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. Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine brings rest. 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.

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. —Griffin News (Tuesday).
