This is the largest Jersey transaction we have yet noted In this county. From January 6 to Feb 6 Messrs. Simms A Keith sold males to the valoe of $12,000 in cash and 1^000 on time. That beats the record and speaks well for the condition of the farmers who pay cash for their stock. Miss Florence Elmore, the distin guished Southern actress, will ap pear at the Opera House Thursday night of this week in one of her best characters. Many a success has been scored by her as “Camille” and the play is exceedingly attrac tive. A few days ago Winter seemed to be napping, bat he is ou duty again. Mr. W. B.

M»j. Geo. Jones informs us that the report of Calhoun’s ill health was incorrect, and it gives us pleas ure to so state. The young folks did not forget that yesterday was Valentine day and the usual quantum oi fun and sentiment was indulged. . Methodist services wore held at the Presbyterian church Sunday, the furnace of the Methodist chnrch not having been repaired. Don’t forget that Maj. Mite and his wife will be with DeHaven’s Show next week. He is 3 feet 1 inch tall And she, 2 feet 7 inches. While Newnan is not on a “boom,” so to speak, yet property values are firm and it is a notable lact that comparatively little property is on the market. Central lots for sale are scarce as gold dust. Improve ments of a permanent character are, constantly being made and the city is on a solid basis. Col Orlando McClendon has gone to Decatur, Ala, on business connect ed with the Waiter Gordon estate, of which he is the administrator. Clifford Glover,the eight-year-old son of Maj.N. B. Glover,was thrown from a horse last Tuesday and slightly bruised. No serious dam age. Mr. E. S. Buchanan will open out his stock o! goods this week at the storeroom on the west side of pub lic square recently occupied by Mr Snead. The Odd Fellows of Newnan who hold membership in the Encump- mentin Atlanta will soon apply for a charter to organize an Encamp ment in this city. Carroll Free Press:—Bob Long went to Newnan Sunday and for some cause or other went again on Wednesday. Bob’s movements of late are decidedly suspicious. Mr. W.C. Snead has moved his stock of shoes, hats, etc., to the storeroom on Greenville street which has recently been so el egantly fitted for his occupancy. About twelve thousand bales of cotton have been received in New nan from the crop of 1886. There will be several thousand more hales, we presume, before the close of the season. Messrs. Walker Camp and Will Dodd have been taking a lively hand in the mule trade in connec tion with Mr. J. A. Parks. They have sold out their droves two or three times. Judge Harris will not he able to hold Coweta Court in March, but he has made arrangements with other Judges, who will preside dur ing the two weeks allotted to this Court. The ladies of the Memorial Asso ciation are reouested to meet Wed nesday 3 p. rn. at Thompson’s fur niture store for the purpose of select ing the memorial orator for the next anniversary occasion. S. fiL Wilson, Wall Paper dealer. Mr. A. F. Murphy has succeeded in working up a lodge of Ancient Order of United Workmen which will be organized in Masonic Hall on the 24th inst. In the meantime Mr. Murphy will try to organise a lodge in Griffin. Mr. I. P.Bradley has exchanged his vacant lot on Greenville Street opposite the residence of Mr. J. A. Parks and a house and lot beyond Mr. I.N. Orr’s residence for the residence of Mr. J. G. Shannon, pay ing some difference in money. Mr. Wm. Smith, of the Carroll |» to pm u Monday evening we ate unable to report the occurrences of that evening Bat we are assured that the Valea- tine drawing at Thomas’ Hall last evening for the benefit of the Meth odist parsonage was a successful event. We are the more assured of this, because the entertainment was nnder the management of ladies who never fail in what they nnder- take. Mr. Joe Shannon has been look ing after the Alabama booms dar ing the past two weeks and he has come to the.concluslon that there is a better chance for a poor man at Gadsden than anywhere else. He thinks the booms are too much inflated at Blrminghrm and Ann iston. ‘•’or our part we have con cluded that they are all inflated far beyond the capacity of oar parse and we will hold on to Newnan. Free Press, was in our city last week on his way to Atlanta. He was the guest of his old Alabama neighbor, Dr. R. L. Y. Long. We regretted not being in the office When he visited our sanctum. Mrs. A. D. Freeman was stricken with paralysis Tuesday last,the right half of her body t.nd limbs be ing affected. Since that time she has been gradually improving and we are glad to learn (hat the pros pects are flattering for her early re covery. LaGrange Reporter:—Mr. C. H. Hyde has accepted the position of foreman in Cox & Butler’s variety works. lie lives in Newnan, but we hope will mo\ e his family to La- Grange. fie is a ruling elder of the Presbyterian church and a man of deep piety. The splendid acting at the Opera House last evening insures a large attendance to-night, when Mr. O’Connor will present ^‘-Hamlet” to his audience. It is not often that a Newnau audience has the privi lege of so high an order of dramat ic talent. The Carrollton Free Press says that Mr. W. W. Bagan, who has no children of his own to educate, has requested the Editors of the two lo cal papers to pick out some worthy child, who is not able to pay the matriculation fee to enter the pub lic schools, and he will pay it for them. Mr. &. wants the public schools to succeed, and he does this in addition to paying cheerfully the school tax upon his property. The patriot: and noble spirit manifest ed by Mr. Ragan in this matter is one to be commended. Mr. Luther T. Moses has been commissioned as General Deputy Collector ol United States Revenues for the State of Georgia. His in telligence and fine business qualifi cations make this a fit appointment and we doubt not he will render valuable service to fho Govern ment. * Carroll Free Press:—The Royal Arch Masons of this place leceived a number of their Newnan brethren Wednesday evening. The follow ing is a list of the visiting brethren: E. D. Fouse, Orlando McClendon Robert Freeman, Wm. Wells, Gabe Johnson, Sheriff Carmical, W. W Hardy, Tim Mitchell, J. H Dent, W. J. Barnard. The object of the visit was to assist the local brethren in the exemplification of the work of the Chapter. The oc casion we understand was quite a pleasant one, an<l was very much enjoyed by the local Lodge. We have heard tell of “groanin tables, but their groaning did not avail as a warning to Mrs. H. M. Arnold, as in her generous enthusi asm she piled dish upon dish of “rich rare and racy” viands upon her ex tension tables for the Saturday night reception in honor of her brother and hia bride. Just as with much satisfaction she had complet ed the task, the tables gave way with a crash and all the nice things were piled in a disastrous heap to gether. Of course, tongue cannot express the dismay which spread like a pall over the household; but the fragments were quickly gather ed up and with woman’s pluck and energy things were brought to rights m time for the coming guests and “all went merry as a marriage bell.” The Mayor and Council of New nan last week extended an invita tion in behalf of our citizens for the next meeting ol the State Agricul* tural Society to be held in this city. A telegram was sent to the body then in session at Amercus con veying the invit: tion But Canton bore off the prize, and the next ses sion will be held there in August. We are in our new quarters on Greenville street. New goods are arriving daily. Come and see us. 18- Snead’s Shoe Storf. Carrollton Free Press:—Dr. R. L. Y Long of Newn&n was called to Car- ollton last week professionally. I>r. Long is the father of our enter rising townsmen, Messrs. E. H. nd Bob Long, and a physician of ligh standing and attainments.

There having been some appre hension from rumors afloat that the Rome & Carrollton R. R. would not be completed, a telegram from Rome gives assurance that the ru mor is groundless. The surveying corps was temporarily withdrawn for the purpose of locating that part of the line which is between Rome and Chattanooga. The prettiest Store and the pret tiest new Spring Shoes and Hats in the State, at Snead’s Just received a fine drove of males and horses, which we will sell for cash, or on time, with rood secu rity.

We notice in the Dahlonega Sig nal a lengthy editorial about the “Preacher” gold mine which is the property of our esteemed county- man, Rev. H. S. Reese, of Turin. The editorial is based on the follow ing facts: “Some excitement was created on Tuesday by a rich find at the “Preacher” gold mine, worked by Messrs. J. L. Wallace and Robert Howell. The mine has been paying profitably all the time these gentle men have had charge of it, but when the workman in the big, deep shaft called out to the other work men above him that he had struck it ’hey knew wnat he meant and a few of them went down to wnere he was. It was certainly a magnificent sight. Before their eyes were a few small rocks literally filled with gold, the brightness of which almost daz zled their eyes. They soon made it known and about half a peck of the ore was brought up and put into a mortar and with a pestle the gold was pounded out of the rock. Out ol one of the rocks about the size of a large turnip, 113 pennyweights, mostly in nuggets, were gotten out. From the balance, of the r^ck 82 pennyweights were gotten, making in all 195 pennyweights of pure gold from less than a peck ol quartz. The quartz was solid and of a rose color. One of the nuggets was as large as a pullet’s egg.” An old California miner who was present says that he never before saw so much gold come from such a small amount of ore. A note from Mr. Reese, * ho is still at the mine, informs us that the boom at Dahlonega is swelling to large proportions and parties are anxiens to bay his mine at large fig ures. GREAT CHANGES AT J. B. MOUNT’S EMPIRE STORE! The entire clothing srock of J* B. Mount has been moved up stairs and marked down to clearing-oat prices. The $17.00 suits are now down to $1250, and the $12.50 suits are*bffered at $8.00 and the $8.00 suits are going at $5.00. Only abont forty-seven Overcoats are left out of the immense stock with which we began the season, and these will be closed out regardless of cost. J. B. Mount is filling up the rear part of bis large storeroom with a fall stock of Groceries, Tobaccos and Provision;, which he offers at prices beyond competition and on terms agreeable to the season of the year. See him before making yonr arrangements for the season. 15- J. B. MOUNT. MULE8 AND HORSES. We have on hand a fine drove of moles and horses which we will sell cheap for cash, or on time with good security. Call on ns at Keith s Stable. 15- Sncxs A Keith. E3TRAY!

Batlit. If the capitalists of Newnan should organise a Land and Im provemeat Company it woahl cer tainly do much .toward building up >he indostri-1 interests of the cilj. Tin object would be to give aid and encouragement to every worthy enterprise which might be located here. By means of soch an organization, a systematic effort in this direction cunld be made, which would accomplish far more than any individual effort There are men of skill and experience in many manufacturing enterprises who could be induced to establish business in thiirline ot manufac tores if a local interest were mani fee ted in asnbstantial way. It is b> the multiplication of small indus tries that the greatest prosperity is attained. There are hundred.- of these which could be profitably worked in Newnan and by whirl her future greatness would be as sured. This Land and Improvement Company co.. Id also take a hand in ratfroad construction, perfecting the lines of communication, by which the facilities for the distri bution of these various manufact ured articles would be increased and perfected. The Company might also find it profitable to in vest in city and suburban property for the purpose, ol improving it and making it more attractive and desirable. In union there is strength, in co-operation there is development The vast mineral wealth of Ala bama and other states lay dorma nt for centuries, but at the beck of or ganized capital it springs into mag ic power and activity. We have no mineral wealth ,it is true, but we have an advantagons location for manufacturing and commer cial development, if we but will il. Public Schools In Uarrollton. The public schools opened in Carrollton last week with 162 in at tendance the firstday. It was a proud day for our plucky neighbor and we too are proud of her progressive spirit. The Free Press is enthu siastic, closing a glowing editorial as follow:-: “Altogether our people have cause to congratulate themselves upon the acquisition ol this mag nificent enterprise. Indeed, its beneficent influence is plainly vis ible, and even now our business shows an activity which is direct ly tracable to the Carrollion Pub lic Schools. Let us all pull togeth er and uphold the work so gloriously begun. Certainly, it is the extreme ol folly to antagonize a local insti tution, which, in its very infancy, has assumed the proportions ol a giant, and gives such unmistakable indications of usefulness. Since the above was in type, we learn that on the following morning, Thursday, school opened with 174 pupils. It is confidently expected that by Monday next the atten dance will reach 200. SIXES—STACY. Married Thursday night at the residence of the bride’s parents in Wilkes county, N. C, Mr. J. H Simms of thi« county and Miss Cqra Stacy. The happy bride and groom arrived in Newnan Saturday after noon and were given a brilliant re ception at night at the residence of his brother-in-law, Mr. H. M. Ar nold. We congratulate “Shack” upon his fortunate capture of a lovely bride and we wish for them both all manner of good things in this life. BtHAVE.vs snow And Free Menagerie will pitch its tent6 in Newnan on the 23rd inst. Judging from the published an nouncements, it is quite an attrac tive show for the money. In it may be seen “Romeo” ihe celebrated El ephant, a spotted Jaguar from Cen tral America, the Lion-slayer, a den of live Alligators and the only baby Camel now exhibited in this country. In it may also be seen the Sacred Cow, purchased and im ported difeet from its native coun try; also Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Panthers, Snakes and Birds from the wilds of Africa.

The Appearance of n New and Brilliant Tragic Actress. At the opera house last night the play was “Camille” and the star was Florence Elmore. Of the plaj nothing need be said; its pathetic story is too familiar to warrant rep etition. Of Ihe star much may be said, and yet not one word unfavor able. Florence Elmore is a native of the South, which, of course, is in her fa- vor.but it is not alone for that reason that she deserves well of Southern theatre-goers. She is an actres- ol such unusual talent, that were she a native of the bleakest section ol the country she would still deserve the warmest praise. Florence Elmore is really a bril liant addition to the ranks of a few tragic actresses who lend lustre to the American stage. Added to the singular beauty of hsr face and form, she possesses drara.uic power that is certainly not excelled by any, and which is equaled only by a few As “Camille” she displays her remarkable talent to a fine ad vantage. Her concep'ion and por trayal offhe character are original, and, at the same time, perfectly true. In no scene does she fail to <irry her audience with her. Last night those who heard her laughed wlieu she laughed, and shed tears when she shed them. Her imper sonation was wonderfully realistic. She suffeted from a severe cold, but her magnificent work caused her au- lience to forget the fact. Expressed in a single sentence, she is such an actress as is seen in Atlanta but rarely, and those who fail to see her will, whether they are aware of it >r not, have cause to regret it. The support is good. Part of it is exceptionally so. Mr. Hugh Mel- ford’s “Duval” is a finished piece of work. As “Prudence” and “Nan nie,” Miss Rhea Atherton and Miss Annie Cadiz were very pleasing. At the matinee this afternoon Camille” will be repeated. To- night“Ingomar” will be produced. The Constitution urges those who love really good a-ting to go and see Florence Elmore.—Constitu tion. Fourth District. O’Connor as “Hamlet.’ James Owen O’Connor, the great Irish-American tragedian and the onlylegitmate successor of the late John McCullough, will appear at the Opera House on Saturday eve ning next, In Shakspeare’s beauti ful, immortal tragedy-drama, in five acta, entitled, “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark,” supported by his own company of fifteen of New York’s most noted tragedians and tragedi ennes, making the company, in ev ery detail, one of the most thorough ly dramatic that has ever traveled Editor Herald:—Do you ever have any unlucky days? Last Monday was one for me. I set oul early to do a big days work, but soon my plow struck a grub and the mules broke a very important ring about the implement and the point off the plow at one dash. I soon mounted one of the mhles and posted off to a shop two miles dis tant and when I arrived the smith was gone and I had to bunt him up and at length I found him and got ray job done, and in much haste I re'urned home,adjusted the repairs, hitched up and started out again and lacked about twenty feet of making two rounds when the plow struck a solid root and the beam broke. I could not do anything to wards repairs before dinner and therefore it took me until a late hour in the evening to get ready to start again. I learn that Bethel church is still without a pastor, though Rev. R. 9. Jackson has agreed to hold meet ing for them the third Sunday and Saturday in this month. Prof. M. H. Moore, of Owen*by viile, Heard county, was visiting friends in this section on last Sun day.

After the marriage rites were cele brated the party repaired to the church, and after preaching return ed to Mrs. Millians’ with a few of their relatives and friends, where they enjoyed the viands prepared for the occasion. The marriage was a general surprise, because they nad been making lov^along time tnd their friends h,.d looked until hey had despaired, though now their congratulHions are many and hearty fnd I desire to cast in my mite by wishing them a longlife of prosperity and happiness T regret to learn that a little child of Mrs. John Morris tell into thefire Sunday morning and its hands and knees were badly burnt. Rev. Zach. Hardegree is improv ing, though bis wife was no better when last heard lrom. Uncle Johnny Bevis is thought to be a little better. 1 have-heard the question fri- qnently asked, “Was there not more wind in Janaary than was commoo Editor Herald:—Mrs. Thomas M. Sewell Jr. gave birth to twins on last Tuesday. Both were born dead and wero buried in the same coffin. Grandma Duster is quite sick. A young Mr. Stephens, son of the late Dr. George Stephens, of Sul phur Springs, Texas, is visiting his unde, Richmond Sewell. Levi Leigh, a yonng negro abnni 16 years old, died with pneumonia hi last Wednesday night. He was sick only three or four days. I wouldn’t have known anything about the school troubles at Mid way if brother Vanpelt hadn’t named it in his last letter. Let’s keep such things out of the papers. After a house is bnrnt is time to tell it. Sometime ago I wrote that Mrs. Fannie Cooper was dead, and she is alive to-day. So yon see how we correspondents make mistakes by being wrongly informed. I feel that I did the old lady an injustice, but L gave her a good send up. I think bird hunters ought to be •areful about shooting near stock •v hile plowing. A few days ago some ; niii-men limiting near where my horse was plowin' fired off their guns, cansing the animal to run away with the plow, but as it hap pened no harm was done. The widow ot Newton Sewei! is quite sick with ulcers of the throat. Our three young doctors, J. B. Sanders, William Carmiral and K. Sewell had to leave the Medical College in Atlanta and came home on account of the measles and men ingitis raging so iearfnlly among the students of the college. Our little girl, Florence Ellen, while playing at school fell and prained her left elbow, which is very painful to her. Our boy, Charley Wootten,is read ing law at home and wants to b- ad mitted to the bar when he arrives it the age of sixteen. He loves that kind of literature and loves to isten to the lawyers and public men speak. He is committing the law forms. This in no way is brag ging on my boy, but his wit is sharp linked with criticism. I guess he takes it after his mother. Elder Harrison Jones, of Hamp ton, visited his aged mother Jast week, who is confined to her bed. I hired a hand to work the other day and he was the best hand to eat 1 ever had about me.

Are CaTalnrJUsefxl la Wart Editor Herald:—Did the cav alry do any good in the late war ? The following is one answer to that question. It is a synopsis of Scott’s report at Lebanon, Ky., Sep. 3, 1862. He says: fe“I left Kingston, Ti-nn., Aug. 13, with First Ga. Cav., First La. Cavalry and Buckner’s Guard--, consisting of 896 men, marched over Cumberland moun tain to London, Ky, a distance of of 174 miles In 74 hours. Captured at London 111 prisoners, 75 wagons and mules. Was joined at Big Hill by Starnes’ regiment. My com mand now consisted of 850 men, as several had been detailed to take charge ol teams and gnard London. Marched in rear of Richmond while Gen. E. Kirby Smith was fighting in front. Captured Gen. Manson, the commanding General, 9 pieces artillery and about 3,500 prisoners making in all 4,000 prisoners, 375 wagons, 1,500 mules, besides horses and 9 pieces of artillery since I ar rived in Kentucky on the 16th Aug, 1862.” Mr. Editor, as a great many think that cavalry was not good for much else than to drink buttermilk, I copy the above to prove the contrary.

He is a good doctor, a clever man and neighbor, and ths community are glad to have him so convenient to them. Mrs. Reding is dangerously ill with imflammation of the stomach. Dr’s Glower and Stalfegs are her hysicians. Mrs. Jas. Broadwater is visiting her mother, Mrs. White, in Meri wether, who is very ill. Miss Sallie Spradlin, of Corinth, is visiting her sister, Mrs. W. T. Broadwater. Dr. Consins filled his appointment at Bethlehem church last Sunday. They have a fane Sunday-school, with Mr. Jessie Jackson as superin- tend ant. They also have singing every Sunday afternoon. Miss Sallie Lucy, of your town, is teaching a good school there. I believe there has been a yonng mule added to nearly every farm in this settlement,. Oat sowing has been the order of the day. Mr.J. A. Spradlin, of Corinth, is terracing for Mr. L. W. Bohannon. Mr. W. T. Broadwater, is sick with pneumonia. Rover. On last first Sunday T had the pleasure of meeting with many of my friends at Bethlehem chnrch, at which meeting there was an organ- zation of a Sunday-school. I am <lad to state I never witnessed more Interest manifested in a Sun- lay-school than was upon that oc casion, especially those who con nected themselves wi'h it, and were working for its interest Mr. I. J. -Tackson was elected super intendent. Quickly were the class es arranged and teachers appointed, after which Bev. S. B. Cousins preached a very able and interest- ng* sermon. The church should feel thankful and rffjoice that they have such a zealous and faithful pastor. We have a literary school at Bethlehem Academy, being taught by Mis 9 Sallie Lacy, numbering 42 students. The community at large are highly pleased with their teach er. We flatter ourselves so much as to think that we have as good a school as there is in the county of Coweta, but not the best in the county. I read a note in yonr paper that was - issued the 1st inst. that wal written from the Third district claiming to have the best school in Coweta, taught by Miss Joe Boyd. for that month V The foggy morn-1 T"was much astonished at the stato- Thursday, February 1887. 17, The Southern Tragic Queen, FLORENCE ELMORE In Dumas’Five-Act Emotional Drama, In the titular role, “CAMILLE!” Supported hj HUGH MELFORD And an Excellent Company.
