M. Green’ J. H. Bishop or Geo. R. Ponder. Mrs. Cora McCord Brown wife of Joseph M. Brown, former governor of Georgia, died Sunday afternoon at 12:30 at the family residence in Marietta, following an attack of heart trouble. Mrs. Brown had been in excellent health apparently and was preparing to attend church services when she was stricken, death occurred almost intantly. One of the best known women in the state, her gracious, engaging personality and high intellectual at tainments won hosts of throughout Georgia to whom the news of her passing will coma with* sincere sorrow. During the adminis tration of Governor Brown Bhe pre sided. at many social functions at the govenor’s mansion and was active in social affairs generally. It was as a home-maker, a dear neighbor, and the loveliest of friends of the Marietta young peo ple, however, that Mrs. Brown al ways will be remembered in that city. The charming old estate of the Brown family, its vast yard nr ancient oak grove for the generation has been a sort of rallying place-for Marietta’s younger set—for the “Saturday Night club” and similar informal orders, where the boys would get together and sing *he o’d songs that sound so well in the moonlight, and where the guis would gather for sewing or music or fudge as the cas e might he. Mrs. Brown was immensely popu lar with Marietta’s boys and girls, and as they grew into manhood and womanhood they never lost their affection for her. Often young wom en now out in the world following careers of their owrf, turned hack to the dear old hom e for visits of weeks—months, if they had the time at the Brown hpme always to be welcomed by the most cordial and warm-hearted of hostesses. Marietta never had another figure of whom th e young people looked up with quite the same feeling as for Mr3. Brown. Always taking a deep interest in women’s activities Mrs. Brown was a prominent figure in the United Daughters of the Confederacy, the Daughters of the American Revolu tion and the Marietta Woman’s Hub. She was a devout Christian, a mem ber of th e Frst Baptist church of Marietta, and active in the work cf the missonary society. ^ Mrs. Brown was 63 years m age She was born in Lincoln county ind Sunday School Convention 9-10 THE HIGH- KAISER TO WED BRIDE ATTIRED IN REGAL GARB j Berlin, October 24.—A regal | gown fit to sweep the marble halls i of an emperor’s palace will adorn the Princess Hcrmine of Schoeiur PROGRAM.
