In a note to the editor Prof. Claude
Gray, president of Locust Grove Insti
tute, makes complimentary mention of
two popular and ambitious Coweta boys
attending that school, as follows:
“The success of boys and girls off at
Bchool is always a matter of interest to
their friends at home. The friends of
Samuel Freeman, of Newnan, and Guy
Fuller, of Grantville, will probably be
pleased to know of the honorB that have
recently come to them. Mr. Fuller has
been elected business manager of the
School Annual, and Mr. Freeman has
"een chosen to give the ‘Last Will and
Testament’ of the senior class at the
class day exercises during commence
ment. Both of these young men have
taken a high Btand in their classes.”

It is understood that Col. T. G. Far
mer, jr,, has secured a change of venue
for Walter Brewster, the negro charged
with killing L. C. Marchrrian, a promi
nent citizen of Meriwether county,
about a year ago, and the case will
likely come up for trial at the ap
proaching term of Coweta Superior
Court. When Brewster was put on
trial at the fall term of Meriwether
Superior Court Col. Farmer was ap
pointed by the Court to defend him. The
trial resulted in Brewster’s conviction,
hut subsequently Col. Farmer secured
a new trial for his client. The plea for
a change of venue to Coweta county
was based upon the argument that
popular prejudice against Brewster
was so strong as to render it doubtful
whether he could get a fair trial in
Meriwether county.
J. F. Hildebrand, aged about G5, a
white tenant on Mr. F. M. Lee’s farm,
just beyond McIntosh Mills, was found
dead in his bed Monday morning. Death
was evidently due to heart trouble, as
he had been under treatment for that
ailment for some time. Although ap
parently without means and working as
a common farm hand, nn examination
of his effects after death disclosed
mortgage notes, deodH and other secur
ities in his possession valued at five or
six thousand dollars—perhaps more, as
no accurate appraisement could be
made. Why he chose the li e he did,
denying himself many comforts which
he might easily have indulged, cannot
be explained, lie was prominently con
nected in Atlanta, it is said, and itis re
mains were carried to that city Monday
afternoon for interment.
Saturday night a negro named Robt.
Hunter got drunk, armed himself with
u shotgun and went to the home a ne
gro tenant or. Mr. Henry Camp's place,
near Moreland, where a "cake-cutting”
was in progress. As he entered the
house he made threats against another
negro, it is said, whereupon several
members of the party seized him and
tried to wrest the gun from his hands.
In the scuffle for possession of the gun
the weapon was discharged, the entire
load entering tiie head of Ed Terrell’s
wife and killing her instantly. The top
of the woman’s head was blown off, and
her brains were scattered all over the
room, it is said. Sheriff Brewster was
oil the scene shortly after the tragedy
and arrested Hunter, who is now in jail.
When the grand jury meets next week
he will likely he indicted for murder.
The members of the County Demo

Death of Dr. T. B Thames.
After seven weeks of suffering, dur
ing which he had the sympathy and
prayers of the whole community, Dr,
T. B. Thames, beloved pastor of the
First Baptist church, passed away
Wednesday evening at half-past 6
o’clock. Although his life had been
hanging for days by the merest thread
and the sad etui was not unexpected,
yet the announcement of his death
came at last ns a shock. He had made
such a brave light, many cherished the
hope that his indomitable spirit might
ultimately triumph in the struggle and
that he would be restored to health.
That this hope was not realized caused
profound sorrow—a feeling shured by
every person in Newnan, for, during
his little more than two years’ residence
here, he had greatly endeared himself
to the community. An able and gifted
divine, devoted to his work as pastor,
he was also a cultured and companion
able gentlemun, and us popular in a
social way as he was lovable and help
ful in his paBloral relations. His death
is a loss to Newnan, to the Baptist
denomination, and to the cause of Him
whose commission he bore.
Dr. Thames was horn ut Claiborne,
Ala., in 1850. At an early age he re
moved with his parentB to Mobile, Ala.,
and it was there that he grew to man
hood. After finishing the regular course
at Howard College, Birmingham, Ala.,
he decided to enter the ministry, and in
preparation for this high culling he en
tered the Southern Theological Semin
ary at Louisville, Ky. After finishing
at"that institution he was called to the
pastorate of the Baptist church at
Shelbyville, Ky. Later he located at
Chicago, where he organized the La
Salle Avenue Baptist church, and
served as its pastor for five years. He
then accepted a call to the church at
Danville, Va., and served there thir
teen years. His next pastorate was
at Elizaheth, N. J., where he was lo
cated eight years. Leaving this charge,
he came to Newnan two and a half
years ago and assumed the pastorate
of the First Baptist church. His use
ful and brilliant ministry here is well-
known to all our people.
In 1879 he was united in marriage to
Miss Sallio Long, of Louisville, Ky.,
who, together with three children, sur
vive him—the latter being Mrs. R. R.
I’atterson, of Danville, Va., Mr. John
Thames, of Memphis, Tonn., and Miss
Sarah Thames, of this city.
The funeral took place yesterday af
ternoon at 3 o’clock, at the First Bap
tist church. The services were in
charge of Dr. J. S. Hardaway, who
was a former classmate of the deceased
at the Southern Theological Seminary,
and one of the latter’s closest friends.
The opening prayer was made by Rev.
J. E. Hannah. Scripture lessons were
read by Rev. Graham Forrester, of
WeHt Point, and Rev. H. L. Edmond
son, pastor of the First Methodist
church. The funeral discourse by Dr.
Hardaway was a splendid tribute to the
life and character of Dr. Thames,
whom he had known and loved from the
days of their young manhood. Touch
ing and tender tributes were paid also
by Dr. John Purser and Dr. B. D. Gray,
of Atlanta. Dr. T. B. Davis, on be
half of the church, made u beautiful
talk, expressing the love and admira
tion which his parishioners entertained
for their pastor, and their deep grief
over his death. The sweet requiems
intoned by the choir and the lovely
floral offerings formed an appropriate
broidery for the impressive obsequies
in honor of the beloved minister.
The pallbearers were Messrs. D. W.
Boone, I. N. Orr, jr., J. Roy Brown,
G. L Wvnn, John Kite, D. S. Cuttino
Lynch Turner, A. H. Freeman, H. M.
Hughs and John R. Cates.
The casket containing the remains
was kept in the church until the 10:30
p. m. train, when it was taken to Dan
ville, Va., where the interment will be
made. Besides the members of the
family, the body was accompanied by
Mr. and Mrs. Earle Adams.
