Its hard to part with those we
love under any circumstances, but 1
tis doubly hard to see the fond
mother in the noonday of life,
tom from the little ones, but this,
world is a hard one at best and ;
yfe must submit to the dispensa-' :
tions of provide nee. It was the'
decree of the' obe in whom she!
trusted, to call' her away from a'
little tinny form, to which she had|
given birth just two h©urs before’
her death, hut as it was her pleas
ure in life to live submisive to his 1

0 Mr— Daughtry entered the em- (
ployfnent of Col. H. J. Lainar a
few years ago, while he was but a
small boy, and served for a few
years as ; clerk, and his close atten
tion to business proved himself
worthy of entering into a broader
field of employment, and having a
position offered him with the
wholesale House of M. C. &J. F.
Kiser & Cos., of Atlanta he accept
ed and went into one of the de
partments of that popular house,
as‘salesman, and remained in that
nosition until a better and more
desirable position ' was offered r by
the firm of Fuller & Oglesby, as'
traveling salesman, which position
he filled with credit to himself, and
satisfaction to hi employers b- ul
he had 'Lolent uiuauq

life to the town, and the unpreee

our town for the last 12 months, 1
may credited, more than to any
other cause, to the proggressive
spirit of J. G. Daughtry, his, live
and let live policy, and his efforts
so build up a trade, remunerative
so Himself and beneficial to his
patron 3.
When Mr. Daughtry opened in
this place two years agp the “knpw
ing ones” “shook” their heads, in
distrust, “he can’t stand it” said
they, “the competition he will meet
here, will engulf him” and a gener
al improssion prevailed amongst
the “knowing ones,” that one year
would capsize the bark that had
launched on the boisterious sea of
trade, hut we are glad to know that
she has ‘-weathered” the storm, and
passed over the breakers of a treach
erous sea of trade two years, and
comes out a full “rigged ship”
stronger than “first launched”
in other words, the firm of Daugh
try" & Bro., is stronger to-day than
ever before with a credit surpass
ed by none in Middle Ga. Had it
not been for J. G. Daughtry we do
not see how some of our people
could have made their crops, he
has aided many with supplies that
could not obtain them elsewhere,
and they should sustain him at all
hazards next fall, for them to fail to
reciprocate his favors and come to
time when their crops is made
would be the basest of in gratitude.
Really we believe if it had not
been for his liberality, some of our
people would have actually suffered
