M Rf. MARGARET BETTS
CLAfMED BY DEATH
Resident of Winder For 46 Years;
Most Beloved Woman in
Commurfity.
During the course of the past fe<w
months the shadow of Death has
stolen with an ever renewing fre
quency into Winder homes, and has
taken from us those we loved and
cherished. Its last victim was Mrs.
Margaret Betts, the oldest woman in
Winder and, it can be truthfully said,
the most deeply loved. Mrs. Betts
lived a life, which if exampled, bj
any person would bring them just
what it has brought her, the deepest
respect from all who met her, the
truest love from all who knew her
and in the end bring a rich reward
of eternal love, peace and happiness
in Heaven.
Mrs. Betts was taken seriously ill
about a week ago and since that
time rapidly declined, until her death
which occurred Tuesday evening
about nine cclock. Behind her &he
leaves four sisters,. Mfs. Fannie
Hosch of Dacula, Ga, Mrs. Martha
Odum and Miss Nancy Stanton oi
Winder and Mrs. Ermine Crew of Al
pharetta, Texas and one brother, Mr
H. P. Staton of Winder.
Tiiere were six children, Henry, Wil
lie and Nannie Kilgore and Ada, Ef
fie and Ermine Betts. These, with
the exception of Henry, the oldest,
and Effie the youngest, survive.
Mrs. Betts was born in Gwinnett
county in 1836. She became a mem
ber of the old Concord Methodist
Church at the age of ten years, and
since that time has been a resident
of Winder and devoted Christiaan.
She was sweet, gentle and loving,
spending her whole life energy for
the good of others. Her tender pres
ence will be missed not only by her
loved ones but by every person who
has had the pleasure of meeting her.
Funeral services were held at the
First Methodist Church yesterday
afternoon by Revs. N. E. Mcßreyer,
John H. Wood and W. H. Ftaust.
The floral offerings were beauti
ful as the life of her whose memory
they hallowed. Her body was laid
away in Rose Hill Cemetary. The
bereaved family has the deep synir
pathy of her friends and theirs.

MR. W. O. PERRY GOES WITH
N. GA. TRUST & BANKING CO.
The News has just been advised of
the fact that Mr. W. O. Perry has
secured substantial holdings in The
North Georgia Trust and Banking
Company and has been elected a Di
rector in that institution. It is under
stood that the Mayor will give more
or less active atttention to the af
fairs of this institution. No banking
institution here has made more rapid
and substantial advancement than
The North Georgia Trust and Bank
ing Company. Beginning in the ac
tive banking business a little less
than two years ago, this concern
nas forged ahead until now it ranks
as one of Winder's strongest banks.
As head of the city government,
Mr. Perry has made a splendid rec
ord in civic progress, and at the
same time his administration lower,
ed the tax rate from $1.30 to Jl.flW
on the hundred. The North Georgy/!
Trust and Banking Company is to. be-'
congratulated upon securing so vai
uable a man at tills time. . -
