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 News and Sun. 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.

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 ” Farmers’ Union Elects County Officers.
