OBITUARY.
Departed this life near Meansville,
Ga., Oct. 2nd, 1898, Mrs. Lucintia
Jackson, wife of James K. Jackson,
Daughter of William and Martha
Waller, horn A aril 7 th, 1841 ; was
married to James R. Jackson Dec.
sth, 1867. Karly in Jife she found
the pearl of great price, made a pub
lic profession and joined the Mis
sionary Baptist church at Shiloh,
Upson county, Georgia, living a con
sistent Christian life worthy of emtiL
tion. Her husband has indeed lost
a good, faithful wife, her children a
devoted, pious mother, her brothers
and sisters an affectionate sister.
May her prayers be as bread cast
upon the water to be gathered many
■days hence; may her husband and
children follow the example she set
before them and they will one day
meet her where all is peace and love.
Much might be written of this
sweet spirited Christian woman; she
has gone but it is a sweet thought
that she is not dead but .leepeth to
await the resurrection morn when
those that are laithful will be per
mitted to see her sweet face again.
Her many deeds of gentleness and
kindness will live long years to come.
W ords are inadequate to do her jus
lice; she was truly a good woman;
blessed with an unselfish and self
sacrificing spirit, to her it was a
pleasure to labor for the comfort and
happiness of others. She lingered
on a bed of affliction for many
months before she left us, but was
never heard to murmur or complain
but bore her afflictions with Christian
.fortitude.
-She called her husband and < hil
dren one by one to lie; bedside and
gave each an affectionate talk ad
monishing them to live right and n eet
her in heaven; she alsog.twdirections, I
concerning her burial as calmly a iff
she were going on a visit for a lew:
days. She asked them to sing “How!
Firm a Foundation Ye Saints ot the j
Lord,” and said it was tin- sweetest 1
of all songs to her. Iter ff -e seemed
almost angelic as she shouted aloud
praises to the God whom she loved
and served so faithfully.
Her trials on earth are ended and
she has gone to reap eternal lest.
The hopes of husband and children
are crushed and brothers, sisters m l
many relatives and friends are made
sad. I,et us mourn not, but ] olit
by her Godly examples.

A Bright Young Man.
I In April last Mr. Jas. W. Cole, of
: Sharpsburg, stood the civil service ex
amination for a place in the railway
mail service. He made a fine av
erage on the preliminary examination,
and was certified by the commission
for appointment as a substitute,
i Wednesday he went to Atlanta and
stood the second of the “case” exam
inations required by the regulations,
making the remarkable average of
99.70. In a total distribution of 668
pieces, he made only two errors.
He will pass a third examination
about the 20th inst. and expects then
!to be assigned to duty. Mr. Cole is
one of Coweta's brightest and most
I promising young men, and those who
know him will cheerfully attest to his
ability and worth.—Herald and Ad
vertiser (Newnan.)
Mr. Cole is well known in Barnes
ville, having resided here for some
j time. His many friends here rejoice
j at his success.
Reception To The Soldiers.
It has been suggested that Barnes
| ville tender a reception to Capt. John
|F. Howard and the men who went
j with him into the army when they re
turn to their homes after they are
| mustered out. It is no small matter
Ito enlist for war, and notwithstand
ing our boys did not have any fight
-1 ing to do, it was not their fault.
| They were ready to do service foi
I tiie country. Then Barnesville was
j honored with a captaincy and some
of the citizens think a reception
I would be a timely thing. It could
easily be gotten up, with no very
great expense.
The Chief Burges of Milesburg, l’a.,
says DeWitt's Little Karly Risers are the
best pills lie ever used in liis family (lur
ing forty years of house keeping. They
j cure constipation, sick headache, and
I stomach and liver troubles. Small in
; size but great in results.
Dk. W. A. Wright.
Mayor Davis Successful.
In the white primary in Griffin
Tuesday for Mayor and Aldermen,
Mr. W. D. Davis was renominated
for mayor. He has held the office
j for one term and has made a good
j official. He has numerous friends in
Barnesville who rejoice over his suc
cess.
150 lows.
Mr. W. B. Veal is dealing in cows
on a large scale. He now has on
hand 150 cows, which he will ship to
t the different markets. He frequently
! ships a carload of cattle to Atlanta,
Cincinnati and other markets. Mr.
! Veal runs a market here and affords a
good sale for cattle for this section
j of the state.
- -
His First Year.
Mr. John T. Middlebrooks has
; been in business just one year and
1 his friends will be glad to know that
|he has succeeded well. He is a do
serving young man, does business on
| a square and honest basis and is am
! bitious to build up a prosperous bus
! iness. He keeps on hand an ex
I cellent stock of groceries and invites
j the people to come to see him and to
1 trade with him.
In the Storm.
Mr. R. A. Franklin, who recently
went to Baltimore to study dentistry,
! went by steamship front Savannah
and was in the storm. His ship was
!in great danger and-his captain said
it was the worst storm which he had
j experienced in twenty years. On
j Sunday only ten miles was made.
: Mr. Franklin had a very interesting
time and his letters home telling
! about it have been read with great
interest.
BOME persons say
It is natural .for
them to lose flesh
during summer.
But losing flesh is losing
ground. Can you afford
to approach another win
ter in this weakened con
dition?
Coughs and colds,weak
throats and lungs, come
quickest to those who are
thin in flesh, to those eas
ily chilled, to those who
have poor circulation and
feeble digestion.
Scott's
Emulsion
of cod liver oil with hypo
phosphites does just as
much good in summer as
in winter. It makes flesh
in August as well as April.
You certainly need as
strong nerves in July as in
January. And your weak
throat and lungs should
be healed and strength
ened without delay.

How Snake Poison Kills,
The action of poisons upon tho system
is and always has been one of the most
interesting of subjects. Just how and
why it kills has been determined through
a series of experiments made by scien
tists. The following description is un
questionably the best and most lucid of
any that has been given to tho public:
“The venom may be roughly separated
into two parts —one acting upon the
blood, and tho other upon the nerves.
When injected, it immediately begins
to creato terrible destruction in the
blood vessels, the walls of tho veins are
eaten away and an- internal hemorrhage
takes place. While this is going on a
portion of the venom is attacking the
nerves. Particularly susceptible to its
ravages is the ‘vasomotor’ system, a
nerve center which controls the muscles
of respiration. Paralysis takes place in
these organs, and tho victim generally
dies from an inability to breathe. ”
New York Ledger.
Bifimarck’g Ancestors.
It is stated that tho Bismarcks first
made their appearance in Brandenburg
as cloth merchants. In 1430 or there
about it is believed that one Claus Bis
marck advanced a sum of money to the
Margrave Ludwig, which was secured
upon the customs of his native town.
The citizens, however, rebelling against
this arrangement, the margrave assign
ed to Claus Bismarck the tief of Burg
stall, and it was in this manner that the
nobility of the family began. In the
middle of the sixteenth century the Bis
marcks came under the sway of the
Hohenzollerns, to whom they have ever
remained faithful vassals.—London
Globe.
A Fancy For Old Hats.
The inhabitants of the Nicobar is
lands, a group in the Indian ocean, have
an extraordinary fancy toroid hats, and
a regular trade in such cast off headgear
is carried on between Calcutta and Nic
obar, the much desired headpieces being
paid for in cocoanuts. A tall chimney
pot is the favorite among the Nicotia
rians, and the acme of fashion is consid
ered to be a high white hat with a black
hatband. This is worth from 50 to (iO
cocoanuts, and is worn by tho Nicobar
lan dandy when he goes out fishing,
tho rest of his attire consisting solely of
a waistcoat.

• The Antiquity of Gl*.
Glass has been employed, we know,
both for decorative and domestic pur
poses since the dawn of civilization.
The earliest remains date from Egypt
3064 B. C. and are preserved in tho
British museum. It is an amulet, in the
form of a lion’s head, of opaque blue
color, with hieroglyphics that determine
its date. On the rock cut tombs of the
necropolis of Memphis glass blowers
were depicted as early as 3900 B. G.
Stories are told by Pliny, Josephus and
other v.riters to account for its discov
ery, but these are very doubtful, so that
we have only to rely upon facts attested
by actual remains.
The discovery was doubtless fortui
tous. Such lucky duds are often the
work of chance. When it occurred, we
cannot determine; but, so far as we
know, Egypt, as she was tho germ of
all civilization, was also the mother of
this art, which she applied to a multi
tude of purposes, strangely excepting
that which we deem most necessary—
namely, to admit light into buildings.
The dwellers by the Nile handed
down the art to the Phoenicians, who
in like manner bequeathed it to the As
syrians. Then it was passed along to
the Persians and the Greeks, then to
the Romans and the Byzantines, who
in turn communicated it to the Vene
tians. The monks of the middle ages
appropriated it to beautify their Gothic
temples, and so it came down the centu
ries to modern times. —Frank 11. Yi*e
