JOHK H ' H °° GE9 ’ Propr - bevoted TO home interests. PROGRESS and culture. #1.80 a Tear in Advance. VOL. XXX r . perry, Houston county, ga., Thursday, November e, 1902. KO. 45. Written for the Home Journal. On the evening of Sept. 4, 1902, the angel of death took from our midst our beloved pastor, friend and brother, Rev. J. E. Powell, r He was born in Thomas county February 16th, 1858, and lived to young manhood in his native com munity* where he acquired some schooling and was inspired with the noble desire to be or to do some thing for his Master, having united with the Baptist church while quite a young man. He made some sac rifices and eqdured much to enable himself to gain an education, grad uating at Mercer University about 1883. , He served many churches as pas- tor, and was at the head of several prominent institutions of learning, gaining for hinaself a wide reputa tion as teaoher in the true sense of the word—an obedient disciple of the Lord. He was called to the pastorate of our church in November, 1895, and Boon won the esteem and confidence of his people, being faithful to duty, and yet loving and tender in all his appeals. He was loved more as he would go in and out among us by the whole community, as he was by all who knew him wherover he went. He had recently moved into oiir community to labor more efficiently, if possible, with those whom he loved and who loved him, and the hearts of the people of the entire community were rejoicing and sing ing his praises when, lo! all our ex pectations and high hopes were dashed to pieces and joy was chang ed to grief, the light-hearted were made to sorrow, and all was brought to despair and gloom. The church without a pastor, the school without teacher, the community lost its best friend; wife without a husband and baby boy without a father. Truly “God doth work mysteriously His wonders to perform.” Therefore be it Resolved, That while in all our grief and sorrow and gloom wo rejoice in the fact that there is sweet comfort and peace to those who trust the Lord, for He hath assured us that “all things work together for good to them that love Him,” and that we submit wholly and completely to His divine will, and labor on wait ing and hoping for the better things in store for us. 2nd. That though in this trying time we would not forget the be reaved family, and wish to assure them of our love and esteem for the dear departed and truly sympathize with them, and will continually pray God to surround them with His comforting and fatherly care that they may finally rejoice in that hap py union in eternity where there is no parting for those who love and Berve the Lord. 3rd. That a copy of these reso lutions be presented to the bereaved family, published in the Christian Index and Houston Home Journal, and made a part of our minutes.

Now that arbitration of the dif ferences between the miners and the operators has been agreed upon, and the com mission has been appointed, speculation is rife as to the probable views of the commissioners. From past utterances it is thought that Bishop Spaulding and E. E. Clark will be favorable to the miners, while Edward Parker and T. H. Watkins will lean towards the oper ators. The unknown quantities in the problem are Judge George Gray and General James Wilson. Being prominent democrat, it would seem most natural for Judge Gray to be found on the side of the min ers. Being a soldier and a republi can, it would be a reasonable thing if General Wilson should be found on the side of the coal trust. Then, on every sharply disided issue, the vote would probably be equally di vided, and the result be indetermin ate. Commissioner Wright, who will preside, will have no vote, it is un derstood. There being six members of the commission, it will take a two-thirds vote to make finding on any of the points in dispute. This being true, and the predilections of the com missioners being as stated, the award will no doubt be unsatisfac tory to both parties; but inasmuch as both parties are pledged to abide the decision, the result will be a temporary peace. The commission has no power to enforce its awards, and its deliberations cannot result in any permanent settlement. The causes underlying the strike will not be removed. The test of strength between the strong arm and the long purse will not have been decis ive. The final struggle will simply have been postponed to some future day. Meantime, however, it is pos sible that congress may take the general question of strikes in hand, and make provision for enforced ar bitration. That would seem to be the only way of averting bloodshed and perhaps revolution—if even that should be effective. My patrons in Houston County are my references^ Ship me your Cotton. C. B. WILLINGHAM, Cotton Factor* ^£a,coni Q-eoigria. Guards Patrol White House. Washington, Oct. 28.—Recently published criticisms of the extrava gance and rapid ohanges of mind on the part of the architects having charge of the alterations of the white house have produced a mark ed effect. Not only 1b the ordinary citizen barred from the grounds, which are patrolled by polioemen, but a ban of seoreoy has been place.d on every employee of the architects and contractors, while the employ ees of the superintendent of public buildings and grounds are also mys teriously silent. A loose-tongued employee in the office of Colonel Bingham, superin tendent of buildings and grounds, recently let slip the information that the cost of the alteration is much greater than was contemplated by congress, amounting to over $600,- 000, which will probably necessitate the insertion of a fat item in the de ficiency bill. Much of this surplus expenditure is being caused by the rejection of work that was nearly completed, arising from the fact that the architect had not matured his plans before putting them into execution. Georgia’s Gold Production. State Geologist Yates has a show case outside his department at the capital in which he exhibits some splendid nuggets of Georgia gold. One of these is the largest ever found in the state, and came from Cherokee county. Among the spec imens is a rich sample of float that was found in Fulton county, 14 miles from Atlanta. Mr. Yates said: “Gold mining is looking up in Georgia and several large transac tions in mines have recently been made with foreign parties. Most of the mining heretofore has been plac ing and hydraulic mining, but now capital is proposing to work the veins and there is no telling what rich developments may be made in tbis line in the near future. Georgia once produced most of the gold used for the United States mint,and some of us have faith to believe that she may come very near repeating the record some day in the future.’ —Atlanta Constitution.

A Kansas militiaman who has been taking part in the maneuvers at Fort Riley has, according to the Kansas City Journal, written thus feelingly to his father: “And so the war goes on. I’m coming home, pa, just as soon as I can get there. I want to lay aside my blue pants and put on my blue overalls again. I have an infinite yearning to do like some guinea I read about in history named Gin- cinnatus or something like that- want to get hold of a plow again. Sentiment don’t feel half as good in a man’s inside as beefsteak and gra vy and biscuits, and military honor don’t dry a man when he’s wet half as much as the fire in the kitchen. I’m coming home, pa. And in the future when I hear the bugle blow and the drum roll, I’m going to hide under the haystack and let Willie Bryan save the country, as I hear he’s hankering after the job.” Dr. Yung-Wing, who was instru mental in sending the new Chinese minister to this country for his edu cation, was one of the three Chinese lads brought to this country in-1848 by Rev. Samuel Rollins Brown, who established the first Protestant Chris tian school in China. W. A. DAVIS. BEN. T. RAY. GEO. II. LOWE- ¥. A.
