By S. M. Funderburk*Continued
from last week.
I v^ant to say in connection
with/vhat, I have already said
about Mr. Beaver, that he is a
% v
wonder in every sense of the
word. He has one of the mosi
remarkable memories of anyone
that it has ever been my pleasure
to meet. I do not believe

iLitrit* 15 <i (imuu living ui kjii*
that has died in that section ui
the country, whom I have known
many years since he lived there
that he can't talk and tell of, who
they were and who they married
To 1q!1 the truth, I think he can
take a sheet of paper and a pencil
and draw a complete map oi
that country, which was so familiar
totme, and which 1 knew
so well as a boy and young man.
' It was very refreshing to me to
hear such vivid and accurate descriptions
of the old settlement
in which we were both brought
up. Now to the great surprist
of many who are now living
there who knew Mr. Beaver is

church, and are consistent Chris
tians. He informs me that ht
greatly detests any form of hy
pocracy and believes that anj
one who professes to be a Chris
tian should show it by his ever}
day life among those whom*heA
live. There is no put on abou
him. Every action of his life l!

I repeat he fs a wonder.
Mr. Beaver by hard work, ir
and out of season, rain or shine
day or night, has accumulated i
fortune and a* he ;ql<l math*
when he atid my own aunt be
gan planning for life, they de
cided to work and saye unti
they had enough to live out thei
old age without becoming a bur
den to any of his own connec
tion, or any one else, and he hai
that now but still persists in hi:
ideas, and says that if he shouk
live to be as old as his mothei
who liked only nineteen days o
being 102 when she died, that ht
might run out of soap, so tc
N speak. His mind is so clear or
subjects connected with the war
and he never tires of relating hi;
experiences during those memo
rable days, and of the .hardship;
that he had to go through with
that it was astonishing tc sit anc
listen to him, and then to thinb
he cannot read a line and that i
was all from memory of wha
/really happened, I could bu
reach one conclusion, and tha
was, what a pitv that such i
wonderful mind could not have
been given the advantage of ar
education. He sayp be has seer
the need of it thousands of times
that it would have aided him sc
much in a business way.
Now I will ask a personal fa
vor of his kinsmen and any oth
ers who knew him, to write him
He tells me that it would be s
great pleasure to hear from them
and as his good wile is a gooc
writer he will answer any ant
all correspondence. Now let m<
bag all liberty loving kinsmer
Who well remember him, to no
/ forget him and the manhood h<
' so courageously disnlaved ir
those dark days when' the souls
of men were put to test, and he
was found right there. Write
and render him every service
L possible. Comfort the men whe
I wore the Gray, in their last dayi

I' men and women of today not tc
I forget the soldiers of the war 01

know.
Senator Newberry "Resigns"

lias "resigned."
He.has been booted out of his cj
bought seat in the Senate by the
indignant people ot the United

Rut call it a "resignation."
Even as a "resignation." it is a
futile confession of corruption
and a fatuous "gesture" of howing
to the condemnation of the
publiQ. It comes too late. The
time for Newberry to have made 01
such a "gesture" passed when he
decided to cling to his tainted m
seat in the Senate after his conduct
had been condemned by a ,,
u Uj
jury.

stupid to await the tliunderous

The Christian should be '.a
Christian always and every-'

measures, and give, character to
the goods we sell. It should make
our word good, and keep our
mouths clean from profanity. It
should restrain our tempers, our
passions and our appetities. It,
should take us to the house of
<5od on the Sabbath day, and
-keep us from covetousness,
which is idolatry, and from all

If l?ut one oar is pulled, the
boat whirls round and round,

strike, the oar of works does its
