A SAD DEATH.
Mrs. Mershon, the Music Teacher OF Far

Mrs. Mershon, the Music Teacher of Far
rOtt High School, Dies at Americas.
News reached Dawson Wednesday of
the death of Mrs. Rosa MershOn in Amer
lcus that morning at l o'clock.
Mrs. Mershon, who was the accomplish
ed and popular music teacher of the Par
rott High School, haG many friends
and acqulintances here, and the an
lOuncement of her death carried sorrow
to many hearts.
The Americus Recorder of Thursday
contained the following concerning the
sad even:
The community was saddened yester-
day morning by the announcement of
the death of Mrs. Rosa Mershon, which
occurred at the home of her father, Mr..
w. D. Haynes, shortly after one O'Clock.
Few sadder deaths ever took place here,
and the heartfelt sympathies of many
friends go out to the stricken ones in
their great sorrow.
Mrs. Mershon had been i'll with ty-
phoid fever for nearly seven weeks, and
notwithstanding the tenderest care that
loved ones could bestow the maladY
could not be stayed, and death finally
ended her sufferings.
Nearly two months ago Mrs. Mershon
and her sweet little daughter, .Madge,l left
for Calhoun, Ca, to spend some time
with friends. " lille there she was
stricken with fever, but as soon as posi-
Die was brought home where the tender
care of loved ones could be given her.
For time she rallied, but soon relapse
followed and on yesterday her sweet
spirit winged its flight to realms on high.
Mrs. Mershon was the next eldest
daughter OF Mr.. W, D. Haynes, and some
four or five years ago was welded to Mr..
E. B. Mershon, then of Atlanta, and who
died about two years afterward, One
child, little Madge, blessed their union,
and is left to mourn the loss of mother
and father.
The funeral took place at o'clock
yesterday afternoon, the very large con-
course of sorrowing relatives and friends
attesting the love and high esteem in
which tie deceased was held. Mrs. Mer-
shon had long been consistent member
of the Baptist church.

Death of Little Annie Belle Sears.

On Saturday, the 18th Of September, at
II O'Clock, the angel of death visited the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Sears and
carried the spirit of their little one-year-
old daughter, Annie Belle, to the heaVss
emily home beyond. She will never re-
turn to us, but we can go to her.
She was sick only two short weeks, but
her sufferings were great and she bore
them without murmuring, only calling
"papa, papa" all the time. There is a
vacant place in that home that can never
be filled, but little Annie Belle is not
dead-only sleeping. Annie Belle was a
good, sweet child and was loved by all
who knew her. Her remains were In
tered at Sardis church Sunday morning,
Rev. Fl. r. McLendon performing che
last sad rites.
Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
From which none never wake to weep.

A Good Appetite

Always accompanies good health and an
absence of appetite is an indication of
something wrong. The universal testi-
mony given by those who have used
Hoods Sarsaparllla, as to its merits in
restoring the appetite, and as a purifier
of the blood, constitutes the strongest
recommendation that can be urged for
any medicine.

Huronite,'26: For the week ending
October 14th, 1894, the average deposits
Of the associated banks of New York
city were about s59l. 100000, made up in
large part of the funds of country banks.
This is stored money, whose real owners
the country people-farmers and ALL
are anxious that it should be earning
something. It is disastrous to mt ny
Of them 10 have it idle. All that is need
ed to make happy workers OF both these
idlers is to get them together. Restored
confidence can never come for any com
munity where any considerable number
OF voters encourage by their precepte
and practices the two anarchisms. just
plain everyday business demands
a ballot against populism this year, the
more especially among q people who
need to have money circulate.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES.

The eminent qualifications OF the re-
publican candidates for the county Of
fees gives the ticket a prestige as com
pared with its competitor which is win
ming 1t favor the longer the canvass
continues. Not the least eminently
qualified for the positions they seek is
J. n. Preston for clerk of courts, who
knows every out and in of court records
and court proceedings, a man who does
much OF his work to those in need for
nothing, and is at all times the most
%congenial of public servants. Arthur
Northrop is another OF those men OF the
common people who will not allow his
personal Importance to get away with
him when he gets into al Office. He
will be just the same bob" he is now,
unswersingly honest and plain spoken to
all men, genial and accommodating, and
above all qualified for the position ofau-
ditor. just so we will find Holdridge
for states attorney, not drawing his sal
airy from the county and selling his SER
vices to those whom he ought to prose
cute, but a man Of integrity, ability and
courtesy. But the man who 10 making
friends every hour Of the day and will
surprise his opponents when the ballots
are counted, is Ole Moger. Nor does he
represent himself for what he is not.
Not even using the subterfuge that he is
a poor man and needs the office. Hon.
est as the day IS long, pleasant and hum
BILE in his bearing, asking the suffrages
of his fellow citizens for what they see
in him and what he will do when placed
10 Office, Ole is storing away a great big
majority for himself and is helping
along the rest of the ticket at the same
time.

hardly crawl out in time for the .presi-
dental election in 1895. Men, Sound
and in line with democratic principles"
such as their populist opponents, are not
particularly wanted and r not very
popular at this time. A'republican likes
afoeman worthy OF his steel, and likes
him to appear what he really is, but for
"a democrat to mask as a popullst to
catch votes is a genuine reflection on the
man who thus masks. One OF the good
results of Senator Kyle's address here
has been to prove the thorough identii-
cation of ~populism and democracy, and
as a consequence, there is a general fall
ing away of old time republicans from
the populist fold. They are returning
home to the old party, the party Of pro-
gress, prosperity and peace, and the re-
publican party in Lake county will next
Tuesday roll up the largest proportion
ate republican vote it has done in six
wears.

MILWAUKEE,, Oct. 2.-A special to
The Evening Wisconsin from Iron
Mountain, Mich, says: The work Of
rescuing the imprisoned miners at
the Pewabic was accomplished between
9 and 2 o'clock q. M, and they were
hoisted to the surface rs sound as o
dollar and without q mark. There il
great rejoicing In the community.
The men were imprisoned for over 40
hours, but ut no time did they consider
themselves In danger or despair al
rescue. The men were plentifully sup.
piled with water, and the air was pure,
and beyond missing . few meals, the
men suffered no Inconvenience. When
the upper works gave way, the men
were at work back in the drift, and
their experiences were very common
place. The greatest sufferers were the
wives and children of the imprisoned
men, and several Of them are nearly 81
deaths door from nervous prostration.
The men view their experience In the
nature of . joke.
