On Sunday afternoon last, at the
home of Rev. E. C. Smith on Spring
street, Rev. Mr. Smith officiating, Miss

Mrs. John Epsey Knox Witherspoon,
of LaGrange, (formerly of this city,)
has issued invitations to the marriage
of her daughter, Rosalind, to Mr. Wil
liam Wylie Arnold, jr., of Manchester,
Ga., the wedding to occur on Jan. 28,
at home.
Both LaGrange and Griffin have
driven out near-beer saloons by im
posing a license tax that effectually
prohibits the further sale of beer in
those towns. LaGrange fixed license
for 1914 at $10,000 for each dealer, and
Griffin at $16,000.
Newnan continues to lead all other
towns in this section as a mule market.
Quite a number of fine animals have

level as last year.
Our young friend, Sterling Carmi

by the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic railroad.

gests by May 1.
By mistake last week we got hold of
the wrong list of jurors drawn for the

named in our last issue were drawn for
the October term, 1913. The correct
list for the January term is printed
elsewhere in this paper.

Mr. C. W. McClure, of Atlanta, own
er of a chain of Ten Cent Stores located

The City Council will have a busy
session next Monday night. Many
plans for the new year, as well as way’s
and means for carry out those plans,
will be considered. The election of
a successor to Alderman ICirby, who
tendered his resignation at the last
meeting, is another matter that will
claim tbe attention of the board. A
chief of the fire department and two
firemen may be chosen at this meeting
also.
Mr. Chas. H. Newton has announced
for the office of Tax Receiver, and asks
the support of his friends and fellow-
citizens. Another announcement this
week is that of Mr. J. S. Moore for the

Mr. Lynch Turner announces this
week as a candidate for re-election as

of successive grand juries, but the
praise of all who have had business

Mr. B. G. W. Kempson, a prominent
citizen and successful farmer near

The marriage of Mr. W. E. Payne,
of this city, to Miss Virginia Woodlief,
of Durham, N. C., comes as quite a
surprise to his many friends here. The
wedding occurred at Greenville, S. C.,
where they have both made their home
for the past year, the ceremony being
performed by Dr. Sloan, of that city.
Mr. Payne is a rising young man, and
has the best wishes of his many friends
here. The couple will leave to-morrow
for Durham, N. C., which is the home
of the bride’s parents, and in a week or
so will be at home to their friends in
Newnan.
Mrs. Norman Sharp entertained the
members of the Newnan Club Wednes
day afternoon at home on West Peach
tree street. The club derives its name
from the fact that all the forty mem
bers once were residents of Newnan,
and their aim is to raise a fund to ena
ble them to improve the civic conditions
in their former home. At an early date
a marble drinking fountain will be pre
sented to the city park. The officers of
tbe club are: Mrs. Arnold Broyles, pres
ident; Mrs. John Z. Lawshe, secretary
and treasurer, and Mrs. O. G. Gorman,
corresponding secretary. —Atlanta Jour-
nal.
Gov. Slaton has commuted to present
service the life sentence of Henry Mc-
Keever, a Coweta county negro, who is
now believed to have been innocent of
the crime for which he was convicted.
He had served seven years in the pen
itentiary. McKeever was convicted of
killing another negro named Brown
about eight years ago in a dance fight.
It has developed recently that "Shack”
Barnett, who has since died, was, in all
probability, the man who did the kill
ing. Executive clemency was recom
mended by the trial Judge and a num
ber of prominent citizens. — Atlanta
Constitution, 13th inst.
Capt. T. S. Parrott gave a supper
Friday night in honor of his late col
leagues on the aldermanic board, his
guests including Col. T. F. Rawls, former
mayor, City Attorney A. H. Freeman,
Aldermen M. E. Spraggins, J. H.
Powell, and ex-Aldermen B. H. Kirbv,
G. L. Wynn, T. M. Goodrum and W
J. Murphey. It was an elegant affair
—a sort of love feast, in fact, the oc
casion being enlivened by many ex
periences and reminiscences relating to
their association as members of the old
administration. Capt. Parrott was as
sisted in doing the honors by his
charming wife, herself a most grace
ful and engaging entertainer, and, need
less to say, the assembled guests en
joyed a very pleasant evening.
The Daughters of the Confederacy

At the regular meeting of the Water
and Light Commission on Monday night
last all of the old officers were re
elected for another yeur, as follows:
H. H. North, chairman; W. B. Pringle,
secretary; A. A. Passolt, superinten
dent; J. T. Mayfield, chief engineer at
light and power plant; D. G. Elder,
chief engineer at pumping-station.
Alonzo Leigh, Sim Barker and Mnse
Ringer, colored employees of the de
partment, were warmly commended for
efficiency and for their faithful atten
tion to duty. They have been in
the service of the department over
since the Water and Light Commission
was created, and are exceptionally
competent and reliablo in their several
capacities.
In the retirement of Mr. T. M. Good
rum as a member of the aldermanic
board, (his term having expired on
Dec. 31,) the city loses the services of
its oldest alderman in point of continu
ous occupancy of that office, and one of
the ablest and most useful members
that has ever sat on the board. For
seven successive terms, or a period of
fourteen years, he served on the finance
committee, and for ten years before his
retirement he was its chairman. During
this period the city voted and floated
throe bond issues—$16,000 for school
buildings, $25,000 for water and lights,
and $60,000 for street improvement. The
business-like methods employed by Mr.
Goodrum in handliog these bond issues
for the city will be appreciated when it
is known that each of the issues sold at
a premium when put on the market.
In fact, Mr. Goodrum was the financier
of the several administrations with
which he served, and his resourceful
ness in emergencies was as unfailing
as it was helpful. Indeed, it is not too
much to say that his services were in
valuable—especially as the genius of
the finance committee.

Royal Welsh Ladies’ Choir Promises
a Big Treat.
The fame of Welsh choral singing be
came world-wide when, in 1872, a mixed
choir consisting mainly of Welsh village
folk, under the leadership of Caradog,
won the Crystal Palace Co. ’a $550 chal
lenge trophy and the cash prize of $500.
This fame was enhanced in the follow
ing year when the same choir, under
the same leader, again won the trophy,
beating the London choir, the latter un
der the leadership of Mr. Proudman.
Of all the Welsh musical organiza
tions the Royal Welsh Ladies’ Choir has
been first and foremost, not only to
maintain the fame but to set the stand
ard for Welsh or any other choral sing
ing that has never yet been excelled.
Tbe choir, under the direction of its
founder and first leader, Madame Clare
Novello Davies, won the first prize for
choral singing at tho World’s Fair in
Chicago, and the leader of this famous
organization has been decorated in ev
ery country of Europe and wherever
she appeared in tho United Kingdom.
The present leader, Madame Hughes-
Thomas, sustains the high standard and
renown establishec^by her predecessor,
has won laurels in all lands, and was
commanded to sing before the late King
Edward VII. and other crowned heads
of Europe.
The Newnan Civic League is being
congratulated upon securing such a dis
tinguished aggregation of singers. To
bear is to believe. You can realize in a
most easy way what glorious results
may be achieved by a female choir, if
you go to the auditorium Monday even
ing, Jan. 19. The programme will be
many-sided from a musical standpoint,
inasmuch as there is not only choral
singing, but also vocal duets, part songs,
and also one or two violin solos.
Eugene H. Grace Claimed by Death.
Mr. Eugene H. Grace, a brave and
patient sufferer for many months,
passed away shortly after midnight
Monday morning, soothed and com
forted in his last hours by his devoted
mother and other loved ones of the
family.
Mr. Grace had been a helpless inva
lid for nearly two years. About four
weeks ago he began to decline, and,
although rallying at times, his condi
tion during this period showed no ma
terial improvement. His nervousness
increased, and he suffered at intervals
from acute nausea, which proved a se
rious complication, as he was unable to
retain hut little of the nourishment
given him. He lost steadily in the bat-

tie against death, and it was apparent
that he could not long survive the or
deal. Tho end came peacefully at last,
and the dauntless spirit that had bat
tled so long and so bravely in tbe une
qual struggle found rest in an eternal
sleep that must come to us all sooner
or later.
Mr. Grace came to Newnan as a
child, and grew to manhood in our com
munity. He possessed numerous fine
traits, and these won for him a wide
circle of friends, who stood loyally by
him through all the changing fortunes
of life, and were deeply grieved when
death claimed him. Needless to say,
the sympathy of our people goes out in
unrepressed warmth and tenderness to
the sorrowing mother and other rela
tives.
The funeral took place Monday after
noon at 3 o’clock, from the residence.
Impressive services wore conducted by
Rev. 11. L. Edmondson, assisted by
Rev. J. E. Hannah, after which the
body was conveyed to Oak Hill ceme
tery nnd laid to rest in tho family lot.
The floral tributes were profuse and
beautiful.
