LOVING AND IMPRESSIVE TRIBUTE TO
THE MEMORY OF THE LATE JESSE
ROGERS

LOVING AND IMPRESSIVE TRIBUTE TO
THE MEMORY OF THE LATE JESSE
ROGERS.
The memorial exercises held by the
members of the First Baptist Church, on
last Sunday night, in tribute TO the mem
DRY of the late Rev. Jesse Rogers, wer
very impressive.
The church at an early hour was fillet.
with a large throng of people who came
with willing hearts to pay tribute 20 the
sterling worth of one one who had ong
been citizen OF Dawson, and who h5G
endcMed himself to every one by his
consistent walk and conversations
Tributes to his memory We're offered
10y Messrs. b. Ii. Hood, John Whitohard.
{. c. Jones, and tuIs. ii. Il. cLendou
and w. Ii. Patterson
The tribute read by Mr. Claud Jones
made marked impression upon all who
heard it, is it gave the inner lite OF "Un-
Gle Jesse "a life Teplcte with usefulness.
Said the reader: otis said that humility
is the prime ornament of a christian. and
Uncle Jesse was adorned with that gem.
for he was an humble, forbearing, self
sacrificing man. Besides, he WIS geucr-
Gus. An inmate Of our home for several
years, we knew him well, and in all those
years v e knew him as Il consistent, con
cecrated christian, and his conversation
was almost invariably OF religious ma
tuTe. We often. at home, noticed and
remarked how closely he kept the Com
mandments always far removed from
making an idol of money, and a stranger
to politics"
We have given only part of what was
read by Mr.. Jones, only so much of it as
to show the sentiments OF those who
knew him best.
The concluding remarks OF his pastor,
Rev, W. II. Patterson, touched CLOSELY
upon "Uncle Jefse's" outer and inner
life, and the speaker seemed to touch
chord in the heart of every
one present as he, beautifully brought be-
fore them the religious traits of one WHO
in life ministered lovingly to many, and
whose memory will ever remain fragrant
around us.
The singing was rendered most pleas |
antly, and the selection of hymns was
well adapted to the services.
Well was it that such tribute should
have been paid by his church, for to it |
he had given the best of his days.
The memory of Rev Jesse Rogers will !
ever be held in yeueraion and love.

The Proof of the Pudding.

Have you humors, causing blotches?
Does YOU blood run thick and sluggish?
Are you drowsy, dull and languid2
Is bad taste in your mouth, and
Is your tongue all furred and coated?
Is your sleep with bad dreams broken?
Do you feel downhearted, dismal,
Dreading something, what you knew not?
Then be very sure you're bilious
That you have a torpid liver,
and what you need is something to rouse
it and make it active enough to throw off
the impurities that clog it; something to
inyigorate the debiltated system, and
help all the organs 10 perform the duties
expected of them, promptly and energet-
ically. That something is DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, the great
Blood Purifier, which its prGprietors
have such faith in that they guarantee it
to cure. If it does not, your money will
be refunded. But twill. Buyit, try it,,
and be convinced OF its wonderful power.
If the proof Of the pudding is in the eat
ing, the proof of this remedy is in the
taking.

He INSULTED The JUDGE
AND WAS PROMPTLY KNOCKED TO THE
GROUND.
CAPTAIN sTUCKEY AND JUDGE QUERY
HAVE 4 FIGHT AT BLAKELY. THE
RESULT.

CAPTAIN STCCkEY AND JUDGE QUERY
HAVE a FIGHT AT BLAKELY.-THE
RESULT.
While holding Early superior court at
Blakely, last week, Judge Query was
forced to resent an insult in very en-
phatic manner
He was grossly insulted by tardy iu
ror whom he had fined 50, and the insult
was vigorously resented by the plucky
judge with a well directed blow of his
fist that sent the fellow to the ground
with a thud.
The particulars Of the occurrence is
best told by the Blakely News:
During this mornings session of court
Judge Query fined Captain w. II. Stuck
ey i've dollars for hardness us a tales iu-
ror, This gave the captain offense, and
he avowed to his frienhs his intention to
see the judge later. True to his word
he met the judge as he was going into
the court house preparatory to having
court called for the afternoon After
some little talk between them, in which
both seemed cool, the judge started on
up the steps. Before he assembled the
first one, however the captain told him
he was a d--n rascal. whereupon His
Honor turned ana knocked him down.
AT this juncture Sheriff Black and Mar
shal Clancy took charge oil the captain
and Judge Query went on up to his
court. Both of these gentlemen are very
com ageous and determined men: vet we
see no reason why any further trouble
should follow
Judge Query reached Dawson from
l'iakely Friday night, aud is spend
ing this week with his family before go
ing to Miller court next week.
The judge is perfectly satisfied with
his part in the affair." and expects no
further trouble.
Captain StHckey is under a $500 bond
to answer to the charge of contempt of
dourt.
Parties who were in the city Saturday
from Blakely tell TUE News that Cap
tain Stuckey's frieds made an effort to
persuade him to apologize to the court
but failed in the undertaking.
Tie captain is reported to be of very
obstinate disposition, and his friends
say that he VIII suffer any punishment
that it is in the power of the court to in
fiict in the contempt case before he will
apologize.
