The public school question still hangs fire. At a meeting of the City Council on Wednesdey night last it was decided that those voters only can be heldprima facie illegal who have taxes outstanding against them, and that a failure to give in taxes does not amount to disquali- cation. Exceptions were taken to this ruling by the opponents of the measure and further argument was had on the question at the regular meeting of the City Council last sight, but we have been unable to learn what conclusion was reached. Cohen, the alleged Confederate veteran and peripatetic optician who vended his wares on our streets lest week, was arrested in Alabama a day or so ago ou a warrant charg ing him with practicing medicine without license. The warrant was issued from Carroll county, (where the offense was committed,) and turned over to Marshal Robinson, of this city, who proceeded at once to Alabama, secured his prisoner and returned to Newnan yesterday morning. It is perhaps well for Carrollton that she is so convenient ly situated that she can call into re quisition the services of our efficient City Marshal in emergencies of this sort, else offenders against her peace and good order might go un- whipt of justice.

W. Clarke. It is well knowu that in the best cotton sec tions, at a certain time, a species of worm appears in swarming mil lions and in avery short time they destroy almost the entire crop Heretofore the farmers have de pended upon the slow process hand-pumps and other such appli ances for sprinkling the cotton leaves with poisoned water and Killing the worms. These processes are necessarily so slow that ere the work can be done a very large percentage of the crop destroyed. Mr. Clarke had an ex perienceof this kind last year on his Alabama plantation, and it set him to thinking. Having an invent ive mind, be soon evolved from a machine which to-day proves by practical test to be of incalculable value. It consists of a forty-five gal ion reservoir mounted on two wheels and connected with a double force pnmp by means of which the poi soned water is forced out in a spray from punctured tubes attached the back part of the machine. The pumps are worked by an endless chain attached to the cogged hubs of the wheels, and work slow or fast in unison with the motion of the wheels. These may be thrown off gear at any time, so that the pumps will not be in action though the machine is in motion. It is made to be palled by two horses and of such a width as to straddle one row of cotton. The spray covers a space of fifty feet be hind the machine as it passes thronghthe field. Less than one pound of the poison dissolved in forty-five gallons of water will cov er in this way three acres of cotton Mr. Clarke has had a number of these machines manufactured by the R. D. Cole Manufacturing Co. and has begun to ship ihetu The price is $100. While wi hope it will prove very profitable to him, at the same time there is no doubt of it being worth miUIons of dollars to the cotton interests of the Sooth, IT WUliLU BKSBFIT NZW.TAIt. We publish in another column an article showing the profitableness of Southern cotton mills. The annual report of the Eagle and Phenix mills at Columbus shows how from the moderate commencement of a single mill half filled with machin ery, the works have no rivals in the South as to size, and the stockhold ers have received $1,513,160 in divi dends, or $263,160 more than the capital stock invested by them. The productive capacity of the mills has bien increased more than five times without calling upon tbe stockholders for my contributions Manufacturing is on a boom in the South and why should not Newnan profit by it as well as our neighbor ing cities of Griffin and Columbns. We can’t help saying something occasionally in behalf of the pro jected Newnan A Western railway in view Of th9 immense advantage its construction would be to our city. As to the mineral region through which it would pass when once over the Alabama line, we no tice an editorial in the last Moun tain Home, published at Tallade ga, which speaks of Talladega county as “richer-in variety and abundance of minerals than any other in Alabama.” It moreover asserts that the iron ores of that section are of the highest grades and particularly adapted to the manufacture of steel, and that every five miles of Talledega Valley would justify having a furnace That paper further says: fne marble ot this county has a reputation equal to that of her iron. It is of the finest quality but despite its excellence, it is found in such large quantities and is so accessible that it is used to flux the furnaces in the county in lieu of lime rock The lode of gold which has its northern terminus in North Caro lina, extends through along the eastern part of Talladega county, where its richest deposits lie. This has heretofore been very renumer- ative, even to those who worked it by hand Without any mining facil ities.” A TALEXTIXE.

Pop*. 19-1 With the compliments of Mr.Jos- eph M. Brown, general passenger and ticket agent of the Western A Atlantic railway, we received i beautiful valentine. JII was an illus trated poem, quaintly and artisti cally printed in pamphlet style. The poem is based upon this in cident: During the fighting around Marietta, Ga., between Johnson’s and Sherman’s armies in June,1864, Kennesaw Mountain was the key to the Confederate line. Its “wood covered sides, breaking down in to deep ravines, made an impreg nable military position.” The read leading to the summit of the Little Kennesaw being difficult of ascent, and exposed to the enemy’s fire,the Confederates dragged their artil lery straight up the side of the mountain, on the south, by ropes (prolongues) and thus planted them “above the dizzy heights.” Mr. Brown has proven himsell a model railroad official and by his excellent management has largely developed the business of the State Road. Panther Creek. Editor Herald:—The fanners are moving on with their work. Prof. W. A. Allen has a good school, with about fifty scholars. Dr’s J. R. Sewell and Boynton have moved to F. R. Logan’s place We are glad to have the boys with us once more. Panther Creek has five doctors. There are mere doctors than pa tients in this part of the moral vine yard. Father Ripples is complaining at this writing. Miss Ann Carter has returned home from Carrollton, where she had been visiting some time. Bev. E. B. Barrett preached good sermon at Macm o i > last Sun Jay, to a large audience. W. R. Roaning happened to bad accident last Saturday while cutt ng. He made an awkward lick and cut his leg very badly. Master Eddie Elder has been sick, but he is up again and going to school. Mrs. W. A. Allen came to see mother Ripples last Thursday and we would be glad to have h°r come again. Mr. Patrick Gibson is sick with cold. J. H. Hyde has a very sick child- We are-glad to learn that it is bel ter. Dr. W. W. Carmicai is quite sick from the effects of the measles. Jim Ripples. Peach trees are blooming and plum bushes are in full bloom. Ai der tags, maples and johnnie jumps are in bloom, and the blue birds are singing their sweet notes. The little babe of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Sewell was buried at Macedonia last Friday afternoon. The negroes are dying at a rapid rate in this section. Two died in one day last week. This makes four or five for the last few days, and others are sick. Colds and fe vers seem to be fatal with the ne gro race. Uanah Perkins (col.) committed burglary by breaking into the dwel ling house of Mr. James Morrison a few nights ago and stealing eleven dollars and a half in money and about 100 pounds of meat. Uanah now boards in jail- He confessed to the crime. Some young men in this district got left while snipe hunting 'a few nights ago. Mr. M. N. Sewell Jr. and family moved back from Atlanta last Fri day. We welcome them back mong their kindred and friends. I attended the quarterly meeting at Andrew Chapel on last Saturday and Sunday. Presiding Elder Mix- in preached at 11 o’clock Saturday. He is a plain, outspoken, earnest minister. At the close of the sermon prayer was offered by Dr. Morgan, preacher in charge. Then Hon. Anselem Leigh was elected secre tary. A recess of three quarters of hour was then enjoyed, which was devoted to eating, chatting, etc. fhe ladies spread a fine dinner, as usual, and all seemed to enjoy the privilege of eating. I never attend ed a quarterly meetiug before, nor knew what it took to constitute an assembly of this character. I find that it requires good preach ing good victuals, pretty women and $425—$374 for the preacher in charge nd $51 for the Presiding Elder. The next quarterly meeting for North Coweta Circuit will likely be held at Mt. Carmel on Saturday be fore the second Sabbath in May. We had a heavy rain Saturday night. Ripples. E. S.

We are glad to have her in our mids f and think she will add mnch to our social circle. The many friends of Mrs. Caro line Moore were glad she returned home from a long visit to her chil dren in Troup and Meriwethc-r counties. Mrs. Shade Hogan and her two bright little daughters visited Lone Oak last Saturday. Simon Clemons (col.), who lives with Mr. Wm. Hogan, l->st a cow hist fall, which he thought was sto len, but much to his surprise he found it last week in an eight foot ditch. Messis. Wm. Griffith and R. T. South carried a drove of cattle from this community last week to At lanta. They have returned and are b-iying another drove. Miss Jessie Jackson is visiting her sister, Mrs Josie Mathews, near Hogansville. We are sorry to give up Mr. W. W. Wisdom and his estimable lady, v h > have located in Hogansville. Our community will greatly miss such a Christian gentleman, espe cially from church and Shntlay- school. Dr. L. C. Wisdom returned home on the 17th from a visit to relatives Harris county, where he was summoned to see his brother John’s wife, who was very ill, but when he reaehed them she was dead. Thus, “God’s children are gathering home.” Violet. And Free Menagerie will pitch its tents 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” the 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 aud im ported direct from its native coun try; also Lions, Tigers, Leopards, Panthers, Snakes and Birds from the wilds of Africa.
