GA NEWSPAPER NOTICES FROM "THE HERALD & ADVERTISER", Newnan, Coweta County, Georgia for SEPTEMBER 20th thru SEPTEMBER 27th, 1907 NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, September 20, 1907 CARROLLTON News BRIEF SKETCH OF the honorable H.W. Long, a native of Carroll County, Georgia, by Chas. M. Speer Hon. H.W. Long, a native of the "free state of Carroll" comes from one of the oldest and best known families in the State. He is a son of Capt. Benjamin M. Long, a gallant Confederate soldier, who followed "fighting Joe Wheeler" while that great soldier foraged like a lion on the enemy's ranks during the four years of the Civil War. On the 30th of August 1855, Mayor Long made his advent into the city of Carrollton and for two years ruled his father's household as most babies do. So tactful and suave did the lad appear that the soothsayers of the day prophecised that he would be six times the mayer of a great city. This was destiny and nothing could avert it's decree. The prophecy has had literal fulfillment and its decrees have transpired to a jot and to a title. There is yet enough energy and administrative ability left in him to make things hum should he apply for right of way to any office in the gift of our people. On attaining this majority he studied law and was admitted to the bar. The practice of law being incompatible with his inclinations he abandoned it for a mercantile career which he pursued until recent years. On the 13th of January 1881, he was married to Miss Lula E. Mandeville, daughter of Hon. Appleton Mandeville. As a result of this union five children were born, one son and four daughters; Benjamin M., the son, will soon make his home in Central America. Lula E., the eldest daughter is the wife of Col. Chas. E. Roop, a rising young lawyer, and Solicitor of the City of Carrollton. Ida S., resides with her husband, Mr. Francis M. Long, a merchant of Corona, Ala; Mary and Helen, the younger daughters reside with their father at his elegant home on Maple street and have presided over the household affairs since the death of their mother in 1903. In a business way, Mayor Long is connected with his brothers-in-law, Hon. L.C. Mandeville and Capt. L.P. Mandeville who owns considerable coal and mineral lands in Alabama.... ________ DEATH OF A PATRIARCH Moses T.

She was a good woman, a devoted wife and mother, no sacrifice being too great that would bring happiness to her loved ones.
