MRS, T. M. Fimas.
Elsewhere is given an account of
the death of Mrs. T. M. Peeples of
our city. The people of Lawrence
ville lament her death, and in the
language of Rev. J, W. Pogue,
“Lawrenceville has lost her best
friend.”
Wednesday was an ideal mid
winter day, and the people of our
tcwu turned out en masse to wit
ness the funeral service of this
good woman. The services were
touching, and the great audience
was moved to tears as the words
pf ’‘Home Sweet Heme” fell
sweetly aud sadly from the choir,
and as the minister feelingly ex
pressed the beautiful story of her
noble life.
Such tributes are timely, and af
ter all the only thing worth living
for in this world. The great and
small, the rich and pror, all must
come to death. And after all the
pomp and glory, the ambitions and
longings for earthly power and
position, comes then the summons
to journey into an unknown land.
What, then, is the best thing to
do that our lives may be the most
useful while living aud the most
influential while dying ? It is
this *,
“So live, that when the summons
comes to join
The innumerable caravau, that
moves
To that mysterious realm, where
each shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of
death,
Go thou not, like a quarry-slave
at night
Scourged to his dungeon, but sus
tained and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach
thy grave,
Like one who wraps the drapery
of his couch
About him and lies down to pleas
ant dreams.”
LABOR TKOUBLKS AT BUFORD.
The daily papers have been re
porting an impending strike at Bo
na Allen’s factory in Buford. An
attempt was made to organize a
labor union among his employees,
with the view to get higher wages,
as it is claimed he does not pay as
much as others whose employees
are organized.
Had all those working for Mr.
Allen gone into the organization
there would have been a clash, as
he told them that if he could not
run his business himself he would
close down.
Labor organizations are growing
in the south, and as our manufac
turing industries grow, these or
ganizations will increase, and the
fight between employer and em
ployee will go on.
The United States army costs
us $258,000,000 yearly.
Mr. Andrew Carnagie says he
will spend $1,000,000 per month
on libraries and churches; but he
will not give a cent to buy a church
organ. He has evidently heard
some church music.
In an address before a Sunday
school class in New York a few
days ago Andrew Carnagie, the
many times millionaire and foun
der of numerous libraries, advised
young men to engage in card play
iug and other kindred games dur
ing their leisure moments. It
seems that young people resort to
those games enough now without
further advice from Mr. Carnagie.
And theChristiau world will doubt
less question the relevancy of such
teaching in a Sunday school les
son. But be also makes further
suggestions for young men, ad
vising them to fall in love with
women much older than them
selves. In other words, a young
man of twenty should seek a part
ner of thirty or thirty-five. He
evidently has a great deal of sym
pathy for old maids and is trying
to help them out of a difficulty.
