Mrs. Gordon was the daughter Of Mr.. Amariah

Mrs. Gordon was the daughter Of Mr.. Amariah
Plummer. who fell from q building in Market
Square, and was killed, when Georgia was but
three years old. Her mother died of consumption.
The interesting little girl was adopted by Dea. j.
S. Turner and wife, and taken into their family,
where she received the same kind care and train
ing that would be bestowed upon an only child,
every reason to be thankful that the great trust
was committed to their hands. A little more than
year ago Georgia professed faith in the Savior,
and with many Of her young friends, united with
the church OF Christ. She was married in June.
In December she was Frustrated by sickness, her
disease being consumption. At no time during
her sickness did she entertain or express the
slightest hope Of recovery; though life was young
and the future dawned hopefully before her
though true snd faithful and loving husband to
whom she had but just been welded prayed, oh
how earnestly that the darts of the destroyer
might be turned aside though young friends
ferer looked only to the beyond, where there are
pleasures immortal. For these she was ready to
forego whatever there might be of earthly joy. Her
conversation was Of heavenly things; there was
beautiful trust, calm resignation; the forerunners
of Death had disrobed the last great enemy Of all
its terrors and as her feet touched the dark river
it was illuminated with the presence of the Master,
upon whose strong arm she had leaned, and SEEM
ed only the "narrow stream" that the poet has de-
scrbed it. AIeekly and sweeHy has she borne the
burden down to the latest hour. Coaversing with
dear friend, on Sunday, who had brought to her
a bouquet of rare flowers, she remarked, 81 shall
soon be where flowers bloom the year round"
That blessed country, the society of angels, the
company of the bood-washed, and the presence
of the dear Savior, have now become real to her
and who would wish her return?

The decease of our friend whose name stands a,
the head of this paragraph has already been made
public. At the early dawn of the Sabbath, com
memoratve Of the Holy Communion, when the
disciples of our Lord met to renew the r pledges Of
devotion TO the Master, in obedience to his com.
mand, the summons came to this good man to put
off the earthly, and to enter into rest. Having
served with true loyalty his Lord in the outer
sanctuary, with unfagging zeal for these many
years, in the various duties ofchristan service, il
was well that at such an hour he was called to the
presence and vision of Him he loved, to for.
ever more in a "remple not made with hands eter-
nal in the heavens Recognizing ever the truth
that the Lords appointment is the servants hour,
soothed and sustained by an unfaltering
trust, he welcomed with smile the
conscious approach of death, leaving to the
world the legacy of life whose influence
will be abiding. In the church, esteemed by all /,
in the community, respected for his integrity, i,
was in the home, where peculiarly were exhibited
the traits of character that made him beloved
Here was the cheer and g low Of warm heart, the
consderate attentions OF an unstinted hospitality
and the genuine sympathy of christian husband
and father. In all relations, true and earnest, YET
only in the circle of home, in the ebb and flow OF
domestic lie, in the free by-pay of unrestrained
affections, was he eminent, and here it i:
where his vacant chair will most fully remind
surviving ones of the greatness of their loss.
Deacon Deering was born in Portland Sept. 16
1905 In early life, after brief residence in the
South, he settled in Augusta in 1885, and since
that time has been connected in business-First
as junior partner of Mr. Isaac Wing in the boot
and shoe business; Second, with Henry Sewall in
the same business; Third, with j. S. Turner in
Corn and Flour trade; Fourth, with Oscar IIol
way Esq, and subsequently joined BY S. F. Rob
inson under the firm of Deerng, Holway 4 Co
On account of failing health he retired from bust
ness nearly two years ago. hoping by rest to re-
gain strength and courage for still other active
pursuits. In June 1910, he was married to Miss
Caroline Potter Oldest daughter of John Pot
ter Esq, who survives him, and two children
