Obituary..
D. G. H.

In loving remembrance OF Sarah Fix
uart, daughter of Henry and Sarah
Fizuart, of near Scdgcwickville, who
was born June %, 1891, and died Jan. 2i,
1908. aged 26 years, months and -
days.
She had just entered upon her work as
a teacher in the public schools, when
failing health forbid the further
prosecution of the duties in the school
room, and for two years she had not been
able to do any work Of any consequence;
the last eight months she was confined
to her room. Despite all that could be
done for her recovery, she peacefully
fell asleep in the triumphs OF the Chris
tian faith Jan. 2l.
She was possessed of many excellent
qualities, and her genial spirit won for
her welcome into all the social circles
She was a natural musician and this as
sisted in drawing to her many admirers.
Few people OF her age and opportunities
we're known and loved by more people
than she. She was a lady Of firm per-
sonal convictions.
! All that loving hearts and hands could
do was done for her comfort, but her
earthly work is done; her earthly life is
ended. She rests in that house OF many
mansions prepared for all who put their
trust in the merits Of Him who came to
save the lost
There mourn for her to-day heart
broken family, a sorrowing community
and a weeping church. Dear daughter
and sister, peaceful be thy silent s!um-
bers until we all come to the Joy OF the
resurrection of the just at the final day
OF rewards.
To the sorrowing friends l would say
r initiate her good qualities and choose
like her, that good part that shall neve'

ecies." and the like. in which it says that the speaker created no little surprise in one half of his morning discourse by declaring that while he had always been a republican, he should prefer to place at the head of the country "a Christian gentleman like MT. Bryan" rather than a man who had never accepted Christian ity and who, when he attended services of any kind went where the divinity of Christ was denied" The hearty ap- plause which followed this utterance. in the reporters opinion, left no doubt that the chautauqua atmosphere presents a serious obstacle to MT. Taft's success.
 It is strange indeed that this ques- ton is raised, in view of the fact that the two Adamses were Unitarians, and Jefferson was a deist. The founder of the democratic party believed in natu- ral religion, while he rejected all reve- lation. It is pretty late in the develop ment of the republic and in an age of great liberality to bring objections to a candidate because of his religious views.
 Beyond all doubt, however, the re- publican party is troubled by this fea- ture of the campaign. The Tran scripts article indicates uneasiness. The Springfield Republican, also a sup porter of Taft, in discussing this pe- culiarity of the campaign, says: That there are religious zealots who have been so charmed by MT. Bryan's ortho- doX eloquence in his lecture on The Prince of Peace,' the past few years, as to prefer him to his republican oppo- nent on religious grounds alone. may be true, and they cannot be numerous enough to make president"

The Mobile Spirit.

c. C. Dickens of Mobile was in Birming- ham yesterday. MT. Dickens is a pleas ant conversationalist and has that man. ner which belongs only to the man from the gulf city. As he said: Mobile is diff ferent from any other city in the world There is something vaguely strange to me whenever l get in another town. l feel like duck out of water.
 This difference is probably founded on our independence. Mobile is the only town in the country which could have talked about seeding from Alabama as we did recently. We are entirely inde- pendent in every sense of the word.
 As port town Mobile trades and has most of her business transactions with foreign countries and with various states. Her people have a full share or this independent spirit, and it Is not out ot place for me to say that most of them can boast the pleasant cheerful spirit which goes with it.
 While business is slow in the old town right now, and 1t has not yet recovered from the financial depression still. we are happy that we have no strike, and a,e i,s aple to plod along under hot sun wi'n faIety from dynamite"

The Silver Service

It has never been said to the dis credit of Birmingham that it failed to live up to its reputation for liberality and meet its obligations in the matter of civic enterprise.

 Not only custom but civic pride de- mands that an appropriate silver serv- ice be purchased and presented to the cruiser in the name of the citizens of Birmingham. It is important that this be accomplished immediately, as the delay in such a small matter has al- ready been too long.

John D'S Gift Reflected

An Atlanta special to the Chicago Tribune informs the public that the gift of John D. Rockefeller to a fund to establish memorial to Uncle Re mus" had string tied to it. He prom ises, in other words, to give 5000 pro- yided the association raises 5000 in one year. The Carnegie-R Rockefeller plan of giving money conditionally is not a bit admirable, however business. like it may be. It is not open-handed generosity, especially when all the honor of the occasion goes to the con ditional donor.
 The Chicago Tribune's special brings the gratifying intelligence that the as- sociation has decided to reject the gift of the oil king. No limits have .been placed on the memorial fund, and none will be. The oil magnate will not be permitted to dictate any. There are enough admirers of the late Joel Chandler Harris to establish the pro posed memorial, and they will sub scribe6 Aditionally. The officers of tho memorial association have acted with courage and good sense.

COULDN'T DODGE HELL.

New York Correspondent, Cincinnati
 Times Star
 One of the stories credited to Bisnop Potter Is said to have been told by the divine at one of the last meetings of the clergy of his diocese. The tenor of the story ia entirely foreign to Bishop Potters usual conversational method, but it may nave been more impressive on that account. Incidental 1y, 1t may be said, that Bishop Potter didn't like the fy-by- night sects that depend upon vast amount of sh outing and singing to gain converts.
 q once knew a big farm hand" said he, "who was converted by a preacher who held a theory that the end of the world would come upon certain definite date The farm hand resisted conviction as long as he couldg but It was a mighty hot summer. and it be- gan to look tn ough the preacher might have some f1rsthand inforfna tion. The day before the date set for the end of the world the sky clouded up in the west, and the lightnins flashed and the thunder roared, and the big farm hand was worse frightened than ever. He hurried to the chapel, to find the other members of the sect robed and ready for the end to come. There was one extra robe which fitted the farm hand, and he sang songs and prayed lustily all night through. But as morning came he was overcome by the fatigue following a day in the hay field and night at emotional exercise. He walked out into the yard in the rear of the chapel and laid down on t pile of dry hay. Two wicked little boys, seeing him asleep with his mouth open just as tho sun rose, though 1t good sport to set fire to the hay. When the flames touched him, the farm hand awakened. He stared hystsrically through the veil of smoke at the lap ing fire.
 :" Aw, thunder said he, I knew 1 couldn't dodge hell."
