  Mr. W. J. Horton Passes Early Saturday at Senoia
 (Special Senoia Correspondence)
  Again the Angel of Death visited in our midst on Saturday morning and carried
 away the soul of Mr. William Jefferson Horton, leaving sad hearts crushed by
 the unexpected blow.
  Mr. Horton has been in poor health for many years but recently had seemed to be
 improved. He retired at the usual hour Saturday night but called Mrs. Horton
 later. She arose and ministered to his needs. She thought he was getting
 easier when Death came and called him to the Great Beyond.
  Mr. Horton was born near Williamson in Pike county on Feb. 25, 1870 the son of
 P. T. and Amelia Cook Horton. He was married to Alice Nixon on May 4, 1893.
 He had been a citizen of Senoia since August 1905. A kind, loving father and
 a devoted husband, and industrious citizen and consecrated friend, he left sorrow
 in the lives of his loved ones.
  Funeral services were conducted at the residence Sunday afternoon at two o'clock
 by Rev. J. B. Gresham and interment was in the city cemetery.
  Surviving him are his wife and two children Miss Mozelle Horton, of Atlanta, and
 Mr. Paul Horton, of Montgomery, Ala., and three grandchildren.
