Tho death of Judge II. J. Mar-
shall on Sunday morning last
takes away another of the
marks of Jones county. He lacked
two dnvs of being 72 years
He has been a just loo of the
pouce for twenty-five or thirty
y t ‘ nr8 - He was married to Miss
Lizzie Culpepper of Warren conn-
ty nearly fifty years ago and the
puir have been living happily
getber all these years. The Judge
w hs something of a living
clopedin. We went to Jiim for in-
formation of every kind. He was
perhaps better posted than
any man on Jones county
history. On Saturday before his
death on Sunday morning lie held
justice court, and while he com-
plained a little, no one 1 bought
ho was at all seriously sick. Ho
«a>d to me: “I feel a little bad
today, and the first thinganybody
knows I’ll go out like a candle.”
He was buried Monday morning
at the Round Oak cemetery with
Masonic honors,
Mrs. Jane King, mother of Mrs.
G B White and J J King of our
town, died a ft w days ago at,
homo of Mr. and Mrs. G B White.
Mrs. King’s health had t een bad
for some time and her death was
not at all unexpected. She seemed
simply to wear out from old ago.
I have spent many happy hours
at her home near Sugar Hill while
she had four of her children with
her, though they are all married
now. Mrs. King was big-hearted,
liberal in her views, loved the
company of young folks, nodes-
peeiallyTlid she enjoy a gecd joke.
But few better women ever lived
in this world than she.
The new house of Mr. W. H.
Barron has just, been completed
and is one of the prettiest homes
in this countv. Mr. and Mrs.
Bari on were in Macon Monday
buying every item of furniture
with which to fit up the house in
keeping with the workmanship
and general plan of this modern
and beautiful home. May Die fu¬
ture lives til this young couple be
in perfect harmony and beauteous
blending with the house they are
soon to occupy. In my imagina¬
tion I tack a horse shoo over
the door, throw and old shoo and
a handful! of rice after them as
they pass the threshold of their
cling” lovely home, and say; ‘‘May you
to each other like the lionej r -
suckle over the door, and like it,
sweeten nil the region with the
suhtle fragrance of your good¬
ness.”
The peach industry continues
to grow in the vicinity of Round
(Jak. Many who have bearing
orchards have addl'd to them and
several have joined the band nnd
set out now orchards, There are
now about six hundred and fifty
•lores in peach trees around t he
town. Off in a ^southeasterly di¬
rection there is an unbroken area
of peach trees for two miles. Six
hundred and fifty acres of peach
>>rchurds means about one hund¬
red thousand trees. One crate to
the tree is considered almost a fail¬
ure in a crop. Put that crop at
fifty cents p< r crate and we have
fifty thousand dollars. Suppose
three crates per tree should be
produced, which at fifty cents per
crate would amount to one hund¬
red and fifty thousand dollars.
Then put three crates per tree as
above and say one dollar per crate
and see what we have; the nice
sum of three Hundred thousand
dollars. Peach trees on paper
make money right along. If they
will work out this way by actual
growth and in the markets, let’s
all hands plant peach trees.

and lodging fora limited number.

HOW TO PREVENT CROUP.
It will be good news to the
mothers of small chiklrei to
iearu that croup cun be prevent¬
ed. The first sign of croup is
hoarseness. A day or two before
the attack the child becomes
hoarse. This is soon followed by
a peculur rough cough. Give
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
freely as soon as Die child be¬
comes hoarse, or even after the
rough cough appears, and it will
dispel all symptoms of cough. In
this way all danger and anxiety
may be avoided. This remedy is
used by many thousands of mot h¬
ers and has never know n to fail.
It is, in fact, the only remedy
to be depended upon and Dal
1 ja pleasant and safe to take,
To the Voters of Jones
Comity.
I will hereby notify von through
* I*® paper Hint I will he in the
' r '*c« for the office which I now
! hold. I wish lo say that lam
| more thankful than ever I will be
able to express for your past sup-
port. The office has been a great
help to me through niv losses and
j afflictions. But if there bo any
in as needy ebeunistnnees ns'
j myself and who wants (no office
imuI is not willing for me to have
it another term and will conn out
for the office I w ill get out of the
race and give him my support,
As for I he old brother soldiers
who are opposing me, I will say
that I have as much respect for
them ns anyone. But according
to (he tax books they ore all in
' g'*od circumstances and are not
j have >" need small of the families office. ami Two get of 1 pen- hem
j sions, and the other has fine
one a
i°t ot boys. \\ Idle it is true they
passed through four years of hard
Sniggle they were yet blessed to
, leturu home to their families and
| build up in this world's goods nnd
their children. My father
wus left near Griffin thirty-nine
years ago and I had to begin to
work for n support for the dead
soldier’s widow and orphan chil¬
dren at ten cents n day, while
those who returned to their fami-
lies were sending their children to
school. I did not have the chance
to go to school, yet some one had
that to tell in my other race, and
I don’t think it <1 id him any good,
either, especially thoone who said
I could net sign my nnmo.
So, fellow citizens, 1 will lea\e
it witl) you. I am not a ling and
do not want the office a lifetime.

Record.
The Reason
We sold more vehicles last yonr
than dealers that have been.jp.th a
-■
business for the last quarter ■ of a
century speaks volumes.
People are becoming moro ex- 1
acting every day. The first thing
they seek now b quality. Thry
next consider the price, That is
sensible.
That explains Hie whole mat-
ter. Quality und prise is our
hobby, Wo do dot consider
cheap vehicles at all. We decide
on the best wagons and buggies
and then buy them so we cau
undersell our competitors,
We get all the discounts oft’by
paying spot cash.
We can prove all wo say to be
. true. Cull and let us do it.
