NEWMAN man KILLED ON
CROSSING near THERE
Defective Hearing Thought
to be Cause

Newman, Ga, April S.-Attemptine
to cross the tracks of the A. and w
F. railroad in a buggy, at an early
hour this morning, Charles C. Parrot,
president of the First National bank
and one of Newnan's most prominent
citizens was struck by the accomodd-
ton train and instantly killed.
The accident occurred two miles
south of Newman, at point known as
Bolton Crossing. The railroad makes
a rather sharp curve just below tn ;
point and approaches the crossing
through a deep cut. Owing to his de,
fective hearing and being unable to
command view of the railroad track
in that direction it is not supposed
that Mr.. PARROT realized his danger
until too late to escape.
His tragic death was great shock
to the community and is widely
mourned. He was about 81 years Of
age, and leaves a wife and two chill
dren, the latter being Mrs. Robert Orr
and Bigby Parrott, both of San Diego,
Cal. He is survived also by three
sisters, Mrs. NJ. H. Cliff, of Chatta-
nooga, Tenn; Mrs. R. H. Pillow, of
Columbia, Tenn, and Mrs. E. 7. Hoi
lingsworth of Gadsden, Ala.

SYSTEMATIC THE
SPRING CLEANING
Don't Turn Household Out of Usual
Routine, Clean a Room Day

In the early spring when the sun
begins to shine out with searching
brightness the housewife becomes
painfully conscious of a dingy LOOK
about her home. The sunlight seems
to seek out-of-the-way corners and to
show with startling distinctness what
careless maid or a lax mistress has
overlooked When closet doors are
opened the sight of dusty floors or
shelf edges greets the eyes unpleaa-
antly These things make her eager to
set about putting her house in order,
and it is well that she should begin
very early to plan her house cleaning
in advance of the actual work She
can then devise a system by which to
accomplish the best results with the
ledSI alSluTDdHCe VI the usual HOuST-
hold routine and comfort 1t is mis-
! take to disregard the family comfort
by turning the whole household topsy
turvy at once. Where only one maid
is kept one room should be cleaned At
a time and that room finished before
another is started
Make list of all articles you need 10
work with and see that you have
plenty of utensils on hand. Have you
a stepladder? Is it in good condition?
Ii not, have it made safe; for the step
/ ladder is indispensable when cleaning
house and should be dependable. Pro-
vide scrubbing brushes, new brooms,
mops for the hardwood floors, plenty
OF cheesecloth for polishing and thick
bags of outing flannel or similar cot
ton material to slip over the broom or
tops of brushes to be used on walls,
picture molding and woodwork.
Those who are so fortunate as 10
possess an attic should begin with );
and discard all useless or broken or
ticles which occupy valuable space
Then you will have a clean fresh and
spacious attic in which to pack awaS
the winter bed clothes and the wear
ing apparel of your family. Sort over
and air thoroughly the contents Of
boxes, trunks and cedar chests that
are stored in the attic. When all this
is done wash off all shelves ad scrub
the floor with luke-warm water an
soap or water in which washing soda
has been dissolved See that the win

dows are cleaned and kept clean; for
even when it is necessary to closs
them the sun and light are purifiers
and help to keep moths away.
Soap should not be used in washing
windows or mirrors as it makes the
glass cloudy. A little kerosene or al
cohol in the water gives brilliant
clearness and soft, old newspa-
pers are excellent for giving the final
