How MIR. Rives Wants to Be Put Away
When He Passes.

Editor Dawson News: "He that liyeth and
believeth on me shall never die" The king
dom OF God is within yOu," the Christ, as
one who wraps the drapery OF his couch
around him and lies down to pleasant dreams.
The most unchristian ceremonies perform
ed by the church is a funeral. 1t should be
the most cheerful, and it is the most melan-
Choly When my time comes ito put of NOR
tally" and ascend to God | want the putting
away of the body to be cheerful. To this end
in my will | have provided trustees that are
Christ like in their lives, and Of whom the
Pharisees OF this day could say as they did
publicans and sinners" Each Of them in his
way initiates the Christ in making the world
better place in which to live. They are all
live christians. At the putting away OF my
body only laymen will Ofhclate-no objection
to my friends among the ministry going, but
| want them to go as laymen and leave their
funeral-looking looks, clothes and speech at
home. If the season is suitable my friends
among the men will wear button bouquets
OF red, white and blue, and the ladies Corsage
bouquets of the same-the red IMPLYING the
blood of the Christ which made salvation pos
sibe; the white His purity the blue His free
dom from decay, and the blended colors be-
ing the national colors will proclaim the
Wearers' and my patriotism, for love OF coun-
try stands next to love of God and should be
put forward on all occasions, as allegiance to
and dependence on God should be proclaimed
at all times.
I am sending copy of this to three per-
sonal and political and christian friends all
publishers of newspapers, hoping that its pub
LEGATION will rob the going to God Of mems
spirits of some of the false terrors associated
with the end OF life. ANDREW P. RIVES.

Suspicion.

If men are to live together in harmony and
work out their destiny together, everyone
contributing his part OF the task and receiv-
ing his share of the reward, they must rid
themselves Of that canker, suspicion. It has
done more to disturb man and wreck his
hopes than all other insidious things OF which
he has been victim, and he has been a victim
of many. 1t has brought unhappiness to mil
lions, has thrown other millions into conflict,
has destroyed empires and has set races
against each other for thousands of years.
And not content with making enemies OF
strangers it invades families and breeds hate
there, hate and unhappinesS where there
should be, instead, trust and helpfulness.
Companion of jealousy, suspicion has wreck
ed homes that, save for its banefu1 influences,
would have continued in happiness. It is a
hateful thing, and ii ought to be so hated
that man would have none of it within him.
Individuals could rid themselves Of suspicion
and find their friends and fellow workers
more attractive and interesting. Every man
who is suspicious of every other man loses
the opportunity that all humanity should
want and seek-the opportunity for individual
trust and confidence.

How Different Now!
From the Triton Gazette.

MANY OF the state exchanges are filled with
sheriff sales-several columns of them-for
taxes. There are perhaps fewer sheriff sales
in Terrell county than in any other county in
Georgia There has been only one sheriff sale
advertised here this year, and The News re-
members that not very long ago there was not
a single sheriff sale in more than year. Ter
rell IS great old county, whether cotton is
worth 40 cents or dime" says the Dawson
News. Conditions in Tiff are much like those
i'll Terrell, as we noted few days since. But
the article from The News reminds us that
only few years ago, shall we say in the
the county OF Terrell paid no taxes at all.
That county was one of the pioneers in es-
tablishing dispensary for the sale of intoxi-
cants and the profits therefrom paid all taxes,
town and county.

Newport, June 27-A meet ing of local creamery officials was held here Saturday for the purpose of making ar engagements to secure a great CT amount of butterfat for the manufacture of butter and ice cream in this city, the demand being in excess of the amount the company has been able to procure. In order that more may be secured, the local company has negotiated with producers in several counties to pool their shipments, and is offering them at all times four cents per pound for their milk and cream above St. Louis and Chicago prices, also paying express charges.
 r. L. Bleakley, superintend- ent of the local creamery, has received orders from the farm bureau of the Texarkana Chamber of Commerce for cans in which first shipments of cream from the Texarkana territory to Newport are to be made. Shipments from that section are expected to be large and will help to supply the demand here. The New port creamery is supplying the demand for butter and ice cream in several towns in this section, but cannot fill fiji other orders that continue to come in.

 GOLDEN WEDDING
Judge and Mrs. M. L. Arnold Celebrate, Surrounded by
 Friends of Their Youth

On this page is a splendid likeness of Judge and Mrs. M. L. Arnold who celebrated their golden wedding anni- versary at their home near town on June Il.
 A golden wedding is an event that comes to very few people and Judge Arnold and his splendid wife are to be congratulated upon having attained the great privilege of enjoying this happy event, surrounded as they were on this occasion by their large family of sons, daughters and grand children.
 It is often true that we build more wisely than We know, and as one looks back and views the retrospective from this happy event, the thought comes that this is true of this splendid old couple.
 We know that most young people think that love belongs only with brown hair and plump, round, rosy cheeks. So it does for it's beginning, just as the towering Mount Washington begins at Boston bay. But the golden marri- age is a part of love which the bridal day knows .but lit tie of. Youth is the tassel and silken flower of loye-age is the full grown fruit, ripened and mellowed by the passing years.
 Beautiful is the morning of love, with it's prophetic vision, with it's hopes, aspirations and optimism. Beautiful also is the evening of love, with it's glad remembrances. and with
