THE BARNESVILCaf NEWS-GAZETTE, THURSDAY, MARL
B. C. MILNER DIES.
PASSED PEACEFULLY AWAY AT
HIS HOME NEAR HERE TUESDAY
--FUNERAL EXERCISES OC
CURRED HERE YESTERDAY
Tuesday morning about five
o’clock, at his home near the city,
the pure, gentle spirit of B. C.
Milner, one of the oldest and most
beloved citizens of this section of
the state, took its flight from its
earthly tabernacle for the home
above, eternal in the heavens.
.Somehow it seems well that dur
ing. the night between the two
loveliest days we have had this
year —all nature was changing for
anew season, that the Death Bngel
I should have come and with his
gentlest touch stopped the beating
of his kind heart. lie had been
sick for about two weeks, much of
the time in a serious condition,
but all hoped and many believed
that he would recover from the at
tack. Certainly he was much bet
ter and brighter than during the
early part of last week. Sunday
he was not so well but Monday
and Monday night he was better.
During the night he rested
and slept well, but about four
o’clock Tuesday morning he com
plained of being uncomfortable.
His position was changed several
times, and he sat up in a chair for
a few minutes. At about five
o’clock he told those about him
that the time of his departure had
come and almost in a twinkling of
an eye, his spirit had peacefully
passed into the Great Beyond and
liis body was lifeless.
I find it hard to produce just
j the language 1 want to use when
1 come to write of his life and
[death. His was a life of travel,
lof vigorous, unceasing labor, a
number of years spent in railroad
building, mining and saw milling,
avocations among the most exact
ing and trying in which men can
engage, and yet his life —his words
us well as his deeds—was such, in
the home, in the forest, in the
mine, that he was spoken of every
where by everybody as a man wl\o
was as gentle its a woman. In
my opinion no more beautiful
tribute can be paid him than this,
for none but the truest gentleman
and purest Christian could live
such a life and win such praise
from the people with whom he
was associated day by day.
Probably no man ever lived who
was more devoted to his family
than Mr. Milner. His beloved
companion was ever the idol of
his heart and his children tHi
pride of his life. To serve them
was his chief concern and joy,
and in his last hours the thing
that seemed to cheer and help him
most was that his children had
come from far and near to be with
him and to show him that they
loved him. He said that he was
ready to go if his Lord wanted
him to go, but that he hated to
leave his loved ones behind.
The secret of his beautiful life
is doubtless given in the words of
one of his neighbors, in a con
versation with me this week, who
spoke substantially as follows:
“You cannot say too much for
Mr. Milner, for he was one of the
best men I ever knew in my life.
1 have lived by him and know his
daily walk and conversation. 1
don’t believe that he would have
done anybody in the world any
harm, and when he was not at
work on his farm or about his
home, he was trying to help his
children and neighbors or reading
his Bible.” And thus words of
praise could be multiplied indefi
nitely. Surely his was a life worthy
of all praise and imitation.
Mr. Benjamin Charles Milner
was born in Bartlesville, Ga., in
what is now known as the Varner
house, June 10, 1882. At that time
his father owned a large tract of
land here, selling it later to
Gideon Barnes, after whom
Barnesville was named. He was
reared in Pike county, spending
most of his youth at Milner where
his father had interests at that
time. At the age of 18 he went
to California where he spent two
years. His family now has several
pieces of jewelry made of gold
which he dug from mines in Cali
fornia. In May 1852 he returned
to his home at Milner, and in the
latter part of that year he joined
his •father in railroad work in Ala
bama. building the road between
West Point, Ga., and Opelika,
Ala. In 1858 he returned to Pike
county and on December 27th,
married Miss Martha Brown,
daughter of Stephen J. Brown. It
is interesting to note that Mr.
Milner died in the very room in
which Mrs. Milner was born, and
they were married in the room
just across the hall. Following
his marriage he conducted a busi
ness in Milner until 185(1 when he
again took up railroad work, going
|to Florida to build the road be-
Asthma
“One of my daughters bad a
terrible case of asthma. We tried
almost everything, but without re
lief. We then tried Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral, and three and one-half
bottles cured her.”—Emma Jane
Erusminger, Langsville. O.
Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral
certainly curesmany cases
of asthma.
And it cures bronchitis,
hoarseness, weak lungs,
whooping-cough, croup,
winter coughs, night
coughs, and hard colds.
Three sizes: 25c., 50c., sl. All drnggists.
Consult your doctor. If he says take it.
then do as he says. If he tells you not
to take It. then don’t take It. He knows.
Leave it with him. We are willing.
J. C. AYER CO.. Lowell, Mass.
tween Flomaton, Ala. and Pensa
cola, Fla., now a part of Louis
ville and Nashville road. He fol
lowed railroad work until 1875
when he engaged in coal mining
in Jefferson county Ala., one of
the first mines opened in the now
famous Birmingham district.
In 1888 he engaged in sawmill
ing at McDavid, Florida. After
■four years there his health failed
and he returned to his old home
in Pike county, w here has lived a
a quiet life for the last 10 years.
Mr. Milner joined Sardis Bap
tist church at Barnesville in 1852,
at the age of 19, just after return
ing from California, where he has
ever since been an active and con
sistent member. He ivas always
interested in the worship of his
Master and was liberal in the sup
port of his church and the cause
of Christ. In his life he has made
great quantities of money but
whenever he saw an opportunity
for doing good by bestowing it
upon others, he gave it cheerfully
and liberally.
The funeral services were held
yesterday at 11 o’clock at the
Baptist church, conducted by the
pastor, Rev. C. W. Durden and
Dr. ,J. M. Brittain, an intimate
friend of the family. Dr. Brit
tain preached the sermon from
the text, “Blessed are the dead
who die in the Lord.” The ser
mon was a splendid one and was
listened to with marked attention.
He spoke feelingly and tenderly of
his dead friend and his family
and spoke many comforting w ords
which will cheer them in their
sorrow. After these exercises,
the bpdy was laid away in the
Zebulon street cemetery, where it
will await the resurrection. To
all of the family, relatives and
friends the warmest sympathy is
extended by the entire citizenship
of the community. B. H.H.
When a horse picks up a nail in
his foot what does the driver do?
Does he whip the limping, lagging
animal and force him along?
Not unless he wants to ruin the
horse. At the first sight of lame
ness he jumps down, examines the
foot and carefully remove the
cause of the lameness. What is
called “weak stomach” is like the
lameness of the horse, only to be
removing the cause of the trouble.
If you stimulate the stomach with
“whiskey medicines” you keep it
going but every day the condition
is growing worse. A few doses
sometimes of Dr. Pierce Golden
Medical Discovery will put the
disordered stomach and its allied
organs of digestion and nutrition
in perfect condition. Ninety
eight times in every hundred
“Golden Medical Discovery” will
cure the worst ailments originat
ing in diseases of the stomach. It
always helps. It alway's cures.
To cure constipation use Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets Ther’re
sure.

A PRINTER GREATLY SURPRISED
“I never was so much surprised in
my life, as I was with the results of
using Chamberlain’s Pain Balm,” says
Henry T. Crook, pressman of the Ashe
ville (N. C.) Gazette. *‘l contracted a
severe case of rheumatism early last
winter by getting my feet wet. 1 tried
several things for it without benefit.
One day while looking over the Gazette
1 noticed that Pain Balm was positively
guaranteed to cure rheumatism, so
bought a bottle of it and before using
two thirds of it my rheumatism had
taken its flight and I have not had a
rheumatic pain since.” For sale by
