Mrs. Martha J. Avanfc, widow
of the late Mr. B. F. Avant, died
a,t her home in Perry last Sundav,
after an illness of about two
weeks.
The burial was in Evergreen
Cemetery Monday morning, at
tended by relatives and a large
number of friends.
She was a sister of Mr. John B.
Hunt, of near Heard,and another
brother, Mr. G. W. Hunt of La-
Grange, attended the funeral.
She was born, (Miss Martha
Jane Hunt) in Carroll County,
Ga., on November 22nd, 1841, but
the greater portion of her early
life was spent in Lee County, Ala.
She was married in 1858 to Mr. B.
F. Avant, and/after this they liv
ed in Houston County. Of that
marriage there was one daughter,
and surviving that daughter are a
son and daughter, Mr. Frank Gad
dy, and Mrs. G. W. Winn.
Since early girlhood Mrs. Av
ant has been a consistent member
of the Methodist church, and
those who knew her best say no
bptter woman ever lived in Perry.
In all that goes to make a true
Christian woman she excelled.
The knowledge of her true and
worthy life is a rich heritage to
those who loved her.
Her reward must be an eternity
of peace and joy.
Her many friends 4 sincerely
sympathise with the bereaved rel
atives.
Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Wmn re
quest us to express their heart
felt thanks and lasting gratitude
to the ladies who so tenderly min
istered to their.grand-mother du
ring her last illness, and to oth
ers who kindly rendered friendly
service.

At 2-o’clock last Saturday af
ternoon Mr. John Wesley Taylor
died at his home at Kathleen. He
Lad been in declining health two
years or more, and for 8 npnths
he had been confined to his room.
The burial was at Kathleen
Sunday afternoon. A number of
his friends -at Perry have express
ed regret that they were pot in
formed in time for them to attend
the burial.
Mr. Taylor was bom in Hous
ton county about 64 years ago,
and with the exception of a few
years in Macon, his entire life was
spent in this county.
For twenty-five years or more
he was an exemplary member of
the Primative Baptist church, and
his life was in accord with his pro
fessions.
Though married in early life
there is but one offspring, a son,
Mr. James David Taylor, of near
Dennard.
The wife, so long a companion
and help-mate, survives him.
Mr. Taylor was a man of posi
tive convictions, and was active
and earnest in all public affairs.
Though never an office seeker, he
was always a factor in politics,
and his friendship was ever earn
est and positive.
He was indeed a good man and
true, and the impress of his earn
est advice and positive actioru-has
ever been felt in the neighborhood
of his residence and throughout
the county.
The physical burden has been
lifted by the Almighty hand, and
a good man called to his eternal
home. .
The bereaved widow, son and
other relatives have the sincere
sympathy of their many friends.

—Mr. S. Bonner has 50 acres of
corn on his Halliburton place
near Tivola that will serve as an
object lesson to Houston farmers.
The corn was planted in rows 3£
feet wide, without manure. From
all appearances the ear3 are as
good as most corn in Houston,
though the land contains twice as
many stalks per acre as the usual
Houston crop. The corn has
been cut down and shocked in the
field, making a situation similar
to that of “Carter’s oats.” Mr.
Bonner will later furnish for pub
lication a report of his method of
preparation and cultivation.
—A two-horse wagon belonging
to Mr. J. Powers Cooper brought
97 cotton baskets to Perry last

has been about equeal to the de
mand. Baskets in considerable
numbers are brought here every
Saturday.
—Mr. Frank Hickson of near
Heard informs us that he owns a

ter 27 days this summer. The hog
fell in a dry well on the 3rd Sun
day in July, and was taken out
27 days later.
