CLARKE COUNTY’S PART IN (SETTING UP THE STATE EXHIBIT FOR THE WORLD’S FAIR. GOY. NORTHEN WRITES And Gives Several Suggestions as to the Work to be Done-The Pa triotic Task Laid Before Our People- ATHENS BANNER TtJESDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 2, 1892 Georgia is going to bave an exhibit at the World’s Fair in Chioago. And an executive committee, of which Governor W. J. Northen is chairman is going about the work of securing necessary funds to obtain it in a systematic and effective manner. It is certainly a work which should summon to its aid every true and loyal Georgian’s energies and attention. The Georgia Building. Georgia will have a building at Chi cago. It has already been assigned to our State, and a building committee has been appointed by Governor Northen. Mr. M. B. McGinty, our enterprising fellow citizen, has been appointed on this committee. The members of the building committee are already actively at work preparing plans to erect a building out of Georgia material to hold the exhibits of the Empire State of the South. The Sum to be Raised. Tbe sum of money necessary to be raised is one hundred thousand dollars and all that Clarke county is asked to give, is her pro rata share, which is something over $1,500, or about ten cents per capita. This amount can be raised iu Athens and Clarke county. Governor Northen is anxious for the school children to help, andbas written Capt. H. R. Bernard, our School Com missioner upon that subject. Among other things he says: “We will not expect large contributions from this source. If each child, attendant upon tbe public schools of the State* will give us a dime, we will obtain from this source more than one-fourth of the amount necessary to make the display. The intention of the committee is to have an elaborate educational display at the World’s Fair among tbe other Geor gia exhibits and the names of tbe schol ars who contribute will be indexed and recorded in the department of education at the capitol in Atlanta. The Ladles’ Work. Mrs. W. H. Felton, of Cartersville, is interesting herself very much in the laudable undertaking of getting the la dies wrought up in regard to this mat ter. Ordinary Herrington has been re quested to appoint tour ladies of Clarke county to assist tbe committee, of which Mrs. Felton is chairman, and will ap point them in a few days. The Farmers to Assist. One of the most important parts of the display at Chicago, will be the agricultural part, and Ordinary Herrington will appoint four of Clarke county’s best farmers to assist in getting up the Agricultural display for the Georgia department. Clarke county has her share to do, and she can be relied on to do it. DUST TO DUST. Funeral Services Over the of Mr. M. G. Watkins. On Sunday afternoon a very congregation assembled at the late home of Mr. M. G Watkins to pay the last tribute of respect to hiB memory. The fnneral services were conducted by Rev. E. D. Stone, who at the con clusion of tbe sermon read a loving tribute which the brethren of the de ceased,of East AthensMethodistChurch bad passed in their conference on Sab bath morning. Mr. Watkins was one of the oldest official members of that church, and his presence and labors will be greatly missed by that congregation Rev. T. O. Rorie closed the services in a few well-imted remarks in refer ence to the character of the deceased, and then offered up a fervent prayer in behalf of the bereaved family. The remains of Mr. Watkins were carried Monday to the family burying ground a few miles west of Maysville, where the last sad rites were performed and the body consigned to the dust urn til the resurrection morn.

Scudder Mon day Afternoon. AN AGED MOTHER IN ISRAEL Crosses the River and Enters Into the Better Life- Early Monday morning the life- work of an aged Christian woman was brought to a close. Mrs. T. W. Mabry mother of Mr. George Mabry, of this city, died at tbe residence of her grand daughter, Mrs. B. M. Chandler, in Bar- berville, very early in the morning Mrs. Mabry was in tbe 8'2nd year of her age, and having been in feeble health for some months, and quite sick for some weeks, her death was not unexpected. For many years she had been con nected with the ohurch, and her hum ble Cbristain life as well as the testi mony she left behind, gives her chil dren and friends the consoling reflec tion that she was ready when the sum mons came, and has entered into the rest prepared for the people of God. Mrs. Mabry leaves two sons and two daughters and a number of grand chil dren and a large circle of friends to mourn her death. The remains were interred at the the family burying grounds in Daniels ville Tuesday afternoon. its r “Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly.” Suoh were the sweet words sung by choir, composed of Miss Maggie Morton Mrs. C. M. Snelling, Prof. C. H. Herty and Prof. C. M. Strahan, Monday af ternoon at three o’clock, as the casket, containing the mortal remains of Mr, A.M Scudder, was borne into the Pres byterian church by the pall-bearers Messrs. H. C. White, A.

Rev. C. W. Lane read a lesson from tbe Scriptures after which the Choir sang “Peace of the Soul.” A fervent prayer was then offered up to the throne of grace by Dr. Lane. The choir sang that grand old hymn, “Bock of Ages,” and Dr. Lane offered a few remarks upon the life of the de parted father in Israel. Among the lessons that be drew, from his life were two very important ones. He always made it a rule to be present at one of‘the prayer meet ings of bis, church, and be always took a special interest in the sessions of Syn ods and Presbyteries and the govern ment of the church. At the request the family no funeral sermon was preached, and as tbe recessional hymn was sung by the choir, the body was borne forth to the hearse, and the sol emn cortege moved off to Oconee cem etery. • »“Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust.” Into the silent grave was lowered the mortal frame of one Athens’ oldest and most honored citi zens, but the memory of bis life shall ' long linger with onr citizens.

The body lay in a remote corner of the room, hidden from the sight of passers by some machinery.

He and two other Degrots were arrested, but there was nothing to hold them on- The murdered man’s watch and dia mond pin were gone, and his pockets were turned inside out.

Chief Hood arrested the parties as soon as the train arrived, and a most pathetic tale did he have from the girl, while the man listened uncon cernedly to it.

In the morning they took tbe train and came to Augusta. Then the arrest followed. Several times she could hardly speak, and was forced to stop to keep back her sobs and tears while telling her sad story. She was turned over to her uncle, Mr. Louis Roesel, of this city, until her fa ther came for her.

A Young Couple Overcome Many Obsta cles, and Marry, Greenville, Miss., Jan. 27.—The elopement aud marriage of a Kentucky bine grass belle has just come to light here. The particulars give a tinge of ramance to the affair, and makes the bride a heroine, inasmuch as she had failed three times in escaping parental vigilance to wed the man of her choice, hut the fourth crowned her efforts with success, and her head with a bridal wreath. Miss Allie Goasom, the daughter of Judge W. G. Gossorn of Bowling Green, Ky., bad given her heart and hand to L. L Loving, formerly of the above city, but now of Nashville, where he has headquarters as general manager for Palmer’s law and * collect ing agencies of Atlanta, Ga. The couple had prearranged that they would meet in Memphis on Dec. 9. Mr. Lov ing was promptly on hand, but the will ing bride was foiled in her attempt to evade the parental watch. On Jan. 6 her attempt was again an unsnccessfai one, and on Jan. 13 her plans were bet ter laid, as she thonght, and telegraphed her lover that she would be in Mem phis, but at the last minute her game was foiled. Mr. Loving arrived in Memphis, bnt could bear nothing from his expectant bride, so he came to Greenville, impressed that, perhaps she had come on here where she has Bister living, Mrs. A. J. Moore, with whom she spent last winter on a visit but she had not been seen. A telegraphic message to a friend of hers announced him here, and would await results. On last Wednesday night the young lady, under pretense of visit ing relatives in Barren county, took the midnight train for Memphis, and a friend of hers telegraphed Mr. Loving to meet her in Memphis. Tbe pair met the next day, and at the Methodist par sonage they were made man and wife by Dr. Ingram, and came on to this city to spend their honeymoon until the clouds of parental anger passed over, and a treaty of peace be established. .
