MRS. B. B. CARMICHAEL
GOES TO SAINT’S REWARD.
Beloved McDonough Woman
Yielded to Paralysis In Atlan
ta Monday Evening,
Mrs. Georgia Carmichael died at
the home of her son, Mr. L. R.
Carmichael, on Spruce street in
Atlanta at 9.45 o’clock Monday
night.
Mrs. Carmichael had been in
bad health for a year or more.
Until about ten days before her
death she had been in an Atlanta
sanitarium. On the 13th instant
she had a stroke of paralysis and
was then taken to her son’s home
on Spruce street, where every at
tention possible was given to her
In the effort to restore her to
kealth.
It is the involintary tribute
which we hear from the lips of all
as we go about our city that Mrs.
Carmichael was a good woman in
the very best and highest sense of
the word.
People generally did not enjoy
the good fortune of knowing her
intimately, for practically the
whole career of her splendid
Womanhood spent itself in the
kome.
Here she truly shown as a
queenly home builder and happi
ness builder for those who dwelt
there.
Words, idle words, cannot be
gin to express the tribute to her
which daily expresses itself in the
lives of high-souled children and
the homage of a noble husband’s
heart, now bowed beneath the
Weight of its loneliness, and all
treasuring the sweetness of lov
ing memories of a holy life that
remains even now a shining light,
growing more and more unto the
perfect day.
Then those friends who enjoy
ed her friendship knew and valu
ed her as one of the rare souls of
their human companionship dur
ing this earthly pilgrimage. And
all the community where she liv
ed knew that her life was a light
shining along the higher ways
*nd now mourn her death as the
earthly passing of one who adorn
ed this life arid enriched it.
The remains were brought to
McDonough on the 9 o’clock train.

Richland and Thomaston Papers
Pay Deserved Tribute to The
Rev. W. W Arnold.
We copy the following article
from The Thomaston Times.
Brother Arnold was formerly pas
tor of the McDonough Baptist
church and has a host of friends
here in all denominations, who
will read with pleasure the good
things said about him below:
“In a recent issue of the Rich
land News there appeared a very
complimentary notice concerning
Rev. W. W. Arnold, pastor of the
Thomaston Baptist church, which
will be of considerable interest to
the readers of the Times. It fol
lows:
“ ‘ln a recent letter from a lady
in Thomaston, Ga., to a relative
here, she speaks very highly of
Rev. W. W. Arnold, who has re
cently located there as pastor of
the Baptist church of that city.
She states that “although he has
only preached at two services
since arriving here, the members
and the congregation at large
were very much elated over the
pleasure of their church securing
his services as pastor.”
“ ‘While these are glad tidings to
the many friends of Rev. Arnold
here, it is hardly more than our
people expect from the people in
any town where he locates. Rev.
Arnold was pastor of our church
here for a number of years and
for us to say that he was a gentle
man, an eloquent and forceful
preacher, and a devoted and faith
ful man of God, we speak only in
the mildest phrases.
“ 4 ln his ministerial career here,
he so endeared himself to the
people of Richland that he is al
ways extended that welcome
hand on his visits and when he
can so arrange to preach here
now and then, he is always greet
ed with a good audience. Know
ing him personally, we feel that
we can heartily congratulate the
Thomaston church on securing
« i
him and we wish a year of un
bounded success to Rev. Arnold
and his charge at Thomaston.’ ”
