After a lingering illness, from
a complication of diseases, Mrs.
Clifford V. Loyless died Satur
day morning, February 3rd, at
the residence of her daughter,
Mrs. Wilmer 0. Peacock.
She was the widow of the late
H. M. Loyless, of Twiggs Coun
ty, who came to reside in this
town until the time of his death
15 years ago.
She belonged to one of the
wealthiest and most cultured
families, of Twiggs, in those days
before the South was touched by
the cruel hand of war.
For several years her health
had been feeble, but for the past
eleven weeks was confined to her
bed.
Mrs. Loyless was in her 69th"
year, and was an excellent wo
man, a member of the Baptist
church, a consecrated Christian
and a devoted mother. Always
gentle, thoughtful, self-sacrificing

everybody carried their dinner to

We have some splendid local

“rip roaring” success.
