Mr. M. F. Cole came back from
Florida last week, whither he had
gone with his mother-in-law, Mrs.

there.
Mr. M. B. Pinson returned home

The audience which gathered at

Almost every variety of style and

Mrs. Jeff. Smith, of Atlanta,
came down Thursday on a visit to
her parents, Mr. and Airs. J. C.
Thompson. We are glad to learn
that her health is improving.
Our intimation of an early wed

Brown was made secretary. Hon
W. Y. Atkinson was the first speak
er . As the election has passed and
the discussion has waxed cold, we
will not attempt to oat line the
sjieeches of the evening. Suffice It
to say that Mr. Atkinson’s remarks
were forcible and timely, present'
ing strong reasons why the public
school system should be adopted
He closed with an eloquent and
touching apostrophe to the grand
old Empire State.
Prof. C. L. Moses being called
on responded in behalf of the op
position. He made a strong argu
ment on the negative, showing that
there are decidely two ways of look
ing at this important qnestion.
He realized that the tide was
against him, but could not consent
to stifle honest convictions to curry
popular favor.
Air. Ashley, a Southern citizen of
Northern descent,wae called out and
made a few remarks. He had seen
the workings of public schools at the
North and earnestly testified to
their great benefits, denying that
they were in any way responsible for
the mad pranks of foreign socialists
and anarchists.
We were not present at the Fri
day night’s meeting, but learned
that the boys had a rousing good
time. Addresses were delivered by
Hon. L. R. Ray in favor of public
schools and Hon. W. A. Turner
against them. Hon. W. Y. Atkin
son replied to Air. Turner, thrusting
between the joints of his armor.
Altogether the discussions were
free and friendly, developing much
valuable information regarding the
question at issue.

We regret that circumstances
have prevented Prof. C. L. Aloses
from remaining in the school room
this year. In the first place, the
slate ol his health is such as to ren-
•er it important for him to have
ro-u Iron: ihe exacting physical aud

Ami in the second place, the large

In view of the decided expression
of public opinion, there should be
no strife over the result. The bit

Editor Herald:—There is no
telling the amount of interest in
fused into a town when there is
prospect of a new railroad. Take
for instance the town of Senoia,
which is now upon a boom, at the
prospect ol an early completion of
the Atlanta and liawkinsviileroad.
The hope of this road has brought
contentment to the minds of the cit
izens oi the place. You hear noth
ing now of wanting to sell and
move elsewhere in order to get to a
live town. Houses that have stood
vacant for years are being occupied
and filled with good-*. New mer
chants are coming in and those that
have long done business there are
cheerful and full of hope. The
schools of the place have opened
well. Prof Pollock and Prof. Peter
Brown are the respective teachers,
and no place can boast of more effi
cient instructors. The latter gen
tleman is an acquaintance of many
years standing with the writer, and
Senoia may well feel honored in
having such a valuable accession.
In conversation with Col. Y\*. YV.
Hardy, I found that if he left us he
would doit with profound regret.
From the extension ol Col. Aleth-
vin’s face, I imagine that some
limb of the law had driven him to

a statement is made, “that a widow
of Coweta made so much wine from
so many acres oi land and it sold
from one and a half to two dollars
pec gallon.” The above was
stated by the Herald concerning a
widow lady of Houston county and
not one of this county.
Dedication services were held at

munity will d« its part, it will be
a success.
We went on the 23rd and 24th to
Line Creek church, and heard Rev.
L.P. Hudson (Parker’s son.). He
is certainly superior as a young
and uneducated preacher. - He
seemed to preach with the Spirit’s
power, which had a telling effect
upon his hearers.
T. C. Hardy is running his mill.
He says he grinds only for the toll.
Joe Wynne can’t make enough
cotton on his fields, but has to cut
down the woods and plant more.
YVhere am I ? I stay in Fayette

The mechanics have been getting
the machinery in position the past
few days fop- the fertilizer factory
of Messrs. Kramer and Mandeville.
They expect te get to work to-mor
row. The ingredients that will go
into the composition of the fertiliz
er made at this factory tfill be cot
ton seed meal and acid phosphate.
Quits a transformation is being
made by the workmen in the Ala-
soaic School building, whicti has
been purchased lor the pnolic
schools. The four large rooms on
die first floor are beiug fitted up in
elegant style and will be filled with
.he tiest modern furniture. Each
if these rooms is about 27 feet
square and the four will give am-
le room for several hundred stu-
ler.ts. Ample blackboard facilities
tave been secured by making black
boards on the walls of each of the
rooms. The second story, will be
u-ed, as heretolore, as a chapel. •
A special from YY’iilington, Ks,
lys: A fund of (ivo hundred dol-
lors is being raised by the people
in the southern part ot Sumter
county for the purpose of prosecut
ing a number o; soldiers belonging
to troop L., Fifth United States
Cavalry, who recently fired upon a
barty of farmers gathering wood in
the Indian Territory, killing a
couple of their horses, and in uddi
tion subjecting them to considera
ble rough usage, in ejecting them
from Indian lands. A good deal of
rriiatiou is felt along the border at
what is considered the unnecessa
ry harshness with which the troops
enforced the law against trespass
ing over the line, and Congressmen
Peters and Perkins, representing
the districts adjacent to the Terri
lory, have been appealed to direct noon
the attention of Congress to the
matter.
