Hollis and at the time of her death was 72 years of age. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon from the residence of her son at 124 Spring street, the services being conducted by Dr. R.J.

The family will have hosts of friends in Newnan who will regret very much to lose them from the community. --- Mrs. J.T. Arnall of Senoia was bitten yesterday afternoon by a mad dog, and for several hours the town was much excited over this unfortunate occurrence. The dog first attacked a hog on the street and then jumped the fence into the backyard of the Arnall home and caught a chicken. Not suspecting the dog was mad, Mrs. Arnall ran out and attempted to drive it away, when the maddened brute sprang upon her and bit her severely on the arm in two or three places. The entire town turned out to hunt the dog but the chase was a fruitless one and at last accounts, the animal is still at large. Mrs. Arnall was taken to Atlanta on the afternoon train and is now under treatment at the Pasteur Institute in that city. ---- DEATH OF CAPT. TOM LEWIS Capt. J.T. Lewis, whose illness has been mentioned in previous issues of this paper, died Wednesday afternoon at the home of his sister-in-law Mrs. Sarah Towns, on Clark street, after an illness extending over a period of nearly twelve months. He was 81 years of age, forty years of his life having been spent in Newnan, where he was loved and esteemed by all who knew him. He was a veteran of the Civil War, entering the Confederate Army as Captain of the "Atlanta Grays", Co. F., 8th Ga Rgt. and continuing in the service until the close of the hostilities. After the war he formed a business connection with Carhart Bros. of New York and for twenty year or longer traveled in the South in the interest of his firm, his family remaining in Newnan. He was a most genial and companionable gentleman, a gentleman of the old school, making friends of all with whom he came in contact and the annoucement of his death will be read with genuine regret wherever he was known. He is survived by his wife and three sons, the latter being Mr. H.T. Lewis of Atlanta, Mr. A.R. Lewis of Newnan and Mr. C.R. Lewis of Brooklyn, N.Y. He leaves also one brother and two sisters, Mr. Chas. H. Lewis, Mrs. N.J. Hammond and Mrs. J.D. Turner, all of Atlanta.

Fry brought sorrow not alone to his immediate home and loved ones but cast a shadow also upon sorrowing hearts in every part of the county. All who knew him deplore his death. Trained by his father Harry Fry and the inheritor of many noble qualities from his pious grandfather Rev. John Fry, and nurtured by the love of a devoted mother, small wonder that he would have enjoyed to so large a degree the confidence and esteem of his fellowmen. The writer often noted his devotion to family and remarked with pleasure the strong ties that blended his life with theirs. A good man has gone to his reward and the world is poorer for the loss. --- We also deplore the recent death of Mr. J.B.

He was born and reared in this community and was a faithful, upright citizen and exemplary Christian. He carried sunshine wherever he went, always having a cheerful word for everybody. Had he lived until Sept. 17th he would have been 47 years of age. He had been a consistent member of Bethlehem Baptist church for about twenty-seven years. Rev.

Russell Sewell took its flight from his Lone Oak home for the mansion prepared for it in his "Father's House". For days it had lingered in the "valley of the shadow of death", held in bondage by the worn and shattered frame, which seemed loath to part with that which held it to earth; and the release was a happy one. For more than the allotted threescore years and ten, Mr. Sewell had lived and labored, loving and being loved, where his lot has been cast. Had he sojourned among us til the coming November, he would have completed his 77th year. Since early life, his home had been in this community, identified with its every interest, honored and trusted as one of its most influential citizens. As a Christian and a prominent member of Prospect M.E. Church, he was ever a power for good in his devotion to his church and its interests. More than this, and above all, the beautiful consistency of his daily life made him an example, and won for him the confidence and esteem of all. The funeral services held at Prospect yesterday afternoon were a fitting tribute to one so honored and beloved. The audience filled the church to its capacity. Nearly all of Lone Oak were related, in near or distant degree to "Uncle Russell", and Grantville, Hogansville and Lutherville were largely represented by near relatives and other friends. The services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. A.H.S. Bugg. The music was conducted by Mrs. Glenn Arnold of Grantville and the tender, consolatory songs were well rendered by Mrs. Arnold, the choir assisting. Surviving Mr. Sewell is his noble wife - - his faithful and devoted helpmate through all the vicissitudes of more than fifty years, the last two of which her time, health and strength have been given entirely to the care demanded by his condition. Of the children given them, five remain, two daughters, Mrs. Leila Thomas and Mrs. J.N. Nall of Lone Oak and three sons, Messrs. J.O. Sewell of Grantville, W.R. Sewell of Lone Oak and M.B. Sewell of Hogansville. May God comfort each heart so heavily touched by this bereavement. Seventeen grandchildren and seven great grandchildren are among those whom Mr. Sewell left, above and beyond all other inheritance, that good name which "is rather to be chosen than great riches: May each and all emulate his example and win by noble lives the possession of this priceless jewel, and may the future prove that among them are great souls who wil lin time more than fill the places in the community and in the church made vacant by the taking away of their grandfather. --- CARD OF THANKS We desire to thank our neighbors and friends for the many kindnesses shown us during the late illness of our dear mother and for numerous expressions of sympathy since her death.

Something over a year ago he formed a stock company and bought the Bradley stock. The company organized under the name of the Huffaker Drug. Co., Dr. Huffaker becoming president and manager. He was personally popular, and stood high in the community both as a citizen and business man. His death is deplored by everyone and especially by those who enjoyed a close friendship with him. He was about 50 years of age and is survived by his wife to whom he married in Dec. 1906. He had no other near relatives. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon from the residence, services being conducted by Dr. J.S. Hardaway.

BROADWATER In the death of James B. Broadwater, who died on the 24th of August, the community has sustained a great loss. In fact, none in the neighborhood was more universally appreciated for his goodness of heart and kindly disposition than Jim Broadwater. The subject of this sketch loved his fellow man and was never happier than when doing good to someone who needed his kindly assistance; and when the sad news of his death was announced there was universal sorrow wherever he was known. He was of a disposition rarely found in this day and time. He did not think evil of anyone and while kind and considerate to all with whom he came in contact, he was especially a father to the orphan and a friend to the widow. His big heart went out in sympathy to anyone in distress and he was never so busy that he could not visit and minister to the sick and needy. He lived his religion and his neighbors appreciated and loved him with genuine affection. Although not a rich man, his charity surpassed in amount and extent a great many who were worth a great deal more than he. He was a humble man and never regarded his good deeds as anything more than was his duty. He was of great faith, trusted the Lord and felt that His grace was sufficient. Knowing him as a neighbor for a good many years, the writer does not know of anyone who possessed more virtues and had fewer vices than this good man who has gone to his reward. It may be truthfully said of Jim Broadwater that he was a man without guile. He could forgive an injury. Indeed, such a nature as his could not bear malice against anyone. Through years of intimacy the writer can truly say that he never heard him speak evil of anyone and this is one of the greatest virtues. A Neighbor ---- IN MEMORIAM OF MRS. ELIZABETH BRIDGES Beautiful indeed was the life of Mrs. Elizabeth Bridges, who passed to her reward on Aug. 4th at the age of 74. She was the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Parke E. Arnold and was born in Oglethorpe county March 10, 1843. She moved to Coweta county and spent the remainder of her life at the old homestead. Two children, Mrs. F.W. Eberhart and Mr. Nat C. Bridges survive her; one daughter and her husband preceded her to the beyond several years ago. She was the only daughter and the last to pass to her reward. What is there on this earth which compares to the beauty of a perfect Christian character? Such was the life of Mrs. Bridges, beautiful in the extreme, always gentle, loving and kind to everyone. Her devotion to her family was beautiful. On this bright August day as the sun was rapidly making its way to the western horizon, this true, noble life slipped away from loved ones here to join that happy band on the bright and peaceful shore. Without one moment of warning to those around her, she took leave, that she might live where the roses bloom forever and the sun is always bright. How easy it will be to recognize her in the haven of rest, for no suffering, no tedious spells of sickness, will come to change the expression of her peaceful countenance. True to her lord and master, true to her family, true to her pastor, true to her church, were some of the characteristics of her noble life. Such a jewel of this earth, so thoughtful was she of those around her at all times and especially in sickness. It having been my good fortune to know this noble Christian character, I can speak from experience that it was never my pleasure to be in her company without being lifted to a higher lane, for she was endowed with an intellect above the average. She was a perfect type of gentlewoman of the old school. How she will be missed; only those who came in contact with her inspiring and uplifting life will know. What a pleasure it was to sit and listen as she told of the different fine sermons she had heaerd, the many preachers of the North Georgia Conference she had known and how at the old Jones campground near Palmetto she joined the M.E. Church forty-seven years ago and had ever lived in the faith, in order that she might receive the welcome plaudit. "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou unto the joys of the Lord." ---- IN MEMORIAM OF MRS. D.H. BROWN At her residence in Sharpsburg on July 25th, the spirit of Mrs. D.H. Brown took its flight to realms on high. So peacefully, so quietly, did she pass away that it was as "falling sleep in the arms of her Savior." Never a murmur escaped her lips during her illness. Possessed of a bright and cheerful disposition, she was also a consecrated Christian woman, one who loved the house of the Lord and was ever ready and willing to do the work of the Master. In young womanhood she united with the Baptist church at Sharpsburg and remained a consistent member until called up higher. She leaves three sons, one sister and many other relatives to mourn her departure. Farewell dear Ella, until we meet again in the sweet bye and bye. "Thus, one by one, we shall go And leave our places vacant here, But in the better land we know They never shed the parting tear." One Who Loved Her. ---- GRANTVILLE News Mrs. Wm.

Fry was born in Coweta county near Moreland, on Sept. 17, 1861 and departed this life Aug. 25, 1908. He spent his entire life in the community of his birth. He was married to Miss Mollie Hendrix in Dec. 1881. He is survived by his wife, three sons and five daughters. He was a consistent member of the Baptist church and a worthy member of the Masonic fraternity, his membership having been with Bigham Lodge No. 53. Bro. Fry was a good man, true to his friends, loyal to his church, faithful to his family and obedient to his God. He was of a happy, cheerful disposition, carrying sunshine wherever he went. He was one of Coweta's best citizens. He was a thrifty farmer and lived an industrious, useful life. He died after a long illness during which time he bore his sufferings with true Christian patience and fortitude. He was aware of his approaching dissolution, expressed faith in his Savior and dwelt upon the beautiful hope of a life eternal. From a human standpoint it would seem such a life might have been spared to continue in usefulness for many years longer; but he humbly bow to the will of an all-wise Providence, and extend to his bereaved family our sincere sympathy and brotherly love, trusting that they and the friends who knew him best will all finally meet again, where there shallbe no trials and no death.
