WEEKLY CIRCULATION, 1,760. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF CITY AND COUNTY JAS. E. BROWN. Editor. A Distinguished Visitor. General Manager Belknap, of the Central Railroad, arrived in the city this morning en route to Carrollton and stopped over several hours. He is traveling in his private car and isac' companiedonlyby bis wife and private secretary. The party will leave for Carrollton about 11 o’clock by special train, returning to-night. Mr. Bel knap goes to that place for the purpose of putting a corps of surveyors on the route of the proposed extension of the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad from Carrollton to Decatur, Alabama. The surveyors are already on the ground and will begin work at once. Major U. B. Wilkinson, one of the directors of the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad, will acconi' pany the party to Carrollton and re turn, by invitation of Mr Belknap Give it a Fair Trial. Since the Inter-State commerce law went into operation on the 5th nit the people have been so engrossed in studying the intricate provisions of the measure as a whole, and tryiDg to reconcile the distracting ambiguities of the several sections separately, but little thought has been given to the probable effect that a fair and impar tial enforcement of the law would have upon the smaller towns through out the country. Iu ibis State, Atlan ta, Macon. Augusta aud Columbus have already joined in a request to the Inter-State Commission for the suspension of the fourth clause of the Act;—or, as it is getting to be famil iarly known, the “long and short haul” clause. Leading railroad towns in other States have taken similar ac tion, and, except in two or three States where no such request was preferred the Commission has agreed to a genet al suspension of the clause for the pe riod of ninety days. Before the ex piration of the term iudicated a con certed effort will be made by tbe larger towns throughout tbe country to in duce a permanent suspension of the section, and if no counter petitions are filed by interested communities it is not improbable that the Commission will at least consent to a further, if not an indefinite, suspension. Now, this is just what the iuterior towns do not want. By "Interior towns” we mean the country towns which, by reason of their isolated sit uation, are forced to submit to burden some freight rates iu competilio » with towns that enjoy special advantages in the matter of shipping facilities, Whatever of good or of practical utility that may have been originally claimed for the measure by its projectors is contained in the fourth clause, and its suspension would virtually amount to emasculation. There should be united opposition to the suspeusion of any part of tbe law until it has been fairly tested. It was not designed for tbe exclusive benefit of the larger towns, as might be inferred by tbe action uf the cities mentioned iu tbe foregoing paragraph, but was proposed for the relief of tbe whole people; and this result can only be secured by enforc ing the provisions of the law strictly and impartially. Appreciating the benefits that will likely accrue to our town from the impartial enforcement of the law, therefore, and desiring a fuller know! edge Of the practical workiugs of the plan, our citizens and business men have determined to memorialize the Inter-State Commission on the sub jent. To this end a public meeting will be held at the Court-house to night, at which time such action will be taken as may be necessary to bring the matter properly before the Com mission. A full attendance is desir ed. A Merited Compliment. The Rome Courier makes the fol lowing complimentary reference to Hon. John VV. Maddox, the new Judge of the Rome Circuit, w-nich we in dorse most heartily. Judge Maddox is one of the risiug young men of Georgia, whose public services for ten years past have been of a character that justly entitle him to recognition and eminence, and his reeent eleva tion to the State judiciary ismost grat ifying evidence of the esteem in which he is held by. the people. Says the Courier: As the first term of Floyd Superior Court, over which Judge Maddox has presided, is about to come to a close, it will be gratityiug to his many friends all over the Slate who supported him so warmly for tbe position to learn that he has fully justified their high estimate of his ability aud fitness in every way for the place by his course on the bench and in the very gener al satisfaction he has given tbe bar and the people wherever he has held a court in his circuit. The leadlug members of the Rome bar are unanimous in their expres sions of satisfaction with him as au able, conscientious and impartial Judge. One <>f the oldest and ablest members of them, speaking of Judge Maddox, voiced tbe general sentiment when be said: “I tbiuk he has bus tained himself all around the circuit, giving satisfaction to both the people and the lawyers. He is a man of quick apprehension, fine ability,excel- _ lent memory, attentive to tbe conduct ’ of the cases before him and very clear in his charges to the juries.” Those who opposed his election as Judge are equally warm in their expressions of satisfaction with his course as those who zealously supported him. In the last four weeks he has dispatched the business of the court with great rapid ity as well as impartial fairness in all cases that have come before him. His decisions, like his charges,' are commended as models of lucidity and terseness. Thoroughly competent in ability, conscientious, honest, impar tial and with cliar convictions of right and justice, as admitted by ail, Judge Maddox has in him the stufLof which the best and most honored Judges are made, and we predict for him a brilliant career. New Railroad Mileage for the Tear. From January 1 to May 1 there were laid in the United States no leas than l,8f4 miles of new main track, on six ty-five different lines, in twenty-nine States and Territories. This is an ad dition of 624 miles during the last month, and shows a total which has never before been equaled during the same period, with tbe exception of tbe first four months of 1882, when some 2,309 miles of new track were reported. The total length of new lines for that year—1882—wax 11,568 miles, by far tbe greatest mileage laid in any one year. Daring tbe first four mouths of 1886 the Railway Age’s reports show ed only 666 miles of track laid, al though the total mileage for that year was about 8,200 miles. There have already been laid this year about three and one-third times as much mileage as was credited to the corres ponding months of lest year, and more than one-half as much as the new mileage for the entire year 1885. While the effect whi-h the Inter- State Commerce law will have upon new construction is still a matter of some doubt, we now feel warranted, after taking a survey of the entire field and noiicing the great number of en terprises either in progress or pro jected, in venturing the prediction that the complete record for the year 1887 will show an addition of at least 10,000 miles of new railway, with the possibility that it may reach 12,000 or 15,000 miles. Indeed, tbe probabili ties now seem to indicate that tbe railway building during 1887 will ex ceed that of any previous year. Figures printed in the Methodist Tear Book show that on January 1, 1687, Methodism throughout the world numbered 35,000 traveling preachers, and 5,320,000 members. In the Uni ted States there are 27,000 traveling preachers, and 4,000,000 members, and a population of over 15,000,000, or more than one-fourth of tbe population ot the entire country—50,000,000. The Methodist Episcopal Church alone numbers in the United States 12,800 traveling preachers aDd 2,000,000 members, baviug 20,000 churches, worth $77,000,000 ; 7,500 parsonages, worth $11,000,000; 144 college and oth er school properties, worth, including endowments, §15,000,000; making a to tal of $103,000,000. During tbe rain last night tbe moon shone very brightly and the outlines of a rainbow were distinctly observed. Such phenomena*are of rare occur rence. Vincent. May 10th. Hon. J. T. Willis, Judge of the Chattahoochee Circuit, died suddenly last Friday from a stroke of apoplexy. Ex-Gov. Ja8. M. Smith has been ap pointed by Governor Gordon tofill tbe vacancy until a permanent successor can be elected by tbe Legislature. Dr. J. B. McFerrin, one of the most prominent Methodists of the South, died at his home in Nashville, Tenn.,*on Monday last. At the time of his death he was general manager of the Methodist Publishing House. The Hartwell Sun says "all of the millionaire-manufacturers of the Uni ted States are in favor of a high pro tective tariff,” and adds: “God bless the rich—the poor can beg.” Governor Gordon bas issued an order revoking all rewards for fugi tives issued from the Executive De partment prior to January 1st, 1886. FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS. Palmetto. Mr. Editor:—J. Bland Smith died at his home near Palmetto last Fri day. He was 29 years old. Hisdeatb as unexpected, as be had been sick but a few days. He bad mauv friends in tbe county who sympathize with bis family in this affliction. “The hand of the reaper Takes the ears that are hoary, But the voice of the weeper Walls manhood In glory.” The pic-Dic at Holleman’s Spout last Friday was voted a success by those who attended it. Mr. O. L. Kelly, tbe orator of the day, won golden opin- ions from all. His addresj was well written and gracefully delivered. Sev era! other short speeches were made, tbe dinner was abuudant, and every thing passed ofi pleasantly. Quite a crowd front both Sabbath- chools at this place will pic-nic iu Fairburn on May 20th. The colored people here are prepar ing for a big pic-nic at Johnson’s mill on Friday, May 13th. Mr. and Mrs. A N. Brittain, of An tioch, Ga., who are visiting tbe family f Mr. W. M.

Miss Tippora Harrell, who is teach ing at McDonough, spent Saturday and Sunday with her mother and sis ters in Palmetto. Corn and cotton are looking well, notwithstanding the dry weather. Wheat, oats and gardens are needing rain. Nemo. May 11th. Mr. Editor .-—After a drouth of six weeks we were visited with a fine rain last night, accompanied with considerable wind and bail. No dam age, so far as I have been able to learn. Growing crops appear to be in i bealtby condition, and cotton chop, ping is now the order of the day. The cotton acreage has been increased pos sibly ten per cent, over last year, and the corn acreage no doubt decreased iu corresponding ratio. We may now expect warm weather aud plenty of rain, which will force vegetation forward very rapidly—and, in consequence, the busy farmer will only be conspicuous on our streets by his absence. The railroad excitement bas pretty well subsided and we can only hope for more favorable developments in tbe future. Rev. E. Culpepper has been quite sick, but was so far recovered as to be able to fill bis appointment at the Baptist church last Sunday. Mrs. N. G. Connell, who has been in declining health for some time, we are glad to know is now improving. Mr. Hugh Brown, who has been visiting his parents here, has been quite sick. We are pleased to state, however, that his condition is now very much improved. We regret to hear of tbe serious ill ness of Mrs. Dr. B. F. Hodnett and hope boor to announce her convales cence. There are no other serious cases of illness in the community, so far as we have been able to learn. Mrs. 8. A.-Fall, who spent the win ter with her daughter. Mrs. Hitch, in Brooks county, Ga., has returned to Senoia and will spend several months with her children here. Mrs. Georgia Sutton, who has been spending some time with her parents here, left several days ago for her fu ture home near Greenville, Ala. We bad the .pleasure of meeting Capt. Dan Swint, of your city, this week. He is deservedly popular with the people of this section and we are In fovor of retaining him In his it office just as long as be wants Grantvilla. Mr. Editor:—“Cotton choppers” are in demand. The newly repaired street lamp# give forth brilliant lights and are a vast improvement over the former. A partridge committed suicide last Sabbath by flying against the Hotel de Sewell. Miss Dean, of Palmetto, is visiting her brother, Mr. J. E. Dean, of this place. Miss Jessie Zellars spent a day or two at home recently. She has re turned to Shorter College. All Grantville will unite in the ob servance of "Children’s day” pic-nick ing a few miles from town on Friday. SuDny South White, called “Dixie” for short, was at borne a few days last week. His many friends were glad to welcome him home. Tbe fishing party Ithich left here for Starr’s Mill last Wednesday re turned Friday morning—a lot of sleep ier, if not happier and wiser men. They caught enough to eat, but none to bring home to their wives and chil dren. Mr. M. H. Smith and lady have gone to Salt Springs, hoping, to improve the health of the latter. Uncle Billy Sewell, of LuthersviHe, was in town last Wednesday. He is as jolly and can laugh as loud as ever, especially when he has such an able assistant as Uncle Bob Word. The two make a team. Prof. S. E. Leigh, aided by Miss Sal- lie Cotter, assistant teacher, and by Mrs. J, D. Moreland, teacher of music, is making preparation for the cloeing exercises of hit school. Tbe faet that this trio are eugaged iu tbe work ia sufficient guaranty that they have in store a rare treat for the public. Some larmers are complaining tor lack of "stands” of cotton; others say they have plenty; some want rain, and others do not; some want it to make cotton come up; other who have it up waDt dry weather so as to get their cotton chopped;—and so it goes. Messrs. J. W. Colley and S. H. Hill have recently-.purchased a bicycle each, and they spin around at a rapid rate. It was like witnessing the an tics of a beginner at a skating rink to see Jim in his efforts to subdue tbe an imal. It performed with him after the style of a "trick mule,” to tbe great amusement of tbe crowd. Mr. Hill rides well. He went to Hogans- ville and back last Tuesday. “Old Aunt Cassiday,” who is nearly a hundred years old, is lying very low and before this notice is read she will have passed away. She was a most remarkable woman in many respects, aud until recently has attended to ac' done all ber bouse work. Mrs. J. H. Covin, accompanied by Mrs. J. C. Smith, of Hogansville, spent the day with Mrs. Geo. A. Car ter last Saturday. Abden. May 12th. Puckett Station. Mr. Editor:—May is considered pleasant month, but tbe household of Mr. Arthur Camp has been made un usually cheerful by the presence of twin daughters. They are said to be exactly alike. On account of tbe declining health of Mr. Jno. W. Houston’s wife, be moved to Salt Springs last week. Mrs. Houston’s mother (Mrs. Benton) moved there last year, and ber test! mony as to the curative properties of the water encouraged the move. Mr. Jefl Young lost a valuable mule last Friday. It is a serious loss at such a busy season of tbe year. The Misses Leigh, of Newnan, and Miss Lilian Evans, of White Oak, are visiting in this community. Mrs. Wm. Brannon is expected home soon. Her health has been much improved since she went to AI abama. The exercises of tbe school here on the 30ih ult. were too interesting to pass unnoticed, if they are passed over a week. So many deserve special no ■ ice that, for lack of space, wewilloDly mentiou tbe debate by four of the school. Tbe question was—"Have in ventions benefited tbe laboring class es 7” Misses Minnie Moore aud Jas Cureton were on tbe affirmative. Young Jackson and Robert Moore on i be negative. They wrote their speech es without belp, and I must say the debate would have been creditable to older heads. The committee decided in favor of the affirmative. The children of tbe Sunday-school were anticipating rest aud pleasure at a union pic-nic at Lutbersville next Saturday, until they beard of mea-des at that place. Those who have not bad the disease feel sadly disappoint ed. Farmers are shopping cotton. Some have splendid stands. A. F. S. May 10th. of rain, accompanied with wind and hail, bat not enough rain fora son.” Mr. James Hainea, of Sharpabarg, is in declining health. Borne of tbe farmers have gone over their cotton with a chopping that does bat little good. Col. Farmer, of your city, paid a via- it to kindred and friends in this vicin ity last week. Mrs. C. L. Moses, of Newnan, is on a visit to friends and relatives in this neighborhood. Mrs Blake Shell is the first of our neighbors to have fried spring chiek- May 10th. R. A. T. Powellville. Mr. Editor:—The pic-nic stSmith’i mill last Thursday was a most pleas ant occasion. Gloomy sky and drip ping clouds seemed at early morn to poitvnd a rainy day; but in due lime the silver lined cloud appeared. A select crowd assembled, and happiness and mirth claimed tbe hours. Some choice fish added greatly to the repast. Among tbe -visitors were Misses Annie Powell, Ida Hoggins, Mamie Arnold, and Maude Hughen. Memorial exercises in Newnan were well attended by the people of our village. All were delighted w' ' Mr. Smith’s scholarly oration. Mrs. George Powell visited the Cap ital last week. Miss Florence" Leigh was tecent-ly the guest of her sister, Mrs. W. M Red wine. Our SuDday-school still flourishes. Mrs. Elizabeth Bridges took charge of the senior class last Sabbath. All are proud of such a worthy successor of the former efficient teacher,' Mr. W. A. Smith. Andrew aDd Jones Chapel were well represented at Mt. Carmel quar terly meeting, and are unanimous in pronouncing tbe people there most pleasant and hospitable entertainers. In that neighborhood lives the wid ow of Marcus Nall, the gallant Major of the 41st Georgia Regiment, killed at Jonesboro. Fragrance of flowers and sweetness of bird-song seem heralding the ap proach of summer. The earth is again throbbing with quickened puls- . bat yet no rain—and tbe farmer is engaged in "burrowing" scenes. May 10th. * present Turin. Mr. Editor:—A little daughter of Rev. H. S. Rees was so' unfortunate a few days ago as to have an arm broken by falling from tbe stage mt tbe school- house. For eight years this little girl was unable to walk, from a protracted illness, and she waa a confirmed in valid until a few months ago, when she began again to walk. She has been able to walk but a short distance at a time, however. During ber long illness she was a great sufferer and tbe painful casualty mentioned above adds still further to her suffering*. Tbe parents of the afflicted child are deeply grateful for the manifestations ol sympathy extended by their neigh bors and friends. Rev. Mr. Rees is also suffer! ig with rheumatism in the arm and shoulder, which causes him much pain and anx iety. . The singing at “Standing Rock” was well attended last Sunday. The Sabbatb-echool at Starr’s Mill has an interesting membership. Mr. Wm. Gay is superijtendent and Mr. Lee A mall, secretary. The formers of Fayette county are eloae up with their work. Panther Creek. Air. Editor:—Prof. Allen’s school pic-nicked at Sewell’s mill last Satur day. Neither I nor my appetite got there; hut I learn from those who at tended that there was a large crowd, aDd a bigger dinner bas never been enjoyed in the community. The young folks eDjoyed themselves fine ly boat-riding, while the older ones found equal enjoyment in seeing the children all so happy. Mr. Will Per ry, of Newnan, entertained the crowd riding his bicycle until the thing threw him off, braisiDR him considera bly- He had the sympathies of ths crowd. Think if I owned a bicycle I would lead it around a while until it cooled off before mounting it- This event marked the close of the spring term of the school at Macedonia. The exercises will be resumed the first Monday in July. This is the next best term ever taught at Macedonia, and the second bent country school in the county. The school at Islam num bered a few more pupils than Macedo nia, but they were equal in other re spects. Tbe parents «f Panther Creek and Cedar Creek districts have every eause-to be proud of their childrau. God bless them all. Mr. James Doster ia in feeble health Elder T. M. Foster will preach at Roscoe on the fourth Lord’s Dav in this month, at 4 p. m. Feet-washing at Macedonia on the second Sunday in June. The pulpit at Macedonia has been moved back to the end of the chuich, and looks as natural as ever. I was shown two tracks tbe other ay that were made in tbe mud 42 years ago by a dog; also, a child’s track made at the same time. I would say to brother “Nemo” that his is a fine cow, but 1 could judge her butter-producing qualities better by tasting the butter. There are lota of butter cows these days. Mrs. "Rip ples” has one, and frequently before she gets through milking lumps of butter as large as guinea eggs will appear on the surface of tbe milk. So I think a cow that does her own churning is tbe best of all. This cow is one-half Jer sey, and scrubby at that. Trot out an other town cow, brother “Nemo.” A citizen of the neighborhood mis took Jake Petty for Prof. Ed. Beadles the other day. The Professor will be mad when be hears of it, I know. Mr. E. S. Daniel lost a fine mule a few days ago. Grubs. Plenty of old field strawberries get ting ripe. i was in Newnan the other day and the editor forgot to make mention of tbe fact in bis paper. I got behind a good dinner at Hon. P. H. Brewster’s, though, which was far better than an emrty notice. Born—at Dr. J. R. Sewell’s, a boy. At E. C. Palmer’s It was not a boy. May 9th. Ripples.

Upshaw, who has been sick for quite a while, is slowly im proving. Graud preparations are on foot for a uniou Sabbath-school pic-nic here next Saturday. A most pleasant oc casion is anticipated. Mr. J. W. Fuller's horse strayed off Sunday night, and after a two days' search be was found at Tom Benton’s, near Puckett Station. Muggins. May 12tb. D. H. DOUGHERTY & CO., ATLANTA, GA. DID YOU EVER Hear a rifle shot ring onton the morning air? Well, it has a clean-cut crack that “gets there” over tbe h’lla and makes you know what it means. Now just listen to the crack of our old army musket to-day and yon’ll hear something whizz through the air. We shall confine ourselves to a small space to-day, for fear we fly the track, and besides, when we say so much, it la more difficult to recollect what we have said.

Every thing seems revived and refreshed this msrning. The people look better, feel better, and if they are not better they should be. It seems that onr formers generally have taken'it into their heads to raise what they Deed at home this year and let tbe West and North alone. Se mote it be. Mr. J. F. Copeland would like to know who gave him the counterfeit dollar. Tbe man who did so can get it back if be wants it. An interesting meeting was held at the Baptist church here on Friday, Saturday and Sunday last. Tbe min isters in attendance were Rev. R. H. Jackson, Rev. F. J. Amis, Rev. J. M. Hood aDd Rev. Mr Carson. Tbe health of this community is good, so far as we can learn. We understand that Mr. George Caldwell, of Coweta, is in very feeble heal h. Mrs. Nancy Skipper is also quite sick.

Any assistance rendered in the way of food or aparel will be greatly appreciated by this afflicted woman. May 10th. Yuba. Mr. Editor:—Riverside, the place from whicb I write, is situated about one mile and a half from Corinth, in Heard county, on-the left bank of New river, and commands a magnifi cent and picturesque view of tbe sur rounding country.

Gold and iron ore have been found in limited quantities. As a class, our farmers are thrifty, energet ic and prosperous. To those seeking pleasure, our locality offers advan tages that cannot be surpassed. Tbe rippling waters of New river abound in fish of tbe various species. Here tbe fisherman can angle for the finny tribe to bis heart’s content. Our farmers were blessed with a re freshing rain last Monday night, caus ing tbe young plants to put forth with renewed vigor. Most of our agriculturists are well up with their work. Corinth literary school and the sur rounding country will hold their an nual pic-nic at Brown’s bridge next Friday, the 13th.
