lion. Edgar G. Simmons (load!
This sail anti startling intelligence
spread rapidly Wednesday shortly after
12 o’clock, and was discredited until con
firmatory information was received.
Only on Wednesday afternoon lie wnaj
mingling with his friends on our streets
in apparently good health and buoyant
spirits, giving not the faintest promonf
lion of his approaching end.
Wednesday afternoon on ills return to
his home lie complained of feeling
slightly unwell and retired early.
During the night once or twice lie de<
elared that, lie waR feeling very badly
but lie regarded it as only a temporary
indisposition and not justifying medical
aid.
Thursday shortly ptsst 12 o'clock
while lying in Ids lied, lie was asked by
his wi'e if he intended going down to
dinner, but said that lie would remain
in bed, requesting that his dinner be sent
him.
His wife had scarcely entered the din.
ing room when the family were alarmed
by sounds of a struggle coming from
overhead, and they rushed up-stairs to
Hud Mr Simmons in a comatose condi
tion. and in a few moments after their
arrival he breathed his last, quietly and
apparently painlessly.
Ife had been occupied with tiie En-
ijuirer-Sun a few moments prior to his
death, and the paper lay by his sido
when tiie family entered the room
Hia deatli is traceable to a stroke of
apoplexy and was as sudden ns it was
painless
Hon. Edgar G. Simmons was born in
Crawford County, Ga., May 18 1852. Ills
father James M. Simmons was born in
the samo county, and there spent the
greater portion of his life and followed
farming and merchandise, but in 1881
moved to Sumter county where lie died.
His wife, Frances E. (Hollis) Simmons,
was born in Monroe County, Ga. Site
bore him six children, viz: Edgar G.,
Robert L., Minnie II., Alice, Wnlter C ,
and Arthur II,.
Edgar G. Simmons, the eldest of these,
was brought up in Crawford county, and
was educated at the State University at
Athens, Ga., from which lie graduated
in 1871 wttli high honors. Ho then
taught school and studied law nt the
samo time, and in 1872 he was admitted
to tbo bar at Tliomaston, Ga., where he
practiced Ills profession until 1875, when
ho moved to Americus, where lie hasen-
joyed a lucrative practice ever since and
was regarded asoneof the county’s most
able practitioners.
In 1880 lie was elected on the demo
cratic ticket from Sumter county to the
legislature, in which body lie was quite
prominet snd made a reputation as an
eloquent speaker.
He was ro-elcotod in 1888, and served
his constituency with signal distinction.
October 15, 1875, he was married to
Miss Lucy Hollis, daughter of John F.
Hollis, of Marion county, Ga. To tills
union have been born live children, viz.
Howell it., Floyd, Susanna, Edgar and
Francis.
His life lias been an interesting and
eventful one, in good measure interwo
ven witli the history of this city during
tiie years lie has resided here.
He was eminently a criminal lawyer,
possessing in an illustrious measure
every qualillcntion or essential that con
tributes to win success in this sphere of
legal activity.
His stylo of oratorical ability was hap
pily and admirably adapted to the re
quirements of a criminal court, and hia
most signal legal achievements have been
won In thia department of justice. Be
fore a jury of twelve of bit peer* In the
eyes of the law, he appeared at hia beat,
developing powera that were at once
brilliant and Incomparable.
An Imperial master over the resources
of expression, bia fluency and venatility
were equally notable, and served him In
good stead on many an occasion when
impromptu efforts were in order.
In legislative halls hit triumphs are
retarded In the archives of the state,
and are perfect models of forensie abil
ity. Hla tllf with Dr. Felton U still
freab In the memory of his contempora
ries, and It was on that occasion that ho
exhibited a faoulty for the use of 4ar-
oaem and Irony that wrested encomiums
from even hi* most bitter and cynical
enemies
Ho launched forth Into sustained
flights of eloquence that realised the
boldest efforts of a Toombs.
In bla personal relations Mr. Simmons
magnetic and generous he readily
formed friendships, enduring and con
stant.
His home life was jieculiarly happy; a
fond father and devoted husband, ho
was at Ills best when he gathered con
genial spirits around Ids hearth stone
and lavished upon them the generous
offices of hospitality, unstinted and spon
taneoua.
Mr. .Simmons was a master mason,
and always worked with zeal and enthu
siasm for tills organization, who mado
him tiie custodian of many Important
trusts and honors, all of which
worn worthily.
His associates in law have been Judge
Allen Fort, Mr. Walter Simmons (de
ceased.) and Col. \V. II. Kimbrough,
both of his surviving partners being men
of prominenco and ability.
Mr. Simmons was a communicant of
Hie Baptist church and always professed
tiie most exalted opinion of religion and
Its divine origin, and lind the most un
faltering faith in tiie evangelical scheme
of redemption. *
In the death of Mr. Siminous, the
state has lost one of its most brilliant
sons; society one of its brightest orna
ments; a home is robbed of an affection
ate father and devoted liitsbnud; n large
and ever-increasing (circle of friends a
loyal and open-hearted companion and
sympathizer, and the bar one of its ablest
and most vigorous exponents.
“Life’s fitful fever over, lie rest well,”
passing away, iu the prime of ills years,
from a world of trouble, trial and disap
poiutment into the great spiritual be-
yond, where he goes to join tho thou
sands who have gone before and the
thousands who will come after him.
To the grief-stricken family and rela
tives TiikTisiks-Reixiiiiikii tenders the
kindliest sympathies, believing that He
who notes the fall of a sparrow will ap
ply balm to tiieir bruised and aching
liearLs.

ARE TOLERABLY GOOD,
But who wants a tolerably good egg ?
And there’*, a heap of trouble about a tol
erably good stove
This season has proven that there is one
line of stoves at least that is good (without
the tolerable) and they are sold at the Ar
tesian Corner.
The Artesian Corner Stoves are fitted
up with forty pieces of ware, where other
dealers only give twenty-six. As usual, you
get more and pay less at the Artesian Cor
ner.
They don’t like it—the “tolerably good”
stove dealers—but not only have we cut
prices—but they are going to stay cut—so
