Library Notes.
Superior Court will convene for
the March term next Monday
morning, with the probability of a
long and busy term in view. There
is much business demanding the
court’s attention, especially on the
criminal docket. One white pris
oner and fifteen negros are cpn lined
in .jail awaiting trial; four of them
being charged with murder. In
addition to these, a number of per
sons are out on bond who will
probably be tried at this term.
The sixteen persons in jail and
the charges against them are as
follows:
Taylor Pruett, white, is charged
with murdering .1. W. Pinson.
All of the following named are
negroes:

Death of Patrick Grant.
Patrick Grant, probably the
best known stone mason in this
county, died at the county farm
last Saturday night, after being an
inmate of the poor asylum for two
weeks. The funeral occurred
Sunday afternoon and was con
ducted by Dr. J. W. Quillian.
Pat Grant was a native of Ire
land, and had resided in Newnan
for thirty years or more. He was
an expert in his trade and a
thoroughly reliable workman. He
was an intelligent man, and had
many friends among the people of
the city and county, all of whom
are genuinely sorry to learn of his
death.
