He WAS JAILED BY MISTAKE
Smering, the Piano Man. Victim of q
Case of Mistaken Identity.
Justly Indignant.

Mr.. Edward E. Smering, the we'll
known piano tuner of Atlanta who
spends considerable part of his
time IN Dawson, surprised his friends
upon his arrival here four or five
days ago with the statement that he
was just out of the Dougherty county
JAIL and was feeling real good on
once more enjoying freedom.
1t was case of mistaken identi-
ty. Mr.. Smering said he was taken
IN custody on suspicion of being a
man who was wanted in Florida on
the charge of stealing a piano and
for whom there was a reward of
$40. Although he protested his
innocence he was taken to prison
and locked in a cell and kept there
without being permitted to commune
cate with any of his friends and ac-
quaintances until an officer arrived
from Florida and stated he was not
the man who was wanted
Mr.. Smering is very indignant at
the treatment he received at the
hands of the Albany officers, and a
damage suit will probably be the
outcome of the affair.

Her seventy-one years of earthly

acter that made her the model wo-

for all that is noble and best in hui
mankind was known to two genera
lions of Eufaula women, who knew
her so we'll in the days gone by when
her distinguished lamented husband
was president of Union Female Col
lege and she was the friend of the
girls.
For several years she has been
an invalid, lately a great sufferer,

relief to her pain-racked body.
Besides her two sons, Messrs. F.
M. and w. r. Patterson, she leaves
niece whom she reared, Mrs. w.
A. McLain, of Dawson, Ca, and a
devoted sister, Mrs. j. c. McRae, of

and sorrow her death brings to them

day morning from the First Baptist
church.
The casket was literally covered
with beautiful flowers, breathing
the tender affection of friends of
long years, and the large congre-

for this good woman"
