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. PERSONAL.

His family and friends have our warmest 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.

Walker and J. II. May having 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. For sale by all Jewelers.

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. D1VIDEND.NO. 1. Secretary's Office, S. & T. R. R. Co.

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. 20TH SENATORIAL DISTRICT.
