We had a quiet Sunday. The city
authorities requested that* the usual
Sunday services be omitted, because
the danger of spreading small pox
is greatly increased by large bodies
of citizens assembling themselves to

nor preaching at either of the
churches in our city.

she may yet rally and delight her
family and friends by ultimately

Owing to the small-pox scare, as
well as to the continued disability
of Judge Harris, it is feared now
i hat the March term of our Superior
Court will have lo be deferred until
April or May. A meeting of the
Newnan bar was called yesterday
t‘» take some action in the matter,
but nothing was accomplished. We
have had no court sine - last spring
and the dockets are crowded with
new business.
A cotton factory iu Newnan
could be built and stocked on a cap

fund for operating. There isevery
reason to believe that it would
prove a paying in\%strnent. The
Eagle & Phenix Mills,of Columbus,
have paid out in dividends about a
quarter of a million dollars more
than the capital stock, thus having
paid to tho stockholders more than
their entire original investment.
In addition to these dividends, it
lias from the net profits increased
its capacity four fold.

of the historic country which lies
Detween Atlanta and Chattanooga,
with the locations and names of all
the battles fought aioDg the line of
this railway. There is also on the
reverse side an interesting sketch of
these engagements. These beauti
ful folders betray much good taste in
conception and artistic talent in ex

SMALL POX.
Daring the past week oar com
munity has been in a state of alarm
bordering on panic, occasioned by
the breaking out of small pox in
Newnan.
It seems that Sid Williams came
home from New York about two
weeks ago suffering from rheuma
tism. While on tho way home a
breattng out appeared on his skin,
which was thought by the family
to be chicken pox. While in this
condition he was on the streets
mingling freely with the citizens
and no one had the least sus
picion ol his real condition. Aboat
a week ago his mother, sister
and little brother were taken sick
and it began to be whispered that
they had small pox, and it was so
pronounced by Dr. G. W. Peddy
and Dr. C. D. Smith, who die goosed
the cases.
When these facts were determin
ed the Mayor and Council insti
tuted a vigorous quarantine about
the premises, doing ail they could
to prevent the further spread of the
loathsome disease. Mayor Berry
publishes the following
card :

GREAT CHANGES AT J. B.
MOUNT’S EMPIRE STORE!
The entire clothing stock of J. B.
Mount has been moved up staiis
and marked down to clearing-out
prices. The $17.00 suits are now
down to $12 50, and the $12.50 suits
are offered at $8.00 and the $8.00
suits are going at $5.00. Only about
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 his large storeroom with a
full stock of Groceries, Tobaccos
and Provisions, which he offers at
prices beyond competition and on
terms agreeable to the season of the
year. See him before making your
arrangements for tbe season.
15- J. B. MOUNT.
As considerable alarm has been ex
hibited on account of the probable ex
istence of small-pox in tbe family of
Mr. J. 8. Williams, of this place, and as
many unfounded and exaggerated re
ports have been put iu circulation, I
deem it proper to stare that the City
Council ot Newnan have taken prompt
action and ordered and enforced all
laws and ordinances, State and muni
cipal, to prevent its spread, the in
fected premises are properly policed,
and such sanitary measures adopted as
are necessary or as have been advised by
physicians and sanitary experts. I have
•■ersonally inspected the premises and
w 11 see to it that every point is guarded
to prevent the communication of the dis
ease to others, and that the proper san
itary measures are carried out. I do
not believe persons coining to the city
from the country or neighboring villages
would be in greater danger of exposure
than is usual in passing along the streets
of cities where the disease exists almost
continuously. Persons having business
in Newnan need only keep outside the
limits barred and flagged to be secure
from exposure. The City Council—who
are all sober, sensible men—may be
trusted to do their entire duty in the
premises, with an efficient police to carry
out their orders.
IV. B. Bekhy, Mayor,
As Dr. R. L. Y. Long has himself
had the disease and has had expe
rience in its treatment, his services
were secured on Sunday and he now
has full charge of the patients. He
pronounces the cases as developing
the worst form, that which is known
as confluent, and of a very serious
character. Mr. J. S. Williams, who
has been the constant attendant of
his wife and children, has never
even been vaccinated, and there is
little doubt that he will be an early
victim.
It is hop^d that the measures
adopted will have the effect of re
stricting the disease to this one
house, provided it was not commu
nicated by Sid Williams as he min
gled promiscuously among our citi
zens. A day or two more will prob
ably relieve anxiety on this score.
While the weather has been rath
er favorable to its spread, the near
approach of spring will prevent any
extended development of this disease
and it is hoped that in a fewdavsali
cause for alarm will disappear.
The surrounding towns are quar
antining vigorously against New
nan and we presume they are right
about it. Self-preservation is the
first law of nature and it is the duty
of every c immunity to ward off so
foul and loathrome a visitant so
long as it is in their power.
Vaccinate, and be safe from the
small-pox.
Everybody should vaccinate.
WHAT ORGANIZATION CAN DO.
As an example of what Newnan
might do in the way of improve
ments, a good example is furnished
by Celera, Ala., a town of 1,200 in
habitants, situated at the crossing
of the Louisville and Nashville and
the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroads, and about equi
distant from Birmingham and
Montgomery.
In addition to a fjrnaee and coal
company, a company has been or
ganized for the manufacture of
boots and shoes. A large foundry
and machine shop is in active ope
ration and arrangements have been
concluded for a manufactory ot
boilcs. Negotiations are in pro
gress for the manufacture of han
dies, the erection of stove works.
The Calera Land Company proposes
to erect a commodious hotel and
build a street railway. Every effort
will be made to induce manufacto
ries of every description to locate
there.
l'he company owns 17,600 acres of
land in and around Celera and will
soon proceed to place on the market
for sale a large number of city lots.
With proper organization the cit
izens of Newnan might work a
great revolution in the business and
activity of our city. While the
truth is, that without some co-ope
ration on the part of capitalists we
are likely to take no active pari in
the great enterprises which are
building up the New South.
Among other things which
would bring life' and business and
wealth might be mentioned a cot
ton factory, a cotton compress, a
wagon and carriage factory and
variety works for the manufacture
of buckets, pails, brooms, Ac.

The time for bedding out sweet

want early slips will dig out a deep
bed and put fodder in the bottom,
then cotton seed on the fodder, and
then dry stable manure on the seed,
and then a thin layer of dry dirt,
then lay the potatoes and cover
with good dry dirt, you certainly
will have early slips.
If the ladies want early beans,
soak the seed before planting in
sweet milk. Water melons the
same way.
To fatten shotes and make them
