J ficrald and jFJdwrtiser. NEWNAN, FRIDAY, DEC. 3 . o HZ DOLLAK A YEAK. 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, “The Chtistian’s Good-Night: Resolutions of Respect.

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: ; William T. Lazenby, G4 Wesley street, Newnan. Ga.. says: “I think very highly of Doan’s Kidney Pills, and ' consider them an excellent remedy for j kidney complaint. Before using them, S 1 had suffered from kidney trouble for | several years, during which time ! | tried many remedies without receiving any benefit. My back ached a great and I was always annoyed by too fre- I quent. pa-soges of the kidney socre- i tions.

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.
