NOT MORROW.
Man Acted Qucerly and Said
Was From Near Dallas.
He
Several years ago Sheriff
McGinnis, of Gordon county,
•was killed by a man named
Morrow, who made his escape.
A few weeks ago, however, a
man thought to be morrow
was arrested in Mississippi by
Detective Tomley, who im
mediately communicated with
Georgia officers. The man
In Memoriam.
Mrs. Lou Parker, wife of H.
V. Parker, died at her
home near Hiram January
20th. She was born August
12th, 1861, and married Nov.
10th, 1873.
Although she had been sick
for many months and her
death was not unexpected, it
came as a heavy blow to her
family and many friends. She
bore her afflictions with pa
tience and Christian fortitude,
arrested seemed to be familiar
with the Morrow-McGinnis
tragedy, consequently he was
thought to be Morrow him
self, but proved not to be.
In connection with the
above brief explanation we
copy the following from the
Rome Herald under date of
January 23rd:
“Deputy Sheriff W. G. Dun-
ahoo, of Floyd county, and
Deputy Sheriff Bryant, of
Gordon, returned yesterday at
noon from Choctaw county,
Mississippi, where they had
gone to identify the man
thought to be Morrow, want
ed for the murder of Sheriff
McGinnis.
“The two officers arrived in
Mississippi Friday morning
about ten o’clock, and as soon
as the man under arrest was
seen, proved not to be Mor
row, but said that his name
was N. E. Elliott, and that he
was from Paulding county,
near Dallas, this state.
. “Sheriff Weaver and Detec
tive S. C. Tomley caused the
detention of this man who
gave his name as Elliott be
cause lid had been living in
the swamps of Mississippi and
acted if he was hiding from
somebody. Elliott, it seems,
knew all about the McGinnis-
Morrow tragedy, and had been
talking of it to parties who
were his neighbors.
“Being from Georgia, this
aroused the suspicion of the
Mississippi officials. Elliott
although he has a wife now
living in Paulding county
which he does not deny, yet
he is living with another in
Mississippi.
“There being no charges
against him out there he was
released from custody, and
the Georgia officers returned
home right away.”
Poison in Food.
Perhaps you don’t realize that
many pain poisons originate in
your food, but some day you
may feel a twinge of dyspepsia
that will convince you. Dr.

often expressing a desire to
go and be with her Savior,
She gave her heart to Jesus
when quite young, and joined
the Methodist church at Flint
Hill, and remained a consist
ent member until God re
moved her to the church tri
umphant.
It was not the writer’s privi
lege to be at her bedside when
the grim monster came, but
for hours before she died she
talked to loved ones and told
them she was going, but said
she was not afraid, and would
clap her hands and shout,

Glory, Hallelujah! She said thing else in the jewelry line
that Alice, (that is her daugh
ter who died two years ago,)
had come and was going to
sing fer her as she passed
through the pearly gates.
She was a loving and indul
gent mother, and a devoted
wife. She leaves a husband
and two children, an aged
mother and one brother, Mr.
G. O. Lovinggood, of New
port, R. I., and many rela
tives and friruds to mourn her
demise, but we do not mourn
for her as those who have no
hope, for we all feel that she
is basking in the glorious sun
light of Heaven.
Blessed are the dead who
die in the Lord, and may it
please God that, we may all
come to the margin of the
river of death as calm as this
loved one, and fall to sleep on
our Savior’s breast and
breathe out our life without a
groan or struggle as she did.
Oh, may we all meet her and
strike hands with her and a
host of loved ones on the
banks of sweet deliverance.
Oh, the meeting, how swoetly dear,
What sounds shall greet the listening ear,
What thrills of rapture wakes the soul,
As buck those golden gates shall roll.
