A Sad Death.
One of the saddest deaths in Henry
county in a long while, was that of Mr.
Andrew Bowden, one of our oldest citi
zens, who passed suddenly away last
Saturday, just after noon.
Mr. Bowden left his home near El
lenwood in the morning, in better
health than usual, and came to Mc-
Donough to prepare his will and have
it recorded. He secured the legal aid
o( Col. Reagan, went cheerfully and
actively into his business, and soon had
everything properly arranged, appear
ing perfectly well and contented.
Litile did the Tenerable man dream
the end of his aged life was so near.
Upon reaching McDonough, Mr.
Bowden accidently met his son, Rev.
G. B. Bowden, who teaches school at
Bethany, three or four miles east of
town. After finishing his business, he
remarked to bis son that he was feeling
so much better than usual, he would go
out and spend the night with him. The
proposition was gladly assented to, and
by dinner time the father and son were
seated happily at the family table.
A hearty meal was finished by Mr.
Bowden, after which he seated himself
ic a chair for a pleasant chat.
Not more than ten minutes elapsed
before he suddenly threw his hand to
his heart, gasped, sank down, and life
passed gently out. Heart disease had
performed its dread mission.
Mr. Bowden resided in McDonough
in his early life, where he had many
friends—as indeed he did wherever he
lived and was known. He was not
only a good man, but a good citizen,
with the respect and esteem of every
body. He was in his eighty-first year,
and is survived by his aged wife and
twelve grown children—nine sons and
three daughters.
11 is remains were carried to the bur
ial ground near his old home Sunday
morning, where they were laid peace
fully to rest. May that rest be sweet,
is the wish of many sympathizing
friends.
Bells te-llarris.
The marriage of Mr. W. M. Be
lisie and Miss Effie Harris was solemn
ized at the home of the bride’s father,
in Butts county, on Sunday raorniag
last.
Immediately after the ceremony they
proceeded to the home of the groom’s
parent’s in Senoia, where they will re
main a week or so and return to Me
Donough to reside.
Mr. Belisle came to our city about a
year ago and established himself in the
jewelry business, winning confidence as
an exemplary young man. Ilis biide
is one of Butts county’s most beautiful
and popular young ladies, and their
numerous friends wish them a life full
of tuusbine and covered with roses.
No small objection which young folks
| had to the old time spring-medicines
was their nauseousness. In our day,
j this object’on is removed and Ayer’s
Sarsaparilla, the most powerful and
popular of blood purifierg, is as pleas
ant to the palate as a cordial.
The U. S. Gov't Reports

Superior Court.
The regular spring term of Henry
! Superior Court convened last Monday
' morning, li was Judge Beck’s first
I court here, aud lie was promptly in his
i place, organizing cxpediciously nod
! proceeding immediately to business.
Ilis charge to the grand jury- comman
ded close attention, and was one of the
finest we ever heard auy where. Per
haps its most striking feature was his
impressive presentation of the strong
demands for a ut-w court house, but he
set forth in a clean and forcible man
ner the duties of the jury, strongly urg
ing thoroughness and earnestness in all
thtir work. Judge Beck is able, ac
| live and progressive, aud evidences the
j fact that he is the “right man in the
right place.”
Solicitor-General Bioodwortb was
also promptly at his post, aud by his
able, attentive service wins more and
more popularity as he is better known.
The graud jury was organized by
electiug ex-Mayor John W. Stephens
of Hampton as foreman, and Mr.
M. C. Low clerk. It is composed of
ati intelligent, sound body of men, who
will doubtless endeavor to discharge
their lawful duties regardless of “fear,
favor or affection.”
The bar is ably represented by the
usual number of local and visitiug at
torueys, and as we go to press business
is progressing nicely, with the prospect,
at present rale of progress, of adjourn
ing with only one week’s session.
Only those brought out by actual
court duties, or some business, are on
baud, making the attendance exceed
ingly small.
Later.—Court adjourned yesterday
evening to ihe 4th Monday in March,
when disqualified cases will be tried.

As it seems that the two little hus
tlers, “Uno and Ino,” and the gener
ous hearted “Short Fellow” have for
gotten The Weekly, and that Lu
ella was short of a correspondent, I
will try a “few shots” from our striving
little town, provided you will allow
space for such scribbling. I feel al
most as awkward trying to correspond
for a paper as an upstart of a boy does
when he makes his first effort at court
ship with some timid damsel. But
nevertheless I will ask to he overlook

Fellow,” please don’t think lam try

Ino,” they were sitting back under
wide brim straw hats, as happy as June
bugs, looking as innocent as a cross
eyed monkey. Now, boys, lam only
trying to compliment you; don’t be
too fast uow,*for I don’t care for any
of yours in return.
