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*. THE VOI..

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.

Bryan & Dicken, Attorneys for American Freehold Land Mortgage Co. Dyspepsia Makes the lives of many people miserable, and often leads to self-destruction. Distress after eating, sour stomach, sick headache, heartburn, loss of appetite, a faint, “all gone" feeliug, bad taste, coated tongue, and irregu larity of the bowels, are Distress some of the more common After symptoms. Dyspepsia does _ • not get well of itself. It 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 overcoming the localsyrap toms removes the gympa thetic effects of the disease, banishes the headache, and rcfr»shes the tired mind. “ I have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had but little appetite, and what I did eat u . distressed me, or did me Heart* g oo< ], In an hour burn after eating I would expe rience a faintness, or tired, all-gone feeling, as though I had not eaten anything. My trou ble, I think, was aggravated by my business, which is that of a painter, and from being more or less shut up in a SOUf room with fresh paint. Last - . spring I took Hood's Sarsa- SlOmacn rilla—took three bottles. It did me an Immense amount of good.
