Io Memoriam.
In memory of our baby. Norman,
who died almost four months ago.
Go to thy rest, my child,
Go to thy dreamless bed;
Gentle and meek and mild,
With blessings on thy head.
Fresh roses in thy hand,
Buds on thy pillow laid;
Haste from this fearful land
Where flowers so quickly fade!
’Ere thy heart might learn
In waywardness to stray;
’Ere thy feet might turn
The dark and downward way.
’Ere sin might wound thy heart,
Or sorrow wake the tear;
Rise to thy home of light
In yon celestial sphere.
Mama.
Cemetery Working.
It has been decided to clean up
the cemetery at Antioch on Tues
day, the 20th of August, Tuesday
of next week.
Let everybody who has an inter
est there come and help us, and
don’t leave your grave for others
to look after and clean.
The cemetery is a large one and
it will require a quantity of work
to put it in good order. Hence
the necessity of everyone having
an interest to do their share of the
work. Respectful ly,
J. L. Sutton,

on the 30th for China, where she
w ill do missionary work under the

Off to the War.
Rev. George P. Pad rick returned
to Pearson from Savannah last
Sat unlay.
He had received two notices:
One was that his commission as ru
ral mail carrier at Pearson had ar
rived and needed attention. The
other was an order for him to ap
pear at Douglas on Tuesday, the
13th, to take the physical examin
at ion for army service.
He felt like he was well between
Scylla and Carvbdis.
Unlucky day! He went to Doug
las on Tuesday, passed the exam
ination, and immediately left for
home to complete preparations for
going to Camp Gordon on the2Gth.
Mr. Pad rick has been a resident
of Pearson for nearly two years,
and had endeared himself to all
the people, young and old, and
they are sorry it fell to his lot to
go to the army r .
He, perhaps, could have kept
out of the army for a long while
yet if he had taken advantage of
his exemptions, but these he waiv
ed and has gone to do his “bit”for
God and humanity.
The prayers of this people will
go with him wherever he goes, as
well as the other boys -who have
preceded him to the service of
their country. May they soon re
turn their homes and friends.
PEARSON TIMBINL, IMZAICI.'.i; mom: : 1U;. 'Jf r L. ID ID
From Hon. C. E. Stewart.
Atlanta, Ga„ August, 14.
To (he people of Coffee county:
On account of the recent passage
of a Bill by the Legislature giving
to Atkinson county a representa
tive in the next legislature, it will
be impossible for me to make the
race for representative from Coffee
county.
I wish to thank my many friends
for their past support and their as
surance of a continuance of same.
1 also wish to assure my friends
that one of our friends, whom we
can all support and trust, will be
in the race.
1 will be home in a few days
and will make as strenuout a fight
in the ranks for my friends as I
have ever made, leading our forces
for the best interests of our coun
ty and State.
Respect fully,
C. K. Stewart.
Habeas Corpus.
Messrs. Dickerson & Mingledorff
had business in Douglas Wednes
day, representing a habeas corpus
proceeding before Ordinary Ward
which they had brought in behalf
of the youngest daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. L. Cotuson,who mar
ried a man by the name of Adams.
There was one child boru of this
marriage, but the parents did not
live together very happily.
The wife was compelled to sepa
rate herself from the husband and
return to her parents. The hus
band, although expecting to be
called to the army at any time, be
ing in class one, insisted on keep
ing the custody of the child and
refused to let her have it, she be
mg in every way competent, and
worthy of having the custody and
raising the child.
However, when the court became
ready to proceed with the trial,
the husband relaxed his deLermin
at ion to keep the child under all
the circumstances, due, perhaps,
to some excellent missionary work
on the part of his attorney, Uol.T.
A. Wallace. The defense was with
drawn and the happy mother came
home with her baby.
The Convicts are Here.
The Coffee county chain gang
has moved from Axson, where ii
has been for some months, and is
now located on Sweetwater creek,
about, two miles north of the city.
It is in easy reach of its base ol
supplies, known as Tanner's com
missary. Pearson merchants will
not realise any trade from this
source.
It is probable the camp will re
main, at this location for seuoral
months, wdiile working on the
roads on the south side of the Sa
til la river. Among other things ft
is expected that Commissioner
Melts proposes to finisu grading
the short Pearson-Douglas road on
the south side of the Sat,ilia river,
clay it and put it in firstclass con
dition, so that there will be a good
road from Pearson to Douglas as
soon as the river is bridged.
Warden Meeks has had a tele
phone put in at the camp so as to
be in touch with the outside
world.
When the gang leaves its pres
ent location, in all probability it
will go across the Sat ilia river and
never to return.
This will be Atkinson county
and she will have to look out for
her own road and bridge work.
Doing Her “Bit.”
Mr. .Simon P. White reports to
the Tribune his patriotic brood
sow. She presented him with tin-
extraordinary number of seventeen
pigs in one litter, sixteen of which
are living and doing finely. The
sow is common stock, the male red
Duroc Jersey. Mr. White claims
she is doing her “bit” toward win
ning the world war.”
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. May and
Miss Hazel Borquin, of Adel, were
here Wednesday, guests of Mr.
and Mrs. David Kirkland. They
returned home in the afternoon
and Miss Lois May, who had been
visiting here for some days, went
home with them.
