The press of Georgia learned with sadness the death of Rev. S.P. Callaway,
editor of the LaGrange Reporter, who died at his home in LaGrange on Tuesday
morning. Mr. Callaway was a prominent Baptist minister and served many
churches. He was a perfect Christian gentleman and served his church
faithfully until forced by deafness to give up the ministry when he took to
journalism. He had been editor of the Reporter for sixteen years and made it
one of the brightest and best weekly papers in Georgia. The loss of Mr.
Callaway will be sadly felt by his family, his city, his church, the press and
the people at large.
