Mrs. Emma CL Starbuck, wife of Mr. B. P. Staf^|pck, died at their home near Perry Wednesday morn ing, December 11th, 1901. She had been sick several days, but was thought to be recovering when she was stricken with paralysis early that morning. The burial was in Evergreen cem etery Thursday afternogn, attended by a large number of friends. Mrs.- Starbuck came to Houston county with her husband and family in December, 1896, and since then had made friends of all who became acquainted. She was an exemplary member of the Methodist church, a woman true and kind in all things. The bereaved family, husband, two sons and a daughter, are her only relatives in Georgia, and with these their many friends here sin cerely sympathize. Below is a memorial written by her pastor, who performed the buri al ceremony: Mrs. Emma Coleman Starbuck was born in East Hampton, Maas., July 19th, 1849, was married to Bailey Starbuck in Knox county, Mo., May 11th, 1879, and died at their home in Houston county, Ga., near Perry, December 11th, 1901. Sister Starbuck was converted and oined the Methodist church in early ife. To her church vows she was ever faithful. She was indeed and in truth devoted to her home and her home duties. Hor husband and children have lost, a faithful wife and a loving mother. While absent from the body she is present with her Lord. Yonder in those bright mansions above, where death never enters, and sufferings are no more, she is safe at home. May the loved ones left behind be faithful to the end, in order that they may havo a reunion in that City whose Maker and Builder is God. B. E. Whittington. io, Sold by II. 35, 50 Cents ids M.

Mr. Zack Hays, who was appoint ed by the governor to represent Houston county in the good roads convention held in Atlanta last week, reports that he was well pleased with that system of working the public roods. Mr. Hays is an all round practical man and a splen did financier. He was once a mem her of the board of county commis sioners of Houston, and being in charge of the public roads worked by the ehaingaDg for eight months by his good judgment and economy reduced the expenses incurred from the chaingang about three hundred dollars per month. No doubt he re ceived a deserved compliment from the governor. Mr. W. E. Warren will soon have his new residence ready to move in to, which will be quite an addition to Powersville. Miss Dora Hancock, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Hancock, and young Mr. McGee, of Bibb county, were married Tuesday, Deo 10th. Not being informed ofothe particulars of the marriage, we are unable to give a report. We learn that Rev. Isaiah Grant of Knoxville performed the ceremony. However, we must say, knowing Miss Han cock as well as we do, that she is ca pacitated and worthy to adorn any man’s home, and we congratulate Mr. McGee on winning the prize. Messrs. Shade Farr and Warren Myers, our neighbors, will move down to the oaky woods next week, on the lands of Mr. A. H. Tharp. They say they are going where they can make the fleecy staple. Furman Cliett, who has been at tending the business college at Co lumbus, Ga., since last spring, has come home to spend the holidays with home folks.

The parlor was tastefully decora ted with evergreens and other orna ments, and at the appointed hour the door was opened and the brides maids, Misses Laura and Fannie Da vidson, entered the parlor, followed by the bride and groom, the latter halting at the spot assigned them. Then Rev. Isaiah Grant, of near Knoxville, performed the ceremony in a most excellent and well-worded manner, and the solemn vows were taken which made the two hearts beat as one. After congratulations the young couple and the invited guests were summoned to the dining room to partake of one of the most excellent suppers ever prepared for such an occasion. The groom is a popular and pros perous young farmer of Crawford county, and Bhoutd be congratulated on his ability and success in win ning so fair a bride, while the bride is one of the most estimable young ladies of our community, and her friends are numbered by her ac quaintances. Her many friends of this community and county regret very much to give hor up, but that is Houston’s loss and Crawford's gain.
