Mr. Editor:—Last Sunday was one of Senoia’s saddest days. Two of our most esteemed citizens were buried. Mrs. Nancy Freeman died Saturday morning at 9 o’clock, and Mr. Thomas Drake that evening at 7 o’clock. Mrs. Freeman had been sick but a week or so. Mr. Drake has been declining for a year, and his death was not unexpect ed. The funeral of each was preached by Rev. Elim Culpepper at the Baptist church, Sunday. Their remains were followed to the city cemetery by as large, if not the largest, procession we have ever witnessed, evidencing the very high esteem in which both were held. Their respective ages were about 71 years. The better portion of their lives were spent in this community, and we feel well assured in saying their lives have been a blessing to others. We join with many others in feelings of condolence for the bereaved and suf fering relatives. A very serious accident occurred at Moody’s bridge, on Line creek, last Monday evening. Two young men, Mjessrs. Summers and Cannon, were on the Fayette county side of the bridge. On reaching the stream about 3 o’clock r. m., they found it very much swollen. They crossed the bridge, but found the water on this side very deep; and in their efforts to get through found it swimming. One of them, to save the animal from drowning, cut it loose and saved it. The buggy went down, and both the young men had to get hold of trees to keep from drowning. Mr. Sum mers managed to get up one high enough to keep out of the water. Mr. Cannon got hold of a small one that would not bear his weight out of the water and remained partly under wa ter. Both remained in this precarious situation from 3 i\ m. until 1 o’clock at night before they could he extricated. Their loud hallooing late in the eve ning attracted the attention of some parties, who gave the alarm, and by night there were some fifty people on the west side of the stream, and quite a number on the east side. All efforts to rescue them failed, and parties went several miles in the country for a canoe in order to relieve them. The sudden rise in the stream was unprecedented. Parties who crossed at 1 o’clock 1*. M. said it was inside its banks; yet at 3 o’clock,’in the swamp where the young men were, the depth was estimated at from ten to fifteen feet. There had been heavy rains Saturday night, and Mr. Wynn’s mill-dam was reported broken, which accounts for its rapid rise. That bridge and the one next above, at Mr. J. M. Arnall’s, are im passable. Whether other bridges on the same stream are damaged we have not been able to learn. We noticed an allusion in The Her ald and Advertiser last week of the deatli of a child as having become an angel. Such notices are not unusu al. We see them in some of the relig ious papers. However intense the be lief and desire for happiness in the life to come, the soul, 011 leaving this body, does not become nor is it transformed into that of an angel. There is no scrip tural authority for ar.y such notion, and we are decidedly of the opinion that a thorough Bible research would dispel all such illusions. Angels are messengers. We do not claim very high attainments in theology, but these are our riews. The types made 11s say something rather strange last week—those “half- rotted bolls of cotton,’’ for instance; though we confess our chirography is sometimes very hard to decipher, espec ially after it gets cold. Then “Betsy Hamilton”—but its all right. “Betsy” will be here according to appointment, and no doubt will be greeted by a very large and appreciative audience. This scribe may be included, as our curiosity has not all been gratified yet. We are havin Puckett’s. Mr. Editor:—Mr. P. I). Sims and family, who moved to Tallapoosa la$t winter, we are glad to hear are coming back to stay. They have been here re cently visiting relatives. Mr. Jeter Addy, of Senoia, spent a night here last week, cn route to Atlan ta, there to join Mr. Arthur Hutcheson for a trip North to buy goods. Mr. J. C. Fuller, from Atlanta, ac companied by Mr. Dunn, was here last week on a prospecting tour. Mr. Dnnti came down to look at Mr. Fuller's farm, where Mr. T. N. Bingham now resides. Mr. Dunn is a splendid man, brother to the late John N. Dunn, and we would be glad to have him cast his lot among us. Miss Lennie Couch has returned from a visit to relatives at Senoia. Miss Jennie Arnall, from Senoia, is visiting friends and relatives here this week. Miss Fannie Tea sly from Canton, Ga, visited Mrs. A. W. Bingham this week. en route for LaGrange Female College, where she will enter as a pupil of that school. Mrs. Ella Robinson, from Texas, is visiting her fathef’s family, Mr. T. N. Bingham. Miss Jennie Burpee, one of New- nan’s sweetest young ladies, , visited Miss Berta Camp last week. On account of bad went her and a disap pointment in getting the confectioner ies in time, the entertainment expect ed on Friday evening last by the school was postponed until Monday night last. However, we enjoyed a very pleasant, gathering at the Academy on Friday night. The dialogue rendered by Messrs. Arthur Camp, Willie Morris, Jake Bingham, and Luther Camp was splendid, and was greatly enjoyed by all present. ^londay night a still larg er crowd assembled and the little folks were very happy and played “Johnnie Brown” in as great glee as in “years agone.” The older people enjoyed so cial converse and looking on at the lit tle folks until 8:30 o’clock, when re freshments were handed around.' Then all hands took a lively part. Mr. R. A. llearn had a line mule to break his leg yesterday while crossing a boggy place in a pasture. M r. Jos. C. Hunt, of Grantville, lias accepted a position with I)r. Camp as bookkeeper and salesman, • and will be come a citizen of our town. A good many are wanting to move to Puckett’s. Why don’t somebody build some idee little dwellings to rent? Seems‘to me it would be a good invest ment. Work on the side track Iris fairly begun and we hope ere long to have accommodations equal to any town on- the road. The entertainment for Friday night is expected to he the event of the sea son. The young ladies are making pre parations for a nice affair, and we are expecting nothing else. Can’t “ye editor” and good lad}' come down? Sept. 13th. Zrr.ETts. Panther Creek. Mr. Editor:—It is my painful duty to report the death of young Mr. Rich mond Gurley, who died near Tallapoo sa, Git., on Tuesday, September 11, in his 23d year. lie was a son of Capt. ,L E. Gurley, late of this county. A no ble youth has fallen; a widowed moth er’s hopes are blighted. The family has the sympathies of this entire com munity. The school at Roscoe closed last Fri day. Children now go from the school room to the cotton patches. * Mrs. W. S. Copeland, whose sickness we mentioned in a former letter, died at her home in this district on Sunday last, at 4 i*. .m. She was taken with dropsy about seven years ago, and was a great sufferer until death relieved her. She bore her afflictions with Christian fortitude; and whde she de- I sired to live and raise her children, and a few sunny days, and ' to see them all members of the church, all the brick masons and carpenters are j yet often said that she was resigned to making nice headway on the brick store-house of Messrs. Hutcheson A Roberts. Mr. S. O. Smith is having his guano and cotton seed warehouse covered. Mr. O. H. Rogers has his house now ready for receiving and weighing cot ton. Mr. J. D. Goodman iof the firm of W. II. Ferguson & Co., 1 has just return ed from New York, and the many cus tomers of his house may expect soon to find a nice fall stock from which to make their selections. Mr. Jeter Addy is on a trip to New York, and the new store of Hutcheson A Roberts will be furnished with every thing necessary to attract and supply customers. We are sad to learn of the death of the wife of our young friend, Dr. J. M. Edwards, which occurred in Fayette ville last week. At this writing we know of no serious case of sickness in our community. Mr. J. H. Nolan and family have moved to Knoxville, Ga. He will en gage in the furniture trade, the will of the Master. The church has sustained a great loss in the death .of sister Copeland, her husband a lov ing and devoted companion, her chil dren a kind and affectionate mother, her neighbors an obliging friend; but their loss is her eternal gain. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. R. W. Hamrick. Farewell, mother! ui^ to Heaven Now thv happ.v soul has ilown To that God by whom 'iwas given; Bliss and life are no’v thine own. Years on years have pain and anguish, Toil a ltd care, thy heart oppressed, Causing health and hope to languish; But tnere is for thee a rest. Mr. G. P. Hodnett, of Haralson, made a brief visit to Atlanta this week. Sept. 19th. Vincent. To the grave we take thee, weeping. Where thou wilt in darkness lie In Death’s deep, long silence, steeping Till we all shall fade and die. And through ages still abounding Shall we in the grave remain, Till the last lond trumpet, sounding Summons us to life again. Farewell, mother! we’ll endeavor So to live while here Inflow That we may with thee, forever, Dwell where crystal fountains flow. Na other sickness to report. Qlf: little “Ripples’” have caught anefher sappling shote and we are hay ing good times at our house. Sept. 18th. Ripples. -rwrrcrrrtWwwoT 1
