IN MEMORIUM.
Fell asleep in Jesus,


Friday morning, March 9Th, 1896,
ADELINA.
Eldest daughter of Mrs. Adeline NJ. Gibbes
Aged 10 years.
Peacefully and gently. just as the
shadows OF night were giving place to the
first appearance of the dawn of another
cay, the pure spirit of our beloved friend
passed into the hands of him Him who
gave it, and was at rest. Five long weary
months OF suffering were ended.
Patient suferer-neither murmur;ng,
nor complaining, so appreciative of all
that was done for her, so anxious to give
comfort to those at her side, considerate
to the last, of those who ministered unto
her needs-death came to the brave little
woman, loving evidence Oh Gods care OF
his own.
1t was my blessed privilege to know her
intimately and well, in her home, and in
her social and religious lite.
have watched the gradual unfolding OF
the bud OF her girlhood, into the beautiful
blossom of womanhood The figure is
singularly appropriate. Her character wa
one of rare purity and sweetness. She was
as dainty in her thoughts ard feelings, as
the lily of the valley of which she was sc
fond, as modest in her demeanor as tie
violet, as chaste in her desires as the lily
as beautiful in her characteristics and il
| person, as the rose.
Her life was as fragrant as the hyacinth
in her thoughts of others. 1t was in hc
own home that her gentle, sweet DISPOSE
ton was most beautifully shown. Th,
stay and comfort of the dear mother, tn,
idol OF the brothers and sister, the peace
maker, and all without selfish thought i,
her heart.
Ever ready and willing to give nersel
freely and abundantly to those she loved
she had gathered about her, circle O
devoted friends, friends who never left hel
from the commencement of her illness
until the last sad rites were ended.
She was devoted follower OF the meel
and lowly Nazarene and her faith in Him
was touching, in its childlike simplicity.
Down through the valley of the shadow
of death, she walked with no thought O
fear, her mind clear to the last. Hand II
hand with the blessed Master, she ap
preached the end, like one who lies dowr
| to pleasant dreams.
Hers was a triumphant death, and thu
radiant vision Of the Home of the Blest
granted her at the end, was family reflect
ed in the sweet smile on her face. Sucl
lives are benediction from God to tn
world. In their goodness they make us t.
feel and turn to Gods love, they inspire
cur faith, Increase our trust, make deare
our hope From them emanates al
influence for good that never dies. Lik
the gentle ray of sunshine, she fingered
but little while and was gone-he
mission ended. and please God there ar,
those of US who are the better Christians
for her life.
BLESSED are the pure in heart for the,
shall see God" ]. 7. B.

THE AGE OF MACHINERY.

This is pre~eminensly The age of
machinery. The nimble fingers of
man and woman have given way to
this product of the inventive brain,
the fast flying and unerring machine.
Everything nearly is done by ma
chinery nowadays, and the cost Of
the product is cheapened, some ten,
some twenty, and some one hundred
fold. Cotton is picked and the COWS
are MIXED by machinery, and even
chickens are Matched in such way
that the bipedic orphans regard with
fihal respect a combination of pivots
and cog>wbeels, and go to market
unwept by mothers love. But
there are things that defy the march
Of mechanism. The women still buy
their spring hats il the same good
old way, and the figures are still up
to the maximum temperature.
The types en- our big daily papers
are set by machinery, and the print
ing and mailing are done by the
same means. In fact an ent;ra
newspaper can be made, perfect and
complete, by feeding a varied as
sortment of raw material into the
hopper OF a machine Gainesville

Gland is the heritage of all the
people," The above quotation is
from the Populist National pIat>
form. Do the farmers of this coun-
try believe in such a sentiment
Isn't the title deed to their homes
and farms the result OF labor and
sweat and not a socialistic hertz
age? The land the farmers own is
not a common heritage of all the
people, and we do not believe they
will endorse with their votes any
such division of property.

Free silver means pothing but
deprecated silver for money, while
the gold standard insures the use
OF gold, silver and paper currency,
and the equal purchasing and debt
paying qualities of every dollar
Lawrenceville News.
Then if "gold, silver and paper
currency" under the present "gold
Standard are "equal'' in "purchas,
ing and debt paying qualities of
every dollar" why is it only gold is
paid out tor greenbacks? Why
doesn't Carlisle order the payment
OF silver" to those who make a
rush on the "gold reserve" if it is
the "equai' of gold as you now have
the finances of the government.
There is no ''tree coinage of silver"
now to "depreciate" silver to make
1t less the. equal of gold. You
say that gold, silver and paper cur
rency are cow on parity, then pay
1t out at the treasury on parity,
and don't discriminate against silver.
Make it pay debt 70 a Wall street
banker as much so as to the farmer,
then we will believe that your ''gold
standard" has not deprecated silver.
There is no free coinage" bugaboo
now.

Official figures printed in Madrid
papers are to the effect that up to
March l there had been sent from
Spain to Cuba $4,000 troops, and
that the war, which has now been in
existence year, has cost the Span
ish government s50,OOO,OOO. That
is understood to be exclusive of the
cost through the losses of Cuban
revenues. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the prosecution of the war
for the coming year will be some
thing like s75, 100000. The Madrid
statistics say that during the year
406 soldiers were killed in battle,
and that 3,412 died of the yellow
fever.

DO YOUR Duty.

Democrats of Cobb county re-
member that while the National
Democracy disagree as to the cur
rency question, We must not disa-
gree in Georgia on the question Of
State and county control of the Of
fees. Every man should be willing
to sacrifice bis personal prejudices
and feelings and rally to the stan
dard of Democracy In our state and
county elections. The Elberton
Star very forcibly says that the cur
rency question should not enter in
to these elections as an issue, but
We should resist every attempt of
our political enemies to break our
ranks.
What we heed and most ardently
desire in our state elections are good
and capable men in Office, and it
seems to US that it would be folly of
the most stupendous sort TO surren-
DER what we have so CALAMITY won,
and turn over the Offices of state to
that party whose cardinal principles
We have always rejected simply be-
cause Of a currency abstraction, I'M
explained and misunderstood by
nine teaths of the democratic party
in the state. We honestly differ
upon this question. 1t is question
complex in it's nature and difficult
to be understood, in fact, the apos-
ties Of the party, men whom we
have hitherto looked upon as hon
est and capable, are as wide apart
in their opinions as the poles.
None but those desiring to hold Of
fee even protesting to understand
its legitimate effect upon the pros
perity of the country, how, then,
can it be expected that there shall
be concert Of action among those
who have never made finance a
study? But the rank and file have,
at least, understanding enough to
know that democratic defeat in
Georgia means a surrender of the
Offices of the state to that party
which has for years been struggling
to obtain them. They also know
that state and county election can
not determine what kind of curren-
cy shall be established by tie Ea-
tional government. How, then,
can the disintergration of the dem>
ocratic party in state and county
elections improve the financial con-
dit;on OF the country?
Let US all then sacrifice our indi-
vidual opinions upon the currency
question and pledge ourselves to
vote for any democrat nominated by
the democracy. Let US stand or
fall together. "The majority shall
rule is the foundation stone of
pure Democracy.
