Peo ple have scarcely figured out how ft will be. Out of the 183 members of tho lower branches of the Legisla ture, there will be only 9 men who wero in the General Assembly last year. This will mean 144 new leg islators, and will entirely change the complexion of the House. So far as can be figured in ad vance, ‘he new body will be tho most non-partisan that Georgia has had in many years. Only a few of the new members have ever beea actively identified in a fighting senso with either the Joe Drown or *,<2# Hoke Smith faction. Nobody can predict who will be the new lead ers in the House. Joe Hill Hall, Hooper Alexander, John Holder, Randolph Anderson, are gone, and i* may be that men now entirely f i | unknown to the state at large will 'ITCH i lake their places.

The death of this most eailma- H»le lady, while not unlooked for, was one which brought much gri to her many loved ones. For four years she has been a long and pa tient sufferer, bearing without com plaint or murmur tho pain which was sent upon her, feeling that it came from One who "doeth .all things well,” and death, when it came, was a happy translation to a land where sickness and sutiering is no more.

She as married on March 3)th, 18S2, to the late C. C. Atkinson and has made her home in Thomasville ever since.

The funeral services were held at the residence this afternoon at four o’clock and were conducted by Rev. W. M. Harris, of the Baptist church.
