Dozier, in Athens, Sat¬ urday night about 8:30, after an ill¬ ness extending ever a period cf two years or more, the past six weeks being practically confined to her room and^ bed all the while. She was a daughter of the late Dr. T. D. Hutcheson and was born and reared in Oglethorpe county. Some twenty-odd years ago she moved to Watkinsville with her brother, Mr. James Hutcheson, recently deceased, and had made her home here since that time. She was a sister of Mrs. T. H. Dozier and an aunt of Mrs. A. W. Dozier, both of Athens. A broth¬ I er, Mr. Edward Hutcheson, died a few % i weeks ago in Atlanta; and a niece, Miss Bessie Hutchescn,daugh¬ ter of Mr. Edward Hutcheson, died only a few days ago. Another broth¬ er, Mr. James Hutchescn, and his wife, Mrs. Mamie Nichols Hutcheson, only a few short months ago passed away at their home here. A nobler Christian character than “Miss Belle” never breathed God’s sunshine; kind, gentle, loving, sym¬ pathetic, she went about her daily duties exhaling an atmosphere puri¬ fying in its nature, exerting to the utmost an influence for the good and Pure in life, and lifting every man, woman and child coming within its charmed radius to a higher plane. The earthly tabernacle that encased her noble soul will shortly revert to dust, but the example of her unself¬ ish life, her devotion to loved ones, her purity of thought aud deeds will live forever, yea “till the stars are old and the leaves of the judgment book unfold.” She was brave and cheerful to the last. Though she knew the insid¬ ious nature of her ailment had r'lin bered her days on earth, that the fi¬ nal summons might come any day or hour, with the fortitude of a true Christian soldier she calmly faced the inevitable with a smile of resig¬ nation beautiful to behold and was ready to resend to the command of her I.ord and ’Master when it so pleased Him to .e nunciate the magic, words; ^Stme up higher.” As she lived „ si she died 1 —a true, brave, tender, loyal, Christian woman, the noblest handiwork of all crea tion’s wonders, a living, vivid testi¬ monial cf the absolute fact that thru service to mankind, following the ex¬ ample of the lowly Nazarene, we are lifted to heights sublime and in the final hour cf life’s fitful dream, on angel wings, transported to the glory land as a reward eternal for faith ful service here performed, Sunday afternoon, at 4 o’clock, in the beautiful Winterville cemetery, loving hands tenderly lowered the tenement of clay of tills good woman to its final resting place beside loved ones already there, the grave cermony being- conducted by a cous in of the deceased, Rev. Luke John¬ son, of Grace M. E. church, Atlanta, assisted by Rev. J. C. Morris, of the First Methodist church, Athens.There under a spreading magnolia, her earthly couch bordered with the ev¬ ergreen, “Miss Belle” rests from her labors, while in the hearts of all who knew her she lives and, like the evergreen, the example of her life will continue to live and exhale a kindly influence for life’s better things through all the years to come. Our heart’s tenderest sympathy is extended to all who grieve over the departure of their loved one. Drainage Contract To Be Let on the Rose Creek Drainage Dist., Oco¬ nee Co., Ga. A. H.
