town. lie had been i'll for some time,
at his fathers residence here, but his
friends did not know that death was SO
near. Mr.. Brown was taken worse at

Friday morning, and all that was NOR
tai Of Waiter w. Brown was laid to
rest in the cemetery in the presence of
many sad!cncd friends. Mr.. Brown
was the eldest son Of DR.. and Mrs. H..
+. Brown, and graduated ut f'urman
University some years ago. He chose
teaching rs his profession, and, going
to Tennessee, acted as principal Of the
MurfrccsbOrO High School. He mar
licd Miss Roberta y. Mooney, Il lovely
young woman of Tennessee, who, it
will be remembered, belonged to the
WILLIAMSON Female College Faculty

short duration. Mrs. Brown was an

ing in Tennessee and Georgia for some
time Mr.. Browns health failed and he
was compelled to give up his chosen

We have no one but ourselves to
blame for the curtailmcnt OF our COM
municati0n last week bearing on pro
llibition. The article was sent i'll late
to the INTELLIGENCER, and we had
.donbts about it appearing ut al. The
last sentence on this subject rs it ar-
peared was as follows: IL propose to
vote for five prohibitionists for tho
Legislature" A proviso attached to
that sentence was this. provided five
gentlemen make the race, who make
the requirements necessary for my
vote" The remainder of the article,
read something like this. "The last
decade has witnessed the elimination
of the bar room from our proud old
State, Why not let the opening month
of the new century see the enactment
of an iron clad prohibition law and the
inaugural of strong prohibition Gov
ernor, who will do all in his power to en-
force it7 Beg pardon, Mr. Editor for
consuming this space, but prefer net
TO be numbered with the prohibition
cranks and fanatics, who go teeth and
toenails for any candidate who claims
to be prOhibitionist, and vote for him
whether he possesses any..othergqualifi-
cations or net.
Mrs. NJ. A. Mahaffey, Of the " illianl-
ston Hotel, has returned from n visit to
her son, Lewis, who has been in the en-
plOy of the King Hardware Co., of At
lanta, Ga. Since her arrival she has
been notified of his illness in the G Grady
Hospital. His friends want to hear of
his early recovery. Cheer up old, Mac.
Puta little moro stiffening in that up
per lip. and you will pull through
yet. We were in Atlanta recently and
learned that Mr. Mahaffey takes the
lNTELLIGENCER and thus keeps up with
evel ,transpiring in his native County.
