Dead.
It is with much pain we chronicle
tl e death of Mrs. S. W. Jones, of
Milincr, Ga., daughter of Mr. 1. H.
Hardin of this county. She was en¬
tered in our cemetery here on last
Monday, followed to the grave by a
host of sorrowing friends and rela¬
tives. She leaves a husband and six
children, the twin babies being only
about ten days old, and many rela¬
tives to mouin tier death. She was
a fond wife and a devoted mother,
a most excellent lady, a true Mend,
and by her death a void is left that
can never be filled. Requiescat en
pace.

There was a wedding preaching at ourlionse
last week (rather at the big shanty.) Well,
you know just before such occasions as that,
there takes place ageneral gin around, such
as stuffing turkeys to death, breaking eggs
just to hear them pop, mining sugar in the
heaven dust, and galvanizing the cake. Well
the first step they took at the big shanty,
towards fixing up for that momentous oeea
sion, was to bake some sweet bread, and they
covered it all over with something like frost
or snow—it might have boon silver for all we
know. Well, if it was silver, guess we £ave
got a valuable dogy now; for one of our long
eared canios (Blain) got the silver, cake and
all. We told them they might havo known
that Blain was too smart a man for that, (put

was married to Miss M. P. Hendrick, both of

wish for the newly married eouplo a lonjr and
happy life in this world of troubles. And we
hope the g-room will remember what Matthew
Henry said. “Eve was made of a rib out of the
side of Adam,—not made out of his head to
top him, nor out his feet to be trampled upon
by him. but out his side to be equal with him,
under his arm to be protected, and near his
heart to be beloved.
