Since the resignation of Prof. Bagwell, it has been purely a matter of speculation as to who would bo the successful contestant for this very honorable position. The people of Lawrenceville and community should be highly elated at the selection of the Board in securing Prof. Ware’s services. As an instructor, be has greatly shown his real worth since his connec tion with the city school at Winder, and it is with great reluctance that the people of Winder give him up. Mr. Ware enterod the University of Georgia in the fall of 1894, where he completed his Sophomore year. After this he finished the two remaining years at Mercer University, where he was one of the foremost men of his class.

Our town and community is shrouded iu the deepest gloom and sndness over the very sudden and unexpected death of Dr. J. C. Har ris, which oocurred Saturday eve ning about 5:80 o’clock. Ho ap peared to be be as well as usual that morning, partook of a hearty dinner at Dr. Little’s, by special invitation, drove out to see a pa tient in the afternoon, returning at five o’clock, and w»s a corpse thirty minutes later, He was buried teday (Monday) with Ma sonic houqrs, conducted by Dr. J. \V. Osliu, of Gainesville, wit nessed by a large concourse of his friends and relatives. Dr. Harris was iu the prime of life, being at his death 46 years of age, and his unexpected demise was a great shock to his friends, as well as his immediate family. He leaves a wife and six little children to mourn his untimely end. He was living with his sec ond wife, who was a Miss Brogdon; his first wife, who was a Miss Born, preceded him to the grave about eight years. Dr. Harris enjoyed a large and lucrative prac tice, was eminently successful and universally popular among all classes, which will make his place a hard one to fill. His death leaves an opening lor a first-class physician, who will find it ex tremely difficult to gain the con fidence and good will of the peo ple enjoyed by Dr. Harris. He was liberal with his means, charitable and ever ready to help the needy. Not long since a wid ow lady with two half-clad chil dren came to his office to pay her bill, which was $6 00, aDd the Doctor asked her why she did,not buy clothes and shoes for her children. The reply was she had no money, when he said to her, “take this money you offer me apd buy something for those chil dren.” Many instances of Chris tian charity which has come under the writer’s observation, who has known him for twenty-odd years, could be mentioned. He left his family provided for, besides his estate, his insurance amounting to $4,500. Iu his death the town and com munity loses oue of the beet and most successful physicians in the county, the family a kind and in dulgent father and husband. The deepest and most profound sympathy is extended the bereaved ones It is probable that Dr. W. C. Bryan, of Culloden, Ga., a broth er-in-law to Dr. Harris, will lo cate here. H. W.
