There will be a basket dinner at the Mineral Spring, a public ad dress (by some speaker not yet chos en,) and a social reunion of the friends of the order generally. We will pub lish a full programme in our next is sue. Two of our citizens had an exciting chase after the family cow last Sunday night, between 12 and 1 o’clock, which had contrived to escape from the premises and was laying waste to everything in the shape of vegetation that came in her way. Those of onr citizens who chanced to be up at that hour aud witnessed the race describe it as an exceedingly exhilarating spec tacle. The Fairburn Nietos publishes a call for a mass meeting in that town on the first Saturday in May to take steps to secure the building of the Greenville extension to that point. Mass meet ings are cheap and we see no reason why the one advertised above should not be held; but is the ancient county- seat of Campbell prepared to come down with the “kelter?” That is the question. Stessrs. Young Thompson, Tom Thompson and Gordon Varner went down to Hogansville last Saturday night to eDjoy a practice wtth the | Hogansville brass band. Mr. Young Thompson has been instructing the band for several months and from the rapid progress they are making we should not be surprised if they at tempted soon to measure horns with the Newnan band. We just dare ’em to. All subscribers to The Herald and Advertiser are requested to ob serve tbe dates that are printed each w eek after their names on the margin of the paper.

While at work in his blacksmith shop near town last Saturday Mr. Ad Beavers received a severe cut on his left hand, nearly severing two fingers. The wound was dressed by Dr. Davis and is an exceedingly painful one. Mr. J. H.

He received much encouragement while there, and is more strongly convinced than ever that he has the biggest thing on ice. Capt. J. W. Murphy, special fertil izer inspector for the State, was in town last Saturday. It is needless to remark that he found the gopds man ufactured by the Coweta Fertilizer Company fully up to the guaranteed analysis and even higher. W. S.

Summers created a decid ed coolness in this office yesterday af ternoon, and his action is not likely to be soon forgotten. About 3 o’clock he invaded our sanctum with a chalice of ice-cold lemonade aud the frigid effects of the potation came near prostrating the entire force. He dassen’t do it again. Call at J. A.

The quantity of cotton destroyed and dam aged aggregates $3,500. upon which there was no insurance. Members of the Library Association in arrears for does are urgently re quested to make settlement without delay, as there are outstanding obli gations to be met, in addition to defraying the current monthly ex penses of the Library. A considera ble amount is due and it is to be hoped that every member in arrears will re spond promptly to this call. It is too good an institution to be permitted to languish for such a cause.

The fire- was discovered in an up-stairs closet at 4 o’clock by a daughter who bad risen thus early, but it had made such progress that tbe flames canid not be arrested. Most of the furniture down stairs was saved The house was a model country resi dence and we join his neighbors in sym pathizing with Mr. Scoggin in his less. There was no insurance. . The apron and cravat party, under the management of the ladies of the Parsonage Aid Society, was an exceed ingly pleusant affair to the participants and-reasonably profitable to the pro jectors. The gross receipts were $150, —netting the neat sum of $115.25. Little Miss Terrence Carpenter was voted the doll, Miss Lillian Dent the engraving, while Rev. W. R. Foote, as the most timid participant, received the basket of fruit. The ladies now have stored away the sDUg sum of $244 for the furtherance of their commend able enterprise. A select hop and sociable drew our young people together at the Virginia House last Friday evening, and it is already on record as one of the social successes of tbe season. “Mine host” Manlcv and his charming lady entered into the spirit of the entertainment with an earnestness that clearly evin ced their interest in the pleasure of their young friends, and were unre mitting in their attentions from first to last. There were ten or twelve couples in the party, whose enjoy ment was only limited by the hour of adjournment. Mrs. Marie Wright, special corres pondent of the Sunny South, of At lanta, Ga., arrived in this city yester day from the North. Mrs. Wright has come in the interest of her paper, and will send a series of interesting letters from this city.

Im mediate steps should be taken by our city authorities to prevent a recurrence of the disaster—for disaster it is—and we respectfully call their attention to the matter. The flowers and shrub bery that beautify the cemetery grounds are but loving memorials of the devotion of oar people to departed relatives and friends, and it is due to them as well as to the good order of the town that some more effective means of protection be adopted. Sim ilar occurrences have taken place be fore, but it is sincerely to be hoped that we may not have cause to com plain of such negligence in future. Another Robbery nt Whltesbarg. The safe-blowers appear to be opera ting in this section of the State now. Last 'Wednesday night they entered tbe store of Messrs. E. S. Roberts & Ce. at Whitesburg, blew open tbe safe, rifled it of all the money it contained (about $100,) burned the firm’s books, assisted themselves to various delica cies iu the shape of canned goods, cigars, etc., set fire to the house and escaped unobserved. Dr. Wallace, of Whitesburg,. happened to pass the store about daybreak aud discovered the fire in time to extinguish It before much damage was done. Their mode of operation was similar in every re spect to that employed in the Brooks Station robbery a few weeks ago, and it is believed to be the same gang. Our vigilant police officials are keep ing a close watch on all suspicious characters, and with such effect that so far no burglarious enterprises have been attempted in Newnan. A Singular Accident. Dr. F. H. Daniel was the victim of a singular accident last Saturday, and only escaped serious injury by a mira cle. Every dentist’s office is furnished with an apparatus or appliance known as a vulcanizer. There is a receptacle for water, which is heated by mearib of a spirit lamp placed underneath, and when the water becomes suffi ciently warm is used for softening the rubber employed in making dental plates. Dr. Daniel had occasion to use his vulcanizer last Saturday, but his lamp being out of order he placed it in tbe grate and built a fire under it. The extreme heat produced by the blaze soon made the water boiling hot and steam commenced generating so rapidly that he attempted to take it off. Just as he was in the act of removing it, however, the vessel exploded, and in an instant he was euveloped from head to foot with the scalding steam. He was completely blinded, and for a time it was feared that his eyesight had been permanent ly injured, but we are pleased to know is now rapidly recovering. It was a narrow escape.

She extends a general invitation to her friends, both in town and the country." First Pic-Nlc of the Seaton. Last Saturday morning Col. A. R. Burdett secured four or five two-horse wagons, gathered up about threescore little boys, collected a few worms, tackle, etc., and carried tbe entire party ont to Sewell’s mill for a day’s fishing. The little fellows were In high spirits from the time they left until their return, and a j oilier, happier crowd we never Baw. The day was spent most delightfully in fishing and frollicking, and Col. Burdett looked af ter the young marooners with such true parental solicitude that the day passed without a single accident or mishap— a remarkable circumstance, consider ing the number of boys under his es pionage. There were fifty-five in the party, though the names of the follow ing only could be obtained: Emmett Snead, Edgar Snead, Eu gene Fell, Steve Nall, Ernest Scrog gins.

Ar nold, Jed Walker, Calhoun Caldwell, Wiley Hill, Norwood Clark, Orrln Clark, Harvey Fell, Luther Fuller. It was the first pic-nicof the season, and Col. Burdett is not only entitled to tbe honor of getting it pp, but also to the thanks of the little fellows for the day of enjoyment which his gen erosity provided. It is now iu order for him to pic-nio the little girls, and we feel sure he will if they will only suggest it. A Card of Thanks.
