Bayne, which occurred at his home last Thursday morning, December 9th, about half past one o’clock removes from life one of Milledgeville’s well known and highly respected citizens. ( Death came to Mr. Bayne suddenly and unexpectedly, as the result of a stroke of apoplexy. He spent Wed nesday in the city, being at his home a great portion of the day and was in hia usual health, with the excep- j tion of a slight indisposition from a cold, when he retired at night. About one o’clock Mrs. Bayne was awakened from her sleep and found him kneel ing at the side of the bed in an un conscious condition. She immediate ly aroused other members of the family and Mr. Albert Lugand, a nearby neighbor, and Dr Thos. M. Hall were called, but he died before any assistance could he rendered. The news of his death, as it be came known Thursday morning was heard with profound sorrow by our people, and a large number of friends called at the residence to express their sympathy to the bereaved fam ily- The funeral services were held at the Methodist church Friday after noon, at half past two o’clock in the presence of a large number of rela tives and friends. Rev. C. M. Lip- ham, who officiated, paid a tribute to the life and character of the deceas ed, referring specially to his faith fulness to the church of which he had been a member so many years. The interment was in the city cemetery, the pallbearers being, Messrs. W. H. Montgomery, E. E Bell, C. M. Adams Otto M. Conn, S. D. Stembrdge, E L. Barnes and Dixon Williams. The floral offerings were large in number and beautiful, giving silent testimony of the esteem and confidence of sor rowing friends. John M. Bayne was born in East Baldwin Sept. 26, 1864, and his life of fifty-six years was spent in this community After a few years in school he commenced earning a live lihood and learned the grocery busi ness. At the time of his death he was a traveling salesman for Cox & Chappell, a leading wholesale house of Macon. He was popular with all of the merchants of his territory. He was twice married, his first wife being Miss Katie Kilpatrick, of God frey. Three children survive him by ;his marriage, Mr. Geo. Bayne, of Macon; Miss Dolly Bayne, of this city, and Miss Martha Bayne, of Ma con. His second wife was Miss Ruth Logan, of Atlanta, who with one daughter, Miss Ruth Bayne, survive him. Besides the above he, leaveR two brothers, Mr. Sami E. Bayne and Mr. E. S. Bayne, of Macon, and two sisters, Miss Kate Bayne, of Macon, and Mrs. R. S. Wimberly, of Lump kin. Mr. Bayne early in life began forming a character of honesty, in tegrity and right living, basing it upon the Christian faith. He was held in the highest esteem and con fidence by his felloW men, who recog nized in him a man of Christian worth He was true to every obli gation of life and performed every duty faithfully. A good man has fallen on sleep, leaving a sweet heritage to his fam ily. “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." Ir. anothr column tne Union-Re corder carries the application of the Baldwin County Live Stock Corpor ation for a charter. The object of said corporation will be the development of the cattle and hog industry in Baldwin and adja cent counties, and they will buy and sell cattle and hogs in this territory. Those applying for the charter are Jos. E. Pottle, Jon W Hutchinson, L. H. Andrews, Mrs. Jon W. Hutchin son, Mrs. V, A. Little, Whitfield Gro- c ry Co., Milledgeville Milling Co., the Milledgeville Coca Cola Bottling Co., L. C. Hall, Chandler Bros., R. W. Hatcher, E. E. Bell, Georgia Pro ducts Co., J. L. Sibley, Dixon Wil liams, Lewis Flernister, Peoples Hard ware Co.. E. E. Bass, Richard Billion, L. N. Jordan, H E. Andrews, Drs. Hall and Little and Joseph’s Depart ment Store. This organization expects to co operate with the farmers of this ter ritory for encouragement of raising cattle and hogs by supplying them with breeding stock and in every way possible to encourage this industry. The failure of the cotton crop in this section the present year has proven conclusively that the farmers ep.nnot depend any longer on cotton 1 as their money crop but must turn 1 their attention to other crops and j industries. There is money to be i made in cattle and hog raising and | there is no reason why fine hogs and j cattle cannot be raised in Baldwin ( county. This company will not only sell the farmers their stock, but will supplp a market for their product. . 5.
