Sasasta must assume in making the
peace terms sufficiently palatable to
the Spanish people and the political
leaders to permit their acceptance

In his conference with the President

Obituary.

1t has been said, and we'll may
it be, that there was once time
when man did not exist.
So God in His infinite wisdom
saw proper to make man in His
own image, and breathe into him
the breath of life, and he became
a living soul-if we understand the
bible, a soul that can never die.
Aside from this, thereis another
life spoken of, which means from
our birth until we are called from
the associations of our friends
here on earth.
We wish to present to the minds
of our friends, and also the family
of the deceased son, one of the
purest types of humanity.
After an illness of four days,
Leonard, the son of S. W. and T.
j. Owen, was called to pay the
death which separates our asso-
citation here, Leonard was 16
years ofage and bore his Affections
with marked courage and without
a murmur. While his life was one
of continued drudgery, yet he
went along and discharged every
errand with all the christian graces
which belong to good and honest
christian boy.
His presence was always well
coined by all who knew him, for
in him was all that it takes to
make home and friends happy.
1t has been said by some to
weep not for those who have made
their escape from this vile world
of sin and trouble to a home be.
yond the skies. But, in this mat
ter, we are hound to weep and
mourn over his departure, for his
mild and pleasant manners were
so deeply implanted in the hearts
and minds of his beloved parents
and friends that even angels
would go to prayer in behalf of
bis earthly association.
AS he passed over the chilly
waters o. death, across his coun-
tenNnce were the visible marks of
the guardian angels who had come
TO watt his soul from earth to
glory, there to take up its eternal
abode with angels forever.
If we all want to see Leonard
again, let US prepare to meet him
in that celestial city, where we
can all march as one great school
and step to the music of that an.
gelic choir. A FRIEND.

Ethel, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Clack, born April 6, 1890;

bright child, and seemed to carry

was one of sweetness to family
and to all who knew her, but ere
she had seen the blighting frosts
of nine winters, it pleased God to
transplant her in world of sun.

in person, the fragrant memories
of Little Etheps winsome life will
remain in the hearts and lives of
the family and friends forever.

JAS. T. Carter, Dead.
After Many Months Sick
ness, He Passed Away
Saturday Morning,
at 3 A. NJ, Aug. ~.

James Thompson Carter was
born in Hickman county, Tenn,
February Is, 1881; moved to Sa-
vanDab, Tenn, November 26, 1886;
departed this life at his home,
August 27, 1898; married Cynthia
Barr, and to this union were born
eight children, six boys and two
girls, the youngest having died
soon after moving to Savannah.
He had been in feeble health
ever since the war-lost his health
fighting for his country.
For the last eight months he
had been confined to his room,
and most of the time to his bed.
He bore his suffering, which was
more than we have any idea of,
with patience, never complaining;
was hopeful and cheerful to the
last.
He was not member of any
church, but obtained a hope in
Christ while young. While he
was not a member of the visible
church, the life that he lived, and
his dying testimony, is enough for
us to know he is numbered in
the church triumphant. With
this blessed thought we should
dry our tears and rejoice in that
hope, that our loss-though seem.
ingly unbarable to us-is his eter.
nal gain. While he is absent from
us, he is present with the Lord.
For hours before he died, he talked
of home ana heaven, and when he
could not make himself under
stood, he would raise his feeble
hands and point to heaven. He
called his children, one by one, to
his bed, and told them he was go.
ing home, and asked them if they
did not see Jesus. When the
last breath left him, it seemed that
he took wings and went straight
to that sweet home he had talked
so much of, and is now resting in
the arms Of Jesus, His death was
indeed triumphant. He is not
dead, but sleeping. BLESSED are
the dead that die in the Lord.
They rest from their labors, and
their works do follow them.n
Having the evidence we have
that our dear father is asleep in
Jesus, we should not weep, but
rather rejoice that the dear sol.
der has been released from pain
and suffering, and gone home to
rest.
He was a kind, loving and in.
dulgent husband and father, I'M
firing in his zeal to please his
family, kind and obliging to all
his neighbors and friends. He
was loved by all who knew him.
A more pious, christian-like saint
was never known. lie was al.
ways at his place ia church, as
long as he was able to 60; always
ready to assist the poor and needy;
never closed his doors against
friend or foe, and always gave
bread to those who asked it, How
sad the vacancy left in the home
circle, but may we be enabled by
divine grace to bow in humble
submission to Him who doeth
all things well, and be able to say,
mot my will, but Thine be done.d
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
a place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love had given,
And though the body moulders here
The soul is safe in Heaven.
