MRS. S. 8. BREWER BEAD.
A Noble Woman Has Gone From
our Midst to Dwell Etern
ally with God
The following notice of the death of
Mrs. Annie Lallatte Brewer will be
read with .sadness by her former friends
in Gainesville. She was a daughter of
Dr C. B. Lull a ite who once resided
here. The Gainesville friends' of the
family extend sincerestsympathy. The
notice in the Elbert on Star is as fol
lows: East Saturday niyht. 311st as the
clock rang out the hour of eleven, the
pure sweet spirit oi Mrs. StaiKe Brewer
took its flight from earth to heaven.
Although for long and weary months
she suffered from a painful disease,
which resulted m total blindness for
nearly a year, she was patient and re
signed throughout her long and tedious
Illness. Her friends entertained but
little hope for her recovery xrom the
first of her illness, but through the
constant and tender ministrations of a
devoted husband and loving relatives
and friends, everything possible
through human agency was done for
her relief and restoration, but all to no
avail.
Mrs. Brewer was a woman far above
the ordinary woman, intellectually.
Her mind, when in health, was clear
and vigorous, with a pleasing aim poet
ical tendency that made her a most
charming companion and an ornament
to society. She not only possessed rare
natural gifts but she was highly cul
tured and her sweet and gentle woman
liness won many hearts. Mrs. Brewer
was a consistent memoer oi the Meth
odist church aud a true Christian. Her
parents, Professor and Mrs. LaHatte,
were with her at the time of her death.
She was laid to rest in the beautiful
‘‘city of the silent”—the Elberton cem
etery—and loving hands w ivathed
beautiful floral offerings to place upon
her resting place. Those will fade but
the memory of her many kindly deeds
and noble sacrifices will remain forever
as sweet immortelles in the hearts of
those who love her. The funeral ser
vices were conducted by her pastor,
Rev. B. F. Fraser, last Monday at 11
o’clock. She leaves a devoted husband
and two little sons, parents, sisters
and brothers, and a host of friends to
mourn the departure of this true good
woman. To all we tender our sincere
sympathies and trust that He who
alone can bind up the broken hearts
and cheer the bereaved homes and
lives will sustain and grant the com
fort that they need.
All those who have applied for mem-
irship to the Methodist cnurch will be
iceived into tne church Sunday morn-
g at the 11:30 o'clock service. Those
ho have never been baptized will
ten be baptized.
A Fine Pipe Organ.
For sometime the members of the
irst Baptist church have been consid-
•ing the question of buying a new or-
m. The committee appointed made
s report last Sunday and it was decid-
1 to put in a handsome pipe organ,
subscription was taken and $530 was
used in a few moments, a committee
sing appointed to solicit the remain-
sr necessary, $220. The organ will be
$1,000 instrument, but the company
as agreed to put it in for $750. The
lurch is a strong one and has an active
lembership.

Queen City Coffee.
Many Gainesville people will be sur
prised to know that 25,000 pounds of
coffee is put up and sold by one con
cern in this city every year. It is a
special coffee retailed by the J. G.
Hynds Manufacturing company to their
customers and it is a superior article,
it is said, to either Arbuckles or Lever-
ing’s. It was introduced into this sec
tion about one year ago by the company
and its sales is increasing every month.
The green coffee is bought in large
quantities and is roasted by a concern
in New York with whom the company
has an arrongement. Next it is put up
in packages and retails for twelve and
a half cents per pound. It is handled
by nearly every merchant in this terri
tory and its sale is increasing rapidly.
When the children have earache,
warm a few drops of Dr. J. H. McLean’s
Volcanic Oil Liniment on a teaspoon
and drop it into the ear. The effect
will be magical, it stops the pain in
stantly. Price 25c, 50c and $1 a bottle.

Col. H. W. J. Ham was at home Wed
nesday but was called back to New
Orleans to fill another week of lecture
engagements. He is kept busy all
the time and has many engagements
through the summer. Col. Ham will
lecture here on Monday night, May
2nd, for the benefit of the Gainesville
lodge of Odd Fellows, and will give his

Revival Closed.
The revival at the First Methodist
church closed Tuesday afternoon after
having gone on for nearly three weeks.
It was a great meeting and the church
was greatly revived. Fifty-two new
members were added to the church
roll. Revs. Stanton and Little are
able, earnest workers and endeared
themselves to the church by their Chris
tian help. Pastor J. M. White is great
ly rejoiced over the outcome of the
meeting.
* Tax Notice.
I will be at Gainesville May 3rd and
4th for the purpose of receiving Tax

Will Give a Show.
Stephenson Lodge No. 26 Knights of
Pythias has organized a uniform di
vision and will give an entertainment
in a few days for the purpose of secur
ing funds to equip the company. An
expose of the secret work of the “An
cient Order of Hercules” is the title of
the play and we are assured by the
promoters of the snow that it is more
laughable than even the “village
school” which was given before a well
pleased crowd a few weeks ago. The
program will be very entertaining and
will include a number of choice musi
cal selections, both vocal and instru
mental. This entertainment will be
followed shortly by an excursion to
Tallulah Falls by the K. P's.
One Fare Round Trip.
The railroads have given a rate of
one fare round trip to .the Ben Hur
entertainment in Atlanta, given by the
Daughters of the Confederacy for the
Confederate reunion to be held in July.
Four performances were to have been
given, one Thursday night, one to-night
and matinee this afternoon and to
night. It is a worthy cause, and hun
dreds will attend.

Rev. J. R. DeLong, pastor of the

menced a protracted meeting last Sun
day which will probably continue sev
eral days. Much interest is being

A NEW TRIUMPH.
The Dreaded Consumption Can
Be Cured.
T. A. Slocum, the Great Chemist and
Scientist, will Send to Sufferers
Three Free Bottles of His Newly
Discovered Remedies to
Cure Consumption and
all Lung Troubles.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan
thropic or carry more joy to the afflict
ed than the generous offer of the hon
ored and distinguished chemist, T. A.
Slocum, M. C., of New York City.
He has discovered a reliable and
absolute cure* for consumption and all
bronchial, throat, lung and chest dis
eases, catarrhal affections, general
decline and weakness, loss of flesh and
all conditions of wasting away; and to
make its great merits known, we will
send three free bottles of his newly
discovered remedies to any afflicted
reader of The Georgia Cracker.
Already his “new scientific system of
medicine” has permanently cured
thousands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it not only his
professional, but his religious duty—a
duty which he owes to suffering human
ity—to donate his infalible cure.
He has proved the “dreaded con
sumption” to be a curable disease be
yond a doubt, m any climate, and has
on file in his American and European
laboratories thousands of “heartfelt
testimonials of gratitude” from those
benefited.
Catarrhal and pulmonary troubles
lead to consumption, and consumption
uninterrupted, means speedy and cer
tain death. Don't delay until it is too
late. Simply write T. A. Slocum, M.
C.. 98 Pine street, New York, giving ex
press and post-office address, and the
free medicine will be promptly sent.
Please tell the Doctor you saw his offer
in The Georgia Cracker.
