WEEKLY 1 TIMES.
nr FOUCUE rf JOHXSOA.
J. A. FOUCHE, Editor.
Entered at the postoffice at McDonough
Cra., as second-class mail matter.
McDonough. Ga., Nov. 27, 1891.
Judge Stilwell.
Judge Stilwell was born in Mecklen
burg, N. C., in 180 G, and died at the
home ot his son-in-law, James V>. Dali,
in Butts county, Ga., on Wednesday
night, Nov. 18, 1891, being in the 75th
year of his age at the time of his
death.
When a young man, Judge Stilwell
moved to Henry county, engaging in
the mercantile business at McDonough,
but after the war he moved to Spald
ing county and in 1865 began to mer
chandise in Griffin in co partnership
with L’apt. Geo. \V T . White, the firm
lasting until Judge Stilwell retired to
private life, some twelve years later
He then remained on his plantation un
til after the death of his wife and his
feeble health caused him to give up
his farming interests and live with Ins
children, most of his time being spent
in Griffin, where he has two daughters,
Mrs, R. A. McDonald and Mrs. I). W.
Patterson, living. One son and seven
daughters, all having families, survive
him, among the number being Mrs.
Sam Dailey, formerly of McDonough
but now of Atlanta. He was an uncle
of Judge John F. Stilwell of Griffin,
and br jther-in-law of Mrs. Sal lie W.
Brown of this city.
During his life, Judge StMwell held
many positions of trust and honor, all
of which he filled with satisfaction and
credit. He was a consistent member
of the Methodist church and a truly
good man.
His remains were interred in McDon
ough last Friday, Rev. Mr. Sassnet, of
Griffin, in a beautiful funeral sermon
paying eloquent tribute to his memory;
and a number of friends were pieseut
at the last sad rites to pay respect in
death to all that was mortal of one
whom they honored in life.
“THKN AND NOW.”
Sad, but Memorable Heniinlsiiuces.
McDonough, Henky County', Ga.,
Nov. 20tb, 1891.—Called here to day
to pay the last tribute of respect to one
of God’s noblest works—to lay to rest
the remains of Judge John Stilwell.
Dear to me by a thousand ties. My
uncle by nature. My father in a busi
ness view. The one whose name I
was honored with, and whose teachings
were ever to impress all with whom
he came in contact that honest, upright
dealing, even in the trivial affairs of
life as well as large transaction, was
better than gold. And not only thus
by precept, but by endorsement, with
out recompense or reward, save an un
feigned love and homage of a grateful
heart.
When the last act was accomplished
that was possible with mortals for the
mortal remains of this good man ; when
sad memories of the once happy past
filled my heart of hearts, while yet at
the new made grave, and near where
grand father and grand mother, mother
and many of childhood and youth's as
sociates and kindred, and the panoram
ic view of the long ago passed before
me, I said unto myself, I will go and
spend the remainder of this sad day at
the place that nurtured me as a child,
and through youth to manhood.
With a horse and buggy I started on
this mission. I will go the near way.
After I left the surburbs of the
once greatest town, 1 thought, on the
earth—McDonough—not a house of
all the houses I had known, and sever
al of them I had helped to build, was
as I knew it. lam not a carpenter,
but when John Rawls, one of the Sow
ell boys, Bill Cowans aud 1 were on
the corner of a log house it was sure to
go up plumb. These were all either
rotted down or moved away to more
convenient places, and other settle
ments made. So all was changed.
The first familiar face, and this oue
but for ways and actions that out live
faces I would have scarcely recognized
as “old uncle Ephriam” an old negro
man that nursed me when a babe, and
who was ever ready to go with us boys
opossum or coou hunting, aud who took
us to all the corn shuckiugs for miles
around. He that we had grown up
with until when neighbor Gray or Far
rar had invited the neighbors to come
over and help them roll logs. I sav
we boys had grown up until we would
say, “Uncle Ephriam if you think you
can break off more of this hand-stick
than I can face me for the day.” Yes,
of all the race, he is nearer to me than
any of his color. Ephraim was the
stay of grand father aud graud mother.
Without him and Reiny what would
they have done ? He not only made
the support for those old folks, but had
a plenty of the good tbiugs of life for
all us childreu when we gathered there,
be we many or few.
While in conversation with this old
negro, I remarked :
“Father is in towu.”
“Who ? Mars Squiie ?
“Yes.”
“I‘m goiu* and see him.”
I proceeded on my way. The last
mile was so short; why it was nothing
like half as far as ir. used to Ire.
1 am here on grand pa Knott’s old
place, then here is graud mother Stil
well's, ad before I know it lam at the
big gate that opened up into the lane
that led up to my oi l home.
“Whoa,” said Ito the horse. And
to an old negro close by:
“Uncle, the road has b°-»n changed,
has it not ?”
“No, sab ; not since i knowed it.”
No gate, no lane, no horse lot with
the barnes and stables. Why, there is
no garden, with its old fashioned warp
ed fence. The blacksmith shop, the
smoke house and all, gone. The hick
ory tree, that stood in the yard, and
the post oak that stood beside it, are
not there now. I stopped and looked,
gazing around in utter amazement.
I asked the colored woman that lived
there for a gourd. She handed me a
tin dipper.
“Can’t you give me a gourd?” I ask
ed.
“No,” she said.
So, I took the dipper and went to
the spring. 1 was astonished to find
the distance so short. Why it must be
a long way to the spring, and this don’t
look like our spring. There is not
half the water that runned from that
gum And it was a round gum that
lather and I sawed off of a hollow gum
log, and this one is square. The big
white oak and the poplar that stood
just here, the one close by and the oth
er over the run of the branch is gone.
Still here is the little big leaf hickory,
the one from which we children used
the leaves to dip cool drinks of water
from the spring. This tree was not
more than four inches through. Now
it is two feet or more. I dipped up a
dipper of water and drank, ft is just
as it used to be ; warm in the winter
and cool in the summer, a then great
wonder to me. Igo up on what I
used to think a high hill, it is not near
so high nor so steep now. Dow strange,
none of these fields are so large as they
were when I followed the plow over
them year after year. Why this one
was the eleven acre field, and this be
low the spring, five aud a quarter
acres. Now it would take them both
to measure ten.
1 looked at my watch and was re
minded that time had not stopped, aud
I must away or night would overtake
me. So, hack to the house 1 went.
It remained yet with its shed rooms as
of yore; here in this room, right here,
is where ray bed stood. It is not so
large as it ever was. And the main
body of the house is surely not the
same. Yes, here is where the staple
was driven in the sill where I fastened
the yard dog while I took the hounds
and went hunting.
Not only last now. hut 1 hope will
be the last spot on earth that I will ev
er forget ; the oue just at the edge of
the yard where every night, when the
weather would permit, auil she was
able, my mother, before retiring for
the night, went and in her humble and
earnest manner asked her God to bless
her and those dear to her. Many times
have I slipped near the place aud lis
tened to her petitions. And more times
in the storms of life that are now most
ly behind me, has this been the anchor
that saved my soul from shipwreck.
Here in the old house, right here in
this cornel, is where her bed stood—
here is the last place that I ever saw
her sweet face—here her last words to
me were spoken. “John, I will never
see you again on earth ; he a good man
and live to meet ine on the right baud
of the throne of God. My prayers
shall ever follow you.”
All this teaches that there is nothing
true hut God. All is passing, nothing
stays, nothing remains. All is under
the oue great judgement: “From dust
thou art, and uuto dust thou shalt re
turn.” “That we are grass. In the
morning it growetli up, in the evening
it is cut down and withereth.” I am
left yet. My life has been precious in
his sight. For what purpose ? This
is the question that I and all others in
like condition should ask aud reflect
upon. The Flt Leaf.
Rev. T. J. Bledsoe made a trip to
Sand Mountain, Ala., this week, where
he went to look after a lot of land
drawn by Mr. Milton lfayes The
laud contains a rich deposit of coal,
aud the titles of Mr. Hayes were found
to be all right. The Dade Coal Mice
Co. has been paying the taxes upon it,
but had in no way been occupying it,
and Mr. Bledsoe says there will be no j
difficulty about Mr. Hayes ohtaiuing
possession. It is a valuable piece ot
property of 160 acres, and Mr. Hayes
is to l>e congratulated upon his good
fortune.
The Best Authorities,
Such as Dr. Dio Lewis, l’rof. Gross,
and others, agree that catarrh is not a
local but a constitutional disease. It
therefore requires a constitutional rem
edy like Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which ef
fectually and permanently cures ca
tarrh. Thousands praise it.
Hood’s Pills cure liver ills, jaundice,
billiousness, sick headache, coustipatiou
and all troubles of the digestive organ*.

Killing at Snapping Shoals.
The Covington Star gives the fol
lowing account of the killing of a Hen
ry county negro at Snapping Shoals
last week:
A negro man, named Eb. Fears,
was shot and killed at Snapping Shoals,
on Wednesday night, the 18th iust,
The shootiug was done by another
engro, named Josh Usher.
Both negroes lived in Henry county.
The killing was doue at a negro
dance at Snapping Shoals, which is iu
Newton county.
The difficulty arose about the dauc
ing, and Fears went across the river
into Henry county, at a late hour in
the night borrowed a double barrel shot
gun, and returned to the dance, when
the quarrel was renewed, and Usher
used his pocket pistol oil Fears before
he could tire his gun.
Two pistol shots were fired iuto
Fears body by Usher, and Fears fired
oue barrel of his gun at Usher, hut did
not hit him.
Fears died iu a few minutes after
being shot.
Coroner Osborn was notified of the
killing on Thursday morning, and went
out and held au inquest upon the body
ol Fears.
The verdict of the jury was that the
killing was murder.
Usher skipped out, after the shooting,
and has not been arrested up to this
time.
Although the coroner’s jury has pro
nounced the killing to be murder, from
what we can learn about the shooting,
it appears to us to have been done in
self defense, and was justifiable.
However, of this we are not fully in
formed, as the testimony is said to have
been conflicting.

Eating requires careful, persistent
attention, and a remedy like Hood’s Sarsa
parilla, which acts gently, yet surely and
efficiently. It tones the stomach and other
organs, regulates the digestion, creates a
good appetite, and by thus Sick

headache, and rcfr»shes the tired mind.
“ I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I

more or less shut up in a SOUf
