" + Mr. W. L. Brakefield, one of our most worthy citizens, died on Saturday last. By his death we lose one of our best cjtizens, quiet in disposition, hon est and upright in all his dealings with his fellowmen, and a consistent mem ber of the Baptist church. If he had an enemy no one knew of it. He had lived at Haralson and Senoia virtually all of his life, and we never heard aught against him. A better neighbor never lived. Funeral services were conducted by Dr. S. ft. Cousins, at the Baptist church, and the interment was at Se noia Sunday evening.— Haralson Cor. Senoia Enterprise-Gazette. Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Brewster and Deputy Sherill Jackson raided a wildcat still over near the river, in the Fourth district. The still waB found in a dense piece of woods, located on land belonging to the estate of the late B. H. Pearson, and a smouldering fire showed that the outfit had been in op eration only a few hours previous to the sheriff’s visit. Four barrels con taining about 300 gallons of mash indi cated that preparations were being made for another “run” in a day or so. The mash was emptied into a branch near by, and the distilling apparatus broken up and brought to town, making the fourth wildeatstill that Sheriff Brew ster has destroyed during the past twelve months. He has a pretty good clue as to the identity of the parties who were engaged in operating the plant, and some arrests will likely follow the raid. Special Music at First Methodist Church.

Bissell, the energetic secre tary of the Delaware Red Cross, joiotly belong the honor of originating our Red Cross Christmas seal. In 1909 Mr. Riis’ interest was aroused by the receipt of a Christmas tuberculosis stamp on a letter from Norway. He published an article about this queer looking stamp in the “Outlook,” and suggested some possible uses for it in this country. Miss Bissell at once saw an opportunity here and prepared a stamp, from the sale of which her so ciety realized $3,000 for tuberculosis 1 work.
