Next Sunday, May 13th, is <
day, set aside by President liar
ding as Mother’s Day,
People, we believe, do not see
the dire need and necessity of cele
brating just one day in a year for
th^ dearest and most blessed friend
man possess here on earth. It
true we say we have great regard
for our mother, if she is living, bui
when she has passed away from us
we then know fully well what
mother’s presence means.
What love is truer, surer and
more enduring than that of your
mother?
The War Department tells that
during the terrible conflict of the
World War that the men in action
who were in such peril continually
tbe dearest word in the language
was foremost in their thoughts,
"Mother.” How better can you
judge a man than when lie stands
face to face with everlasting mys
tery? eternal
Motherhood rests on the
bedrock of mother love and its
■walls are buiided up of mother
love, which no weapon can breach
For all we might be able to say we
could not possibly make it any
higher than it is; for Bince the first
child drew its first breath of life,
mother love has been a thing high¬
er than the stars and purer than
the skies of glory which it pierces,
^ben, what do you owe your moth
ft? Do you owe her just one day
a year set aside by the President
® observe? Of course you do,
then do it.
Here is what Thomas A. Edison
pays ; "My mother was the mak¬
ing of ine. She was so true, so
•ure of me; and I felt that I had
some one to live for; some one 1
must not disappoint.” Are you
trying to be as great as your moth¬
er desires you to be? No, if you
were the world would be much bet¬
ter.
Wrong thinking and wrong liv¬
ing keeps men from being the men
their mothers desires of them.
Don’t neglect your mother; don’t
.
fotget to give her the little kind¬
nesses, the thoughtful attentions,
the expressions of love that mean
ao much to her.
If your mother is living don’t
t forget to wear a red flower, prefer¬
ably a carnatiun; if she is dead
wear u white flower.
The Courier believes it’s editor¬
ial position is generally right or
such a plane that a large majority
,of its readers will sanction it. The
Courier, naturally, like every other
well conducted newspaper lhat is
doing or trying to do its duty, will
be found to not have the lull sup¬
port of a certain clique that does not
lavor or favors the public isues or
questions that are constantly aris¬
ing. This we care very little, pro¬
vided our position is right and for
the best interest of all concerned.
We have not knowingly permitted
ot columns to be used against any¬
thing that does not deserve all we
have given it and probably more
too.
During the past several months
The Courier has been very active
in agitating that the state
department needed a
"going over,” and to our
opinion, if justice is

when it so deserved praise,
condemned when it was need¬
ed. We know the state highway
department deserves praise for a
number of projects they have been
able to put through, but on the
other hand that does not say they
have not been guilty of many
things that the majority of the
people do not approve. The people
of Georgia have employed every
member of the State Highway,
that is, its their money. Haven’t
the people a right to talk?
That powerful and influential
metropolitan newspaber. The Atl¬
anta Constitution, carried an edi¬
torial Sunday, April 29th, dealing
with what they believe is tfie real
bottom to all the criticism against
1 he highway department. In some
instances they may have the situat¬
ion fairly well sumed up, but we
are ready to inform them that The
Courier has no political ax to grind,
neither are we aspiring for any po¬
litical honors, but we are only try¬
ing to have adjusted a very bad
system of one of Georgia’s most
important departments. The Con¬
stitution states that the insinuations
of graft or morial irregularities on
the part of the heads of the de¬
partment is unsupported by one
iota of sustanning fact and should
be reacted by every true individual.
The Courier does not know that
the department is guilty of graft
but we are informed that they will
be put in a very embarrassing
position when certain matters are
brought up for their explanation.
The Courier believes it is clear of
making any “unjust insinuations”
against any department, for our
arguments have so far been ignored
and so far remain unanswered. A
state-wide question is: Why is
75 % of money received from the
auto tax not used on actual main¬
tenance of the highways of Geor¬
gia? Are we making any “unjust
insinuations” ? The Courier fully j
well realizes it would have been
shriking its most sacred duty should j
the highway department issue been !
not discussed through its editorial
columns.
We fully well know
the highway now being construct¬
ed through our county marks n new
period in this section of the country,
but we are too familiar with the
many intrigues curried on in White
county for us to stand by idly and
let them go by untouched.
This paper supported to its ut¬
most the road bond issue, and in
our paper were strong appeals from
u number of the countys most influ
ential citizens, therefore, we told
our readers things we believed
would be done that haven’t been,
but God knows it is not our fault.
We are making "unjunt insinu¬
ations”, eb?
The highway department was
organized to serve the people and
not an automobile associotion or a
political clique and The Courier
will continue to do its best to sea
that the department is made to
serve the people, a«d we care little
who likes that position.
The Courier does not wish to
see the state highway department
abolished but only made clear from
the abominable politics that now
dominates it.

IN MEMORIUM
Dear loving wife, died February
37, 1923, age 44 years, 7 months
and 20 days. The cause of her
death was pneumonia. We do not
understand why God took her
home, but we know He had some
cause and knows what is best
about all things. Onie was buried
two months after she was taken
sick.
The death angle claimed my
loving companion and took her
home to be with Jesus. Onie was
not a member of the church, but
was a strong believer in church
work, she talked to her companion
aud children about being prepared
to meet death, Oh, what a conso¬
lation. She said she was going to
die and did not dread it, all she
hated was to leave Eddie and the
children, but she had to go and she
was ready to go, and wanted us all
to do right. She was married to
Eddie Bullock and of this union
were born eleven children; five
boys and six girls. How comfort¬
ing the thought when loved ones
pass an to know they have gave to
a beautiful reward in Christ.
She was a kind and loving wife
and mother ; did not have an enemy
as far as we knew ; gained friends
everywhere she went. Was born
July 7th, 1878. She and her com¬
panion were the same, but he is
seven years the oldest, they were
united in marrnge twenty-eight
years and six days before death.
She said she had two songs she
wanted sung over her cold body at
the church. She wolud go down
on her knees and pray before she
was confined to her bed, and said
she wanted to sing and pray all of
the time. She sent after some of
the young folks and they came and
she gave them a good talk, asked
some of them, and her son Johnnie
not to drink whiskey; asked them
stop and think about their souls.
Her son, Johnnie, said ‘‘ma 111a I
will not drink no more” and gave
her his right hand and it, said ‘‘ma
ma I am going to stick to it forever
more and be a man.”
Eddies loss is heavens gain. She
leaves to mourn her departure a
husband, Eddie Bullock, and ten
children, ten living, Bertha Jar
rard, Johnnie, Bessie Alexander,
Lessie, Clyde. Velma, Edward,
Paul, B. M., and little Mearl, two
months old baby. The funeral was
conducted by Rev. Huge at Holly
Springs church.
Just before the ijpd of time, she
said, when she leaves us she is
going up yonder and pointed up
and she called on Mr. John Wiley
to lead in prayer. It was God’s will
but it is hard to give her up, so
pray for me and my dear children.
Her companion,
Eddie Bulock.
Wife And Mother Is Gone
Forever Forever
Sung to the tune, will the ci(crel
be unbroken)
Once I had a preci his wife,
She was all the world to me
But now she's gone from hear to
heaven
Shall we meet beyond the sea?
CHORUS
Yes, we'll meet if we are faithful,
Beyond this rolling tide of life.
Yes, we’li meet beyond the river
When we’re done with toil and strife.
Yes, she’s gone and left her husband
and children
Left us here on earth to stay.
Till the Lord who sits far up in heaven
Shall call us one by one. away.
Just five boys and si* girls
She has left us all eleven here
While she’s gone to meet one other
She’s been gone near ten yeais.
The family again have done been
broken
Mother and sister are gone
And it wont be long if we are faithful,
Till we’ll joiu them in their song
Oh! won’t that be a happy meeting
When we all are gathered there.
Then we’ll sing redemption’s story
In that home so bright and fair.
And I'll say to all my children
And my darling wife, too.
Will you love and obey the savior
Till wife and daughter face we'll view ?
