DEATH OF
[API. BROIL
Prominent Citizen ofCassYille Pass
es Away Yesterday Morning-
DEATH THE RESULT OF A FALL
From a Barr Loft Week Before
Last-Funeral Today— lnterment
Will Be Made at Oak Hill.
Capt, William B. Browne breath
ed his last, at his home at Cassville,
yesterday morning at o’clock.
The circumstances of Capt.
Brown’s death are peculiarly sad.
Two weeks ago he was in excellent
health and Friday, the sth, he was
in town attending to business,
meeting his friends cheerfully as
usual.
That night he went to his barn
and was walking on the second
floor, when his foot slipped, he lost
his balance and fell head first to
the ground, a distance of twelve
feet. He was carried to the house
unconscious and lingered so prac
tically until the end. His head
received a severe hurt and the doc
tors early looked at his condition
with the darkest misgivings.
Everything that medical skill and
human hands could do was done.
His brother, C. N. Browne, and
niece from Tennessee, were among
those who came to aid in watching
and administering to him.
Capt, Browne was in his 64th
year and was born in Carter coun
ty, Tenn. He entered the service of
the confederacy in 1862 in a regi
ment from his state and fought
through gallantly to the end.
After the war he married Miss
Maud Overby, of Mount Olivet,
Ky., and made Kentucky his
home up to about twenty-two years
ago, when he moved to this locality,
purchasing what is now the Rich
ardson farm and making of it a
model stock farm. He sold out
and moved back to Kentucky and
remained there a short while only,
returning about twelve years ago

and buying the place where he
died.
This home was in the edge of
Cassville, was previously owned
by his brother, Dr. Browne, and is
considered one of the most valua
ble small farms in Georgia. Capt.
Browne, in returning to Georgia,
said he had formed such an attach
ment to the friends he had made in
this state that he wanted to re
main with them the balance of his
days. He was as thorough a gen
tleman as Bartow county ever
claimed as a citizen. Honorable,
kind-hearted, public-spirited, caa
did, genial, energetic, his life was
one worthy of emulation. He val
ued the friendship of his fellow
citizens, which seemed his univer
sally but modestly declined to con
sider appeals that were frequently
made to him to run for office. He
was a member of the Methodist
church and prominent in all dhurch
work, and his piety was the kind
that endured the vicissitudes of
life and shone with brilliancy at
all times.
He leaves a wife but no child-
ren; also three brothers, C. N.
Browne, of Washington county,
Tenn.; Isaac Browne, of Hamlin
county, Tenn., and Dr. M. L.
Browne, of Kentucky,
The funeral will occur from the
Methodist church at Cassville to
day. The remains will be interred
at Oak Hill, this city.

GAMBLER GANG
BROKEN UP.
Officers Suprise Negroes Engaged
in Skin Game
THEY WERE IN A CORN FIELD-
They Flee In the Darkness But Are
Afterwards Caught and
Plead Guilty.
Cartersville’s two marshals, J.
A. Henderson and W. E. Goode,
made a lively scene as they came
upon a gang of negroes playing
cards in a corn field, back of the
gas works, on Sunday night, the
7th instant.
The officers got Bud Jones to
accompany them, They had wind
of playing going on somewhere
in the locality and proceeded cau
tiously through the corn until they
got close enough to hear a mum
bling of words and see the reflect
ions of a light. They went to cir
cling the spot and closing in on
their game when some one of the
crowd stepped on a dry corn stalk
and made a rattling noise which the
negroes all heard. As quick as a
flash the light was out and the
negroes were fleeing in all direct
ions. One of the gang, Bud
Combs, was caught.
The cards with which they had
been playing, a lot of money and
a sling shot used in the game,
which is called “skin,” were se
cured.
Since then other members of
the gang have been arrested, one
at a time, by officers Henderson
and Goode. They have all plead
guilty in the city court and were
fined S4O to SSO or work in the
chain gang. Among those caught
are: Bud Combs, Sam McCoy, Ed
Weaver, Charlie Ransom, Ed
Kincaid, Eph, Webb, Sam Mcßev
nolds, Bob Eampkin, Will Durant
and Banks Parks.

Latest Fashion Note-
TAILOR-MADE GOWNS OF LIGHT
GREY CHEVIOT.
What is more fetching than a
womau of perfect figure and distin
guished bearing clad in a severely
plain tailor-made gown? The very
fact that these gowns are more
rarely seen than formerly gives
them a greater distinction of ap
pearance. As they depend entirely
upon cut, material, and finish for
their effiect, everything for such a
gown wust be carefully chosen
and of th* best quality. The suit
illusrrated was of cheviot of a very
light grey, the gored skirt being of
the most approved cut, close fitting
in the upper portion, flaring below
the knees, and flushed merely
by several rows oi stitching of
Corticelli silk in\ self color.
The single breasted-close fitting
body coat had a Tiny added
basque, mounted at tIA sides with
a curving hip seam. collar
and sleeve finish hardly ip be called

facing of smooth finished cloth
exactly matching the cheviot, and
pierced in a Persian pattern, this
being overlaid upon figured panne
in very brilliant colorings, the
touch of color giving the gowns an
individuality all its own.
