DEATH OF GEO. A. SCOTT
The many friends in this section of that whole-souled , genial gentleman, and all who knew him loved him were inexpressibly shocked and grieved when the news was flashed over the wire, to his partner and friend here, Jas. W. Williamson of the sudden death from pneumonia of Geo. A. Scott, which occurred Wednesday morning at Baldwin, Fla. Mr. Scott was a citizen of this county for many years residing near Dexter, where he had and still has large turpentine interest. Some time last fall he moved his family to Columbia where they resided until about six weeks ago, when they moved to Baldwin, Fla., where Mr. Scott had with others leased and purchased the largest tract of pine land for turpentine exploitation in the south, if not in the United States. Mr. Scott, though a young man, had large business interest in several states and knew the naval stores business from start to finish. He stood high in fraternity circles, being a member of his home lodge of Masons in Georgia and of the order of Scottish Rite Masons. He was a member of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange and of the New Orleans Naval Stores Company and maintained an office at the latter building, where he was always at home to his friends. To be a friend to Geo. Scott was indeed a distinction to be prized for he was one of natures true nobleman, honorable, high toned and generous to a fault. His benefactions were many as he bestowed with an open hand to every needy call. He had a large loving heart and responded to every appeal, and the sudden termination of his career right in the prime of life is a calamity too deep for my words to express. To the wife and three little children, we can but tender our sincere and heartfelt sympathy in this, their hour of sore bereavement and grief. The remains were carried to his old home at Bainbridge, Georgia, for interment. Peace to the ashes of a good man.
