o’clock. They then dispersed to
the various places of amusement
and to seethe sights.
The baths were the main attrac
tions of the day and were greatly
enjoyed by all. Another feature
of the occasion especially worthy
of mention was the delightful
repast spread at noon. It was a
good one and soon despatch**! by
the fine appetites which a thing of
this kind gives.
On the return trip the party was

were:

The immediate cause of his death
was paralysis, although he had
been in declining health for sev

three years Mr. Burr has been
hardly able to get around town

terfered greatly with his pleasure,
making it very very hard to con
verse with his friends and loved
ones.
Mr. Burr was born in Macon,
Ga,. July 28, 1842 and he lived a
very useful life. He devoted the
first portion of his life to news

usually does so much for the pub

and without appreciation. He
edited the Macon Journal and
Messenger, Griffin Sun, Fort Val
ley Mirror, Thomasville Times
and Barnesville Home Journal.
He was well known as one of the
influential editors of the state.
He was a consistent member of
the Methodist church and was a
Knight Tertffttar. The Knight
Templars conducted the funeral
services in Fort Valley Sunday
afternoon at 1 o’clock, where the
remains were carried for burial.
Mr. Burr leaves two children,
Mr. S. B. Burr, Jr., and Miss
Clifford Burr, to whom the warm
est symyatliv of the people is ex
tended. Mr. Burr had a large
circle of friends and relatives
throughout the state who mourn
his death.

Mr. Lowden expects two more cars
containing the same amount of
cans.
Mr. Lowden is an excellent busi
ness man and we are glad to state
that he has made a success of the
canning business in our city.
