PASSED AWAY AT THE HOME OF HIS
SON, MR. J. W. GARDNER, WEDNES
DAY MORNING AT 5:30.
Mr. .John Brantly Gardner, one
of this city’s oldest and most
highly respected residents, died
suddenly Tuesday morning at
5:80 o’clock at the home of Mr.

church at 9:B0 o’clock conducted
by Rev. J. N. Snow and his body
will then be interred intheGreen
wood street cemetery.
Although it was known that
Mr. Gardner had been in failing
health for some time yet the
news of his death came as a dis
tinct shock to the people of Bar
nesville among whom he was
loved and respected. He left his
work at the store of Messrs .J. W.
Stafford & Sons several clays ago
to take a short vacation. He
went home and shortly thereafter
was confined to his room and had
been growing weaker until his
death occurred. There was no
one in the room at the time of
his death, his son having gone
out for a few minutes and when
he returned he found that his
father had peacefully passed
away.
Mr. Gardner was a veteran of
the civil war through which he
served bravely and with distinc
tion. He was a c insistent mem
ber of the Methodist church and
always rook a great interest in
the religious affairs. The people of
this city are in great sorrow over
the death of their fellow citizen
and extend their profound sympa
thy to the bereaved son, Mr. J.
Will Gardner, and other relatives.
WERE UNITED
IN MARRIAGE.
MISS ROBERTA MITCHELL WEDS MR.
JOHN MIDDLEBROOKS WEDNES
DAY AFTERNOON. WAS
BRILLIANT OCCASION.
One of the prettiest home wed
dings which it lias been the pleas
ure of the peopl i of Barnesvilie
to witness in many a day occurred
Wednesuay afternoon at the love
ly suburban home of Mr. and
Mrs. Robert Mitchell, when Miss
Roberta Mitchell, one of the fair
est of the city’s daughters, was
married to Mr. John T. Middle
brooks, the well known and popu
lar young business man.
The parlors were tastily decorat
ed in green and white with gar
lands of asparagus and smilax,
while fragrant carnations height
ened the beauty of the scene.
The hall and sitting room showed
up to advantage with their deco
rations of pink with bowls of
sweet peas in charming profusion.
Promptly at 5 o’clock, while the
familiar strains of Mendelsshons
march, skillfully rendered by Miss
Maynita Arnold, fell upon the
ear, the bridal procession came
from the stairway leading from
the second story, making its way
into the parlor. Miss Lillian
Mitchell and Miss Lueile Mitch
ell, sisters of the bride, in white
mull dresses trimmed with thread
lace and carrying pink carnations,
came first, followed by the groom
and his best man, Mr. D. L. An
derson. Immediately following
came the maid of honor, Miss
| Mamie Mitchell, carrying white
carnations, and dressed in white
chiffon, with Duchess lace trim
mings, on whose arm leaned the
happy bride handsomely attired
in a blue Sicilian going-away
gown with silk mull waist and a
very becoming hat of blue and
ohampaigne braid, carrying a
bunch of white bride’s roses.
There surrounded by true friends
and loved ones, under the large
rose covered bell, with a back
ground of palms and ferns, in a
most felicitous manner, Rev. C.
W. Durden performed the cere
mony which forever binds in the
holy state of wedlock the happy
young couple.
At the conclusion of the cere
mony Mr. and Mrs. Middlebrooks
retiied to the sitting room, where
they received the congratulations
of their friends, and where they
likewise had abundant other evi
dence of the esteem in which they
are held in the large number of
handsome presents on display
there.
The S:JO afternoon train for
Atlanta bore them northward on
their way to the St. Louis Impo
sition where they will remain
about ten days.
