ty’s oldest and most honored citizens.
He had lived a long life, full of useful*
ness and Christian deeds and the uni
versal verdict is “a good man -gone up
higher.”
Mr. Mitchell was bom on February
8th, 1833, in Tallahassee, Fla. His
parents were Isaac W. Mitchell .and
Annie Mitchell. They came to Thomas
county when he was five years old and
he has lived here ever since, except the
years from 1868-1871 which he spent in
Tennessee. Mr. Mitchell attended school
in Thomasville and at the University of
Georgia.
He was first married to Miss Isabella
Reynolds on July 21, 1859, in Thomas

<jf Thomasville. It has been persistent
ly rumored that the hotel would not be
run again by the Boston firm, and in
fact, that it might not be open at all.
The rumor was caused simply by a
slight delay in the renewal of their lease
by Harvey & Wood, and was never a
well-grounded suspicion.
Harvey & Wood have many friends
both in Thomasville and among the
traveling 'public. They have always
made the Piney Woods a success and
have had as their guests there the high
est class of tourists possible. It is no
unusual thing for such persons as Rock
efeller-and Vanderbilt, Mrs. Pullman,
BCr. Hostetter, Governor Woodruff of
Wisconsin, Judge Lynde Harrison, and
their kind, to be visitors with Messrs.
Harvey & Wodd.
The remark was made last year by
the local manager of the Piney Woods,
that although he had been managing
large resort hotels most all his life he
had never yet seen one wliere the gem
oral average of the guests was quite so
high class as at the Piney Woods."
Harvey & Wood are Widely experi
enced hotel men. They have a chain of
hotels extending from Florida to Canada.
The headquarters of the firm are at
the Hotel Bellevue, Boston, Mass.,
which is open all the year around. In
the summer months they conduct a
number of .resort hotels in the north,
among which are Passaconaway Inn at
York CUffs, Me.

Mr.- lfitcheQ served in the Georgia
militia with honor and distinction dur
ing the war. Since that time he has
lived a busy and useful Ufe looking

ternity and an active worker of the
Methodist church, being, $ the time of
