NRS. FRANCES LEONARD CLEVELAND PASSES AWAY
Venerable Daughter of g
Revolutionary Soldier,
Universally Loved.
NINETY-FOUR VEARS OLD
WHEN DEATH CAME.
Lineal Descendent of John
and Priscilla Alden, of
Longtellow’s Poem.
In the death of Mrs. Frances Leon
%rd Cleveland, which occurred at her
fiome on Cleveland Place, Friday
morning, September 23, Marietta lost
cne of its most notable, interesting
and deeply loved residents.
Mrs. Cleveland was ninety four
years of age, and was one of the few
surviving daughters of revolutionary
soldiers, and it is said, wdas the old
est communicant of the Episcopal
Church in America.
She was a lineal descendant, in the
seventh generation, of John and Pris
cilla Alden, whosg love story is told
in Longfellow's “Courtship of Miles
Standish.” She was born at Bristol,
Rhode Island, September 17, 1816.
Her father, Rev. Henry Wight, D. D,
was- a student at Harvard when the
revolutionary war began, and soon en-}
listed in the army. After the war he
finished his education and became a |
(‘fongregational minister. |
When eighteen years of age _\lrs.g
Cleveland was confirmed in St. An-|
drew’s Episcopal Church, Philadel
bhia, by Bishop White, of Pennsyl-l
Vania, the second bishop consecrated
in the American Church. During her
girlhood she visited Washington City
and met President Andrew Jackson at |
a reception at the White House, and |
heard Webster, Clay and Calhoun |
speak in the Senate. ’
On a visit South she met Robt. M. |
Cleveland, of the well known Cleve- |
land family of Greenville, S. C., and
married him in 1840. They resided in |
lLawrenceville, Ga., where Mrs. Cleve
land spent many busy years in the
care of a family of seven children,;
and the supervision of numerous ser
vants. They were noted for their'
hospitality, and their home, “Chest-!
vut Hill,” was seldom without guests.
After the war the family removed to |
‘aplarge farm near Wartrace, Tenn.,
re Mr. Cleveland died in 1876. I
. Mrs. Cleveland and her unmarried
ildren then spent some years in |
ravel, and visited different parts of'
Europe. She finally made her hame‘
in Marietta. Here she had a large
circle of friends, who were devoted
to her, and to whom her beautiful life
and character were an inspiration.
Her interests in life and in her
iriends continwed unabated until her
death,
Few of the younger generation |
tould excel the exquisite embroider-l
i*s and artistic “knitting she did for.
children and friends in her old age.
She took much pride in her large and :
beautiful flower garden, and gave it
‘Oustant care. She was generous with |
ter flowers, and St. James' Church, of
which she was a devout member, was
kvt supplied from her garden. ]
she was a book lover, and had a
lirze and valuable library, which was |
I constant use by friends before Ma
"€tla had a public library. Until her
e~ illness she wrote at least one
“'ler every day. She often spent her
Simmers jn travel, and even in old
4. took horseback rides in the
mountains,
Her longevity was an inheritance.
Fo'n her paternal and her maternal
““idmothers were Centenarians, and
YT =trong intellectuality. Her father‘
Was eighty, years .of age .at his.

JHday letters, telegrams and gifts,

MRS. FRANCES LEONARD CLEVELAND
FOR BIG DAILIES,
Kennesaw Paper Company
to Start Machkines on
that Product.
The Kennesaw Paper Co., which
Leretofore has been making box board
and other products, will in a few days
begin the manufacture of news-paper.
The company has received orders
from several of the largest dailies in
the South and it is confidently be
lieved the experiment of supplying a
part of the Southern demand will Le
a success. If so it will mean much
for Marietta, because the consumption
of paper has increased enormously
within recent years and the mill might
be able to employ a larger number of
men than ever.
. 4t present practically all the paper
consumed in the South is made in
théd New England States or in Can
ada.

\ RAISED INTO POSITION.
The big smokestack of the water
works plant was raised into position
last Thursday.. It rests on a brick
foundation fifteen feet high and the

well-known colored man, was in charge
of the job and is justly proud of his
success. He is employed by the Gen
eral Construction Company at two dol
lars a day and with toe aid of six
other men painted the stack and rais
ed it into position in ten hours.
Men’s suits from $5.00t0 $lB.OO.

N PERILOUS POSITION.
And For a While Looked
Like Death—Foot Was
Caught in Frog.
It comes to few men to be snatched
from the very jaws of death, as was
the case with Mr J H. Jackson, a
brakeman onthe Western and Atlantic
railroad, in the yards ot the company
here last Friday night.
One of the northbound through
freights had stopped at the time men
tioned for the purpose of picking up
three cars from this station. While
still in motion, Mr. Jackson jumped
from the train to turn the switch that
would let the engine into the sidetrack
where the cars were. It was after the
engineer had started the backward
movement that one of Mr. Jackson’s
feet became iastened in the frog of the
switch, He made all effort to extricate
his foot, but could not. The engine
was bearing down upon him, and it
was only a matter of a few seconds
until bhe would have been ground to
death
It was at this critical time that Mr.
Jackson’s lungs stood him in hand.
His cries brought the conductor toward
Him, who, taking in the situation at a
glance, jumped for a lever that con
trols the air, and, throwing it into
emergency, stopped the train.
It was surely a close call for Mr.
Jackson, and his friends congratulate
him upon his hair-breadth escape.
The only injury sustained by him ie
the dislocation of two small bones of
the foot, and he is now at his-home
near Calboun nursing the injured
member. The attending surgeon says
he will be able to resume work in a
few davs,

| Cotton Crop Short. |
The statement was made in this paper
last week that it was the opinion of
many farmers that Cobb county would
not produce this year over sixty-five
per cent of last years crop ol cotton.
Since that issue of the paper was
circuiated, many farmers have been
seen, and all seem to agree that these
figures are none too low. A trip
through any considerable area of the
county will convince any one that the
yield will pe far short of that of last
year.
