OBITUARY
Mrs. Nancy Wiggins, the beloved
wife of George Wiggins, Esq., died
at her home, near Sandersville, on
the first day of July, 1880, at the ripe
old ago of 75 years and 7 months.
Aunt Nancy, as she was familiarly
termed by the present generation of
young people of her neighborhood,
was born in this county, within six
miles of Sandersville, on the 5th of
Decetnbor, 1804. In early youth she
connected herself with the Methodist
church of which she has been a shin
ing member for a long number of
years, displaying in, her every day
walk the characteristics of a true
Christian lady. When she became
conscious that her end was npproach-
iug, she called her faithful old hus
band to her bedside and told him
“that Bite bad to die, that she felt
that she had not nil enemy in the
world, and that she was going to
Heaven." At the time of her death
she was an acceptable and honored
member of the Methodist church in
Sandersville. Thus has a mother in
Israel passed away. May she rest in
peace.

We are sorry to announce the
death of Mr. John Parker formerly
of our city. He was a brother of
Mrs. T. J. Laveigue and married Miss
Ann Langmade of this place. His

sympathies in this their sad bereav-
ment.
The subject of this mortuary, AlrB.
Mary E. Mills, wife of Mr. Stephen
Mills, was born in Baldwin county,
Ga., ALirch 14, 1801, and died in
Washington county, July 31st, 1880
at 3 o’clock a. in. Thus it is seen
that a life of 7!) years, 4 months and
17 days was spent by this Bister on
this earth, preparatory for a life iu
eternity beyond the grave.
When quite young, before tho ros-
f onsiblo duties of life were left to
er, she found Jesus precious to her
soul, and in accordance with thnt
great command “To-day if ye hear
liis voice, harden not your hearts,"
she was immediately baptised, and
till her death lived a consistent mem
ber of the Baptist church. What
more can be said of one of her years.
' The righteous judge, that she might
be the more useful, caused her to be
come tlio wife of one of the most en
ergetic, thorough-going and useful
men in tho county and for a long
time, ouo of the strongest pillars old
Union church has ever had or may
over expect to have.
Now sons and daughters grieve
not over this dt parted one, who so
tenderly wutched over and cared for
you iu your youth. Her wish is just
finished on earth, now she haB just
gone before you |to that Parnd.se,
from whence let you with her, by the
command of God, take yourselves
to His right hand,-there to rejoice at
your meeting throughout an endless
eternity. A. W. J

How Watches arc Ilado.
It will bo apparent to any one, who
will exainiue a Solid Gold Watch, that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing a large propor
tion of the precious metal used, is nee
ded only to stiffen and hold the engrav-
d portions iu place, and supply the
necessary solidity and strength. The
surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and bounty arc concerned. In
James Buss’ Patent Gold Watch
Casks, this waste of precious metal is
overcome, and the same solidity and
strength produced at from one-third to
one-half of the usual cost of solid cases
This process is of the most simple na
ture, as follows: A plate of nicklc
composition metal, cspenially adapted
to the purpose, hns two plates of solid
old soldered on each side. The three
arc then passed between polished steel
rollers, mid the result is a.strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the
cases, backs, centres, bezels, &e., are
cut and shaped by suitable dies and for
mers. The gold in these cases is suf
ficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing, engraving anil ouameling ; the
ongraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth by time and use
without removing the gold.
This is the only case made with two
plates of Solid, Gold and warranted by
special certificate.

DR TANNER.
New York, August 7.—On
leaving the’ Hall the doctor walked
unassisted down stairs, with a slice
of melon in his hand. He receiv-
ed an ovation from the crowd in
the streets, shops and windows and
exhibited much gratification at
the hearty reception. He ordered
cover of the carriage thrown back
and jocked and talked with the
crowd that surrounded the vehicle.
After two or three dozen persons
had grasped his hand, two accom
panying physicians had to grasp
him by the arm and hold him in
his seat to prevent them from tir
ing him out, as they feared serious
re-action from over-exertion.
On reaching the residence of Dr.
Gunn, Dr. Tanner at once lay
down in the front parlor and en
deavored to sleep. Milk and wa
termelon had not disagreed with
him. At 2:30, he was resting
quietly in good condition. He
has eaten watermelon in small
quantities three or four times with
out any deleterious effect. At
3:80 p. m., Dr Tanner drank one
ounce of light Hungarian wine, af
ter which he ate a small slice of
watermelon. At 4:30 p. m., he
was eating with great relish a
piece of beefsteak. He did not
swallow the fibre, but only pnr-
took of the juice ot the meat. He
saw no visitors during the altcr-
noon, and it, was reported ho was
in excellent spirits.
A Warning to Parent.
Acwortii, Ga., July 2O.—A
most distressing circumstance oc
curred here last Saturday evening
which resulted in tho death on
Sunday night of little Hattie Beck
Abbott, a two-year-old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Abbott, Air.
A’8 children and the children of
some of his neighbors were play
ing ‘Doctor/ when one of tho lit
tle girls got hold of a vial partly
full of creosote. She filled tho
vial with water and administered
tho mixture to the little baby with
fatal results. Parents, beware of
leaving poisons within the reach
of children,—Atlanta Constitution.
Close up that hook, and you will
see tho evidence of that fact all
around. There is not a day passes
but yon can read in tho pages of
the daily papers, “The wny of the
transgressor is hard.”
You go over to the tombs in
New York City, and you will find
a little iron bridge running from
the police court where the men are
tried, right iuto the cell. I think
the New York officials have not
been noted for their piety in your
time and mine, but they had put up
there in iron letters on that bridge,
“The way of the transgressor is
hard." They know that is true.
Blot it out if you can. God Al
mighty snid it. It is true. “The
way of tho transgressor is hard.”
On the other side of that bridge they
put these words: “A bridge of
sighs,” I. said to one of the offi
cers, “What did they put that up
there for?” He said that most of
the young men (for most of the
criminals are young men—“The
wicked don’t live out their days"—
put that in with it)—he said most
of the young men, as they passed
over that iron bridge, went over it
weepiug. So they called it “Tho
bridge of sighs.” “What made
you put that other there, “The way
of the transgressor is hard?’ ”
Well,” he said, “it is hard. I
think if you had anything to do
with this prison you would behove
that text, “The way of the trans
gressor is hard.’ ”—D. L. Aloody.

a Mrs. Garrison has recovered $12,

She brought lawsuits against
eight different saloon-keepers for
the harm done her, in making her
husband a drunkurd, and reducing
her from affluence, to poverty
Most of them paid her something
to stop the suits. One stood out
and resisted her claim. The end
was, the jury condemned him to
pay ten thousand dollars to reim

squandered, and two thousand
more by way of punishment! No

.A Child’s Question.
Infidelity is so unreasonable and
weak that it can not even bear the
questioning of a bright child.
Here is an illustration, given in
one ot our exchanges: Teaching
a lesson on the creation, the teach
er said, one day: “What would
you think, my dear children, of
some men who are so wise that
they toll us that everything in
this world is made of ntoms so
very little that wo can not see
them, and so very fine thatwe can
not touch them. And they say
that some of these atoms like
each other very much, and they
run togother, and make ull the
f things that wc see in the world
some make trees and flowers
some make rocks, other others
make the sun, moon and stars,
some fire, gome water, and some
clouds. Now this is not so very
strange, but they tell us that these
atoms do this all themselves!’
‘•Yes, ma’am,” said a bright little
grii, throwiug up her dimpled
hand,her eyes sparkling,“but who
made the a f oms ?” That simple
question annihilates tho whole
theory.—Church and Home.
