NEWNAN, FRIDAY, DEC. 17.
c
Locals Brought Forward.
The many friends of Dr. R. H. Tay
lor will regret to learn that he has lo
cated in Florida, where he will in the
future reside. Dr. Taylor was one of
the foremost physicians and surgeons of
Georgia, having for several years been
secretary of the State Medical Society.
He enjoyed a large and lucrative prac
tice, but for personal reasons decided to
remove to Florida, where he has two or
three splendid propositions open to him.
He will probably locate either in Jack
sonville or Miami. He is at present at
Auburndale, where he will reside until
he decides between the two.—Griffin

The annual supper of the Newnan
Fire Department, which took place
last night at the Newnan Auto Co. 'b
garage, was quite a sumptuous affair.
All the members of the department at
tended, and the mayor and aldermen
and other city officials were also pres
ent by special invitation. There were
no speeches or other formalities to
hamper the enjoyment of the banquet
ers, and the occasion was a thoroughly
happy one. The menu consisted of
barbecued meats, Brunswick stew, cel
ery and pickles The ’cue was prepared
by that prince of barbecuists, Mr.
Starling Carpenter, who was assisted
in serving by Messrs. Tom Fisher and
T. S. Parrott.
Mr. Charles Raymond Crane and Miss
Grace Lee f oster were Happily marritu
Wednesday evening at the home ot
the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.
H. Foster, on W. Washington street.
Rev. W. J. Cotrer performed the cere
mony in his usual impressive manner,
in the presence of relatives and a few
intimate friends. Owing to a recent
bereavement in the bride’s family the
invitations issued two or three weeks
ago were recalled. Mr. and Mrs. Crane
have scores of friends, who will join
The Herald and Advertiser in wishing
them much prosperity and happiness in
the years to come. The young couple
left on the 10:30 p. m. train for a trio
to North Georgia, after which they
will ne at home to their friends at 47
W. Washington street.
Mrs. Parlhenia Josephine Denson
died Sunday morning at the home of
her son-in-law. Mr. J. H. Foster, on
W. Washngton street—aged 77. About
four weeks ago she suffered a slight
stroke of paralysis, but had partiallv
rallied from the atl ack, and it was ho 'ed
that she would ultimately recover. On
Fr d iy morning, however, she had an-
othi r stroke, which caused her death.
Deceased had resided in Newnan about
four years, and was held in high regard
bv all who knew her. She is su’-vivi d
hv three children—Mr3. H. Foster
of this citv, J. H. Denson of Center
Ga.. and Leon Denson of Charleston
S. C. The remains were carried Mon
day to Flowerv Branch, Ga., for inter
ment, being accompanied by Mr. anc
Mrs. Foster.
The Baraca Class of the First Bap
tist church, under Prof. Henderson,
held an interesting debate on Friday
evening last. The proposition was:
“Resolved, That the fear of punish
ment influences men to right action
more than the hope of reward.” The
leading disputants were: Affirmative
-W. S. Carswell and W. B, Wellborn;
negative—F. H. Mayes and J. P. Orr.
Other members of the class and Prof.
Henderson joined in the discussion,
and it was an interesting and helpful
entertainment. Many strong points
y/Qi m Q developed on both sides, and ev
eryone present was helped. The class
anticipates another meeting after the
holiday#. Prof. Henderson is sparing
no pains to help the young men to pre
pare themselves for the conquests of
life.
It will be recalled that, about three
weeks ago, a young man named Jack-
son Luckio was accidentally shot and
killed by John N. Austin, jr. Austin
surrendered to the sheriff, and on the
following day the Coroner held an in
quest, and. after a full investigation,
tne jury decided that the killing was
accidental. Young Austin was there
fore released, and remained at liberty
until Monday last, when he was again
arrested on a warrant sworn out by a
brother of the dead man, who was not
satisfied with the finding of the coro
ner’s jury. Austin had his commitment
trial before Judge Owens on Wedesday,
and, after hearing the testimony of the
witnesses, the court held that the evi
dence did not justify Austin’s deten
tion on a murder charge, and the war
rant against him was accordingly dis
missed.
Divorce Case Dismissed at the Last
Moment.
She was a petite little woman, dress
ed in a neat brown suit, and her eyes
showed plainly the trace of tears as
she told the .Judge her reasons for
wanting a divorce from her handsome
young husband, /‘ “if? ,,
“I was only 18 when I married him.
she sobbed, “and 1 had always been
petted in my own family. For a time
we lived very happily together;
then one evening he went to the
lod^e and did not return until
near midnight. We were boarding
then and I did not have to be alone,
so I did not mind it bo much. But
aa it went on week after week and I
would be left alone ko often I decided 1
could not stand it and applied for a di
vorce. It is not his being gone that I
dislike so much, as I always have some
of my girl friends in to spend the even
ing, but it is the fact that 1 know he
can’t love me and remain away from
rne so long and so often.” And her
pretty lips trembled witn the sobs she
tried to choke back.
The old Judge, who had daughters
of his own, was a kindly old chap and
he asked her kindlv, “Do you still love
your husband?” “Yep,” was her sob-
b ng answer. “Then the only reason
for your divorce is his neglect of you?”
“Oh, he doesn’t neglect me. only
stays late at lodge.’’ “Then,” laughed
the Judge, “you get your huubarid to
take y u to the auditorium Dec. 30,
and us ‘The Heart of an Indian,’and
that wi'l explain why ho can go to the
lodge s> often and still love you.’’
They went, and the divorce case was
dismissed.

Chief Shackleford Gets Letter From
Family of Dead Showman.
Chief Shackleford received a letter
this week from Mr. Wm. H. McNamee,
of Worcester, Mass., (a cousin of M.
F. Flynn, the showman who died here
two weeks ago from drinking wood al
cohol,) from which we make the fol
lowing extract—
“On behalf of Mr. Flynn and my
family I wish to thank you for the
kindness you have shown us in the
Lime of our trouble—the death of a son
and cousin. The one ray of sunshine—
the one thing which has helped to buoy
his father uo at this time—was your
kind and unsolicited letter giving us
the particulars concerning the death of
M. F. Flynn. His father, (a hard
working old Irishman of the type who
never sav die,) although deprived of a
good education himself, decided that
his boy should have one. The boy, like
a great many others, did not like
Hchool. He went to work at the age of
14. At an he went to a night school,
studying two years there, and then tak
ing the examination for the Philadel
phia Dental School, which he passed.
After three years of study there he
graduated as the orator of hid class.
He came home and opened an office
here and practiced about one year,
when he went to New York. He wus a
nurBe in a hospital in New York, and
also worked in the mechanical end of a
large dental establishment. Wc; did
not hear from him for five years, until
about three weeks ago, when he wrote
us from Alabama, telling us that he
was witli a minstrel troupe. After that
wo had two letters and two postals.
No man can imagine the joy of that
father on receiving a letter from one
he thought was dead. In his last letter
to us he said that no matter what he
was doing, or where he was, he wou'd
always keen us informed as to his ad
dress. Well, God has intervened, and
hereafter we will always know where
he is. He was kind, intelligent, bright
and likable. He was his own enemy
and harmed only himself, but he had a
very influential assistant—‘mnn’s worst
enemy.’ The funeral was held this
morning, and the size of it would sat
isfy anyone who wan inclined to doubt
his popularity or his kindness. He was
not an ordinary canvas man, as might
he gleaned from a look at some of the
people who attended the funeral.
“Again I wish to thank you for doing
more tian your official duty, and no
man < ai ever say an unkind word about
the people of the South, and .1. P.
Shackleford in particular, without a
word of defense from anyone of us—
especially his father ”
