In Memory Of
Mrs. Nancy Richie.

Mrs, Nancy Richie died Thursday
May 8, at 3 O'Clock,
''She is gone but net forgotten,
Never will her memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts will ever linger
Round the grave whereshe was laid.
1t is sad to part with loved ones,
And 80 hard to see them die,
But we trust some day to meet her,
In that home beyond the sky.
Then the pearly gates were opened,
And a gentle voice said, Come,
And with sad farewells unspoken,
She has safely entered home.
sob, we loved her, yes, we loved him
But the Saviour loved her more
SO the angels sweetly called her
To the bright and happy shore.
Our Savior will comfort and cheer
and when Deaths icy hand shall com
pell US to go, we will meet dear moth
er up there and then with her we will
reign for She is gone to
that bright land on high, but if we do
the will of our Master while here we
shall meet her again by and by. She
was ninety years of age. She was the
wife of Mr.. James Richie. She lived
at Hixson with her daughter, Ala
bama. She leaves six children to
mourn her loss, four boys and two
girls. We sympathize with the be-
reaved one So dear to our heart is
our mothers sweet smiling face. We
cherish her memory, though we have
often grieved her, but God will for
give US, and we know mother will
pray for and bless us wherever we go.
She was called away by deaths icy
hand to receive her reward, and the
crown she won in that beautiful land
is as bright as day. We are lonely and
sad in this world here below, but she
is in heaven where no sorrow can
come to the redeemed ones in glory in
that beautiful home. With her robes
and her crown she will give us a well
come to heaven when our time comes.
Oh, what if those hands were rough,
wrinkled and brown, what if those
cheeks were withered, she was still
dear to us. She had been sick for some
time, so the end was not unexpected.

WILSON STRONG,
SAYS O'GORiGAN
Senator Sure He Gan Carry
Slate Of New York.
COULD WIN IN NEW ENGLAND.
Senator Gardner Of Maine Endorses
New York Colleagues View That New
Jersey Governor Is Strong In Sections
Where Foes Say He Is Weak.
ATLANTA (Ga.) Journal

Senator O'GOrman OF New York de
clares that Woodrow Wilson if chosen
the Democratic nominee can carry that
state against any Republican.
A weightier comment on present day
politics has not been made. 1t brushes
the f1imsy ~pretension that Woodrow
Wilson's candidacy would lose or i'm
peril the party's chance in New York
state and indicates his strength In the
strategic center of the east MS well as
in the west and the south.
Coming from a leader Of Senator
O'Gorman's prestige and farsighted,
ness. this estimate is particularly sig
niicant. He Is the titular head of the
Democracy of New York. a state that
has ninety votes in the nominating
convention and forty-ive votes in the
electoral college. the state for which
both parties strive most vigorously in
presidential years as the key to ma
tional success. He has the support of
Tammnny Hall, but he Is immeasura-
bly, beyond and above the system with
which Tammany is identified in the
public mind. He is versed In prac-
teal politics, but he Is also a states
man Of spotless record and Of rare
ability, so much so indeed that when
he was called to the senate the people
as a whole. regardless Of party con-
nections, rejoiced that the duties of the
office had fallen upon a man so emf
nently fitted to bear them.
OF all the Democratic nominees yet
suggested Woodrow Wilson would not
only stand the largest chance to carry
New York. but. according to the recent
testimony of Senator Gardner of
Maine, he is the only Democrat who
could win portions of New England.
From the clear headed testimony of
these two eminent Democrats, Sena.
tor O'Gorman of New York and Sena-
tor Gardner of Maine, it is evident that
Governor Wilson is particularly strong
in the very places wherein his foes
would have us believe he is fatally
weak.
When to this fact is added the conf
dence and the following he has won
over the country as a whole there can
be no fair minded doubt that Of all
the aspirants in the field he is by far
the best fitted both as a statesman and
n candidate.

The World is unable to agree
with it's friend Colonel Waiter
son that "the Woodrow Wilson
presidential boom has started on
tho down grade"
Viewing tho situation without
prejudice, we should say that the

is still the only candidate who
has shown strength in all sec
