics and holding
their party in power by adjusting it
to the most popular side of all issues
growing out of the new conditions
of the age. -
As one who has been hewing
wood and hauling water for the
democratic party all his life, we
would be glad to see the party lead
ers turn their attention from the
things that Jefferson said in his day
to the business interests and living
issues of to-day.

of property in New York. Should
the estimate prove to be correct, the
