An Aged Citizen Gone, Mr Mark Perry dies Suddenly at His Home in the country. Mr Mark A Perry, one of Schley's oldest and most highly esteemed citi • zeus, died very suddenly Monday morn ing from a stroke of appoplexy; at his home four miles from Ellaville. He ap peared in his usual health up to noon, ate dinner with his family and walked out on the varandah, when he suddenly fell and spoke only a few words before his eyes were closed in death. Mr Perry wes 81 years of age. and had lived in this section for over fifty years. He represented the county in the Legisla ture when Milledgeville was the capital. He was a man of strict integrity, and was a faithful worker in every good cause. He was the oldest member of Andrew chapel church, and his Christian influence was a benediction to that com munity. Mr Perry was twice married and leaves a widow, five sous and two daughters. The funeral service conduct ed by Rev R F Williamson at the Meth odist church Tuesday afternoon was largely attended by friends of the de ceased from every part of the county. The burial took place with solemn and impressive masonic honors. Many beau tiful floral offering were placed upon the casket. This good man honored God. and lived for the good of humani ty; and the sudden summons found him ready to exchange the cares and perplex ities of life for a "house not made with hands." May the Everlasting arms be about those who are left to bear the cross, while he wears a crown, and may they have glad reunion •'‘Beyond the river where the surges cease to roll*’. ‘•Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace.” Improvements at The Academy. The enrollment in the school now reaches over a hundred, and is constant ly increasing.

This furnishes a well ventilated and comfortable apait ment for the little folks. The idea nas gotten out that the academy is filled to its utmost capacity; but the trustees wish it understood that room will oe made for all who wish to take advan tage of the splendid opportunities offer ed by the Ellaville High school.
