MRS BALLARD: Dear mother,
look up, lift your bowed head. l,
too, have drank of that bitter cup
| know the heart rendering pangs
Of seeing the casket closed and
from view the Sweet face forever
II this world. But then Jesus
says; ''In my fathers house are
many mansions" and He has one
there for you. Just beyond, little
Geneva has found shelter before
the storm of life came upon her,
and she will there await Your
home coming.
Seven sad months have passed
since my dear, Lucille was called
away. Great is the loss that we
sustain, but hope in heaven tC
meet again. Peaceful be they
sleep dear baby. Oh! how sweet
to breath thy name. In life we
loved you dearly; in death We
cherish your memory. We often
sit and think of you when we are
all alone. For memory is the on
~ thing that grief can call it's
own. She is gone but not forgot
ten. Never shall her memory
fade. Sweetest thoughts shall
ever linger around the grave
where she is laid. Seven months
has passed and still We miss her.
Friends may think the sorrow
healed, little do they know the
sorrow that lies within my heart
concealed,
MRS. NICELEY.

When everyone works and nobody

One of the Saddest deaths that
has ever been in our little city, &C.
cured last Sunday evening at s
O'Clock, when the death angel
knocked, and waited to Heaven
on high. the spirit Of little Geneva
Ballard, the five and one half
years old daughter, of J Judge and
Mrs. G. M. Ballard. For nearly
forty eight hours, the nlalady of
that dreadful disease diptheria,
baffled the skill of three physicians
who were constantly at her bed
side, and dose after dose of the
powerful anti-toxine never lessen
ed the death grip. Little Geneva
was sweet child, and a favorite
with her little playmates. She
was the idol of her adopted parents
who are crushed at the almost un-
bearable loss. Little Geneva was
brought from the Children's
Home Louisville three years ago
and ADOPTED by Judge and Mrs.
Ballard who have no children of
their own, and since her conf ng
their greatest happiness was
found in making her the new sun
shine of their home. happiest.
Funeral services were conducted
at the home at p. m. Tuesday by
Rev. Allen of Baptist church and
Mr. Sehon, Supt. of she Childrens
Home. Louisville after which the
remains were laid to rest in Elm.

The Frank Brings Another HorseA

IN the Atlanta Georgian of October g. 1914,
appears "a remarkable statement" by one
William NJ. Smith, who is described as Con
leys lawyer"
AS long as donkey refrains from trying
to make music, one never knows what his
bray may sound like, but the moment he tries
to waste his sweetness on the desert air, we
know that another ass is in our midst with
the same old asinine honk.
Poor little William M. Smith With almost
perfectly symmetrical stupidity, he has driven
home the conviction that he made foul deal
with that william, William j. Burns; and that
he has disgraced an honorable profession, and
advertised heretofore unknown name, by a
series of incredibly stupid statements.
Let us consider in detail the remarkable
statement" of William M. Smith.
First, he says

What did Woodrow Wilson tell you about

he was candidate, seeking your votes, acith-

The Baltimore platform itself had assured

THERE ought not to be any difficulty in
agreeing as to the facts concerning our
Democratic leaders.
The record is fresh it is open, and it is
public property.
Nobody should fall out with you or me, if
we call the spade by it's short name. Nobody
ought to blame us, if we find fault, provided
the fault IS there to find.
What are the facts which cannot be de
MED?
They are these:
a. The Democratic leaders have claimed
your support on the ground that the Demo
cratic party is the white mans party, opposed
to the negro at the polls and opposed to the
negro in office.
Can this statement be disputed?
o. The Democratic leaders have claimed
your support on the ground that the Demo
cratic party is the party of Equal Rights,
opposed to Special Privilege, opposed to

Republicans :?

Class-legislation, opposed to National banks
and opposed to that system of Protection
which makes laws to fatten one branch of in
dustry to the starvation of all the others.
Can this statement be Denied?
(3.) The Democratic leaders have claimed
your support on the ground that the Demo
cratic party is the party of State Rights, of
strict construction of the Constitution, of i'm
partial enforcement of laws, Of economy IN
the enpcnses Of the Government, and the eX-
ercise of governmental powers for the general
good Of the acho1e country.

An understanding about me! At the very
beginning, this young lawyer puts himself
on the defensive. Why? Did his conscience
hurt him? Did he feel that there was some
thing SO extraordinary in his conduct that
the average citizen would consider him a black

In order that the understanding about him
self should be reached, Smith alleges that
''there is some grey matter in my head yet"

Another Word About

That which the Grand Jury said was too
filthy and obscene and lasciVious to set out in
the indictment was an exact copy, in Latin,
of the vile language which Roman Catholic
textbooks instruct Roman Catholic priests to
use to women and girls, in the privacy of the
Confessional box
Ex-priest Chiniquy copied the horrible stuff
from St. Alphonsus Liguori--a priest who
was canonized by Pope Gregory XVI. in
island put it into his book, The Priest,
the Woman and the Confessional"
This book has been going through the mails
ever since left college in 1874; and I merely
quoted that part of it,and made it part Of
my book, "Ihe Roman Catholic Hierarchy"
None of my language was ''immoral:" it
was the awfIlly nasty language Of the Roman
Catholic Saint" that got me into trouble
The priests do not want the American
Catholics fathers, brothers and husbands
