Fred Brinson Dead.
News was received in the city a
few days ago of the death of Mr.
Fred Brinson, which occurred last
week. We have no particulars of
his death. He is a young man well
remembered in Barnesville. He
graduated at Gordon Institute three
years ago and was one of the most
popular young men who ever went to
school here. He was a splendid
young man and he had a very prom
ising future before him. The news
created much sadness among all his
acquaintances.
Mr. Rose Sick.

chronicle the illness of Mr. C. P.
Rose. He has been confined to his
room for several days with fever, and
his pthysician, Dr. A. P. Kemp, fears
that he will have a protracted illness.
His friends wish an early recovery
for him.
