He is cordially iuvited to call again. —During his residence in Newnan several years ago Dr. E. S. Lyndon lost two children, whose remains were interred side by side iu our city ceme tery. Last Monday the remains were exhumed and carried to Athens, (the present home of the family,) Yvhere 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 equaled by any weekly paper in Wes tern Georgia, and it will be increased to two thousand before midsummer. 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.

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. Application for Year’s Support. GEORGIA—Cowi: ia County: M.

This is a good sign and we take pleasure in noting it. A communication to Col. R. W.

Fouse is repairing and refitting his store on Bay street, iu preparation for the spring trade.

The next regular Court-day, therefore, will be on the seeoud f Satur- day in April. ; » •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. * * * Wonder if Frank! in will quarantine against tne new mail route? * * * 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. List of Letters Remaining in the Post Office at New nan, Ga., March 14th, 1887. Ifnotcalled for in four weeks will be sent to the Dead Letter Office: Miss Julia Dunson, (col.) F. K. Jackson, Willie Johnson, Henry Jones, Mrs. Jane King, Auuder Land, It. E. S Smith, Mrs. Mary Vance, Andrew Vaughn, Walter Warren was in town Wednes day soliciting aid for Mr. J. T.

Daniel, intbis place,depar ted this life on Wednesday morning last. The election on the fence qnestion in the Sixth district last Monday re sulted in favor of "Stock Law” by 9 majority—the vote for “Stock Law” being 145 and “For Fence” 134. Benefield, who was tried last week before Judge Brown fur abandoning his wife and found guilty, had another case before his honor last Tuesday, he beiDg this time the plaintiff. He sued his wife for the possession of his child. The child was awarded to the mother by the Judge. Mr. E. G. Kramermadeon his place in town last year over four hundred pounds of butter. One of our hotel men has a standing order for all he can spare, and he let him have two 'hundred pounds at the very highest market price. Mr. Kramer has an ideal grass farm, and it is a perfect treat to see his fine cattle and stock of all kinds. Whitesburg Correspondence.] Mr. I. W. Pace’s little child died last week. Mrs. W. C. Aycock has been quite sick for the past several days. Mrs. Texanna Hyde, of Newnan, is over on a visit to Col. W. T. Holder- ness. Mr. J.

Cruce, of the Third district, had the misfortune to lose his steam gin and grist-mill by fire, including a 15- horse engiue, cotton-gins, mill-gear ing, aud between forty and fifty bush els of grain. The fire, which is sup posed to have caught from the engine, was discovered about midnight, hut had made such headway it was im possible to arrest it, and everything coutained in the buildiug was de stroyed.

Seuola Senlinol.] A tel. graph line has been erected at this place for the benefit of the Atlan ta aud Ilawkinsville Railroad, with Master Berry G. Couch as operator. Little Frank, the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. John McKnight, of this place, died last Monday after an ill ness of several days with diptheria. Capt. W. D. Linch, one of our most energetic and successful farmers, sold 1 something over one hundred and fif- ty bales of cotton recently at 9 cents i p’er pound. We have been reliably informed j that something over twelve miles of the Atlauta and Hawkinsville Rail road has been graded and is ready for the ties and iron. The grading of the road is being rapidly pushed forward. Mr. S. O. Smith bought 172 bales of cotton one day recently, the largest amount that has been sold at one 1 time and to one persondaring the cot ton season. Mr. Smith paid 8% and .9 i cents, but the bulk of it brought9 cents. It took about $8,000 to pay for the cot- i ton. —Mr. S. S.

DuBose, the distin guished audeloqueul evaugelist of the Atlauta Presbytery, will occupy Dr. Stacy’s pulpit uext Sunday morning. The public are cordially iuvited to at tend the services. —Tkis issue of The Herald and Advertiser is necessarily imperfect, aud must uot be regarded as a crite rion of what the paper will be when we get fully straightened out and ready for business. —Major Geo. Jones, agent of the Sa vannah, Griffiu aud North Alabama Railroad, authorizes the announce ment that all through inter-State freight rates now in effect will be with drawn on the5th of next month, after which date no railroad can guarantee rates beyond the limits of the State. This is one of the happy (?) results of the iuter-State commerce law recent ly passed by Congress; and, as most of our merchants receive their goods direct from the West and Erst, it will undoubtedly work a serious^ hardship upon them in the matter of freight road will be rnnniug to Senoia and i the traveling public will be put to a great deal of trouble if one is not built. There is money in it for some energet ic person. FAIRBUR>\ Campbell County News.] Dr. W. J. Westbrook left last Mon day for Titus county, Texas, where he will begin the practice of his chosen profession. One of the most pleasant social fea tures of the season was a rainbow par ty last Friday evening at the residence of Mr. M. P. Harvey. A large num ber of young ladies and gentlemen were present. ’Twas very amusing to see the young men hemming the aprons. We regret to learn of the death of Mr. Thomas Barnes, which occurred last Sunday at the home of his father, Mr. R. S. Barnes, in Goode’s district. HOGANS VILLE. Hogansvllle Enterprise.] Mr. J. I. Miller, of Corinth, says he has chickens that eat only six months in the year. He says they roost the other six. Allen Williams, who has been run ning a livery stable in West Point since Christmas, has sold out and is back in Hogans ville. Mrs. Fannie Whitedied at her home in Smyrna, Tenn., last Wednesday. She had many friends here who will hear of her death with sadness. She was a daughter of Mr. W. N. Sims. She was ill only a few days. It has been reported and published in several of the adjoining papers that small-pox was in Hogansvilie. It is not true. There is not nor never has been a case of small-pox in Hogans vilie. We want all of our exchanges that have published the report to con tradict it, [The Herald and Advertiser did not publish the report referred to, but we lake pleasure in reproducing the foregoing statement.—Ed.] FRANKLIN. Franklin News.] Judge Harris has been gradually improving of late, and the understand ing at present is that he will convene Court at the regular time, We regret to learn of thedifflculty at thePratt|mines, Birmingham,iu which our friend Mr. J. H. Stephens was forced to kill one of the miners. We trust that the matter will be settled without further trouble; It is more than probable that New nan will soon get another railroad The Columbus and Rome is to be con nected with the Atlaota and West Point road, and Newnan seems to be the best place for the junction. We shall proudly hail the completion of such an important line to our sister city. The small-pox scare has about sub sided, and all things are moving in their accustomed channels. Still, the average Newnanite is looked upon with suspicion and with fear, and is yet refused admission to our limits. Yes our gates are still shut. We think, however, that we can soon announce them open again, and re-extend to our charming sister city our accustomed warm and social welcome. GREENVILLE. Meriwether Vindicator.] Hon. H. R. Harris is expected home this week. Mrs. Susan Gillespie, wife of John D. Gillespie, Esq., died at her home near Stinson last Tuesday morning, aged about50 years. Newnan says that if the railroad is extended from Greenville it ought, by 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 ed. 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. Hem Ctferertisements. LUMBER. I HAVE A LARGE LOT OF LUMBER FOR SALE.
