The Atlanta Capitol says:
Our prosperous little sister, New-

the question of local taxation for
the support of a system of public
schools. W e are glad to note the
disposition on the part of the small
er towns to imitate the larger in
this regard. Nothing tends more
to build up a community, as is the
nisiory of every town and city in
the State where a thorough and
•a sti in a tic method of public schools
it adopted.
It would be of vast benefit to
Georgia if every little town of a

were to adopt a system suited to its
peculiar need.

We regret the departure ol the

given perfect satisfaction. The
large crayon of Mrs. H. T. Cole is
said to be a remarkable likeness,
most perfectly executed. Our best
citizens have been liberal patrons of
Messrs. Reed & Wallace and should
tney return to this section we be-

We call attention to the card of
Mrs. Keller elsewhere in this paper.
She has of many years had a local
reputation tor the successful treat
ment for cancer and has been
known to effect some remarkable
cures. She Is a worthy and deserv
ing woman who is at the same time
in reduced circumstances. Any one
afflicted with this dreadful malady
would do well to consult Mrs. Kel
ler at the earliest moment. In such
a case time is an important consid
eration.

The city authorities are setting
out a large number of shad 5 trees
throughout the city. The number
will probably be between four and
five hundred. They are of the va
riety known as the aspen, or silver
maple, which is a rapid grower and
makes a good shade, at the same
time presenting an attractive ap
pearance. Through the liberality
of Coi. John B. Willcoxon these
trees were kindly donated to the
city.
There is nothing approximating
its cos* which could be of so much
value to our city and which wonld
make it so attractive. We hope the
good work will go on from year to
year until the streets are all crown
ed with leafy bowers from one end
to the other.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
As the question must”in a few
days be decided by onr citizens
whether or not they will adopt (he
system of |>abiic schools, it is a mat
ter of interest to know the opinion
and experience of those who have
tried them. To this end Marsha]
Jno E. Robinson addressed a letter
ot inquiry to the Clerks of a num
ber of cities and towns, asking in
formation as to the rate of taxation
as to both street and property tax
and cost of keeping up the public
schools. The foliowiug answers
have been received: Mr. Thos Nail
writes from Griffin that the tax as
segment for current expenses Is
22>4 on the $100, and the same for
public schools. He remarks that
“with a few ‘sore heads’ (exceptions
tobe found in every community)
our people are highly pleased with
the public school system and could
not be induced to go back to the old
way. I would advise everybody
to vote for public schools.”
The; reply from West Point is:
“Our taxable property is $600,000.
We have a flourishing public school
and it takes % ot 1 per cent, to run
it We have a street tax, $2 per an
num, which does not go to public
schools. Our school building cost
$10,000. We have a superintendent
and six other teachers, and we find
thatthe \ of 1 per cent- is sufficient
to keep it running nicely.”
Comparing with Newnan,we have
taxable property to the value
of $1,250,000, as against the $600,000
of West Point. The schools of
West Point are supported wholly
from taxation, while ours would
be sustained by the matriculation
fees and the taxation need be only
to meet interest ou bonds for build
ing. If it were decided that *10,000
would secure’the necessary build
ing, then one-twentieth of one per
cent., or 5cts on the hundred dol
lars, would meet the interest ou six
per cent, bonds. But it it were
thought best to issue bonds to the
amount of $20,000 at six per cent,
interest, a tax of ten cents on the
hundred dollars would be sufficient.
And who would consider this bur
densome ?
A meeting of the citizens has
been called to assemble in the
Court House Thursday night to con
fer upon this question. State Com
missioner Orr has been invited to
address the people on that occasion
and will doubtless be here. Other
speakers will also be heard at that
time. We hopej there will be
a large attendance.
A W1CKKD SLUNK.
Last week the little son of Mr.
Orlando McClendon came near los
ing his life. The affair is involved
in a little mystery; but all that the
family know positively about it, is
as follows:
Wednesday morning the child
was sleeping quietly in his cradle in
his mother’s bedroom, and Mrs. Mc-
Clendjn, seeing that he was likely
to sleep some time, went into the
sitting room across the hall, meet
ing the little nurse who was going
in to where the baby was. Mrs.
McClendon was in the sitting room
a very short time, when she heard
the baby scream. Hurrying to him,
as she entered the room she detect
ed the smell of menthol. The
nurse, who had been alone in the
room with the baby, was hurrying
from towards the medicine closet
in the room to the cradle, and
reached the baby slightij in ad
vance of his mother. The little fel
low was strangling with menthol
liniment, which was in his mouth
and nose and on his face and neck,
and some of which had run off on
the pillow. Dr. C. D. Smith fortu
nately lives just across the street
and happened to be at home. He
was at once called in, and succeed
ed, by prompt action, in saving the
child’s life, though at first he could
give no assurance of success. The
nurse denies having put the lini
ment on Ihe child. The liniment
vial was in the medicine closet and
had not previously been used about
the baby, who was perfectly well
and needed no medicine of any
kind. The nurse has always ap
peared devoted to the little boy, and
the parents are a little puzzled over
the affair. The young gentleman
is now entirely recovered, and can
say “Papa’s baby” as glibly as ever.

Messrs. E-G. Kramer,O.L.Reese,
B. F. Burns and N. Fain, the com
mittee appointed to visit Newnan
in behalf of the Rime A Carrollton
railroad, have returned and express
themselves as highly gratified with
their visit. The reception they met
at the hands of the business men of
our sister city was absolutely prince
ly, if we may judge anything from
the utterances of the committee,
who seem never to tire speaking
of the open-handed hospitality ana
lavish courtesies extended to them
by the prominent citizens and busi
ness men of Newnan.
Th“ committee succeeded in rais
ing a gilt-edged subscription of $2,-
000, which, they are confident, will
be increased to five or six thousand
in a few days.
Heretofore but little thought had
been given this enterprise as a feed
er to Newnan, so, when presented
in its proper light by our distinguish
ed citizens, the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed, and we are sanguine it
will result most beneficently, both
fur Carrollton and Newnan. In
deed, we now feel perfectly well as
sored that Carrollton will get the
road.
The able and satisfactory manner
in which this committee discharged
the Important mission entrusted
them, is a source of extreme gratifi
cation to our citizens generally, and
finds expression in the most unstint
ed measure of praise.—Carroll Free
Press.
HBAXITK MILE POSTS.
Rev Dr. Jas. Stacy has been serv
ing White Oak Presbyterian church
as its beloved pastor for many
years. The church is located nine
miles from Newnan. For his own
gratification in passing over the
road, the doctor has ordered nine
granite posts to be made by the
Newnan Marble A Granite Works
at a cost of two dollars each. They
are now ready and numbered con
secutively in large figures carved
in the granite from 1 to 9. Dr.
Stacy will accurately measure
each mile with his buggy wheel and
personally superintend the erection
of the posts, wh ! ch will stand for
ages as an enduring monument to
faithful, God-fearing pastor and a
a public spirited citizen.
CANCER TREATMENT.
It is well known that I cured my
self of cancer about thirty six years
ago. I have ireated many other
cases since then and have never
failed to care, if the case was not
of too long standing. By request of
many friends, I publish a card, that
it may be generally known that I
am still prepared to treat cancers.
Any one desiring information may
call on or address meat Newnan.

Houston County.
Editor Herald:—Being called
from home about the first of this
month to Houston county, I write
a few items which may be of inter
est to your readers.
While there we had a snow which
fell five inches deep. Snow is rare
in tint section and falls very light
when it does come.
The spindles of Houston Factory
have been still for some time, but
will soon resume work. This is a
paying investment, owned by South
ern gentlemen.
The farmers complain of the scarci-
tyof money,their crops leaving them
no surplus. Where go the millions
of dollars which are made annually
by Southern planters ?
I find that grape culture is be
ginning to be extensively engaged
in by the people of that section. A
widow lady made 600 gallons of
wine last year from two acres of
land. It sells readily at $1.50 to $2J)0
per gallon.
Corn is selling there at 50c per
bnshel and the genuine cane syr
up brings 30c to 40c per gallon.
