Mr. C. II. Allen. He vv^ts seventy
seven years old. He was taken
sick with dropsey last April and
fought the grim monster, death,
until January 6. The day had pass¬
ed and the sun had sunk behind the
western hills, and twilight had
veiled itself in deeper night, while
the friends and kindred sat watch
ing as the hours went by until about
the third watch in the night when
the critical hour arrived when the
bar was broken,the jewel was gone
and the dauntless sprit wafted its
way to the God who gave it. His
course is finished. He fought a
good flight, and lie has gone to
wear his crown. He joined the
Methodist church at ten years of
age, and upon reaching manhood
to Miss Rindy Nix. This home
was hissed with seven bright child¬
ren, six of whom with their mother
mourn the loss of the husband and
father, lie will be missed by
friends and neighbors.

CLEVELAND, GEORGIA, JAN. 14,-1916.
To The People 0! White County.
I will be in the race for Ordinary
at the comiug election. If elected
1 will do my best to make a good
Ordinary, I am well qualified to
ff’ll the otlice. I want the votes of
all, both rich and poor, saint and
sinner. My lise is too far spent
and the judgment day too near at
hand for me to do anything wrong
should the voters see fit to elect me
I am going to treat, and I ask my
friends to de the same, my oppon¬
ents with kindness. They have
just as good right to make the race
as I have. Their feelings are just
as good as mine. I have had a
strong solicitation to make the race
if 1 had not 1 would not come into
the race. 1 hereby promise to sup¬
port the candidates who are nom¬
inated. I always have voted for
the choice of the people, good of¬
ficers, always have had, and trust
always will have.
Yours respectfully,
L. G. Ash.
Nix Doctrine,
The year 1916 has appeared, and
how lias it found us? Has it found
us trying to make our country good
citizen, trying to treat our fellow
man and woman as we would have
them to treat us? That is whnt we
are commanded to do.
'This is a question for each and
every one to consider. If we have
spoken evil of our neighbor, or have
done unto them as we would not
have them do unto us, it is high time
we were geting down on our knees
and ask God for forgiveness, That
is what we will have to do if we
ever reach the pearly gate. It makes
r.o difference who we are or what
our name may be, God placed 11s
all here for a purpose, we know
not what, but above all things res¬
pect old age, unlearned and ignor¬
ant. If there are any such char¬
acters around you speak of them in
gentle and kind tones. Such brings
happiness, but harsh words bring
about wrath and trouble.
All good citizens speak gentle
and kind and never try to injure
those who have not had the chance
in life they have had. Some have
the chance of an education while
others have not, and I believe from
the depth of my heart that hell is
awaiting with the entrance wide
open for the person with good sense
who tries to down and trample un¬
der fool their less intelligent or
more ignorant human beings. I be¬
lieve that if there are degrees in
hell the place of this class will be
the hottest.
Now, let us all make the year
1916 the best in history for White
county. It is just with us. We
can do this by doing unto others as
we would have them do unto us,
and it would be well for us to get
down on our knees and ask God to
help us, and teach us how to do and
to act, and I feel sure that it would
lie safer than to do as some of us do
'Flie devil may inspire us to think
that it will not do, but let 11s all try
it for the first six months and see if
we don’t get along better, and it
would be well to practice it as long
as we live, for the Bible says, “If
a man gdin the whole world and
lose his own soul, vyliqt jwoplff be
give for his soph” A s much as to
say if r man misses heaven, he has
missed it all.
With best wishes to all.
LOST—One red heifer three years
old past, marked a smooth crop and
a hole in left ear and swallowfork
in right. Hanged in Blue Ridge
district last summer.

Oppose Abolition of Treasurer’s Office,
With reference to your state¬
ment in your last issue that our rep¬
resentative will abolish the office of
county treasurer at the next meet¬
ing of ihe legislature 1 wish to say
that 1 know, as every other citizen
knows, that this office dose not pay
very much and the holder can not
be made rich by having it, but every
little is a help,’’ and men who hold
that office are usually unable to do
manual labor. For this reason 1
do not see why our representative
wants to abolish the office, and 1
am asking him for an explanation,
and state why he believes this will
help the county. Where does he
propose to transfer this salary?
Respectfully,
L. (T- Meadeks.
