BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 2,1899.
fl BEAUTIFUL LIFE F,NDE>D-
On last Friday morning the people
of Barnesville were surprised to hear
of the death of Mrs. R. G. Matthews.
Her friends knew of her illness, but
none save her physician and her hus
band were aware that the end was
so near.
Mrs. Matthews was a beautiful
specimen of womanhood. Her vir
tues were not apparent to the public
eye. Her life wa* a light that shed
its sweet rays upon the seclusion of
home. Specious display had no
charms for her. Her ambition was
the imbellishmentt of the family,fire
side Rejecting those adornments
that please the gaze of the public,
she spent every energy in making
happy the lives of husband and child
ren and building up the character of
those who called her “mother.’’ She
was queen of a model family. With
the sceptre of love she swayed an in
fluence that was irresistible.
Her children seemed enraptured
with their heme life. It seemed a
delight to them to be within the
threshold of their dwelling, under the
protecting care of their mother. No
one who has not had an insight into
their lives, knows the beauty of that
family life over which Mrs. Matthews
presided.
Mrs. Matthews was a consecrated
Christian. She was not one who
made great professions of her relig
ion. Yet, though retired in bearing,
she often took the opportunity pub-
licly to confess her Christ.
In vain would we try to write a
deserved eulogy on the life that is
just closed. Man cannot pen the
deeds of a noble woman whose labors
are enshrined in the beautiful secu
rity of home. Her true Worth to the
world can never be revealed. Her
greatest merits are not known outside
the archives of heaven; but the holy
Christ who reads the hearts of all that
serve him, will give to her that has
just joined him beyond the skies, the
crown that she has so nobl^ r won.
The funeral seevice was held at
the Methodist church Sunday morn
ing, where a large congregation had
assembled to show their esteem and
love for the departed. Rev. W. S.
Stevens, her pastor, conducted the
service. The remains were interred
in the Greenwood cemetery.
Everybody sympathizes deeply with
the bereaved husband and children
and the other relatives of the family.
A Good Woman Dies.
Sunday night another one of the
good women of Barnesville went to
her reward. After a long and painful
illness, Mrs. D. C. Hightower depart
ed this life. For some time it has
been known that she could not sur
vive very long and death brought her
relief from great suffering. Mrs. High
tower was recognized by every one
as a sweet spirited, Christian woman,
one who was true in every sphere of
life. She was a true Christian, and
therefore a true wife and mother and
friend. She held the esteem and
confidence and was loved by every
body who knew her. She has long
been a member of the Methodist
church and she was always faithful in
her attendance upon all the services
of the church and in her labors.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the Methodist Tuesday morning
by her pastor, Rev. W. S. Stevens
and by Dr. J. M. Brittain, both of
whom paid beautiful tributes to her
life. The interment took place in
Greenwood cemetery.
Mrs. Hightower leaves a number of
children and other relatives to mourn
her loss, with all of whom The Ga
zette and the people of the commu
nity, deeply sympatize.
Mrs. Denningrton Dead.
The following item of news'was in
the Macon Telegraph Tuesday from
Yatesville:
Mrs. Maria E. Dennington, wife of
Prof. J. W. Dennington, died at their
home here Saturday night. She had
been a patient sufferer for a long
time. She and her husband have
devoted their lives to school teaching.
She was in her element in the school
room and she had a wealth of affec
tion for the little girls and boys, which
made them her friends. ’As they wept
yesterday afternoon around her cask
et it was a sight worthy of the inspired
touch of the masters in painting. The
hundreds of children who h ve been
under her tuition will rise up to call
her blessed..
Grip makes one sick, weary and restless.

ft Bio Addition-
The Summers Buggy Cos. will make
a big addition to their already large
buggy factory at once. Much of the
rock and brick and lumber are already
on the ground ready to go inlo the
new building. Mr. A. O. Bennett
has the contract and when he begins
he will push the work rapidly.
The new addition will be built of
brick and will be 35 by 65 feet, mak
ing a very important improvement to
the plant. It will be used for wood
working machinery which the com
pany has already bought and which
will be put in as soon as the new
building is finished. This addition
will increase the capacity of the
Summers} Buggy Cos. from 1000 to
1500 buggies annually. The com
pany, as is well known, is composed
of Mr. G. L. Summers and his son,
Mr. Charles O. Summers, and we are
glad to note their prosperity and
these important improvements.
B. Y. P. IJ. Entertainment.
Mrs. J. R. Jenkins has arranged
for a very interesting intertainment
of the Baptist Young People’s Union,
Friday evening at her home. It
promises to be a very enjoyable oc
casion, as a very unique program has
been planned. All who are to be
present are requested to read the
story of Isaac and Rebecca.
The following is the very interest
ing invitation which Mrs. Jenkins
has given the young people:
Come to luy lii-me at seven,
Urine your ltilile, stay ’till eleven,
And through the scriptures we’ll taka
A search lor a tine truit cake,

Quite dangerous, too, are such ills.

’Tis a remedy that always cures.

Jumps the Track.
The* Thomaston train has been
performing a series of antics for the
past year. Its latest feat was that of
the engine leaping the track down on
the triangle. This happened on
Monday and delayed the passengers
until after noon. Fortunately, there
were no casualities except to the en
gine.
Death of Mrs J. L. Gardner.
At 10:30 o’clock Sunday morning
Mrs. J. L. Gardner died at her home
in the city. She had been sick with
dropsy for about eleven months, dur
ing which time she had suffered
greatly, but patiently. She was a de
vout Christian woman; a kind and
loving wife and mother. She is sur
vived by her husband, Mr. J. L.
Gardner, and three children. Her
remains were interred at Shiloh
chrnch, in Monroe county, yesterday.

Bedford Cos.. Va. I had two physicians, but
neither did me any good. I was troubled with
pains ill my left side all the time. When it was
time for my monthly period* I thought I would
die with pains in my back and stomach. I also
had chills. I could not get up without fainting
Finally I look three tx.ttles of Hr Pierce'S Fa
