Death of Two Old Citizens.
To the Editor of the Beacon:

To the Editor of the Beacon
On last Thursday, while at the depot
in Macon, l was called to the phone,
and was told the sad news of the sud-
den death of my good friend and COM
rade. DR.. Stanley. in Valdosta, Ga,
and that he would be buried in Books
vile the following evening.
at once called together as many of
his old comrades as l could reach over
the telephone, and requested them to
meet me in Brooksville, and give our
g gallant comrade of the long ago what
he desired most of all, soldiers bur-
ial.
When the train rolled in Friday eve,
bearing his beloved remains, accom-
panied by his grief stricken relatives,
it was met by a large concourse of old
friends and neighbors, desiring to pay
the last sad tribute to his memory.
The veterans fell irto line and march
ing by twos Immediately after the
hearse, followed by the Noxubee Rifles
Chapter. U. D. c., and a large body of
citizens, they wended their way to the
Borders cemetery, where he had re-
quested to be buried by the side of his
beloved son, Jim, who had met such .

sented to do, for Mrs. Neeves and our
family had emrigrated from the same
county (Madison) in Alabama, had be-
longed to the same church, the old
Cumberland Presbyterian, and had
been lifelong friends, so on Saturday
morning, we drove down to the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Gavin, and fol-
lowed the remains to the old church at
Deerbrook. and there goodly number
of old friends had assembled together
to bury away all that was mortal of
this good woman.
Rev. Mr.. Lee, pastor of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church at Brooks
vile, preached most appropriate SER
mon from the text: "If a man die,
will he live again." 1t was a splendid
effort, and all were impressed with his
reasoning and his final conclusions. OF
course, he answered this question in the
affirmative and proved by the words of
the Divine Master his great faith in the
resurrection.
Her friends sang the beautiful songs
she loved, and | told them of her con-
secrated life. knew her in the years
that followed the war. in the prime of
life. She and her good husband labor
ed together to make them home. By
great energy and close economy, Mr..
Neeves bought splendid prairie place,
and with the money that she had saved
built them a comfortable home. But
misfortune overlook them, and she had
to give up this home. | knew her
when death deprived her of her beloved
companion, and knew her in her long
widowhood, working day by day to raise
her children Alright. knew her when
two of her manly boys were taken from
her by death. knew her when she
had passed the four score years mile
stone, stricken by disease, when she
lost her home and all she had by fire,
but during all of these Affections, she
was the same uncomplaining Christian,
saying with the Psalmist. Though He
slay me, yet will trust Him." Hers
was life of service, and what more
can be said of anyone than that they
lived for the betterment of others, TAX
ing no thought of self, but striving
each day to do her duty as she saw it.
Not all the heroes are warriors for
my opinion, the man or woman who
day by day does his duty as he sees it,
denying himself for his family and
friends, never taking self into consid-
Grafton, his work will be ranked with
the greatest heroes in the land. and in
my opinion, when the great God goes
to make up His jewels, such lives will
not be passed by Him.
She had expressed wish to see her
great grandchild before she died, and
Just week before she passed away,
they laid this little child in her arms.
and she gave it her blessing, and no
doubt in after years, this little child
vi be told Of this, and it may be an
inspiration to make her live life like
her grandmother.
After the services were concluded,

we bore her body out to the cemetery.
and laid her to rest by the husband and
loved ones who had preceded her to the
Better Land, long before.
/ am not writing the above as in any
sense an obituary of these two good
friends of mine. but just to tell of their
and to lay as it were, flower
of remembrance and love on their
graves. Yours,

SATISFIED AS THEY WERE
Decided That They Would Let
the Thing Go.

A vicar of a certain English parish
was sitting in his study one morning
when in burst the verger in great
state of excitement.
Mr.. -" mentioning the curate' S
name, wants you at once, sir" he ex.
claimed. HE has married two couples
and married the two men to the wrong
women, and he does not know what to
do"
Have they signed the register?" in.
CURED the clergyman.
No" was the verger's response.
Then they can be married again,
said the vicar. Tell Mr.. - | will
be at the church in minute or two
to perform the ceremony"
In due course the incumbent made
his way to the church and found the
parties gathered at the entrance. Be
fore he could say anything one of ths
bridegrooms approached and said:
I'VE have been talking 1t over, sir
and we have made up our minds to re
main as we are" And they did SO.

WONDERFUL HOW RESINOL
STOPS ITCHING AT ONCE

To those who have endured for years
the itching torments of eczema or other
such skjn-eruption, the relief that the
first use Of resinol ointment and res
mol soap gives is perfectly incredible.
After all the suffering they have
endured and alS .he useless treatments
they spent good money for, they can
not believe anything SO simple, mild
and inexpensive van stop the itching
and burning INSTANTLY! And they
find it still more wonderful that the
improvement is permanent and that
resinol really drives away the erup-
ton completely In a sery short time.
Perhaps there Is a pleasant surprise
like this in store for you. Resinol ONT
ment and resinol soap al y sold by all

CLOVER UPON WINTER WHEAT
Practice Found to Have Number OF
AdvantaQes-Firm, Compact
Seed Bed is Required.
(By r. G. wEATHERsToNE)

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE)
Many farmers make a practice of
sowing their clover seed upon the
winter wheat early in the spring,
depending upon the alternate freezing
and thawing of the ground to work
the seed down into the crevices.
l have made it practice to SOW my
clover seed on winter wheat in the
spring for number of years and find
that 1t has number of advantages
Grass and clover seed require a firm,
compact seed bed
In my own practice prefer to de.
lay the sowing of the clover seed until
the ground is dry enough to harrow
and apply the seed with a wheelbar-
row seeder and give the wheat a har.
rowing with light smoothing harrow
with the teeth set well aslant This
covers the clover seeds and proves
very beneficial to the wheat crop, es.
pecially during the dry seasons
Either method is preferable to sowing
seed with spring grain crops.

clean quarters, good, fresh air with
