While out riding one day last week C.tpt. J. \V. Busby was thrown from his horse to the ground and received quite a painful and serious injury by the breaking of his collar bone. Gel. N. A. Crawford left for Macon Tuesday to be present at the annual convention of county school com¬ missioners, which met in that city Wednesday. Colonel Crawford car¬ ried with him a carefully prepared address, which ho read to the con¬ vention. IN MEM OKI AM. How uncertain is Life! How sure, swift and remorseless is Death! So the death legends of the ancients pictured as a monster astride .his pale charger bearing away alike the young and old; wise and foolish; the good; the had. Gome when he may his advent is generally unwelcome. Be¬ strewn as the.ieartb is with the wrecks of blighted hopes; beset as it is with corroding,cures and trials and dis¬ appointments-—yea, though our joys are mixed with sorrow here, yet this earth is beautiful and pleasant and delightful. Deny it who may the soul ne’er forsakes its earthly tern - meat without an instinctive shrinking back. Yet (blessed thought), let us re/iiember that it is “only the soul taking flight” to the regions of fade¬ less jov. Here we “have no abiding city” but o’er there, thank God. we have a “building not ' made with hands”-—a “city whose maker and builder is God!” These reflections came to the writer as lie thought with saddened heart on the death of Miss Emma Well maker, which occurred May 11 while on a visit to relatives in Alabama. Just a little more than sixteen bright sunshiny summers had passed by since she first gladdened her home. Front her infancy 1 had known her. When not more than six years she became a pupil in a school taught by the writer. Bright, winsome and sunshiny her mission seemed to glad¬ den every circle in which she moved. A general favorite at school and in society she was idolized at home. A more dutiful child never lived. In¬ deed her last rational act was to write But a Emma loving message to her mother. was a Christian. Never can J forget when in early youth she gave her heart to God; her bright and convincing relation of her expe¬ rience of grace; the joyous look when she walked down into the watery grave beside her gray-haired pastor and put on Christ in baptism; and last but not least, her consistent godly than walk! Blessed lieirage! Bet¬ ter Golobnda’s mines—than Opliir’s wealth is this memory to stricken ones. Her funeral was preached by Rev. John Hogan and was largel y attended. Though she breathed her last iar away from loved ones; with no mother’s hand to cool the fervid brow; with no sister’s gentle caress to re-assure her as she stood upon the dark, dark stream; to hear no murmured tearful farewells from loved lips; yet loving hands laid her 1 quietly yard to rest in the old church near the resting place of loved ones gone before. When she sweetly sleeps that dreamless sleep to an awakening on the glad resurrection morn—till then, adieu! ‘•They have not perished—no! Kind words, remembered voices once so sweet; Smiles radiant Ion# ago; And features*—the great souls apparent sent; AH shall come back, each tic of pure affection shall be knit again— Alone shall evil die And sorrow dwell a prisoner in thy reign.*’ J. T. Hudsox. { DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION Slimly Attended—A Number of Resolutions Passed.
