In Loving Memory ot Miss Genie
Palmer.
"Ah, we'll il were- lo livr ant! 'lie.
Whatever heights of fame we miKs,
T^' win from lipn nt life’s eclipse
So sweet nn epitaph ns this :
‘Everybody loved her.* M
Miss Mary Eugenia Palmer was born
Sept. 5, 18-10, and Nov. 13, 1909, passed
on to her rich reward in heaven, to her
Father’s house, where the solitary are
set in families where no more homes
will be broken up because of death, for
death never enters there. Like a rose
that bloomed until the autumn days
had come, our loved one has been trans
planted from the chilling winds of
earth to a clime where spring is eter
nal. Eternal youth, she has gone to
greet it! Reared hy a saintly mother,
whose life was a blessing, whose death
was a benediction, and whose memory
is as ointment poured forth, she early
gave her heart to God, uniting with
the Baptist church. When strong in
body she delighted in teaching in the
Sunday-school, and many noble women
who have received her instruction arise
and call her blessed. The bible was the
book with her; and on her knees, wilh
her open bible, she talked to God and
He talked to her, in her daily study of
its truths.
Graduated from Covington Female
College, class of 1857 a classmate of
Mrs. Atticus Haygood she was a pio
neer in collegiate education for women,
in which Georgia led the world, and
nobly did she demonstrate the theory
an object lesson in any company, the
life of the occasion, radiating joy and
chepr to all, possessing the refinement
that wealth cannot give, nor poverty
take away: the beneficent influence
of higher female education has been
scattered far and wide from this one
source. Richly endowed mentally, and
beautiful in person anti character, she
was loved and admired hy those whose
lives she touched in the bright morning !
of her youth. A gallant Confederate I
colonel admired and loved her, and fain ;
would have made her his bride; but she I
had been educated to aid a widowed
mother of limited rhesus in rearing and
educating a younger brother and sis
ter; hence she made this renunciation
through loyalty to those who needed
her best endeavors. Nobly did she per
form her mis ion, in example and pre
cept, us shown hy ibis younger broth
er, in later years, when :eeking em
ployment in a large city, being asked
what be wished to do, answered, “Any
thing to make a living for a mother
and two sister.-:.” Amply did he suc
ceed, and most generously did he pro
vide home and comforts for them, sav
ing, when announcing to his mother his
approaching marriage, “J)o not fear
anything, for the best of all l have will
always he yours.’’ The subject of this
sketch might have accumulated wealth
with what had been provided for her,
hut she thought little of earthly invest
ments, though much of “laying up
treasure in heaven ” She was no "new
woman,” hut an old-time Southern
gentlewoman a type that is fast
passing away, though some still linger,
tenderly cherished, at our own tire-
side and those of relatives and fiiends
—the beautiful, fragile link to a pic
turesque past, unrivaled in history.
Leaving business affairs to men, gen
tleness, sunshine and love marked her
presence in any home that was so for
tunate as to have her for an inmate. A
member, a valued officer, of the Ladies
Memorial Association, she gave freely
of her time and means to its success,
whose ultimate aim was the marking,
with an enduring tablet, the grave of
each soldier whose sacred dust lies in
our Con federate cemetery, and also
erecting monuments to perpetuate the
valor and heroism of those who gave
their lives in defense of our fair South
land. No life touched hers without be
ing enriched. She had the happy fac
ulty of showing the bright; side of life
to the discouraged, and was never eo
happy as when doing something for
others. As memory reviews the happy
past it recalls no character more beau
tiful than this lamented friend, always
the same—kind, sympathetic, helpful.
Congenial in her companionship, obey
ing the apostolic injunction to “rejoice
with them that do rejoice, and weep
with them that weep.” A lover of na
ture in all its varying moods, she had
the true joy of life—enchanted by the
sunrise, the sunset, the clouds, the
stars;—ecstatic about the moon, wheth
er as a silver sphere or crescent hung
aslant the sky; by the flowers of the
wildwcod, as much as those nurtured
by her own skillful hand. Not to hear
the unpleasant, nor think of the disa
greeable, were her admonitions; but
“whatsoever things are true, whatso
ever things aie honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are
pure, whatsoever thirgs are lovely,
whatsoever things are of go. d report, it
thereto- any virtue, and of there b
any praise, think of the • things.”
and magnified them in th - she knew,
thinking of you give a person a good
name they will try to live up t - it, re
minding one of this allegory : A gifted
young American artist, lingering with
a fatal disease in the Latin quarter of
Paris, painting the picture of H young
woman whose life was not what it
ahouM have been, when she p.aw the
angelic expression of her portrait, said,
“I want to he like it.”
Though having almost lived out the
allotted span we did not realize she was
growing old, for she kept her heart’s
best impulses fresh and unfailing to
the last. Her life was tilled with sad
ness, and her heart no doubt hod times
of loneliness, hut she was always
cheerful and full of thanksgiving for
blessings left, lauding the goodness of
God in the gift of His Son, saying,
"Wo love Him because He first loved
us, and if God so loved us we also ought
to love one another,” appreciating her
Christian friends in the highest degree.
Letters of affectionate inquiry from
absent friends from all directions came
to her bedside when it was known she
was critically ill—one from a sweet lit
tle friend in Florida whom she loved so
much, asking, “Is there anything one
so far away can do for dear Miss Eu
genia?” To which the frail invalid re
plied, “Only her prayers.” To live in
hearts we leave behind is not to die.
The despoiling hand that strikes life’s
rose-garden is but the garnering angel
of the skies, and we will find again,
clad in greater beauty than before,
those that v,e loved so fondly and lost
awhile.
On a late afternoon of a lovely No
vember Sabbath the mortal part of this
departed saint was carried to the Cen
tral Baptist church the church of her
choice- and funeral services were con
ducted by Drs. Hardaway, (.'otter and
Stacy, which was meet for one whose
life of Christian service obliterated
denominational lines. The grand
tones of the organ pealed forth tri-
umphant notes, reminding one of
victor’s crowns, and this response
came to faith’s listening ear from
the flower-laden casket: “I have
fought a good light, i hnve finished my
course, 1 have kept the faith; hence
forth there is laid up for ine a crown
of righteousness.” Her pastor, whom
she accepted as one sent from God and
esteemed very highly in love for his
work’s sake, selected this appropriate
scripture for his funeral discourse;
‘‘Precious in the sight of the Lord is
the death of His saints.” Truly, this
was an occasion where the eulogist
need not falter for fear of saying too
much. Dr. Cotter’s touching invoca
tion was re-echoed by every heart that
loved her. aH he plead for heaven’s
choicest blessings on every one who
had in any way ministered to this as-
t ended saint, and was sail because she
was no longer with us. Dr. Stacy, a
long-time friend, was impressed by the
subject with St. John’s inspiration on
the I sle of Pat mos, vs hen ho exclaim d:
“I heard a voice from heaven saying
unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead
which die in the Lord from henceforth ;
yea, saitn the spirit, that they may
rest from their labors, and their works
do follow them.” He represented her
as acquitting herself nobly in all life’s
duties, and said, ”1 expect to meet
I Miss Genie again!” Then the many
I trained voices of the choir unite i in
singing the grand funeral anthem,

Boy Kills His Grandfather.
Franklin, Ga., Nov. 23. —W. S. Car
rington, a notary public and prominent
citizen of this county, well advanced in
years, was shot and killed by his 17-
year-old grandson, at the family home,
10 miles from Franklin yesterday.
The boy fled after the killing, but was
pursued by officials and captured this
morning. He was brought to Franklin
and lodged in jail.
Mr. Carrington was shot in the back
with a shotgun and instantly killed.
Y esterday morning, it is said, he pun
ished his grandson severely for some
minor offense. This is the only known
cause of the tragedy.
Freddie had been spending the day
with his aunt, and had been duly in
structed beforehand as to his behavior.
Upon his return his mother questioned
him as to what he had said and done
while away from home. His conduct
seemed to have been most exemplary
in every way.
"I’m glad you were such a good little
boy,” complimented his mother, “and
didn’t take a second helping of meat.”
“No, rna,” replied Freddie, very
proudly, “I remembered what you’d
told me, and said I’d take two plates of
ice cream instead.”
KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL.
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Newnan People Know How
to Save It.
Many Newnan people take their lives
in their hands by neglecting the kidneys
wh'-n they know these organs need help.
Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast
amount of suffering and ill health, but
there is no need to suffer nor to remain
in danger when all diseases and aches
and pains due to weak kidneys can he
quickly and permanently cured by the
use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here is a
Newnan citizen’s recommendation:

very highly of Doan’s Kidney Pills, and
' consider them an excellent remedy for

PURELY
VEGETABLE
U is a generally recognized fact that medicines taken
from tlie botanical kingdom are better adapted to the
delicate human system, and safer in every way, than
those composed of strong mineral mixtures,
In the early settlement of this land, our forefathers
were obliged to procure their medicines from Nature's
great laboratories of forest and field. They searched out
and compounded the different vegetable materials into
teas, concoctions and medicines. That these pioneers
found the most potent and valuable of the roots, herbs
and barks placed at their disposal, is abundantly proven
by the fact that the great majority of them were blessed
with rug-god health. They cured their diseases ami were
enabled to do the great preliminary work of civilization
because the remedies they used were Nature’s remedies,
and specially adapted to the needs of humanity.
Among the very best of these vegetable preparations is S. S. S., a medi
cine made entirely of roots, herbs and barks in such combination as to make
__ it the greatest of all blood purifiers ind
tlie finest of all tonics. S. S.S. does
not contain the least particle of min
eral in any form, and is absolutely a
safe medicine for anv one to use.
While purifying the blood this
great vegetable remedy builds up and
strengthens every portion of the sys
tem. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh. Sores and Ulcers, Malaria, Scrof
ula, Skin Diseases, Contagious Blood
Poison, hereditary taints, and all other
diseases and disorders caused by im
pure or polluted blood.
As a tonic S. S. S. is uncqalled. It
invigorates every portion of the system,
and the healthy blood it creates largely
assists in overcoming any derangement of tlie digestive system If you are
suffering from any blood trouble, or need a tonic to build up your consti
tution, yon could not do better than to take S. >S. R., a medicine that is in
no degree harmful. Book on the blood and any medical advice free.
