B. A. Ware, J. W. Hinton, Secretary. Chairman. IX MEMORIAM. Bro. Moseley Hawes, the subject of till* sketch, was born January 5. 181(i. lie was married to Miss Jane Dalila October 4, 1840. He joined the Baptist church at Double Branches, Lincoln county, iu hia early life. Later, he moved his membership to Goshen, or which church he was a member at Ills death. He was one of the most useful, consistent, faithful, consecrated and in fluentive church members it, was ever our privilege to know. He loved his church and his pastor, as but few, we fear, do. And oh! how the brethren loved hint. They showed their appreciation of him by honoring him as deacon, clerk and chor¬ ister. And in each capacity he served as satisfac¬ torily and faithfully, we think, as it was possible for man to do. Bro. llawos was indeed one of God's noble men. Bure and unspotted in character, his life was an open hook before the people; a pillar of strength for those around him. lie was loved by all, and those who knew him best could only see more clearly the manv graces and virtues that characterized Iu'h whole life. lie was recognized by all around him, as one who had no selfish ends to gain, hut did all lie could for the glory of God and tile welfare of his fellow man. Sublime in the simplicity of his faith, unconquerable in his devoted earnestness for the salvation of souls positive and unswering in what he knew to be right; his ioss will lie felt deeply by his family, neighbors, church-and in fact, tlie whole county in which lie lived will sustain a great. loss by the death of such a godly man. As a man he was honest and upright, as a friend to he most implicitly trusted, as a husband and a father a model man; always provident, careful, loving; and in clouds or sunshine, the sweet, g.mial smile was always the. same. In all of his sickness, which was severe and long, he never uttered one word of complaint, hut seemed all the time perfectly resigned to Cod's holy and righteous will. Happy and triumphant must have been his death, which occurred at his home on March 1,1898. Hro. IJawes leaves a loving, devoted wife, e’even obedient and affectionate children, (six daughters and five sons), one brother, and a host of other relatives and friends to mourn his loss. Hut they mourn not as those who have no hope, for they are confident, that his soul is now with Jesus. Let his children and grand-children thank God that in all the walks of life, both pul 1 c and private, he has left them an unstained record worthy of their imitation. Hro. Hawes was a close student of the Bible, and he sought to live by its teachings, lie was a subscriber and attentive reader of the Christian Index for fifty or more years. Ilis good reading had no doubt much to do with his good life. Wq extend to all the bereaved ones—and espe¬ cially his dear wife, in her great affliction, ns well ns sad bereavement—our heart felt sympa¬ thy, and pray that God, by his grace, may resign them to Ilis will. II. M. ADAMS. A Big Bally at Washington. The Peoples party of Wilkes county will have a grand rally at Washing¬ ton on caturday, 14th inst. Several prominent leaders will he on hand, among them Hon.

This is'fho time when moral and social institutions should he fostered Allurements, as they have never been before. such as were never pre¬ sented to the fathers, are being thrown into the paths of sons; and temptations threaten our modern girlhood which were unknown to the mothers when girls. Fast living is speedily becoming a disease of the times; and it will as suredly result in short lives. Luxu ries unknown to the parents are being hurt. enjoyed by qjiildreii to their As luxuries inciease, indolence and worthlessness have ever increased. Hence, in most instances, as luxury increases usefulness decreases. ’Tis not always the rich who in¬ dulge in luxury, for mu: y, who live upon bread crusts wear imitation diamonds. Ultra socialistic Cements predominate in the clubs, theatr. s, pool-rooms, etc., while the under social elements cry and squirm under the imaginary burdens of living. 1 consider each of these elements ail extreme which is to he avoided by the sturdy yeomanry and indus¬ trious class of our people. While tim one feigns riches ami spreads abroad its imitations, the other feigns poverty and grovels in the dust. complaining bewailing and murmuring and the cost of an honest, charitable living. The panacea for all these ills is probably to be found in our homes and schools. Well-regulated homes assure well-regukted schools, and the latter will scarely exist without the former, in all their beauty and harmony. A well-regulated home secures to the school, church, so¬ ciety, industrious, etc., a well-regulated thrifty citizen, an busy, aitd profitable member of a community. Good schools are a mound result of good homes, in which all the graces and beauties of parental ex¬ ample predominate. People have wl o rightly appreciate their homes required a correct estimate of what is to make good schools. Those forces which create good homes and good schools come from within, not from without, not from the state, not irom tin' county or city or town. Homes are creations (nigh to divine), and schools are the children, the training tracks of those homes. It is of prime importanee©to the next generation that the schools of this generation be stable and effective in both organization and operation. fabric The whole common school, is inter-dependent in every part The college prospers as the high school thrives; the grammar school as the primary, and vice versa. The college is the vapor-laden rain¬ cloud from which the crystal drops fall and add their aid to the streams which How hack to the mighty ocean from which they sill come. The common masses of the people are the mighty ocean from which the glorious sun (intelligence), vapor-sheets. draws its myriads of day “Let no man despise the of small things.” Towns cannot exist: without the country; town schools cannot exist without country schools. Country schools are the fountains of purest social streams to which we must steadfastly look with an abiding faith, for the cleansing influences of our homes and social communica¬ tions. It is with pleasure born of assurance that we herald every in¬ crease in appropriation to the coun¬ try schools.
