Mr. Kirby’s new block is rapidly
being pushed forward. The brick
work is all completed, except a
portion of the front, which is being
laid in beautiful pressed brick. The
carpenters keep pace with the brick
masons and it will soon be covered
in. The massive iron front was
cast by the R. D. Cole Manufactur
ing Company, of our city.
The season of the year is now at
hand when the boys ca n enjoy an
occasional trip to the creeks and
ponds afishing, and return with a
pleasing and interesting account of
the number of fine fish they caught.
It has always seemed very strange
to us that a man just from the
muddy banks of White Oak oi some
ither creek, could not or would not
come right out and tell the truth
as to his success.
The privilege of telling fish stories
is time honore 1 and universal; and
we suppose will continue for all
time to come.
Through the kindness of Mr. T. F.
Parrott we have before us a copy of
the San Antonio Express, in which
we find the following favorable re
port of crops in that section of Tex
as: The oat crop now being har
vested is said to be very fine, and
some arrivals are looked for next
week. Cotton blooms are now seen
in several fields, and farmers are
busy working the crop. They say
the present weather is all that could
be expected and corn is maturing
very fast.
COLLEGE TEMPLE.
The Commencement sermon will
be preached atCollege Temple next
Sunday morning by Rev. G. B.
Strickler, D. D., of Atlanta. There
will not be morning services at any
of the churches. ,
For the- programme on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday consult
the advertisement in another col
umn. A rich treat is prepared for
those who attend.
THE STOCK LAW IX CAKKOLL.
Carroll county votes on the stock
law the first Wednesday in July.
Judging from the columns of the
county papers, there is a heated
controversy over the question.
We do not know the local reasons
for or against, so tar as they differ
from what influence us; hut we can
assure our neighbors that Coweta is
delighted with the stock law after a
trial of two years, and a respectable
squad of those who once opposed it
could not be ralli ed for its repeal.
It stands to reason and common
neighborly feeling that if a man
wants to raise stock he should be
prepared to raise them on his own
land and not annoy and forage off
>f others. Let others do as they
may, Coweta wilt retain the stock
law.
FIR XAN6IXG.
The Carrolt County Times is flood
ed with communications on the
Stock law” from persons who arc
not patrons of that paper. This
tact seems to have stirred the edit
or’s bile and he delivers himself as
follows:
“It thus appears that there are
some people who while they do not
contribute anything to the support
of a paper, yet have a use for it
when they wish to ventilate their
views. As we propose to give both
sides a chance, we print as inanv of
their letters as can find room for.
Bat we do think the argument
would "have more weight if they did
not come from persons who not
only believe in letting their cattle
range on other people’s lands, but
are themselves disposed to range on
a paper that other people support.”
A PEARL IMMORTAL.
A host of angels flying through
the cloudless skies beheld a pearl
of beauty upon the earth. They saw
an infant over whom life’s earliest
morn was opening. Bending their
winged way they spread their pin
ions over it and bore it on high to
shine henceforth in the Redeemer’s
crown.
Will Huguley, infani son of Mr.
and Mrs H. C. Fisher, departed this
life on Wednesday the 3rd inst.,
aged ten months and nine days.
He was a lovely and beautiful child
about whom the tendrils of paren
tal love thickly gathered and en
twined. Sympathizing friends offer
ed consolations to the bereaved
and followed the dear remains to
the last earthly resting place,where
the sad rites were observed, Dr Jas.
Stacy being the attending minister.
He who gave us being knows
what is best for each of us and to
Him we leave it all.

A FEARFUL THING.
Thousands of dollars are going
out of the county for stoves, when

THE REVIVAL.
The scries of meetings at the
Baptist church which had been go
ng on for three weeks past, closed
Sunday night with a beautiful and
mpressive welcome to the new
members, who were arranged stand
ing in front of the pulpit and ex
tending in a long line up the broad
aisles on either side. The pastor
read to them the church covenant,
after which the right hand of church
fellowship was extended by the
members while an appropriate
hymn was being sung.
The ordinance of baptism was ad
ministered almost every night
through the past week, closing with
the immersion of sixteen persons
Sunday afternoon. In addition to
those mentioned last week, are the
following: Mrs. J. L. Patman, Mis
ses Cynthia McDowell, Nettie Ans-
ley, Mau de Herring, Laura Daniel,
Delia Wilkinson, Cordie Glanton,
Mattie Robinson, BessieOrr, Jennie
Hardaway, Hattie Winters, Daisy
Dews, Ada Gibson, Mary Gibson,
Henrie Wilkinson, Leila Hornsby,
Messrs. G. M. Sharp, G. R. Bradley,
Boonie Saunders, Paul Robison,
Willie Wright, Wm. L. Stallings,
Joel Ramey, Ralph Ramey, Joe!
Gibson, Carl Cavender, Burch Hun
ter, John R. Cates.
One is yet awaiting baptism and
two were received by letter, mak
ing thirty-nine additions to the
church during the meetings.
There were other professions,
some of whom we presume will
unite with other denominations of
Christians.
Rev. Mr. Stansbery, of Perry, who
assisted during the last nine days,
is a man of great power in the pul
pit and his masterful presentations
of the truth have been rarely sur
passed in this community. His ap
peals are to the reason and judg
ment of his hearers and he never
relates an anecdote. The church
feel fortunate in securing the help
of two such ministers as were with
them during the series of meetings
and their hearts are lifted in thank
fulness to God for the rich outpour
ing of His blessings.
OF INTEREST TO CS.
Messrs. G- Gunby Jordan, N. J.
Bussey and others, directors of the
proposed Georgia Midland railroad
from Atlanta to Columbu.3, are tak
ing active measures to push through
that enterprise. As the success of
the movement will prove inimical
to the interests of the Central as well
a-, the Atlanta & West Point rail
road, we presume that in self de
fense these roads will be forced to
extend the Columbus and Green
ville road to Newnan. Only twen
ty-four miles of track need be built
by this route in order to bring At
lanta and Columbus in close con
nection, while the proposed Mid
land road would he more than one
hundred miles long.
It will be seen below that the Co
lumbus city authorities are also
stirring in the matter:
At a meeting of the Columbus
Counei' on Wednesday a communi
cation was received from the direc
tors of the Georgia Midland Rail
way Company asking that the
Council exchange the city’s stock in
the Mobile and Girard railroad for
stock in the Georgia Midland to an
amount equal to the market value
of the Mobile and Girard stock on
the day of the transfer. This com
munication was backed up by one
from a committee of the Board of
Trade urging the Council to accept
the proposition a nd thereby encour
age the building of the Georgia
Midland, which would prove a val
uable outlet for Columbus. There
seems to be but little doubt in Co
lumbus that the resolution will be
passed, as a majority of the Council
unquestionably favor the project.
It begins to look now as if Colum
bus is yet to get direct connection
with Atlanta by rail.
THE TEMPERANCE MEETING.
In accordance with the call of the
President of the State Temperance
Association, a number of the citi
zens of Coweta assembled in the
Court House at Newnan, on June 2.
Maj. U. B. Wilkinson was made
chairman and W. A. Turner secre
tary of the meeting. The object be
ing to select delegates to the State

cutt. W. W Hardy, Dr. F. M. Brant-
ly, H. W. Camp, J. N. Sewell, A. B.
Brown, and T. G. Farmer. On
motion of W. A. Turner, Maj. U. B.
Wilkinson was added to the delega
tion.
Mr. S. W. Murray offered the fol
lowing resolution: That this con
vention request our representatives
in Congress to personally urge upon
the Hon. Commissioner of Internal
Revenue that he instruct his collec
tors to refuse internal revenue li
cense to wholesale or retail liquors
in localities where the state, county
or municipal authorities prohibit
such sale.
Judge Buchanan moved to lay
the resolution on the table; lost
The motion to adopt the resolu
tion was moved and the same fail
ed to pass.
On motion of Judge Leigh the
county papers were requested to
publish the proceedings of the
meeting.

I learn that a young man by the
name of Attaway, some eighteen
years old, and son of Mr. Whitten
Attaway, who lives just over the
line of Coweta and Campbell coun
ties, killed a young negro man one
day last week. From what I can
learn of the case they were working
the field and young Mr. A.
said something to the negro about
his plowing, whereupon the negro
told him that if he fooled with him
he would cut him in two, or cut his
head off, and made at Attaway with
knife in hand, and report says that
the young negro’s father had hold
of young Attaway and that the son
cut Attaway three severe gashes,
one just below the shoulder blade;
whereupon young Attaway stuck
his knife in the negro’s temple from
which he died in two or three min
utes. I give the statement as I was
told. Attaway may die. He is 17
years old and weighs about 100
pounds; the negro was 22 and
weighed about 200 pounds. The
coroner’s jury pronounced it justi
fiable homocide.
Mr. John Bryant, near County
Line just across the river, died on
last Friday at his residence. He
was a kind hearted citizen, and
leaves a large family connection to
mourn his loss. Peace to his ashes
and joy to his soul.

Editor Herald:—I find that
many of our best citizens think the
law providing for processioning
land lines is a new thing; therefore
I beg leave to submit the following
which I get from Cobb’s Analysis of
the Statutes of Georgia as revised
and published in the year 1846. On
page 745 I find these words: “Once
in every ten years the bounds of ev
ery person’s land shall be proces
sioned or gone round and the
land marks renewed in manner fol
lowing, that is to say, * * *
whenever two persons’ lines join
they are directed and required to
meet and chop or plainly mark the
same, with one or two persons dis
interested to see that they do not
disagree respecting the land marks,
and make new line-trees; but when
ever a dispute shall arise about such
line, the processioners shall come
for warn with the county surveyor
to assist in ascertaining the true
line between the parties,” Ac. On
the same page it says: “All lands
throughout this State shall be pro
cessioned or gone round in manner
and form as pointed out by this act,
in twelve months from and after
the first day of June next, underthe
penalty of one hundred dollars for
the omission or refusal of every per
son or persons so refusing, one half
to go to the informer, and the other
to county uses.”
Again it says: “The time allow
ed for processioning land by the
foregoing act, shall be and the same
is hereby extended to the first day
of July in the year of our Lord 1850;
and any person failing to proces
sion, and new mark the tree-lines of
their land, in manner therein point
ed out, shall be mhjeet to the fines
and penalties therein mentioned.”
It can be seen fiom the foregoing
that this law exhii-!i d prior to the
year 1850, although neglected for
many years past.

Editor Herald:—Lands were
not greatly washed by the late
rains, yet low lands were greatly
saturated and the stand of corn
badly damaged. Some of the farm
ers are complaining of poor stands
of cotton, and especially on sandy
lands where the plants died from
the cool nights and the continued
rains.
As a general thing crops are late
in this section, although CoL In
gram boasts of corn tasels in a field
of corn of bis which the writer
knows to be fine.
Mr. Lee Jacobs has ripe apples
