At Rest.

Bessie Virginia Clogs, daughter OF
Eli and Beckie Clogs, died Sept. /, 1907,
in District Number Seven.
While Bessie had not been real well
for some time, her death was sudden
and unexpected to her many relatives
and friends. She was only seventeen
years Of age, sweet, affectionate
young girl, loved by all who knew her.
AS noiselessly as breezes, when they
barely ripple the bosom of the flow
ers and scarcely awake their tender
estperfume, death slipped into peace
full home and tore from the stem OF
humanity this precious daughter.
And as gently as spray from the
rill, or mist from the mountain, or
perfume from the flower, or light from
a landscape when the day is dying,
the spirit of sweet Bessie faded away
into the atmosphere of Immortality.
She had ever made her home with her
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Marion

and darkened by this death; but it is

A Curious Accident.

On Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Sam
Bowen, the efficient constable of the
Macon District, put his pipe in his
pocket and mounted his horse to ride
to the depot to serve some legal papers.
When about a third of the way there,
a lady who was on the sidewalk en-
gagged in wetting the dusty streets with
a hose, cried to him that he was on
fire On looking down he discovered
that his coat on the left side was in a
light blaze. He was unable for while,
owning to his lameness and the excite
ment Of his horse, to dismount But
he finally got to the ground and the
hose was played on him until the fire was
axtinguished. His coat, vest and shirt
We're burned, and his person badly
3corched. His injuries are painful but
thought not dangerous. The fire was
caused by his failure to thoroughly
knock out his pipe after smoking.
Mr.. Bowen lay for two days and
nights on the field of Gettysburg with
one leg shot all to pieces without water,
food or medical attention. To such a
man the present misfortune will seem
slight, but it came very near being a
very serious accident.
