Church Resolutions.
WHEREAS; the allwise God,!
our Heavenly Father, has seen tit ,
in his infinite wisdom to remove
from our midst our beloved Broth-;
tr, Benj. H. Campbell, who was
born on the 30th day of April. 1840, :
and passed from earth to Heaven |
on the 18th dav of March, 1914. |
He joined Town Creek Baptist
Church and was by that Ordained j
a Deacon. He was a faithful mem-;
ber and deacon of that Church un
til some fifteen or twenty years ago
when he joined the Mt. YonahBup
list Church, where hecontinued his
service to his Master and Church
until called, home on March the
19th.
He enlisted in the Confederate
Army in the spring of 1S61 and
served his country as a faithful
soldier for four years.
He was color bearer of his regi¬
ment and carred the colors of his
country as faithfully as was his
want to carry the colors of his
Master.
He was married to Miss Nancy
M. Adams on the 23rd day of Aug.,
1863, and was a faithful and loving
husband till his death.
His life, as a whole, was one
continual day of service to his God
and fellowmun, he had an unfalt¬
ering Christian faith that intensi¬
fied and brightened as he approach¬
ed the grave. In the latter years
of tiis life it seemed that he was
gently gliding pver the stream of
time from flic bosom of his friends
to the arms of his God. 1 le leaves
an aged wife, five children and a
number of grandchildren to mourn
the loss of a true, devoted and
Christian husband, father and
grandfather. But why mourn r
Diff? not someth trig "'""our in*
tel! us
There is a calm for those who
weep,
A rest for weary pilgrims found ;
And while the tnoldering ashes
sleep
Low in the ground,
The soul of origin divine,
God’s glorious image freed from
•clay,
In Heaven’s eternal shpere shall
shine
A star of day.
Upon the anchor of immortality
we base all our hopes. It is the
rainbow of promise shining
through the tears of grief. This
divine hope of a heavenly reunion
comforts our souls in the hour of
desolation and robs death of its
sting and the grave of its victory.
A husband, father, grandfather,
and brbther is gone from our midst
and although the voice of a friend
indeed is bushed and a familiar
face is missing, yet
Why do the shadows oftenest come
Where other shadows are?
Why do the hoards of anguish
follow*
Hard on the heels of care?
Stop! Let us reflect. Christian¬
ity and revealed religion teaches
us and taught him
To the dead he sayeth, arise;
To the living, follow me;
And the voice still soundeth on
From the centuries that are gone
To the centuries that shall he.
That voice has called our friend ;
it has called him higher to “Follow
Me,” and he has obeyed.
Therefore, be it resolved.
First, That the Church hereby
tenders the bereaved wife, children
and grandchildren its heartfelt
sympathy in their sad hour of trial
and bereavement. Mourn not as
in despair, you did all y r ou could for
.husband and father. God has tak
-en him. You cannot recall him,
but by the Grace of God you can
meet him around the great white
-throne,
Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County
Bear Ye One Another's Bardens.
(From Manufacturers Record.)
This Divine Command must be
heeded now. It would be folly to
shut our eyes to the tremendous
losses which tire world must meet,
Untold billions in wealth are being
swe pt away, and untold billions in
men, more previous in
value than all material things -
young men, strong, clear-minded,
the very fullest fruition of Europe's
civilization are being destroyed,
The financial loss, is overwhelming
j„ magnitude, and the loss in roan
hood through suffering,disease and
death, the loss in all the higher and
holier attributes of man no human
mind can grasp and no human pen
can ever tell.
This loss must be widely distrib¬
uted that the world may stand the
shock. Every man in this,country'
must bear his share of the bur¬
den or else be a burden shirker.
Here and there exceptional condi¬
tions may yield exceptional results,
but in one wuv or another, the far¬
mer must carry his part of the load,
the merchant his and the mamifac
turer Ins, Monev-making for the
sake of money-making must give
way to maintenance of business,
that people may be given employ¬
ment. and that every business inter¬
est may be ready to go forward on
a large scale when the time comes,
as surely it will, for big money¬
making. Men must learn to bear
each other’s burdens; the hanker
must realize that this is no time fi r
calling loans; t he borrower must
strive to the utmost of his ability to
pay his loans in part, at least ; the
manufacturer, the merchant and all
others must do what they can lor
the common good, content if they
firry I
burden and be ready , to do busi¬ ,
ness for money-making when
ditions make ready -for a great
burst of activity.
Face to face with the horrors
such as civilization lias never
known, the most awful toll that
death has ever claimed, men
be sobered by this glimpse into the
very gates of hell, and strive to be
less selfish and more ready than
ever before to bear one another’s
burdens.
The burden can be carried if
thus properly distributed, and if
this be done we shall be made
ready for the day of activity when'
the sunrise of coming prosperity
begins to flood the hills.

CLEVELAND, GEORGIA, SEPT. 11, 1914.
Puts Ban On War Talk.
The aggressive and hustling
little city of Barwick, which is
just completing the erection of a
modern gin house locally owned to
take the place of one recently burn¬
ed which was owned by foreign
capital, has >el the south Georgia
section on fire by a recent ordin¬
ance. passed bv their city council.
I’liev were in the midst of the
organization of a business college
which required the raising of
^ 1250.00 by the local people when
the war broke. 'War talk interfer¬
ed with the progress of the Boos¬
ters. Council was called in session
and a fine of .fc-y.no was assessed on
every one caught talking war on
the public streets. It put a quietus
on war talk and all money which,
was collected from the fines was
turned over by the city to the
treasurer of the Boosters Club.

Negro Goes To Jail.
Henry Powell (colored) got
drunk at (or near by) KockSprings
Campmeeting last Sunday and did
the old and semi-savage stunt of
making a fellow-negro dance at
the point of two six-shooters, and
then shooting at his toes as he
danced—at least, so the story goes.
Deputy-sheriff Gibson concluded
there was just a little too much fun
in the game to be called negro
orderliness on a Sabbath day on!
holy grounds and vicinity, and in¬
terfered by arresting him. His
pleasure became red-hot rligc and
it became , necessary ior Mr. ,, Gibson
to give him a severe blow on the
he,ad to reduce his pulse, !
It was by sheer force of several
men that lie was put on the train
and brought to Cleveland where he
was placed in the county jail.
Dental Notice.
I will be in Cleveland, Ga., doing dental work at the
“Yonah House" from the 1st to 10th of each month till I am
permanently located.
I have had considerable experience and I will guarantee
all my work, and I solicit the patronage of all, and I shall en¬
deavor to render the best of services. «
I he old adage is true, “A stitch in time saves nine," and
it is very true in Dentistry, Don't wait till your teeth ache,
have them examined beforehand, and thereby save yourself of
suffering the agony of death, and after that your dental bill is
m0rC t0 tfCat tH ° Se teeth before ^ng.
Have the Childrens' teeth cared for. Don't let the little
fellows suffer with toothache.
Respectfully Yours,

‘Stop, Look, Listen.
Many automobile drivers are
daily “flirting with death” by
tailing to observe the highway re¬
initiation. “stop, look, listen,"
when approaching railway cross¬
ings. declares Engineer M. C.
Glenn, of Southern railway, who
makes a plea that people using
the public roads take some consid¬
eration of the feelings of engineers
a- well as be more careful of their
own safety.
“4 esterday 1 was engineer on
Southern Railway train No. 10S
and at \\ illiams Crossing, which
is about four miles west of Raleigh,”
says Mr. Glenn, “I only missed
striking an automobile about two
seconds, and in this automobile
were grown people and children.
If 1 had struck the automobile and
killed or injured those people some
one would have said that the engi
I ,et-r failed t<> blow, etc., when in
ct, 1 had just sounded the whistle
fir Thompson, answered a signal
|om i^oad the conductor, and had blown
crossing signal. The bell
was tinging also, but the driver of
.'In- auto evidently did not hear any
■M. the signals for when I came in
•jblil of him, which was for a short
finance on account of a curve in
tJffe track, the driver averted a col
won by suddenly cutting his car
tip he right and I passed within
or i a feet of him.”
Ir. Glenn calls attention to the
that if divers of automobiles
other conveyances would ob
the rule’M'stop, look, listen,”
n appr0tir.limg railijutid cross
tie y would safeguard their
as well o* other people’s; lives

RUSSELL SAGE.
Sage was one or a family of six, and at
the age of fifteen was working in a
Grocery fitore at $4.00 per month. By
careful saving and business Judgment in
early life, he accumulated enough money
to embark in the Wholesale Grocery
Business with a man named Bates, and
in five years bought him out paying
$150,000.
At the age of twenty-eight, Sage first
showed his remarkable ability as a
speculator. Several barges conveying
wheat by way of the Erie Canal to New
Vovk were frozen in the ice by early
cold weather. .Rather than lose all, as
they thought, tiu; owners sold out to
young Sage at a great reduction. The
next day there came a thaw, and the
wheat went to market bringing the
young speculator a profit of $50,000.
Soon afterward Sage sold out his
wholesale business, and went to New
York, and began speculating in stocks
and his wonderful success is world¬
wide knowledge.
Ko died leaving a fortune of over $100,
000 , 000 ,
