VOLUME X. GAINESVILLE. GA., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3. 1898 NUMBER 19 Btt£V-m3t£ SOME POLITICAL NOTES. MRS. PEARCE DEAD- Judge J. B. Estes j as t Saturday, and made a strong- i Democratic speech, lie was given close attention and was frequently enthus iastically cheered. Referring- to his >peech the Constitution of Sunday says: “Judge Estes spoke first, and was in troduced by J udge Chappell of the Lau rens county city court, in a very happy speech. Judge Chappell alluded to Judge Estes as a man who had always been true to his party and was a trust ed lieutenant of Colonel Candler in the campaign for the nomination. Judge Estes spoke from 11:30 until nearly 1 o’ -lock. The speech was well delivered an 1 attentively listened to. He re viewed the past history of the dem ocratic party, especially from the time just after the war. when it stood as a bulwark between the people of the south and unprincipled leaders from other sections. He told of the records made by such men as Smith, Brown and Colquitt, and how the state had pros pered under their administrations. Then he reviewed the inception of the Populists. The Farmer’s Alliance was a grand organization and was ap pealing for reforms which were needed, but leaders in that organization came to a road which forked, one leading to reform in democratic ranks and the other leading into a new political or ganization. They made the sad mistake of choosing the latter route and con sequently there have been strife and bitterness among us, where there should be a united phalanx against the com mon enemy, the republicans. The populist party has no hope for the fu ture. being dead as a state and national organization, and there was no excuse for trying to perpetuate it in Georgia. He eulogized the democratic nominee for governor denominating him as a man who had been true to the people in every exalted position for which he had been chosen. Judge Estes spoke at Hartwell today. He will take an active part in the cam paign and the State Executive Com mittee has made a number of dates for hitn already. spoke at Dublin The End Came Wednesday After noon.—Interment at Columbus The death of Mrs. Haywood J. Pearce, wife of Prof. H. J. Pearce associate president of tne Georgia Female Sem inary, cast a pall of gloom oyer the city, although her death had been ex pected for some days. Mrs. Pearce had an unusual long ill ness. She was confined to her bed for nearly ten weeks and she suffered much. All that medical skill could do was without avail and she finally suc cumbed to the grim reaper. Once or twice she rallied but suffered relapse, and Wednesday the end came. Mrs. Pearce was 24 years old and was the daughter of Mr. J. S. Matthews, city treasurer of Columbus. She mar ried Prof. H. J. Pearce in 1891, and her husband and four children survive her. She was a consistent member of the Methodist church, and was a wo man greatly admired and esteemed. Prof and Mrs. Pearce moved to Gaines ville several years ago, and have many friends in the city who are grieved at her death. t The remains were taken to Columbus on the early morning train Thursday for interment. Mr. and Mrs. Matthews were with their daughter during the last few weeks of her illness, being at her bedside at the time of her death. The friends of the families here and elsewhere extend them the greatest amount of sympathy in their bereave ment. Prof. A. W. VanHoose, Mrs. T.J. Pearce, Mr. and Mrs. J.S.Matthews and otners accompanied the remains to Co lumbus. J. G. Hynds Mfg.
