IMR. CHAS. DAVIS DEAD.
Ono of th<CMo«t Hospitable Man In
Georgia Passes Away..
Mr. Chas Davis is dead. He passed
away at six o’clock last night at the city
hospital.
Charlie Davis as he was familiarly
called, was one of tho pest kuown men
in this part of Georgia. His home for
many ^ears had bceu qm forapnia L\l e
aud at his >house he has entertained'
many of tho notables of this laud. His
house was known far and near as a
hunting and fishing lodge, and great
lias been the pleasnre furnished |here
for tho good sportsman.
This section, of Georgia first’knew
Mr. Davis some 'fifty years'ago ns an
engineer on the old Atlantic & Gulf
railroad between TJiomosvillo and Sav
annah. Soon after the war he settled
ou Iamonia lake and began to dispense
hospitality to tho citizens of thirty states
Mrs Davis, his wife, died some fif teen
years ago and is buried on Laurel Hill

M. M. Fateh and n widely known lady.
Mr. Davis hod beeu in bad health for
some time. He was taken seriously
sick last week, and was brought up by
iiis friends from his country home u
the'hospital here. His age, about sit*
ty-flve, told against him, and all tiin«
science could do to save his life proved
vain.
