In Memoriam
It has pleased the Supreme Ruler
ef the universe to call little Annie
Smith to the Kingdom on high.
It was God’s wish that she come to
Ids keeping that he sent a messen
ger for her soul on last Saturday af
ternoon at 1:30, Sept 9th.
Annie Lou Smitfy was the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Wright Smith
and was in her thirteenth year.
Tt was hard for people to realize
that their children aie only loaned
to them. But when tbv Grim
Reaper comes and takes them, we
then know and realize that we can
only how in submission to his will.
This child was truly the sunshine
of the home. She was the pet of
the neighborhood for her smiling
manner, and appreciation of every
little kindness.
The little voice and footsteps that
made music for her family will he
missed, and time alone can
heal the heart-aches through the
seeming long dreary days of waiting.
But “behind each dark cloud the
sun is still shining” for those who
seek the Great God on high for com
fort and joy. The entire commun
ity extends their sympathy. Her
absence will he felt by young and
old and especially by her playmates
of whom she was most populas and
most loved.
Many beautiful floral offerings
adorned the little casket that con
cealed the body that was laid to
rest in Weeping Pine Cemetery,
,Sunday afternoon.
Death of Infant
Little Quillian, Jr., the infant
son of Mr. and Mrs. S. CL Segars.
died Sunday morning at six o’clock,
after a short illness of one week.
The bereaved- parents have the
heart-felt sympathy of the commun
ity.

Telephone Property
From Twiggs County Citizen.
Last Tuesday, Mr. B. F. Abney,
representing the tSevensville-Cary
Telephone Company, purchased at
sheriff’s sale, in this city, the en
tire business of the Jeffersonville
Home Telephone Compay.
Mr. Abney called at the Citizen
office and announced that the new
owners of the local telephone system
will at once begin rebuilding and
putting in first-class Condition the
old inadequate system. Rural con
nections now existing will be con
tinued, and it is likely new connec
tions will* be made at an early date.
The representative of -the Stevens
ville-Cary Company authorizes the
Citizen to state that extraordinary
effort will be made to give the peo
ple of Jeffersonville perfect service.
A local exchange will he main
tained at Jeffersonville as formerly.
The company which has just ac
quired the Jeffersonville Home Tel
ephone Company has ample capital
with which to operate its properties,
and it is believed that a much more
| satisfactory era is dawning for local
users of telehpone. —Twiggs County
Citizen.
Friday morning, while the family
of E. P. Collins were at breakfast,
the infant child of Mrs. May Wil
liams, age one year, crawled from
the dining room to the hack porch,
climbed up on a can of slop and fell
over in it. The baby’s grand
mother, Mrs. Collins, missed her in
a minute after she left the room and
went out to look for her and found
her on the slop can with her body
submerged up to the armpits. She
reached her just in time to save her
as she would have been dead in a
few more minutes.
Prof Dyar Leaves
Dorminy Hill School
Prof. W. T. Dyar last Thursday
tendered to the board of trustees
his resignation as principal of the
school at Dorminy Hill, this county
and has accepted the principalship
of a school at Penia, in Crisp coun
ty near Cordole.
Prof. Dyar leaves the Dorminy
Hill school in much better condit
ion than it was wlitm he took charge
of it six years ago. At that timej
the enrollment was very small in.
i
comparison with what it is at pres- 1
ent, and the pupils have made
marked progress. It is understood
that the trustees and patrons are
well pleased with Pros. Dyer’s ser
vices and wanted him to continue
as the head of the school.
Prof. Dyer, in speaking of his res
ignation, said that he regretted very
much to leave Dorminy Hill as
there were some of the best people
in that community that he had
ever known in all his life, and that
he would always feel grateful to
them for the many kindnesses
shown him during his stay there,
hut owing to certain circumstances
unnecessary to be made public he
thought it best to make a change.

Maine Retains
Prohibition Law
Portland Me., Sep. 12 —With all
cities, towns and plantations re
ported and all but 195 verified by
clerk’s returns, a majority of 465
votes is show r n against the repeal of
constitutional prohibition.
CITIES ALL VOTED WET
As had been predicted, the cittes
were the chief strongholds of the re
peal faction, but tde majority of
12,000 in the total city vote was
barely sufficient, according to the
finest available returns, to offset the
votes of the rural communities.
Although the vote did not ex
ceed that of a year ago, when the
democrats swept the state, which
for years had piled up big republi
can majorities, the election was
without question, one of the m«st
interesting contests the state has
ever known.
CAMPAIGN HARD FOUGHT
There was not a home in any sec
tion of the state which had not been
flooded will literature sent out by
both partipf., while the voters were
waited ' an by personal workers
and haranged at public gatherings,
to casf their votes for or against
repeal. The result was that hun
dreds of voters who had not visitei.
thv polls for yeatS, with possible
exception of last year, were there.
Little excitement marked the
ing. Although the polls were crowd
ed during much of the time, it was
an orderly crowd, and gave the offi
cers little Or no trouble.
MAINE DRY SINCE 1857
Since 18.57 Maine lias had a stat
ute prohibiting the sale of intoxi
cating liqors and since 1884 prohi
biten lias been part of the constitu
tion. In the year of 1884, the
question of placing prohibition in
the constitution was put before the
people and prohibition won by a
majority of 45,988, carrying every
county in the state. Following
this the attacks of the anti-prohi
bitionists ceased for a time only to
he renewed in later years.
DEMOCRATS FORCED ISSUE.
The democratic party last year
made the re-submission of the con
stitutional amendment to the people
one of the planks of the platform.
The democrats swept the state in
the election and the legislature,
aided by some republican votes,
voted to put the matter before the
people.
Card of Thanks.
We desire to extend our heartfelt
thanks to our neighbors and friends
who were so kind and helpful to us
during the illness and death of onr
daughter Annie. We appreciate
your kindness more than words can
express.
Mr. and Mrs. Wright Smith.
