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.

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, ski llful or intelligent set of physicians. The Longstreet Agricultural Club.

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.

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 uak'iel swint. Clerk Superior Court.
