Death of Mrs. C. D. Smith, of Wat
kinsville.
Campbell Route 1, March 8. —
On Friday morning the death an
gel onterod tho home of Mr. C. D.
Smith, of Watkinsville, and took
therefrom the beloved wife and
mother, Mrs. Lillie Bertie Smith,
aged 27 years, 5 months and 26
days. She had been a great suffer
er from consumption and heart
disease and her death was not
unexpected. She left four small
daughters, the eldest not yet 8
years old, one sister Mrs. James
Barker, of Stoneville, two broth
ers, Watt and Jeter Craig, and a
host of friends and relatives to
mourn and sympathize with the
bereaved husband and his aged
mother, on whom the blow falls
heaviest. The burial services were
conducted by brother R. L. Wall
at Oak Ridge Baptist Church of
which she was a beloved and con
sistent member, after which her
remains were laid to rest in
church cemetery in the presence
of a large crowd of friends and
relatives.
May God comfort the bereaved
husband in this sore trial, and
may He who cares for even the
sparrows, watch over and protect
the orphan children. While we
weep not as thsse who have no
hope, let us all resolve by the help
of Him who doeth all things well,
to so live that we may some sweet
lay, meet our loved one in that
land where God shall wipe all
tears away for the land is the light
thereof.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are
o'er,
On the border land we left her,
Soon to meet and part no more.
Far beyond this world of changes,
Far beyond this world of caro,
We shall find our missing loved
one
In our Father's mansion fair.
Jesus while our hearts are bleed
ing
O'er the spoils that death has won,
We would at this solemn meeting
Calmly say "thy will be done."
Though cast down we're not for
saken,
Though afflicted not alone,
Thou hast given, thou hast taken,
Blessed Lord, "thy will be done,"
ONE WHO LOVED HER.
DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
CURED
by local application, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its nor
mal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh, which
is nothing but au inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by Catarrh) that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

Mr. Editor
Will give a few dots from Dil-
U.rd as I have not seen anything
in the Reporter from this section
lately.
People are now very anxious to
get out to work making prepara
tions for their crops, but the
weather is so changeable that they
have not been able to put in very
satisfactory time yet, but they
make the cross-ties get.
Mr. J. Wilson Mitchell has
about closed a deal for a lot of
nice timber of Mr. Jno. Williams,
of Pine Hall
Our public school is still going
on nicely. The school, I think, is
oonceded by the public to be one
of the most successful sessions
taught at this place for quite «
while, a great deal of this is due
to the fact that we bave two teach
ers this winter whereas before one
teacher had to battle along with
the work as bost they could. Fur
ther I would say that our teachers,
Misses Addie and Pattie Goolsby,
are not only making themselves
popular as teachers but the people
recognize them as ladies of high
social standing, the gentlemen of
our vicinity especially, and more
especially "bachelors."
The health of the people is be
ing considerably troubled with
cold, some few cases of pneumonia
have developed lately, but nothing
very serious that I have learned.
Mrs. Minerva Mitchell has been
quite sick for several days but we
learned was worse this A. M. We
hope she may recover soon.
Prof. A. J. Essex has decided to
take a rest for a while from his
musical work and is now with
Mitchell Bros, of this place con
ducting their mercantile business
where he hopes to be able to serve
his frieuds and make many new
ones on fair business principles.

Old Soldiers Pensions Increased By
the Legislature.
One of the best acts of the Leg
islature was the increase in the
allowance to the Old Confederate
soldiers. The appropriation was
raised from 1275,000 to $400,000.
This will give the pensioners about
a third more than they have been
receiving.
