Q. Nolan which occurred at her home in McDonough last Sunday morning. Georgia lost one of her noblest and most charming women. She was one of the most deservedly popular women we have ever known, and the announcement of her death has carried sorrow into many homes, throughout this state, and her hometown, McDonough, it is universal sorrow. Mrs. Nolan was a beautiful woman. She was accomplished in music, art and literature. In the presence of others she was an unaffecting as a little child, and it was by the inate (?) goodness of heart, and the evident purpose of her mind, to cherish all that was good, that she won friends who loved her with a pure and an unselfish devotion. Responding to every cry of distress that reached her ears, Mrs. Noland was a veritable ministering angel in the homes where misfortune had gone. She was a great organizer of public charities and enterprising movements, because everybody had confidence in her unselfish intentions, her judgment and her intuitive perceptions of right. Mrs. Noland could always be depended on to do and to say the right thing at the right time, and now that her beautiful life has ended in the high meridian of its usefulness the people of her town are bowed in sadness. But deep as in their grief they do not know that what they have lost; nor does the faint husband who would have gladly given his own life in exchange for that of its dear wife. They are shocked by a blow, for some wise but mysterious purpose, directed from out the Providences of God, and they must learn their loss by steps that are as gradual and inevitable as the approaching years themselves. The Argus tenders its sympathy to McDonough. It especially tenders to the bereaved husband its heartiest and most sincere sympathy and assures him that while his loss is irreparable he may find consolation temporarily in the thoughts that his grief is being warmly shared by others.
