An Old Master Mason.

AT an election of officers for
John w. Oliver Lodge, a. r. and
A. NJ, held at Friendship, Satur-
day, Nov. 3rd, ID. r. r. Apple
white was reelected Worshipful
Master. With the exception of
one term the Doctor has held this
honored Office since 1876, which
is certainly a deserved tribute to
worthy man, and shows the
high esteem in which be is held
by the brethren in the fraternity
in which community he for so
long resided. Dr.. Applewhite
was first made a mason in 1860,
the year he attained the age of
majority, and his devotion to its
principles has continued ever
since. It seldoms falls to the lot
of men to be thus honored year
after year; but we feel sure the
members as well as the citizens of
Friendship community appreciate
the services the doctor has done
for our county and State and con-
graduate them on their choice.
We hope to see him live to see
many more elections and that he
will continue to preside in the
East for many years co come,
in the high Office he has filled so
long and so satisfactorily to all.

Death Of Mrs. Bette Brooks.

On Saturday morning last at an
early hour the weary spirit Of
Mrs. Bette Brooks left its worm
out tenement of clay and scared
to the home Of pure delight,
where there is neither sorrow nor
crying, nor long waiting for the
end of a journey made rough and
dark by the vicissitudes of human
life.
Some twelve years ago the
death of a beloved and only child
and daughter robbed Mrs. Brooks
life Of all its brightness and zest.
She never was able to overcome
the severe nervous shock of this
sudden calamity to her hearts
best love and hopes; but still liv-
ed on. because live she must, a
wreck Of woman who had once
been qneenly beautiful and hap
=py. The beloved daughter, who
had married Mr.. Charles Malone,
Of Atlanta, left a little girl Of six
years, around whom Mrs. Brooks
tenderest earthly ties entwined
and who ameliorated her sore dis
tress of heart and mind. And in
all her pitiful disappointment and
grief she was most carefully tend
ed and tenderly REGARDED BY her
faithful sister, Mrs. Ellen Hardy,
with whom she resided, and her
family Of grown children. Mr..
Malone, the hereft husband, foo,
never lost sight of the stricken
mother of his wife, and she re-
peatcdly visited him and the
young grand daughter at Atlanta.
As a last tribute, this loyal gem
tleman attended the funeral SER
vices on Monday morning.
The rites were said By Rev. r.
Fl. Purser, after which the poor
body that had suffered beyond the
ken of most lives, was lowered to
its last rest at Rosehill Cemetery,
beside the ashes of the long-de-
parted, but ever-lamented daugh-
ter.

some brighter cline bid me
Goodmorning. z
