John Bell Bigger.

Just as nature abhOrs a vacuum, SO
il is said when one man falls from the
ranks Of life's struggle some one is
found to take his place. "Stonewall'
Jackson left no successor, and we doubt
if in all the commonwealth there will
be found another clerk to measure up
TO the standard set by the late John
Bell Bigger. He was so cheerful, so
competent, so honest, and so loyal to
his State, his friends, his party that we
may not look upon his like again.
Another Of Prince Edwards worthy
sons has done his duty and rests from
his labors. Though dead he will yet
live in our memories and encourage
to better living.

so LATE"

Some one of the city preachers has
recently congratulated himself that he
was "born So late that he lives now
rather than i'm the past. We, too, be-
lieve that the world is growing better
that the deyil is not gaining ground,
and that i'm his own way the Ruler Of
the universe is making ready for the
"new earth, wherein dwelleth right
eousne-s"
Aud yet W. Of the South, who are old
enough TO recall by-gone will ever in
si-t that that past was illumined by a
homelife which has no counterpart in
the aye i'm which we live. The ideal
country home Of the Southland sur
rendered with the immortal Lee at
Appomattox. True its fading bright
ness fickered FOR a while but slowly
and set surely it ended in darkness,
leaving no trace of light behind. The
full glare of electric brllhancy will not
restore that radiance, improved ma
chinery Will not give back its cOnve-
niences. automobiles will never take
the place of the family carriage with
the colored aristocrat in charge Of the
reins, automatic fans on the dinner
table will not compensate for the little
"nigger" with the fly brush nod
though lac would, canned goods are
not mothers preserved goods, mince
meat Of the stores is not the mince
meat Of the closet, and as dispensers Of
hospitality the world will not give Us
duplicates of the men and women who
presided over these Southern homes.
We Will not forget that We live in the
present and not in the past, that the
thr0bbing now has claims upon our
loyalty, that the passing moment is
pregnant with good or evil for us, that
Forward" is the command of the hour,
that sup and doing" is the days duty,
and yet We will be pardoned for feel
ing now and then for the "touch of
the vanished land, for listening for
voice that is still, for walking again
the old paths and for holding sacred
communion with a dead but ever dear
past. One of the delights of the heav-
emily life may consist in reviewing the
way by which the pilgrims reached
the better land. Memory is as much
gift OF God as is hope. Lamenting is
one thing and remembering far diff
ferent thing Honor for the past.
Help for the present Hope for the
future.
