In Memoriam.
The Woman's Foreign Missionary So
ciety of Gainesville met at the Meth
odist church on Monday afternoon,
September 12th. and after expressing
their sorrow for the loss of Mrs. H. J.
Pearce, who entered into rest August
29th, 1898, requested that a committee
be appointed to prepare a suitable
memorial of her. While we feel incap
able of doing justice to her perfect
character, we would fain give our feeble
testimony to its great value as a model
to the young, a stimulus to the more
mature, and a benediction to the aged.
May God bless her memory to the good
of all who knew and loved her.
In this great big, beautiful world of
ours, we find sunshine and shadow,
joy and sorrow strangely commingled.
In the mad rush for fame, wealth and
pleasure, we sometimes forget that
heaven is beyond; then comes a shock—
we are startled—we pause, and hear a
voice crying, “Be still and behold the
work of the Lord! ’ We stop, and weep,
and wonder, and too often rebel.
Life with all its joys and possibilities
was before our beloyed sister, Mrs. H.
J. Pearc?, when the summons came,
“It is enough, come up higher, and
she entered into the Beautiful City
through the pearly gates to be forever
with the Lord. Just five years have
passed since she came to our little city
a fair young wife and mother, whose
pure, sweet face, gentle manners and
unobtrusive piety, won the hearts of
all who met her. As the honored wife
of Prof. H. J. Pearce of the Georgia
Female Seminary, her sphere of in
fluence was extended far beyond her
home and neighborhood. Many hearts
in distant homes have been, and will
be, saddened by the tidings that the
sweet smile of Mrs. Pearce will never
again beam upon them in sisterly affec
tion and sympathy. To them she was
a model of all that is noble in woman
hood. To tlie many friends who were
won by her sweetness and grace, each
day some admirable trait of character
drew them closer to her, and they
lehrned more fully to appreciate that
beautiful symmetry of soul, mind and
personal loveliness, that shed its subtle
permeating aroma on all within its in
fluence. But she has left us—the home
of her adoption shall know her no
more forever—the church that she
loved, the missionary society that she
adorned, will no more be blest by her
sweet presence, and we are sad. As
we think of our loss tears of sorrow
for ourselves and sympathy for the
bereaved ones of her family fall unre
strained. We cannot see why God's
hand should fall so heavily on those
who love Him, but, thanks be to our
Heavenly Father, we can trust His
wisdom and goodness to carry out His
will concerning us, and “we know that
all things work together for good to
them that love God.”
Wherefore, dear sorrowing ones, let
us try to yield her and ourselves en
tirely into God’s hands, exclaiming
from our hearts,
The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away.
Blessed be the name of the Lord !

Discovered By a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too by a lady of this
country. “Disease fastened its
clutches upon her and for seven years
she withstood its severest tests, but
her vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed incessantly, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered
a way to recovery, by purchasing of us
a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, and was so much re
lieved on taking the first dose, that she
slept all night; and with two bottles
has been absolutely cured. Her name
is Mrs. Luther Lutz. ’Thus writes W. C.
Hamrick Sc Co., of Shelby, X. C.,

Charmed with Gainesville.
Mrs. F. D. Wisdom, who was at the
Gainesville Chautauqua last summer,
writing to the Waco, (Tex.) Courier,
says :
Oft times I have promised myself the
pleasure of a chat with friends at home
through the columns of your interest
ing paper. While 1 have enjoyed scenes
and social communion with those who
have but recently come into my life, I
reluctantly set them aside to write you
of a visit made to the enterprising edu
cational city of Gainesville, nestling in
loved security amid the “Red Hills of
Georgia,” famed in history for the past
and present heroes, loved to-day for the
gallant men and lovely daughters who
have drunk deep at the Pyerian
Spring and through this channel glori
fying Old Hall until every soul that
breathes of the pure air of her historic
borders declare that nowhere has God
beeD so good in giving gifts that create
His people into the greatest and grand
est. So w hen the tidings came to me
that Gainesville was to have a Chau
tauqua, at which the brightest mental
gems that adorn the coronal of the
masterful Southerner’s mind should be
gathered, the temptation was too great
and sweetly alluring to forego.
To become the guest of the Arlington
hostelry, with the considerate proprie
tor, Mr. O'Neal, to look after one’s ma
terial wants, also to be complimented
with the position of sponsor for the
gifted “Kentucky Colonels” was an
“open sesame” for the royally good
things which were to be enjoyed by me.
Bishop Candler, whose Christian char
acter and peerless intellect is appre
ciated frern the St. Lawrence to the
gulf, is here. In his footsteps came
Dr. Landrum, the magnetic, and Col.
H. W. J. Ham, who has been heard fre
quently by many of the Lone Star res
idents.
Miss Gaston, a most accomplished
young lady of Gainesville, added a
charm to the feast by the rendition of
several songs, all of which were sung
in a splendid voice. The smiles play
around my lips as I recall the finished
elocutionist, Miss McAfee. To hear
her and not be happy is a physical im
possibility.
Through all these edifying features,
the glorious, exquisite singing of the
Kentucky Colonels was the sweetest
and best. For the pleasure of listen
ing to the divine melody which ema
nated from the throats of Messrs. I ogg,
Browne, Meek and Flora, the people
of this section are indebted to Profs.
Van Hoose and Pearce, the presidents
of the Georgia Female Seminary and
Conservatory of Music.
It would be impossible for me to point
to a Mecea of the mind where more
good can come, or sweeter joy be had
than at Gainesville, the pride of North
Georgia.
You think he has changed—he never
was so sour tempered, cross and irrita

of Mr. H. W. Rich on Bradford street

here from California where he had been
in business. Mr. Parker was a brother
of Mrs. Rich and was a native of New
Haven. Connecticut. His death was
very sudden and was a great surprise.
The funeral services were held from
the residence of Mr. Rich Monday

It is Just as Important
That you enrich and purify your blood
in the Fall as in the Spring. At this
time, owing to decaying vegetation, a
low water level, and other causes,
^here are disease germs all about us,
and a weak and debilitated system
quickly yields to attacks of malaria, fe
vers, etc. By purifying and enriching
your blood with Hood's Sarsaparilla
you may build up your system to resist
these dangers, as well as coughs,
colds, pneumonia and the grip which
comes with colder weather. To be on
the safe side, take Hood's Sarsaparilla
now, and always be sure it is Hood's
and not something represented to be
“just as good.”
