NEWNAN, FRIDAY, JAN. 29.
The Editor Can't Know Everything.
A good lady made complaint because
we failed to chronicle an item of news
in which she was the principal. We
knew nothing of the happening at all.
We have been endeavoring to learn by
intuition for many years, or to see things
with the vision of a clairvoyant, but we
have not succeeded. We only know
things when people tell them to us. If
this lady had written us a line, sent us
word, or called us over the ’phone and
told us the news, the local would cer
tainly have found its way into our col
umns. Please let us know the news,
and rest assured that we will appreci
ate it. Don’t feel too modest to tell us
when someone visits you, a marriage,
death, entertainment, or any other
news local. It delights us to get the
information.—Jefferson Herald.
The same conditions exist in Mariet
ta as in Jefferson. It is impossible for
us to hear of everything that occurs in
all parts of the county and in Marietta,
unless somebody writes us. ’phones us.
or tells us. Tell us the news, please,
and we will be glad to publish it.-—

Death of a Good Woman.
The death of Mrs. Lavana Kirby,
which occurred on Friday afternoon
last, removed from our midst one of
Newnan’s most estimable and lovable
women, and the event is mourned by
the entire community. She had been
in poor health for sev ul months, but
was confined to her bed but little more
than a week. Her last hours were peace
ful, the comforting presence of all her
children around the bedside seeming to
inspire her with renewed fortitude for
the final struggle. The end came at 1
o’clock Friday afternoon.
Deceased was the widow of the late
John T. Kirby, and all the years of her
long and useful life were spent in Cow
eta county. Until seven or eight years
ago she and her husband made their
home in the Third district, and there
was not a happier or more hospitable
home in the county. Shortly after
coming to Newnan her husband died,
his demise being as much lamented
throughout the county as her own
death now is. She was a splendid wo
man, useful to her church and to socie
ty. and loved and appreciated by all
who knew her. At the time of her
death she was 71 years of age. She
leaves six children, three daughters
and three sons—Mrs. L. P. Thomas of
Little Rock. Ark., and Mrs. G. E.
Croft, Miss Ina Kirby. Jos. T. Kirby.
W. VV. Kirby and B. H. Kirby, ot New
nan.
The funeral took place Saturday af
ternoon at the First Baptist church,
and was largely attended. Services
were conducted by her pastor, Rev. J.
F. Singleton, assisted by all the min
isters of the city. The interment was
at Oak Hill.

Senoia Enterprise-Gazette, 28th inst.
Miss Lyda Mae Entrekin left last
week for Polk county, where she will
assist her sister at Fulworth Springs
school. The attendance at that school
is gradually increasing and an assistant
teacher was a necessity.
The Ware-Nixon Co. are adding an
other floor to their store-room, and very
soon will put in an up-to-date line of
furniture. These are wide-awake bus
iness men and will make themselves
felt in their new line of business.
Among the pretty home weddings of
the season was that of Miss Dollie Bob
Hardy and Mr. Odis Florence Nixon,
which occurred Wednesday evening at
5:30 o’clock at the beautiful home of
the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C.
Hardy. The parlor and hall were love
ly in their decorations of bamboo, smi-
lax, ferns and choice cut flowers, while
the staircase was artistically decorated
with pretty vines. Mrs. Hardy was
assisted in receiving the guests by
Misses Nan Sims. Hattie Parks and
Louise Mobley, all of whom looked
charming in directoire gowns. At the
signal for the approach of the bridal
party Miss Dorothy Powers sweetly
sang “Forebodings.” Mrs. Shelly Hud
dleston played the wedding march, and
the happy couple descended the stair
case, entered the parlor and stood in
front of an improvised bank of ferns,
palms and ivy, while the ceremony was
impressively performed by Rev. E. W.
Jones. During the ceremony “Hearts
and Flowers” was played by Mrs. Shel
ly Huddleston. The bride was gowned
in a beautiful blue traveling suit, with
hat and gloves to match, and carried a
bouquet of ferns, white hyacinths and
carnations. Miss Hardy never looked
prettier than on this happy occasion.
She is the eldest daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. J. C. Hardy, and is of a sweet
disposition, and will make an ideal com
panion for the man who has been for
tunate enough to win her for his wife.
Mr. Nixon is a member of the well-
known firm of Ware-Nixon Co., and is
an honest, upright young man, and
numbers his friends by the score. Mr.
and Mrs. Nixon left on the 6 :32 train
for Atlanta. They will be at home to
their friends in the Crouch residence
after this week. The presents received
were numerous and handsome.

Resolutions of Respect.
ADOPTED BY THE CENTRAL BAPTIST SUNDAY-
SCHOOL, NEWNAN. GA., IN MEMORY OF MRS.
EDNA RUSSELL PARROTT, WHO DIED
DEC. 29, 1908.
" ’Tift not the whole of life to live,
Nor all jf death to die.”
On the evening of the 29th of Decem
ber, 1908, the sweet spirit of Mrs. Edna
Russell Parrott took its flight home.
From our short-sighted human stand
point it does seem that her summons
was untimely. She was young: a wife;
the mother of a little daughter, who
was just a babe. Her home was one of
the most ideal homes we have known.
She was a woman of superior intelli
gence--an hohor graduate of the New
nan schools, and of Wesleyan College.
She was a bright spirit in a circle of
loving friends; an enthusiastic worker
in the cause of Christ. She was a
blessing to those among whom she
lived. To her, life before her must
have seemed a long, glad song. God
touches her, “and angels sing her to
rest.”
“Go to the grave in all thy glorious prime;
In full activity of zeal and power,
A Christian cannot die before his time;
The Lord’s appointment is the servant’s hour.”
Mrs. Parrott was a devoted wife, a
loving daughter and sister, a true
friend. She was deeply spiritual, and
an ardent and active worker in relig
ious work. For sume years she had
been a teacher in this Sunday-school of
a class of little girls. The mutual love
of teacher and pupils was beautiful.
The class was to her a constant source
of interest and joy. She kept in touch
with the hearts of her pupils as few
teachers do. She spent much time
seeking ways of arousing their eager
interest, and of delighting them. Nev
er a Christmas came that each little
girl did not receive some dainty and
loving remembrance from her teacher.
It is an evidence of her faith in the
Sunday-school, and of her motherly
longing for the Scriptural training and
the spiritual welfare of her little babe,
that she made the request that the
name of the little one be entered upon
the roll of the Sunday-school.
We know our beloved friend is not
dead ; she has just begun to live. Je
sus said: “I am the resurrection and
the life; he that believeth in me.
though he were dead, yet shall he
live.” To our short-sighted vision her
end seems indeed premature—“like an
untimely frost upon the sweet flower
of all the field;” and yet we know that
our Heavenly Father sees from the be
ginning through the everlasting, and
we know He makes no mistakes. Her
death is indeed an aching sorrow to us
who loved her, and yet we question not
God’s mercy and goodness; we ques
tion not that “He does all things for
the best.” We submit with humility
and trust to His will. Therefore, be
it—
Resolved, That in the death of our
friend and sister our church and Sun
day-school have lost a consecrated
member, a zealous worker, and we have
sustained a deep sorrow.
Resolved, That we extend our ten-
derest sympathies to the family in this
hour of grief and sore bereavemen ,
and commit them to the loving mercies
of our Heavenly Father.
Resolved, That this memorial be re
corded upon the minute book of this
Sunday-school, that a copy be given to
the family, and that a copy be sent

A Noble Woman Has Passed Away.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun, 26th inst. *
After a lingering illness, 1 during
which she received the tenderest atten
tions from the members of her devot
ed family and numerous manifestations
of the love of her friends, Mrs. Frances
Charlotte Crichton passed away at 6
o’clock Sunday morning at her home,
No. 1343 Second avenue. Her condition
steadily grew weaker through the long
hours of Saturday night, and her spirit
gently passed away with the dawn of
the Sabbath morn. Mrs. Crichton had
lived in Columbus from early childhood,
and was among the best-known and
best-beloved women in the city. She
was born of Swiss-German parentage,
and was the only surviving daughter
of Francesca Tronniger and John
Schnell. Her parents made America
their adopted country when she was 3
years old. At 8 she was orphaned, she
and one younger brother escaping the
ravages of the yellow fever epidemic
that almost depopulated the city of
Apalachicola, Fla. Reared by Mr. and
Mrs. G. W. Parker, she grew up to
young womanhood on their farm 10
miles from Columbus. Early in life
she was united in marriage to one of
the pioneer merchants of Columbus,
Mr. B. T. Gronbeck, of Copenhagen.
Denmark. The three children born of
this union were Thomas Andrew,
George Washington and Frances Petrea.
all deceased. Her second marriage was
to Mr. Charles Crichton, a native of
Amonock. Ayrshire, Scotland, the sur
viving children of this union being:
Mr. David Charles Crichton, of Perrine,
Fla.; Miss Jessie Inglis Crichton, of
Columbus; Mrs. Lyman E. Wells, of
Jacksonville; Miss Georgia Gronbeck
Crichton, Miss Hettie Elizabeth Crich
ton and Mr. William J. McAllister
Crichton, of Columbus; Mrs. B. B.
Mabson, of Newnan, Ga. ; and Mr. R.
R. H. Crichton, of Jacksonville. Fla.
Mr?. Crichton was a member of the
Protestant Episcopal church.
The funeral services yesterday after
noon, which were largely attended,
were conducted by Rev. H. Baldwin
Dean and the Rev. S. Alston Wragg.
The floral offerings, of which there
were a very great number, were of ex
quisite beauty. A quartette composed
of Mrs. Barschall Andrews, Mrs. Rog
er Page, Mrs. Clarence Bush and Mrs.
Henry Spang sang tenderly “One
Sweetly Solemn Thought.”
She was laid to rest in Linwood cem
etery, and as the solemn service was
said at the grave a songbird nearby
trilled its sweetest and purest notes.
The pall-bearers were Messrs. C. A.
Lovelace. Richard Howard, C. B. Gib
son, W. W. Curtis, John Albrecht and
George J. Burrus.
He—“I wonder why Miss Howells
always has to be coaxed before she will
sing?”
She—“Oh, as a matter of self-pro
tection. I imagine.”
He—“Self-protection?”
She—“Yes; by waiting to be coaxed,
she always manages to shift the
blame.”
