and glimpse of old rose. Her hat was
of old rogé velvet and roses. She car
ried a bouquet of white carnations and
ferns.
The house was decorated in green
and white, pink shaded lamps.
It was a quiet affair,a few friends
and | relatives being present. No at
tendants. ® B :
In going to the land of flowers no
fairer flower blooms in‘that tropical
clime than the beautiful, queenly bride.
With hearty congratulations to this
well matehed couple, we also add our
good wishes.
‘“‘Here’s td the bride in her beauty and
- pride, ‘
And here’s to the grodm she is choos
\og . : |
Here’s to #ie home where as queen she
will reside, bo |
And 1 tear to the one she’s leaving. 1
Here’s*to the ‘truth that shines in her
eyes; i
Here’s to grace her beauty adorning ;
Here’s to the future where happiness
lies, ;
May it ever be as bright as its dawn

A SUCCESSFUL MERCHANT. |
On November 21st, 1887, at the junec
tion of the Roswell and the Marietta
Paper Mill road, five miles east of Ma
rietta, a young man still in his teens,
‘opened up a store for his father and
‘brother, as a clerk, and continved to
F
-elerk until three years passed. At the
end of that three years he received the
sum of twenty-five dollars as a salary
and took it in stock. On January Ist,
1864, he purchaged the entire stock,
paying cash for the same. On August
.3rd, 1807, he purchased the stock of
Read & Wiggins at A. Y. Leake's old
stand. Today heisdoing one among the
best and safest retail grocery business
in Marietta. Nothing but the best gro
ceries at the lowest prices, prompt de
livery, polite clerks and painstaking
attention® to all his customers. His
business under his special care has
steadily grown every year since he has
been in Marietta. He is very accom
modating and meets all his custqgmers
with a smile of welcome. His ambi-
tion is that nothing that money can
buy is too good for the patrons of the
store. Only a careful inspection of his
stock is nécessary “ to convince the peo
ple that*he is an up-to-date grocery
man. To convince you of what has
been said, visit the storeof J. N. Gantt,
but now succeeded by Gantt & Stone,
Judge John M. Stone being conpegted
on February Ist. .
The addition of Judge Stone to the
firm gives decided strength as he has
had successful experience in the mer
cantile business at Smyrna for a num
ber of years before coming to Marietta
to reside, and knows everybody and is
proverbially politc.accommodating and
reliable. His integrity of character is
well-known, and his business qualifica
tions are recognized. As Ordinary of
Cobb county for years, he filled the
difficult office acceptably and efficiently.
His many friends will be glad to know
that he wil] remain in Marietta and be
come one of her merchants. .
Th%firm of Gantt & Stone starts out,
the first of February with every en
| couragement for a long and successful
business career, and to this end the
public patronage is solicited. .
. DEATH OF MRS. N, C, NEAL. i
! Mother is dead! How sad to us the,
message. How hard to realize. She'
the best of mothers’; whose nightly
vigils have been over us from infaney ;|
whose tender, loving hands have min
fstered to our childish wants; whose
lips have kissed away the tears of dis
tress ; whose affectionate caresses have
cooled oar fevered brow in sickness;’
‘whose wise maternal counsel has di
‘rected our footsteps in all the years,
; and whose solicitude and kindness have
been an inspiration and a benediction.
Mother, dead ! How we question Beath
when he makes dumb the lips of love
and stills the beating heart of a dear
one. ’
“We know what moons shall wane,
When' summer birds from far off shall
cross the ses, ’
When autumn’s hue shall light the
golden grain;
But who shall teach us when to look
for thee,”’
’ Oh, death!
Unbearable would be the heart-l
sorrow when the keen edge scythe falls |
upon the “bearded grain,” or the “flow
ers that grow between,” if the’con
templation of Death ended with its
culmination ; but there is a divinity
that stirs within us that speaks with
unerring certainty of a Great - Here
:aft,er; that with prophetic assurance
‘ tells man’s longing soul that if he die,
‘he shall live again. So we find com
{lort. in the thought that the ‘‘ripened
grain”’ is tenderly harvested by Him,
who said, ‘T am the reésurrection and
’ the life; he that believeth upon e,
‘though he were dead, yet shall he live
‘again.” ; {
~ So when our loved 2nes reach the
end of the journey, as our beloved
‘mother has done, with locks whitened
by many winters, and we sadly place
all that is mortal under “‘the sod and
the dew,”” leaving the ‘““sentinel stars’’
to watch over the “dreamless dust’” in
‘the “‘tongueless silence of the grave,” 1
we know that He who burst the bonds
of death and rose triumphant, gives us 1
the undying hope of the immortal life |
of the soul ; and as our ears catch the i
rustie of Azrael’s wings, the light of
eternal splendors flood the pathway of
Faith, bidding us believe that ‘‘our
mgqther,”” in her robes of purity wears
as bright a crown in the courts of the
celestial city, as Kngland’s dead queen
who has recently gone to walk with
God’s redeemed, for He is no respecter
of persons. 3
“*God’s plans, like lilies pure and white,
| unfold. |
~We must not tear the close shut leaves
n upart; »
Time reveals the calyxes of gold.”
‘ ;
' In aceordance with the inexorable
law of nature, ‘‘our mdther,” Mrs. N.
'C. Neal, has fallen asleep. This sad
event took place on last Saturday eve
' ning, 9:35 o’clock, January 26th, 1901,
| Serenely, caimly death came to her
without a struggle. Her life had been
an active, energetic, industrious one,
eventful, but undeviating in the path
:of rectitude and uncompromising in
loyalty and devotion to the pure and
the good, and a living rebuke to all
that was evil.
| She was born in Morgan county, Ga.,
June 2nd, 1822, and was in the 79th
year of her age. When a little girl,
‘her feet wended the streets of Marietta
when the Cherokee Indians inhabited
| this county. Her father, Ephriam
' Knight, was one of the first settlers,
!bui!ders and merchants of this town.
'She grew to vigorous womanhood under
“sunny Southern skies in Georgia and
Termessee. In 1848 she was happily
| marrigd to William Davenport Neal, of
"Giles county, Tennessee, who had just
'returned from the Mexican war, having
t enlisted whfle here on a visit in the
‘same company with Mr. John R.
FWinters, and was made first corporal in
his company. He died in Giles county,
, Tenn., April 27th, 1854, leaving one
son, who now pens these lines,
l After her husband’s death, she re
moved back to Marietta, where she has
lived ever since until the silent reaper
bore her away
She was a membar of the Methodist
church, a firm believer in God’s power
and willingness to save, and often éx
pressed her hope of eternal life in the
crucified One and said she was ready
to depart. i
Her heart was one of unselfish love
for others, and the intensity of her
sympathy for those in distress or sick
ness gave expression in deeds of kind
ness and help and not in perfunctory
words. She was the tenderest and best
of mothers, and as her hand has row
relinquished its grasp in leading her
gon, he feels that his loss isirreparable.
Good-bye, mother! We shall meet
again on some fairer shore, where the
‘“‘pale boatman” will never splash his
fatal oar in the eurrent of life, but
safely housed in the ‘““home of the soul,”
the sNeltering arms of the King of
Kings will give rest, peace and joy for
evermore, :
The funeral services were conducted
at the family residence on Sunday af
ternoon at 3 o’clock, a large concourse
of friends and *citizens being present.
Rev. S. R. Belk, pastor of the Metho
dist church, delivered a most beauti
ful, comforting and impressive address,
as eloquent in thought as ever fell from
the lips of a servant of God.
The burial took place in the city cem
etery. The pall bearers were Messrs.
M. R. Lyon, A. B. Gilbert, £, M. Cook.
