LITTLE MAMIE MCLEOD.
A Sweet Little Babe Enters Upon
the Eternal Sleep.

A Sweet Little Babe Enters Upon
the Eternal Sleep.
On Friday night, April 18th, 1910,
as the world seemed wrapped in
slumber and the quiet stars kept
their vigils over the peaceful scene
the death angel entered the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Marvin Mcleod at
Pleasant Hill and took from them
their little babe, Mamie. For two
weeks she suffered with a burning
fever, and desperately did Dr. Lamar
strive to heal the little body of it's
malad.es, but she was beyond human
help. Gods hand alone could heal,
SO from her dear parents arms she
was tranSplanted in the bosom of the
tender Shepherd.
On, God! how mysterious are thy
ways to take the only girl from these
devoted parents! How often had
they pictured their baby grown in
WOmanhoOd and a comfort to them in
their old age! But now their hopes
are blasted forever The only conso-
lation they have is the sweet reaIiza-
ton that their little one is with the
Savior and angels.
Little Mamie was the idol CT her
household and the pet of all who
came under the magic influence of
her sweet, unselfish ways. No won
der her loved ones will mourn her
loss!
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. j. w. Quarterman of
WaycrOss, and very comforting were
the beautiful thoughts he expressed
AS we looked upon the snow white
casket and the little one so beautiful
IN death, her waxen fingers stilled
forever, we thought how emblematic
.of her angelic purity.
The dear parents hearts are
crushed and bleeding as they look
upon the empty cradle and carriage.
but may they in thought walk the
golden streets with her in that home
where sickness nor sorrow nor death
ever come.
The casket was more than covered
with beautiful flowers, breathing the
tender affection of friends of SO few
years, and the large congregation at
tendlng the funeral bespoke the high
regard and heartfelt sympathy for
these fond parents.
She has fallen asleep.
She is resting at last;
The pulse has grown still,
The fever is past.
She suffers no longer.
In heart or in brain.
And the pain that so racked her
She has fallen asleep,
Dear Mamie has passed;
Thank God as we weep
She is resting at last.

Terrell County has the biggest
crop of candidates in it's history, but
after the able voter gets through
with them Thursday they will be re-
duced to one in a hill.
A primary for the nomination OF
county officers and a special election
to fill the vacancy in the legislature
caused by the resignation of Repre-
sentative Marshall will both be held
tomorrow, the 28th inst.
There are from two to four candi-
dates for every Office except for
treasurer and surveyor, and although
the people have shown but little in
terest in the campaign the very fact
that there are so many candidates is
expected to bring out recOrd-break-
ing vote The list of candidates. who
will be voted for, and every one of
whom is confident that he will be
elected, is as follows:
For Representative c. Pickett
and M. N. Childs.
For Clerk Superior Court-W. S.
Dozier, c. M. Harris and G. w. Bass.
For Sheriff-M G. Hill, ]. 2. Tur-

elections, as one is a state election
to elect a member of the legislature
and the other is a party primary for
the purpose of nominating county
officers.
The polls will open and close at
the usual hours, and electors must
vote at the precinct of the district
in which they reside.

CORRECTS CAMPAIGN CANARD
Mr.. J. o. Russell Refutes SANDERS
Circulated ON Eve of Election
For Political Purposes.

| For POlItIcal purposes.
To the Voters and Citizens of Ter
rell County: have been informed
that some Ill disposed parties are
circulating reports concerning me
which are untrue, and while politics
seem to be a fertile cause of such re-
! ports l feel that these are unfair and
should be denied.
1t has been stated that I had re-
tired from the race for Tax Collec-
| tor. This is absolutely false. l am
| in the race to stay and to win.
If my opponents seek to influence
my candidacy at this stage of the
] contest l do not know but that
| shall be confronted with other re-
ports equally as false. l urge my
supporters not to be deluded by any
such canard.
l am accused with being drunk
ard and keeper of a blind tiger.
! Those who know me know how false
this cruel charge is. l never was
drunk in my life, and never drank
enough whiskey to influence me eX-
cept the night l lost my arm.
l recognize that this is a free
country, with the right of each man
to decide for himself his habits, and
| have felt that it was for me to
so live as to retain the esteem and
confidence of those who know me
best.
l never sold a drop of whiskey,
no. do | expect to do SO.
1t is charged that l do not reside
in Terrell county. l have lived in
this county fifteen years, paid my
taxes, served on the jury, operated
my business and rendered such SER
vices to this county as other citi-
zens, and not until l asked for an
office did my opponents discover that
| did not reside here.
Providence has deprived me of one
of my arms but ! feel that | am
fully competent to perform the du-
ties of the office, and l most earnest
ly urge my friends to continue their
generous support until the 28th,
when l hope to be elected to the office
Of tax collector
Thanking all of you in advance
for many kindnesses, l am very re-
spectfully, j. o. RUSSELL.
