TURIN.
Among the sad happening of the
holidaya was the death of Mrs. Walter
Willis, near Sharpsburg, which oc
curred on the last day of the Old Year.
Her maiden name was Fannie Vine
yard, and she had been twice married—
first to Thos. Carlton, and last to Wal
ter Willis, who, with several children,
survive her. She was a good woman,
having been for many years a member
of Ebenezor church. After impressive
funeral services, conducted by Rev. Mr.
Hitt, of Senoia, her remains were luid
to rest in the quiet churchyard at
Coke’s Chapel.
We regret to chronicle also the death
of Mrs. Raymond Sullivan, of Senoia,
which occurred on Thursday of last
week. Deceased was a daughter of
Mr. John Freeman, of Senoia, and sis
ter of Mr. G. W. UpBhaw, of Turin.
She was a lovable young woman, with
a bright intellect and charming disposi
tion, and her death is much lamented.
The remains were interred in the cem
etery at Senoia. We extend sympathy
to the bereaved ones.
While writing on this line we desire
to extend heartfelt condolence to Dr.
Jas. Stacy, of Newnan, in the sad be
reavement occasioned by the death of
his beloved companion. May he draw
comfort from that Bource to which he
has so often directed the hearts of
many afflicted ones during his long and
blessed ministry, looking forward with
sweet assurance to a reunion with his
loved one beyond this vale of tears.
GodbleBs this aged servant of the Lord,
is our earnest prayer.
While sorrow visited many homes,
joy came to others. Among the latter
are Dr. and Mrs. E. L. Merrill, who
are rejoicing over the arrival of another
daughter, which came a few days ago
to brighten their home.
Uncle Joe North, a well-known col
ored man of Sharpsburg, died Sunday.
Ho was a blacksmith by trade, and
will be missed by his former custo
mers.
The writer met with his friends at
Rock Spring church on Saturday and
Sunday lost. Owing to a defective flue
the building caught on lire during ser
vices, and but for the heroic efforts of
the congregation the house would have
been destroyed.
While in the Rock Spring communi
ty we spent a night in the houso erect
ed by Col. Tolliver nearly eighty years
ago. The building is 60 feet in length,
with a 10-foot hall and fire-places sev
en feet wide. It is a two-Btoried struc
ture, nicely weatherboarded and ceiled,
and is in a fine state of preservation.
It was built before the day of Baw-mills,
when hewn logs were employed for
building purposes, and stands as a mon
ument to the pluck and energy of the
early settlers of Coweta.

was the elegant dinner given by Mr.
and Mrs. Edgar Dominick Sunday com
plimentary to the employees of the
Dominick Mercantile Co., and a num
ber of invited guests. The house was
tastefully decorated with holly and
Christmas bells. The decorations in
the dining-room were entirely in red.
A large vase of roses was the attrac
tive center-piece, while pot plants, cut
flowers and fruits gave the room quite
a tropical appearance. The place-
cards were tiny Christmas bells, hand-
painted in holly designs and tied with
bolly ribbon. The dinner was sump
tuous beyond. 1 description, and that it
was thoroughly enjoyed goes without
saying. Everyone seemed to have
caught the Christmas spirit, which
made the occasion one long to be re
membored.
To The IHerald and Advertiser and
its many readers we extend hearty
New Year greetings, and wish one and

happiness.
