An Aged Mother Has Passed Away.
Mrs. Frances Skelton died at the
home of her son, Mr. Ed. Skelton,
in White Creek district, Tuesday,
May 6, and her remains were laid
to rest in White Creek cemeteiy
Wednesday following, Rev. Gar¬
ner of Habersham county, who is
pastor of White Creek church
where her membership was held,
conducted the funeral services in
very appropriate words in presence
of her family of nine whose eyes
were bat lied in tears, and whose
hearts were stripped of joy.
ThisChristian mother had attain¬
ed the ripe old age of 84 years,
leaves nine members of her family
of ten—eight sons and one daught¬
er—fifty-eight grandchildren, and
thirty-nine great-grandchildren,and
a host of friends to mourn her de¬
parture from their presence. Mrs.
Skelton was born and raised in
Hart county, married there and
came to White county forty-nine
years ago. She joined the Baptist
church in youth, and walked the
path of righteousness, vigilant and
strong in the faith, down her long
journey in life to the end. A life
flowing with happiness and radiant
with Christian joy—what more
could be had? Well may her
children cherish her memory as a
precious legacy, and remember at
all times, and under all conditions,
Iter oft repeated and impressive
admonitions for their guidance in
this life, that they may still be
strengthened and led by the love
of this Christian mother.

THE VICTORY SONG.
, (Tune ‘-Glory. Glory Hallelujah ')
’Tis the year of Centenary that has come on golden wing.
Mark the dawning of its splendor, hear the bells of glory ring!
And our battle cry of Missions, to the breezes now we fling,
As time goes marching on.
‘Tis the glorious Centenary,
Glorious, glorious Centenary,
‘Tis the glorious Centenary,
That now goes marching on.
•Tis the hand of our Jehovah that has turned the clock of time.
•Tis God’s will the Centenary coifies within this year sublime—
‘Tis His will, and Ile'luis summoned us to enter every clime,
As we go marching on.
Singing glory, hallelujah—
Glory, glory, hallelujah—
Singing glory,hallelujah—
As we go marching on.
And the sweep of our great vision is now widening ns the world—
We are planet-planning-people, and our banners are unfurled,
And the shafts of Christian brightness at the heathen darkness hurled.
As Christ goes marching on.
‘Tis our glorious Redeemer,
Jesus, Jesus oui Redeemer.
•Tis the whole wide world’s Redeemer
That now goes marching on.
When the earth’s vast, teeming millions shall 11 is wondrous name have
heard,
And all nations, kindreds, peoples shall he conquered by His Word,
Like the sound of many waters, praises to our Living Lord,
As heaven goes marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah—
Glory, glory, hallelujah—
Glory, glory, hallelujah—
As heaven goes marching on.
Black Leg of Cattle.
A number of farmers in the
Naccochee Valley report the loss
of cattle. The cause of which is
not known. i understand the
Valley has had an outbreak of
Black Leg in the past and with a
few words about the disease far¬
mers may be able to prevent it.
Black Leg is a rapidly fatal
disease of young cattle under two
years old. Older cattle are rarely
affected. The disease developes in
pastures which are swampy or
poorly drained. Most common in
warm weather and following a
rainy season.
The direct cause is a vegetable
organism, microscopic in size, and
is capable of living in moist earth
for several years.
Symtoms:
The appearance of a swelling,
containing gas, and which will
crackle when pressure is applied to
it. Fever, depression and loss of
appetite, and in many cases lame¬
ness, especially when the swelling
located on a limb. The swelling
spreads and deepens rapidly. When
opened the muscular tissue is black
or red.
Treatment: Nearly all affected
animals die. All cattle between
the ages of six months and two
years on pastures known to be in¬
fected and in the immediate vicin¬
ity of such pastures should be vac¬
cinated.
This is a serious disease among
cattle, sheep and goats. The state
law is very strict on requirements
to control this disease. If you
think black leg is in your section
consult a veterinarian, see or write
me at Cleveland.
