IN TENDER MEMORY.
Miss Mittie Cunningham, a for
mer resident of Xewnan, died at Tal-
botton, Ga., Wednesday, the 24th
insU from dysentery, after an ill
ness of about ten days. He»- re
mains arrived here Friday morn
ing accompanied by her brother,
Mr. W. W. Cunningham, and wife,
with several friends from Opelika,
Ala., and were interred in our cem
etery at 9 a. m.
The deceased was brought iv iu
Xewnan and had many friends
here who were much grieved by
the unexpected news of her death.
In her illness she was conscious up
to the moment ofher death and ex
pressed a perfect willingness to die
and was consoled with the hope of
a better and brighter life beyond
the grave. Her dying request was
to be buried in Xewnan beside
her sainted mother, and that her
funeral be preached by Rev. Dr.
Stacy. The request was fully car
ried out, Rev. W. W. Wadsworth
assisting in the services.
We extend our sympathies to the
bereaved relatives.
IIKD1CATION SERVICES.
The elegant Methodist house of
worship was thronged to its utmost

of its dedication to God’s service.
Rev. Mr. Thigpen, former pastor,

Hargrove, who was detained by
sickness, Dr. Boring, the presiding
elder, was prevailed upon to preach
the sermon. He selected his text
from the seventh chapter of second
Chronicles, embracing a portion of

BRICK’ BRICK’! BRICK!!! hissnirit away to the home on high, i The nature of this house was last
ed the theme in a very simple and
plain way, tracing the history of
God’s worship through its develop
ing phases along the ages to the
present. Beginning with consecrat
ed groves, God lead his people
gradually to the truth by means of
Altars, then the Tabernacle, then
the Temple. Referring to the cost
liness of the Temple, the minister
inferred that houses of worship
should be erected in accordance
with the circumstances of the peo
ple.
A wealthy congregation should
not live in “houses of cedar” while
God “dwells in a tent.” Here the
preacher took occasion to condemn
the too common practice of multi
plying churches in contiguous
neighborhoods beyond the point of
ability to properly sustain them.
God’s answer to Solomon’s prayer,
was the second point considered. If
His people should sin and aftet-
wards repent, He will forgive. He
is the God of providence, as well as
of grace. God is present in all his
works. He has not retired from the I
for the benefit of the Library.
These ladies will be assisted by
several of the young ladies, hence
there will be some change in the
programme of last Tuesday night.

ThK BROKEN LINK.
The death of Mr. Thomas J. Hol
lis last Wednesday, at his residence
in Xewnan, in the fifty-third year
of his age, was universally regret
ted. For many years he had gone
in and out before this community,
ever maintaining the respect of at!
and the love of many. In the vigor
of middle age, when the prospects
around were bright and promising,
the fell destroyer came and broke
the chain which bound together
loved ones.
The deceased was taken violently
ill with dysentery just two weeks
previous to his death; and from the
first the chances seemed to be
against his recovery. Kind friends
watched with the devoted family
by his bedside, doing all that could
be done to bring about favorable re
sults, but without avail. The fatal
hour struck, but thanks be unto
Him who giveth victory, it did not
take our friend unawares. A con
sistent member of the Methodist
church for many years, his trust
ivas fixed in the Crucified One.
At four o’clock Thursday after
noon the remains were conveyed to
the Methodist church, where in the
presence of a large congregation,
an appropriate sermon was preach
ed by the pastor, Dr. Stacy assisting
in the services. At the grave the
ceremonies were concluded by the
Odd Fellows, of which order the de
ceased was a member.
A wife and six children are left
behind. They have the heart-felt
sympathy of hundreds in this com
munity, among whom the writer
claims an humble place
“Farewell brother! We hope to
meet you in the eternal home.”

NEWNANMALE SEMINARY.
The closing exercises of this pros
perous school were held in the Op
era House Tharsday and Friday
evenings of last week. A large
number of the boys in the interme
diate and advanced classes declaim
ed the first evening, while the sec
ond night was devoted to the pri
mary class first and then the de
baters of the Hermesian society.
While there was considerable in
terest manifested in all these exer
cises, the debate was the central at
traction. The following question
was discussed: “Resolved, That the
state of Georgia should levy a prop
erty tax for the support of public
schools for the entire scholastic
year.” The affirmative was repre
sented by W. L. Stallings, H. Con
nell, W. D. Hamrick and the nega
tive by J. H. Hall, P. E. Smith, L.
W. Petty, A. M. Hartsfield. J. L.
Reese, who would also have been
on the affirmative, was not able to
take part, on acconnt of sickness.
The prize offered by Col. A. D.
Freeman to the best debater stim
ulated the boys to their best efforts
and the speeches were all excep
tionally good. The committee saw.
fit to award the prize, a Webster’s
unabridged dictionary, to W. L.
Stallings. The same committee
rendered a decision in behalf of the
negative in the discussion.
The other prizes were awarded as
follows: Willie Gearrald, interme

and Edgar Snead 2nd prize, pri-

ANOTHER CANCER.
About three years ago there appeared
on mv right breast several hard lumps
which gave ine almost intolerable pain
They continued to grow, and finally de
veloped into what the doctors called can
cer of the brt ast. In a short time I found
my strength gone and my constitution a
total wreck. From a robust woman I
was reduced to a helpless invalid. Sev
eral of the liest physicians of Atlanta
treated me for cancer, but without im
proving my condition in the least and
finally agreeing that they conld do noth
ing more forme. The'cancer by this
time was eating out my very life, and
for five months I was a helpless, bedrid
den creature. About one year ago, at the
suggestion of a friend, I commenced the
use of Swfft’s Specific. The first influence
of the medicine was to increase the dis
charge, but after a month or more I be
gan to improve, and this wonderful med
icine has brought back my health again.
I now do ail my own house-work, J am
perfectly free from pain, and feel like a
new person altogether. I cannot feel too
grateful for this wonderful recovery, for
I am satisfied if it had not been for
•Swift’s Specific I would have been in
inv grave to-dav. I most cheerfully rec
ommend it to all those who are suffering
with this fearful disease.
