The last issue of the Pike County
Journal contained the following items
of special interest to readers of the
I Gazette:
There is no change in the condition
of Dr. C. F. Redding, who has been
quite sick for several days.
Miss Mamie Mitchell, of Barnes
ville, is the guest of relatives near
l town.
I
The friends of Mrs. J. H. Milner
will regret to learn that she has been
sick for the past week.
Mr. 11. A. Shockley, charged with
assault with intent to murder Will
Perkins, is now out on bond. His
bond, which was assessed at SI,OOO,
was signed by Messrs, j, J. Hudgins,
:J. G. Smith, W. B. Smith* and M.
! W. Smith.
There are $7,340 paid by the state
of Georgia to Confederate pensioners
in Pike county. They are classed
as follows: *
There are thirty-nine widows who
get sixty dollars each, fifty-two sold
iers who get sixty dollars each, four
soldiers wno get one hundred dollars
each, six soldiers who get five dollars
each, three soldiers who thirty
dollars each, twenty-nine soldiers who
get fifty dollars each and one who
gets ten dollars.
Fulton county has made a contract
with the commissioners of Pike coun
ty (o work her convicts. She is to
give $2 per month for convicts to
serve twelve months or longer and $1
per month for convicts sentenced to
serve less than twelve months. Wed
jiesday Sheriff Milner went to Atlanta
and turned over three prisoners. They
were Gray Britt. Chas. Jackson and
Chas. Jones. Jones goes up for one
year and Pike will draw $2 per month
tor his services. Chas. Jackson and
Gray Britt go for eight months each
and $1 per month will be paid for
their labor.
Heretofore Spaulding county has
been working the convicts of Pike
and paying $4 per month for-them,
and her relusal to accept them longer
means a great loss to Pike.
Twenty prisoners are now confined
in the county jail. Sixleen are yet to
be tried, the other four having been
sentenced to serve terms in the gang.
The following is a complete list of
the prisoners with the various offenses
with which they are charged: Tom
Langford, robbery; Asa Pugh, larceny;
Bob Huguly; larceny; Will Hinton,
larceny; Bob Smith, larceny; Jerry
Jackson, murder; Will Stanley, rape;
Will Josey, riot; Charles Pierce, riot;

sentenced to serve 6 months in the
gang; Ed Stafford,concealed weapons,
sentenced to serve 8 months in the
gang; Chas. Jones, abandoning child
ren, sentenced to serve 12 months in
the gang; Chas. Jackson, gaming, sen

OBITUARY-
Swatts. —Mrs. Martha Washing
ington Jordan Swatts, eldest daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Elvers Jordan,
j was born in Pike county, Ga., March
27, 1835; and died in Barnesville,
Ga., December 24, 1898. She was
! married to Mr. H. H. Swatts Decem
! her 18, iB6O, and unto them six chil
j dren were born, five of whom, and
the father, are now living. Early in
life she was converted and joined the
Methodist church at the old Pros
pect, remaining a faithful member of
I this church till her mernbeiship was
[ transferred to the church triumphant.
The great desire of ler life wjs to
have her children grow up to be use- j
ful men and women in the church
and in society. She took the deepest
interest in the minutest affairs that
concerned their education and their !
moral and spiritual welfare. In this |
connection she gave them diligent j
and constant instruction—making it |
her practice to read to them from ;
her church paper and other good
sources such things as would interest,
instruct and uplift them, and inspire
them with true principles and lofty
ideals of life. Her prayers are being
answered and her hopes realized; all
her children being active members of
the church. She was a typical wife
and mother of the good old Metho
dist school— living not for self but for
her loved ones. The serene calm of
her unselfish life was the channel
through which tlowed a measureless
power for good into her home and
her edmmunity. It was a living ex
position of the meaning of the Master
when he taught the glory of self-deni
al in those great words, -“He that
loseth his life for my sake shall find
it again.” He tender sympathies al
ways went out to others in their sor
rows and bghtened, by making com
mon, the lot of grief. Her heart
thrilled ofttimes with that high de
light which only the unselfish know
as she quietly ministered with
thoughtful kindness to the poor and
needy about her. Truly in her death
these have lost a friend indeed. Fash
ioned not after the vain glory of the
world which passes away, her life had
its perennial springs in the secret of
His presence—hid with Christ in
God. Fitting it was that her patient
face should carry a smile through the
gates of death, which, to such as she,
are only the inviting portals of im
mortality. As the setting sun reflects
his glory from the transfigured cloud
and sends a myriad lines ot light to
kindle all the stars 1* the skies till
his coming again, so a radiant life like
this, with triumphant faith illumines
the precious promises of God to shine
through all the night of bereavement
and sorrow, with a steadfast, comfort
ing light, till the morning dawns
“And with the morn those angel faces
smile,
Which we have loved long since, and
lost awhile.”
—Homer Bush.

Mrs- G- W Brown Buried-
The Gazette anuounced last w-eek
! the death of Mrs. C. W. Brown, but
there were no particulars in hand at
the time.
She died at Blakely, Ga., where
she was a guest of her brother, Judge
;H. C. Fryer, where she had been
for some months past. She has not
been strong for a few years p„st and
a few weeks ago she grew weaker and
it was believed by those who knew
of her condition that she would soon
go to the Home to which she had so
often pointed others and of which she
so delighted to talk Last week tel
egrams were sent to M ss Ida Brown
at West Point, Muss., and Miss Ada
Brown at Clarksvil.e, Tenn., calling
them to the bedside of their mother
and they arrived by the same train in
Blakely, Tuesday afternoon last week,
and when their mother saw them she
seemed satisfied and a few hours af
terward she died. She had liver! a
long and a useful life and said that
she was ready to go.
The remains were brought to Bar
nesville Wednesday afternoon and
Thursday they found a resting place
beside the grave of the husband, Mr.
C. W. Brown, of blessed memory.
The funeral services were he'd in the
Baptist church. Dr. Brittain spoke
tenderly of the useful life of the de
parted, and of how much she had
done for the church where she was
so long a member.
Mrs. Brown for a leng time lived
in Barnesville and everybody who
knew her had the utmost confidence
in her. There are none to dispute
the fact that she led a noble, true,
helpful life. Everybody loved Mrs.
Brown and recognized in her a Christ
ian of the purest character. She is
not dead, but has gone to the heaven
ly city to hear the plaudit: “Well done
good and faithful servant, enter thou
into the joys of thy Lord.”
The Gazette tenders its sympathy
to all the bereaved ones.

j and seeming a reasonable reduction in
; the hours of a day’s work, in the most
j practicable manner and feasible extent.
I That, to this end, said association may

| Stock shall never receive more
| than three percent annual dividend on

Has just closed themost successful year in its history. It has no
Foreign Business whatever, and confines itself to the healthier portions of
the United States.
Notwithstanding This
The company wrote in 1898 over $75,000,000 of New Business. This is
by far ahead of any other company that confines its business to our own
country.
It now has Assetts $115,446-643.15
And a Clean Surplus of 25,367,602.52
Tlie net results of the year’s work are as follows:
Increase in Assetts $12,071,107
Increase in Income-■ 2,287,245
Increase in Insurance Written 15,104,435
Increase in Insurance in Force 44.631,368
The Northwestern is a"4“Purely Mutual’* Company
Each policy holder being a member with equal voice in its management and
equal interest in its property. It is the object of the management to conserve the
interests of the existing membership rather than at too great expense to extend
to those outside the company the benefits enjoyed by its present members.
QUALITY rather than QUANTITY is and always has the primary
consideration of the Northwestern, and its members have for years received its
benegts at a low rate, a rate lower than that of any oilier company.
The result has been brought about by conservative methods, by a low ex
pense rate, by careful selection of risks—in a word, by applying to the manage
ment of the qusincss of the company those principels and practices which have
proved successful in other lines of business. Cali on ns for the “Best Insurance.”

We have often heard of this splen

we were shown through the factory
by Mr. Frank, their chemist and gen

the half had never been told. Their
