OUR NEEDS.
One of our Enterprising Citizens Sug
gests one of our Greatest.
First, we need a first class circula
ting public school library. Perhaps,
all of our citizens are not aware that
we have a library m our school build
ing, the books from w hich are being
circulated among, aud read by, our
children. This library is small, and
I say all are not aware of its existence,
because if all were, then donations of
books, &c., would oftener be made to
it.
Now, I write to call the attention of
our enterprising people to the fact, that
we have a library in our midst; but
not such an one as is worthy of our
town and school. It is useless to em
phasize the necessity aud importance
of allowing none, but good, pure read
ing matter falling into the hands of
our children. But I desire to say this;
if the virgin soil of their minds and
hearts is uot sown with good seed, it
will be sown with seeds of evil, that
will surely bring forth a crop of crime gllit t h e j r w i s hes.
A HIGH COMPLIMENT.
The governor has taken steps to have
a thorough investigation of the peniten
tiary lessees, on account of the charges
made by the committees of the late leg
islature aud as he himself and attorney
general Terrell will sit as eourt and ju
ry in the hearing of the cases, he has
employed special counsel to prose
cute the lessees. Tho attorneys em
ployed by him are the Hon. N. J.
Hammond, of Atlauta, aud Judge W.
C. Adamson of Carrollton.
This is a high compliment to Judge
Adamson to be employed in so import
ant a case in behalf of the state and to
be associated with such eminent coun
sel as the Hon. N. J. Hammond, who
is regarded by a good many members
of the bar as the most profound law
yer in the state.
The time for holding this trial has
not been fixed, though it is stated that
it will be some time in February.
Judge Adamson has gone to Atlanta
this week to confer with Col. Ham
mond and the date will be fixed to
NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES.
Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report
and unhappiness. And this is so, be
cause of the multiplicity and cheapness
of bad books and periodicals, sent out
every year by persons, who would
make monry at the expense of the mor
als of our children and the welfare of
our country. Then too, this is an age
of reading, aud our children are going
to read something. Ought we not pro-
yide for them that which is good,
healthy and helpful. I don’t care so
much, however, to stress the import
ance of pure reading matter in the
hands of our future citizens; but to re
mind of a proposition that was public
ly made some time ago, aud also to sug
gest a thought or two in „connection
therewith.
A citizen in our city proposed to be
one of fifty persons to donate two books
each, as a Christmas gift to the public
school library. Seyeral of our live
citizens accepted this proposition, and
I expect the librarian has been daily
looking for the books.
Now let me suggest, there are,
doubtless, many homes in our city
where good and standard books have
virtually been laid aside, and, perhaps,
the dust of time has accumulated upon
them, all the members cf the family
having read them. These books, like
silver images of the twelve apostles
that Cromwell found in some church,
are doing no good. Why not act as
wisely with regard to them as the
great English Protector did with the
images; put them in circulation? You
can do this by donating them to the
public school library. I learn there is
an annual charge of a small amount,
for the use of the books of the library,
and this fee limits the number of those
who read the books. Let me suggest
this: Each book put in the library is
valued, or should be. Now, when do
nating books, give some one. either in
the school or out, credit to an amount
equal to tho value of the books dona
ted, and thu3 give access to the libra
ry, with its numerous volumes. By
this plan no home will be robbed of
its own private library, and yet we
will all have access to many volumes
in the public library. In this way we
encourage reading upon tho part of
our school children, for children are
usually interested in what ihe parents
arc interested.
In conclusion I would say, that un
der the strict censorship of Prof. Hol
lingsworth and his corps of excellent
teachers, we need not fear that any
but good books will bo admitted to the
library.
This need of our town can be bo
easily supplied. What shall we do
about it? “Enterprise.”
The Constitution in noticing the gov
eruors selection of counsel has the fol
lowing.
The appointments made by Govern
or Atkinson will be generally applaud
ed. The eminent fitness of Colonel
Hammond for any responsibility is ev
erywhere recognized, aud in a hearing
in which penitentiary lease is brought
into question he is pre-eminently the
man, as he was attorney general of the
state at the time the lease was made.
Judge Adamson is one of the best law
yers of western Georgia. Ho practices
especially in the Coweta circuit, but is
very well known here in Atlanta aud
throughout the stato. With Colonel
Hammond and Judge Adamsou as
state’s counsel it is certain that the
fall facts concerning the treatment of
convicts and the practicafoperations of
the lease system will be brought out,

It acts mildly on the stomach and bow

Some newspaper writer having sug
gested the name of the Hon. T. A. At
kinson for congress from the Fourth dis
trict, the Meriwether Vindicator pub
lished at his old home says that while
Tom would make a tip top congressman
his friends would prefer that he stay
where he is. He has filled the office of
solicitor of the Coweta circuit with
marked ability and to the full satisfac
tion of the people and they would like
to keep him there another term. While
we do not speak by authority, we think,
Mr. Atkinson has no congressional bee
buzzing around his head but would be
fully satisfied to remain where he is.
His experience in the office of solicitor
renders him better qualified than ever to
serve the people and we think he has no
desire to be in anybody’s way for con
gress. Let us keep him right where he
is.

Col. P. S. Whatley of Newnan has
been tendered a position in the interior
department by Secretary Smith and has
been assigned to duty in Oklahoma.
On Sunday the 3rd of January, Dr.
Jas. Stacy of Newnan celebrated the
thirty ninth anniversary of his pastorate
at the Presbyterian church in that city
by preaching one of his best sermons.
Newnan Herald: Hon. Pope Jones
has set an example in the matter of rais
ing home supplies that could be emula
ted with profit by every farmer in Cow
eta county. Last year he gathered over
five thousand bushels of corn, saved six
or eight thousand pounds of meat, hous
ed enough hay and oats to feed his stock
all winter, and made besides several bar-
sels of the finest ribbon-cane syrup that
has ever been oflered for sale in this
market. He has been experimenting
also with sugar, and has met % with
such success as will
probably encourage him r,o contin
ue his experiments. He dried out several
hundred pounds of sugar last year, sam
ples of which compare favorably with
the best New Orleans light brown grad
es. Mr. Jones buys nothing that he can
raise at home, and his cotton crop is al
ways a surplus one. What lie accom
plishes every year by his thrifty meth
ods can be done by any farmer iu the
county. It is only necessary to get out
of the all, cotton rut for a year or so to
demonstrate the wonderful possibilities
of our climate and soil,and to prove that
uo system of farming can be successful
that Is not based on Mr. Jones’ plan of
raising one’s supplies at home,
The Franklin News says that the
friends of Col. W. H. L>aniel,

ters the race he will make it lively for
the. other candidates. Heard has never
had the office of Congressman, and now
she asks to be recognized.
