Funeral Services Were Largely
Attended.
Universal sorrow was caused Ia the
city early Friday morning by Inc an
nouncement that Ex-Sherif T. X.
Thornton was dead.
In his last sickness, which was OF sey-
era. weeks duration, Mr.. Thornton was
a great sufferer, but bore his afdietion
with patient fortitude that was remark
able.
Bv the familiar name of 4'Tobe," Mr..
Thornton was known to almost every
one, and probably no man ever had d
greater number of friends among those
who knew him. He was of genial and
warm-hearted disposition, and always
had apleasant word for everybody. AS
friend none were ever truer- True
friendship vas a prominent TRAIT of his
character. and at all times and under all
circumstances he was ever ready to
lend whatever assistance he could 70 a
friend.
Mr.. Thornton served one term as
sheriff of Terrell cOunty. He was true
to the responsible public trust COM
mitted to his hands, and made one of the
most efficient officers who ever held that
position. The county never had bet
ter sheriff.
The remains were inferred in the city
cemetery Friday afternoon, the funeral
procession being one of the largest ever
seen here. DR.. Patterson very impress
sively performed the last sad rites.
To the stricken widow and three
fatherless children the entire community
extend their heartfelt sympathies.

.aa Gets Large MajOrities in His
Counties.
Since the last issue of TIE NEWS
twelve counties have selected delegates
to the. gubernatorial convention.
OF these Floyds six votes, Dekalb's
four, Whitfeld's two, Lowndes' two and
sRandolph's two are placed in the Evans
column by good majorities, making 16

Atkinson carried DOdge's two votes,
Troupis four, Carroll's four, Mucogee's
four, wilkes four, McDufieIs two, and
,Glasscocks two, % votes.
A noticeable feature of the result is
the small majorities in all the Atkinson
counties. The majority for General Ev-
ans in either Floyd or DeKalb was as
large as the majority for Mr.. Atkinson in
all of his counties.
Gen oral Evans carried Floyd by $50
majority, DeKalb by about $50 and Whit
field by 100.
Atkinson carried Muscogee by 13,
Troup by25, Dodge by 10, McDufie by

Carroll, Troup and Musgogee, being in

JAY VS.. SPARROW.
The Jay Bird lie an Enemy to the English
Pest

The Jay Bird lie an Enemy to the English
Pest.
According to Captain Dillon and Mr..
Wilhelm there is nothing congenial be-
tween the jay bird and the English spar
row. While these gentlemen were sit
ting on the porch at the Barnes House a
few mornings ago they saw jay bird fly
to a sparrow nest and take out the young
birds and deliberately pick them TO
pieces.
The jay has always been considered a
useless and unpopular bird, bu. if it
proves formidable foe to the sparrow il
will soon be given place in the esteem OF
tie public. 1t seems that everybody and
nearly everything is arrayed against the
energetic little sparrows, but in spite of
all this they continue to thrive and null
tiply. Their staying qualities are not to
be discounted.
