A Remarkable Woman.
Coweta county has lost one of her
mdistinguished women in the death
o_ ..no. Li. A. Jones, who passed- away
at her home near Newnan on Feb. 20,
in the 88th year .of her age. Sister
Jones was born in Wilkes county, and
had been a Baptist for about 70 years.
She was devoted to her church, and her
bible waB her companion; and next! to
it was The Christian Index, of which
she had been a reader for more than
forty years. She was the mother of
Hon. J. P. Jones, of Newnan, and
grandmother "of Dr. Willis Jones, of
Atlanta. Her remains were shipped
to Atlanta and interred in the family
lot in Oakland cemetery. The funeral
services were conducted by her former
pastor, Rev. W. W. Roop, of Carrollton
Christian Index.
The above tribute, trite as it is true,
yet falls short of what is due to the
memory of this remarkable woman,
Age did not dim her bright intellect,
Almost to the day of her death she
took a keen interest in public affairs,
and was outspoken in her views upon
all questions. A year or so before her
death she met with an unfortunate ac
cident, as a result of which the latter
months of her life were passed either
in bed or in an invalid chair; but (she
never lost the spirit which had in for
mer years made her so entertaining aB
a companion or so lovable as a friend.
She was, indeed, a remarkable woman.

House, of this city, stole a march on

weeks ago and getting married. The
event occurred the latter part of Janu
ary, but the young couple kept their
Becret so well that the fact of their
marriage did not become known until
the past week. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. T. M. Elliott, pas
tor of Lovejoy Memorial church.

Bowden-Moses.
The most brilliant event of the sea
son in Turin was the wedding of Miss
George Bowden and Mr. Richard Tal-
mage Moses, which took place on Tues
day, Feb. 22, in the Baptist church, at
high noon. Dr. S. B. CouBins, of Luth
erville, performed the ceremony in a
very impressive manner.
The church was a perfect bower of
Southern smilax, white carnations and
bride roseB. Cathedral candles and
white carnations were placed among
the large palms and ferns that formet
a background for the wedding party.
On each side of thiB were ■pall white
columns twined with smilax, with large
candelabra holding cathedral candles at
the top. Just a few feet in front of
this background of palms and ferns
was an altar rail twined ’ with smilax
and roses, and with candles all along
the top. Leading to the altar along the
church aiBlps were improvised pergolas
covered with smilax and roses, and with,
numbers of candles overhead. MrB.
Hardy Avery, of College Park, sang
“O Promise Me,” just before the bridal
party entered to the strains of Lohen
grin’s “Bridal Chorus,” played by
Miss Stella Wadsworth, of, Newnan.

Kilmer’s Swamp Root. About eleven
years ago I had a severe attack of La

obout eight weeks under the doctor’s

treatment I should have received, I de

ing several bottles of Swamp-Root I
was able to get up and attend to my

was affected with a severe attack of
kidney trouble and doctored for some
time with the doctors and received no
benefit. Knowing of the good I had
received, he decided to try Swamp-
Root. His condition was such that he
was confined to bis bed and words can
