When they (old me that God had

I felt that he had taken myall.
With grief and tears long I cher

Before I could learn to say,
Dear Lord Thy will be done, t’was

And "I is 'Thee that taketli away.
'Then I hear his sweet spirit say,
Mamma, grieve not for me,
For I’ve found a friend w ho is all
to me,
His love is ever true;
Saved by His power divine,
My life is now complete.
So trust in Him and He will guide
you all the way,
To new life sublime;
To our home eternal with Him,
Where we will all meet again.

PEABSOX TRIBUNE, APRIL 12, 1918
PEARSON’S PATRIOTISM.
It is Cheaper to Win Than to
Lose the WJr.
Pearson put on holiday attire
last Saturday and made some noise
in proclaiming that the sale, of
Third Liberty Loan Bonds was
ready to proceed.
A real patriotic rally w as launch
ed and the program of exercises
successfully carried out. Several
enthusiastic patriots had improvis
ed some very suggestive floats for
the parade which took place at
10:JO o’clock.
The parade formed on Roberts
street in front of the school build
ing and proceeded north along
Meeks street to Austin, west to
Church street, north to Railroad
avenue, west to King street, south
to Austin, east to Main, north to
Railroad avenue, east to Church,
south to Roberts and east to start
ing point.
The column formed in the fol
lowing order;
An automobile lloat of Rev. 0.8.
Tally representing an American
submarine chaser; in this float
rode Dr. H. P. Smith, chairman,
and other members of the Liberty
Loan committee.
Voting ladies dressed to repre
sent American Red Cross nurses.
An automobile float of Prof. Geo.
H. Padrick representing an Ameri
can Aeroplane.
Pearson Boy Scouts.
A buggy float of the Tribune
representing “Liberty enlightening
Hit* world,” Miss Eva (Lillis was
the Goddess of Liberty; this lloat
was drawn by a white mule driven
by a small boy, Randolph Kirkland,
astride the mule and dressed as
Lucie Sam.
Pupils of Pearson public school.
An automobile float of Mr. Ed
gar Parker representing a trans
port carrying American heroes to
France.
Pupils of Sat ilia Park public
school, with their teachers.
An automobile lloat represent
ing Satilla Park school and carry
ing its banner.
Patrons of Satilla Park school.
An automobile float of Dr. B. S.
Malone, bearing the Motto: "It is
cheaper to win than to lose the
war.”
Just as the column reached Rail
road avenue on its return to the
starting point a fast train with
soldier boys aboard, going south to
some encampment, passed along
and they hail a plain view of the
marchers and especially that part
representing the Red Cross. The
hoys in khaki gave a rousing “three
cheers" as their train sped on its
way.
The speaking took place in the
large school auditorium owing to
the blustery, threatening weather.
It was a rich program, to which it
was well worth one’s time to go
and hear; the audience wa> a large
one.
Chairman Smith, of the commit
tee, presided and read out the
program.
Col. G. 11. Mingledorff was the
first speaker and was followed in
order by Col. J. J. Willingham, of
Douglas; Rev. O. B. Tally, of Pear
son; Rev. R. A. Brown, of Waycross.
While sitting on the rostrum,
owing to defective hearing, the ed
itor caught very little of what the
first three gentlemen had to say.
However, he is told that ail three
of the speakers were entertaining
and instructive, giving out much
valuable information and breathed
the t rue American spirit of patriot
ism.
When Mr. Brown began to speak
the editor came down and sat. on a
front seat in the auditorium and
heard Mr. Brown very well. 'The
keynote of w hat he had to say was
that America was not in this war
of her own seeking, it was forced
upon her by the most desperate
and dangerous demoniacs the world
j has ever produced; so far as Ameri
ca and the Allies are concerned it,
is a righteous war, abundantly
sanctioned by the Word of God;
that God, the Christ and the Holy
Spirit was in it, the result to be
obtained —the world made free
and better; not only is our govern
ment and its head, President WiJ-
Study in Tick Eradication.
After exhibiting at Willacoochce
in the forenoon the long expected
study in cattle raising and tick
eradication was with us at the
school auditorium Wednesday aft
ernoon. The exhibition and lect
ures consumed nearly two hours
of time, was not only diversional
but exceedingly instructive; many
of the young people, as well as the
older ones, present showed more
t han ordinary interest in the study.
Mr. F. 11. Abbott was introduced
and made a short preparatory talk.
He wanted to get the minds of the
audience fixed upon the subjects
to be thrown on the screen.
By way of diversion and as an ad
vertisement for the Delco Lighting
System, that furnished the light
for the exhibition, a reel of a very
pretty romance was presented. It
was followed by the reel study of
tick eradication, which was ex
plained by Mr. Abbott as it pro
ceeded. Dr. J. F. Fahey, an 1. S.
vetenavian, followed with a lucid
and effective lecture on the neces
sity for immediate tick eradication.
It must be done if we are to keep
pace with the industrial and com
mercial procession.
The study concluded, an unani
mous vote of thanks was tendered
the Georgia Land Owner’s Associ
ation under whose auspices the en
tertaining and instructive study is
being given at every available
school building in South Georgia.
Mr. Alex. Sessoms, of Cogdell, is
its president, and Mr. F. H. Al)
liott, secretary, with headquarters
at Waycross.
Mr. Abbott made many compli
mentary remarks about Pearson,
her school and school building.
He tarried long enough to get
photos of the Pearson and visiting
schools, taken separately.
County demonstrator, G. B. Eu
nice, accompanied the party on its
visits to the Coffee county schools.
son, expecting that every Ameri
can citizen shall make substantial
and needed sacrifice to win the
war, but God is calling upon them
to be used us instruments in His
hands for purifying the world. The
address made a profound impres
sion upon all his hearers, and the
Tribune believes awaked them to
a realization of their responsibility
in (his crisis.
Satilla Lodge, F. & A. M., has
bought a SIOO Liberty Loan Bond
and will probably buy several more
should il become necessary at this
time. The Odd Fellows and the
Woodmen of (he World lodges will
also buy bonds. 'They are good
investments for idle money.
A letter from James I’alford to
his parents, postmarked at Phila
delphia, states that his command
was on route somewhere, he dill not
know where, but suspected that
they were on their way to France.
The soldier boys will be going
across the pond rapidly from
henceforth to the end of the con
flict. (J o( i, save our boys.
Mr. B. IL Tanner is hauling
crossties to Pearson as a shipping
point, using a “Quad Jeffrey"
motor truck. It brings 25 ties at
a load, (could haul 50 at a load
were the bridges strong enough),
and makes six trips a day. The
mule and darky question is settled,
but good roads and bridges must
keep it settled. Mr. Tanner was
in tne city today.
Lnder Ihe sanction of the city
council an attempt is to be made,
under the leadership of Rev. < >. B.
Tally, to organize a home guard
military company in Pearson. Mr.
Tally is gathering all the obtain
able data in regard to what the
status of a home guard company
would be, and expects to secure a
home guard officer to address the
people on the subject next Wednes
day evening. The Tribune ap
proves the movement; as it has
said before, military training is
the best of physical exercise, and
il would do the old men and the
young men immense good to take
it. By all means let us have the
home guards.
