Cannon McAlister Carter was born
May 10th, 1916, His parents resided on
a plantation two miles east of Okolona,
died young, leaving a family of small
children to the care of their aunt, Mrs,
Dr., Mckinney, residing near German
town, Tenn, who acted well mother S
part by them, bringing them up in the
fear of the Lord as she did with her
own children. And DR.. Mckinney was
equally as kindly indulgent as father.
They inherited a handsome estate near
Okolona, which their father lett in
charge of a friend who possessed his
confidence so entirely no bond was 1e
quired, couseQ lently by mismanage-
ment there was little saved to the estate
previous to the war, and when the war
closed the children had only the land
left. Mac Carter, as he was Familiarity
known among his friends, was only fif-
teen years old when the civil war broke
out ami being an enthusiastic, chival-
rous southern boy, he ran away from
his guardians and enlisted in The Con
fedefate army, joining Capt, Thos. II,
Williams company, in Col. Wade S
regiment of volunteer cavalry in Gen.
Gholson' brigade, and always bore
among his comrades the reputation of Il
gallant and dashing cavalry soldier, ever
in the front, never Sinking a duty,
while enduring hardships and dangers
without complaint,
After the war he began business life
as planter, and was successful in his
methods Of management, in the Cultiva-
ton of cotton, bat his over generous
nature involved him in financial diff
culties by endorsing notes and assuming
/ liabilities for Others whose failures
wrecked his fortune. He was of a
cheerful, hopeful nature, and while he
never seemed to care for money, and
spent it with prodigal liherality, he wac
possessed of untiring eAergy and was
not afraid of work, yet never learned
the value of wealth, except to use it IL
giving pleasure TO those he loved best.
His tastes were simple, yet his HON;
was noted for its hospitality, and he en-
te tanned his friends regardless Of trou'
bic or cost. Brave. chivalr0us and I'M
selfish, he was kind neighbor and !
true friend, who could be depended OF
in any emergency with utter disregard
of consequences.
He was a member of the Methods
church in Macon and endeavored to l9at
A christian life At the time of hi!
death he was engaged III farming nea
Shermln, Ala. He was shot and killet
on the 10th of March by reckless man
who under the influence Of vile intIxi
cnts, destl Dyed the life Of brave
good man, who was quietly attending t
his own business, with no shadow of a.
unkind thought towards his slayer o
ady one else, and it may be said he diet
at peac with the world, leaving "A low
ing wife, four daughters and a son o
tender year to mourn his untimely end
To his family he was kind, devote
husband and father. His friends re
member him as a generous, brave an
LOYAL comrade, who never turned hi
back on friend or foe, and whose brea'
was ever full of the milk Of human kind
ness. To the writer who had know
him many years he will ever be remem
+ bered and lamented as a true and lovin
friend, }. G..

Macedonia Items.

We cannot boast Of good health at
this writing, but a general conyalescent
wave has commenced moving through
our viii &c. The grippe and catarrhal
fervor have held enarly all Of our citi-
zens in their grasp.
our school, which had been under
the control of Mrs. Willie Lindley,
closed 9Th inst, with honor to the
teacher and evidence of improvement to
the students
Our farmers are backward, We are
passing through an unusual spring. /
reckon we need object lessons to teach
us to obey God command when He
says, Seek ye first the Kingdom Of
Heaven aud its righteousness and all
these things shall be added unto you, -
AS concerning items from Macedonia
| wish to refer to an anniversary which
occurred in our midst on the nth Of
this month. On that day fifty years
ago, within one mile Of where the
parties now live, Mr.. Charles Woodtin
led to the Hymen altar his fair bride,
Miss Martha Davidson, where they took
upon themselves the marriage vow and
have calmly walked side by side to life S
meridian, aud now with steps less elias
tic they are gently going down the
western horizon of life together, an hon
ored father and mother in Israel. The
Psalmist said; Il have been young
but now am old, yet haye never seen
the righteous forsaken nor his seed beg
ging bread. - This scripture has been
fulfilled in this couple, and now he is
near seYenty-six years old he is plant
ing his corn to make bread for them an
other year. But few haYe lived as they.
This writer knew them in their anti
mutual days. Some three years after
their marriage he too led the object of
his affection to Hymen altar and there
made their oblation; but this union
only continued thirty three years, then
| the connection was broken. The wife
got ready for Heaven first, leaving the
other to linger alone for while, This
| lingering has sumed up fourteen years :;
but thanks be to the Great Giyer CT all
precious gifts he has not been alone.
Affection caused him to get closer unto
| Christ, and he found that the secret Of
/ the Lord was with them that feared
Him, and that He would show them
His covenant, and this covenant is
worth mo. unto us than all the world
combined. 1t gives us the key that I'M
locks the store Of all Of God 8 mercies
it gives It's a perfect system Of treat
ment one to another; it bids us the OBJ
servance of such as these; If our enc
mics hunger feed Them, if they thirst
give them drink, if any speak grevious
ly of us pray for them, should friends
forsake and leave us, they left oul
Savior too. In word "They whose
ever will, let them come and drink Of
the water of life freely, belongs unto
such as keep this covenant. One more
declaration for Phylanthropist to re
feet upon, viz; Bible students are {
unit in believing that God, in formulat
ing the plan of human redemption, de
termined to send Christ into this worl'
twice; first, as a sacrifice for sin, sec
and, to receive and reign oyer His PEG
pie. His first coming was nineteel
hundred years ago, His second comm!
is in the future, but just as certain a
He came once so certainly will He conn
again. Are we ready
