His Death Important.

1.-THE death of the pipe at present is
even more important an event than the
death of the ruler of England, Germany
or Russia, because it affects people in
all parts of the earth; while that Of a
civil ruler affects only his own country.
Then there comes in the element of I'M
certainty of who Will follow the pope. No
such uncertainty comes in any other po-
sition. The heirs to European thrones are
members of certain families, and in a re-
public the rulers will be of a certain par
ty. All we know of the successor of Leo
Nil is that he will be one of a body OF

What if he should be a man of great
force and character, strong conviction and
great executive ability, the affairs in
many countries might be affected. Then

DIED-Florine, the little six
year old daughter Of Mr. and Mrs
J n McEachern died in Atlanta
last Monday night, and was buried
at this place Thursday, Feb. Goth.
Florine was the first to bless the
home Of her devoted parents, and,
like Jacob of old, they felt that
she was q child that God had given
them, and that our Lord meant
her when he said, "of such is the
kingdom of heaven" she was a
very bright little girl. sweet in dis
position, and loved by all who
knew her. How hard to give up
such a precious jewel, but God
doeth all things we'll. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev L
q johnson, of Atlanta, assisted by
Rev f M c Eads, of Powder Springs.
The | ! bearers were Messrs Babb.
Sheffield, Wilson and Sorrells, of
Atlanta. The casket was covered
with beautiful flowers as tokens Of
esteem from loving friends. A
large concourse of friends and re-
latlves from Rome and Atlanta
attended the funeral. We deeply
sympathize with the heart broken
parents and grandparents in this
sad hour of bereavement.

1t is maintained by many distinguished

much upon thc physical condition Of lis

do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women Of our land

that there are thousands in our midst who,

realizes that thc Cay is lost to LIS
cause.
The baron is game. He battles des-
peralcly TO save himself. Mr.. Grimes
notes the sallow hue that has crept
over the mans face. and he knows
the duel is already decided. For the
first time perhaps in his life. the Rus
sian feels the cold clutch of fear at
his heart. Once a man allows this
feeling to come over him in a duel, his
chances are gone. At the same time.
over-confidence is just about as fatal
to success. The only safe course is
line between, cautious and wide
awake, ready to do his best and leave
the rest.
1t becomes apparent that the baron
weakens. His defense is no longer
the marvellous one he put up while
Mynheer Joe continued the right-hand
movement These flashes from tie
uncouth side dazzle him. He has
never been drilled to meet the attack
of a left-handed swordsman, and finds
his brain unable to successfully cope
with the new problems thus sudden
ly presented for solution.
The baron is lost.
He might still save himself by
springing back and sullenly refusing
TO continue the engagement with 4
man who has such wonderful ad-
vantage over him. in that his left arm
is as deXterous as his right.
Perhaps such thought flashes into
the mind of the Russian; he is human.
and life Is sweet to him: but he does
not take advantage Of the idea. Pride
rises against it. He comes from n
race that would meet death rather
than appear coward.
So he battles on, doing his best to
meet the attacks of his foe. He. no
longer hopes to assault in turn-his
arm is too tired for that. He suffers
excruciating pain every time he makes
a move. More than once can Mynheer
Joe. if he chooses. drive his blade
through the body of his foe. He let's
the chances slip by: perhaps the time
may come when he will regret this
mercy, but he does not like to have the
blood of a white man on his hands.
At last the opportunity he looks for
comes; there is q quick movement, a
sudden cry. and the sword of the
American protrudes through the right
arm Of the baron at the shoulder.
Lord Carmorgan has been avenged
with the weapon he handled in vain.
