In Memory

Mrs. lara SpurgeOn age twenty. five
years departed this life September II,
1913. We are sad indeed TO give up
such a good friend and neiehbor from
this world, but our loss is her eternal
gain. She had been i'll for some time
but bore her suffering with christian
fortitude and was patient, loving and
kind TO all who ministered 10 her dur
ing her illness A faithful, loving
mother from us has gone and we sadly
miss her as we journey here below but
we will gladly meet her when to glory
we shall 60. Our dear ones pass away
to that land from whose bourne no
travellers return, we follow them to the
silent grave and bid them a long fare
we'll Oh how our hearts ache 10 part
with them, then we remember the
words Of the sacred writ: The Lord
giveth and the Lord taketh away, bless
ed be the name of The Lord We
sometimes imagine our loved ones are
with us again thoughts floating DER
our men cries like shadows over moon
lit waters When our hearts are bowed
down with anguish and the soul with
grief do they not come and whisper
thoughts of comfort and of hope, how
we long TO join them in that better
land. We feel sad because they are
lost 10 us, but while we mourn and
weep they are wrapped in garments Of
light and MARBLE songs Of celestial joy

At time when the question OF
good roads has so large a place
in the public thought we would
call attention again to the reso-
lutions adopted by the Farmers
Institute in session recently in
Nashville, to which we give our
cordial endorsement. the 1eso-
lutions are as follows
Resolved, That it is the sen,
timent of the Middle Tennessee
Farmers Institute, in convention
assembled, that State convicts
who are serving terms of three
years or less, be required to work
on our public roads, and that we
memorialize the next Legislature
to enact a law to that effect"
The plan advocated by the
farmers of Middle Tennessee,
would go far towards settling
twovexat ious problems, towit;
How to Get Good Roads, and
What to Do with Our Convicts.
The very vital need of our coun-
try is for better roads, and this
plan goes a long way towards
getting them TO work convicts
on the roads provides a more
humane and sauer method, ellmi.
mates troublesome and unfair
competition of convict with free
labor, besides being free from
other Objectionable features of
the present system of prison
management.

DESTROYING THE ALAMO.

Americans have been accuss d
of lack Of reverence for great
historic places, and the charge
must be true, as the Texans have
begun to tear down the Alamo,
the famous fortress in San Anto.
MO which Crockett aud Bowie
and Bonham and Travis and
their comrades defended to the
last man against the hordes of
Santa Ana.
If there is any deathless story
in American history it is this.
For its like you will have to go
back more than two thousand
years to Leonidas and his three
hundred Spartans in the Pass Of
Thermopylae. There is no
American who has not thrilled
when he read the tale. The Tex.
ans numbered but l69, and Santa
Ana brought up his thousands
While a way of escape was yet
open, Travis addressed the Tex
ans and said that any who wish
ed could go, but the others would
stay and die. They stayed.
The event stirred the whole
civilized world, and when a few
months later the Texans, under
Sam Houston, destroyed the
Mexican army at San Jacinto
Remember the Alamo!" was
their battlecry.
The old building, of course, has
suffered from decay, and somC
years ago the state made an ap
preparation for its restoration
But the money gave out and nov
the upper story has been tori
away and much of the restored
material has been sold for com
mercial purposes 1t is said tina
in spite of the efforts of Cover
nor Colquitt of Texas the whole
building is in danger of beinl
destroyed very soon.
This Vandalism seems incredi
BILE, but it is fact, and the pub
lie cannot learn of it too soon
The Alamo belongs not alone t,
San Antonio nor alone to Texas
but the whole nation, New Yorl
World.

THE STOCK LAW
preserved

After the passing of the first
sensations of surprised delight
Cor chagrin) over the discovery
of the error that seemed to make
a nullity of the proposed stock
law for this county, the friends
of the law began to cast about
for any hope of a remedy which
any part of the law might give
them, The writer had hoped
that on some grounds, the law
might have been effective, since
we believe it to be a wise and
pro6t'producing move in the di-
rection of progressive farming.
We have therefore earnestly con-
sidered every suggestion and fea.
ture that seemed to be in the
law S favor, but we are forced to
the conclusion that it is fatally
defective and void. Some have
said, the error being merely a
clerical one, that the courts
would correct and perfect it by
the rule of legislative iutent.
The editor is not a lawyer, and
and does not presume to discuss
legal subtileties learnedly, but we
have no doubt that any lawyer
will sustain us in the statement
that the rule of Legislative intent
is never used to correct an error,
and may only be invoked in de-
termining the proper interpreta-
ton in case of doubtful meaning
The only feature of the conten-
ton that appeals to us as hav,
ing force, is that although the
first two sections are made void
by the omission of three vital
words, yet the last sections are
severable and will hold. We
have given much thought to this
proposition, but find ourselves
entirely unable to avoid the con.
clusion that the vitality of the
law lay in making it unlawful
for live stock to run at large, and
that the last sections are merely
penalties for violation of this pro-
vision. Ii the law failed TO make
it unlawful for live stock t. run
at large, we cannot conceive of
any rule of law or reason, that
could apply a penalty to their
running at large. To our mind
therefore, much as we hate to ad-
nit it, the law is entirely void
and no power on earth can make
it effective except the legislature
itself, which meets again in Jan
uary 1915, We feel that we owe
it to our readers to give this can,
did statement of our views.

RESOLUTIONS,

Resolutions on the death of Brother
George w. Ward adopted by the com
mittee on resolutions of the Midnight
club
Whereas, in His mysterious providence
and plan it has seemed best to Almighty
God to remove from our membership
George w. Ward; therefore be it
Resolved, That while we bow In hum
BILE submission to the Divine Will, yet
none the less do we mourn our loss and
revere the memory of our departed
friend and brother.
Resolved, That we extend our sincere
sympathy to the family of the deceased
in their great affection. George W.
Ward was an honest upright and valued
member of the community in which he
lived. He served for some years on the
prudential committee of the Congrega-
tlonaJ church, served the town three
years as lister, and had served nearly
three years as school director. The pres
ent graded school building stands as a
credit to the town, an ornament to the
village and monument to his memory.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
lions be sent to the family of the de-
ceased brother, spread upon our records
and published in the county papers.
