Always To Be Remembered.

Always To Be Remembered.
Joseph Earl Shealy, of Little Noun
tain, S. G., was born Sept. 18th, 1855,
and departed this life pril 18th, 1913,
making life On earth p years, months
and 8 days. He was noble young
man having traits Of character excell-
ed by lew.
A good many years ago he joined the
Lutheran church and attended regular
or when his health would permit him.
Being somewhat honely boy and in
early manhood suffered a serious aff1ic-
tion that befell him he was unable TO
do any work, also prevented from the
pleasures Of going about and being in
society. In this solitude condition he
was not widely known but in this way
he de, oted himself to his Lord and
Master. He was young man of
loving disposition, good brother, and
an obedient and faithful son. He
6isliked the rude and evil ways of life
and IN later days would shun people
that would adopt them, in this way
he was especially known, by his imme-
diate associates. A young man Of but
few words but plain and open with
what he had to say or do. He was very
fond of friend and friend to every
body that wished his friendship.
Honesty seemed to be his chief aim in
life and he endeavored to live such
with his fellow man, leading a chris
tian life. His most crayed desire in
his life was his health which be was so
unfortunate as to loose never to regain.
Fate had crossed his path and life was
a dark and dreery road for him with
out the promise of a future.
He was afflicted six or seven years
ago receiving severe hurt and having
a case of typhoid fever from which he
never fully recovered but continually
grew worse. & With all the possible help
there seemed to be no relief, none Of
any avail, and continued to linger in
this. hopeless state not seeing well day
for these many years. In this despaired
condition he would at times have hopes
of brighter days, but with this contin-
ual suffering which undoubtedly affect
ed his mind, he began to think that his
only relief was death. This being the
case he sought his own life, and it ap-
pears that his mind was not clear when
he committed the rash act. There is one
surety that God will take care of US.
His last words written by him were
as follows: "In my own mind as you
will see my physical condition has ruu
me crazy. My life is burden to me.
] hate to leave you good people, but I
must 60. Please don't worry about
me but rejoice in my departure. Hope
ing that we will meet again, FAREWELL"
Earl.
We know not what our path may be,
AS yet by US untrod,. |
But we, trust our all to thee, /
Our Father and our God.
A face that we never more can see,
A voice that we loved is still,
A place vacant in our home, will be,
One that never can be filed.
Will say in conclusion, to all of you
good people that went in search of |
his body, that [ thank you ever so
much and will assure you that I will |
endeavor to show you my apprecia-
tlons. Brother.

Turkish DELEGATES Recalled

constantinople, July 14.-The Turkish
delegates to the Balkan financial commits
sion at Paris have been recalled. The
Turkish armies are continuing their ad-
vance and have arrived at the Silivri-Bel-
grade forest line. Enver Bey's forces
nave occupied Rodesto.
1t Is understood that a Servo-Turl<ish
agreement has been reached but was
waiting ratification from Belgrade be-
fore being signed.
In the House of Commons tonight, Sir
Edward Grey, the British foreign seere-
tary, replying to a suggestion than an
armlstice should be forced on the Balkan
states, said it was impossible to exag-
gerate the horror of the war. but mere
words We're not likely to affect the situa-
tion and ii would be extremely difficult
for concert of Europe to resort to force
TO impose peace.
Bulgaria had asked Russia to aid her
in securing peace and Servia and Greece
had agreed to cease hostilities upon cer-
tain conditions. As to Turkey, no ex-
ception could be taken to her action as
long as she adhered to the Enos- s-Midia
line.
The essential thing for the powers, said
the foreign secretary, was to perfect and
maintain an agreement. The war was
so exhaustive that it could not be of
long duration and no complications ought
to arise endangering the European con-
cert.
There was every reason to believe, he
concluded, that matters would be brought
to a satisfactory termination.

Sir Edward Grey Believes
Struggle Will End by
Mutual Exhaustion
SERIOUS FIGHTING
BEING SUSPENDED
Neither Servia Nor Greece Pay Any
Attention to Russia's Proposal to
Cease HOstilities-Greeks Are
Charged With Massacres

London. July 14.-That the Balkan strug-
gle will end by a process of mutual ex-
haustion seems the only hope Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary, is
able to hold out. In a statement in the
House of Commons tonight he said that
mere words were not likely TO affect the
situation. and it would be most difficult
for the European powers to resort to
force TO impose peace.
Neither Servia nor Greece has paid any
attention to Russias proposal that they
cease hostilites. They appear determined
to negotiate peace with Bulgaria only
on the field. without Intervention by any
third party, and unless Bulgaria proves
amendable. 1t is believed that ad-
vance will be made upon Sofia to enforce
acceptance of the servia-Greek terms.
Serious fighting is being suspended, but
the advance of the Turkish and Rouman-
ian troops continues without opposition
Sunday captured an important position
eight miles west of Kustendil
According to the Athens correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph Greece and Sefvia
signed a secret treaty last May, binding
them to prosecute war then foreseen
with Bulgaria until the Bugars
acqulesced in the territorial arrangements
laid down in the treaty. BY these ar
rangements the eastern boundaries of
Greece would be extended to the Mesta
river, considerably to the east of Drama
and Servia would have an access to the
Aeagan sea at two points.

GLASS OFFERS THE
NJ 'ADOO PLAN AS
AN AMENDMENT
Proposal Provides for Re-
funding Federal 2 Per Cent
Circulation Bonds by Is
sue of 3 Per Cent Bonds

Washington, July 14AA proposal out
lined by Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo in statement several days ago,
amending the administration currency
bill provisions for refunding federal
per cent circulation bonds by the issue
of 8 per cent bonds. precpitated a
heated discussion in the conference of
democratic members of the House bank
ing and currency committee today. After
three hours frutless argument the CON
ference adjourned tonight with the
members in a rather excited frame of
mind and the McAdoo proposal still
pending.
Although the refunding section of the
bill had not been reached in the con-
sideration of the measure, Chairman
Glass today offered the McAdoo plan
as an amendment In a statement to-
night Mr. Glass said the plan was de
signed to clarity the meaning of the bill
as to the disposition to be made of
United States 2 per cent bonds and to
give assurances to the holders of such
bonds that the government has no pur-
pose to abrogate the circulation privi-
lege attached to them until the end of
the 2o-year period provided for in the
refunding process.
The McAdoo proposal would write into
the bill the following provision:
$50 long as any of the said 2 per cent
bonds bearing the circulation privilege are
outstanding, they shall be entitled to all
OF the rights and privileges they now pos
sess.n
The democratic members of the COM
mittee in executive session battled back
and forth all afternoon without avail.
"A division of opinion developed In the
committee, said Representative Glass in
his statement tonight ''as to whether or
not this provision would reassure the
holders of government per cent ,onds
and also as to whether or not the cur
rency bill should contain any refunding
provision whatsoever"
The democrats will resume the argument
tomorrow.
Repeal of the time limitation on the
Vreeland-A Aldrich emergency currency law
authorizing the issue OF $50O000 600 emer-
gency currency was proposed in a bill
introduced nthe Senate today by Senator
Brandege of Connecticut.
The decentralization act, which ex-
pires on June 80, 1914 would he super
seded BY the proposed Glass-Owen cur
rency bill Senator Brandege's bill is
designed for consideration in event no
other currency legislation is enacted at
the special session.
