the standard of intelligence.

A PROLIFIC PLUS.
The second annual meeting of the
Newnan Library Association was
held on Thursday evening last at
the Library rooms. At 8 o’clock
President Rayealled the meeting to
order. The minutes ol the last an
nual meeting read. The President
then delivered the annual address,
reviewing his administration. He
said that soon after his Board of
Directors assumed office, the Pres
ident Mr. W. B. Berry resigned,
leaving the duties of the office upoi
him, the Vice-President. The re
tiring Board, while not claiming to
have done anything brilliant, yet
had the good of the association at
heart. The cry of hard times in thi
land seemed to chill every effort
contemplated for the success of th
association, besides, our people hav
ing engaged in the erection ot
houses of worship could not devote
that time and money to the associa
tion which the incoming board may
expect to receive. The member
ship of the association was increas
ed during the last year from 95 to
10G. No books lost or destroyed,
while over 50 volumes of the stand
ard authors had been added, inak-
ine a total in the Library of over
579 volume*. The finances of the a*-
sociatio.it aiein a healthy condition
The retiring Board leaves *o just
debts unpaid, having a balance in
hands of the treasurer. With the
returning signs of prosperity and
the active support expected from
the ladies, the new board could con
fidently expect a successful admin
istration. In order that none might
lie kept out of the Library on ac
count of the fees, a reduction of the
same is recommended, making
uniform for all members, and that
the dues be reduced and made uni
form also, and depend on donations,
public lectures, Ac., to irferease the
number of books. The president
then spoke of the benefits to be de
rived from a public library and
commended it to the careful consid
eration of all our citizens. After
the address,-the secretary read his
report, which showed the following
amounts received since July 1

The Fourth was quietly observed
in Newnan. A large Union flag
floated lazily over the public .*quare
while here and there were tiny rep
resentatives of the nation’s glory,
['here was no firing of guns or even
crackers to disturb the restful
quiet, neither was the oppor
tunity seized by anyone for read
ing the declaration of indepen
dence.
Col. Cecil Gahbett, General Man
ager of the Atlanta A West Point
railroad, spent a day in Newnan
last week. In conversation with
some of our citizens he expressed
himself as delighted with our city.
He said that the greatest need of
Newnan was a large hotel for the
aeeomodation of summer visitors
hundreds of whom would come
nerefrom Montgomery and other
Southern cities.
Our esteemed Senoia correspond
ent, Mr. T. N. Vining, sent us yes
terday a specimen limb from one of

about- four feet long and reached us
with one hundred and eighteen
plums on it. The name of this va
riety is Decaradeuc and Mr. Vinin
will be able to furnish trees next
fall at the nursery prices.
ROTIIKR AND HARK.
Despite the anxious vigils and
eeaseless ministrations of loved
ones, Mrs. Mattie Ashcraft Allen,
wife of Mr. A. S. Allen, departed
this life Thursday night, in the 24th
year of her age. She had been mar
ried about fourteen months, leaving
a four-months babe, which surviv
ed its mother less than an hour.
Both were placed in the same cas
ket, the beautiful babe sweetly
sleeping in its mother’s arms.
Mrs. Allen was a daughter of Mr.
A.'B. Ashcraft, a consistent and
pious member of the Presbyterian
church, and was much loved by
those who knew her. The funeral
services were conducted by her
pastor, Rev. Dr. Stacy, in the pres
ence of a large audience who had
gathered at the residence.
The bereaved family have our
tender condolence.
A BROKEN LIMB.
Mrs. L. D. Herring has the agen
cy for “The Light of the Nations,”
a book written by Dr. Chas. F.
Deems,of New York. It is a iarge-12
mo volume of 751 pages and nicely
hound in several different styles.
The book does not purport to be
the life of Christ; bat its object
is to set forth- the work and
teachings of the Master with such
force as to make irresistable the
conclusion that He is very God. It is
a valuable book and we commend
it to the public.

Dr. McCall spoke very impres
sively at the Baptist prayer meet
ing Wednesday night
The two eldest children of Mes
srs. H. M. and A. H. Arnold were
visiting last week at their grand
father’s, Capt. J. D. Simms, in the
Third District, eight miles from
Newnan, and were having a de
iighttui romp each day “from rosy
morn ’til dewy eve.” Among oth
er amusements, swinging out of
grandma’s window was often prac
ticed. Saturday night the tired lit
tle ones were all gathered in bed
up-stairs and their dreams were but
the transcript of their waking
thoughts. The exciting sport of
swingingfrom windows shapedtheir
dreams and Fannie Lou rose from
the bed and swung down from the
second story window, a distance of
seventeen feet from the ground. It
was about 9:30 p. m. Hearing the
fall and the scream, Mr. Shack
Simms, the child’s uncle, hastened
to the spot and tenderly lifted her
from the ground. Then he hurried
ly mounted his horse and rode in
hot haste for Dr. Davis at Newnan.
We learn from the doctor that
both bones of the right leg were
broken just above the ankle; but he
thinks the healing process will be
rapid and there will be little trouble
with the patient.
That the little girl swung down
from the window is evidenced by
the print made by her hards on the
wall, the mark on the old paint be
ing somewhat serpentine in its
track.

NEWNAN, GA.
How uncertain is life! As a vapor
it passes away. Only a few brief
lays since the glow of health was
on her cheek and the fire of life in
he*- soft browti eyes. Her sweet
prattle was like tinkling belis in its
melody. Now she is no longer ot
earth. Those cheeks glow with the
radiance of the better land, those
eyes feast on the unspeakable glo
ries of heaven and that tongue sings
the sweetest of Beulah songs.

Sec. pro tern’
An ugly storm cloud passed to the
south of us yesterday, and as we
looked upon it little did we think
of the harvest of death.
Late in the day Prof. J. E. Pen-
iergrast reached Newnan from
Luthersville and told of the sudden
death of Messrs. John Rowe and
Rufus Maleom, who were returning
home from Bingham’s. He passed
them between Holly Springs church
and Luthersvilie. They were on
mules. One of them was picking
his teeth and the other had his hand
resting on his breast. He had not
passed fifty yards when a streak of
lightning came. Looking back, he
saw the mules, and men all pros
trate in the road. Going to them,
he found them all dead, the clothes
of one being afire. One of the men
had fallen across his mule an 1 the
other had fallen on the ground.
So quick was the stroke that their
hands were fixed in the same posi
tion as when he passed them.
Securing help for them, he came on
to town. Prof. Pendergrast did not
know the young men, hut we since
learned their names and that they
lived near Rocky Mount.
It is a sad visitation and we
ympathize with the afflicted fam
ilies of the deceased.
