they will be re-interred.
—The Herald and ^Advertiser
starts out with a consolidated sub
scription list exceeding seventeen hun
dred names, aud all are bona fide sub
scribers. This circulation is not

Advertisers should make a note of
this.
—A thirteea-months-pld Jersey
heifer belonging to Capt. Tom Jones
surprised und delighted its owner last
Monday bygiving birth to a calf. It
is the most remarkable instance of bo
vine precocity that has ever come to
knowledge, and we doubt if a similar
circumstance can be cited in the coun
ty or iu the State. The calf is welt
developed aud as frisky as a kitten.
Womans Foreign Missionary Society.

cation. Their principal business there
would be contracting und building,
for which they have facilities not en
joyed perhaps by any establishment
n Atlautn.
—It may not be generally known
that a prominent member of the New-
uan bar reads aud speaks French, but
ho does, aud with a fluency that would
put to shame the linguistic accom
plishments of half the college profes
sors of the country. He is a regular
subscriber to Lc Temps, a leading
Parisian newspaper, and gets his im
pressions of French character and
customs from the original Gallic.
—Beguiled by the balmy weather
with which we were favored in the
early part of the week Jack Powell
shaved off his mustache aud had his
hair cut; but the temperature fell
twenty degrees in the next “twenty-
four to forty-eight hours,” leaving
him high and dry, so to speak, with
no promotion against the fierce north
west wind Yvhieh has been blowing
for two or three days past, and with a
strong disgust for the eccentric phases
of the weather iu general. It was
clear case of misplaced confidence.

•The latest novelty that we have
seen is a self-opening umbrella, which
so adjusted that by touching a
spring in the handle the canopy can
be stretched in a moment, and by
means of an automatic attachment
it is firmly held in this uosition until
the holder desires to lower it. They
are made of the best material and are
very stylish in appearance, costing
from f2.75 for a gingham to $5 for a
gold-handled silk. It is the toniest
masculine conceit of the season aud
Messrs. Hardaway & Hunter, who in
troduced them in this city, have sold
quite a number.
Small-Tox Notes.
The Williams family are still im
proving and Dr. Long thinks they
will soon be up and able to walk
about. Mrs. Williams is yet coufln-
ed to her bed, but the other members
of the family are able to sit up and
take their meals regularly. Mr. Wil
liams, who was taken sick last week,
escaped with a mild case of varioloid
and is now convalescent; in fact, he
has not been ill enough to go to bed
since he was first taken.
The negro woman confined at the
peit-house is also improving and in
fair way to recover. A guard has
been stationed st the pest-house aud
no one except the city physician is
allowed to come near the premises.

We can state, upon competent 3nd
reliable authority, that there is ab
solutely no danger of a further spread
of the disease. It can be easily con
fined to the two families mentioned,
and every precaution necessary to re
strict the contagion to these limits
has been promptly taken by our au
thorities.

The veteran editor of the Griffin
Sun says his “information concerning
the existence of small-pox
Newnan was obtained from
gentleman of undoubted integrity,
and the information that the
thorities wele endeavoring to keep
the matter quiet was told to him by a
citizen of Newnan. * * * For one
of such tender years, Brother Brown
is entirely too fractious.” If the vet
eran editor of the Sun had “no inten
tion of doing Newnan an injustice,”
as he avers, why did he not communi
cate with our authorities before mak
ing public the ridiculous rumor he
claims to have heard? Heough; eith
er to have adopted this course or tried
other sources for a confirmation of the
alleged report. It frequently hap
pens that even “gentlemen of un
doubted integrity” are mistaken—es
pecially in transmitting reports of this
character. The generous silence of
the Grifflu Acivs concerning our mis
fortune was in such striking con
trast to the reckless previousness
of the Sun as to excite comment
here. True, the editor of the Sun, in
a subsequent issue, “disclaimed any
intention of doing Newnan an injus
tice;” but, as is generally the case
where a slander is fulminated, the
harm bad already been done.

Mr. J. I. Miller, of Corinth, says he

She had many friends here who will

The small-pox scare has about sub

their accustomed channels. Still, the
average Newnanite is looked upon
with suspicion and with fear, and is yet

Hon. H. R. Harris is expected home

Mrs. Susan Gillespie, wife of John

Newnan says that if the railroad is

all means, to run via Lutbersville to
that point. Would it not be well for
Luthersviile and Newnan to take some
public measures to induce the authori
ties to carry thb road that way? How
much money can be raised in behalf
of the extension? It is probable that a
little money promptly raised might
carry the road in the direction desir

Mrs. Martha Glanton, wife of Col.
James H. Gla’nton, died at her home
in LaGrange on Thursday, the 3d inst.
Mrs. Glanton was the daughter of
Hon. John L. Dixon, of this county,
and a general favorite in our midst.
In early life the deceased was happily
married to Hon. Alex. Hall, who died
as Colonel of the 2Sth Georgia regi
ment before Yorktown, Y T a. Several
years after the war Mrs. Hall wedded
Colonel Glanton, and moved to La-
Grange.

The Town Council ordered the shoot
ing of a mule last Monday because the
animal had the glanders. The owner
of the diseased mule carried it to the
country and the town may be consider
ed quarantined against the long-eared
beast. We may remark, in passing,
that the only way to get rid of the glan
ders is to kill the infected stock, and
the sooner the better. Anyone hand
ling sueh animals is liable to contract
the disease, which is as fatal as yellow
feyer or small-pox.

What a truly beautiful world we live

discouraged and worn out with dis
ease, when there is no occasion for this
feeling, as every sufferer can easily
