Cumming, Ga., March 30, 1917
Mrs. A. J. Julian.
Mrs. Minnie A. Julian, wife
of Ex-Senator A. J. Julian, died
at her home in Forsyth County
on March Ist. She leaves, be
sides her husband, two daugh
ters, Mrs. Oscar Lilly, of Dah
lonega, Ga., and Mrs. E. O.
Brice of Chicago 111. Besides
the members of her immediate
family, there are a host, of
friends throughout this and
other states to whom the an
nouncement of her death brings
a feeling of distinct personal
loss. There have been few
women or men in North Geor
gia who have made for them
selves so large a place in the
lives of so great a number of
people as did she, for there
have been few so richly endow
ed in mind and in heart with all
the graces and virtues essential
to the highest type of efficient
service.
Her careen of usefulness be
gan just after the close of the
Civil war when, disregarding
the circumstances by which she
was surrounded that rendered
it unnecessary for her to deny
herself of any of the comforts
or pleasures which material pos
sessions could supply, and put
ting aside the inducements
' ' ll were offered her to en
ter of life that present
ed wl.ixt the world would would
call far greater renown, she
chose rather to consecrate her
-nts and her life to that
\\M -h meant most to her peo
ul. For more than thirty wears
* ~o magnified the offiqe of
■fcwtcher and loader that? bet
methods ‘of instruction became
and are still the standards by
which teaching is measured
through this entire section. No
boy or girl ever came under the
influence of her teaching whose
life as not impressed for good
and directed toward higher at
tainment. Few teachers in Geor
gia have had an opportunity to
come in contact with so many,
and none have left more indel
ible impressions upon the minds
of those taught. She did not
confine her work to the school
room. She kept in touch w ith
her pupils. When they went
out from under her tuition she
never forgot them, but remain
ed to the end their true, devo
ted friend. To her they always
felt free to go for assistance in
the solution of the dillicult prob
lems of after life. They never
found her too busy with her
own affairs to give l to them flu
time, sympathy and advice that
would set them right.
There are many esteemed
great among men and women
who live in memory or are re
called by the printed page; but
she lives in the hearts 01 her pu
pils, the gray headed men
whom she delighted to honor
by calling them to the last “her
boys.” The influence which
she exerted over their lives will
continue to live and bear fruit

WHY SUFFER SO?
Why sutler from a bad bin k
from sharp, shooGng tv.’injrs,
headaches, dizziness and dis
tressing urinary ills? Greatful
people recommend Doan’s Kid
ney Pills. Could you ask tor
stronger proof or merit?
A. H. Dine, stationary engi
neer, 115 Logan St., Atlanta,
C i., says: “Doan’s Kidney Pills
certainly have my praise after
what they did for me when I
was almost helpless with kid
ney trouble. They drove the
dull grinding pain out of my
back that had kept me from en
joying a moment’s comfort for
weeks. Doan’s Kidney Pills al
so regulated the action of my
kidneys and restored them to a
normal condition. I give Doan’s
Kidney Pills the entire credit
for this change and I am glad
lo publicly endorse them.”
Price 50 cents at all dealers.
Don’t simply ask for a kidney
remedy—get Doan s Kidney
Pills —the same that Mr. Dine
had. Foster-Milburn Cos., Props

price at which these can be secured
they arc really the cheapest of

discerning the difference between right
