Mrs. Ada J. Bostwick, wife of R. \
Bostwick, 38 years of age, departed
this life September 18th, 1909, after
brief period a
of illness. She was very
bright and cheerful. Less than an
hour ere her summons came. She
conversed cheerfully with her beloved
companion only a few minutes before.
Oh! sad, very sad, young companion,
mother, daughter, sister, in the bloom
of health and prime of life was taken
so suddenly from her loved ones.
But, Thy will, loving Savior, not ours,
be done. Lived together fifteen years,
lacking only a few weeks. A pleas¬
ant companion, fond mother, kind
friend to all. He, who knoweth best,
and and doeth those all things well wanted her[
around her couch, could al¬
most hear the rustle of the Angel
wings as they bore her freed and hap¬
py spirit from earth to Heaven.
Weep not for her, nor wish her back
again. She is not dead, but lives
where sickness never comes nor pain,
nor death. He transplanted her spirit
on the Shining Shore. She will
through eternal ages bloom in un¬
wasting fragrance and beauty. Yet,
in our anguish, our hearts cry out for
a touch of the hand that is vanished,
a sound of the once dear familiar
voice that a good, kind, loving, mer¬
ciful Heavenly Father has deprived
us of, and one of the main links in
the family chain. She has been a
member of the Methodist church at
Walnut Grove, twenty-one years. She
leaves a husband, mother, and four
children—one son, fourteen years old,
and three daughters, youngest in her
seventh year—four brothers and one
sister survive her—Mrs. Ida Garrett,
Messrs. G. L., J. H., R. D. and R. M.
Dial—besides a large circle of other
relatives and friends to mourn her
untimely death. She was tenderly
laid to rest in the Macedonia Church
Cemetery, Sept. 19th, ult. Time heals
all wounds, to those who obey His
precious commands. Weep not, loved
ones, she has gone up higher in eter¬
nal glory to wear a brighter crown to
beckon you upward.
Silent on earth, is thy merry voice,
Clasped for ages the sweet smiling
eyes,
Folded forever the precious white
hands,
Fled the pure spirit beyond the skies.
We know thou art safe in Heaven
sweet one,
That thine eyes behold thy Fathers
face,
That thy hands clasp a golden Harp,
And thy sweet voice sings around the
Throne of Grace.
Thy brief stay was like a ray of light,
Glancing athart life’s weary waste,
Like a sweet white flour by sunbeams
kissed,
Whose petals slowly unfold—So best.
Her Father knew thou wert all too
pure,
For contact with earth to sin risen.
So our precious one was plucked from
our louging hands,
To bloom unfadingly iu Heaven.
So sleep, dear one, sweetly sleep,
In thy lonely quiet grave.
Though we do indeed sorely miss thee,
Yet our sorrows we shall brave.
Lovingly an Aunt, E. E. H.

ACTIVITY IK FARM
AND TIMBER LANDS
Capitalist From West Continue to
Invest in Georgia and Ala¬
bama Lands.
The Georgia and Alabama Indus¬
trial Index, published at Columbus,
sa y s in its regular weekly issue:
The general activity in farm and
timber lands was a noticeable feature
of the past week, while as usual there
were many large transactions in city
realty over the two states. A tract
of timber land near Americus, Ga.
sold for $75,000, and down in Brooks
county, Georgia, the turpentine and
timber privileges of a large body of
land alone brought about $30
acre. In Birmingham, per
located Ala., a well
business lot sold for $3,000 per
front foot. A $50,000 real estate com¬
pany was organized at Griffin, Ga.,
and numerous sub-divisions are re¬
ported for various cities and towns,
real indicating the activity of suburban
estate. People from the middle
west continue to invest in pecan
groves in southwest Georgia. Penn
sylvania and New York people organ
ized a timber company at Dahlonega
in the north Georgia mountains, with
capital stock of $25,000.
“One of the biggest things that has
yet happened for the Birmingham,
Ala., district, is now on in the act of
being brought to pass. The Tennes¬
see Coal, Iron & Railroad Company,
which has such heavy investments in
that section and operates on a very
extensive scale in the vicinity of Bir¬
mingham, has solved the problem of
supplying for water for its various plants
once and for all, and after a long
and detailed examination of the whole
situation announces that it will build
a giant dam at a certain point where
an immense reservoir can be created,
thus providing an ample supply of
water at all times. Coincident with
the building of this dam, which will
be 90 feet high and 490 feet long and
create a lake holding 2,500,000,000
gallons of water, the company will
install a new battery of coke ovens
and make other costly improvements.’
