News of the death of Mrs. Baxter
RagHdale, which occurred in Atlunta
last week, was received with deep re-
prat by her many friends in this com
munity, where she was reared and
where many years of her life were
spent. Her husband died several years
apo, since which time she had made her
home mainly with several children re
siding in Atlanta. She was a devoted
member of the Baptist church, an af
fectionate wife and mother, and held in
high esteem by all who knew her. The
bereaved children have our deepest
sympathy in their htilictinn.
We were agreeably surprised by a
visit one day last week from our old
friend. Mr. Jas. Williams, id' Spalding

days were pone over, and scenes of the

life’s battles are o’er.

It is with genuine sorrow that we
chronicle the death of Mrs. Lee Jacobs,
whose illness has been mentioned in

lowing a stroke of puralysis which pros
trated her several months sgo. She
Ixire her affliction with Christian forti
tude, serene in the faith that ultimate
redemption from earthly ills can come
only through sacrifice and suffering.
She was a consistent member of the
Methodist church, and widely esteemed
for her fine womanly traits. She leaves
a husband, two sons and two daugh
ters, besides numerous other relatives,
who have the sympathy of the entire
community in their bereavement. The
