Engulfed Him.

Senator Martin, like hundreds
of other good men, couldn't see
it or wouldn't see it, and went
against a tide which swept him
down stream, just as it had
swept others of both parties. 1t
is comforting to know that he is
not wrecked and lost. His ex-
perience and fine abilities are
still available. He was wise
enough to see, however, that to
further attempt to weather the
storm meant destruction, and he
put into port, in good time and
trim. Any port is good in a
storm, and Port Harmony" in
which he has anchored, should
insure his future, The lesson is
plain and clear. These be the
days of the Progressive. The
reactionary and stand-patter has
no place upon which to rest even
the sole of his foot.

Kicked by Horse.

DIR. D. r. johnson is nursing
ugly scars on his face and breast
as the result Of a mixup with
his faithful old horse the first of
the week. He was kicked in the
face and breast. Just how the
affair occurred the doctor is un-

it is that he entered the stable
the other morning to feed the
horse, and when he returned to
the house his appearance re-

JOINS MAJORITY
After Three Weeks Illness Popular
Merchant is Victim Of Grim Reap
er---His Place Hard to Fill.

James d. Harri sson, whose
illness has been repeatedly
mentioned in this paper, died on
Wednesday night about IL
O'Clock. His condition had been
serious from the beginning of
his sickness about three weeks
ago. He seemed to improve at
intervals, but the enfeebled con-
dition of his heart gave his
physicians little hope of his ulti-
mate recovery. Some years ago
a severe attack of typhoid fever
left him weakened, and he had
suffered from the effects more
or less ever since.
Besides q wife he leaves four
children, two sons and two
daughters, viz: Willie, Harvey,
Mary Olive and Margaret; one
brother, William G. Harrison,
one sister, Mrs. Mary Harman.
He was a son of the late Col.
Joseph and Mrs. Harrison, and
was about 81 years of age.
James ID. HARRISON had been
a prominent, well-known and
successful merchant nearly all
his life. For a number of years
the firm of j. d. HARRISON and
Company conducted large and
successful mercantile business
at Liberty, in this county. In
the summer of 1906, the com
pany of Harrison, Barns & Co..
was formed here, purchasing
the large building and stock of
Buston and Sons. He was general
Of this business from
the first TO the time of his death.
His familiar face will be missed
and his place will be difficult to
fill. His friends and associates
as we'll as his customers all over
the county bear willing testimony
to his integrity as a merchant,
and his fidelity as a friend. He
goes to his grave. in the prime
of life, with the respect and love
of all who knew him. His death
is moulned as that Of a friend.
In his death the town loses one
of its most active business men, !
and his family, most of all,
mourn the loss of q kind husband
and father.
His wife, daughter of Mr.. |
and Mrs. II. G. Peery, a woman
of unusual strength of character
and deep piety, has been a true |
helpmeet, and built a home for
him and their children peculiarly |
happy, and it is here that the
weight of the blow falls the

The Emory Trouble.

The letter of Prof. j. l.. Har-
din, Principal Of Emory & Hen

here only in the hope of doing
Justice to all parties concerned.

Deep Sorrow.


That was a sad journey Mr..
and Mrs. Jno. T. Barnes made
to the old home last Sunday to
lay to rest the remains of their
precious daughter in the old
home cemetery, and to say that
they have the sympathy of the
entire county is only a part of
the truth. All over the coun ty
and outside the county, far and
wide, messages of coincidence
have been received and fearful
expressions of sympathy heard,
for the bereaved parents. 1t is a
common saying that nothing is
quite 80 bad that it might not be
worse, but it is difficult to con-
ceive Of any tragedy within the
range of probability that would
be much sadder than the sudden
killing of this bright young girl.
The particulars Of the sad even
are given elsewhere in this
paper. Mr.. and Mrs. Barns can
know beyond a doubt that there
are scores of people here who
would willingly help them bear
their load of grief if they could.
