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. _.

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. - ¢ BACK-YARD MANNERS = > . ; : .

Woman wh.age social etiquett= is donned with her shepoon ek st #u her tron patrior; 1‘“?‘1 T 0 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! FOLKSTCN, GA THUSEDAY, AUGUST 13, 1908. COUNTY COUIRE AT g 7 .
