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.

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.

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 Jmo.
