May a kind Providence reward each of these dear ones. Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Addy, Senoia, Ga. ---- POWELL - NEWTON WEDDING A brilliant event of last evening was the wedding of Miss Bessie Powell and Mr. Park Newton of Jackson, Ga., which took place at 9 o'clock at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. L.R. Powell. --- LEGAL NOTICE Georgia, Coweta County E.C. Pitts having applied to the Court of Ordinary of said county for guardianship of the property of Mrs. Victoria A. Pitts, all persons concerned are required to show cause in said court by the first Monday in July next, if they can, why said application should not be granted. This June 5, 1908. L.A. Perdue, Ordinary ---- AMOS J. PERSONS I read from a prized memorial card: "In loving remembrance of dear father, Amos J. Persons; born Jan. 3, 1823, died Jan. 13, 1908; aged 85 years, 10 days. Gone, but not forgotten." " A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in the home Which never can be filled. God in His wisdom has recalled The body his love had given, And though the body slumbers here, The soul is safe in heaven." These last words are heart expressions of not only his children but of a host of friends. He was born and reared, I think, in the Sixth district of Coweta county. Was married Feb. 21, 1844 to Lordusky Ann Hudgens. Was a member of Phillips' Legion during the Civil War. United with the M.E. Church, South in 1871. Death having claimed his wife, he for several years had regarded the home of his devoted son Henry as home. There, in Anniston, Ala., after a brief but painful illness, he died. Eighty-five years is a long time in which to make friends. Friendship meant so much to him. "No one, knowing him intimately, could but love him, if capable of loving anyone", has been truly said of him. To how many families he has been a friend even unto the third generation. If once a friend, forever a friend! In his dealings with his fellow men he was ever just. As a soldier he was brave, as a citizen he was highly respected; as a husband and father he was devoted; as a Christian he was consistent. His son said "I felt that I should carry his remains back to Coweta for burial but the children begged so hard that Grandpa should be buried where they could visit and look after his grave, and my wife pleased so earnestly with them for the same, and the little children who knew him and learned to love him so much, insisted so strenuously that "Grandpa" should be buried where they could place flowers on his grave, that I finally yielded." We can understand why the children loved him; he never grew too old to join in play with them. The death of the aged to me is doubly sad. They become twofold endeared. We love them because, in our childhood, they held our hands to stay our stumbling footsteps. They have grown feeble in service to make life sweeter for us. Now the hand that led us rests upon our arm, and they become to us our children. We try to steady their tottering steps and when they are gone, we mourn for them as our parents, as our children. I wonder if he is sorry for our pain, or if, grown wise, he counts them vain, idle, these heavy sighs, these longings for his presence again? God help the bereaved son, daughter and grandchildren to be content to leave him to his endless rest, to enjoy immortal youth, while they grow old; and when time has changed to eternity, may they, too, be welcomed to the fold. A.L.P.B., Turin, Ga., May 26, 1908. ----- RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT BY EBENEZER BAPTIST CHURCH During the past year the Angel of Death visited us and removed from our midst our beloved sister Martha A. Bohannon. She was one of our oldest members, having joined Ebenezer church by experience Aug. 8, 1847 and died Nov. 28, 1907. She was kind and affectionate to all who knew her. She lived to a ripe old age. She had seen the church in prosperous condition in her young days, though in her last days her health was so infirm she could not attend services regularly. She loved the community in which she lived and was ever ready to teach the truths of Christianity. As it hath pleased the good Lord to remove her, we bow in humble submission to His will, giving Him thanks that she was spared to us so long, and now rejoice in the blessed assurance that she lives with her Savior in the world above, where no sickness or sorrow will be known any more. Done by order of Ebenezer church in conference March 21, 1908. During the present year the Angel of Death has removed from our church and community our beloved sister, Susan Brack. She departed this life on the 15th day of January 1908. She was a devoted wife and mother and highly esteemed by all who knew her. She was a zealous and devoted Christian, ever ready by her prayers and sympathies to sustain and cheer and comfort her brethren and sisters. She conducted herself in the community in which she lived in such a way as ever to point the path of Christian duty and the love of the church. In her death the church has sustained an irreparable loss, but our loss is her eternal gain. She professed religion early in life and joined the church at Corinth. She united with Ebenezer church by letter on Aug. 22, 1894 and remained a consistent member until her death. As it hath pleased the good Lord to remove her from our midst, we must submit to His divine will, and now rejoice in the blessed assurance that she lives with her Savior in that world above, where there shall be neither sickness nor suffering any more and where troubles never come. We believe we shall meet her in that "blessed beyond" where they will be no sorrow or tears. Done by order of the Ebenezer church in conference, March 21, 1908. Mrs. S.E. Vineyard Mrs. S.A.

Wesley Wilson Addy was born in Lexington county, S.C. on Oct. 9, 1827 and died at his home near Haralson, Ga., Feb. 25, 1908, being 80 years of age. When 17 years of age he moved with his father to Georgia and settled near Haralson. In early life he was confirmed in Salem Evangelical Lutheran church in Lexington, thereby assuming the baptismal vows made by his parents for him in his infancy, and he ever lived a true, consecrated Christian life. On Feb. 20, 1851, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Gable Weems, nee Bernhard of Henry County, Ga., from which union twelve chidren were born, eight sons and four daughters, al of whom survive. His wife preceded him to the spirit world several years ago. In the late War Between the States, he enlisted and did service in the State Militia. He was a true and faithful soldier, cheerfully performing any duty imposed upon him. At the close of the war, he returned to his home and family near Haralson and devoted his time to the rearing of his family and educating his children. He also reared two orphan nieces. Bro. Addy was made a Maston Mason in Haralson Lodge No. 142 on the 9th day of April 1864 and remained a faithful member until his death. Forty-four years a Mason, he has gone to answer the roll call in the Grand Lodge above. He met all men upon the level, squaring his life with all mankind by the square of virtue. Bro. Addy was a true and affectionate husband, a kind, loving and indulgent father, a good citizen, and a lovable neighbor, being ever ready to assist the poor and needy. None knew him but to love him. He loved his church, and when able attended his meetings regularly, being ever ready to assist in any charitable work either in church or community. Therefore, be it resolved: 1. That in the death of Bro. Addy the community has lost one of its most beloved citizens; Mt. Pilgram Evangelist Luthern church one of its oldest and most devoted members and strongest supporters; and Haralson Lodge one of its oldest and truest members. 2. That Haralson Lodge tender the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy in this their sad bereavement. 3. That a page of our minute book be inscribed to his memory and that the Lodge wear the usual badge of mourning for 30 days. 4. That a copy of these resolutions be furnished the family of our deceased brother, and that a copy be sent also to the Senoia Enterprise-Gazette and Newnan Herald and Advertiser with the request that they publish the same.

Talley Jr. will be deeply grieved to hear of his death which occurred Monday afternoon at the home of his parents Mr. and Mrs. C.W. Talley in the Third district. The young man was apparently in the best of health last week and Friday had attended to his usual duties on the farm. Early Sunday morning however he was attacked by congestion of the brain and Dr. W.A. Turner was hurriedly summoned. He grew steadily worse during the day, notwithstanding every effort was made to relieve his suffering and on Monday afternoon he breathed his last, surrounded by all the members of his family. The deceased was 18 years of age and a splendid young man, whose excellent qualities and noble traits had won the esteem of all who knew him. The funeral took place Tuesday, being conducted by Rev. V.A. Ham. The interment was at Corinth. --- MRS. R.J. STEWART PASSES AWAY After many weeks of suffering, Mrs. R.J. Stewart breathed her last on Friday afternoon, and her gentle spirit winged its flight to the God whom she had loved and served so loyally in life and on whom she leaned and trusted with such childlike faith in the dark hour when her soul reached out for a safe anchorage in the world invisible. She had been ill about two months and her case presented so many complications that medical skill was complete baffled. She grew steadily worse until finally physical endurance could hold out no longer and then she passed away. The deceased was a splendid woman, a thorough Christian and was loved and esteemed by all who knew her. A husband, three young sons and an aged mother are left to mourn their loss, besides a number of other relatives all of whom have the deep sympathies of the community in their bereavement. A short funeral service was held at the residence Saturday afternoon, Dr. R.J. Bigham and Rev. W.J. Cotter officiating, after which the remains were conveyed to Coke's Chapel, in the Sixth district, where the final obsequies were conducted by Rev. L.L. Landrum and the interment was made. ---- DEATH OF PROF. H.L. BANKS The remains of Prof. H.L. Banks whose death occurred at a private sanitorium in Atlanta on Tuesday last, were brought to Newnan the following day and after services at the First Methodist church at 3 p.m., they were interred in Oak Hill cemetery. The services were conducted by Dr. R.J. Bigham, assisted by Rev. W.J. Cotter. He had been ill for several weeks but not until a few days before his death was it realized that his condition was serious. He was carried to a sanitorium in Atlanta with the hope that an operation might be performed that would bring relief, but unfortunately the disease had progressed too far to admit of an operation and he died shortly after reaching the institution. Prof. Banks was 41 years of age and was born and reared in Coweta county. He graduated from Emory College in 1901 and adopting the profession of a teacher, taught successfully thereafter at different points in the state. At the time of his death he was principal of Farmer's High School at Sargent. Six years ago he was married to Miss Josephine Hollen of Canton, Ga. Two children were born to the couple, but both died in infancy. Besides his disconsolate young wife he is survived by his father, two sisters and one brother as well as a host of other relatives. He was a member of the Methodist church and also belonged to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. ---- STEPHENS - WHITE Marriage One of the prettiest home weddings of the season was that of Miss Minnie Stephens and Mr. DeWitt Talmage White of Atlanta, which took place Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C.P.
