On account of the absence of impor tant counsel, all other cases were continued. Dr. W. C.

They sell goods at the regular price for cash and divide the profits. They do a legitimate bus iness in every respect. Miss Ruby Ray entertained a few of her young friends last Friday evening at a birth-day supper, and the occa sion was in all respects a most pleas- aDt aud enjoyable one. She was the surprised aud happy recipient of nu merous tokens of esteem from her friends iu the shape of birth-day pres ents, » ho vied with each other in the tasietulu-ss and costliness oftheirsev- eral favors—with whom we join most heartily iu wishiug for her many hap py returns of the pleasant event.

Refreshments will be served at a seasonable hour. Free admis sion. To-morrow, from 11 until 2 o'clock, lunch wil! be served at the hall, su pervised by. courteous aud attentive hostesses. This is designed for the benefit of our business men, and it is hoped that as many as can will com promise on their usual noon-day meal by patronizing the lunch table. A tempt ing bill of fare will be presented. The festivities will be resumed to morrow evening and continue until 10 o’clock. It is safe to predict that under tbe excellent management of the ladies of the Parsonage Aid Society, the se ries of entertainments indicated above will be highly successful; and in be half of our citizens we feel equally safe in promising that they will be numerously attended and liberally patronized. The Society hopes to realize, during the year, sufficient funds to enable them to buy a lot on which to erect a parsonage, and afterwards to have the lot improved. We trust they may be abundantly successful iu both en terprises. LARGEST STORE IN THE SOUTH.

The usual Friday afternoon exer cises at this popular institution have in nowise depreciated in interest, either in point of entertainment or in the attendance of visitors; but, on the contrary, there has been a revival in every department since the recent temp trary suspension, and weareglad to note that the school was never in a more prosperous condition. Eight boobs were off. red- as prizes in elocution and composition last Fri day afternoon, and as a consequence special ipterest was evinced in tbe ex ercises, it being the regular day for tbe Freshman, Junior and Senior Classes to read and recite. Among so many praiseworthy efforts, it would have puzzled aDy committee to decide as to the mest meritorious. In the Freshman Class, prizes were awarded Lillian Dent, Maggie Dean and Vallie Varner. Lillian Dent in “Josiah Allen’s Wife at Stewart’s," was perfectly at home In “Alexan der’s” store; talked of “Victory’s” boys as if they were next door neigh bors, aDd exhibited with just pride her indigo-dyed socks aud striped mittens. Maggie . Dean, in “The Mortgage,” charmed by her pathos, and all rejoiced that “Wandering Willie” bad bought the dear old home stead. Vallie Varner, in “The Coun tryman at Church,” carried the hoDest old Christian, hat in band, jeans coat on arm, half way up the velvet- carpeted aisle; is waved back from the rented pews, till he wonders, as he seats himself near the door, if the very floor is rented; contrasts the reception of a well-dressed stranger, etc. In the Junior Class, Misses Lizzie NEIHBORHOOD NEWS. of the A. & W.

Miss Liz zie Arnold, in “The Vagabonds,” ex hibited talent of a remarkable order. Her conception of the character was fine. It would have pleased Ryan himself to have heard her whistle to her dog and call out, “Limber your legs, you rascal,” and give him mili tary orders. In the Senior Class, Misses Mamie Swint and Jennie Burpee received the prizes. Under the topic, “Things of which you probably have never heard,” Miss Mamie Swint archly re produced the trite wisdom of the day ert J. Lowery, Treasurer; H. C. Har ris, Geueral Manager. The early com pletion of tbe road is now practically assured, and our sister town (Senoia) ought to be correspondingly happy. The citizens of Roscoe and vicinity have petitioned the Post Office De partment for an increase of service on the mail route now in operation from : that commends it to popular credence, Newnan to that poigt, to two trips per week. This is one of the most populous communities in the county, and there is every reason to hope that the request will be granted. A large I number of our most intelligent oiti- !. zens reside in this portion of the coun ty, and a favorable consideration of j their petition would be highly appre- , ciated. The Chantauquan Soclety Of College Temple furnished a most attractive programme last Wednesday, aDdkoowiug the literary tastes of our community, we reproduce it in full: “Visit to Baalbec.” Extracts from Pope's “Essay on _ L Man.” Mr. M.

Her oldest living child is between 80 and 90 years old and has great-great-great-grand- childreu. Her youngest child, with whom she is now living, has several . grandchildren. She does the cooking ! - 9ch 1 °° 1 “ ax , lm J 8 ’ ^teberi’ grandmothers’admonitions, etc. She was roundly applauded. Miss Jennie Burpee, in “A Premature Commence ment Composition,” delighted us with her humorous conception of the “sweet girl graduate’s” self-importance, heart- flutterings and glimpses ofarose-liued future; lastly, the fall of her mental thermometer when mother declares she must win M.’ A. in cuisine, also. Among tbe visitors present we no ted the following ladies: Mrs. W. C. Snead aud her charming daughter, Miss Annie DeGraflenreid, Mis. Dr. Stacy aud Misses Maude Hugben, Mary and Willie Andrews and Mattie Underwood. After the literary exercises, Prof. Kehr’s music pupils entertained the company. Miss Laura Daniel, tbe Temple’s Patti, sang several spirited soDgs with unusual success. Her vc- cal duet with Miss Mamie Swint was loudly encored. The instrumental performances were equally creditable and enjoyable. Misses Black, Dean, Beckman, Ray and Gibson gave evi dences of remarkable proficiency. Miss AdaMay Broom, in “Voices of the Heart,” certainly touched the hearts of all present. Though merit claims it, space forbids individual mention of the class. The afternoon’s exercises closed with an instrumental solo in Prof. most as good as it was fifty or seventy- five years ago, and she has never had occasion to use glasses. Never took a dose of medicine and never needed the services of a physician in her life. She remembers an earthquake that occurred In her youth that was more severe than the shock felt here in Au gust last, but is unable to indicate the exact year. The above facts are ob tained from Mr. Harris and can be substantiated. P. S.—A striking point in her life narrative, and one is the fact that she George Washington. never nursed should be addressed. The selection of Mr. Pinson for the position indicated is a recognition of his personal fitness and ability as complimentary as it is conspicuous, and is a matter of felicita- tion among his numerous friends in Newnan.
