Platt and Mrs. R. J. Barnett were out driv ing, when one of the wheels of the bug gy came oil' and the vehicle was cap sized. Both ladies were thrown out, Mrs. Barnett striking Ihe ground with such violence as to fracture both bones of the right arm just above the wrist. The accident occurred just beyond Pearl Spring Park, and by the time Mrs. Barnett reached town she was suffering much pain from the injury. The fractured member was set by Dr. G. W.

Hammond, died Wednesday at the home of her son-in-law, Col. A. D. Adair, in Atlan ta'—aged 85. Deceased resided in New nan many years ago, but in 1862 re moved with her husband and children to Atlanta, and was making her home in that city at the time of her death. She was a brilliant woman, and is yet remembered with warm regard and ad miration by many of our older resi dents. Her husband died in 1891. The remains were brought to Newnan yes terday afternoon and laid to rest in the family lot in Oak Hill cemetery. The funeral was largely attended. Mr. Henry Dyer, on whose farm in Panther Creek district the remains of “Hellnation” Smith, the Revolutiona ry soldier, lie buried, was in the city Wednesday. In a conversation with Judge W. B. W. Dent regarding the obscure and neglected resting-place of the old soldier, Mr. Dyer stated that the burying-ground referred to in The Herald and Advertiser last week had been obliterated before he came into possession of the farm, and the land put in cultivation. He said, however, that he would be glad to assist in lo cating the grave and removing the re mains to Newnan, or to some other point where they might be given de cent sepulture. Judge Dent will go out to the Dyer farm to-morrow or early next week and render what aid he can to the same end.
