TAYLOR & PEEK DRUG CO.., MACON, GA. Death of Mr. Wellons. Last Sunday morning, just as the darkness of night was giving place to the light of a new day, the soul of Mr. E. Shelley Wel lons passed from time to eternity, at his home in Perry. About four weeks ago he was prostrated by an attack of bilious lagrippe, and . gradually grew weaker until death came. At the Perry Baptist church the funeral service, beginning at 8:80 Monday afternoon, was conducted by Rev.- J. 0. Brewton ©LCordele, formerly pastor of this church. He preached an impressive and com forting sermon from a double text; “Blessed are they who die in the Lord,—To die is Gain.” The floral offerings were many, and very beautiful. Every seat in the church was occupied. Rev. W. J. Holtzclaw, pastor of the church, was unavoidably absent, attending a Convention in Atlan ta. As a mark of special honor, and respect, the teachers and pupils of Perry Public School attended the’ funeral in a body. The burial was in Evergreen Cemetery Monday afternoon, at tended by the family, other rel atives and friends from all sec tions of the county. He was born in Crawford coun ty fifty-one years ago, was married to Miss N. L. Blewster on Jan uary 26,1861, and about that time he became a citizen of Houston county. For several years he taught school. Afterwards he was elected clerk of Houston Su perior Court, and was 8 times re elected. Then he served several terms as County School Commis sioner. At the time of his death, he was a deacon of the Perry Bap tist church, an alderman of Perry, and a member of the Perry Board of education. A man of considerable native talent and acquired knowledge, he was firm in his convictions, true and faithfhlto every duty, assum ed or imposed. Mr. Wellons was a true man in every respect, doing at all times that which he belived to be right, a Christian, an active and progressive citizen, a good neighbor, a steadfast friend. A truly good man has been call ed to his eternal reward. The bereaved family consists of the devoted wife, two sons and five daughters; and then the aged mother and three sisters. To these the tenderest ympathy of their many friends is sincerely extended. Death Of Mr. Barker. Kunz—Digsby. Last Friday, January 25th, Mr. William M.
