Death of Mr. J. J. Mize.
About 8 o’clock Sunday morn¬
ing the death of Mr. John J.
Mize occurred at his home in the
•western part of the city. He had
been ill several weeks and at the
time of his death was surrounded
by the immediate members of
his family.
Mr. Mize was one of the most
prominent citizens of the town
and all day Sunday a stream of
friends visited the home to view
the remains and to tender ex¬
pressions of sympathy to the be¬
reaved family.
The fimeral services were con¬
ducted from the residence at 10
o’clock Monday by Rev. B. W.
Davis of Camilla and the inter¬
ment took place at the city ceme¬
tery. Many handsome floral
decorations were placed upon the
grave
A marked tribute of. resp ect
was tmVdem^Ky the" merchants.

and attended the funeral.
The pall bearers were J. W.
Everett, J. M. Hurst, W. C.
Twitty, D. F. Pickron, Z. H.
Jones, H. D. Sapp, C. V. James
and H. H. Merry.
Mr. Mize was a man of public
affairs and for many years was
closely identified with the up¬
building and progress of the town.
He was an independent spirit,
strong in his convictions and de¬
termined in his advocacy of any
cause he believed to be rignt.
For twenty-five -years he was a
member of the city council, serv¬
ing in this capacity with an in¬
termission of two terms, ever
since the incorporation of the
town. Last spring he declined to
stand for re-election on account
of his declining health.
As a councilman he was loyal
and constant in his ‘watchfulness
of the city’s interests and proved
a valuable member of the com¬
mittees on which he served. For
many years he was chairman of
the street committee besides serv¬
ing on other committees.
He was loyal to his friends in
politics as well as business, lhe
last time he went out of his
house was on June 4th when in
his feeble condition he got from
his bed and was driven to the
polls where he cast his ballot for
his old friend, Jim Griggs.
One of the many letters of sym¬
pathy received by the family
is from Mr. Griggs who was una¬
voidably prevented from attend¬
ing the funeral in person.
Mr. Mize was born in Banks
county December 3rd, 1849 aud
came to Mitchell county when he
was eight years old. Forty-ooe
years ago he was married to Miss

The Game at Camilla
Almost half a hundred loyal root¬
ers went to Camilla Wednesday af¬
ternoon to staud by the Pelham boys
in their game of ball against our sis¬
ter city.
u How it happened” is more than
we can tell but the score card at the
end of the eleventh inning showed 3
to 2 in favor of Camilla. Somehow
the card got turned over and the
record showed the wrong way.
It was a beautiful and a strong
game and well worth the trip to see
it. The tie lasted to the last half of
the eleventh inning when sombody
worked a rabit foot on the home
team and one run was made.
Bob Fleming makes an ideal um¬
pire who keeps the game free from
unpleasant wrangling and leaves
both sides fighting it out on skill.
Sprinkler in the box for Camilla
was especially strong and saved the
game for them. Oglesby pitched an
excellent game for the Pelham boys
and either shut his men out or
them from making an
hit.
•well, it jjist wept the
than any man can do.
