KEEP Up TRADITIONS
Court Supplies Aged Father With
Strap to Chastize His Two Dis
obedient Sons.

London, Aug. ia Chinese faith
er's right to chastize obedient and
unjust sons is illustrated. by case in
the civil court of Wei-hai-wei, and
mentioned in the annual report of that
colony.
Two sons had attempted to deprive
their aged parent of property reserved
for his personal use after the re-
mainder of his belongings had been
divided. Asked In court why he had
not punished the offenders for their
greed, the father replied that he was
not strong enough.
But as the unfilial sons, who are
both over 40 years of age, now ap-
peared submissive before the magis-
trate, the parent gladly seized the op-
portunity to administer the overdue
correction with a strap supplied to
him in court. The sons took the
medicine for their moral health with
out murmur, while the old man
was delighted.

ices faced the casket at the head.
Some one gave a signal and the
Trinity Baptist choir began singing
the old hymn, so dear to Mr.. Hard
ing. Lead Kindly Light amid the
encircling gloom.
Then reverently the word of God
was read telling of that glorious city
where there is no sorrow, no signing
no pain, nor tears, no death, no part
ing. Then the prayer. asking for the
mercy and comfort of the Saviour.
"As the prayer ended, Mrs. Hard

behind a nearby clump of bushes.
Then taps were sounded. The

|. c. WADE
DEAD At CORNEL|A
At THE ACE OF 70

CORNELIA, Ca, March 30.-Col'
onel I. c. Wade, one of the most
prominent citizens of Habersham
county, and a pioneer peach grower
Of north Georgia, died here this aft
ernoon at 1880 o'clock, after an Ill
ness of several months. He was sew
T., enty-five years old.
Colonel Wdae, who served with
the Union army in the War Between
the States, moved to Georgia thirty
years ago, taking charge Of the i'll
dustrial development program for
the Southern railway in Atlanta.
Later, he realized the possibilities
which lay in apple and peach-grow-
ing and he developed a large orchard
at Cornelia. T..
He was born in Barry county,
Michigan, on January "a, 1S4S, and
enlisted as a private in Company M,
Of the Twenty-second New York
cavalry, at the age of fifteen, serv.
ing under General Phil Sheridan for
the duration of the war. Later he
was graduated from the University
of Michigan law school and prac-
ticed law at jamestown, N. K, until
he became interested in the farming
and cottle raising business and
moved to Georgia.
Authority on Breeding
Colonel Wade was a diligent read
er, and an earnest student, and was
considered an authority on agricul'
ture and stock-raising. He also was
a staunch prohibitionist, having
taken an active part in the cam
paign and election that made North
Dakota dry in 1880. After remov.
ing to Georgia, he became identified
with the prohibition enforcement
forces in this state.
When former Governor Harris
ran for the post of chief executive
several years ago, Colonel Wade,
then head of the state G. A. r. vet
Grams, urged his fellow members to
vote for the Confederate veteran.
While conducting his campaign,
Judge Harris visited Cornelia, and
while dinner guest at the home of
Colonel Wade, the conversation turn
ed to the battles Of the Civil war.
