Wright was accompanied to Atlanta Tuesday night by a delega tion of Mystic Shriners, who went along for the purpose of seeing him safely conducted “across the burning sands” in a picturesque ceremonial at Yaarab Temple.

McConaughy, which occurred Wednesday morning at her home in Holdrege, Neb. Mrs. Mc Conaughy had been in poor health for several months, and her death was not unexpected. She visited Newnan a short time ago, spending the months of November and December with her daughter here, and was not well then. After leaving Newnan she declined rapidly, and finally passed away at her home on the date mentioned. Deceased was 72 years of age, and is survived by her aged husband and three children— Mrs. J. L. Barge, of this city, C. W. McConaughy, of Holdrege, Neb., and R. C. McConaughy, of Cincinnati, 0. Mr. and Mrs. Habersham King, of Atlanta, announce the engagement of their daughter. Belle Vernon, to Mr. John Caldwell Porter. The announce ment of Miss King’s approaching mar riage will be of great interest here, where she numbers her friends by the score, and is a general society favorite. For several years Miss King has made her home with her uncle, Mr. J. Neph ew King, at his attractive suburban home, Beverly Hall. No young man in Rome stands higher in social or business circles than Mr. Porter. Coming here from Alabama a few years ago, he has made many friends. He is vice-presi dent of the State Mutual Life Insur ance Co., and general manager of the Rome Industrial Insurance Co. He holds an enviable position in the finan cial and commercial circles of Rome, being on a number of directorates. The wedding is to be a home affair, and will take place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. King, 622 North Bou levard, Atlanta, Wednesday evening, April 1^4.—Rome Tribune-Herald. Mr. Robert Freeman Herring and Miss Christine Arnold gave their friends a pleasant surprise Monday by slipping off to Moreland and getting married. The wedding took place at the Methodist parsonage in Moreland, the ceremony being performed by Rev. T. R. Kendall, jr. The first intimation that a nuptial alliance between these young people was even contemplated came in the shape of a message over the ’phone after the marriage had been consummated, and caused a mild sensation. They were given a cor dial reception upon their return to Newnan, and showered with con gratulations from their many friends. The bride is the attractive daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Arnold, and before her marriage was one of Newnan’s most popular girls. The groom is equally popular among the younger set, in which both he and his bride have been prominent figures. He is also prominent in business circles, being a member of the well-known in surance and real estate firm of Herring & Parks. The Herald and Advertiser extends its best wishes to the young couple. There is a movement on foot among our merchants to open a woman’s ex change at some central point in the city for the convenience of ladies who come to Newnan from the country and neighboring towns to do their shopping. It is proposed to have the exchange fit ted with a lavatory and toilet, and neatly furnished with chairs, lounges and tables. A stewardess will be in charge to look after the comfort of those who, fatigued from shopping, desire a place at which to rest or to leave their parcels. In fact, the ex change will be made attractive as well as comfortable, and all out-of-town shoppers and visitors will be cordially invited to make themselves at home there any hour of the dav. This ser vice will be absolutely free, the ex pense of maintaining the exchange be ing borne by the dry goods merchants of the city. The Ofty Council may also be asked to make a small appropriation towards defraying the expense, which will not exceed $36 or $40 per month. A woman’s exchange is a public con venience which Newnan has needed for many years, and it is hoped that the movement will be successful. of going to press the following cases had been disposed of, to wit: Isaiah Wilkinson; murder; guilty, with recommendation to mercy.
