A GOOD MAN GONE.
Rev. Thos. M. Eoster Grosses the
Great Divide—Funeral Preached
Snnday at Christian Ghurch.
It is with sadness that we chron
icle the death of our fellow towns
man, Rev. Thomas M. Foster,
which took place at a private san
atorium in Atlanta on Saturday
morning last, at 7 p. m Rev.
Foster had gone there for an oper
ation which was performed several
days previous to his death. The
shock was more than he could
l>e.ar.
Mr. Foster was a native of Chris
tian county, Kentucky, was reared
on a farm and in early manhood en
tered Kentucky Cniversity, and in
<8172, graduated from the 'rheolog
ical department of that institution.
Soon after graduation he enteied
he entered the evangelistic field in
Kentucky, and met with marked
success.
In 1873 he came to Georgia and
located in Walton county, where he
entered upon his ministerial duties,
which were continuous to within
one week of his death, having
preached the Sunday before his
death at Hampton, Henry county-
Mr. Foster's career was remark
able in many ways. lie was an
humble, inassuming man, yet popu
lar with all classes of people, and
numbered his friends by his ac
quaintances. Ih* represented Oco
nee county in the legislature for
two terms, and was elected without
a newspaper notice ora day’s can
vass. He was married twice. His
first wife was Miss Janie Paxon, of
Walton county, and his second wife
was Miss Pansie Thompson, of
Oconee county. He leaves to
mourn their loss his wife, eight sons
and two daughters. His daughters
are Mrs. Walter Wood is, of Stone
Mountain, and Miss Lois Foster, of
Winder, His sons are T. M. Fos
ter, Jr., of Jackson, Miss.; W. 07",
B. F. and Clifford, of Lexington,
Ky., and R. 0. Foster, of Atlanta 1 —
a noble set of young men —three of
whom are studying for the ministry.
Besides these he leaves three small
hoys, sous of his second marriage.
These are Vernon, Gustavus and
Ralph. They have left to them a
rich inheritance in the life of a
noble father.
The funeral services were con
ducted at the Christian church
Sunday afternoon by John H Wood, j
the pastor, assisted by liey. Chas- j
tain, of Monroe, and a number of
others. It was an impressive ser
vice and was witnessd by a large ]
concourse of sorrowing relatives and
friends.
The floral offerings were numer
ous and beautiful.
The body was interred at Mt.
Vernon church, in Walton county,
Monday morning with Masonic
honors. A great and good man j
has fallen —a man who was not
circumscribed by any creed, hut
was the friend and benefactor of
all men.
Will Preach at Christian Church

will preach at the Christian church
SUndny morning and night. Broth -

promise and all members are urged
to hear him, and all friends are in

EVIDENTLY WANTS GORNER GUT.
The following communication was
handed us by one of Winder’s rep
resentative citizens with th(* request
that we give it space in our columns:
Editor News —In your last issue
appeared an editorial placing in
j nomination the name of R. L.
Carithers as a suitable candidate for
a seat in the lower house of repre
sentatives, and asked those who
would second the same to drop you
a card. It is true, as you say, that
Winder has rapidly grown from a
cross-roads village to a city of 4,800
citizens, and her taxpayers are the
heaviest in th<‘ county (and they
live on Pig Tail alley). They are
public spirited and full of energy,
and at the head of them stands
Mayor R. L. Carithers (who owns a
lot on Pig Tail alley.) You suggest
that some sections of the county
have received more consideration
and better treatment than others by
her representatives. So might it Ih>
with property owners of Pig Tail
alley. But , you say, legislative
timber should be broad enough to
represent the whole caunty regard
less of section from whence he hails;
so should the, officials who broad
ened Pig Tail alley. You say this
is true, and such a man is R. L.
Carithers (who owns a lot on Pig
Tail alley). 1 think you correct in
your views as opposing a life tenure
in office; 1 also* think the sections
from whence the candidates come
should l>e changed. (So might
sections on ‘‘Pig Tail” alley.) And
as you offer Bob Carithers as a
candidate, a suitable man fur the
county, he might also Ih* offered as
a suitable man to make the desired
change on Pig Tail alley. You say
you wrote the editorial without the
I
knowledge or consent of Mr-
Carithers; —just threw it out forwhat
it was worth; so I write this with
out the knowledge or consent of the
people of Winder or property own
ers on Pig Tail alley. Yours truly,
Voter.
.THE FURNITURE MAN.
Probably knows more about the
real worth of furniture than the
average, customer, and if you are
one of these average customers you
should leave this point almost en
tirely to him. But as to the price
you wish to pay and the style you
prefer, the furniture man leaves
that entirely to his customers.
In order that all may find some
thing to suit them, this store has
collected worthy examples of just
about all the styles that are in vogue
t< slay-
We ask you to give this showing
a look over, even if you do nothing
but look the time taken up to do
this will not be wasted. Why not
come? W. T. Robinson.
Will Kunfor Sheriff.
We have been authorized by Mr.
W. I>. Stark, deputy sheriff of Wal
ton county, to state positively that
he will be a caneidate for sheriff of
that county, and that his formal
announcement will apppear In The
News at the proper time.
It will be remembered that all
candidates, with one exception,
from Gwinnett and Walton coun
ties who placed their announcements
in the News in 1008, went .under
the wire a winner, and the defeated
one ran a close second in a fast
field. •

A man of high ideals, and who
wants to look as neat as a Chester

suits, a Strange Special hat, a Royal
collar, a Waterhouse tie —and then
do you think he would look dressed?
he must have a Boyden or
Walk-Over 1910 pump, if the pul>-
lic should say that's a neat man-
We have the dainty cotton jabots
and the small accessories, such as
beauty pins, veil pins, collar pins,
cord ruche, silk hose and Ziegler
pumps. You must have the new
hair turban, a coronot braid and
the beautiful pins used about

your hair is just as essential as your
frock or shoe.
Come and see these two great
stores, all under one roof.' Every
thing new. Not an old piece of
goods to greet you. Just come in
