Although coming at an unexpected time, this event, however has been looked forward to by their many friends, but none expected it to happen so soon. All things being perfectly agreeable, the young couple quietly rode to the home of Rev. O.L. Peacock late in the afternoon and there received the vows that made them man and wife. Mrs. Wall is the only daughter of Judge and Mrs. A.M. Caskey and is one of the most excellent young women we ever reared in this county. By her amiable character she has gained the love and confidence of all who know her.

T.B. RAINEY DIES AT BUENA VISTA Sorrow must come to all, and oft-times when least expected, but one of the saddest and most unexpected deaths that has happened in this section for many years was that of Mrs. T.B. Rainey, occuring at her home in Buena Vista on last Thursday afternoon. The news of her death reached Ellaville by phone immediately after she had breathed her last, and her many relatives and friends here were wholly unprepared to recieve such a message, the shock coming so sudden. Mrs. Rainey was Miss Kitty Tyson before her marriage to Col. T.B. Rainey several years ago, both of Schley county. After their marriage, they moved to Buena Vista to begin their new life, where both had gained esteem and admiration of all the citizens of that place. Mrs. Rainey died in a stage of life when it seems that it is hardest for "mother" to have to go. She was about 28 years of age, and was a happy wife of her companion and a loving mother of four little children. Those who are left to miss her most shall have the full sympathy and love of all whose priviledge it may be to offer, by words or deeds, an act of condolence. Her remains were brought to Ellaville on the Friday morning's train, accompanied by a large host of symapthetic friends and in special charge of the Local Chapter of United Daughters of the Confederacy of Buena Vista, of which Mrs. Rainey was a much beloved member. In the presence of one of the saddest and most heart rendered congregations, the funeral services were conducted by Revs. R.F. Williamson and C.M. Ledbetter, of this place, at the Baptist church. Rev. Williamson's remarks were very touching indeed, as he called to mind that he had known Mrs. Rainey from her infancy to womanhood, having lived within a short distance of her, and that her life had always been one full of sunshine and cheer. The services were concluded at the grave, and her sweet spirit is now at rest, pronounced so by him who gave it, while her body lies silent in Ellaville's little "city of the dead." The News extends deepest sympathy to the bereaved father and the precious little children.

Dixon, had been shot and instantly killed by a band of negroes who at the time were unknown, also, a negro by the name of Roy Baisden was shot at the same time, dying from the effects of same on the following Monday. Coroner Teel held an inquest over both bodies and the evidence brought out on those investigations were about as follows: Saturday night, Mr. Dixon, in company with Baliff Jones and Messers. T.H. Walker, Chas. Mauk and Walter McCarrah (McGarrah?) left LaCrosse and went over to a piece of woods near by for the purpose of apprehending a crowd of negro "skinners." The negroes happened to detect the white party before they had gotten close enough to see exactly what was going on and all ran off, the white party firing one shot as the negroes ran. In a near by house a negro dance was in progress, and the white party returning home stopped by this place and it was here that Mr. Dixon became engaged in a difficulty with two negores, Roy Baisden and Ben Smith, the shooting, and his death, following as a result. The evidence showed that Mr. Dixon was quarreling with Roy Baisden, Ben Smith fired upon him twice, after which a general firing began and when the smoke cleared away, Mr. Dixon lay dead on the ground and close by was the negro Roy Baisden, mortally wounded. The negro Roy Baisden had no gun. The evidence showed that Bunk Black just previous to the shooting ran into the house and called for a pistol, and forthwith went back out the door just about in time to reach the scene of the shooting before it occured. The coroner's jury in the case of Mr. Dixon rendered a verdict of murder in the first degree and implicating Ben Smith and Bunk Black as the guilty parties, both of whom are now confined in the county jail.

ETHRIDGE By request of the family, I submit the following: W.T. Ethridge was born in the year 1850, was married to M.E. Murray, January 3rd, 1877, to this union were born 10 children, all in life except two, the deceased has two loving brothers, both in Texas. He was a member of the methodist church at Concord, this county. It was my pleasure to live close by him from the days of his boyhood until 1891. I found in him a quiet hightoned, honorable citizen, always considerate and kind to all, and was a good provider for his family, and I don't think I ever knew a kinder man in his family than he was, being of a gentle disposition, he had the confidence and respect of all who knew him. During his last illness, he, in his usual quiet manner told his family all about his business affairs giving direction indetail just as though he was going on a long visit. He called one of his daughters to his bedside, took hold of her hand and said, "Olia, what a strange fix I'm in," and asked her if she could see what he saw. Then pointing to the ceiling above his head and remarked "right there is the prettiest sight I have ever seen. Oh, so many flowers, and boys and girls with wings. Oh! how happy they look, and right there Olia, is some thing less than a bird. It has been coming and going all morning, always going right back to the same place." He constantly prayed to God for his children but never prayed to be restored to health, but said "just let me fall asleep." He frequently told the family not to grieve for him for he would soon be at rest. Just before death came, he said: "I have not lived up to the requirements of the Bible, but I feel like God has forgiven my sins, just put me away." The next day we met at the cemetery where we found a large concourse of his friends and neighbors assembled, and after brief services by the writer we laid his remains away to await the command of God on the resurrection at which time I believe he will be fully conformed to the image of Jesus, for I have long felt that God had been gracious to him in the pardon of his sins. He bore good fruit which is worth more than a mere profession. His wife passed away several years ago. Since then he has lived alone, except to have his children with him. Four boys and two girls constitute the family at home. In death this father told his children: "God will provide for you." Dear children, you have my sympathy and prayers, and may God enable each of you to emulate the life and example of your Father. May he sanctify this dispensation of His providence to your good, sustain you all in this life, and finally save you in death, at which time you may join your sainted Father in that good world beyond this vail of tears, where separation never comes and suffering and death cannot enter, there to spend and endless eternity around the dazling throne of God with the redeemed out of every nation of the earth. I hope to meet you there through the atonement of Jesus to praise, and gaze in awe and glorious wonder at the dear Saviour as the great centre of attraction. J.M.

ETHRIDGE DEAD After an illness of two weeks with pneumonia, Mr. W.T. Ethridge died at his home on last Tuesday afternoon. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.M. Murray at Concord church Wednesday. In the death of Mr. Ethridge we lose one of our truest and best citizens. At all times, under all circumstances, he walked in the well beaten path of righteousness and when fully conscious that he was nearing the last on earth, he appeared to be fully impressed with the idea that at the end of time eternity began, and that the bright faith which sustained him during those trying hours of suffering would only grow brighter as he journeyed toward the infinite, and the final gloom of death be dispelled by the radiance of God's love. Could all live the just and upright life Mr. Ethridge lived and die in his trusting faith, death could no longer be called "The King of Terrors" for he inspired no terror there.
