On Friday morning, August BOth 1901, just before the beauti ful sun rose to glorify this earth, thusoul of Mrs. Fannje Gilbert Heard crossed over the river of Heath to glorify the beautiful Land on the other shore. The departure was very, very bitter to us, but the landing was so beauti ful to the Angels of the Celestial City. They met her singing songs of praise,bedecked her brow with a golden crown, and now she sits in Glory, on the right, hand of the throne. ^ While the disease was so tfile in nature as to baffle the skill of an excellent physician, she bore her intense suffering with immeasure- able patience, displaying, as it were, submission with a great de gree of magnitude. Her death was a shock to her friends, —almost like an accident— a3 we did not apprehend the se verity of htr illness until a short period before she died. Mrs. Heard was the youngest daughter of Mrs. Mariah Gilbert of Perry, and of the late Hr. J. C. Gilbert of this county. She was born, reared and educated in Houston county. Had she lived until February she would have been 84 years of age. About fif teen years ago, she joined the Houston Factory Baptist church, and she lived the life of a Chris tian. On Hec. 18th 1889, she was mar ried to Mr. Virgil E. Heard, eld est son of Mr. J. M. Heard, and of this union were born six chil dren, four boys and two girls, one son and daughter having gone be fore. As a wife, Mrs. Heard was devoted, affectionate, and a com panion in the purest and truest meaning of the phrase; she was 'ever ready to comfort and cherish her husband in his bitterest advert sity. As a mother, she was pa tient, kind and loving, filling a mother’s chair with the dignity becoming to any mother. Her chief purpose in life was to make noble men and women out of her children. The influence she wield ed over them would have produc ed such. As a daughter, she was obedient subservient, compliant, always displaying a desire to be submis sive to the control of her parents. She held her mother in the high est esteem, true-filial esjbeem. As a sister, she was thoughtful, un selfish, unfeigned and she loved her brothers and sisters with gen uine sisterly love. As a neigh bor, she was benign, benevolent, honest and kind. She possessed nothing too good for her neigh bors^ she was attentive to the sick, being a splendid nurse in the sickroom. As a member of the church, she possessed every evidence of a Christian. It was a great delight to her to .perform beneficent deeds.' Her daily walk in life was such as to warrant us to feel that she is in perfect bliss, which should be a great consolation to those who mourn and are grieved. We realize that her vacancy can never be filled again; we feel that we are almost stricken down with unutterable grief , yet we re member Him whose will must be done. We, as humans, have not the power to comfort the bereaved husband, children, mother, broth- and sisters, relatives and ers friends, but God has, and may He cause them to see that it is for the best. A Neighbor, G. T. H. Heard, Ga., Sept. 17th, 1901. —Farmers are having less troub le in securing enough labor to pick cotton than was the case in cultivating the crops.

Cheek, about six miles west of Perry. Sheriff Cooper sent an officer out to arrest the accnsed, and Coroner Schilling went out to hold an inquest. The testimony at the inquest was that James Taylor and John Martin quarreled about a pencil, and that inside the house a gun was discharged, and Martin wis killed. Taylor admitted that he shot deceased, but claimed that the act was in self-defence, that Mar tin was advancing upon him with a hatchet in his hand, when the fatal shot was fired. The shot took effect in the right side of the face. The verdict of the jury declares that “John Martin came to his death by a gun shot wound by James Taylor, alias Cossett Tay lor, and we find it murder.” n Taylor was arrested and brought to Perry by W. A. Andrews, spec ial deputy, and was placed in jail to await investigation by the grand jury, under a coroner’s war- rent. f YSf —Elsewhere in this paper ap pears the advertisement of a for mer citizen and merchant of Per ry, Mr. Max Zarks.
