Years Becinninq on SUNDAY.

In the course of the present cen,
tury fourteen years will begin on
Sunday. A painstaking individual has
computed these occurrences, showing
that in this century Jan. l will fall
on Sunday as follows; The common
years 1905, 1911, 1922, 1888, 1889, 1850
1861, 1867, 1878, 1889 and 1895, aud
the leap years 1928, 1856 and 1884,
This is a fraction less than the usual
number computed in point of averages,
the first and the last OF the Sunday
beginnings falling five years each from
the close of the century. It Is posi-
bic for Jan. I to occur on Sunday
fifteen times in a single century.

OBITUARY.

In loving remem brance of J. W.
Hurt, died November Il, 1905.
Grim, merciless Death visited
us November Z. 1905, and took
from us our beloved brother. Our
sky is hung with black, sombre
clouds; our vision is o'ercast with
the gloom of sorrow and every
sound that strikes our ear has in
it cadence of despair, without
the presence of our beloved broth
er, who has gone before. The
world indeed seems cherries to
us and in our heart there is a
dreary, dismal, aching void.
Willie was born in Chattanooga
county Georgia, December +. 1858.
He came to this country with his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Hurt, in the fall of 1850. He was
married to Miss Martha Goodwin
in 1874 and To them were born
two children. He is survived by
a mother, three sisters, one broth
er and one daughter.
The only consolation that we
have is the sweet hope that oul
beloved brother is at peace. The
one upon whom we have layished
our care is now in that land
Where the weary are at rest. y

| am going to talk to you about
one of Gods best gifts to man.
There are many traits In our ma
lures that stand out like sparkling
dewdrops in the morning sun, but
there are none greater than the
ability to triumph over ourselves.
And this trait is never more Sc
yerely tested than in time of great
misfortune and trouble. The man
or woman who can keep right
along on their journey of life IN
this world of ours, carrying bur-
den of sorrow or disappointment
shat is eating the heart away, scat
tering smiles and sunshine on
those they meet and emitting
nothing of the duties of life, pos
sesses a jewel more precious than
any that ever adorned the crown
of king. Men have risked their
lives on the CORY field of battle and
charged into the very jaws of
death; women have left their
homes to care for the sick and
wounded and spent their lives In
work of love; philosophers have
buried themselves in archives
among volumes of lore, or braved
the dangers of uncongenial eli
mates, for the purpose of adding
to the store of human knowledge;
statesmen have become martyrs
to their devotion to the cause of
humanity, and Christians have
suffered the horrors of martyr
dom; but for all these there was
glory, fame, honor, or deep
seated, conscious hope of future
reward. But for the man or wo-
man in the ordinary walks of life,
and pursuing its peaceful voca-
tions, there are none of those
powerful Incentives or aspirations
to buoy the sinking heart.
There is no clash of sabre or
booming cannon or thought of glo-
ry; no hope of future monuments
or historic mention. 1t is simply a
war waged without ourselves, with
ourselves and all our selfish nature
and fierce passions, for supremacy
or mastery over Gus own feelings.
Had Napoleon possessed this yir-
tue there would have been no st.
Helena. Call it courage, fortitude,
or whatever you please, but it Is a
fight in which every fibre of our
being, every trait of our charac-
ter, every reserve force, moral,
physical, and intellectual, Is re-
auired to sustain our dropping
spirits and press on to victory. l
have seen mighty oak that has
withstood the storms of a century,
it had defed the winds and the
rain; | looked upon it and said to
myself: What a monument of
strength" | have seen the con-
quering hero reture from the bat
tlefield with the laurels of victory
resting upon his brow, and stood
in awe of the greatness of his
achievements. / have read the
work of great mind, and there
crept into my heart a feeling of
yeneration that bordered on idola-
try. But there is "a sacredness
about the heroism of the man or
woman in the lower walks of life
who can rise above a great mlsfor-
tune or trouble and take up the
burdens Of life with cheerful
ness which. if not genuine, rem
ders the heroism more sublime
that is too pathetic to applaud, and
before which | bow with a rever'
ence that | feel for no other trait
in human nature.
