ESTABLISHED 1841
birial alive of
MOTHER OF LEE.
Her Rescue From Tomb a
Year Before General
Lee Was Born.
Sunday was the one hundred
ami first anniversary of the birth
of Gen. Robert E. Lee, and it re
calls the little known fact that he
was born more than a year after
his mother had been buried, fur
nish ii^ to the world one of the
most astonishing cases of revivis-
cence on record.
Gen. Lee’s Another was by no
means an entirely healthy woman,
and the physician at Stratford,
Va., the home of Henry Lee
(Light Horse Harry) was kept in
almost constant attendance. Mrs.
Lee suffered from catalepsy, and
during a prolonged trance she was
pronounced dead. The body was
prepared for interment, and the
morning of the third day after her
supposed death the remains were
laid in the family vault in the
graveyard of that pretty little
Virginia village.
Members of the family made
frequent visits to the vault, and
while the sexton was cleaning up
and arranging some flowers to bo
placed on the casket, he heard a
faint voice, as though of someone
calling for assistance. Of course,
the old man was somewhat alarm
ed, but as he had seen many years
of service in the “city of the dead’’
ho did not leave the vault. He
listened closely and the voice was
distinctly heard again. Becoming
satisfied that the voice came from
within the casket he at once set
to work and opened it, discovering
that Mrs. Lee was alive. Releas
ing the poor woman from her
awful fate, assistance was soon
summoned and within a short
time she was safe in bed at her
home.
Mrs. Lee’s recovery was slow,
hut she did regain good health,
and a little more than a year after
she was buried alive her youngest
son, Robert E., was born, and
thus came into the world one of
her bravest men.

WRECK ON CENTRAL
SUNDAY MORNING.
Engineer Tarver is Killed
Intantly at M. & A.
Junction.
Miss Martha Barney was born in
Washington county about 85 years ago,
with the exception of one year, never
lived further than two miles from her
birth place. She married John W. Da
vis .January 6th, 185!), with whom she
lived a happy, useful life for nearly for
ty nine years. She distinguished her
self among her acquaintances by her
unceasing industry, frugality, hospital
ity aud charity.
Who can estimate the real value of
such a life? Honesty, truthfulness, vir
tue, loyalty to duty, fidelity to the causes
in which she believed, were so worthily
exemplified in her life! Who can price
what §he did, or estimate her real worth
to her home and loved ones, or to the
world?
Her body rests in the silent cemetery
nt Warthen, where sleep so many others
who have made that community a bless
ing to the world. Her grieved husband
knows how to lean on and trust in God.
May he find the comforter ever present
to help and cheer his life, and make this
its sail evening radiant with the glory
and bliss of a better world.
‘•The pains of death are past;
Labor and sorrow cease;
And life’s long warrfare, closed at
last,
Her soul is found in peace.”

For some (lavs past the rumor
has been current that the San
dersville Drug Compnny would
enlarge their business and manu
facture here certain remedies
which have been extensively used
in this county for several years
and in order to get at the facts, a
representative of Tub Herald in
quired at the drug store and their
statement in regard to the matter
was about as follows.
While it is true that they nre
making preparations at present to
manufacture several of their rem
edies which have grown popular
during the past few years, as cur
rently reported, it will perhaps be
sixty days before they will be
prepared to do so on a large scale,
as there will he some delay on ac
count of shipment of bottles and
labels necessary.
We were shown, however, a con
siderable quantity of perhaps the
most popular remedies in process
of manufacture, namely, their
“Cherry Balsam,” a remedy ex
tensively used in this county for
the past several years for coughs,
colds and lagrippe, and which is
frequently prescribed by physi
cians, and also the complexion
lotion, “Chapo,” a perfection of
what they have been selling to in
dividuals and barber shops for
some time under the name of
Face and Hand Lotion, and which
has gained the reputation of l>e-
ing a most excellent remedy for
chapped hands, tetter, etc., and
is known in Sandersville as a de
lightful skin lotion after shaving
or sunburn, or other irritation of
the skin.
The demand for Cherry Balsam
has been the natural outcome of
its use upon prescription and the
advertisement given it for the
past few years in this county by
its users and patrons of the drug
store who would recommend it to
others and the growth of the Bales
of this remedy led the company
to decide to go into the business
on a larger scnle.
The importance of such an en
terprise for Sandersville can not
he overestimated and that much
money will be brought here from
other sections admits of no doubt.
When the business gets thorough
ly established the company will
back the sale of these remedies by
their guarantee and their long
and successful trial in this county
have made friends for them whose
testimony as to their merit will
add greatly to the chances for
larger sales throughout this sec
tion.
A wreck occurred on the east bound
passenger train on the Central railroad
Sunday tnoruing at 2 o’clock near Gris
wold, five miles this side of Macon, in
which Engineer W. Bert Tarver lost his
life. The Macon Telegraph gives the
following acoount of the wreok:
Engineer Tarver has been an employe
of the road for a number of years, but
has been employed in the capacity of a
freight engineer. About two months ago
he obtaiued a leave of absence in order
to be at home with his wife who was
very ill. Recently he nnnonneed that
he was ready to return to work aud Sat
urday morning word was sent to him at
Savannah to oome to Macon and go out
ou No. 4, a passenger train. He arrived
iu Macou Saturday afternoon and left
Sunday morning nt 1:45 o’olook. Short
ly before the departure of his train he
was roundly congratulated upon his
promotiou aud wished a safe and pleas
ant trip.
‘Oh, I’ll make out all right,” he de
clared. ‘T’vo been over the road so
mauy times with a freight that I know
every inch of it.” Then he began talk-
iug of his wife aud twin children, the
latter of whom, a boy and a girl, are
not a mouth old. “Mrs. Tarver was
pleased very much that I should be giv
en a regular run ou n passenger,” ho
said, ‘‘and I left her iu the best of spir
its."
The Wreck.
The ill-fated train No. 4 was ten min
utes late iu leaving Sunday morning,
owiug to the fact that extra sleepers had
to be taken ou, with an unusually large
amount of baggage. Train No. 4 was
duo to meet No. 3 nt Griswold, a station
five miles from Macon, at 1:55 o’clock,
aud Eugmeer Turver ouly had teu min
utes iu which to make this distauce aud
muimain schedules.
Railroad ollicials believo that he put
ou extra speed after getting beyond the
city limits, aud that his train was going
at a rate of nearly fifty miles per hour
when the eugiue struck the broken
switch tour miles out,aud left the tracks.
This switch is connected with the main
hue of the Georgia road, aud it is be
lieved thut au engine of the latter was
the last to pass over it. An investiga
tion shows that it was broken, having
been spruug when Engineer Tarver’s
tram reached it.
The switch being half open, engine
No. 1624 immediately left the tracks aud
ran ou the cross nes for about twenty
yards. The ends of the ties on the left
hand side of the track were out entirely
oil'as if splinters, and despite the lact
that the engine was iucliued in that di
rection, when it plunged clear of the
track it went to the right, turning com
pletely over aud ploughing its way to
ibe depth of live feet into a dirt embauk
nieut, but for which the locomotive
would have run squarely into a negro
hut. As it was, the engine stopped with
in three feet of the structure.
The engineer was crushed to death by
the falling eugiue.
MRS. E. TWILLEY IS
LAID TO REST.
Beloved Sandersville Lady
Died Sunday of
Pneumonia.
Mrs. E. Twilley, a well beloved
lady of this city, died Sunday at
her home after a brief illness of
pneumonia.
For several days before her
death the friends of the family
and the husband and children
realized that her condition was
quite critical but it was hoped
until Saturday that her life might
be spared.
Mrs. Twilley died about noon
Sunday and her body was laid to
rest in the city cemetery Monday
afternoon. A large number of
friends of the family attended the
funeral and the esteem in which
Mrs. Twilley was held was attest
ed by many beautiful floral offer
ings.
Mrs. Twilley was a loyal and
consistent member of the Metho
dist church in this city, devoted
to her family and friends and
possessed many noble womanly
qualities.
Besides her husband Mrs. Twil
ley leaves three sons, Mr. Will
Twilley, engineer on the Sanders
ville railroad, Frauds Twilley, a
trusted and appreciated employee
of the Herald Publishing Compn
ny, and a younger son in school.

al services, which were held at
the Methodist church.
To the members of the family

sympathy.

There’s a good deal of satisfaction in knowing that the clothes you wear
are of good quality; all-wool and well tailored. Part of the pleasure in wear
ing clothes comes from knowing that they’re of the quality.
There’s a lot of cheap clothing made and sold; it’s made so that you’ll
think it is good, and you pay for what you think it is. II isn’t even low priced
sometimes.
The advantage to you in our Hart SchaffnerMark clothes is not sim
ply in what the are- all-wool, correct in style, perfectly tailored; it’s in what
you know they are. When you wear these you know you’re righ t: the mental
