CHARLTON CGUNTY HERALD
VOL. Xl.--NO. 12,
DIED
Between one and two o’clock last
Friday morning Mr, R. A, Hardee,
of this cityfl, p?ssed away after a short
illuess of pnefimonia. ;
The deceaded would have been
sixty-five yea;‘s of age had he lived
until next March. His death was
a complete surprise to the pecple of
th 2 town, -It was known that: he
was'sick but no one suspected that
his illness would prove fatal. He
was up most of the time until a_short
timie bofore his'death, even sitting
on the stde of 'his bed Thursday
afternoon.
Mr. Hardee was a man of excel
lent habits, fine moral character,
and sturdy constitution, and he
continyed to. be active in his accus
tomed pursuits till stricken with the
disease which caused his death, To
this end there is no doubt that his
sunshiny disposiiion largely contiib
uted. He met most of the condi
tions and situations of life with-a
joke. Hz was a practical, matter
of fact. wan, bui had his own pecu
liar way of extracting _merriment
fromli:c as it went along, and bhe
was not disposed to worry about
matiers thiat could be bettered i
other ways. ~He was invariably. a
good neighbor. When he died, full
of years, and ready to be” gu:thgrié‘d
t) his fathers, the grief that was felt
over the close of his ~carecer was
widespread and sincere. His best
monument will be the good - report
that he has left behind him in the
comumnity in which he has hyed
fur many years. &
Although he was a member of
:_.\.n church, Mr, Hardee exemplified
flingly evinced a practieal piety
that will long be remembered as
the vest of professions.
He scemed tc believe that ““Men
aad women, youth and children
stek the friendship us the sunny
faced.” That ~All doors are open
to thuse who smile.” Thagt ¢All
sociul circles welcome checriness.”
Thut * A sunny face is the open se
glme to hearts and nomes.”
" Ile behieved in the fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood "of: man.
He believed that the man who scat
ters flowers in the pathway of his
feliow-men, who lets into the darkl
places of life the sunshine of human
sy npathy and human happiness, is
following in the footstens of his
master, ;
The deceased leaves a wife, a
daughter, Mre. H. S. Mattox, and
six grandetildren, ail of this place,
to maourn his loss,
THEWELL
IS FINISHED
Folkston can now show as good
quality of artesian water as can be
found anywhere, and the nece‘ssity‘
of going to White Springs will no
longer exist. It is a regretted fact
that a flow couid not be obtained at
a reasonuble depth, but according
to the words of Col. 8. W._ Hitch,
of Waycross, we are alright. The
water comes within® 11 1 Zlft_. of
the top of the ground and is 1 easy
reach tor pumping. That tnere 1s
an abundant supply was demonstrat
ed yesterday when Mr.:Russell at
tached his steam force” pump and
worked it for several hours steady.
there was no perceptibleféiifi of
failure or even diminishing the sup
ply.
It is to be hoped that the officials
will, at ance take _steps to supply
the town, in fact, nothiug short of
that will satisfy those of the citizens
who are paying the bills. _.

CUT (HE WEEDS
The time for the awnual weed
cu'ting is upon us, many of the
streets present the dppearance of a
flower garden, bedecked with yellow.
The_ weeds are reaching almost
across the side walks in many places
making almost impossible for a lady
to go anywhere after a rain without
soiling her dress, The streets should
be given more attention, several
places in side walks have been brok
en almost apart by having heavy
loaas drawn across them, and some
of the broad crossings have never
had grades, making it extremely
rough on vehicles, oesides breaking
the lumber. -
The council seems to have fallen
into ‘about the same old rut Each
new council passes new resolutions
at the beginning of the year, only to
be allowed to drop into obscurity
as time goes on. What we need
worst of all is civic pride. The
city of Savannah had all weeds cut
a mouth ago. Our younger sister,
&t George has nice wide streets, set
with oaks, most of which are grow
ing nicely, besides a beautiful paik,
41l fenced and set with pecans. - ¢

manners and graces are saved. for
cleaned up occasions, says the NEW
IpEA WOMAN’s Magazine for Sep
tember. In the bosom of her fami
ly, in the kurry and bustle of the
kitchen, and in the domestic privacy
ot her own back-yard the code is
obliterated—forgotten. She 1s the
woman who goes to church every
Sunday with every ribbon and tuc
ker in its proper place, and who
runs about the house on all other
than company occasions in a slatt-
ernly, unbelted wrapper. She goss
ips with her washerwoman, and
is disagreeable to the grocer’s and
butcher’s boy, butshe hurries up
the back stairs and down the front
with a sweet smile when the min
ister calls, When her husband offers
her a chair she accepts it as a mat
ter of course, but she is profuse in
her thanks to Mr Brown. You know
the kind of woman. She has one set
of manners for the front door and
another for the back, and the latter
are bad manners. There ought to be
a school of back-yard manners, a
school which tcaches that self 1s
self, and that if the ugly, perverse
part of it appears at the back door,
after a time 1t will inevitably come
to the front. Back-yard and family
manners ought to be the best man
ners. If there are more trials in
the back-yard, more of life is spent
there than in the frout parlor; and
where most of life is spent, most
effort should be made to make it
agreeable. And it there are mors
trials with the family than with out
siders, there is more love there also.
and for the sake of love much may
be forgiven. And, best of all, back
yard manners pay. The woman
who is carefully courteous, whose
voice is centrolled, whose attitude
is sympathetic and kindly toward
her family and toward those who
do her service at the back door, ac
quires a poise and a genuine sym
pathy that make the assumption of
parlor graces vnnecessary. She is
the woman whom gossip cannot
reach nor malice touch. She has
mastered herself with her thorough
discipline in her back yard!
