Died, at his residence in seventeeth dis
trict, Bartow county, Ga., of apoplexy,
Mr. Thomas Gore, in 79th year of his
age. II is parents were Quakers, and
moved in an early day from Loudon
count}’, \ a., to South Carolina, where
the deceased was- born and raised. He
was a kind husband an affectionate father,
noted for his industry and honesty. On
the day of his deatli lie cut Some wood
and expressed himself as feeling unusu
ally well. He took a nap in the same
room where his family was sitting, and
on waking up about one o’clock, p. m.,
he made some remarks about putting
some more wood on the fire, in*a few
moments fell back on the bed and in less
than an hour was dead, lie was a brother
of Joshua Gore of this county. His be
loved relatives have the sympathy of the
entire community. Mr. Gore was a firm
believer in the Christian religion, and
held to the doctrine of the Methodist
church. lie died on the 17th ultimo.
At his residence, in same district on
the 12tli inst., Mr. Thomas Jemmerson,
in his 74th year. The deceased was a

citizen, dealing justly with all men.
yA erily” oiir oldest and best citizens are
vapidly passing away.
i In the same district on the 13th inst.,
of lung disease, Mr. Jno. S. Owens, aged
50 years. All with whom he came in
contact, either in a social or business
way, were favorably impressed with his
yheerful, generous, open-hearted disposi
tion, and he made many friends in all
parts of the county. He had a very re
tentive memory, and lie Whs probably
p? tter acquainted with the history of his
'county than any other living man.of his
day. He knew nearly every family in
the county, and was liked by all. His
manners were agreeable, and he had no
trouble in insinuating himself into the
good graces of all with whom he met.
He was elected tax collector before and
after the war, and was considered the
West electioneer the county ever had
'since the days of John Word. He was
confined to his bed more or less for the
past year. On Sunday evening just be
fore he died he talked calmly about
'death, and expressed his readiness and
willingness to go, and requested those
present to sing “Home, Sweet Home.”
These were his last words. A few mo
ments after the hymn was sung he passed
peacefully away, and we hope and be
lieve he has gone to that better country
beyond the grave, where the mortal puts
on immortality, and life becomes an end
less splendor. V.

A Visit to Euliarlee.
We paid our first visit to this place last
Saturday. It is located nine miles from
town in this county. It was once a place
of considerable business, but it is on the
decline. Some of our best citizens re
side there. The place is yet of more
importance than we thought before our
visit. The village is on the banks of Eu

months, and his pictures are of the finest
order. Some oF the finest photographs
M’e have ever seen are of his production,
and cannot he excelled anywhere nor by
any artist. During Mr. Boswell’s so
journ in our midst he has show n himself
to be a gentleman and has won many
friends. We can only wish him pros
perity wherever he goes, and express the
regret that he could not make it profita
ble to remain in our tOM’n. The citizens
of Dalton should feel proud of having
such an efficient resident artist in their
midst. May he live long and prosper.
A Railroad Smash.
As the Cartersvi lie accommodation
train left Atlanta Monday evening and
had passed the rolling mill, it came in
collision with tM’O freight cars which had
been left in the afternoon upon a sideling.
It appears that these had slipped down
to the switch and on the main track, the
result, of course, of carlessness. The en
gine w as badly smashed up and stripped of
its machinery, and the coaches had their
butlers broken oft' and otherM’ise serious
ly injured. As good fortune would have
it po one M r as hurt of the many passen
gers aboard. This is the first and we
hope will be the only accident to happen
to the Cartersville accommodation tram
which has become so popular M’ith our
people.
The New York Store.
* Attention is disected to the advertise
ment of the Yew York store, Mr. Charles
Auerbach, proprietor. There may be
found a large stock of goods from which
selections can be made to suit the tastes
of all purchasers. We have known
Charlie for many years, and have always
found him a fair dealer. He is attentive
to business and is always polite and cour
teous to customers. His prices are ex
ceedingly' low for the cash; and having
purchased his stock for the cash he is
thereby enabled to sell on close margin
for his profits. Give him a call.

exemplary member of the Baptist church

husljknd and four small children. May a
kind Providence comfort the bereaved
husband and shelter the motherless chil
dren from the evils of coming life.

A Novel Feauture
Presents itself to those who use Dr.

of its rare and remarkable merits. Many

druft* and falling hair, are aehivements
for M’hich we have reason to feel proud.
A patron assures us that he has used
tMelve different hair preparations and
that Parker’s Hair Balsam surpasses them
all. To hair that has become gray or fad
ed, it restores that beautiful natural col
or of youth, and produces a vigor and
luxuriance that surprises every one. Buy
