Reralfl and fldwrtiser. 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. , Band Concert.

Cates Drug Co.’s. 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. I 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.

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. Merchants Will Close Thanksgiving Day.
