Harry Matthews to Manage Newnan
Team This Season.
Harry Matthews, who managed the
Newport News club of the Virginia
league for the past two years, has been
signed as Newnan’s manager for this
season, and will report for duty about
April 15. Matthews is a catcher, and
has played with Atlanta, Birmingham
and New- Orleans, in the Southern
league, and with Indianapolis, in the
American Association. Though com
paratively young in years, he is a vet
eran of the game, and should make
Newnan a corking good manager. His
long suit is developing young players,
and he has sent quite a number to
faster company. He expects to pay
special attention to the pitchers this
season, and under his tutelage Newnan
should have a ,.ne corps of twirlers.
Up to the present about ten signed
contracts have been received, including
Whitney, Methvin and Sewell. The
first two are well-known to local fans,
and Sewell is a promising young pitch
er from Grantville.
A deal was closed this week whereby
Jake May goes to Macon. If he makes
good by May 1, which he will undoubt
edly do, the Macon club buys him out
fight; otherwise he will be turned back
to Newnan. Several clubs in Virginia
and North Carolina have been trying to
buy him this spring, but Macon made
the best .proposition.
Very few of last year’s team will re
turn this season, owing to the big cut
in the salary limit; but Newnan will be
in the race just the same. According
to the schedule, which will soon be
adopted, Newnan will open in Griffin on
May S for a 3-game series, returning
home to meet LaGraqge on May 10, 11
and !2. These two.games will be hum-
mers, you bet!—and, according to Grif
fin fans, they are expecting a crowd of
5,000 for tiie opening game. Of course,
gentle reader, you are going to this
game, as the Central of Georgia rail
way will run a special train for the oc
casion. And, needless to state, you
will be on hand when LaGrange comes
to Newnan.
Disastrous Fire at Senoia.
Senoia, Ga., March 24.—Senoia was
T sited by the most disastrous series of
ires in its history Wednesday morning,
icausing a loss of several thousand dol
lars and leaving a score of people
ooeeless. The first fire originated in
the roof of the dwelling occupied by L.
Arnall and quickly spread to the two
adjoining buildings—one occupied by
Mrs. W. C. Power and the other by
Elam Deracken, all three of which
were totally destroyed, entailing a loss
of between $4,000 and $5,000, with
about half the amount covered by in
surance. Several other nearby build
ings had narrow escapes and wodld have
been burned had the bucket brigade not
turned out in full force and done ex
cellent work.
About the time the fire of these
buildings was subsiding the handsome
residence of Mr6. J. W. Hogg, in an
other part of the city, was discovered
to be burning, and the fire had gained
such headway vhat it was impossible to
save the building. The Iobs is about
V’OiO, with $2,000 insurance. The
tire originated from a defective chim
ney.

Complimentary to Miss Murphey.
Tampa (Flo.) Time*.
Miss Marguerite Murphey, who is
the attractive guest of Mrs. A. C.
Clewis, was complimented with n very
artistic luncheon which Mrs. Clewis
gave for her. A delightful sentiment
was connected with this luncheon, the
Fairy Queen of Gasparilia island being
summoned to the luncheon. This little
queen, a beautiful doll gracefully
dressed as the Fairy Queen, was poised
in the center of the table, above a
handsome silver-edged reflector, and at
the base of the pedestal holding her
there was a hank of delicate golden
daffodils. Golden colored ribbons were
held by the doll queen and these ex
tended to the fifteen covers, where
they were attached to gold treasure
boxes holding the favors. When the
treasure boxes were opened they were
found to contain beautiful gold wishing
pins, which will bring good luck to the
guests of the day. The place-cards
were golden tinted and they were
fastened to cunning little flower pots
holding yellow daffodils. The Fairy
Queen brought greetings to the honor
guest, the Gasparilia queen. Miss
Daisy Guldens, and to Miss Margaret
Fuller, whose engagement was recently
announced, and these were delivered
during the progress of the luncheon.
At the close of the luncheon Miss Gid-
dens, the Queen of the Gasparillas, an
nounced that the Gasparilia Fairy
Queen should become the property of
Miss Murphey, and that she would
bring her every good thing in life.
Miss Giddens then presented Miss Mur
phey with the beautiful doll center-
piece, and this will bea prized souve
nir of a very beautiful and delightful
occasion. The place-cards at this table
named Mrs. A. C. Clewis, hostess: Miss
Marguerite Murphey, Miss Daisy Gid
dens, Miss Doris Knight, Miss Marjorie
Tibbetts, Miss Amelia Craft, Miss
Dorothy Gunby, Miss Margaret Fuller,
Miss Alese Owen, Miss Gertrude Me-
Fadden, Miss Virginia Bullard, Miss
Irma Hill, Mrs. J. B. Turman, Mrs.
Lovern, Mrs. J. McKay.

Death of Mrs. B. 0. HilL
Meriwether Vindicator, 28th inf*t.
The death of Mrs. B. O. Hill cast a
gloom over this city Monday night.
C|While known that she was seriously ill,
it was hoped that the prayers sent to the
Mercy Seat for her recovery might be
answered.
Mrs. Hill wns taken suddenly ill with
heart trouble Sunday night, (14th inst.,1
ami lingered until Monday evening at
6 o’clock, when the Angel of Death
summoned her soul to its heavenly
home.
The city has suffered a great loss by
the death of this good lady. She was
an angel of mercy and her feet pressed
the pathway whieh led to the homes of
sorrow and affliction. She was ever
about the Master's business, and many
hearts have been cheered by her pres
ence and her bounty.
*|When sickness laid its hand upon a
home in this city Mrs. Hill was the first
to find her way to the stricken precinct.
When sorrow came, she was there to
alleviate its pangs.
She personified the divine attribute
of charity, and her way through life
was a blcccing to those whom she
touched.
The world was better by her having
lived, and is poorer because of her
death.
Mrs. Hill was formerly Miss Ellen
Pinson, of Newnan. She was united
in marriage jto Mr. B. O. Hill, who,
with five children, Misses Martha and
Janie and Messrs. W. P.. Obed and
George Thomas Hill, are left to mourn
a faithful and devoted wife and moth
er.
She was a member of the Baptist
church, and dearly loved and followed
its teachings. She served her Lord and
Savior faithfully, and a crown of
righteousness is her eternal reward.
Her loved ones will miss and mourn
her, and many friends sorrow o'er her
departure.
The aroma of her beautiful life will
linger as a precious legacy and blessing
to those left behind.
Mrs. Hill was laid to rest in the city
eemetery Wednesday morning. Funeral
services were led by her pastor, Dr. J.
W. Perry, assisted by Rev. Mr. Davis
and Rev. J. T. Lakes.
After a well-spent life, she sleeps un
til the last trumpet shall call her to en
joy the blessings of eternal life.
Analyze the contents of your cup of
sorrow and you’ll be surprised at the
happiness found therein.
Even the people who stand up for
their own rights might prefer to sit in
the lap of luxury.
A Wonderful Healing Influence in
Kidney Troubles.
A year and a half ago 1 was taken
with a severe attack of kidney trouble
that pained me to such an extent that
morphine had to be given me. Was at
tended by a doctor who pronounced it
as stone in the bladder and prescribed
Lithia Water. 1 took Lithia Water and
Tablets for some time and received no
relief from them. I stopped taking
medicines for some time. Later, hav
ing some Swamp-Rool in the house, I
decided to try it, and felt much re
lieved. While taking the second bottle
l commenced to pasc gravel in urine
until I had passed at least half a dozen
or more, and have not suffered the
slightest since—and have in all taken
one bottle and a half and feel very
grateful to Swamp-Root.
Yours very truly,
