V’gnnrhan fr fn SAMUEL FRANKS HUDGINS. He Succumbs to Consumption Early Sunday Morning. Mr. Sam F. Hudgins, whose sickness was reported in these columns last week, died rather unexpectedly last Sunday morn ing at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Hudgins. Mr. Hudgins had been a patient, never-complaining sufferer from consumption for three or four years which became considerably worse about a year ago. At the time and even up to near death’s door the young man, together with his friends, while fearful as to the nature of the disease, were hopeful that it was some other trouble that would readily yield to proper medical treatment. None dreamed of the seriousness of his condition until the early part of last week when he began to have hemorrhages, which left him in a fearful weakened condi tion. He improved during the middle of the week and up to Sat urday his condition was thought improving. He suffered during that night, however, and early next morning, surrounded by his mother, brothers and sister, his sweet spirit wafted its way to the One that gave it, as if he had fall en into a delightful sleep. Not a sign of pain marked his brow, so gently did the summons come. Mr. Hudgins’ death was a great surprise to every one, and all day Sunday and Monday friends called and tendered their sympathy to the grief-stricken father, mother, sister and brothers, and to look upon the still form they loved so well. None could realize that the boy was dead, so sudden had the end come. Monday afternoon he was laid away in beautiful Oak Hill ceme tery by loving friends and the large concourse of people who at tended the funeral services be spoke the esteem in which he was held. The funeral services were most impressively conducted by Revs. A. W. Bealer, E. M, Craig and F. W. Ambler. A quartette beautifully rendered music suitable for the sad occasion, Mrs. A. B. Cunyus conducting. After the services at the home, the remains were turned over to the Knights of Pythias, of which lodge Mr. Hudgins had been a member for about five years. A large number of the Knights were pres ent and marched with the remains to the cemetery, where they were put away according to the beautiful custom of the order. The floral tributes were most love ly and beautiful. Mr. Hudgins would have been thirty years of age had he lived until the 25th of next November, and was born in Cartersville. He began the printing business as an apprentice on the old Free Press, C. H. C. Willingham editor, and the editor of this paper foreman. It soon developed that the lad through very small for his age was particularly bright and had in his composition the making of all that was desired in a printer. He soon mastered straight typesetting and he could set columns after columns with hardly an error. His ambi tion began to lead him into lines of artistic work, that is display work, and soon he had charge of all work in this department, thus demonstrating that the instinct of the true artist was in him. Artists in the printing business like those in those of paint and brush are born, not made, and the genius whose minds most beautifully array the leaden designs are much in demand. After leaving Cartersville he worked in two or three of the large concerns in Atlanta and was with the Rome Tribune for several yeai s. Leaving there he accepted a posi tion with the A. J. Showalter Printing Company, Dalton, and there his genius, by reason of the splendid equipment, was given full sway and how well he used it! He was the genius of the estab lishment and every contract that demanded the most superior work manship, was left to his deft fin gers and ingenuity, and none were disappointed. His fragile frame could not withstand the labor that demanded the poor boy’s care and soon the news came that he had broken down. This was a year ago. He came home and improv ed to such an extent that he re turned to his post, where he re mained until about one month ago, when he came home. Mr. Hudgins was of a most genial disposition, gentlemanly bearing, never obtrusive. Those who knew him best loved him pouQigt- -inA u-pll f h f v may for th/*v THE NEWS. found in him the noblest traits of character, always cheerful, yet positive in his declarations, never having an unkind word for any one. This was one of the young man’s great traits, he never spoke ill of any. He was a most faith ful employed, a good lriend and his many deeds of kindness will long be remembered. To the grief-stricken aged fath er and mother, prostrated, devot ed sister, and brothers the heart of the community goes out in the deepest, most genuine sorrow. The Rome Tribune of Tuesday prints the following from the gift ed pen of City Editor John C. Reece: Sam Hudgins is dead! That news brought a feeling of deep sadness to The Tribune of fice yesterday. He died at his home in Cartersville Sunday and was buried yesterday afternoon. Genial, k : ndly Sam Hudgins had taken “30” and tired eyes had closed forever and wan hands were folded over a true and knightly heart stilled in the dreamless calm of death Keen sorrow will be felt in the craft of printing all over th|s sec tion. Sam Hudgins was in The Tribune composing room for years, and no finer artist in the profession which he honored was ever seen in this city. He knew the business in all its unfinitude of minutia, and knowing loved it as a mother loves her child. What witchery of types his deft fingers and keen brain could weave his fellow craftmen knew and even the outside world would pause before the compelling beau ty of this unknown weaver of the art preservative. But the frail form could not stand the exactions of his profes sion—in some senses the most ex acting in the world —and about one year ago he had to lay aside stick and rule and wait for that end for which fate had so surely labeled him. He did not murmur or complain, but in the weary weeks of waiting for the coming of the Great Comforter, he made peace with his Maker. And he rests now in that long undisturbed dream which is alle viation for all suffering and sor row. His life here was brief but filled with deeds worth while. DEATH OF MRS. ATTAWAY. She Succumbs to the Grim Reap er Last Saturday Morning. At ten minutes past nine, Satur day morning, after a gradual de cline of three months, Mrs. W. S. Attaway passed quietly away at her home in the surburbs of Car tersville, surrounded by her fami ly and a few intimate friends. Mrs. Attaway was the widow of Mr. W. S. Attaway, who preceded her only a few years since. Prior to her marriage she was Miss Elizabeth Jane Henderson, and was born near Stilesboro, Nov. 24th, 1840.

While we mourn the loss we have sustained, we can but feel that our loss is her gain - The funeral service was con ducted at the Baptist church, in an impressive manner by the pas tor, Rev. A. W. Bealer at naif past 3 o’clock Sunday afternoon. Interment at Oak Hill cemetery. CARD of thanks. The family of the late Mrs. W. S.

One Being Organized for Carters ville People. Cartersville will have another lyceum course this season. Mr, E. W. Anderson, representing the Alkahest Lyceum System, of At lanta, was in town during the first part of this week arranging the course. He found that the idea of having this course of popnlar lec turers, impersonators, and musical concert companies, met the hearty approval and endorsement of the best people of the town; and is perfectly confident that he will succeed in placing the course. He will return to our town next week and complete the arrangements for the course. I he Alkahest Lyceum System is a comparatively new development in lyceum circles, but is meeting with unprecedented success in this line. It placed courses in about a hundred towns in Georgia and the neighboring states last season, and will more than double this num ber this season. This is vvhv it can place its attractions at such low prices, the talent being the best on the American platform. Every intelligent person in town should endorse and aid the lyceum. MATTER, OF PENSIONS. Judge Hendricks Receives Impor tant Circular Letter. Judge G. W. Hendricks, ordina ry of Bartow county, has received the two following circulars which explains themselves: Atlanta, Ga., June 15th, 1901. —Dfar Judge: lam now prepar ing my pension rolls for payment in 1902. My first duty is to exam ine and pass on all applications on file, or that may be filed by Sep tember 15th next. Those coming here after that date cannot be con sidered \iutil another year. You are requested to post this circular, and inform all your people who contemplate making an applica tion for a pension under either class provided for, to be paid, in 1902, to have their applications here by 15th September next, for on October Ist this part of my work will close, and submitted to the governor. J. W. Lindsey, Commissioner of Pensions. Atlanta, Ga.. June Bth, 1901. —Dear Judge: Owing to the re cent decision of the supreme court relative to the temporary use of the public property fund in the state treasury —the only fund out of which the indigent widows could have been paid, as no other provision was made for that pur pose this department has no funds with which to pay those ap proved for 1901. J. W. Lindsey, Commissioner of Pensions. Card from Mr. Haney. To The Editor of The News. I desire through your paper, to thank the good people of Carters ville, and especially those who live near me, for their many deeds of kindness, their many tokens of sympathy and their many messag es of cheer and comfort during my illness. While words and flowers are not often prescribed by our physicians, they are good medi cine and will make a fellow want to get well to see his friends again. I desire also, to thank the offi cials of our town for their interest and diligent action in the case. No boy was ever sick away from home ana treated more kindly. There is hospitality, liberality and just lots of Christianity among our people. There have been some unjust and unreasonable as well as false reports about my case and about the people who were exposed to me. Of course, the one who told these things first, could not be found in a thousand years. No one could be held totally responsi ble for it all. Like a snowball, these reports grow larger and gather many impurities as they are rolled on. My friends, I am glad to say, did not entertain them, and we can account for them by repeating an old adage that, “The mouths of some peo ple, who talk w'hen they don’t know, are like drunk men, they vomit up many things which they never eat.” For the sake of my friends as well as myself, I correct one thing. It has been circulated that I knew beforehand that I had been expos ed to small pox; or that I had been appiised of it by a letter. Every word of this is a mistake. No f'MUUUMt ALMOST UNANIMOUS VOTE ELECTRIC LIGHT BONDS CARRIED. As predicted in the last issue of The News the result of the elect ion last Saturday upon the elec|ric light bond question was near un animous. The News gave it as its opinion that out of 325 regis tered, 275 would vote for the issu ing of the bonds. The count shows that 269 votes were cast; 265 for bonds and four against. Possibly there never was more unanimity among the people of Cartersville upon any public ques tion than was upon this subject of electric lighting and its municipal ownership. It augurs well for the future of the town, the people are a£ last getting together. By this that he had been exposed to small pox would do as I have done, car ry the disease with him, take no precaution to try to make it light er, allow a great number of his verv best friends to be exposed to him while suffering with fever, his own mother and brothers, and never tell them. I was exposed to it, or I would never have had it; but I was told by the people, who are good peo ple and my friends, that it was chicken pox, and having had chicken pox, I never thought of having it again. Again thanking the people and wishing them prosperity and a full deliverance from small pox. I am very sincerely, R. F. Haney. CONSTITUTION’S OFFER.
