Obituary.
Mrs. Elizabeth S. Little died
Newuan, May 5th, 1887. She was
b->rn near Madison, Ga., May lotb,
1821.
She was descended from a distin
guished family; was the daughter of
Louise Brantley; she was related to
tne late Dr. W. T. Brantly, one of the
most accomplished ministers in the
Southern pulpit; also, to Dr. F. M.
Brantly, a leading physician and cit
izen of Senoia. She was married to
Harvey Little February 13th. 1S45.
Sister Little made a public profes
sion of religion and united with the
Baptist church in Newnan in 1859.
Her excellent moral traits, kinduess
<>f heart and consistent Christian de
portment won for her the esteem of all
who knew her. Lite is not a failure
when it acquires by merit from au en
tire community ‘‘a good name.” In
her humble sphere she wou that title.
Her long suffering—having %een
stricken with paralysis several years—
brought out prominently her Chris
tian character. "Patience, experience
and hope” were developed iu her suf
•erings. They purified and prepared
her for the higher and better sphere,
rilie died the death of the righteous.
‘‘Blessed are the dead that die iu the
Lord.” Pastor.

A Successful Operation.
Last Saturday Dr. T. J. Jones per
formed au operation which, consider
ing the difficult and delicate Dature
of the case, is deserving of notice.
Henry Moreland, a colored youth of
Grantville, has been suffering for sev
eral years from a diseased eye, and
the pain finally became so severe that
he could not rest day or night. A
few days ago he placed himself under
the treatment of Dr. Jones, who for
several years past has made a spe
cialty of diseases of the eye, ear end
throat. After an examination Dr.
Jones-decided that the mflammatiOD
could be reduced only by removing
the eye-ball, and this he did most suc
cessfully last Saturday. The opera
tion was wituessed by Dr. C. D.
Smith, Dr. G. W. Peddy and Dr. T. B.
Davis, who speak in highly compli
mentary terms of the skillful manner
in which the operation was performed.
The patient returned borne Saturday
afternoon aDd at last accounts was
rapidly recovering from the effects of
the operation.
Dr. Jones has bat recently returned
from New York, where he spent three
months taking a special course of
lectures Iu the leading medical insti
tutions of that city, and devoted
much of bis time to the study of oph
thalmic and aural diseases. He also
gave special attention to diseases of
the throat, and is equipped with all
necessary appliances for treating this
troublesomecomplaint, as well as dis
eases of the eye and ear.
He has a fine collection of instru
ments and mechanical appliances of
one sort and another, having receutly
made au outlay of five or six hundred
dollars iu this direction.
We are proud of the medical fra
ternity of Newnan. No town In the
State can boast a more accomplished,

The Longstreet Agricultural Club.
Sharpsburg, Ga., April 29th.
The Longstreet Agricultural Club
met. President C. L. Moses in the
chair.
After reading and’adopting the min
utes of the last meeting the sunject
"Peas” was taken up aud well dis
cussed. Mr. J. B. Goodwyn made au
iuterestlug speech on pea culture,
showing the sad aeglect of this most
valuable crop. Instructive speeches
were also made by Messrs. W. 8. Mc
Donald, Monroe Walton, J. D. Ar
nold, R. A. North and others.
The next subject *aben up was—
‘‘Should political discussions enter in
to our meetings?” This was ably
championed by Mr. J. Y. Carmical,
and after mucb debate the following
substitute was passed: ‘-That a pro
gramme should be arranged tor each
meetiug, which should be strictly ad
hered to until disposed of by the
body.”
Tue subject chosen for the next
meeting was “Corn Culture,” which
promises to be very interesting, in
volving the much disputed points—
“planting in the moon” aDd “root
pruning.” Let him who knows speak.
A gentleman from Texas was ex
pected to address the Club.on the
“Farmers’ Alliance jf Texas,” but
failed to appear—probably from mis-
uuderstaudiug the day for meeting,
which is not the first Saturday, but
Saturday before the first Sunday in
each moDth. The next meeting will
be Saturday, June 4th.

Our Panther Creek correspondent
furnishes the following particulars of
the suicide of a former well-known cit
izen of Coweta county, which oc
curred in that vicinity on Wednesday
Mr. John H. Reid came down from
Atlanta last Sunday afternoon and
got off at Newnan. The next after
noon he procured a conveyance and
went out to the h.>me of Mr. J. B.
Newton, in Panther Creek district,
with whom he purposed stopping sev
eral days. Before retiring Tuesday
uight he remarked to Mr. Newton
that he had a dose of morphine which
his physician had prepared for him;
that he did not feel well and believed
he would lake it. He thereupon
stepped out into tbe yard and took the
potion, remarking to Mr. Newton tbat
if he was beard to make any strange
noise during the night to pay no at
tention to it; that he was subject to
heart disease and liable to die at any
moment. Wednesday morniDg Mr.
Newton went to bis room and endeav
ored to arouse bim. He roused up for
a moment and drowsily asked the
time of day. Mr. Newton told him
it was after sunrise. Reid then
turned over and said be would be all
right presently. Mr. Newton left him
aud came to town lo consult Dr. C. D.
Smith concerning the case, ? ho ad
vised the usual treatment necessary
in such emergencies. When Mr.
Newton returned at dood he found
Reid still asleep. During his absence
Mrs. Nekton had tried, several times
to arouse him, but without success.
Late in the afternoon Dr. J. R. Sew
ell was dispatched for, but when be
arrived Reid was so completely undar
the influence of the deadly drug as to
be beyond the reach of medical aid,
and at ten minutes past 8 o’clock he
breathed his last.
Reid formerly resided in this coun
ty. but moved to Atlanta two or three
years ago. For several years previo is
lo bis death he was engaged in the
cattle business and was well known
throughout the county. He leavis a
wife and three children, who were
informed of bis death yesterday morn
ing by telegraph. No cau -e can be as
signed for the act. It is reported that
