We present in another column, from a favorite correspondent, an admirable sketch of the State convict system as operated by the Chattahoochee Brick Company, together with a full descrip tion of this immense industry. The Company’s superintendent is Mr. H. P. Woodroof, formerly of this city, and we do not need to be assured that the success of the enterprise is largely due to his excellent management. Methodist District Meeting. The District Meeting at Hogansville last Saturday and Sunday attracted quite a number of our Methodist friends though the attendance from Xewnan was not near so large as it would have been had the weather i>enuitted. Messrs. J. T. Carpenter, G. R. Black and B. T. Thompson were the delegates from Newnan. The Ladies’ Foreign Missionary Society was represented by Mrs. Judge Bigby and Mrs. W. R. Eoote. Returned. Messrs. Burt Hill and Milton Glover, who have been taking a business course in Coleman’s Commercial College, Newark, X. J., for several months past, returned home yesterday. It will be gratifying to their friends to know that they took a high stand in their several classes and graduated with distinction. Both are estimable young gentlemen, and well equipped for the business du ties that may be required of them in al most any capacity. ■Mammoth Vegetable. Mr. John Duke, of Panther Creek district, is not only a good farmer, but finds time to cultivate a garden also, and takes great pride in the unusual size and perfection of the vegetables that he raises, lie brought in a cabbage last Tuesday that is entitled to the premium as the mammoth vegetable production of the season. It weighed Si pounds, and there wasn’t a superfluous leaf on it. He has some.at home, not yet head ed, that will measure seven feet from stem to stem. Liberal Cotton Premiums. At the approaching exposition of the Piedmont Fair Association Messrs. Maddox, Rucker & Co., bankers and cotton factors of Atlanta, will offer as premiums for the best bale of upland cotton $240 in gold, apportioned as fol lows: For the best, $100; second best, $80; third best, $60—the bales not to weigh less than 450 pounds, and to be exhibited in the name of the producer. Here is a chance for some Coweta coun ty fanner to make a little pocket change while at the Exposition. (1861.) REPORT OF THE CONDITION —OF— THE FIRST RATIONAL BANK At Newnan, in the State of Georgia, at the close oi bus iness, Angust i, 1887. LIABILITIES. Misses Zana and Helene Sturdevant left last Tuesday for a month’s stay at Warm Springs, Meriwether county. They will go thence to their home in Dadeville, Ala., for the remainder of the season. During Miss Zana’s absence the Southern Telegraph office will be closed. Dr. H. M. Smith has been tendered the position of assistant to the Peni tentiary Physician at the convict camp of the Chattahoochee Brick Company, near Atlanta. The position is a very desirable one in some respects, but Dr. S. is undecided yet whether he will ac cept or not. At a meeting of the City Council last Monday night Messrs. Willcox- on & Wright were elected city attor neys. This is one of our most enter prising legal firms, and their selection for the position indicated is a recogni tion of fitness and ability that we take pleasure in noting. Mr. S. P. Lumpkin brought in the first open cotton boll yesterday, and it was regarded as a genuine curiosity. His crop is rather forward, and from the in dications he thinks it will mature and open rapidly from now on. He has forty acres in cotton, the only fertilizer used being that prepared at home ac cording to a formula of his own. * High jumped from $$0,950.82 to $93,403.10. The deposit fund of both banks is grat- ifyingly large, the season of the year considered—that of the Xewnan Na tional having appreciably increased during the period mentioned, while the First National is sturdily holding its own. The reports appear elsewhere in this paper. General Meeting. Owing to the inclement weather and bad condition of the mads, only a few of our Baptist townspeople attended the general meeting at Ebenezer on Sat urday and Sunday last. The introduc tory sermon was preached by A. D. Freeman, and is spoken of as an ad mirable discourse. The only ministers in attendance were Rev. Y. A. Ham and Rev. II. S. Rees. The next gener al meeting will be held with Bethlehem church, four miles south of town, the time of meeting to be hereafter an nounced. Dr. J. II. Ilall was selected to preach the introductory sermon, with Rev. Y. A. Ham as alternate. The Southern Female College. Prof. Clias. C. Cox and Miss Sallie C. Cox, of LaGrange, are in the city in the interest of the Southern Female Col lege. This famous institution is a cred it to the whole South, and has never been on a better footing than now. It is making a new departure is raising the standard of female education. Its fac ulty of seventeen are specialists from some of the leading institutions of this country and abroad. The appliances of the College are considered the most valuable anti complete of any female college in the State. A fine library and reading room are interesting and useful adjuncts to the college equipment. The music department has loug been noted for its efficiency. We cannot commend this institution too cordially to those of our citizens who contemplate sending their daughters off to school. RESOURCES.

The “Cannon Ball.” The “cannon ball” that passes La- Grange twice a day is probably the fastest train in the South. It makes the run from Atlanta to Columbus- 139 miles—in three hours and fifty-five minutes, including stops. Its average speed must be a mile in about one min ute and ten seconds. The thought of this quite takes away the breath. The “boys” say a man stood on the steps of the train at our depot to kiss Ms wife goodbye, but, instead, smacked a pair of lips in Hogansville.—LaGrange Be- jjorter, • The S., G. & N. A. Extension. Major U. B- Wilkinson received an other letter this week conveying infor mation of the progress of the surveying corps now engaged in running a line from Carrollton to Decatur, Ala. The line was completed to Gadsden last week, where connection was made with a line surveyed two years ago. The party then turned back about twenty miles to a point east of Jacksonville and are now running a line via Cross Plains to Gadsden. Decatur is 90 miles beyond Gadsden, and the whole distance from Carrollton to Decatur is about ISO miles. The Bain Storm. Numerous reports have been received from different portions of the county concerning the freshet last week, and all are of a discouraging character. In a majority of instances bottom land crops were totally ruined, while crops of all kinds were damaged to a greater or less extent. Fifty thousand dollars will hardly cover the loss sustained in Coweta county. Capt. Pope Jones’ fine river plantation was almost ruined, and others in the vicinity are heavy losers also. Capt. Jones estimates his loss at $2,500, and is doubtful if this amount will cover it. The fall session of Walker School will begin on Monday, August 30th. In addition to other advantages offered by this school that of normal in- j evidently built its nest in the cabbage ▲ Singular Freak. Mr. J. B. Davis, of the Third district, reports a singular circumstance. His wife gathered a fine cabbage out of her garden one day last week, and upon slicing it preparatory to cooking found snugly embedded in the heart of the vegetable a bird’s egg. Some bird had Ordinary’s Court. The following business was transacted in the Ordinary’s Court last Monday: Letters of administration granted J. B. Hunnicutt on the estate of Emily J. Hunnieutt. Letters of administration granted Daniel Swint, County Adnlinistrator, on the estate of Nancy E. H. Brown; also, on estate of Regina W. Brandenburg; also, on estate of Christopher Robinson. Arthur Hutcheson, administrator on the estate of B. G. Barker, granted let ters of dismission. Jacob Starr, J. W. Sewell and John Avery, executors on the estate of J. E. Gurley, granted letters of dismission. Return of appraisers appointed to appraise and agree upon division of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad stock belonging to estate of W. P. Arnold made the judgment of the Court. The Governor Kissed His Girl. Mr. P-t-r M-rp-y went on a jaunt to Salt Springs a few days ago, and while a guest at the Sweetwater Park Hotel a reception was tendered Governor Gordon. Among other engaging fea tures of the levee, and one that inter ested him very much, was the shame less oscillatory liberties that the Gov ernor took with the young ladies pres ent. He kissed every one that came in his way, and out of a possible seventy- five P-t-r is certain that not more than half a dozen escaped. While talking to Ms best girl, in that earnest, ingenuous manner which he knows so well how to assume at a summer resort, the Governor came forward and imprinted a resounding smack upon the rosy lips of the fair Amelia. The impudence of the act, and the tantalizing serenity with which his charmer emerged from the ordeal, was more than P-t-r could stand. He fainted. Anxious friends gathered around and finally succeeded in restoring him to consciousness, though he is yet feeble from the effects of his. prostration. P-t-r says he was a stalwart Gordon man in the last campaign, and gave him a vote when votes w r ere scarce; but he hereby warns the Governor that if he ever trifles with his feelings in like manner again he will lose a valuable constituent.

The barbecue and pic-nic at Elder’s mill on the 22d ult., mention of which should have been made in our last issue, was one of the pleasantest gatherings the writer ever attended, either here or elsewhere' There was no speech-mak ing, and none of the formalities of a set occasion. It was simply a coming to gether of the good people ot the neigh borhood for a day of quiet enjoyment, and those who have had the privilege of mingling with the citizens of this community in a social capacity will need no assurance that the affair- in question was an eminent success. Several car casses were barbecued, the supervision of which was entrusted to Mr. 'Will Harris, and more thoroughly cooked or deliciously seasoned meats never turned upon a spit or graced a board. In addi tion to the barbecue, the ladies pro vided an ample collation from sundry hampers concealed here and there about the grounds, the whole comprising a feast tit for the gods. The table was spread in the beautiful grove in front of Mr. AV". H. Elder’s residence, a short distance from the mill, and around it were soon congregated Mrs. R. B. Per kins, Mrs. A. C. Russell, Mrs. J. D. Hunter, Mrs. Powell, Mrs. Summers, Mrs. Haines, Mrs. Baughn, Mrs. Per sons, Mrs. Peek, Mrs. L. J. Carmical, Mrs. J. P. Russell, Misses Lucy Haines, Willie Elder, Mary Lou Perkins, Julia Harris, Tommie Hunter, Emma Hun ter, Annie Perkins, Fannie Perkins, Myrtie Harris, Nettie Russell and Idalia Powell, who lost no time in decorating it from the generous store of eatables contained in a dozen or more baskets, and then patiently at tended to the wants of the hungry crowd “until all had eaten and were filled.” The writer was specially fa vored m this respect, and hereby ac knowledges his obligations for the nu merous courtesies shown him. Indeed, no one was neglected, for the ladies were unremitting in their attentions from first to last. Dinner over, the young people strayed off toward the mill and occupied the remainder of the afternoon in talking, boating, and such other meaus of inno cent diversion as inclination suggested. The Senoia Fertilizer and Manufactur ing Company. Our sister town, Senoia, failed to get her railroad, but she has an enterprise now on foot that will be of infinitely more benefit to the community than the Atlanta and Hawkinsville Railroad would have been. Some of her public- spirited citizens have organized a joint stock company for the purpose of es tablishing a guano factory, cotton gin nery and general variety works, the corporation to be known as ‘The Se noia Fertilizer and Manufacturing Company.” The capital stock is fixed at $25,000, with the privilege of increas ing the same to $100,000.
