COLONEL JOHN BARTOW DEAD.
PASSED AWAY AT ELBERTON THURSDAY LAST.

Colonel John Lowe Bartow, a distinguished western journalist and a man well 
known throughout this country, died last Thursday at Elberton, Ga., after a 
brief illness.
Colonel Bartow had been traveling through the south for some time and was well 
and prominently known in Georgia.  He has hundreds of friends in this section 
of the country and his death will be learned of with sorrow.
He was in Atlanta a few months ago and was well received here.  On being 
interviewed, he talked pleasantly and told many interesting experiences.
He had many fine traits in his character and was a gentleman of that 
distinguished school.  He conversed fluently on all subjects and impressed his 
listeners as being an exceedingly brainy man.  He was a man of deep thought and 
this together with his jocular and friendly manner won his friends wherever he 
went.
Colonel Bartow was prominently connected to a large number of secret orders, in 
which he had risen high.  He was a thirty degree Mason and was a leader in the 
society.  He was a Shriner and a Knight Templar.  In all these societies he 
held a prominent position and his death will be a loss to each of them.
Some months ago Mrs. Florence Long Bartow, the wife of Colonel Bartow, made a 
talk in Atlanta on "Mormonism."  Her talk was entertaining and instructive and 
drew a large crowd.  She will be remembdered by Atlantans as will her 
distinguished husband who has just passed away.
