A BEAUTIFUL LIFE ENDED IN THE
DEATH OF MRS. W. H. SHEATS
When the news went out last
Saturday evening at fi:3o o’clock
1 1Imt Mrs. W. 11. Shouts had gone
jto the great beyond to dwell thru
jail eternity with her Savior, a
gloom and sadness came ever eve
ry home in Winder, for in most
’every home she was known and
loved.
Her life had been one of love
and service for others, and the hu
man heart instinctively loves and
■ respects those who feel for others,
who minister to those aftteted
and sympathize with those who
sorrow.
This was one of the shining and
prominent characteristics of her
I beautiful life of 49 years, and it
t
had endeared her to all hearts and
all classes of persons.
She exemplified in her daily
walk that she really felt and be
lieved that the universe was but
one great city, full of beloved ones
!divine and human, by nature en
deared to each other.
Before her marriage in October
|1893, she was .Miss Martha Mae
bush and was the fourth.daughter
uf the late Dr. and Mrs. W. 11.
Bush. She was born in Winder
and had had never lived anywhere
else.
.Mrs. Sheafs was a consecrated
member of the Baptist church,
connecting herself with this body
of Christians under the pastoratt
of Rev. W. M. Code shortly after
her marriage.
The funeral service was held at
the Baptist church Monday after
noon and the large audience pres
ent attested the high esteem and
respect in which she was held by
those with whom she lived and
mingled.
The sendees was conducted by
her pastor. Rev. \Y. 11. Faust, as
sisted by Revs. W. M. Code, of
Wintervillc.Jno. 11. Mashburn and
Jim. 11. Wood, of this city. All
four of these ministers paid beau
tiful tributes to her pure and no
ble Christian life of sacrifice for
ot hers.
One of the touching scenes was
that of the old colored serv
ants that had been with her so
long, who attended the funeral
and who wept bitterly when they
looked at her dead form for the
last time.
j Mrs. Slieats leaves a large con
nection of brothers and sisters,
relatives and friends, but none
will miss her like the devoted hus
band and only child, .Miss Willie
.Mae Sheafs.
There w ill be many lonely hours
to those two, hours when their
lives will he tilled with sadness
and grief, for she was a wife and
mother in the truest sence. The
■only consolation for them is. that
,they know her better than all oth
ers and can have the blessed assur
jance that her life was one that
!caused l ei *o receive a welcome to
the home among the redeemed
that is only accorded those who
have served and sacrificed unsel
f shiy.for others.
Her body was laid to rest in
Rose Hill cemetery, the city of the
dead, but her life will be remem
bered and her deeds of kindness
cherished in the years yet to come.

WINDER CITIZENS OPPOSE STREET
CARNIVAL COMING HERE
The members of the many wom

by the \\ . tT. I’., have been cir
culating petitions to the Alaym
find Council, protesting ugainsl
the coming of street carnivals to

signatures have been obtained. On
account of sickness, many of the
people of the town have not been
seen. This the ladies regret, but
n n significant fl.probably P"!,
i.ore than half a dozen of thwe
approached have refused to sign.
Surely the authorities will recog
nize the overwhelming public sen
timent against these shows, and
will see to it that we shall never
again have to endure them in out
midst.
The petition is as follows: To
the Honorable Mayor and Council
jot the (’it.v of Winder;
Gentlemen :
We the undersigned citizens ol
W inder( and its various women's
organizations), realize tin- immor
al tendencies of street carnivals,
ami their demoralizing influence

ho H ly pray you not to aliov. an
other such carnival to visit our
city.
