One of us two must some time face existence Alone with memories that but sharpen pain, And these sweet days shall shine back in the dis tance Like dreams of summer dawns in nights of rain. One of us two, with tortured heart half-broken, Shall read long-treasured letters through salt tears— Shall kiss with anguished lips each cherished token That speaks of these love crowned, delicious years. One of us two shall find all light, all beauty. All joy on earth, a tale forever done— Shall know henceforth that life means only duty; O God! O God!—have pity on that one! or four years ago. He leaves twelve children, besides numerous other rela tives, Mr. T. A. Brown, of this city, [ being a brother. Samuel Herring, Who was paralyzed four weeks ago, died Saturday, Kith inst., at his home in Morleand. The funeral was held at the Baptist church, and the interment was in Southview cemetery, Rev. T. R. Kendall, jr., officiating. A large crowd was present to witness the last sad rites. Hon. Jos. T. Kirby wishes the name and address of every Confederate vet eran, and of every widow of a Confed erate soldier who was married prior to Jan. 1, 1870, now residing in Coweta county. He desires this information in order that he may vote intelligently upon such measures as may be pro posed when the General Assembly meets to carry out the provisions of the Constitutional amendment adopted at the last State election. This amend ment authorizes the payment of a pen sion to “every Confederate soldier, and to the widow of every Confederate sol dier who was married prior to Jan. 1, 1870, V provided said soldier or soldier’s widow is not worth over $1,500 also, to that class of widows who had a hus band killed in the Civil War, has since remarried, and is now a widow. The amount of the annual pension to be paid the beneficiaries must be fixed by law when the Legislature meets, and will depend largely upon the number to be provided for. The information re quested by Mr. Kirby does not apply to veterans and widows who are al ready on the pension roll. Saturday morning Judge W. B. W. Pent drove out to the Dyer farm, in Panther Creek district, and with the as sistance of Mr. W. H. Dyer soon loca ted the grave of Wm. Smith, the old Revolutionary soldier who more than fifty years ago was buried on the farm. The grave was opened and found to contain only a few bones and ashes, but the outlines of the crumbling skel eton indicated plainly the once power ful frame of the old Revolutionary figther, and there was other evidence that the right grave had been found. Judge Dent gathered the remains in a box ' and brought them to Newnan, where they were placed in the keeping of City Sexton Palmer. They have since been reinterred on a lot in the soldiers’ cemetery, and when Mrs. R. H. Hardaway, regent of Sarah Dickin son Chapter, D. A. R.. returns home application will be made to the War Department at Washington for a mar ble headstone, which will be erected to mark the last resting-place of the old soUier. Entire credit is due Judge Dekit for first calling attention to the neglected condition of the veteran pa triot’s grave, and then taking steps to rescue his remains from oblivion. Sam Taylor Will Not Hang To-Day. Sam Taylor, who killed Warren Price on the 4th of July, 1908, and who was sentenced by Judge Freeman to be hanged to-day for his crime, was on Tuesday last granted a respite tor one week. Taylor’s lawyers, Messrs. W. H. Daniel,. J. Littleton Jones and Rob ert Orr, appeared before the Pardon h Board on Saturday and presented a pe tition asking for a commutation of the sentence imposed upon Taylor to life imprisonment, the petition for clemen cy bearing the signatures of eleven of , the jurors who tried Taylor, as well as those of all the officers of Court and a Marge number of citizens. The petition ' was refused by the Pardon Board, and on Tuesday the matter was laid before the Governor, who granted a respite of one week in order that he might have opportunity to look into the case more fully. Mr. T. G. Farmer, who had known Taylor for some time before the commission of the crime for which he is now under sentence of death, also went before the Governor and made a strong plea for the condemned man. Taylor is not regarded as a vicious negro by those who know him best, and if Gov. Smith should decide to com mute his sentence to life imprisonment it would cause general satisfaction in the community. Taylor himself appears to be indiffer ent to his fate. He says he has made peace with the Lord, and will be ready to go to the gallows whenever the sher iff calls for him. -i... 'Mf, gt’ Sudden Death of a Pioneer Citizen. | Wednesday Mr. J«hn M. Brown, of Cedar Creek district, went into Burch’s restaurant on East Broad street and ordered dinner. He was promptly served and seemed to enjoy the meal, eating heartily and with apparent rel ish. When he had finished he called for a glass of water and when it was brought him he took one or two sips from the tumbler. At almost the same moment he sank back in his chair, and his expression and-attitude indica ted that he had swooned. Observing his condition, a gentleman seated at the same table sprang to his side, and, with the assistance of others who came in response to his call, the stricken man was laid on the floor. Dr. Duke Lee was hurriedly summoned, who ad ministered such restoratives as are usual in emergencies of this character, but to no effect. The form soon be came rigid, and after a few gasps the man was dead. The body was removed to Reese’s undertaking establishment, and later in the day was taken to Mr. Re ese’s residence, where it remained until yesterday morning. At 9 o’clock the corpse was carried to Elim church, in the Fourth district, and after funer al services by Rev. F. J. Amis and Rev. Claude Grimes the remains were laid to rest in the quiet churchyard there. Deceased was one of Coweta’s oldest and best-known citizens and a veteran of the Civil War, being 70 years of age at the time of his death. He had been twice married, but survived both wives, his last wife having died three Deceased was 78 years of age, and a veteran of the Civil War, having en listed in Co. K. 1st Ga. Cavalry, in 1862. He was a gallant soldier, al ways at his post and ready for duty. He was severely wounded on the 22d of July, 1864, in Atlanta. He was a good citizen and Christian as well as sol dier, having joined the army of the Lord in early life, and, as was his cus tom in the Civil War. he never turned his back upon the enemy of the Lord. When the time for his departure came he could exclaim like Paul in II. Timo thy, 4 :7-8, and then hear the welcome plaudits as recorded in Matthew, 25:21. Then methinks I hear him in tones of joy saying— “You may now with letters glaring Inscribe upon my tomb: ‘Here lies the dust of Samuel Herring— My spirit rests at home.’ ” Comrade P. A. Carmical. Moreland, Ga., April 13th. Anderson--Wilkinson. West Point News, 15th inst. A quiet but pretty home wedding was that of Miss Carrie Anderson to Mr. Amos Wilkinson, of Newnan. Wed nesday evening at 8 o’clock, at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Anderson, on the east side. The home was prettily decorated for the occasion, and Dr. E. Z. F. Golden performed the ceremony in a solemn and impressive manner. Only the im mediate relatives were present. The bride wore a becoming tailor suit of Alice blue with hat to match. They left immediately after the cere mony for Newnan, which place they will make their home. The bride’s sister, Mrs. Eugene Askew, of New nan, will entertain in their honor to day. The best wishes of a large circle of friends follow the bride to her new home. The attendants were Mrs. Pink Cher ry, of Atlanta, matron of honor, and Miss Annie Anderson, maid of honor. Mr. J. L. Poole, of Newnan, was best man, and Dr. Duke Lee, of the same city, was also an attendant. A dainty salad course was served before the bridal party departed. Miss Margue rite Adams and Miss Judith Lyndon, of Washington, presided at the punch bowl. King--Porter. Atlanta Constitution, 15th inst. The wedding of Miss Belle Vernon King and Mr. John Caldwell Porter, of Rome, was a pretty one, taking place last night at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Habersham King, on North Boulevard. The ceremony was performed by Dr. Little, of Westminster Presbyterian church, and was witnessed by a com pany of seventy-five guests, who were entertained afterwards with delightful hospitality. The bride was lovely in her wedding gown of white satin, embroidered with pearls, and her bouquet was of bride roses and lilies-of-the-valley. Miss Rhea K ; ng and Mr. C. R. Por ter were the only attendants. The maid of honor was gowned in pink messaline, and her bouquet was of pink carnations. Mrs. King wore hyacinth-blue silk and lace. Mr. and Mrs. Porter left after the reception for a wedding trip of two weeks, and they will be at home after the 28th inst. in Rome. Among the out-of-town guests at the wedding were: Mr. and Mrs. Jas. J. Jackson, Mr. Walter Jackson, Misses Daisy and Edith Jackson, of Augusta; Mr. J. N. King, Mr. Charles Barring ton King, Miss Anna Caperton, Miss Mary Lou Yancey, Mrs. C. W. King, Miss Sarah Joyce King. Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Porter, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Av- erett, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Graves, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Dean, all of Rome; Mrs. J. H. Strickland, of Newnan: Mr. Habersham King, jr., of Newnan ; Miss Bessie Porter, of Bridgeport, Ala. Fertilizer Samples for Analysis. Atlanta Journal. “There never have been so many requests for fertilizer analyses be fore,” said Hon. T. G. Hudson, State Commissioner of Agriculture, Tuesday morning. “It looks like everybody in the State is sending samples in to this office for us to look over and tell whether they are ail right or not.” Commissioner Hudson believes that the big war now on among fertilizer manufacturers is indirectly responsible for this run on his department. The cut in prices that has resulted, he says, has made a great many buyers suspi cious that the goods they are getting are not up to snuff. “But so far,” says the Commission er, “we haven’t discovered a single in stance of fraud. ” Capt. Johnson, the fertilizer clerk of the department, has more work ahead of him in this line, says Commissioner Hudson, than he can hope to clean up in a good many weeks. “I d Rather Die, Doctor, than have my feet cut o(f, ” said M. L. Bingham, of Princeville, 111. “But you’ll die from gangrene (which had eaten away eight toes) if you don’t,” said all doctors. Instead, he used Bucklen’s Arnica Salve till wholly cured.

Howard, four years old of age, bit his lip for the first time and ran to his mother, crying, “Oh, mother, my top teeth stepped on my face!” “Why was your wedding postponed?” “My fiance and his best man overate themselves—or something like that—- at his bachelor dinner.” We fear the business world would take a slump if men spent as much time fixing their hair as the women do fixing their own. “Is he broke?” “Broke! Why. his assets rattle around in his liabilities like a pea in a coal bucket.” Saler £ tty 4 4 4 Gents’ Men’s Furnishings Shoes and Hats 4 4 4 Right Styles Right Qualities Right Prices 4 4 4 “Beacon” Shoes for men, $3 and $3.50.
