ity. The treatment Of slander is an
important consideration. The sland-
cred man or woman occupies diff
cult position and needs most of all
the grace Of patience and forbear-
ance; Of fortitude and bravery. 1t is
best not to be in too big hurry,
and to pay little attention, unless
dignity and duty demands vindica-
ton. Wait on God, never brush fresh
mud from your clothes, let it dry.
Socrates said SANDER do ont hurt
me because they do not hit me, but
we do not all have the rugged
mountaim grandeur of Socrates.
Slandcr do hit and hurt some in
nocent people. Sometimes rend fam
lilies, churches and neighborhoods,
leaving for while the desolation' of
the cyclone in their track and often
it takes manhood, womanhood and
Christianity to leave aside the revolv-
er and tardy law and wait until the
storm passes over. After all SLAM
der like other ills is one of the Chris
tan crosses and we'll borne it inures
above all afflictions to the purest
Christening and development of Chris
tian life. No cross ever won a bri"h-
ter crown if borne well for Jesus
sake. 1t is comfort to know that birds
pick at the best and highest fruit
that grows upon the tree. The great
est and best people in the world are
slandercd and only the good and use
full can be. Purity and superiority
are the shining marks against which
jealousy flnd envy have ever shot
their fiery shafts"
"Among the sons of men how few
are known,
Who dare be just to merit not their
own
Superior virtue and superior sense
To knaveS and fools will always
give offcnsc."
To whom it may concern: We take
pleasure in stating that we knew
Miss Sarah j. Starncs, a daughter Of
Thomas Starnes, prior to her mar
rlagc to Mr.. b. +. Morrow, as
young woman Of good character;
that she enjoyed the confidence and
esteem of those living in her fathers
ncighborhood; that there was never
any breath of suspicion on her virtue
or right living; that her father is still
living among lis a respected Confcd-
crate soldier, whose wife died when
Sarah was about thirteen years old.
She being the Oldest of eight chill
drcn, and she did what she could to
assist her father in the rearing of
the children until she was about nine
teen years old when she went to live
with Mr.. J. j. Perry near Osccola,
5. c., where she met and married |
Mr. Morrow; that We do not credit
or III any manner believe any re-
ports reflceting on her character as
we know that she lived 4 life without
rcproach in our nei ghborhood and
we think she is Christian woman
trying to live right with her God and
her ncighbors.
