Our Soldiers in Macon

Tampa Times: The Times con-
graduates the soldier boys of Florida
upon the fact that they are to be
trained for service at Macon, one OF
the best cities of our sister state,
Georgia.
Georgia is one of the cleanest and
best states in the union, and Macon
one of the cleanest and best cites
Macon is populated principally by de-
scendants of men who saw service IN
the Revolutionary, Mexican, Civil and
other wars, and therefore by real AM
erican men and real American To-
men. Our boys could be thrown
among no better people-could receive
no higher inspiration from human
sources than the men and women OF
Macon will give them.

Prompt Payments

Miami Metropolis: Two insurance
agents-a Yankee and an Englishmsml
were Dragging about their rival
methods, relates the Atlatta Journal
The Britisher was holding forth on
the system of prompt payment car
ried out by his people-no trouble:
no fuss, no attempt to wriggle out OF
settlement. "If the man died to-
night" he continued, "his widow
would receive her money by the first
post tomorrow morning" you
don't say?" Drawled the Yankee,
"See here, now, you talk of prompt
payment! Waal, our office is on the
third floor of a building fo1ty-nme
stories high. One of our clients Ilv-
ed in that forty-ninth story, and he
fell out of the window. We handed
him his check as he passed"

JOE AND MARY.

JoE AN II MAN
When the Florida Federation of
Womens Clubs wrote to Gov. Cats,
protesting against the appointment Of
Joe Earman, for years leading
whisky dealer of the State, as men,
ber and chairman Of the State Board
of Control, a board having charge Of
the College for Women and the Uni
versity of Florida, Gov. Cats sent
the following letter in reply:
Il am very sorry indeed that the
Woman's club Of your city has intro
duced objections to the recent ap-
rointment of Mr.. j. Earman en- the
state board Of control. Mr.. Earman
was once in the whisky business but
has given it up for life. If Jesus
Christ could associate with woman
bv the name Of Mary Magdalcne, out
CT whom he cast seven devils, do
not see why you and | cannot asso-

STANFILL.


prime of life, with her little fami
ly around the bedside, Mrs. J. F.
Stanfill laid down to rise no more
until that day when the summon
shall come for the dead to arise.
She was the loved and devoted
wife of j. F. Stanfill, who has
lived in this city for many years,
and the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. M. Faulkner, who lives six
miles south of this city, and was
"A years old.
The writer knew her well, and for
him to try to find words adequate
to tell of the goodness of this
loved and loving woman is futil.
She was reared on the farm, and
as the glow of the summer sun
came and passed. kissing the rosy
cheeks of this beautiful girl. she
grew into perfect womanhood and
learned to love all about her; she
was always that kind of Gods
handlwork that knew nothing
but kindness; and should every
one for whom she had a smile
and a kind word bring a flower
to her grave she would rest to-
day beneath a mountain of roses.
She was the mother of six child
rem. four sons and two daughters;
w. A. Stanfill, of Hazard, KY,
J. l.. Stanfill of Maryville Tenn,
G. E. and Clyde B. and Misses
Ruth and Carrie, the two daugh-
tiers who are the youngest of the
family.
Besides her father and mother,
she leaves six brothers and four
sisters as follow: A. w. Faulkner,
of Ashville, N. c.. G. j. Faulkner,
of Knoxvill, Tenn, J. H., J. c.,
]. w. and Drew Faulkner of this
city, her brothers, and Mrs. w.
D. King, Mrs. H. T. Miller, Mrs.
VIC. Mcdonald and w. C. Hop
per, sisters also of this city; but
the one upermost in her heart
and that one that loved her as
only do the true and faithful, was
none other than that devoted
husband, Josh Stanfill, whose ever
watchful eye was upon her, I'M
til the last spark of life had gilt
tered and faded into that fathom-
less darkness called death.
This is the sad tragedy that we
are all sure to meet sooner or
later, and everyone must face
the great king called death, but
to this good woman it may be
justly said, that she is not dead,
her body is only sleeping, while
her soul is basking in the sun
beams of an everlasting bliss
where she awaits with the faith
full to welcome those whom she
loved on earth, she lived the life
that gains an eternal home above
the skies, she was devoted men,
Der of the M. e. Church, South,
and after the funeral services
last Friday she was laid to rest
in the city cemetery.
To those of her loved ones there
is the consolation that though
she cannot come back to kiss a,
way the tear from the eyes of
her loved ones, they can go to
her.
We tender to the bereaved
family our heartfelt sympathy
and assure them that the loss to
them is felt by all who knew this
good mother who was kind and
devoted wife as well as a dutiful
daughter and a loving sister.

To day there are forty-eight oil
the boys who have been drafted
for services in the Army of the
United States. This is the first
time that the real patriotism OF
the city has actually been arou s.
ed. At 900 a. m. the parade will
be formed and after som G
speeches delivered by the local
talent they will board the train
for their destination at Louisville,
where they will be trained in the
arts of warfare. AS little as is
thought the whole number leav-
ing today, will never return to
their native land we do not know
who it will be that will fall either
by the effects of sickness, acct
dent or from gunshot wounds,
but it is certain that all will not
return.
These boys go without a muir
mer, to fight for the defense of
our country, its flag and the
principles of freedom. If they
can offer their lives and future
happiness, breaking all tn e
friendly and lovingly relations
with family and friends, we
should not Withhold anything from
them that they might desire they
are good boys let us do them
honor and let their memory live
green with us, let US show to each
and every one that, though we
cannot go with them, that our
thoughts are with them,
We cannot yet tell what all will
be done and said and for that
reason we will give in detail next

carried out.
