ial humor, his faith in God and good
habits have brought him past the four
score mark the best preserved man L
know of his age. He was pastor In the
Presbyterian church 80 years, been
IS years a preacher and travels 40,OO0
miles annually lecturing and preaching.
He says ne wants to work as long as
he lives. He said he felt sorry for a
man who was resting and wanted to
rest the balance Of his life. Like ne
gro whom you had hired for a days
work and at p. m. he was up on the
fence in the shade wishing the sun was
down. He spoke so beautifully Of his
good wife with whom six years ago
he celebrated his golden wedding. A
marvellous old man. I'd love to live on
an adjoining lot in heaven with such
a man.
I miss dear old General Gordon from
most of the chautauqua platforms. he
is the bravest, brainiest, smartest old
Roman of them all. The wounds he has
received in battle, both in war and
peace, the struggles and triumphs or
his illustrious life make of him hero
worthy of a place In history with the
best and greatest OF men. He is one
of the personages who will live forever,
though he championed a lost cause and
deserves to live forever because he is
made of the stuff that God himself
gives immortality.
Such men as Lee, Jackson, Gordon,
Cobb, Stevens, etc, are worth more to
the south than all the cotton she ever
raised and all the achievements she has
made in literature, oratory and art
One glorious man is better than wealth.
bigger than an ocean, broader tnan the

The only objection to big men is
that they make the balance Of US look
and feel so little. Just take little fell
low whose eyes you can Jab out with
one finger at one tab, little selfish,
mean, and stand him beside grand,
noble, broad, unselfish man and he
looks like a rat terrier standing beside
an elephant.
The eligibility of mayoraIty candi-
dates seems to be disturbing the good
people of Atlanta Really Atlanta can
get worked up on anything. It's said
of Atlanta that she can't cut water
melon without resolutions, discussions,
differences and oratory. Go 1t, gentle
men, the world laughs as you fight,
and the strenuous life demands that
rumpuses and rucusses shall be part or
the program.
Again, don't forget that our taber-
nacle meeting at Gainesville begins
September 7th, with the best corps Of
preachers we ever had and a welcome
to all our friends as big as our houses.

Joy it with us. The Western and At
