THE MONTICELLO NEWS.
ESTABLISHED 1881.
IS NOW ASSURED.
Cominissioners Make A
Wise Decision.
The Lot for Structure Selected.
That Jasper County is to have
a new Court House is now an
assured fact. The County Com
missioners have recently purchas
ed the two vacant lots ¢n the north
sidle of the public square,
and just as soon as a 4 elec
tion can be ordered to determine
whether or not bonds shall be is
sued or a regular tax imposed for
the building of same, active prep
arations will begin for the erect
ion of a modern temple of justice.
The site selected is quite a con
venient one, and located as it is on
an incline, will afford ample facili
ties for furnace heating, drainage
and other conveniences.
Funeral Services
Were Impressive,
The funeral services of Mr.
Howard Penn were held at the
Presbyterian church, of which he
was a member, Sunday afternoon
at half past two o'clock, and were
conducted by Rev. J. P. Erwin,
of the Methodist church, who
officiated in the absence of a regu
lar nastor.
' The church was filled with
loving friends and relatives who
gathered to pay a last tribute,
The services were beautiful and
impressive throughout. - Mr. Er
win’s rematks were very touching
and the selections by the choir
were appropriate and sweetly
rendered.
There waza wealth of floral offer
ings, many of them contributed
by friends here, others coming
from Atlanta, Macon, Madison,
Greensboro and Eatonton.
The Pythian lodge of Monticello
formed an honorary escort to the
remains and the following young
men acted as pall bearers: Mr,
Troy Kelly, Dr. D. J. Blasingame,
Mr. J. S. Malone, Jr., Mr. Jim
Pittard, Mr. Nisbet Harvey, Mr.
Paul Roberts, Mr. Augustus Ma
lone and Mr. Durwood Pye.
After the services at the church
the Knights of Pythias took charge
of the body and with the solemn
and impressive ceremonies of their
order tenderly laid it to rest in
the family section in West View
cemetery,
After an illness of nearly four
months last summer, M, Penn
went to El Paso, Texas, in Sep
tember, accompanied by his bro
thers, Messrs Henry and Fitzhugh
Penn, with the hope of regaining
his health. There was a marked
improvement in his condition and
all were assured of his recovery
until a few weeks ago when grip
and a severe throat trouble set in.
He lost strength rapidly and it be
came necessary to place him in a
sanitarium for treatment. After
ten days it was thought that he
had Itmproved sufficiently to under
take the trip home, and it was
during a stop-over of twenty four
hours in New Orleans that he died
at a hospital in that city, He was
accompanied by his wife and Mr.
Fitzhugh Penn,
He is survived by his wife and
two little daughters, his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Thos. R. Penn, two
sisters and three brothers, Misses
Maud and Martha Penn, Messrs
Henry Penn, Fitzhugh Penn and
Tom Penn,
Sad Death of
‘ Mr, Howard M. Penn.
’ A message was received hy
friends in the city announcing the
‘death of Howard M. Pennin New
Orleans Thursday morning while
enrcute home from El Paso, Texas.
Mr. Pean's health failed atout a
year ago and he went to El Paso,
in the hope of a restoration to
health in that climate, For a while
he improved rapidly until about
two weeks ago Mrs. Penn was
called from her home in Monticel
lo to his bedside. His death oc
curred on the journey home.
Genial, whole souled, sunny
hearted and ge/ ous to a fault,
Howard Penn made many friends
during his residence in Eatonton,
who will be saddened by the news
of his death. He was for several
months connected with The
Messenger, and afterwards es
tablished the telephone system
now in use here. ,
He gave up his work and res.
idence here on account of his
health, and has since done ex
cellent work on his home paper,
The Monticello News, He is sur
vived by his wife and two children,
three and five years of age.
Mrs. Penn has the sympathy
and condolence of her many Ea
tonton friends in her bereavement,
Mr. Penn’s funeral occurred in
Monticello, and his body was laid
to rest among those who knew and
loved him in Ife.—Eatonton
Messenger,
A Loving Tribute.
I desire to pay a loving tribute
to the memory of Howard M.
Penn, whose recent death has
saddened all who knew him.
While his relatives knew that
after his long illness last summer
and his consequent weakened con
dition, that his life was hanging
in a balance, they could but hope
and trust that he would rally and
regain his accustomed health and
strength. This hope was sustain
ed for a while by encouraging re
ports received after his safe ar
rival in Texas, where he had been
carried by loving relatives, But
disease had made such inroads up
on his constitution that nothing
that could be done by human care
and attention could long prolong
his life.
His death was sad—because of
the taking from among us one sc
universally beloved. Sad--because
of the loss to us of onein the prime
of a useful career. Sad—because
it occurred on his homeward
journey. Sad—because of the
sundering of ties of husband and
father. Sad—because of the de-{
privation to wife and children as
well as to mother, father, sisters
and brothers of one whose pres
ence was nothing short of sun
shine, that both gladdened and
warmed.
I can unhesitatingly say that a
more popular, a more warm heart
ed or a more upright and genial
young man, socially as well as in
all business relations, never lived
among us,
He was so sunny and bright in
his nature, that even in his hours
of sickness, he was seldom des
pondent and never morose. He
basked in the sunshine, saw and
gathered flowers by the way and
caught many of the happy musical
notes of life.
His connection with the news
paper work at this place as man
ager, publisher and editor was for
such a time and so continuous
that we feel that we have lost, in
deed, one of our city s best and
most zealous champions, for his
