his ambition and desire To achieve.
Ours, l repeat, is to prolong and ex-
tend the service rather than shorten.
Flowers and words of commenda-
ton count for naught with the deceas-
ed to-day. 1t is simply what has been
in kindness. gladness and brotherly
love, extended to him during life's
battles. May we give more time to
this. The poet fittingly puts it:
Now is the time; an, friend no
longer wait
To scatter loving smiles and words
OF cheer
To those around whose lives
are now so dear,
They may not meet you in the
coming year.
Now is the time"
This brother has gone; his life work
is ended; let us remember but the
good, that was In him.

I'VE might speak OF communica-
ton. Not many years ago we heard
OF happenings in an adjoining county
or town only after someone had made
a trip from that town or had written
a letter. Now we know of the hap
penings from all parts OF the world
within very few hours. All OF the
important news OF Europe to-day may
be found printed in the papers and is
read at the breakfast table tomorrow
morning.
Cheap postage is another inherit
ance that the present day individual
enjoys. For two cents you may send
a letter to any part OF the United
States, including Alatka- which of
course is the United States. Then we
have the telegraph and the telephone
We might also enumerate the items
of production among the great inherit
ances OF the individual to-day. One
man can do more now than fifteen
could a hundred years ago. What a
great opportunity il is for one man
TO be able to do the work OF fifteen.
This country is now a better place
physically.

MANY FRIENDS
AND RELATIVES
ATTENDED FUNERAL

The home OF the late William d.
Hall was packed from end To end and
even the second story of the home was
filled during the funeral services held
there last Thursday morning. Mr..
Hall was a well known and estimable
citizen in the community and a host
OF friends felt that they were doing
little enough to show their sympathy
to the stricken family Nv ATTENDING
the funeral services. Many people
" 40 uesIred ascend the svrviCS.s &C.
Trained from going because they felt
that the room in the home should be
given to those more closely related to
the deceased during life.
Fred Cornell and Mrs. l.. NJ. Berry
sang at the service and Rev. III. S. Ellis
OF Ashley church offered prayer. Rev.
w. A. Bliss spoke from the fourteenth
chapter of John, known as the great
est love chapter in the Bible. This
chapter was favorite one with Mr..
Hall At the close of his remarks
Rev. Bliss read the following I'm
Memoriam"
The only trouble in this life is sick
ness and death. This form which lies
here is but a tenement of what once
was the last act, the last word OF this
has been filed with his Maker. We
are gathered here to perform the last
sad rites for William ID. Hall who was
born in the township Of Grattan, Kent
County, Michigan, June Goth, 1865. and
untIi recent years lived upon the
homestead where he was born. few
years ago he moved to the city of
Bedding where he resided at his death.
He was a successful farmer, a good
neighbor, a kind husband and father,
and with all a Christian man and
brother in its larger sense Like
others, he had his faults and made
| his mistakes. Who hasn't faults?
Who hasn't made mistakes? Upon
all questions pertaining to lifes activ-
| tiles no uncertainty ever lurked in
the sphere in which he moved and
he had the courage of his convictions.
When Will Hall made you a prom
Use he fulfilled it,
! If Will Hall criticised any act of
yours he did 1t openly and frankly told
you in terms not easily mistaken.
| When Will Hall was called upon to
fulfill the duties and play the part of
a man and brother either to his kin or
acquaintance, he delivered the goods.
Service for his immediate family
was HIS chief characteristic, and no
one ever came between his and his be-
loved companion and the children she
bore for him. They were first.
His life spans nearly half century
full and replete with a service for
his family and community
| We mourn not for him-his lfe's re-
cord entities him to a creditable posi-
ton in whatever realm he may have
| entered.
This is the first break in family of
eight children. We hope. we trust,
we believe, that father and mother
gone beforehand with open arms
| listening to the stroke of the boatmans
oar-patiently waiting to welcome
their youngest son to their home be-
yond.
Lessons fr omthis life? Yes many.
Success in life is but an exchange for
ones self Ours is a duty to extend
ones life to the limit in the service
of others. The span of this brothers
life has been shortened 20 years by

cal liberty. Every man has an OPP
portunity to express his sentiments by
going to the polls on election day, or
attending the primaries, and voting in
the way he deems right. And l wan;

that the man who does not make use
OF his opportunity. of possessing the

ballot, is not a good citizen. We do
not have class domination now as they
have had and still have In Europe for
centuries.
I'VE also have religious liberty as
we have never had IL before. We as
students gather here in school, both
protestants and catholics and are in
structed in the same way and by the
same teachers. We all enjoy the same
and have the same privi-
leges.
Il have no use for the lazy man,
neither do / have any sympathy with
the parent who says he is sending his
boy or girl to school so that he can
get an education and make a living
easier. That is not the intent of an
education. The purpose of an educa-
ton is to enable the individual TO &C
complish more than he could accom-
plsh otherwise. 1t increases his OPP
portunities. i have no patience with
the man who says the world owes him
a living. You will notice that the
man who has that view of life is the
man who owes everything TO the world
if he only knew it.
Some men have a faculty for maxi
ing money and if they can use ii right
il is a very good accomplishment.

JAMES p. GooDE CROSSES
THE GREAT DIVIDE
Well-known and Popular Citizen Of
Hustonville Joins the Silent
Majority.

James Z. Goode, one of the best
known and most popular older resi-
Idents Of Hustonville, died there We'd
nesday night. He had been in feeble
health for months, but the day before
he died he was able 10 walk about the
place. He was a great sufferer from
asthma and other troubles and for the
past year or more had seldom been
outside of his home. He is survived
by his wife and ten children-six
girls and four boys, all Of the latter
living in Cincinnati and Covington.
One daughter lives in Texas and the
other are at home.
Deceased was 73 years old and with
the exception of six or sevel years,
all of his long life had been spent at
Hustonville, which he with pride re-
ferred to as "the garden spot of the
world" He was a prominent Mason.
having been a member of that order a
half century. The burial in the Hus-
tonville cemetery at three o'clock this
afternoon is being conducted by bro
theirs of that great and ancient order.
and members of many lodges are pres
ent to pay the last sad tribute.
Judge" Goode, as some of his
friends called him. others preferring
the affectionate appeliation of Pap"
was mayor of Hustonville for long
time and made an excellent official.
He took pride i'm the welfare and i'm
provement of his town and gave much
of his time to Hustonville's advance
ment.
He was ind-hearted, liberal. clev.
er man and his death has brought sor-
row to the many who knew and admir-
ed him. A warmer heart never beat in
human bosom than his nor was there
ever a more congenial disposition. He
saw the bright side of every thing and
got all the pleasure out of life there
was in it. He will be missed in Huston
vile as well as by the visitors to the
good little city, who sought him to
revive their dropping spirits with the
sunshine that he always carried.

GEORGIA PRISON COMMISSION
TURNS DOWN LEO FRANK
Votes Two TO One Against Commute
ton of Sentenee-Gov. Slaton
Will Have Another Hearing.

The Georgia Prison Commission. by
a vote of two to one. denied clemency
to Leo Frank. convicted of the murder
OF Mary Phagan in Atlanta. Commits
sioners +. l.. Rainev and X. f. David
son voted against the recommends
ton for clemency and Commissioner
i. r.. Patterson voted FOR IT, The com
missions finding is not binding on
the Governor, who, it is stated. will
make further hearings .e.ore making
his decision. The majority report of
the commission said:
None of the grand jurors who
found the Indictment, none of the
trial jurors who heard the evidence
under oath, nor the prosecuting at
torney have asked that the sentence
be committed. The Judge who presid-
ed at the trial and who had the right
to exercise the discretion Of fixing
the penalty of either life imprison-
ment or death, imposed the latter
sentence and overruled a motion for a
new trial.
Several appeals were taken to both
the Appellate Court of the State and
the Supreme Court of the United
States, all of which were denied and
the judgments of the lower courts af-
firmed, thus assuring the defendant
of his legal and constitutional rights
under the laws of the land. 1t further
appears that there has been no techni-
cal proposition of law or of procedure
hat has prevented the petitioner from
having his guilt or innocence passed
upon by jury of his peers and by the
highest constitutional appellate au-
thorites, and no evidence or facts
bearing upon his guilt or innocence
having been shown, we see no reason
for taking the case out of the ordi-
nary rules of law and justice and felt
constrained not to interfere with the
enforcement of the orderly judgment
of the courts" We are still confident
that Gov. Slaton will commute to life
Imprisonment Franks sentence, and
while the wish may be father to the
thought, we are willing to back our
judgment in the premises. The man
who was in better position than any
other-Judge Roan-the trial Judge,
expressed doubt as to Franks guilt.
IL would be horrible thing to hang
an innocent man and it would be an
indellible blot on Georgia's escutcheon
Gov. Slaton might not satisfy the few
blood-thirsty ones, but he would
please the conservative element by ex-
tending clemency in case where
there is so much doubt as there is in
the one now before him. And, mark
our prediction, he will do it.
