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. 1 the Invigorating Whiff of the Pine Forests! How it clears the throat and head of ts muc0UB ailments.

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.

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.
