Death Of Mr. John Houston.
Mr. John Houston died last
Friday morning at Milludgeville,
where he was under treatment at
a private Sanitarium.
The body was brought to Perry
Saturday morning, and the fu
neral services were conducted at
the Methodist church, Rev. J. W.
Simmons, the pastor,.taking the
livg and character of the deceased,
a true man of God, as the text of
his discourse. The pall bearers
were the stewards of the Perry
Methodist church. The burial
was in Evergreen * Cemetery, di
rectly after the conclusion of the
services at the church.
Mr. Houston hadbeen in failing
health for about two years, and
was about 74 years old.
He was born in Londondery,
Ireland, in May 1828, and came
to Georgia in 1850, locating at
Savannah, where he was for near
ly half a century a prominent
and successful merchant. For 50
years, ho was a stewardfof Trinity
Methodist church in that city, en
joying the fullest confidence and
love of that church and his host
of friends in that city.
Mr. Hbuston was twice married,
and after the death of his young
est daughter ho came to Perry,
nearly three years ago, to live
with his daughter, Mrs. F. M.
Houser.
Ho waB a devoutly pious man,
and was ever zealous in the per
formance of Christian duty. His
Christian spirit was so apparent in
word and t aot, that all who came
in contract with him were con
strained to accord him true aifec-
tiop.
In the fullest sense he was a
truely good man, and he has but
been called to the eternal reward
of the righteous. The memory of
his example here is truly a price
less heritage to the loved ones
from whom he has been taken.
Surviving him he leaves only
one daughter, Mrs. F. M. Hous
er, of Perry, several grand-chil
dren and one great grand-child.
With the bereaved ones their
many friends sincerely sympa
thise, joining them in their loving
sorrow.

cial to the pupils,, inducing them

The following item giving no
tice of Houston thrift is gladly
reproduced from the Macon Tele
graph : |
“A couple of two horse wagons
loaded with fine, fat hogs were
brought in from Elko, in Houston
county, forty miles below Macon,
yesterday, (Friday,) and unload
ed at a butcher stall. They were
raised by Mr. Walter Means, one
of Houston’s most prominent
farmers.
“It is said that hogs have flour
ished during the past year, and a i
great maDy people have devoted i
attention to raising them. The
bringing of the two loads so far
through the country reminded
the old timers of the good old
days now gone.” |
The Home Journal editor can
remember that in his boyhood
days evory winter large droves of
Tennessee and Kentucky hogs
were driven into Houston and sold
to our farmers, who converted
them into bacon.
Now it is recognized as a fact
that prosperity on the farm will
not come through the sale of cot
ton alone. It is absolutely nec
essary that farmers must not buy
prodnctsthat can be raised on the
farm ;they must sell.
