VOL. XVIII, No 7 .]
White County Is Our Home,
And Shall Be Till We Die.
White county is as good a county
as there is in the state of Georgia
and we should stand by it as long
as we live. Boost her up and the
rest will come. I will say that I
have seen as much of the world as
any man in the county. I believe
if we cooperate one with another
we will be all right, but if go one
against the other we lose our grip.
If you cannot say a good word for
your county, just keep your mouth
from talking. If we talk up our
county we will all be benefitted;
stand strictly for law and order
and the greater will be our
peace and happiness, and the rest
of the world will say, “They are
a good people and I would like to
live amoungst you.” Be honest
with yourself and your fellowman
will be honest with you, and if you
have any roses to throw on your
fellowinan’s grave throw them
while he lives. Three men may
build but one can destroy faster
than the whole. Let .peace and
good will be your motto. Let us
have more obedience to law in our
community, and stand for what is
right that the young may follow in
our footsteps. If we are having
hard times it is our fault as we each
make the bed upon which we must
lie, but we should try to keep our
brother from suffering by cheering
him up and encouraging him not
to grieve after spilled milk but try
again. Just keep a smiling face
for everybody and you will see how
soon the change will come. Some
people say firings about their fel
lofvmati which cause hard feelings.
Just say it to his face in a kind way
and he will think more of you;
just think how we are in our own
faults. Kind words never die.
Adieu.
Death Saddens Home in Clermont.
Died at his home in the little
city of Clermont, Hall county, last
Thursday, Nov. 30th, at 6 .30 A.M
little John David McDonald son of
Mr. and Mrs.- W. B. McDonald,
aged seven years. He was sick
with acute bright’s disease only
three days when the death angel
lifted his tiny soul from this trouble
some world on flowery beds of ease
to the world of every blessed peace.
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to heaven conveyed,
And bade it blossom there.
The funeral was held at Pender¬
grass on Friday at xi o’clock, Rev.
Verdell conducting the funeral ser¬
vices, Other than the family to
accompany the corpse from Cler¬
mont to its last resting place were
Mrs. J. M. Haynes, Mrs. Rudisill,
Miss Clara Head and Mr. T. C.
Patterson, and these were joined at
Gainesville with many others.
Thus over a happy home the
shawdow of a tiny grave has fall¬
en, and the weeping mother won¬
ders what depth the shadows can
penetrate and finds them unfathom¬
able. The beautiful life of thechild
was so fraught with blessings to bis
parents that he seemed a flower of
paradise permitted to bloom but for
a brief season by their side, then
recalled to its nature skies leaving
earth’s road for them lonely and
dark.
Not only is the sympathy of the
town extended the parents in their
deep sorrow but their friends and
acquaintances everywhere feel deep¬
ly the sorrow they suffer.

IN MEMORIUM,
Mrs. Gertrude Elrod, wife of Mr.
A. L. Elrod, departed this life
Nov. 2, 1916, and was laid to rest
in Chattahoochee cemetery Nov. 4,
1916, in presence of a large con¬
course of friends and relatives,
Rev. W. R. Power conducting the
funeral services in a very sympa¬
thetic and touching manner. She
was married to Mr, A. L. Elrod
August 24, 1909, and of this union
was born three children, two of
whom are living, one five years of
age, one five months old. She join¬
ed the Baptiste hurch at Habersham
Mills in 1908. She lived a true
Christian life, emulating the life of
Christ, in her home and everyday
life. She was the daughter of
Samuel Roberts of Habersham
county. She was a good wife, a
kind and loving mother, Though
young in years she suffered greatly
the last few months of her life with
that awful disease, pellagra. She
was twenty-three years of age and
bore her great affliction wj.tb Christ¬
ian patience and fortitude. Mrs.
Gertrude had a very amiable dis¬
position and was hopeful in her
nature, always looking upon the
sunny side of life, scattering bright
sunshine and gladness along her
pathway. Her last days on earth
were days of awful suffering, and
it was during this peried of her life
that she displayed the beautiful
grace of patient submission to God’s
will and found Christ to be her
strength and comforter. She died
in the Christian faith and went
home to live with her blessed re¬
deemer and her baby gone before,
there to rest from all her suffering
and to await the coming of her hus¬
band, her daughter, Mary Lou, the
dear little babe, father, mother,
brothers and sisters, and her dear
mother-in-law who did so much
for her during her last days on
earth. She leaves a host of friends
to mourn her departure. The
bereaved family have our heartfelt
sympathy,
