IN MEMORY OF MRS. t. q. PARKS.
Resolutions Passed By the WOmsn's For
eign Mission Society


Mrs. Parks has passed from her
work on earth into the rest prepared
for Gods saints in heaven. Her life
was beautiful, useful and good. She
80 lived that the words of her mouth
I'D the meditations of her heart might
be acceptable in Gods sight. Her
spiritual life so shone that others saw
her good works and were constrained
to gIorify their Father In heaven.
She had such a sympathizing nature
one could 60 to her and open a bur-
dened heart without the least feeling
of restraint, and when they left her
at such time they felt "the burden
rolled away" so clearly did she bring
to mind that God was in it all.
She carried into the sick room sweet
peace and sunshine; comforting words
went with her floral offering to the
funeral couch; words of counsel and
encouragement were given with her
deeds of charity. Truly she exempli-
fed the "beauty of holiness" She
was The first president of the WOman's
Foreign Mission Society, and served
in this office for twelve successive
years, and the success which has come
to the work of this society is largely
due to her devotion to the cause, her
faith in God, and her unCeasing eff
forts to do her full duty. In the years
when the work was being established
opposition was strong, Indifference
and prejudice perplexing, but she let
God lead her along the dark way, aud
oh! what Joy was hers when there
were riffs in the cloud and she saw
obstacles being removed and the work
progressing. In the great Judgment
day, when all men assemble before the
Judge of the world, mar in that con-
creation will declare unto her:
Through your prayers, tears and sac
rifices | now enter eternal JOY" Has
she gone from US forever? No. the
influence of her life will be on earth
until time is lost in eternity. Some
day we will clasp her hand on the 9TH
er shore and again hear her voice.
She has only gone before; the lifeboat
| passed over tue river and bore her
safely home. The boat will return for
another and another until she bears US
to the port of heaven.
"And happy will the landing be,
When those who've gone before
We see on Canaan's Shore"
When Mrs. Parks life went out the
world was better because she lived to
make 1t so.
Resolutions adopted by the society;
Whereas, On the morning OF May
Goth, 1899, God called the spirit of Mrs.
Tobitha Guyton Parks from earth to
heaven, Therefore be 1t
Resolved 1st. That in her death
the w. f. M. Society loses a sympa-
thizlng friend, a devoted member and
an earnest worker.
Resolved End. That we commend
to the church and society her example
of faithfulness and implicit trust In
God.
Resolved 3rd. That we dedicate
to her memory a page In our record
book.
Resolved 4th. That we extend TO
her children our heartfelt sympathy
in this dark hour, praying the Father
of Mercics and the God of all comfort
to sustain them.
Resolved 5th. That copy of these
resolutions be sent to her family, and
that copy be senU to the city news
papers with the request that that they
publish them.

SEEKING SUGAR STATISTICS.
COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE
To ISSUE A CIRCULAR.
Wants to Secure Data to Be Used IN
Establishing GeOrgia's Prestige
as a Cane Growing and Sugar
Making State,


Hon. O. B. Stevens, Georgia's popu
] ar and efficient commissioner of Agri
culture. came down to Dawson Sunday
and remained until yesterday, when he
returned to Atlanta.
Commissioner Stevens is interested il
developing the cane industry of the state
and will soon send out list of questions
to the farmers in the cane growing section
of Georgia to see just how much cane
they are growing, and to secure other
data from them also that may be valuable
in aid of the movement to re-establish
Georgia's prestige as cane growing and
sugar making state.
These questions will be promulgated
Just as soon as the clerical work can be
performed by the department force.
Commissi oner Stevens has given out
an interview in which he says:
''The object in view is to induce the
planters to grow sufficient amount of
cane to authorize the building of mills.
In order 10 do this, we must create a
market for the cane grown by the plant
ers, then the price paid for the cane
should be remuneratiVe TO the planters
who will grow it.
1.-THE mills do not want the syrup, but
they want the crude cane. The amount
of syrup made from the crude cane de-
ponds great deal upon the cooking OF
the juice. That is to say, that you can
take any locality and you will find that a
kettle of juice cooked by one man will
make more syrup than the same amount
of juice would make cooked by another
man.
The OBJECTS IN VIEW.
sour objects now are to first find out
what amount of cane has been grown
this year, then find out at what cost it
has been grown, and next to find out
how much is being made per acre. When
we get this information We will then 1e
able to see whether the planters can af-
ford to produce the cane at such a price
as the mills can afford to take it at. SO
as to make 1t remunerative for the plant
ers.
eff this can be done there is no guess
ton but that the growing of cane will be
one of the greatest industries in all south
Georgia. There is ~ questi on about the
soil being adapted to the growing of
cane; statistics show that the uplands of
Georgia produce the finest cane grown
in the " Orld.
''If we can secure the cooperation Of
the railroads in hauling the cane from
the Fields to the mills great point hes
been secured, and we believe that the
roads will do their part for the move
ment.
b4"As far back as 1926 Savannah was
the leading sugar market of the world :.
There ere yet signs OF the old sugar mills
in the neigh bOrhOOd of Savannah. It is
also true that Georgia furnished the seed
cane for Louisiana when she started the
industry of planting cane; but cotton
succeeded the cane industry in Georgia
and drove it out, and our people for a
number of years have paid but little at
tention to it, except for home cOnsump-
tion.''
