Long Separation.

From the Alpharett0. (Gal Free Press.
Mike Ragsdale, of J. s. Rsgsdale, of this
county, came home from Texas last Mon
day afternoon. Twenty one years ago he
left Georgia and went to Texas, where he
has since resided. He has been over nearly
all of Texas, but has resided for the most
part in Northwestern Texas. He thinks
Texas is a much better country than Geor-
gia.
'Of course" he said in answer to a ques-
ton, "Texas is better country than this,
but | wouldn't encourage people to go there,
because they might not be satisfied and
would blame me with it.
"There is any kind on country in Tex
that a man may want Farming country

try"
How about your cowboy experience?'
well, I've quit that, and L don't want
many people to know that l was cow
puncher. For ten years l was a cowboy,
and in that time l found out that man
may be cowboy and at the same time
live an honorable life."
When Mr.. Ragsdale came home last
Monday he intended to go out and spend
the night with his father, whom he had not
seen in twenty-one years, without making
known his name. He walked into the
yard, and as he got near the house the dog
ran out and tried to bite him. Uncle Sink
came out and drove the dog under the
house and asked the stranger to have a seat,
which be did Both father and son sat side
by side on the edge of the veranda. They
discussed the weather, the crops, politics
and religion. The son knew the father, but
the father didn't know the son.
They sat and talked for nearly an hour
Uncle Sink looked at the strangers valise
and thought he was q travelling salesman
probably fruit tree agent
Finally the son got up and walked around
in front of the father. He gazed into his
eyes long while Then he said:
"Didn't you have bad boy to leave you
about twenty-one years agow
Uncle Sink looked at the stranger
Directly the forgotten features came back
to him through the long, long years.

CEN. BOOTH DEAD.

Gen. Booth. commander in -chiel OF the
Salvation Army, died in London yester-
day. Booths main idea 10 %insugurating
his religious crusade was hat the estsb-
lished church organizations failed to reach
down among the lowliest Of the human
race and spread among them the promises
of the gospel. From very small begin
nings 10 London the army grew until its
forces ocsupy every English speaking
on the face of the globe. Tie
military methods which no en0rafted upon
his religious organization always produced
a theatrical aud not Infrequently a ludi-
urous effect. His method was to first at
tract attention by the garIsh trappings of
his followers and then work en-
tirely upon the sentimental aud emo
tional sides OF his audiences. His follow
ers never appealed TO reason or common
sense. As a rule they were ~uneducated,
often extremely ignorant, but always in
tensely earnest. Whether tho army las
done much good for religion in the alb
stract is a doubtful question, but it has
assuredly exercised a restraining influence
upon the perniciously inclined who have
come under It's domination.
Whatever else may be said of Gen.
Booth it cannot be denied that be was a
man of intense earnestncss and grea. ex-
ecutive ability, for otherwise he could
never have ruled and .swaYed the thous-
ands upon thousands of men and women
