NEWNAN, GEORGIA.
TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1885.
The city of Baltimore has just
placed $67,000 of 4 per cent bonds
due July, 1925, at 111.11. At this
rate the interest will be about 3.25
per cent.
The Mobile and Ohio railroad
company has changed the guage of
its road from five feet to the stan
dard four feet eight and a half
inches. The work of moving the
rails was successfully accomplished
in about twelve hours.
One of the most impressive ele
ments of our national administra
tion is its honest, positive and di
rect policy. This was most em
phatically proved in the recent
New York appointments. They
were made with an eye to business
interests.
Maine is not such a bad 8tate, af
ter alt From Maine came the ex
ample of controlling the sale of
liquor by prohibitary statutes. It
is said, however, that the Idea was
horn in revenge, and the law grew
out of the Maine legislators’ dis
gust for having wooden nutmegs
grated into their milk punches.
John R. Lynch, the colored dele
gate who was temporary chairman
of the Republican convention
which nominated Blaine, is very
much pleased with the Democratic
administration and writes a letter
in which he says that the “appre
hension on the part of the colored
people i i consequence of Democrat
ic ascei d ncy has been entirely al
layed.”
A liny boat, roughly but staunch
ly made, the handiwork of an In
dian lad 14 years of age, a pupil at
the Carlisle school, is exhib
iteil on one of the secretaries’ desks
in Washington. Mr. Evans graph
ically endorses the craft, “an out
ward and visible sign of the inward
spiritual grace of civilization in the
red man out of reach of the cow
boy.”
The prince of Lichtenstein order
ed a huge gun from Krupp, and,
when it had been delivered and all
was in readiness for a trial, discov
ered that it couldn’t be fired off
without sending the ball into the
territory of one of the friendly
states whose territory surrounds
his own domains. Ho he had the
cannon recast into an equestrian
statue of himself.
Science will publish on July 111 a
sanitary number giving special at
tention to water and the soil in
their relation to the contagious dis
eases. One of the longer articles
gives the history of the water-sup
ply and the sewer-system of Chicago
in relation to the health of the city.
Its reviews of valuable books will
contain new light upon the longev
ity of the different classes of society,
the comparative exposure of the
poor and rich to infectious diseases,
and the relation of consumption to
the age.
There is a very prevailing belief
that the President has asked IToad-
ly to make the Gubernatorial race
in Ohio. The recent interview with
Hoadly put out by the Sun has
pleased the President not a little,
and he is willing and anxious to
test the popularity and strength of
his administration in Ohio by hav
ing Hoadly at the head of the Dem
ocratic ticket. It can he said that
Hoadly has been more than im
pressed l>y this desire on the part
of tie President, and it c n he open
ly declared at this time that if he
is n< ininated, be will again measure
swords with Foruker. For person
al reasons he would ■ prefer to let
politics alone, but the President
has urged him with so much delica
cy and yet force that ho feels con
strained to oblige him.
The Star says the President is
preparing to depart from Washing
ton for a summer vacation. His
plans have been arranged and it is
expected that he will he able to get
away within a day or two. He will
go to New York state and betake
himself to the woods for a few
weeks to get away from the worry
and bother of office-seekers and
politicians. His plans hav^ heen
made very quietly, and he will
probably leave as soon as the ap
pointed time without making any
previous announcement The
President wants a period of perfect
rest and does not propose to be fol
lowed in his retreat. Office-seekers
will wake up some morning very
soon : nd find the white house de
serted.
Gen. Fitr. Lee is decidedly the most
popular candidate f> r Governor
of Virginia. He is not only a man
of experience and ability, but is em
phatically a popular man, whom
the hoys love to applaud, and who
is endeared to the people by a
frank and noble manhood above
ail predjudices, and of a sympathet
ic character that adapts itself to all
occasions, either of responsibility,
festivity or hardship, with an equal
temper for all. At the close, of the
war, though his name and reputa
tion would have secured a lucrative
and ornamental position,he hit -hod
his cavalry horse to the plow, and
not only during that summer.but for
many seasons afterward, he proved
that he was able to start at the be
ginning and end with nature’s eifts
of industry and perseverance.He has
twice received a large vote for the
gubernatorial nomination, but wit h-
out any of the usual political can
vassing on his nart.
Secretary Whitney is not only
looking after the Roaches and Dol
phins, but is thoroughly overhaul
ing his department in other ways.
He is trying to institute a system
of book-keeping by which the ex
penditure of funds can be traced.
He is also endeavoring to break up
the fradulent contractor system, by
which outside bids were forced out
and contracts controlled by a ring.
He has his hands full.
The Detroit Free Press has been
delving into the matter and finds
'.hat fifty year ago it cost 6 cents to
send a single-sheet letter any dis-
anee less than 30 miles. Between 30
ind 80 miles the late was 10 cents:
between 80 and 150, 12\ 2 cents; be-
twen 150 and 400, 18cents, and
over 400, 25 cents. For two sheets
double price was charged. In 1845
the unit of weights fixed at half an
tunee, and the rate for any distance
under 300 miles was fixe 1 at 5 cents.
Above that distance the rate was
10 cents. Six - years later the rate
was reduced to 3 cents, for which
letters could be sent anywhere un-
ler 3,000 miles. In 1863 3 cents was
made the uniform rate throughout
the Union, and in 1883 the rate was
reduced to 2 cents. Every one of
these reduction has bee ft productivt
of an increase in revenue, and it is
lot likely that the reduction just
-fleeted will prove any exception to
the rule.
The change of letter postage, does
not appear to be fully understood.
The minimum cost for a letter is
the same as before, two cents, and
this is the postage, too, for “drop”
letters, as it has been in the past
I’lic only change is that a heavier
letter may be sent for two cents:
hat is, you can now send a letter
weighing a full ounce, whereas,
under the old rate, only a half ounce
letter could be sent for two cents.
Those accustomed to letter writ
ing have been enabled heretofore
■n guess quite accurately whether
i letter weighed less than half an
iunce. It will be safe for the future
to decide in the same way. If a
'etter weighs half an ounce or less,
out a two cents stamp on, as usual,
ind you are all right. If it appear
to weigh more, then you need to
weigh it, of course. Any ingenious
person, Jiowever, may improvise a
scale in a moment, in ways that will
readily suggest themselves.
All that is needed is a cheap con
trivance with an ounce weight on
one side and something on the other
to hold the letter. With a majority
of people, this will be all that is
needed, as they only care to know
that the letter is less than an ounce,
and therefore needs only a single
stamp. And for weights, it is only
necessary to use coins from your
money drawer or pockets. A silver
dollar weighs very nearly an ounce.
Hence any letter not heavier than
the dollar can go for a single, two
cent stamp. This is easily remem
bered, If you want to be more ex
act, take a silver dollar and a silver
five cent piece, and you have an
ounce almost to a feather’s weight.
Provided you haven’t the silver dol
lar handy, two halves, or if you
have nickles only, five of them and
a small copper cent will give you
very nearly the ounce. As ninety-
nine letters out of a hundred will
tall within the ounce weight, this
simple system of weighing will
serve for general use.
Nancy Was His Choice.
Daniel S. Dickinson, when in the
Senate was requested by the Post
master-General to call at the depart
ment, and give opinion on the rel
ative claims of applicants for ap
pointment a3 postmaster of an of
fice near his home residence. The
request was promptly complied
with, and the documents were duly
inspected,not without some perplex
ity in the mind of the Senator; for
two of his personal and political
friends, both highly respectable
and competent men, were, as ap
peared from the papers, about “neck
and neck” in the race for office,so far
as influential signatures on either
side could make them so. But sud
denly a light dawned upon the Sen
ator. A neatly written note in a
lady’s handwriting came to view,
applying for the office in her own
behalf, and giving but a single
name as reference, aud that the
name of the honorable Senator
himself. He had known her de
ceased husband intimately and
most favorably for many years, and
wa« no stranger to the young wid
ow herself. After a moment’s re
flection, he carefully returned the
delicate missive to its place, and
made the following laconic indorse
ment upon the papers: “I go for
Nancy.” Nancy was of course ap
pointed, and served the public in
the capacity of postmistress.
Demorest’s Illustrated Monthly-
Magazine for August cannot fail to
give pleasure to its numerous read
ers. It opens with an excellent
story by Eleanor Kirt, and, in addi
tion, there are other admirable sto
ries. The article on Heraldry,
which is profusely illustrated, is
both instructive and entertaining,
and among other good articles are
“Memories ot Napoleon” and “The
Grave ofRob Roy.” The valuable
papers, “From Pencil to Brush,” are
continued, and “Woman’s Indebted
ness to the Animal Creation” will
be read with interest. The various
departments are, as usual, well fill
ed, and the oil picture, “Music,” by
Lenoir is a charming production.

Editor Herald:—It becomes
my duty to reeoid the death of an
other o!d landmark, ’Squire Henry
McBride, who departed this life on
Tuesday, the 7th inst., at the county
farm. Mr. McBride was for many
years Justice of the Peace
for Cedar Creek District, which of
fice he filled welL He was a con
sistent member of the Primitive
Baptist church at Cedar Creek and
(or years was clerk of the church.
He once was in easy circumstances,
but misfortune and old age camt
along and he had to be received in
to a pauper’s, home, where he
breathed his last. Hi9 remains
were interred at Cedar Creek ceme-
'ery, where they will rest until the
resurrection morn, when mortality
will put on immortality and he will
■io loDger be a pauper, but will be
clothed in a suit ot righteousness
with palms of victory and songs of
joy.
There will be a four days meeting
it Jones’ Chapel, embracing second
Sunday in August. I don’t know
about the meetings at other church
es.
Col. Jake Petty carried a wagon
load of pretty young ladies up into
Campbell county the other day.
Quite a nice crowd of gentlemen
from Newnan were out at Sewell’s

I call the crops good, and if the

I don’t think I ever saw a bigger

There was a law-suit in the Sixth
District started in 1866, in which
there is involved, principal and in-
teiest, about $1,000, in which six
leading lawyers are engaged, pro
and con.
That ease which brought Dr. Hod-
nett, of Senoia, to the front in last
Herald requires that R. A. T. step
to the front also. If, as the Doctor
states in his note, “The child was
not salivated, nor were there any
symptoms of salivation,” then must
the parents have conjectured wrong
of the case, for my note was the
substance of simple statements
made to me. I know that parents
had grounds for apprehensions of a
serious character, and they so ex-
presFed themselves.
I make no effort to write “un
kind” matters, neither could I vent
ure to write an untruth lyiowingiy
‘More than unkind,’ towards whom,
I ask? Not the parents nor the
child, I am sure. Dr. Hodnett does
not say in his note that he has
charge of the case, neither did R.
A. T. write it; hence nothing un
kind towards him. The charge is
groundless and harmless, and I hope
it may affect the Doctor as little as
it does the one against whom it is
alleged.
There was a nice picnic at White
Oak on the fourth and young Mr.

The exercises of Excelsior, High
School came off last week as an- ‘
nonneed.
The commencement sermon was
preached by Rev. R. H. Harris, of
LaGrange, from the text, “Come
learn of me,” He took the position
that man was a trinity—a physical,
intellectual and moral being; that
these faculties were susceptible of
wonderful development, that these
were two great teachers in the
•vorld: the mission of one was to
teach, instruct and prepare men for
the enjoyment not only of the life
that now is, but of that which is to
come; while the mission of the oth
er was to counteract all that is good,
and to teach and prepare men for
the consequences of an evil and
misspent life. The preacher’s dis
course was very impressive, and
some of his thoughts were well il
lustrated. It was a practical gos
pel sermon.
Monday,Tuesday and Wednesday
were devoted to the examination of
classes in the primary and higher
departments of study; also that of
the music department. The most
of Wednesday a. m was devoted to
the reading of essays by the young
ladies and declamations by the
young gentlemen. The whole pro
ceedings were interspersed with
songs and music by Mrs. VanHoose
and her music class.
Entertainments were given each
night to large and highly apprecia
tive audiences.
At 11 o’clock n. m. Wednesday,
Mr. Hewlett A. Hall appeared be
fore the large congregation and de
livered one of the finest literary ad
dresses that it has ever been our
pleasure to hear. His theme was
“Effort” and it has added another
crown of laurels to those already
won. I must be permitted to give
it as my judgment that the board of
trustees have been exceedingly for
tunale in securing the services of
Prof. Pollock. His labors dispensed
during the term just closed, has
made an impress as to his personal
worth and preceptive capacity, upon
the minds and hearts of pupils, pat
rons and people unexcelled by any
of his predecessors. The rapid ad
vance of all their studies attest his
fitness for the position.
Of Mrs. E. R. Griggs I can only
say, her retention over the primary
department for ten years or more,
her large classes, their rapid ad
vancement in studies, their love for
and devotion to her, her aptness to
teaeh, her power of control, com
bined with unremitting devotion to
duty, fully sustain her qualification
for the position she holds.
Mrs. M. F. VanHoose has a large
music class whose musical perform
ances are sufficient evidence of her
thoroughness in the vocal and in
strumental department. To be de
prived of her services in this and
other ways that could be mentioned
would be considered a public ca
lamity to this.communit-y.
Taken as a whole, competent
judges pronounce the school a grand
success.
Prof. P. H. Pollock and his broth
er are on a visit to their parents
near Rome, Ga., being accompanied

Mrs. T. N. Vining is on a visit to
relatives at Macon.
Col. J. M. Griggs, of Allapaha
Ga., is visiting his mother here.
Mrs. R. K. Brandenburg,who was
carried to the asylum some months
ago, died suddenly last Saturday.
Her remains were brought home
and interred at Haralson on Mon
day. It is a mournful satisfaction
to know that under all the sadden
ing circumstances, her remains
were brought home and buried
among those she loved, whose sym
pathy have been deeply affected to
wards her, and the bereaved hus
band and children.
T. W. Methvin has been reap

I was pained to learn of the sad
visitation of death so recently in the
household of Mr. A. H, Hamrick, a
former resident of this community.
Their many friends in this commun

Last Sunday in company with a
very charming and entertaining
companion, your correspondent
made a delightful trip through a
portion of Heard and Coweta to
Elim church, situated in the Fourth
District. On our route we passed
the beautiful residence ot your es
teemed correspondent, “Vanpelt,”
and we could not help but notice
the thrift and energy betokened in
everything around the premises.
After reaching the church we had
the pleasure of listening to an ex
cellent sermon preached by Rev. R.
H. Jackson. After services we ac
cepted an invitation to dine with
Mr. James Millians. Thence we
went where we found spread a
bountiful repast, enough to satisfy
even Ripples, Coweta’s noted epicu-

I witnessed on the 9th inst,
match game of base ball between
Hogansville and Greenvilie, which
was very interesting. The umpire
was Mr. Steve Powell, of your city.
Hogansville was aided by LaGrar.ge
club and Griffin, while Greeville
was assisted by Sulphur Springs
club. The game was close, but Ho
gansville came off victorious. Some
of our boys are anxious to have a
club at this place, but I for one am
opposed to it, especially as the
weather is so warm, and when ’tis
cool we have other business which
demands our whole time.
Mrs. Emma Ware, who has been

DR. HOLT’S
DYSPEPTIC ELIXIK!
Read what an eminent physician has
to say of Dr. Holt’s Dyspeptic Elixir.
Hatcher’s Station, Ga., October IS, 1883.
—Dr. P. R. Holt, Eutaula, Ala., Dear Sir:
I have been troubled with indigestion
and nervous headache for the last fifteen
years. During that time I have suffered
a great deal with periodical attacks of
headache. Having exhausted my own
skill and tried the prescriptions of a
great many physicians, I was induced to
try your Dyspeptic Elixir. You sent me
a bottle about the middle of March last,
and I am happy to inform you that I
have not suffered from these periodical
attacks since. My indigestion is almost

everything without material injury. I
have been a practicing physician for
thirty years, and have ever Seen oppos
ed to proprietary medicine. You kindly
furnished me with the formula for the
Elixir, and on examination can testify
to the medical properties and therapeu
tical application, and I recommend all
suffering from indigestion and nervous
headache, or any diseases arising from
a torpid liver, to" procure a bottle of your
Dyspeptic Elixir, for it is almost a spe
cific in this class of diseases. I recom
mend it to my patrons and prescribe it
in my practice. L. P. DOZIER, M. D.

we never expect to be without it in our

Comptroller General’s office, Atlanta,
Ga., July 9th, 1883.—Dr. P. R. Holt, Eu
faula, Ala., Dear Sir: I am pleased to re
port that I have been entirely cured of
indigestion, bv the use of your “Dyspep
tic Elixir.” r was induced by a friend
to try it after having tried almost every
remedy known for my disease, without
the slightest effect. I took only three
small bottles of your medicine before I
was entirely well. I suffered several
years, and although it has been three
vears since I used your preparation, I
have had no return of it.
