A man’s third duty in life is
pay cash for his home paper. His
iirst duty is to serve God and the
second is to properly care for his
family.
A county paper does more free
work for the general public and
gets ed qussing more voluntary and undeserv¬
than any other institu¬
tion on the face of the earth.
When a young man indulges in
vices; cultivates a taste for things
low and degrading, and ignores
the admonition of friends, he is on
the broad road to ruin and travel¬
ing at a teritlc rate.
We have flattered ourselves by
t he belief that we had many friends
throughout the county but one of
two things is certainly true. i. e.,
we are mistaken or else these sup¬
posed friends are not raising water
melons this year.
If you don’t appreciate your
county paper enough to take it
and pay for, don’t sneak into the
office and beg one when you are
told that it contains something of
special interest. If you must have
one pay for like a man.

Death.
The death of Mrs. R. A. Guinn
occurred at her home in this o,clock city
yesterday morning at (5
after a long and painful illness.
She was first attacked withrheum¬
atism and other afflictions devel¬
oped which made her case very
complicated and rendered her suf¬
fering great. She was most ten¬
derly nursed throughout her
illness by her devoted family and
particularly assiduous were the
attentions of her son, Dr. J. A.
Guinn. Despite all these devoted
efforts death at last gained the
mastery and the spirit departed.
Through all her sufferings this
good lady exhibited a Christian
fortitude that was pleasing and
ennobling and gave those about
her a greater Christian courage.
Mrs. Guinn leaves behind her a
worthy and devoted husband, and
six children, Mr. R. J. Guinn, of
Atlanta, Mr. R. C. Guinn, of Cov¬
ington, Mr. E. P. Guinn, member
of Col. Candler.s Third Regiment,
at Griffin, Dr. J. A. Guinn, Mrs.
C. E. Reagan, of this city and
Mrs. M. Eakes, of Murray county. moth¬
She was a devoted wife and
er and despite her sore afflictions
was anxious far the welfare of
those she loved. Her death brings
sadness to many hearts and the
sympathy of our people go out to
the. bereaved ones.
The furneral tervices will be
conducted from the Methodist
church this morning at 8 w,clock
bj T Rev. Dr. Quillian, after which
the remains will be laid to rest
in Eastview cemetery.
