It is well known that I cured my self of canser about thirty-six years i a £°- I have treated many other eases since then and have never i»ued to cure, if the case was not °i too h»ng standing.

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 gether. There was no Sunday-school nor preaching at either of the churches in our city. Last week Mr. J. B. Mount re ceived from his brother a handsome lithographic representation of the winter palace at Montreal, Canada, which he will take pleasure in ex hibiting to those who may wish to see it. It is a magnificent scene and has-been most; charming por trayed by the artist. We regret to know that a decid edly unfavorable change was mani Tested in the condition of Miss Laura Cates yesterday, and at this writing it is feared she cannot re cover. The editor pro tem. sympat thizes with the family in their afflic tion, and though it seems almost like hoping against hope, we trus- she may yet rally and delight her family and friends by ultimately recovering. 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 ital of $100,000 and have a surplus 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. The last folder sent out by Mr. Jos. M. Brown, the wide awake general passenger agent of the Western it Atlantic railway, is a superb specimen of typography and ingenuity. In addition to the time tables ot this road and connecting lines, there is a topographical map 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 ecution. 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 : To the Citizens of Newnan and Coweta county: Panther Creek. 1IA31BICK -HEXDBIX. Married, February 22d, at the residence of the bride’s father, Mr. W. D.

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. Who will take the lead in the or ganization of the Newnan Land and Improvement Company? Editor Herald:—I sympathize with yoa and Mrs. Cates in the af fliction of your daughter, Miss Lau ra. The people generally sympa thize with your lainily and all are very anxious about Miss Laura. » Also, for brother A. D. Freeman and family all have a deep solid tude, and the prayers of mauy friends are being sent up daily for the restoration of sister Freeman. While we all can’t attend the sick chamber in person, still we can ap proach the Throne of Grace and ask the Great Physician to restore our Iriends to their wonted health. The weather has been quite wet and the public roads are very slop py. farmers are getting behind with their farm work. Mr. T. F. Jones is on the grunting list this week. Still the $135 mules come out from Newnan. It will take four bales ot cotton next (all to pay for one Ten nessee mule. I notice that our fellow-citizens, McClendon & Freeman, have out quite a neat Road Manual, only the pages seem a little wrong.

Haisten Herring is in feeble health. There ain’t but one mud hole, and that is all the way to town and back. I don’t think the bird hunters will leave seed birds if they keep on killing them out. Spring chickens ere sprouting and the blackberry bushes are putting out and I see something good in the near future. The time for bedding out sweet potatoes is at hand, and if ail who 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 grow, feed them on biscuit slop and butter milk. These are things that I know. Try them. Married, at the residence of Esqr. Ripples, by J. P. Reese, Esqr., Feb. 27th, Mr. W. H.

Your correspondent spent a pleas ant evening with Mr. Andrew MI mail and family near Holly Springs, this county, and found the Herald the family paper.
