The four essential things lor a

is the great foundation on which

That day was first observed on the
rock bound New England coast by
the Pilgrim fathers, who had fled
from England to seek religious
freedom. They Imd gone through
a very rough winter and a great
part ol them had died from hunger
and cold. In the spring they plant¬

TOM HELL, S HE MAN OF
THE Horn.
(Jackson Herrfii)
Tom Bell was barn in White
county, and came along during tne
first few years subsequent' to the
ending of the Civil war. and as bis
parents did not have much of this
world’s goods, he had to work
hard to obtain a common school
educat iou.
YVe see him first teaching a
country school before he was quite
fifteen years of age. There are
hundreds of peoph- now grown,
with families, who attended uis
his schools, who profited by his
children teachings, and today his they and Eater their j
revere name. 1
we see him in the marts of trade, j
• mailing the fist of traveling sales- j
men for 44 years in several South- |
■;rn states, and all along the line ol
natch lie made staunch friends.
who will never forgot his generous
hough; and kindly interest. lie
.siijoyeil, as otJters did, the fruits ol
tis labors and the confidence of till
who knew him. Next we see him
is Clerk ol the Supci iyi Court ol J
his adopted county, and many will '
rear testimony of Ins good work in !
his capacity. YVe now see him in ,
lie hulls of the l. oiled Sta'es Con
gress, where he is regarded as one !
d the leaders, being l>i- ri of tht t
Georgia delegation, and as a stal 1
•vart friend of the common peoplt
>f 'his country. If it wen* possiba !
to recount the multitude of worth) j
things he has done, it would main
t volume tremendous in ns propor
ions. His natural ft ieudiinc*s to- 1
lesire ward humanity, his unappeasabL j
to make his work and life a
success, together with his indomit¬
able energy, has caused the people
10 feel and to know that he i
worthv of their full confidence ami
jstee.n. He has been honored niori
liau any man in Georgia, and is its
.leserving of such honors as ant
nan living today. He lias, in al
probability, done mote for the peo¬
ple be has served than any man it
public file. *
It is a source of great pleasure u
ill the people of our stale, especial
iy in our immediate section, that
we In.ve a man of Jiis capacity, l<
nan ot such persu .sivc power*, 1
nan of such energy and thoughtful
ness, and a man of such foresight.
Individuality and poise arelhe ear¬
marks of nobility and .strength,and
these characteristics are note wort It)
in the life of Tom Bell. His plain,
simple life, his i-nierest iu the less
fortunate, his loyalty to his family
uul friends,make for him a char,10
.er and life we should not fail to
honor and esteem. The name ot
Tom Bell is a household word fi¬
ll! tliis country, and we sincerely
rusl lie may continue to exert his
power and influence for the peoplt
tie loves so well.
Very truly.
