Miss Maggie Young was in town
last Tuesday and called at this office
to see us as most of the young ladies
of the county do, when in town,
and among other things told us,
with regret, that it would be im
possible for her to attend the Con
federate Veteran’s re-union at
Rome next week, as a maid of
honor. We were also informed
that Miss Eula Newbern, whom it
was hoped would go, has declined
to go without Miss Maggie went
also. The friends of these popular
young ladies deeply regret that they
could not represent Coffee county
at the re-union.

Death of Mrs. Harrell-
One of the saddest deaths that
this section - has known for some
time occurred last Saturday, Sep
tember 3rd., in the early morning.
Mrs. M. J. Harrell, died suddenly
of heart-failure, at her home near
Downing, without any indication
that death was near. She started
to arise from her bed, spoke to her
husband, and without any out cry
fell back dead and breathed her
last in a few moments. She was
in her usual health and the blow
came totally unexpected. Her
daughters, Mrs. Gillis, of Fales
and Mrs. Tidwell, living near
Moultrie were notified at once, and
came to the home of sorrow as soon
as steam and horses could bring
them. Her remains were laid to
rest in the Carver grave yard by
loving hands with sorrowful hearts
on the following day. The
furneral was preached by Rev. T.
B. Stanford , of Douglas, Mrs.
Harrell was a daughter of Mr.
Henry Vickers Sr., one of the
county’s best citizens, a sister to
Mrs. C. E. Baker and Mrs. Joe
Daughtry and |a cousin to Mrs.
D. W. Gaskin. She was a wo
man of many virtues, a loving and
tender mother, a faithful wife and
friend. Her place will be hard to
fill in the Dowling settlement, and
will never be filled to the sorrowing
husband amd heart-broken children,
who have the sympathy of this en
tire community.

Thomas Watson, the Republican
Hireling.
The Fitzgerald Enterprise strikes
fire when it delivers a telling blow,
and Tom Watson may never know
or care for it, but*it appears that
the following is very near the
truth : “Tom Watson is intensely
intense, but sincere, never. No
man who was ever sincerly a
democrat could ever think of so
many mean things to say about it
as Tom Watson has already said.
Watson did not know the day be
fore he was nominated, as the peo
ple’s party candidate, whether he
would vote the democratic ticket
or not, and he required several days
consideration of the question in or
der to make up his mind. He’s a
scholar and a speaker, but the in
sincerest, rottenest of politicians
and many of his friends will always
believe that he is simply a hireling
of the republican campaign com
mittee, which is true. He is, no
doubt. His tax returns next year
will show the greatest increase in
the history of Watson’s career.”

Irene Writes to “Uncle Jim." *'
Clarkesville, Ga., -Aug. 30,
Dear Mr. Freeman :—We have
been here nearly three weeks, and
I have been having such a good
time that I had almost forgotten to
write you, but we missed getting
the Breeze last week which made
me think to write, as we want the
Breeze every week.
We are having a delightful time.
The weather is very pleasant.
We have on woolen undear clothes
and sleep under two quilts. While
it has not been so cold all the
time, still it has been very pleas
ant. I have taken several trips
to the mountains and the scenery
is just beautiful.
One who has never taken a trip
to this part of the country has no
idea that there is such scenery in
Georgia.
Papa came to see us Saturday
and will stay a week. He takes
us for a drive every day.
We will be up here several
weeks longer. lam enjoying my
self but am getting anxious to
get home and enter school, and be
with all my school mates again. I
wish you could take holiday and
come up and see this country, en
joy the water and climate for a
few days.
Your little friend,
Irene McDonald.
