NEWNAN, FRIDAY, NOV. 12.
Locals Brought Forward.
Miss Edith Trimblfi Crane, of Balti
more, corresponding secretary of the
Woman’s Missionary Union of the
Southern Baptist Convention, will be
in LaGrange on Tuesday or Wednesday
of next week. Miss Emma L. Amis,
State corresponding secretary, will be
with her. The Baptist women of New-
nan and of the Western Association are
cordially invited to hear Miss Crane
and Miss Amis at LaGrange. An
nouncements will be made both in the
First Baptist and Central Baptist
churches on Sunday morning next.
On Monday night last some mis
creant tired several shots from a re
volver, one of the bullets shattering a
plate-glass window and tearing away
portions of the wall in the sitting-room
of Mr. K. D. Coie, jr.’s, residence on
East Broad street. The room had just
been vacated by members of Mr. Cole’s
family, and it is a miracle that they
escaped uninjured. From the course of
the bullet the miscreant was evidently
on Robinson street, but no explanation
has been offered for his conduct in thus
recklessly endangering lives and prop
erty. The police are making every ef
fort to apprehend the offender.
At a citizens’ meeting held at Senoia
on,Monday last steps were taken for
the organization of a cotton mill in that
thriving little city, and from the inter
est manifested at the meeting the pro
ject now seems to be an assured fact.
At a subsequent meeting held on Tues
day officers and directors were elected
as follows: J. C. Arnall, president;
C. F. Sasser, vice-president; Vindex
Hand, secretary : H. P. Red wine, treas
urer: and Dr. N. G. Long, C. F. Sas
ser, H. P. Redwine, Vindex Hand, G.
C. McKnight. L. E. Arnall, and J. C.
Arnall, directors. A committee com
posed of Dr. N. G. Long, and Messrs.
L. E. Arnall and Vindex Hand was ap
pointed to select a suitable location for
the proposed mill, and it is expected
that the work of construction will com
mence at once.
Death of Mr. J. F. Sponcler.
Our community is plunged in deepest
sorrow this week over the death of Mr.
.). F. Sponcler, familiarly known as
"Uncle .lake,” one of Newnan’s oldest
and most popular citizens, which ocur-
red Tuesday at his home in this city.
About live weeks ago he was stricken
with a malignant bowel complaint and
was forced to take his bed. He never
seemed to rally from the attack, and
gradually grew weaker, his loved ones
realizing from the first that his ad
vanced age would count against him in
the battle for life, though never tiring
in their gentle ministrations for his
comfort. His final hours, however,
were peaceful, as his entire life had
been a benison of peace and joy to
those around him—especially those who
enjoyed the privilege of intimate asso
ciation with him.

A Linen Shower.
One of the most delightful of the
week’s social affairs was the linen
shower Wednesday afternoon with
which Miss Julia Mae Hackney compli
mented Miss Onie Brannon, of More
land, whose marriage to Mr. D. C.
Owen, of Grantville, will take place
next Wednesday. The home was very
attracive with vases of yellow chrysan
themums and pot plants. The cordial
hostess received her guests, wearing a
becoming gown of pink messaline
Miss Brannon’s frock, of wistaria cloth
was very chic and stylish. Several
games of bridge were enjoyed, at the
conclusion of which Master Phillips
Jones appeared on the scene, rolling a
small wheel-barrow holding a trunk.
Miss Brannon was given the key and on
unlocking the trunk, found it to con
tain many beautiful pieces of linen.
Later in the afternoon a delicious sal
ad course was served. Besides the
guest of honor, those present were
Misses Ruth Hardaway, Ruth Cole,
Lourette Simms, Sarah Buchanan, Lyda
Brown, Frankie McCrory, Mary Good
rum, Estelle Zellaro, Louise Peddy, Ka
tie Arnall and Kate Snead.

Mr, Sponcler was born at Emmetts-
burg, Md., March 5, 1829, and in 1865
he removed to Atlanta, where he resid
ed ten years before coming to Newnan.
He united with the Methodist church
shortly after locating in Atlanta, and
remained a faithful, consistent member
up to the time of his death. He was
twice married, his first wife being Miss
Annie Butler, of North Carolina, who
died some twenty-live years ago. To
this union one child was born, a son—
Mr. Geo. R. Sponcler, now an honored
citizen of this city.
In 1888 Mr. Sponcler was married to
Miss Carrie Hughie, of this city, who
survives him.
Deceased was widely known and
universally beloved in Newnan, his
many admirable traits endearing him
to old and young alike. His deep
piety, broad-mindedness and geniality
were characteristics which distin
guished him in marked degree from his
fellow-man, and he was a leading spirit
in every movement looking to the mor
al uplift of the community. Several
years ago he was presented with a
gold-headed cane by the members of
the Young Men’s Prayer Association, a
gift which he cherished all the days of
his useful and honorable life.
Uncle Jake was possesed of many
noble traits, but one of his chief char
acteristics was faithfulness—faithful
ness to his family and friends in the
various relations of life—but, above
all, to his Maker; and one of his favor
ite expressions was "If there is no life
beyond the grave, I have got the best
out of this life by being a Christian,
and am ready to go whenever He calls;
but. like Paul I am still ‘pressing on. ’ ”
The funeral was conducted Wednes
day afternoon, from the First Metho
dist church, services being conducted
by Dr. R. J. Bigham, assisted by all
the resident ministers. Out of respect
to his memory the shops of the R. D.
Cole Mfg. Co. were closed Wednesday
afternoon, deceased at one time having
been in the employ of the company,
and for a period extending over twenty
years.
The remains were laid to rest in Oak
Hill cemetery, the interment being
made with the honors of the Odd Fel
lows’ order—an orgnization with which
he had been intimately connected for
more than fifty years.
We Stand Corrected.
The Herald and Advertiser is in re
ceipt of a letter from Mr. A. B. Stroud,
of Nocatee, Fla., in which he calls at
tention to an error which appeared in
The Herald and Advertiser last week,
and we take pleasure in correcting by
publishing his communication, viz:
"It has been twenty-three years
since I left old Coweta and in all those
years The H. & A. has been a news
letter from my old home. In that time
I have had no occasion to call you down
on any article published therein, but 1
cannot let an article published in last
week’s issue go unchallenged. On last
page of that issue, first column, under
heading, "The Thirty-four Greatest
Discoveries and Achievements of the
Past One Hundred Years,” Anesthet
ics, you gave credit to Dr. Horace
Wells, of Harford, Conn., when in fact
this belongs to Dr. Crawford W. Long,
of Georgia, who who lirst used a safe
and sufficient anesLhetic March 30,
1842, at Jefferson, Ga. At that time
Dr. Long was a young practicioner of
that place. Your State long ago recog
nized the fact, and named this great
Georgian, along with the Hon. A. H.
Stephens, as the States choice for rep
resentatives in the Nation’s Hall of
Fame at Washington. If you will turn
to May. 1909. number of ‘Uncie Remus
Magazine’ you will find an article fully
showing Dr. Long’s priority in the dis
covery.”
The Herald and Advertiser is glad to
be "called” on this statement, and
apologizes for giving space to it. That
Dr. Crawford W. Long was the discov
erer of the anaesthetic value of ether
has long been established, and the
only explanation of the false claim
made by the writer of the article ab-
jected is that it was written by a New
Englander—and New Englanders are
naturally careless with facts.
Mathews—‘‘They say your grand
father was very successful as an ex
plorer.”
Traverse—"Yes, hewa9. Nearlyev-
erybody used to believe him.”
Happy Ending of a Pretty Romance.
Atlanta Journal, 8th inst.
A romance which had its beginning
many years ago in Carrollton culmina
ted Sunday night at the residence of
Rev. John E. White, on Lucile avenue,
when Miss Evelyn Fitts, a nurse at the
Presbyterian Hospital, and Alva B.
Pace, of Carrollton, were married by
the minister. Mrs. Pace is the daugh
ter of Dr. W. L. Fitts, a prominent
physician of Carrollton, and Mr. Pace
is engHged in the mercantile business
in the thriving little city. The bride
and groom went from the minister’s
residence to the Kimball House, where
they will stay while in Atlanta. They
were much surprised Monday morning
to learn that their secret was out.
and declined to discuss the details of
their romance.
"Was it a romance?” Mr. Pace was
asked.
His answer was a smile.
The couple drove to the residence of
Dr. White in a taxicab Sunday night.
They were accompanied by two friends,
one of whom produced the license, af
ter which Dr. White performed a sim
ple, yet impressive ceremony.
