ter Arthur Ellington of Thomson.
Judge Ellington had for a number of
years been one of the most prominent
citizens of McDuflic county. He had
always taken an active interest in pub
lic affairs. He was prominent as an
Allianccmati and was at one time
Htate president of of that order. He
served a term in the State Senate as
Senator from the 29th district and later
he was for nine years Ordinary of Mc
Duffie county. It was under his ad
ministration asOrdinary that thesplen
did system of public roads of McDuflic
county w is developed, and they will
stand ns a monument to li is memory
for years to come.
Judge Ellington was a man of strong
convictions, true and loyal to his
friends, fearless in all of the walks of
life, aiul he leaves behind him many
who loved and admired him as a friend,
and who sincerely regret his untimely
end.
“Yes, f have not heard from Louise’s
father in a long time. He brought, her
to me because I had been her mothers
friend when she was a baby, saying he
would send money for her but has
never sent anything.” The poor wo
man could not bear the expense of her
support.

Mr- J B. Neal Has Narrow Escape.
Last Haturilay afternoon Mr. J. B.
Neal had a narrow escape from a very
serious accident and perhaps death.
He was going to Atlanta and attempt
ed to get adoard the 4 p. m. train while
it was in motion, tie was thrown
violently to the ground and partially
under the train but succeeded i n
extricating himself before he was
caught by the whe sis.
The accident was witnessed by n
large number of people. Mr. Neal’s
friends are glad that no serious results
followed the accident.

Thomson is soon to here n new code,
but it will not be before it is needed.
In 1890 the ordinances of the town

Mayor Boyd is making arrangements I
to have tlie records thoroughly search- fe/

together, after which they w ill l>e re- 0

It is estimated that enough of the

to pay the expenses of getting up the
