A SNAPSHOT
The practice of medicine is not a
business, in the strict sense of the
word; it is a profession, based on zeal
to serve humanity, to prevent sick
ness and suffering, to minister to
mankind and to postpone death' as
long as humanly possible. Your fam
ily doctor does not claim to dPo mira
cles; he makes none of the pretepsiqnf
of the quack. He does not advertise,
for several good reasons: First, he
does not need to; his work speaks for
itself. ''Second, all quacks advertise;
having little or no actual skill, they
mukt make people think they have, by
boasting of talent which they do not
possess. Third, the doctor loathes
humbuggery, and does not wear a
mask. Fourth, he is in a profession,
not a business; his work is largely
humanitarian; a great per cent of it
is for charity.
Sometimes the editor gets mad be
cause the doctor does not advertise
as fake healers do; thats because the
editor does not understand—and the
doctor does not blame him for, what
he does not know. In fact the doctor
is the editors good friend, though of
ten unappreciated.
I never knew a good family doctor
who didn’t stand for everything cal-
^lated to uplift his community—es
pecially churches, schools, good roads,
every civic enterprise, in fact. That
fact,' if no other existed, should make
community respect if not revere thei, , . , ,
n«n who .bout
good.

The doctor is always a subscriber 10.00

cured.

J. 1. COPELAND
Mr. Copeland was a faithful and
worthy member of the Knights of
Pythias for over a quarter of a cen
tury, exemplifying at all times in his
daily life and conduct the noblest ten
ets of this fraternal order. His happy*
and cordial greeting was not confined
to any organization but was for all
mankind irrespective of class, color,
or condition. We shall try to evaluate
his life work from the three aspects
of man, church member and citizen.
As a man, Mr. Copeland was pos
sessed of all the attributes of our fin
est Southern manhood in full meas-
thing he thought demanded his time
for the welfare of his fellowmen. He
would put aside his personal business,
to which he was devoted, whenever he
saw that the needs of others, whether
they had a claim on him or not, re
quired it.
I
Mr. Copeland will not soon be for
gotten, for he lived a life of service,
and many grateful recipients of his
deeds of kindnil^s will, with the keen
est sorrow, think of his early passing.
He lived too few years but accom
plished much in his short life-time.
We deem it an honor to call him broth
er. The Knights of'Pythias is better!

He willingly and gladly bore the bur

He made life easier and pleasanter

As a church officer. Mi. Copeland
could always be dej^nded upon in ev
ery phase of church activity. Al
though a very busy man, he held him
self always at the call of his pastor
or fellow officers or members. As su
perintendent of the Sabbath school
and as an elder he gave freely of his
time to uphold the hands of his pas
tor, to look after the physical upkeep
of the church property, to attend all
services regularly, to care for the
spiritual welfare and to do what he
could for his fellow man, living or
dead.
As a citizen, Mr. Copeland was al
ways wide awake to the highest inter
ests of his community, county and
state. He took the initiative in every-

BLACKJWAUGHT
THE LAST LEAF
By Oliver Wendell Holmes
I saw him once before ^
As he passed by the door.
And again
The pavement stones resound
As he totters o’er the ground
With his cane.
They say that in his prime.
Ere the pruning knife of Time
Cut him down.
Not a better man was found
By the Crier on his round
Through the town.
But now he walks the streets
And he looks at alt he meets
Sad and wan.
And he shakes his feeble head
So it seems as if he said
“They are gone.’’
The mossy marbles rest
On the lips that he has pressed
In their bloom.
And the names he loved to hear
Have been carved for many a year
On the tomb.
My grandmother has said—
Poor old lady+she is dead
Long ago—
That he had a Roman nose
And his cheek was like a rose
In the snow;
But now his nose is thin
And it rests upon his chin
Like a staff,
And a crook is in his back
"And a melancholy crack
In his laugh.
/
I know it is a sin
For me to sit and grin
At him here;
But his old three-cornered hat
And his breeches, and all that
Are so queer I
And if I should live ot be
The last leaf upon the tree
In the spring,
Let them smile, as I do now,'
At the old forsaken bough
Where I cling. — .
WHAT DO *
P. S, JEANES
•S'’-.-, — . .
The home—the kingdom of every family—where mother, dad, sister and brother seek re
laxation and 1 epose ... is it any wonder that furniture plays such an important part in
one’s homelife. It is logical to conclude that throughout the year and at Christmas more
than any other time, the furnishings are of utmost importance. So what would make a
more timely and appropriate gift than a lamp, table, or even a bedroom suite for mother
or a comfort chair for dad. Note these gift specials—make out your gift list from it and
by all means, don’t wait—see us tomorrow!
