ONLY CRISP CO. CLERK DIES IN BARNESVILLE.
Barnesville, Ga., April 15-

France.

held this place continuously till his death.

Mrs. John W. Walters, of Cordele; Mrs. Turner Hughes, of Statesboro; Mrs. 
Hardin Sapp, of Columbus, and Mrs. Robert Wynne, of Eastman.
The funeral will occur in Barnesville tomorrow afternoon.  Rev. T. B. Stanford 
will attend from here along with a number of close friends of the family.
