IN MEMORY—Of Mrs Mary Cross, who was born November 25, 1814, and died at her home in Rising Fawn, Ga., July 8, 1881. Sister Cross was a little past 67 years old. She was married to Rev. Soloman Cross in 1833, making nearly half a century these aged Christians nave journeyed together After her husband had professed re¬ ligion she never gave herself a moment's rest until she founc the pearl of great price. Dur¬ ing the last years of her life she was greatly afflicted, yet no one ever heard her complain or think her iot a hard one. She was al¬ ways anxious for the success oi the church. She expressed tc the writer once that she was afraid the people were not as religious as they ought to be, or were given too much to worid- ly-mindedness. I think she was the most perfectly resigned per¬ son through all her long suffer¬ ing I ever knew. On last Sun¬ day morning at Byrd’s Chapel the writer preached her funeral to a large circle of friends and loved ones, after which her body was laid to rest by the side ol her children to await the glori¬ ous morning of the resurrection While the aged husband only halts but a little while this side the mysterious river, yet it won’t be long until he, too, if “faith¬ ful unto death,” will go up tc meet his dear companion, where parting is no more. C. D. McTeer. DIED—On the 30th of June last, Mrs Lucy Stewart, aged about 80 years. Mrs. Stewart was one of the first settlers of the county, she was here before the Indians left. Mrs. Stewari was a good Christian lady well thought of by all who knew her. She was a woman of remarkably good qualities. She has tolled and reared a large family, but she is now at rest.

Fort- son, Jr. VirBTnriTBTnrBTnnnnro'T'jnnri GEORGIA’S FIGHT TO SAVE HER RECORDS By Gus Bernd, Historical Re¬ search Assistant Georgia’s fight to save her precious records has been a long and gallant one. The struggle to preserve her story for poster¬ ity has often been carried on against plunderous invasion by foreign foes as well as against the veer-present ravages of time and insufficient funds for ade¬ quate archival protection. During the Revolutionary War when the Colony was overrun by the British, Georgia’s Colonial records were loaded upon wag¬ ons and ended their journey in Maryland after dodging capture at several stops in the Carolinas. Captain John Milton, then Sec¬ retary of State, inscribed his name on Georgia’s roll of honor by leaving his command and seeing the rescue of the priceless papers through to success. After the war, Georgia recovered them almost intact. The first worthwhile history of Georgia was written by Major Hugh McCall and published in 1811. In the eighteen twenties, Joseph V. Bevan was appointed historiographer for Georgia by Governor George M. Troup and did much to bring the starte’s early records together. In 1837, Dr. Charles Wallace Howard was commissioned by the General As¬ sembly to “repair to London for the purpose of procuring the co¬ lonial records, or copies thereof, (To be Continued next week) for one year next preceding the closing date for receipt of ap¬ plications, and who meet, the other requirements set forth in Form AN-1977.
