MISS death.
She Dies a/he Noble Sanitarium
in Atlanta.
viicc ula S. Cleohorn died
Monday / 12:40 at Dr. Noble’s
son it am/ in Atlanta after a lm
„erin(r i/ness of several weeks.
Dwo/td chastened sorrow was
manife/in this city where she had
sne.w t/e vears of her beautiful
Christian life. God had given to
her in/mte tenderness and sweet
ness } character. Her whole life
was /n open book, because she
iivedtlose to the precepts of her
divi/e Master. Cultured, refined
W [J that shrinking from all world
lvOstentation which is the most
exquisite atribute of perfect wo
tJinhood her memory will linger
J ue and uplifting to all who knew
fie r.
Here in this city all knew and
'loved her. She was keenly sym
pathetic with all sorrow or suffer
ing: she loved flowers, innocent
childhood , all that was pu.e and
good. Truly such lives are an in
spiration and a beacon light to
lowly souls who see not the star
of eternal hope ir. the darkness of
despair.
She bore with rarest patience
weeks of intense suffering, and as
the tide c f mortal life slowly ebb
ed, no complaint or murmur fell
from her lips. That perfection of
walk and thought in former days
made her spirit strong to bear the
last great trial, and she faced the
unknown vyay with shining eves
and trusting heart because the ev
erlastng arms were about her.
Her sister, Mrs. Mary C. Hills
was with her ten days before the
summons came. Mrs. Annie
Whitehead, of Rockmart, and
Miss Annie May Cole, o: Carters
ville, were with her, too, and she
died happily with loved ones at
her side.
The remains were brought to
Cartersville Wednesday morning,
and the funeral took place from
the Baptist church at 11 o’clock.
Rev. Alex Bealer’s remarks were
very tender and comforting, and
the music was beautiful. Mrs.
Felton Jones and Mrs. A. B. Cun
yus sang solos with great feeling
and sympathy. The pallbearers
were Messrs. Richard Clayton,
Ewing Jolly, M. F. Word, Joe
Calhoun. J. W. Cunyus, and Dr.
W. L. Cason. A wealth of ex
quisite flowers covered the casket.
WAS OF GENTLE RLOOl).
Miss Cleghorn was the daugh
ter of the late James and Sarah
Douthit Cleghorn, of this county
and is survived by her sister Mrs.
Mary C. Hills, of El Paso, Texas,
and brother, William D. Cleghorn,
of Bartow.
She was of distinguished ances
try, and that rare grace of gentle
blood was always apparent in her
life. On the paternal side she
came of a line of fine old Scotch
Presbyterian ministers and pio
neers in the early history of the
country. Her great grandfather
was a Scotch Presbyterian divine,
her grandfather made powder for
the war of 1812. Her great grand
father was a manufacturer of gun
powder for the revolutionary war.
Her grandmother was Love Coop
er, from Maryland, her grandfath
er, Wm. Douthit, from Virginia,
The Douthit family came origi
nally from Maryland and Virginia
One of her descendants was the
Rev. Thomas Cooper, of North
Carolina, a famous Methodist di
vine of his day. Her father, James
Cleghorn, had only one brother,
Chas. Cleghorn, of Columbus,
Ga , and a half brother, William
Cleghorn, of Chattooga county.
I o the bereaved kin the truest
sympathy goes out in this time
w hen sorrow is keenest. But al
vvays it seems darkest just before
the tryst of the night and the
a "’n. and the deepest consolation
after all i s j n that sublime faith
that God in mysterious ways
mo ‘'e # s His wonders to perform.

ENLARGED PICTURE FRAUD
He Seems to Be Operating in This
Section.
The people should look out for
the picture enlarging man. Sev
eral have been reported through
out north Georgia and Carters
ville and vicinity" are their territory
just as much as any other.
The genus home that comes
under this head is the fellow that
calls around generally among the
lowly and ignorant, as the
agent of a large picture enlarging
concern in the north or east, who
always do first class work at a very
low price. He gets a photo of
“our little Willie" or probably of
some d_ar departed one, collects
in advance and that is the
last of the man, picture, and cash,
at least so far as the foolish victim
is concerned.
One of these gentlemen was
arrested in Chattanooga Sunday
who had 200 photographs in his
possession, that he had secured
from his dupes. These fellows
sometimes takes photos and in a
few days notify" their victims that
the work is ready", but it would be
necessary to remit a large sum for
a frame wherein it had been placed
Of course the frame is “cheap”
and when the money is sent it may
come or it may not. It is always
a safe plan to do business with
your local people anyhow and then
you run no risk.

THE NEWS.
AFFLICTED WITH SMALL
POX.
Mr. R. B. Haney Catches the Dis
ease, Now Nearly Well.
Considerable anxiety was mani
fested in Cartersviile last Friday
when it was made known that Mr.
R. B. Haney, the young lawyer,
was confined at the home of Mr.
Nat Duntvihoo with small-pox.
Mr. Haney is of the opinion ‘that
he contracted the disease in Allan
ta.
With her usual promptness,
Cartersviile met the occasion,
quarantining the house and its oc
cupants and putting them under
guard clay and night. Mr. Haney
is under the treatment of Dr. F.
R. Calhoun, and will soon be out.
No evidence of any one contract
ing the disease has manifested it
self. and the utmost precaution
has been and is being taken, con
sequently the people are not in the
least disturbed but are cautious.
It will be remembered that three
years ago when there was much of
the disease over the county, our
people were all pretty well vacci
nated. The city fathers have sup
plied the local physicians with
vaccine virus points, with instruc
tions to compel vaccination where
it has not been done. The physi
cions report that nearly everybody
was vaccinated successfully three
years ago, and they have little to
do now.
Many wild reports have been cir
culated over the county as to the
single case in Cartersviile which
are ludicious in the light of the
facts of the case. There is one
thing the people of the country
that trade in Cartersviile can de
pend upon. The city authorities
of the town are going ro properly
protect the health of the people.
The manner in which they took
charge of the single case of small
pox was very commendable. They
have no desire or intention to hide
anything. They can depend upon
the true facts being promptly
known.
The News does not believe in
concealing facts, especially when
these are not calculated to do any
harm, when they are properly put
before the people. The people
can always depend upon The
News stating those when neces
sary".
The News nor do the physicians
or citizens believe there is any
danger, but at the same time
proper precaution will be
ised. Asa precautionary measure
and owing to the fact that the term
is practically ended, the public
examinations at the schools were
ordered off, thus dismissing the
children. Public exercises will be
had as advertised, however.
Mr. W. D. Rowland, county
commissioner, who had the matter
of the case in hand, located on the
Mahan place near Cassville, re
ports that the patient has been dis
missed and the occupants of the
house who have been exposed,
will be dismissed next Tuesday it
there are no further developments.
Mr Rowland has been very watch
ful in this case and the people of
the communit " are grateful. In
justice to Mr. Rowland it would
be well enough to state that he
has made no changes against the
county for the interest and effort
he has made in this case, though
losing several days from his pri
vate interests.
LYING THE PREVALENT SIN
That is the Position Rev. Alex W.
Bealtr Will Take in His
Sunday Sermon.
Next Sunday morning Rev. A.
W. Bealer, in his sermon at the
Bapjtist church will take for his
subject “The Sin of Lying.” He
maintains that this is the preva
lent sin of the age and people, es
pecially profes ing Christians are
being entangled in its meshes.
The gospel in chalk in the shape
of a picture sermon on the black
board will be preached to the
children at the close of the Sunday
school. The usual service at
at night will be held. The sub
ject of the sermon being “Jesus
Christas an Author." Everybody
cordially invited to attend these
services.
WILL COME BACK
Mr. Dave Gaines Leaves Anniston
for Cartersville.
Mr. D. R. Gaines, who went to
Anniston, Ala., several months
ago to engage in the marble busi
ness is moving back to Carters
ville this week. His many friends
are all glad to have him and his
interesting family back.
CARTERSVIILE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY. MAY 44. 1901.
A "BAD" NIGGER.
He is Landed in Jail for Wife-
Beating and Pistol Toting.
Richard Bailey, colored, hailing
Faylorsville as his home, is in
Bartow county jail, awaiting some
one lo go on two big bonds or for
a hearing before judge Fite in
July.
Richard, it is claimed, when not
Otherwise engaged, puts in his
spare moments in beating his
wife. A few days ago, after giving
her one of -his usual dressing
downs pulled a gun and threaten
ed to send her lienee instanter is
she did do some little trivial thing
he desired.
She thought the lime had come
for an entire change of programme
as she had somewhat wearied of
these beatings, and, in the stillness
ot the night, departed from the
hovel of her liege lord and came
to Cartersviile.
Richard followed her Saturday
and proceeded to locate his truant
spouse. He found her and pro
ceeded to finish up the whipping
commenced in Taylorsville. She
escaped, and at once swore out a
warrant for Richard. The war
rant was placed in the hands of
Sheriff R. L. Griffin, who proceed
ed to the place where Richard was
; said to be stopp ng. As Mr. Grif
| fin drew near h m the negro threw
| his hand into his inside coat pock
let. Instantly the officer covered
I him and grabbed his arm. He
; was endeavoring to pull his gun,
Mr. Griffin thinks. The negro
says he was “just gitting ready to
give up de gun.”
I lie was brought to town, given
trial and bound over.
AND IT RAINED.
The Backbone of the Spring
Drouth at Last Broken.
This section and especially in
Bartow county, has been visited
,bf copious rains in the past few
days.
Sunday afternoon it commenced,
and that night, the following day"
and night it rained incessantly.
Whiie it fell gently nearly the
whole time, yet at times it was
rather hard.
The creeks and branches Tues
day morning were a sight to be
hold and it was an easv matter to
prophecy" an Etowah river freshet.
That stream by Tuesday night
was a hummer, overspread over
the magnificent plantations that
lined its banks, with their vast
crop of cotton and corn jusi peep
ing t Trough and nearly ready for
the hoe and plow. The farms of
Dr. Baker, Thos. Jones, John
Brown, the Leakes, John Trotters,
lay alongside the river and
the extent of the damage to their
crops is not known.
It was feared that much damage
would befall the big corn mill
in course of erection, of Mr. Geo.
Brooks, but it escaped.
Tuesday the people were forci
bly reminded of the fearful spell
of last year’s wetness, when it rain
ed for 28 days, and began to tear
that they were in for the same ex
perience this year.
With a few days of sunshine
however, things will be righted
and the big crops will get on a
boom that will startle vou.

KILLING NEAR TAYLORS
VILLE.
Mr. Stroud Killed By J. J. Goss
Monday Evening.
Reports reach this city of the
killing of a Mr. S.roud, a few
miles from Taylorsville, over in
Polk county Monday evening.
From meager information ob
tainable it seems that Stioud was
a tenant of Goss and were using
water from the same well. The
water was getting low and Goss
requested Stroud to desist using
the water. To this it is said that
Stroud replied with oaths, that he
was to be furnished water. Goss
took the bucket from the rope.
Stroud brought his rope and buck
et along Monday morning and
when told by Mrs. Goss to go to
another well he, it is said, cursed
her. That evening after Goss had
retired Stroud visited the well
again, and when, upon being re
monstrated with, began cursing
Goss who seized his gun and fir
ed at Stroud, filling his breast
and face with buckshot, killing
him instantly. The coroner of
Polk county held an inquest Tues
dar and Goss was landed in Polk
county jail.
Goss is said to be about 54 years
of age, while Stroud is about 25.
He married a daughter of the late
William 11. Law, of this county,
about two years ago. and had
many acquaintances in this vicini
ty.

DIED VERY SUDDENLY.
George S. Lockridge, of Stiles
boro, Expires Sunday
Morning.
Mr. George S. Lockridge, a
young farmer, living on the old
Riley Milam farm near Stilesboro,
died very suddenly about 4:30
o’clock Sunday morning.
He had arisen and on returning to
bed remarked to his wife that it was
about ready to arise to get ready
to attend meeting at Zion Hill that
morning. She replied that every
thing nearly had been prepared
the day previous, He laid down
and soon his wife noticed that he
was breathing heavily". She went
to his side and raised him up and
began rubbing him. Suddenly he
gave a gasp or two and fell back
dead. The physicians give it as
their opinion that he died of neu
ralgia of the heart. He had been
complaining to some extentduring
the spring, but nothing serious
was thought the matter with him.
The deceased was a most exem
plary young man, 36 years of age,
and leaves a widow and nine chil
dren, the oldest being 15 years of
age. He had pitched a fine crop
and had it in fine shape and was
moving every energy for success.
He was an untiring worker, a kind
husband and devoted father, and
his death has cast a deep gloom
among his relatives and those who
knew him.
He was the eldest son of Mr.
George W. Lockridge, the veteran
mail carrier. The fami’y, the
widow and the little orphans have
the sympathy of all. He was bur
ied at Zion Hill Monday.
