DEATH OF JUDGE POWERS
We deeply regret to announce the decease of Hon A.P.
Powers, at his residence in Vineville, on Sunday
morning last 4 o'clock. The sad event has taken the
whole community by surprise, for although Judge
Powers had been very ill for more than a week, he
was generally understood to be past the crisis of
his disorder and in a fair way to recovery.

His body was interred at Rose Hill Cemetery Monday
morning attended by a large concourse of sorrowing
relatives and friends.

As a citizen, lawyer, scholar and jurist, Judge
Powers enjoyed a position in Middle Georgia which
will enlist her ablest pens in honor to his memory.
To them we leave a duty which we could not
adequately perform.
