Dentil of Mrs. Tally.
Last Saturday morning Mrs. Mary
R., wife of Maj I). H. Tally, died at
her residence on Depot Hill. Her
disease was flux. She was sick but
a short time. She was an exemplary
member of the Methodist church,
and her life was that of a devout
Christian, an affectionate wife and
loving mother. She was a native of
Forsyth Georgia, where she was mar
ried to her husband, Maj. Tally. Tne
sympathy of this entire community
goes out to the stricken husband and
motherless children. The funeral
services were conducted at the resi
dence Sunday evening by Itevs. J. A.
Orman and E. A. Ramsey.—The
Rutherford, (Murfreesboro, # Term,)
Democrat.
Mrs. Tally was reared in Forsyth,
was the sister of our fellow townsman
Mr. W. A. Pye, and well known to
many of our readers.

The liigiit Move.
Under the charter amendment of
of 1885 our city fathers have levied a
tax to be expended on our cemetery
during the incoming year. This is
commendable and a step in the right
direction, for every citizen must ad
mit that in the past the cemetery has
not had that attention in the matter
of work that should have been devo
ted to it. The tax levied, being 5-10
of a mill, is so small as that it will
never be perceptibly felt by the peo
ple, yet it will raise revenue sufficient,
if judiciously expended, to bring the
cemetery up to, and to keep it in good
condition. Our friends, fathers, moth
ers and children, are placed in that
home of the dead to await the resur
rection morn, and respect for them
certainly demands that it be neatly
kept by the living. And this will
never be done save by taxation and a
judicious expenditure of the money
thus raised for the purpose.

At Macon, Ga., nrtw has, and is of

Their domestic and heavy goods de

dress goods department is not only
comprehensive, but is exquisite and

and at astonishingly low figures. Their
very extensive notion department
embraces everything in this line
among which is to be found all the

<iO>F. TO REST.
Wars or F.arthly Pil.
Kriuia', r c Ter minute in
Eternal Kent.
On Monday night of last week
shortly after partaking of his evening
repast, Mr. W. Y. White, who had
spanned the period of eighty-four
years, was suddenly called to his eter
nal home.
For several years, the deceased has
been deprived by debility of age from
enjoying those social and religious
privileges which it was his wont to
enjoy in younger life. He had been
a citizen of Forsyth about sixty-seven
years, and hence first saw Monroe
county before its organization and
when it was covered with its prime
val forest. His ftrts trip through
the county was along Indian trails
prior to the opening of public high
ways.
Accepting the Bible as true, and
Christas his Savior in younger life,
and having consistently observed the
rules of the Methodist church of
which he was for more than fifty
years a member, he ever held the re
spect and esteem of the people. Such
a record is evidence that in dying, he
simply fell asleep on the rock of eter
nal rest.
He leaves a number of children and
grand children and many friends to
mourn his death.
His funeral sermon was preached
on Wednesday morning at the Meth
odist church, by the Pastor Rev. J.
R. Parker, from the text “For me to
live is Christ; to die is gain;” in con
nection with which most beautiful
and appropriate hymns were sung.
The sermon over, the concourse of
people followed the remains to the
cemetery, where they were laid in
their last resting place.
Runing back in memory over the
last few months we find that quite a
number of our oldest citizens in the
county have been summoned to their
eternal home. And as these our
fathers and mothers, and grand
fathers and grand mothers are being
called from their earthly labors to
to the home beyond, are we their
children and grand children prepared
and preparing to fill their places in
the sphere of life? This to us is the
important question.

Prof. W. J. Noyes, the principal,
havig come among us a stranger, we
take pleasure in presenting to our
people the following, as it comes
from his former field of labors as an
educator:
Whereas Prof. W. J. Noyes, a local
preacher of the M. E. Cliuch south,
and for several years a member of
this curch, has removed to Forsyth,
Ga., therefore be it
Resolved 1. That we part from
Bro. Noyes and his family very reluc
tantly, for we esteemed them highly.
In Bro. Noyes we recognize an excel
lent gentleman, an efficient educator,
an earnest preacher and pure Chris
tian, and in his family an ornament
to any society.
2. We commend him to the people
of Forsyth as one whose social quali
ties will adorn their society—whose
ability as an educator will honor their
schools —whose gospel preaching will
be acceptable in their pulpits, and
whose pious walk and Godly conver
sation will have an influence lor good
in their midst.
3. That the secretary of the church
furnish Bro. Noyes with a copy of
these resolutions, and also furnish a
copy of them to the Elbertou Gazette
for publication.

branches free of charge. But instead
