special attention for the reputation of
the State and selected so bushels from
choice lot raised by +. j.. Smith of

Michigan for them. the extent of the
market seems to be limited. Potatoes

Houlton, Oct. S.-The potato market

Yesterday the price reached $3.50 IA

many of the farmers have practically

In an action of assumpsit to recover

cred. the defendant claimed that the
hay was unmerchantab BILE. having been
wet after pressing and before delivery.
The jury found for the plaintiff in the
sum Of s443.S9
Upon defendants general motion to
set aside the verdict and upon 4 special
motion based upon newly discovered
evidence, it is held.
l. That the quality, condition and
value of the hay. and the extent of the
injury by rain, if any, were purely
questions of fact. They were matters
peculiarly within the experience of the
jury. The evidence was contradictory.
We see no reason to disturb the YER

Upon defendants motion to set aside

Aid the Civic League.


Elsewhere in The News this morn
ing will be found a full roster of the
newly-elected officers of the Bruins
wick Civic league. together with full
list of standing committee reports
etc, We are merely calling attention
to this for the purpose of stressing the
fact that the splendid ladies of this
organization cannot accomplish all of
the things they have In mind without
the aid of the public.
The movement launched by the
Civic league, looking to the improv-
ing and identifying of the city. is one
that deserves the heartiest support
and cooperation of the whole people.
Nothing adds TO a city more than an
attractive appearance, and nothing,
perhaps, detracts more from com
munity than unsightly streets. poorly
kept yards, ugly vacant lots, etc.
There is wide field for work. such
as is proposed by the Civic league
but the scope of the movement must
OF necessity depend upon the cooper
alton of the whole people. Brunswick
is naturally a most beautiful city
But Brunswick can be made much
more attractive by general campaign
to beautify yards, improve the streets
and clean up unsightly lots about the
community.
Let's all join hands with the enter
prising. energetic ladies now engaged
in this splendid work.

befriended him in life and who had
made the burdens of that life less
weighty. No one escaped his bounty
and friends were rewarded, whom he
had not seen in years, but who in the
early struggles Oh his career came to
his rescue with aid and wise counsel.
Like many men of great financial abil-
ity, large number of his friends owed
him money, for which he held their
notes. When he maze this will, he not
only cancelled these obligations, but
made large requests to those whose
notes he held. Among Thomas Egles-
toms friends were many of the wealth
lest of Atlanta's business men; men
who did not need to be remembered
with money. To these were left hand
some remembrance, presents of
substantial nature, that will forever
live in the hearts of these friends, re-
calling always the golden-hearted don
or who, when the hour of death came
to him, thought of friendship, weaved
ii in beautiful patterns into the very
wool of his life and left the world
teaching it how it is possible to re-
move the sting of death in the going!
How beautiful is the thought that
must have been his when, with his
soul on fire, he made this will, the
provisions of which were to make the
cares of many heavy hearts less
heavy; cause rays of sunshine to pen
citrate into places where gloom has al
ways held forth and finally to bring to
old and young alike incomes that
would insure peace and plenty forever.
AS we said in the beginning, we did
not know this prince of gentlemen,
who has been called to his last re-
ward, but his will has indicated to
us what his character must have been
and we merely wish the privilege of
to his friends our sincere
sympathy at the taking away of such
a man. The world can i'll afford to
lose him, for unfortunately there - are
few like him.

Death.

There is no death--the stars go down
to rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
they shine forevermore."
Why is it that the living experience
feelings of sorrow and regret when
the gentle spirit OF some dear one
has taken leave Of its earthly taber-
nacle and winged its flight to the
beautiful and brighter world beyond
the skies? Why should there be la
mentations and grief over the depart
ed? Death is but the closing of the
eye on this life and the awakening
to the new and perfect one; the clos
ing of the gates of this world of tribu-
lations and the opening of the portals
into the new and better and brighter
one; for have not the followers of
Him who came into the world that
whatsoever beiieveth on Him shall
not perish, but have eternal life"
His promise that 81 go now to pre-
pare a place for you. And if | go
and prepare place for you. | will
come again and receive you unto my
SELF that where | am. you may be
also?
Then why should we mourn that
they have been blessed and gone
on before us to receive the crown
of glory prepared for them? Rather
why should we not rejoice. and in
the exuberance of our emotion, ex-
claim, How long. o, how long, bles-
sed Lord. shall we be denied the
glorious privilege of thus communing
with our loved ones?"
But shall we not drop a tear upon
| the graves of those who were in life
dear to us? Shall we not testify to
four affections and Affections by some
token? And ii We do, can it be call
ed rebellion against the Most High
of Heaven? Surely God would not
have our hearts soft stone when
these griefs come upon us. Surely He

His holy decree if this weak flesh
should humbly mourn that its sor-
rows may be heaed, For the mourn.
