The material sometimes runs
short. Painters who are in the
habit of estimating for Pure Lead
and Oil work, find, when the
HORSE SHOE BRAND is used,
they have considerable Paint left.
The HORSE SHOE BRAND is
a combination of Zinc and Lead.
It’s the Zinc that makes it go
further.
Zinc carries more Oil than Lead.
“Oil is the life of Paint.” Lead
alone does not carry enough Oil
and always “Chalks.”
The Zinc supplies the lack of
Oil, makes the Paint spread further
and stops the chalking.
The two pigments make a better
Paint than either alone; both
should be pure, of course.
We guarantee that, and prove it
by chemical analysis.
The HORSE SHOE means the
best in Paints. It’s the top notch
of excellence.
It’s all Paint, all pure, and no
worry.
You may go further, but you 11
only get tired.
There’s nothing better possible.

Accident Occurred While Shooting
Rats In His Barn-
DEATH RESULTED INSTANTLY-
Body Found by His Daughter Soon
Afterwards—Resident Here
Several Years.
The news of the unforiunate
death of Mr. H. E. Cary which
occurred at his home in Atlanta
last Friday morning was a severe
shock to his friends in Cartersville,
who were loath to believe the truth
of the information which came over
the ’phone.
Mr. Cary and his family resided
here seven or eight years, and he
was well known to a large circle of
friends, his position as cashier of
the Bank of Cartersville bringing
him in contact with people from
all over the county. He resigned
his position with the bank and
moved to Atlanta about a year and
a half ago. The Atlanta News
gives the following account of the
accident:
Mr. Henry E. Cary, of 172
Juniper street, was this morning,
about 9:30 o’clock, killed by the
discharge of a gun in his own
hands, while he was in his barn
shooting rats.
The tragedy was a particularly
shocking one, as Mr, Cary seemed
to be in the best of health and
spirits, and was to go into town
with his daughter later on. He
had asked hei: when she would be
ready, and she answered: “In about
fifteen minutes.” Mr. Cary then
said he would go out in the barn
and kill some rats. He left hi?
coat in the house, and loading his
shotgun in both barrels, went out
leaving the members of his family
in the house.
A gun shot was heard a few
minutes afterwards, but nothing
was thought of it. As he did not
appear, however, his daughter left
the house and came into town by
herself. After about 1 alf an hour

The barn in which Mr. Cary was
killed contained two stalls, one
haying a front wall. It was across
this corner that the gun was lying
with a nail pressing against the
trigger, which fired the left-hand
barrel. Mr. Cary was lying on

The coroner was also telephoned
for, and arrived in about two houis.
The inquest resulted in a verdict
of accidental death by deceased’s
own hands.
While there are some indications
which would point to suicide, yet
the general opinion is that the
death of Mr. Cary was an accident,
as he was in the best of health,
and, so far as is known, was not
troubled with any embarrassment.

Could I have looked in his face, filled
with glory,
And seen the glad light in his heav
en-bent eyes,
I know I could have read the sweet
story
Of the mansions far up in the skies.
For I have wondered so often if mor
tals,
At last when the curtain was drawn,
Could see, through the wide open
portals,
The light of eternity’s dawn.
But he is gone—what but trusting
an ' hoping,
\\ liat but trust in the power that
made,
What but hope while in gloom we are
groping.
What but work till at rest we are
laid?
Behind us the shadows grow longer
As the evening of night draweth
nigh,
Our faith in the infinite grows
stronger.
For with God’s chosen we shall see
him by.and by.

W- L GOODWIN DEAD-
Old and Well-Known Citizen Passes
Awav .Last Week
Mr. W. L. Goodwin, an old and
well known citizen of Cartersville,
died last Wednesday. His death
was from general debility, his
health having been gradually on
the decline for several years-
He was born 73 years ago in
Ohio, near Cincinnati, and moved
to Georgia in 1857. For years he
ran a flour mill at the old Cooper
works, on the river, and was con
nected in various ways with the
large plant up to the time the Fed
eral army came and closed up the
works.
After the war he went to the
legislature as a republican, being
a colleague of Col. Ford, being
given his seat because ot the disa
bilities of Mike Crawford. He
was in the revenue service, both as
marshal and deputy collector, un
der Smythe. He moved in the
later eighties to Huntsville, Ala ,
where he held the position of
United States Circuit Court Com
missioner. He returned, after a
few years, to Cartersville-
He leaves a wife and children,
Thomas Goodwin, of Baltimore;
Earl Goodwin, of Ohio; william
Goodwin, of Memphis; Mrs. Ran
dall, of Rockmart; and Misses
Pearl, Ruby and Fannie Belle
Goodwin, of this city.
He was a member of the Meth
odist church, and, though not de
monstrative, his demeanor was
circumspect- Asa citizen he was
respected because of his honesty,
frank and sincere nature and his
consistency.
The funeral occurred from the
house Thursday. Rev- T. J. Chris
tian conducted the religious part.
He was buried with Masonic hon
ors.
