On Thurdsay afternoon of last week a man giving his name as Phillips and Columbus as his home, went to Gear- reld’s stables and bargained for the hire of a horse and buggy. He repre sented himself as a revenue officer, stated that he was going up into Camp bell county on a raid, and that he would keep the team out until the next afternoon or Saturday morning. He paid in advance for the team, and sta ted his business so glibly and plausibly that the liveryman did not suspect his honesty or the truthfulness of his story. He did not return Friday afternoon, however, nor did he show up on Satur day. In fact, neither the bogus “rev enue” man nor the team had been heard from at last accounts. It has been learned since that the man’s name is J. R. Phillips, that he was recently employed on a farm near Whitesburg, and that he has a bad record in Carroll county, where he has been a familiar figure in the courts for several years.

Prof. Ransom had a severe attack of pleurisy in the early part of the year, and spent a month or so ut a sanata rium, in Atlanta, where he underwent an operation. The operation was apparent ly successful, and some weeks later he was discharged from the institution as cured. He then returned to his duties as associate professor of chemistry at the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Au burn, Ala.—a position which he had been filling with distinction for sever al years. About five weeks ago he was seized with a chill, and, fearing a re currence of the pleuritic trouble from which he had suffered so severely some months before, he again went to Atlan ta for treatment, entering St. Joseph’s Infirmary. He remained at this hos pital about four weeks, and was con sidered so much improved that his Newnan relatives were advised by the hospital authorities that he would be well enough by Friday to return home. On the day set for his discharge, how ever, he took a sudden turn for the worse, and Saturday afternoon he had a sinking spell. His death followed shortly afterwards. The announcement of Prof. Ran som’s death was a great shock to his Newnan friends, as well as to his fam ily, and caused universal sorrow in the community. He was a splendid young man and a fine character, with a promising future in his chosen profes sion, while his lovable personal traits endeared him to a wide circle of friends. He was 35 years of age and unmarried, his nearest relatives being his mother, Mrs. G. A. Ransom, his sisters, Mrs. J. S. Powell and Mrs. Lu tie N. Powers, of this city, and two brothers, Mr. M. S. Ransom, of Atlan ta. and Mr. T. J. Ransom, of Texas. The funeral took place Monday morn ing at 10 o’clock, from the residence of Judge J. S. Powell, on Spring street, and was largely attended.
