Mrs. J. J. Terry.

1
The death of Mrs. ]. J. Terry,
at half past three o'clock yester-
day afternoon, will be RENE mber-
ed as one of the most unexpected
and pathetic bereavements that
has ever befallen this community.
Mrs. Terry, who for many years
has enjoyed practically uninter-
rupted good haalth, was taken
suddenly i'll on the morning of
September 4th with what was at
first supposed to be simply case
of severe indigestion, but as her
condition grew more serious
physicians were called in and her
daughter, Mrs. O. S. Mccoy,
was summoned from Cordele.
The sufferer rallied from time
to time, and on Sunday evening
was thought to be on the road to
recovery, but change for the
worse took place Monday morn
ing, and in a few hours the faith
full wife and loving, se1f-secrifc-
ing mother had passed into that
country from which no traveller
returns.
Mrs. Terry was not woman
prominent in social affairs. Her
home was her castle, and her
whole thought and ambition was
conferred in the welfare of those
within that home. Her daily
care was to do something that
would contribute to the comfort
and pleasure of her children.
The favored few who met and
knew her in her own home best
appreciated her high moral char
acter and sterling worth, for she
was seldom seen in public or at
social functions.
Mrs. Terry was ffty-three
years of age, and had lived in
Fitzgerald about ten years, hav-
ing come here from Bay City,
Michigan, when the colony was
new. She had been a mem Der of
the Baptist church for many
years, and recently joined the
order of the Ladies of the Mac
cabees.
Besides her husband, she leav-
es to mourn her untimely death,
family of seven children, all of
whom, with the exception of Mrs.
Henry Van Holt, whose home is
in Michigan, were with her dur
ing her last illness. The other
children are Mrs. o. S. Mccoy,
of Corde1e, three sons, Roy, Ray
and Fred, all of whom are grown
70 manhood, and two little daugh-
tiers, Lulu and Leah, the latter
being the baby of the family,
coy, winsome child of only ten
years.
Funeral services we're held at
the residence at 800 o'clock this
afternoon, and the remains were
| laid to rest in Evergreen GEM
etery.

Mise Johnson was an excellent
teacher, but her taste In dress, espe-
cially head-dress, was so peculiar that
even her adoring pupils could not fail
to notice it. The verdure which ap-
peared upon Miss Johnson's hat one
season was SO gaudy that several won
dering comments were made by the
boys.
"I'm going to ask her what that
green stuff is" said one boy, valiantly,
In spite Of the vigorous objections Of
his companions. "She won't mind, and
next nature-study class I'm going to
ask her, and see who's right"
So, red in the face but stubborn, he
rose at the end Of lesson on wayside
flowers. in response to Miss Johnson's
general request for any questions
which might have come up since tho
last lesson.
"I'd like to know about that green
stuff on your hat" he said, bluntly.

The Emperor. Nicholas IT., has a.
ready reigned for nearly ten years. and
ruled for fully eight; yet the concrete
man, his individual character, and the
order of motives to which It is sensi-
BILE, are nearly all az legendary as
those of Numa Pompilius. Clouds of
Journalistic myths, mainly Of German
origin, enwrap his figure, hiding It
from the vulgar gaze as thoroughly ais
though he Were Delai Lama; and the
fanciful portrait which we are asked
to accept, is as abstract and as color
less as that Of our legendary Russian
princes. Beyond the precincts OF the
palace, his person is TRANSPORTED, his
most trivial deeds are glorified, and his
least disinterested motives are twisted
and pulled into line with the funda-
mental principles of ethics. The re-
suit is a caricature closely bordering
on the grotesque. Nikalai Alexandra
witch is depicted as a prince of peace.

OF kings IN virtue, not only of the
dread responsibilities laid upon him
by the Most High, but also by reason
Of his own passionate love of human
tty and his selhess devotion to the true
