GEORGE w. GRIFFITH.

This day one year ago the earthly life Of
George w. Griffith ended, and the heaven
ly and unending life began. His earthly
life was one of great suffering and con-
tinued pain but we recall with what sub
mission he endured the will of his Father
in heaven. Through a long illness he was
patient and accomplishing. and while
confined to his room, by his gentleness OF
disposition and complete submission to
Gods will, benefited Others more than he
could have done in any other manner, and
illustrated how the sustaining grace OF
the Holy Spirit always comes to Gods
children in their hours of greatest need.
The mansions which have been pre-
pared by our Lord for his own he is now
enjoying; the rest that comes to earth's
weary ones is now his delight. The songs
of the redeemed which are chanted
around the throne now fill his soul with
their melody The pain of earth is for
gotten in ecstasy of JOY that fills his
heart.
The companions of his sojourn here
have not forgotten his life and character.
The wife, in her widowhood, misses his
love and care, but she would not reverse
the doings of her Father for he doeth
all things well" He is too wise to err -
and too good to afflict without having the
well being of his children in all his plans
and purposes.
Pure are the joys above the sky,
And all the region peace;
No wanton life or enVious eye
Can see or taste the bliss.
Those holy gates forever bar
Pollution, sin, and shame;
None shall obtain admttance there
But followers of the Lamb"
A FRIEND.

Weak Nerves

Indicate as surely as any physical
symptom shows anything, that the or
gans and tissues Of the body are not
satisfied with their nourishment.
They draw their sustenance from
the blood, and if the blood is thin, i'm
pure or insufficient, they are in state
of revolt. Their complaints are made
to the brain, the king Of the body,
through the nervous system, and the
result of the general dissatisfaction is
what we call Nervousness.
This is a concise, reasonable expla-
nation of the whole matter.
The cure for Nervousness, then, is
simple. Purify and enrich your blood
by taking Hoods Sarsaparilla, and the
nerves, tissues and organs will have
the healthful nourishment they crave.
Nervousness and Weakness win then
give way to strength and health.
That this is not theory but fact is
proven by thevoluntary statements Of
thousands cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Read the next column.

Atlanta, Ga, March From the sha-
dow of the gallows to blessed liberty is the
bound made to-day by AdOlphus Duncan,
the negro under sentence TO be hanged
next Friday fer the alleged rape of Mrs.
A. F. Sanner. This morning he was in Full

but after careful and thorough study OF

have reached the conclusion that the facts
in the case will not justify me in permit

confinement in the penitenuary. II is
therefore ordered that the said Adolphus
Duncan be. and he is hereby pardoned OF
the said crime for which he stands con-
victed and that he be discharged from Gus
tody."
After being liberated, Duncan spent
short while in the jail office, waiting for
the return of the jailer so that he could
bid that official a farewell, after which he
went to the capitol to thank the governor
for his life.
In July, 1894, Duncan was arrested,
charged with having assaulted Mrs. san
ner, as she was returning from her work.
He was kept in jail until the following
November. when he was placed on trial
for his life, and was found guilty. He
was given a new trial, which took place
in May last. Again he was found guilty,
and sentenced to death on March 13, next
w. c. Glenn and W. II. Terrell of the
firm of Glenn & Roundtree defended Dun
can in the courts and pressed the case be-
fore the governor without fee because of
their conviction of his innocence.
Solicitor Hill was anxious to see the ne
gro pardoned, and paid repeated visits to
the governor to plead for him. The jurors
Joined him and many of the most promi-
nent people in the city took il upon them
selves TO ask mercy for Duncan. The
grounds on which the pardon was asked
were that the evidence, while strong, was
not of sufficiently good character to allow
the negro to hang. This is probably the
only case on record where public senti-
ment demanded the pardon of a negro
charged with this crime.

IN MEMORY OF

FLEMING DU BIGNON GREENE.
To us, for eleven anxious months his in
FAINT smiles were given,
And then he bade farewell to earth and
went to live in heaven;
We cannot tell what form is his, what
looks he weareth now,
Nor guess how bright a glory crowns his
shining seraph brow.
The thoughts that fill his sinless soul, the
bliss which he doth feel
Are numbered with the secret things
which God viii not reveal;
But we know (for God hath told us this)
that he is now at rest.
Where other blessed infants be- on their
SaViour's loving breast.
We know his spirit feels no more this
weary load of flesh,
But his sleep is blessed with endless
dreams of joy forever fresh:
We know the angels fold him close be-
meath their glittering WINGS
And soothe him with a song that breaths
of heavens divnest things.
We know that we shall meet our babe
(his mother dear and ID,
Where God for aye shall wipe away all
tears from every eye:
Whate'er befalls his brethren twain his
bliss can never cease,
Their lot may here be grief and fear. but
his is certain peace. j. I.

He had tapped the Mckinley 'harl," and
the convention was not slow to endorse
that gentleman for president, though
there was great uproar over the motion.
a prominent colored politician fought Nc
Kinleys protection ideas, and declared
that they were more hurtful to the negro
than any other class.
The meeting saVored somewhat of a
snap" affair, as no one knew that it
would be held to-day, and the first thing
suggested by the gathering was that it
was a contingent of the rise and shine

probably persuade the republicans in the

support to him.
