From the Macon Telegraph we
reproduce the following notice:
“Mrs. Fannie Arnold died at
her residence in Skipperton, Ga.,
Sunday at 4 o’clock. She was
85 years of age and a mother of
five ohildren. Mrs. Arnold also
leaves four brothers and four sis
ters. They are Mrs. Nancy Clark
of Monroe county, Mrs. E. T.
Tidwell of Walden, Ga., Mrs. Ju
lia Waldren of Godfrey, Miss Ida
Walton of Macon, also Mr. J. B.
and Jessie Walton of Byron, Mon
roe Walton of Savannah, and Mr.
Charley Walton of Macon. The
funeral occured at 1 o’clock from
the Union church in Crawford
county Monday afternoon. In
terment at the Union church cem
etery.
—Mrs. W. J. Gaines died at the
home of her son at Birmingham,
Ala., last Thursday morning, and
the burial was in the Elko oeme-
tery Friday afternoon. Several
years ago her husband died at El
ko and was buried there. She was
the mother of Mrs. Walter E.
Means of Elko, and.-other sons
and daughters who survive her.
Mrs. Gaines was a most excellent
Christian lady, held in the highest
esteem by all who knew her. The
bereaved ones have the earnest
sympathy of their many friends.
—While it is true that a ma
jority of Houston county farmers
are not getting rich at a rapid
rate, it is nevertheless true that
a majority of the farms are be
ing gradually improved. The
average productiveness of the soil
is greater than ten years ago, and
there is a steady improvement in
the quality of the farm impli-
ments, horses, mules, cows, hogs,
poultry, etc.
been injured to some extent.
Quite a number of people from
this community attended the
Primitive Baptist Association at
Toy, which was in session with
the Toy Baptist church Friday
Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 19th,
20th, and 21st.
