'Since the middle of July my
health has been such as to
render me utterly unable to
keep up the regular publica¬
tion of The Jimplecute,
much to my regret and finan¬
cial loss. However, I now
feel safe in promising the
patrons of the paper that it
will appear regularly hereafter
and I earnestly trust; that each
of you will look upon the sus¬
pension the last two months
from a liberal standpoint, and
that this unavoidable discrep¬
ancy has in no way impaired
your loyal support and gener¬
ous interest in our efforts to
furnish the people of Murray
county a clean sheet filled
with live local news and pure
reading matter at all times.
Respectfully,
J. C. Heartjsell.
In Memoriam.
On the 14th day of August,
the patient spirit of Mrs. Julia
E. Jones bade farewell to its
frail tenement of clay and took
its flight to the abode of the
Father who gave it. For
more than half a century she
had been upon a be 1 of afflic¬
tion but, with the comforts
possible to give by a thought¬
ful husband and. iindulgent
friends, she bore the racking
pains and tormenting incon¬
veniences of enforced confine
ment with the philosophy of a
stoic and the fortitude of the
true Christian that she was.
When the casket was borne
from the hearse to its narrow
place in the cemetery on the
hill not one of the large throng
of sorrowing friends present
but dropped a tear of genuine
pity for the gray-haired con¬
sort weeping at her bier,
A FRIEND.
Many personal items have
been crowded out of this issue
by the court proceedings.
HERE’S SOMETHING
WORTH READING.
Prepared Especially for the Jimplecute’s
Appreciated Friends.
At a conference of the Bap¬
tist church membership here
Sunday Rev. J. P. Stokes was
chosen to serve that denofni
nation as pastor for next year.
At their regular meeting
here Roads Tuesday the Board of
and Revenues levied a
tax of 45 cents pei $100 for
county and 10 cents per $100
for road purposes. These
amounts combined with the
State tax make a net levy of
$1.10 per $100.
Drs. Gordon and McAffee
. came over from Dalton last
Thursday and met in consul¬
tation with Dr. J. B. Hughes
in the case of J. L. McHan’s
young son, who is suffering
from blood poison, or some
similar complaint. They cut
an incision in his abdomen
from which a large quantity
of pus was taken, and the pa¬
tient is apparently ranch im¬
proved since the operation
To my customers : 1 have
moved into the store vacated
by the posoffice and, having
increased my stock, am better
prepared to serve you than
ever. A continuance of your
trade is solicited. I now have
a splendid Soda Fountain and

freshing fountain beverages.

Superintendent Boyd, of the

talc mines and the output of
stone will no doubt be much
greater than ever very soon.
