MENLO ITEMS.
Mr Lucky Knox, one of our best
citizens ha« pa»»ed away eince last
w« pennad tha llama from Monlo.
In lifa, he wn« useful, in death his
examples are retroepected and
comidered n« near perfect as man
can attain. Ha had Buffered for
eeveral years almost constantly.
Ha was confined to his room three
weeks before his death and suf
fered intense pain all the time,
but he bore it all like a myrtar,
never murmuring. Those alone
who stood by his bedside know of
his suffering and they too know
the scene of the death of a true
Christian, who passed so quietly
to the one who gave him strength
to overcome all temptation and
trouble. He was loved by all who
knew him. The young asked his
advice and emulated his example.
The old consulted with him. In
deed wo will miss him. He wan
laid to rest in the Alpine cemetery
in the presence of a large congre
gation of sorrowing friends. Rev.
C. B. McLeod road a beautiful
scripture lesson in a very impres
sive manner. RevrMT L. Trout
man preached the funeral which
was full of comforting words to
the bereaved ones. Mr. Knox
needs no eulogy, as his pastor
said, for hie life speaks in words
that will not die till eternity shall
have come on us and we see him
in the “sweet bye and bye. He is
with us no more and we miss him,
but we feel the influence of his
spot) iss life drawing around ub
and encouraging us to press on
ward and serve our day and gen
eration as he did, tliatourend may
be like his. “Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord, for their
works do follow them.” Many
from different parts of the county

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1899.
CHATTOOGAVILLE, GA.
Tho legislature has gone through
with their routine of repealing
some of their last year laws, and
passing I fear local bills that have
not reduced taxes worth a cent.
Now I could reduce taxes by cut
ting salaries, wiping out a great
many of the offices, and consoli
dating others. I will venture to
say that if the offices of tax re
ceiver, collector and treasurer,
were consolidated there could be a
hundred good men found in Chat
tooga county that would take it
for the collector’s pay.
If there are any who cannot live
without help from the public crib,
they can be supported more eco
nomically at the county farm.
Let us dispense with our county
school commissioners visiting
schools at three dollars per day,
for that is indeed a costly luxury.
Let us have our public schools in
a shape that we can feel the
benefit of it or wipe it out one or
the other.
The way they have been run in
our district is of no benefit to the
poor children for whom the state’s
bounty was intended. When the
school is out the teacher after pre
tending to give us credit for the
public money, presents accounts
as large as they ought to be with
out it, that keeps a great many
out, the very children for whom it
was intended.
We know a poor widow who
makes her living for herself and
two children by hiring cut to
pick cotton in the cold, or take
any other work she can get, and
has been sued on one of the above
described school accounts.
We hope our board will seri
ously consider these things, and
let us have our schools in a shape
that wo can feel that we have been
benefitted or none at all. Let us
have no more schools taught by
teachers who have no license, pay
no more accounts that have not
been approved by the district
trustees.
The people have to comply with
the law in paying their taxes with
their hard earned money. With
much earnestness we beg for a re
form all along the line.

Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. George
D. Williams, of Manchester, Mich.,
tells how such a slave was made
free. He says: "My wife has been
so helpless for five years that she
could uot turn over in bed alone.
After using two bottles of Electric
Bitters, she is wonderfully im
proved and able to do her own
work.’’ This supreme remedy for
female diseases quickly cures nerv
ousness, sleeplessness, melancholy,
headache, backache, fainting and
dizzy spells. This miracle work
ing medicine is a godsend to weak,
sickly, run down people. Every
bottle guaranteed. Only 50 cents.

Rev. H. J. Adams Dies.
Conyers, Dec. 29.—News has
been received in this place from
St. Louis, Mo., of the death, last
Sunday, of Rev. Habersham J.
Adams, recent pastor of the Meth
odist church. Mr. Adama was one
of the most prominent ministers
of the Methodist conlerenca, both
because of his high moral attain
ments and his intellectual auperi
ority.
He held the position of confer
ence treasurer during the greater
part of his ministry, only resign
ing the place within the last
month. He acted as presiding
elder at various times and was
not only an able preacher, but one
of the very best of pastors, always
winning the confidence and es
teem of the entire community
where he worked.
Mr. Adame has been in failing
health for two years, and finally
being obliged to give up his work,
he left Conyers, his last charge, a
few weeks ago, to spend his re
maining days with his children in
St. Louis.
There will boa memorial ser
vice in the Methodist church at
11 o’clock next Sunday, January
1, to which all his friends are in
vited.
At the recent North Georgia con
ference Rev. Adams was put on the
superannuated list, and tho con
ference adopted touching resolu
tions on his retirement from the
active ministry. He was held in
high esteem by the conference and
was one of the best known mem
beis of the body.
The forger evidently believes
that imitation is the sincerest Bat
tery.
Pleasure that isn’t shared with
another loses half its power to
please.
