heath of Mrs. j. Fl. Geise.

Mrs. J. III. Geise, of Bronwood,
relict Of the late Reuben Geise,
died last Thursday morning in
Atlanta at the residence of her
son-in-law, Mr.. d. j. Ray. The
remains were brought to Dawson
Friday and deposited at the resi-
dence of Hon. O. B. Stevens till
ten o'clock Saturday morning,
when they were conveyed to the
Methodist church, where Rev. w.
M. Hayes, Of Talbotton, delivered
a touching funeral discourse.
The remains were then conveyed
to the city cemetery and laid to
rest, large crowd of people of
Dawson, Bronwood and vicinity
attending, thus showing their es-
teen for the deceased.
AS 4 tribute to this excellent la
dy we can say no more than they
who knew her best loved her best.
Whilst all were attracted by her
sympathetic face and gentle man
ner, only those who knew her in
timately could appreciate the depth
and fullness Of her nature. She
was lady of gentle, kind and af-
fectionate traits of character, and
won from all that respect and adj
miration which such elements Of
character attract.
Home was to her woman S
kingdom" and in that field she
always appeared as some heaven
ly angel sent to scatter rays of
sunshine in the hearts of those
she loved and served. As a friend
she was always true, trusting and
confding; as wife and mother, in
dulgent, gentle and loving with
that love that is everlasting.
We wish we could say some
thing to comfort the bereaved who
are left to mourn the loss Of q
loving and tender mother. "But
alas! how uncertain is life" for it
is most certainly true that ''iu the
midst of life we are in death"
But God has seen fit in His all
wise providence to call this most
estlmab)e one from earthly cares
to chat rest which remaineth for
the children of God" How sad
to part from one 50 dearl Bat
His methods are inscrutable.
Gently, quietly as she had lived,
SO this beloved one passed away.
An obituary notice will appear
in the JOURNAL at an early day.

Raspberries.

Few people, even tIliers of the soil
know to what extent the raspberry
has been grown of late years. This is
more especially the case with black
caps. Some who raised from one to
five acres now raise from ten to fifty
The price has not come down, nor is
it likely to. They are so easily dried
that the grower will not pay express
charges and commission unless he is
pretty sure of fair price. Red vari-
cites are seldom or never dried. Ii
they cannot be sold at paying price,
they are canned or made into jam or
Jelly. Over two thousand dollars
worth OF red raspberries have been
known to be sold from six acres in a
year. Any good variety, either black
or red will yield more bushels per acre
than corn, and from three to six crops
may be obtained from single plant
ing. One should have some knOwl-
edge of fruit culture before he can ex-
pect great success. II really anxious
to learn, he can get this knowledge
from the experience of others. Rasp-
berries are worth from three TO eight
dollars Il bushel; they meet with a
ready sale, they are nice to handle,
they do not exhaust the soil, and they
come into market at time when ev-
cry one is earning money and is will
ing to spend it.-Er.

The very small calibfe leaders in
this state who have been running the
party SO ably and successfully as to re
duce our majority from 4I,O00 to 1000
in the past few years; those leaders
who harped so loudly aud eloquently
over the assertion that the railroads
owed the bonded debt of the the State
and the State did not owe it; those
leaders who, having gulled the major
ity of the voters to believe they meant
what they preached, and having gotten
on top and desiring to continue in
power by another hypocrisy called
railroad commission. Those aforesaid
leaders are shown by the brightest
court in the land to lie sham, unreli-
able and unworthy, and are therefore
now requested to be seated on the back
row and to keep still. The party will
regain its place as Democratic state
as soon as you take your seats.
