At their regular conference last Sunday morning, the Henoia Bap tist church unanimously re-elected Bev. J. W. R. Jenkins to serve them as pastor for another year. The news of the death of Major Oscar Brown brings sincere sor row to very many Georgians. Unlike many men who go into army life, Major Brown never lost intimate touch with the state of his birth. He was appointed to West Point from Georgia in 1872, graduating in the class of 1877. A warm personal friend of the late Governor Atkinson, it was largely through Governor Atkinson’s in fluence that Major Brown, then a captain, was detailed by the war department as assistant adjutant general and inspector of the Geor gia state troops in 189$ And up on the outbreak of the Spanish war he was made colonel ot the Second Georgia regiment of volun teers. The Second Georgia was a regiment of which its commanding officer was justly proud, and the officers and men of that regiment were ever, proud of and loyal to their colonel. Throughout his army career Major Brown made an enviable record. Upon the disbandment ot the volunteer forces he returned to his regiment in the regular team and buggy.
