ALLISON & AYCOCK, Americus, G-a.
Mira Annl, Gyle,
Mrs. Gylee received a telegram, on
Tuesday, that her daughter wa* very ill
in Gainesville, Ga.. with typhoid fever,
and even then her life was almost
despaired of.
The grief-stricken mother left at once
for Gainesville, and arrived there only in
time to close the dying eyes of her be
loved and idolizedjchild.
Mr. Pave Hill.Juncle of Miaa Gylea. re
ceived the aad news of the young lady's
death. Yesterday at 1 o’clock she breath
ed her young andJlhopeful life away,
when there aeemed so much for her to
live for.
The comfort of a widowed and lonely
mother, the fond sister of a trusting
brother, the light and sunshine of
a happy home—all of this she was; and
it would now seem useless to gild their
grief with empty words. Miss Gyles
had spent her life |in Americus; her
friends were here; enemies she had none.
To know her was to love her. She was
a teacher in the grammar school, and
highly thought of by the school board,
associate teaohers, and her pupils. She
was a young lady of culture, and her
mind was well stored with practical and
useful knowledge.
The loving daughter, a'slncere friend,
who with tender faithfulness discharged
the duties of life, has reached her
journey 1 * end,
Sleep on, sleep on, sweet mortal,
Thy waking eyes shall see
Beyond life’s closing portal—
Heaven’s blest eternity.

Locel Short Stops.
Hacks did a rushing business yester
day. The mud and slush was too much
for most pedestrians.
Work on the gas works is being
rapidly pushed forward. Americus will
gas sure enough when this magnificent
plant is completed.
Many moves will be made by onr mer
chants September 1. The new stores In
the hotel block are nearing completion,
and promise to be ready for occupancy
by that time.
The Hamil building on Cotton avenue
is assuming proportions, and when fin
ished will be one of the most conven
iently arranged stores on that business
thoroughfare.
The merchants are opening up their
fall stock. Tbey have skimmed the
cream of ' the markets, and the show
windows will fairly dazzle when the
weather clears up.
Yesterday whs one of those horrid
days that you never read about in the
spelling book. The rain oaine down In
torrents, and at night the weather took
on the temperature of fall.
The compresses have raised steam and
will from now on do a squeezing, rush
ing business, A prominent ootton man,
who rarely misses hls mark, says
“Americus will press 80,000 bales this
season."
A prominent Americus grocer says
apples will be very cheap in the market
this winter; an immense crop will be
harvested north aod west, and prices
will not be more than half what they
were last season.
Now that the bad weather ie on, and
more may be expected before the eternal
sunshine of another spring smiles upon
us, cannot someone start a petition for
an Improvement In our street crossings?
Here is missionary work for those in
authority.

OBITUARY.
LITTLE ETHEL EARL BARNETT.
The golden tint* of the summer sunset had
given place to the purpling shades of dusky
night; the flower* lay sleeping; the trills of
forest bird* were hushed,—yet over a happy
home the merciless angel of Death brooded,
like the messenger of evil, f-irjhe had borne
away from that home its brightest snnbeara,
who, in her short, fair life had nestled solov-
ingly into those bleeding hearts, A dainty
form, still and cold, lay unclRsped by moth
er’s loving arms. Eyes that beamed with
Heaven's own light, drooped beneath white
lids that no hnman | voice of love could ever
raise again. Two soft, dimpled hands, loose'
ly holding white buds, lay quietly folded In
coffined rest; sweet baby lips, upon which lay
no taint of sin, were now unresponsive to
kiss or call of love. A little white coffin, the
casket which held the pearl which the lov
ing Savior had need of to complete the Jew
els In Hls crown. The light tn the home had
become darkened, loving hearts were bowed
with grief.
To those fond parents, we would say. look
not through your blinding tears upon tr.e
tiny mound of earth for your little one, but,
through the clear eyes of Faith, up to the
“gteat, while throne," where she shines with
a pure, white light, to lead yon through this
darksome vale, up to that beauteous realm
where no shadow ever falls.
Bye-bye, Baby Ethel, ’till we meet thee
again ’mid Eden's bloom and beauties.
“Grlev e not for your little one.
Whom you to car th have given;
God saw she was fair, and took her home
To All a bright place In Heaven.
‘‘Grieve r ot for your little one;
Think not of her under the sod;
She’ll meet >ou at the gate of Heaven,
In the beautiful City of God.’’
