I JACOB J. GOBI
He Was Nearing the Qentury
Year When Death Called
Him From Life.
Milledfjeville’s oldest citizen is dead.
Mr. Jacob J. Gnmm died Monday
about noon,at the home of his daughter,
Miss Cora Gamin.
Mr. Gutnm had been in feeble health
for a loug time 0,1 account of liis ex
treme old age, being a few months over
ubiety-nine years old. For many
weeks those who loved and cared l'or
l,j m were solicitous about his condition
as they realized that bis vitality and
weakened strength ware being sapped
by disease.
The funerel services were held at the
residence this afternoon at three o’clock,
Kev. Elam F. Dempsey officiating.
Daring the bonr of the services tlia
-tores were closed and business was sus
pended.
Mr. Gnmm was born in East Baldwin
Feb. 14th, 1S12, and spent his long life
here. He was at one time Tax Receiver
and Collector. He served in the Greek
Indian war, and received a pension for
a long number of years. He saw many
changes wrought in the history of his
oonntrv, and saw it grow from a small
to the most powerful nation in the
world. He issurvived by three children,
Messrs. George and Herman and Miss
('ora Gunim, and several grand chil
dren, aud great grand children. The
sympathy of our entire people go
out to the bereaved ones.
The people of Milledgeville and Bald
win County tiaye felt a deep interest in
Mr. Gumm, as,his long life had been
-pent here, and lie knew the history of
the city and comity. His father was a
Virginian, and he inherited the qualities
of character of the forefathers Of this
country. The greater part of his life
was spent on the farm, and thus he de
veloped healthy constitution and strong
mind, both of which stood him well
in the long years through which lie
lived. He was a member of the Meth
odist church, and as his strength grew
weaker his faith in the life beyond the
giave grew stronger.
hums’ Pharmarcy is now dispensing
the purest soda water and best freezes.

field to the step of a merry time.

spicy yells full of originality and snap.

shown by botli sides, while the goal
work could have been better. The score
was S to 1 iu favor of the Jnuiors.

The result was 10 to 3 in favor of the
Sophomores.
Then came the final contest between
the Sophomores and Juniors. Here was
ilie greatest excitement far upon its
