Good Woman Dies.
After an illness of some twelve
months, Mrs. J. L. Beckham died
at the home of her husband near
Liberty Hill la9t Friday. She had
been in feeble health for some
time, but three weeks ago she be
came much worse. Everything
possible was done to prolong her
life but all was in vain.
Mrs. Beckham was forty-four
years old and was a good woman,
greatly loved by all who knew
her. She was a consistent mem
ber of Mid wav Baptist church.
The funeral occurred Saturday
and was conducted by Rev. J. C.
Baird. Sympathy is extended to
her loved ones in this hour of
their great sorrow.
Gone to New York.
Mrs. W W. Arnold, Miss May
nita Arnold left Sunday night for
New York city, via Savannah,
where they will remain sometime.
It is possible that New York may
be their future home, but their
friends here hope that it may not
be necessary for them to stay
there. It is known to some that
Mrs. Cruger, a wealthy aunt, re
cently gave to Miss Maynita Ar
nold a snug little fortune iu valu
able Nev York city property and
this may require the removal of
the family there.
They have hosts of friends who
hope that they will continue to
live in Barnesville.
Improvements Should be Pushed
Mr. J. C. Collier, chairman of
the finance committee of the city
council, who consummated the
sale of the SIO,OOO improvement
bonds, says that the bonds were
placed at a lower rate of interest
than the bonds of such cities as
Birmingham, Memphis and others
of like population are being offer
ed for, and in view of the fact
that so many bonds of larger is
sues are on sale at the present
time throughout the countrv, the
sale of the Barnesville bonds is
very satisfactory. The cash for
the bonds has already been turned
into the city treasury and the
work for which the bonds were
voted will begin and be pushed to
completion.
The work has already been de
layed and the city officials should
see to it that it is now pushed
vigorously.
The most glorious task is made
up of insignificant trifles.

MILL STARTS.
{Wllili EMPLOY SEVENTY-FIVE
OPERATIVKS-Sao.OOO CAPITAL
FI LLY PAID IN.
The Gem Knitting Mill is now
in operation, with the prospect
for a fine business and a success
ful career. It will soon be run
ning on full time and will then
employ seventy-five operatives
which will readily show wluit its
operation will be worth to this
city and community.
It will be remembered that a
charter was obtained for this
corporation some months,ago and
plans made for starting the mill
A few days ago the engine was fired
up and the machinery put in
motion, and it will be only a short
time now until everything will lie
moving smoothly. The goods
manufactured are ladies under
wear and hosiery and it is thought
that there will be no trouble to
find a ready market for the pro
duct of the mill.
The capital stock of -itHO.OOO is
fully paid up and the plant starts
business under the most favorable
auspices.
The following are the officers:
President, Mr. J. L. Kennedy;

Praised His Work.
The Augusta Chronicle in com
menting on the all'airs of the en
campment held in that city last
week had this to say of the work
of Col. J. Q. Nash, who took part
in that event:
“Lieut. Col. J. Quincy Nash,
assistant inspector general of the
state of Georgia, who was the per
manent field officer of the day at
Camp Terrell, is receiving congrat
ulations on every hand for the ef
ficient manner ip which he is per
forming the duty that has been
assigned to him. His work con
sisted entirely of fault finding
but every man in the camp was
his friend. On his shoulders rests
the responsibility for the order
of the brigade as well as the sani
tary condition and appearance of
the grounds. A trip to Camp
Terrell is sufficient to convince
any one of his ability in this line.
The ideas that Col. Nash carried
into effect were based on many
years experience. He is one of
the oldest and best known officers
in the state service.”
God’s work must be done in
God’s way.
