TAX RECEIVER’S NOTICE.

Mrs. J: R. Wilkinson, of Atlanta, ar rived last Saturday and has spent the week visiting relatives and friends in the community. The site of Kockalo postoffice, in Heard couuly, has been changed to a pjinl three-fourths of a mile south west of its late location. I)r. J. D. Burkbead, of Montgomery, who was expected to assist Dr. Stacy during this week at the meeting now iu progress at the Presbyterian church, was prevented from filling his appointment by reason of sickness in his congregation. If nothing un foreseen happens, however, he will reach Newnan next Monday and be ! with usduriug tbe week. The meet ings have been very well attended so far, Rev. W. R. Foote assisting Dr. Stacy in conducting them. We trust much and lasting good will result from the ministrations of these be loved divines. Last Sunday Mrs. J. P. Askew, (the venerable mother of our fellow-towns men, Messrs. William, John and B. S. Askew,) was taken suddenly ill with pneumonia. Though promptly aud skillfully treated by the family physician, she grew steadily worse and it soon became apparent that she could not survive the attack. She continued to sink until Wednesday night last, when death relieved her of her sufferings and she calmly fell asleep in Jesus. She was an exempla ry Christian, a dutiful wife, an affec tionate mother, a kind neighbor and a most worthy and excellent lady, whose death has cast a gloom over the entire community. A sorrowing and heart-broken husband aDd eight children are left to mourn her loss, who hare our sincere sympathy in their affliction. She died at her home in the Third district, but the remains will be brought to Newnan for inter ment this morning. Tbe funeral will occur at 10 o’clock. A Grateful Acknowledgment.

A tabic had been erected about midway between two immense poplars, whose interlacing boughs completely shut out the blazing rays of the sun, and this was soon laden with a variety of edibles that, for toothsomencss and wholesome- ncss, would have shamed the skill of Delmonico. There was enough to feast a multitude, and the infinite variety of culinary triumphs that graced the board would have puzzled the veriest epicure. A pleasing annex to the regular meal was a lavish ontlay of ice cream and cake, which had been held in reserve for the enjoyment of the pic-nickers until shortly before the hour of adjournment, and (to use the language of “Doc” Nor ris, who contrived somehow to worry down four or five plates with one hand while he fanned the flies off his fevered brow on top with the other,) “they most I assuredly partook.” Even Sim What- | ley, (who yields the palm to nothing ! that doesn’t originate in the White Oak region,) was obliged to admit that it was “a line, fat, fragrant occasion,” and this reluctant confession was accepted as a conspicuous compliment.
