MRS. MAMIE DUGAS HORNSBY
DEAD.

Mrs. Mamie Dugas Hornsby is
dead.
To a large circle of friends this in
formation will be in the nature of
shock, for, while she has been in poor
health for some time, she had i'm
proved to such an extent as to be able
TO go to Boston for treatment, and
her friends were looking forward to
her return with the hope that she
would again be entirely restored TO
health.
Mrs. Hornsby was a member of one
of the best and oldest families in this
city, being the youngest daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs f. NJ. Dugas. All of the
members of this family are devoted
to each other, and so Mrs. Hornsby,
from birth, has enjoyed every com
fort, every protection and every low
ing care possible.
A few years ago she was married
to Mr.. w. S. Hornsby, one of Angus
ta's st-known and most successful
young business men, and only recent
ly he has built for her a modern,
complete and beautiful home, so that
Mrs. Hornsby, during her all too
brief life, has had showered upon her
every care and attention that loving
thoughtfulness could provide.
She leaves a husband, two beauti-
full little children, mother, father,
two brothers and other relatives to
mourn her loss.
We wish for each and every one of
them that solace which only our Lord
can give, and would have those who
mourn for her to remember that she
has lived a well-spent life, and has
/ left a beautiful heritage to her chill
dren. May the good Lord, who
watches over Israel and siumbers moi
nor sleeps, and who is father to the
fatherless and a mother to the mo
therless guide her children in the
paths of rectitude and right.
Ga. Baptsts.
The Blade joins with the host OF
friends in extending sympathy to the
bereaved family.
