On Friday morning last, in the Third
district, a negro youth numed Coley Mc-
Koy shot and killed a negro girl about
15 years of age. There were no eye
witnesses, it seems, but McKoy claims
that the killing was accidental. He
came to town and surrendered to Sheriff
Brewster, and is now in jail awaiting a
further investigation. His commitment
trial will be held on Wednesday next.
The fertilizer season will open next
month with a higher range of prices
for all grades than has been known in
fifty years. The 10-2-2 grades will sell
at $33 to $35 per ton, and higher grades
will be proportionately dear. It is evi
dent that fertilizer sales will be light
at the prices named, which means an
other short cotton crop, no matter how
propitious the seasons may be.
Will Keep Open Christmas Day.— Al
ways on Christmas Day it haB been my
cuBtom to keep my store open for busi
ness. It will be the same thiB year.
Many people, I find, are disappointed in
being unable to secure what they want
earlier; so I keep open to accommodate
them, and will be pleased to wait upon
all callers on Christmas Day.

HIPANY
Mr. Hugh Buchanan, who has been
residing iti New York for the past three
years, bought transportation and
started home Wednesday to spend the
holidays; hut while on his way to the
train he was seized with a sudden illness
and had to be carried to a hospital. The
hospital physicians thought at first that
he had appendicitis, but after a second
and more careful examination they de
cided that it was a less serious trouble,
and that he would bo able in a few
days to resume his journey. Mr. Frank
Orr, who is attending a medical college
in that city, has been with him since he
was taken to the hospital, and will
probably accompany him home.
The Newnan friends of Mrs. Carrie
Sponcler were deeply grieved to learn
of her death, which occurred Saturday
afternoon at College Park, where she
had been making her, home for the
past two years. She is survived by
two brothers, F. R. Hughey, of East
Point, and J. 15. Hughey, of Carroll
ton, and five sisters, Mrs. M. A. Dickey,
of Dallas, Tex., Mrs. A. K. Hemperly,
of East Point, Mrs. Britt Kilgore, id'
Dallas, Ga., Mrs. W. A. Wright, of |
, Rome, and Mrs. J. J. Vance, of Talla-
j poosa. She was 70 years of age. Her re- j I
mains were brought to Newnan and in- ! j
terred in the family lot Sunday after
noon, after funeral services by her
former pastor, Rev. J. E. Hannah.
A tenant house on Mr. R. V. Webb’s
farm, 3$ miles south of town, was de
stroyed by fire between 1 and 5 o'clock
Monday morning. The house was occu
pied by Ida Taylor and her two children
— Emma, a girl of 15, and Alfred, a
boy of 13—and their charred bodies
were found in the ruins. Mr. Starling
Carpenter, whose farm adjoins the!
Webb place, was the first to visit the
scene, and his gruesome discovery was |
reported to Sherilf Brewster. An ex- ,
umination of the bodies showed that the I
Taylor woman’s neck had been broken,
and that the boy had a deep cut on the j
side of his face, as if made by some
sharp instrument. The finding of an
axe in the bed occupied by the woman
and her son, together with. a blood-1
stained cloth around the hoy's neck,
led to the suspicion tnat the Taylor
woman ami her iwo children bad been
murdered and the house burned to con
ceal evidences of the crime. Acting
upon this theory Sheriff Brewster and I
Deputy Sheriff Jackson arrested a ne-1
