last, Stella Griffith, grand daughter of DIR. |.
J. NJ Goss, and daughter of Mrs Lita Goss.
Little Stella was nine years and two days
old, and was pretty bright and amiable
child, and her sad death brings sorrow and
sadness not only to her griefstricken pa.
rents but to a circle of playmates and friends
who knew and loved her so dearly. To the
bereaved relatives we tender our profound
sympathy.
There is no death. An angel form
Steals Ger the earth with silent tread,
And bears our best loved things away
And then we call them dead.
He leaves our hearts all desolate,
He plucks our fairest sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The funeral services took place at the
Methodist Church Monday afternoon, Revs
j. H. Baxter, W. D. Anderson and " L.
Manget officiating

Mr.. George NJ. Lacy and wife of Lulu,
Ga, spent day or two here this week Mr.
Lacy is having an additional story built to
his nice and desirable home near town and
and expects to move back to Marietta next
month His place is beautifully situated
with about thirty acres Of land, variety of
fruit trees and fine water, and he is induced
to return and enjoy these blessings.
1t is not the number OF acres the farmer
of this period plants, that indicate his wealth,
as it did in ante-bellum days; but his sys-
TEN of cultivation and the quantity Of man
ures he uses properly. They used to make
one bale of cotton on three acres-now they
can make three bales on one acre. The
thing is exactly reversed, and the three acre
farmer may be far wealthier than his forty
