swindling th_é; paople are the ones
we are talking about. A few years
ago an agent came through selling
the rustic pear, recommended to be
a good keeper, good to eat and of tho
finest quality—and sold at a fancy
price.
Many through the ecountry bought
this pear and they are now bearing
—you can see them hanging on the
trees as you pass along the roadl.
They are absolutely unfit for use in
any way., Even the hogs won't eat
them, It was a straight out swindle.
Ought there not be some recourse
for the purchaser? And this is not
the only fruit tree swindle that has
gone through the country. '

REV GEORGE LETT LAMONT GOR- -
The Rev. George L. L. Gordon, of
Cartersville, died on Saturday, No
vember 28th. He had lived in that
place just six years. He must have
been an exceptional character and
of wonderful magnetism. He was
strong with gentleness, and broad
without losing in depth and rich
ness. He was a true minister, sim
ple and humble, and yet it was pub
licly said, and 1 was told by a num
ber of men whose names, I do not
know, that he was the greatest man
in Cartersville, and more loved than
any other. He was rector of a con
gregation of about forty, and yet
it was said emphatically that his
influence for good was greater than
any other man in the city. An ex
ception was made, and instead of
adhering to the simple gervice, we
granted a request made by the Meth-~
odst and Presbyterian ministers
that they be allowed to bear a testi
mony. 1 never heard such glorious
testimony to the faithfulness of this
witness bearer of Christ. After it
was over, a special visitor came from
the Baptists to say how sorry they
were that they did not have their
minister to speak for them, for hLa
and they had loved Mr. Gordon.
As an evidence of love, hear this.
A few weeks ago when he was visit
ing the home of a friend seven miles
out, he went into their private cem
etery and meditated. Later he made
an earnest request that he be allow
ed a place there when he passed
away. It was granted. This gentle
man told the family of it at his.
death. All arrangements were made,
the grave was dug. A committee of
twentyfive citizens were protesting.
They represented the city. Mr. Gor
don belonged to them all they ask
ed the privilege and urged it, that
they be allowed to purchase, and
present to the family, a lot in the
city cemetery, and to make every
arrangement for the burial of the
body. This was done. To Have
Scrved; to Have Loved and to Be
Loved: a great life and a great re

Scythe Was a Fixture.
Three years ago last summer oid
Bill Shiftless got an industrious streak
on and concluded he would cut suome
- weeds in his back yard. He went to a
} neighbor’s house and borrowed a
scythe. When Bill got it back home
he was all fagged out and hung the
scythe over the limb of a peach tree
and told his wife he would wait until
morning to mow the weeds. I passed
by Bill’s house yesterday and the
scythe was still hanging over the
same limb.--Kanscs City Star.
