friends to visit us and have a good
time.

Hrs. Pearl Stalsworth
Scruggs Passes Away.
Last Sunday after a few weeks
illness Mrs. Pearl Stalsworth
Scruggs passed away at a Sanito
rium in Atlanta. She passed into
an unconscious state in her room in
Athens, and fell with her arm in
the fire and was so horribly burned
that after being given attention by
the best physicians in Atlanta it was
found necessary to amputate her
hand, and later to amputate her
arm. The shock and suffering
proved fatal and Sunday afternoon
she passed away.
She was quite well known in the
city and county where she had
many relatives and friends. She
spent her life here until her mar
riage. She was the granddaughter
of Mrs. J. 11. McCallum and a
neice of Mrs. 1. 11. Carmichael and
Mrs. S. B. Kinard, of this city.
She is survived by her father and
mother, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Stals
worth and four sisters and two
brothers, all of Atlanta.
Her death was peculiarly sad and
every one deeply sympathizes with
the bereaved ones. The remains
were brought to Jackson and the
funeral services were conducted at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. B.
Kinard by I)r. VanDeveuter and
Rev. Mr. Bradley after which the
interment was in the city cemetery.

week creates much plensautcomment

most lovable young ladies and that
she will reside away from the city is
to be deeply regretted. Mr. Demp
sey who until recently was one of the
most promising young business men
of this city, has established a hard
ware business in Nashville, Ga.,and
lias been there several weeks.
Jackson’s contribution to Nash
ville’s social and business circles is
someth ng to be appreciated.

Mrs. Hollie Jackson
Passes Away.
Last Saturday afternoon at three
o’clock, Mfs. Mollie Jackson pass
ed away at the home of her brother,
Mr. J. T. Goodman, on Covington
Street. Mrs. Jackson suffered a
slight stroke of paralysis several
months ago and although able to be
up was never very strong, aud
Tuesday night of last week was
again strcken aud became uncon
scious and speechless, in which
state she lingered until Saturday
afternoon when her spirit went to
God who gave it. Mrs. Jackson
was a most lovable Christian char
acter and wherever she lived she
made hosts of warm friends. Her
gentle sweet life has left its impress
for good on all with with whom she
was associated. She was the daugh
ter of Rev. John Goodman who was
one of the pioneers of the county,
and was one of the charter mem
bers of the Baptist church.
The funeral services were con
ducted Sunday afternoon by Dr.
R. VanDeventer, at the Baptist
church where she had been a most
consistent member. The interment
was in the city cemetery.
The sleep of death to the Chris
tian is but the prelude to a joyful
day.
