While joy bells wake the morn,
A golden year is born.
The old year flits aw a y

May every glad heart sing
While bells of New Year ring.
Let us all who k’pow how, pray
that the new year v^on’t be such a
disappointing and trying 0 nd as the
old year was. Have - you thought of
it, that last year/fre had ni> spring

Mack Felder, the champion skin
player of the Hill, attempted to
snuff the light o' 1 the moon with his

course the shooting was an “acoi-
dent,” and it is also true that Mack
fled for his home like a coward,
while John writhed in pain on the
ground until hauled home and cared
for by his employer. It is all right
for the fools to go ahead and shoot

Hattie
In Loving Memory. . ^ ’
Mrs. Susan Ellen Cheek, youngest
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Seaborn
Hiokson, was born in Pike county,
near Barnesville, August 6th, 1859.
While quite young she gave her
heart to God and joined the Methp-
dist church at old Century Nelson,
where her father, mother, brothers
and sisters were all members. She
was married to Mr. J. E. Cheek De
cember 11th, 1883, and died at their
home in Houston county December
12th, 1903, having been married just
one day over twenty$years.
Her life was unselfish and kind,
her character well-rounded by char
ity. She lived without enemies and
in the love and confidence of her
neighbors and friends. Her good
Methodist mother brought her up
ta fear God, love the Bible, the
church, the Sunday sohool and the
ministers. She waB a . good neigh
bor, a gentle, loving wife and a de
voted mother. She walked before
the Lord blameless; and when the
call of the Master came, found her
ready to obey. She passed away
from this life after one week of ill*
nete, to “go with the angels of light”
to her eternal rest in Heaven—that
“home not made with hands, eter
nal in the skies.”
May the good Lord who dpetlmll
things well deal tenderly with her
sorrowing husband and motherless
children (two of whom are too
young to realize their loss) until
their call comes to meet her on
high, and may they bow with meek
submission to the will of Him who
never makes a mistake, and say as
did one of old, “The Lord giveth
and the Lard hath taken (her) away,
blessed be the name of the Lord”
In the presence of many sorrow
ing relatives and friends the dear
form was laid away in Evergreen
cemetery, at Perry, to await the
sounding of the trumpet of the
Lord. M. E. H.
