MRS. M B. GUNN DIES,
IS BURIED TODAY
Mrs. M. B. Gunn died at the
home of her son, Mr. E. C. Gunn,
in Columbus, Tuesday night as a
result of a fractured hip sustained
from a fall some ten days previous.
Her remains were interred in
Cuthbert today beside her husband,
the late W. C. Gunn, who preceded
her to the grave some years ago.
Rev. Spencer B. King, of Blakely,
conducted the funeral services and a
number of Blakely friends attended
the funeral.
Mrs. Gunn had spent the larger
portion of her time in Blakely with
the family of her son-in-law, M'r. F.
A. Barham, for many years and she
was well known and greatly beloved
in our little city.
She was well advanced in years,
being in her eighties, but they had
been years of great usefulness to
her family and friends. She was an
ardent member of the Presbyterian
church and lived in her daily life |
the Christianity she professed.
The large attendance of the people j
of Cuthbert at the funeral attested !
the warm affection in which she was j
held by her neighbors and friends j
in her former home.
Mrs. Gunn is survived by only one i
son, Mr. Fid win C. Gunn, of Colum
bus, her daughter, Mrs. F. A. Bar
ham, having died about a year ago.
A number of grandchildren survive
her, two of them. Miss Neta and
Master Edwin Barham, residing in
Blakely.
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out
to the bereaved loved ones. May
the loving, tender Savior in whom
she trusted bring them to a glorious
reunion in the great beyond.

WORN NERVES
Nervous troubles, with backache,
dizzy spells, queer pains and irregu
lar kidneys, give reason to suspect
kidney weakness and to try the
remedy that has helped your neigh
bors. Ask your neighbor!
Mrs. Lula Sims, 126 Church st„
Blakely, says: “I used to be troubled
wth my kidneys. They were slug
gish and inactive, causing excess
water in my system. My feet and
ankles swelled and I had water sacks
beneath my eyes. Backache troubled
me and at times, it was so severe I
thought my back would break. Sharp
pains snapped my strength and I
couldn’t do anything at all, for my
back gave entirely out. I was often
bothered with headaches and many
black specks appeared before my eyes,
until I could not see. I began taking
Doan’s Kidney Pills and it wasn't
leng before I was relieved.”
