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.

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.
