the memory of our beloved friend,
Samuel L. Faver. I congratulate
the man who gave the movement
birth and am sure the work will be
an easy task; for if everyone who
has felt the warhith of his out
stretched hand, in good deeds,
kind words and generous charity,
will bring a contribution [however
small] a fitting shaft will soon
mark his resting placQ."
IN MEMORIAM
Died, in great peace, Feb. .13,
Mrs. Mary Leigh, beloved wife of
Capt. Thos. Leigh. She was the
sixth child of a family of twelve
born to Mr. and Mrs. James Brew
ster, and nobly did she repay all
parental care.
For sixty-seven years she bless
ed her family and friends, for
which we thank the Giver of all
good gifts. She was a woman ot
deep convictions, inflexible in her
ideas of justice, and loyal to duty
in the highest sense,
In early life, she united with the
Methodist church, and truly did
she walk in white, clothed upon
with chastity of soul. To sick and
distressed, she was truly an angel
of mercy—no hour being too un-
propitious for her ministrations to
ihe suffering.
We loved her when we sported
together in the care-free days of
Whitesburg
Rev. J. W. McLeod preached at
the Baptist church last Sunday to

for the past two months, returned
home last week. His friends are

DR. TUCKER CLEAR* t OF CRIMINAL
CHARGE
Hogansville, Ga., March 19.—
Dr. J. Mi' Tucker, formerly an At-
lantian, who recently opened
sanitarium at Dublin, and was
some two weeks ago arrested in
Dublin on a warrant sworn out in
Hogansville, charging the doctor
with malpractice, was Saturday
placed on trial in Hogansville be
fore R. A. Utting, justice of the
peace.
The prosecutor did not appear
in the case to substantiate the
charges, and the doctor was turned
loose.
Dr. Tucker is prominently con
nected with some of the best fam
ilies of Troup county, and has a
ereat many friends in his old home
town.
J. W. Hill, who swore out the
warrant against the doctor, made
an unsuccessful attempt at suicide
a few days before the preliminary
trial.
PICNIC APRIL 29TH.

W. G. Camp and P. T. McCutch-

forted each other in the gloom of.
affliction and death. The tendrils 1
ot our affection were lastingly en-;
twined. In her shining foot
prints, we will continue to walk,
till we clasp hands, some sweet
day, on Beuiah’s sinless shore.
Her purity, steadfastness and
uniform benevolence are cherished
memories of this mother in Israel.
Whenever duty whispered “Thou
Must," her courageous heart re
plied “I can;" her faith was made
whole with deed.
To give was her delight, and j
hundreds will gladly testify of her
bounteous hospitality. She honor
ed her husband, cherished her
children and was loyalty itself to a
large circle of friends. She was a
tower of strength to her husband
and a foudtain of loving sympathy
to her children, grandchildren and
friends.
Three beloved daughters pre
ceded her to the Saint’s Rest, and
she is survived by three children
—Mrs. Thos. Sanders, Mr. Walter
Leigh and Mr. James Leigh. May
the virtues she instilled into their
hearts bear fruit to her praise and
to their salvation. May the
loved little grand-daughter, be
queathed by a dying mother, fill
nobly the gracious sphere of the
deceased.
The tenderest words of our
language are meet tribute to this
lamented wife, mother, neighbor
and friend.
Gifted with a comely personality,
she was blessed also with a well-
cultured mind, a hopeful, cheery
disposition, and the genuine
man’s love for her husband, chil
dren, home, church and friends.
Could each charitable, neighborly
deed have been converted into a
flower, she would have slept be
neath a wondrously beautiful
mound of nature’s sweetest
blooms. Such spirits cannot die;
they but pass into larger spheres
of usefulness, and bequeath for
our comfort David’s deathless
strain of Christian triumph—“She |
