Mr. E. S. Buchanan left yesterday
for New York, whither he goes to lay
in a select stock of dry goods for the
fall and winter trade. It is his purpos
to abandon family groceries after the
1st of September and confine himself
strictly to fine dry goods. He proposes
to keep only the best grades and quali
ties, including silks, satins, fine dress
goods, trimmings of all kinds, and a
countless variety of articles not usually
sold outside of the larger cities. It is a
novel venture for Newnan, but Mr.
Buchanan is confident such an estab
lishment is needed here and that it will
pay. He will be absent about two
weeks.
The Foster Car-Coupler.
A successful test of the Foster car
coupler attachment was made in the
Gulf yards yesterday afternoon in the
presence of a large number of railroad
men and capitalists. The coupler was
attached to the draw-bars of two ordi
nary box cars and the couplings were
made at different rates of speed with
out any danger whatever to the person
in charge of the operation. The exhi
bition was made by Mr. James H. Shel-
nutt, of Newnan, Ga., and Dr. Frank
C. Hamilton, of this city, who are own
ers of the patent. The switchmen and
other railroad men who saw the tests
were well pleased.—Kansas City Times,

Neat and Correct.
Last week Tax Receiver Fanner for
warded to Comptroller-General Wright
the tan dijest for 1S87, and by an early
mail received the following complimen
tary acknowledgment:
“Your digest for 1SS7 has been receiv
ed, and upon examination I find it
very satisfactory. Its neatness, correct
ness and handsome increase in the re
turns speak well for your energy and
efficiency.”
This praise is well merited. A more
worthy or capable official Coweta has
never had.
By the way, in footing up the aggre
gates of tax returns recapitulated in
our issue of the 5th inst. an error oc
curred that makes considerable differ
ence in the total increase over the re
turns for 1SS6. The aggregate value of
whole property should have been $3,-
,673,936, instead of $3,663,222, as stated.
Barbecues.
For fifteen years the good people in
the vicinity of Smith’s mill, Cedar
Creek district, have been accustomed
to meeting annually at some conven
ient point for the purpose of enjoying
a barbecue. The custom has never
been deviated from, and has become so
popular that it is likely to be perpetu
ated. The annual barbecue took place
last Saturday at Smith’s mill, and we
hjive it upon the authority of competent
witnesses that it exceeded in fun, frolic
and fatness any occasion ever enjoyed
in that locality. Thirty-seven carcasses
were barbecued, and there was an
abundance of eatables of every charac
ter. It was a most delightful occasion
in every respect. Several of our citizens
attended.
On Friday last Mr. J. U. Dent, Sr.,
gave a barbecue at his plantation in the
Third district for the benefit of his ten
ants, though quite a number of friends
from town and the neighborhood were
invited to be present. This is also an
annual occasion, and is tendered by Mr.
Dent as a mark of appreciation of the
faithful services and diligecne of his
farm employes. It was greatly enjoyed
by every one present, and the tenants
were profuse in their expressions of
gratitude for the generous treat af
forded them.
A barbecue was enjoyed at Dr. Cal
houn’s place in the Third district on
Saturday, which is reported to have
been a very pleasant affair. The fat of
the land was there, and in the greatest
profusion.
It affords us pleasure to note these
gatherings. Socially, it is an indication
of good fellowship and contentment
among the people, and evidences a con
dition of prosperity equally gratifying in
every respect. The barbecue and good
fcrops go together.
Musicale.
Dr. and Mrs. T. B. Davis entertained
a number of their young friends at a
musicale last Friday evening, and those
who were so fortunate as to be present
speak of it as a most delightful affair.
Some of the best musical and vocal tal
ent in the city contributed to the occa
sion, the fine baritone of Col. R. W.
Freeman being conspicuous for its tune
ful elasticity and mellowness. Ele
gant refreshments were served at the
proper hour, and what had been a feast
of music and a flow of soul was sudden
ly, transformed to a more substantial
feast of cake, ice cream, etc., which
furnished enjoyment but little less de
lightful than had resulted from a'former
mingling of the muses. Dr. and Mrs.
Davis aos entitled to the thanks of
their young friends for so' pleasant an
entertainment, who are looking for
ward to an early repetition of the af
fair.

Death of Maj. T. A. Grace.
No event that has occurred in New
nan for years could have been more
deeply and sincerely deplored than the
death of Maj. T. A. Grace, which took
place at his residence in this city last
Monday night. He had been in failing
health for some time, but until the last
two weeks of his illness was able to sit
up and walk about the house. He grew
rapidly worse a few days ago, however,
and his final dissolution was not unex
pected to ’his family and immediate
friends.
Deceased was born in Hancock coun
ty, Ga., November 2, 1810, and had he
lived until next November would have
been 77 years of age. He moved to
Newnan when quite a young man and
engaged in the mercantile business
here in 1S30. By his liberality, public
spirit and devotion to the interests of
the town he won the esteem and con
fidence of all who knew him, and oc
cupied several positions of public trust
at different periods of his life. Several
years prior to the war he was Major-
General of Militia for this division
Subsequently he was elected to the
presidency of the Savannah, Griffin and
North Alabama Railroad, and he filled
other positions of honor from time to
time. In politics he was ever a warm
partisan and wielded a potential influ
ence in local contests.
In 1849 he was married to Miss Susan
Garlington, whose family had a few
years before moved to this State from
South Carolina; but after two years of
wedded happiness he lost his wife,
Subsequently he married Miss Herring,
of LaGrange, who, together with one
son by his first marriage, survives him
He was a zealous member of the Ma
sonic fraternity and. held various posi
tions of honor in that order. Indeed,
it was largely due to his liberality and
personal efforts that the first Masonic
hall was erected in Newnan, he having
furnished the greater portion, if not all,
the means with which to build and
furnish it. He was equally enterpris
ing in advancing other interests of the
town, and a leading spirit in nearly ev
ery public undertaking.
In January, 1882, he moved to Boif-
hain, Texas, where he engaged in busi
ness; but was never satisfied with the
change, and frequently, expressed a de
termination to return to his old home.
That this purpose was uppermost in his
mind at all times is evidenced by the
fact that shortly after his arrival in
Texas he deposited a sum of money in
bank sufficient to defray the expense of
transporting his remains to Newnan

THREE MEN KILLED!
While Attempting'to Cross the Track
of the Atlanta and West Point Rail
road—A Horrible Accident.
Shortly after the southbound Colum
bus express passed Newnan yesterday
morning a wild rumor reached town to
the effect that three men had been
killed at Hill’s crossing, two miles this
side of Puckett Station. The rumor
was soon verified, and desiring to ob
tain as full and accurate an account of
the tragic occurrence as possible The
Herald and Advertiser despatched
a reporter to the scene of disaster, with
instructions to get all the information
obtainable. The result of his mission
is contained in the following graphic
recital:
Last Tuesday, Green George and Ear
nest Caldwell, of Pike county, and Rev.
Daniel Isreal, of Meriwether, (all col
ored,) came to Newnan to attend the
\. M. E. District Conference, which
convened here on Sunday last. Con
ference adjourned Wednesday night,
and yesterday morning the party set
out on their return home. They trav
eled in a wagon drawn by two mules,
and were accompanied on the return
trip by Rev. Wm. Upshaw, a colored
preacher of Atlanta, who availed him
self of this opportunity to reach an ap
pointment in Meriwether county. The
party left town in good spirits and
were proceeding leisurely on their way,
not expecting to reach their destination
before afternoon. As they approached
Hill’s crossing, about two miles this side
of Puckett Station, the express train
hove in sight a few hundred yards off;
but, singularly enough, none of the
party observed the approaching train.
By this time they were within thirty
feet of the crossing. The team sudden
ly caught sight of the train and made a
break as if to run. Simultaneously,
Upshaw cast his eyes in the direction
of the railroad to see what had fright
ened the team and was horrified to dis
cover that the train was almost upon
them. Realizing his perilous situation he
sprang from his seat, and with a shout
of warning to his companions jumped
to the ground. By the time he could
recover himself the engine and wagon
had collided and the occupants were
hurled into eternity. The bodies were
thrown sixty feet, falling on the left
side of the track. Caldwell and George
were killed instantly, and never spoke.
Israel lingered about an hour, but did
not regain consciousness. The wagon
was utterly demolished, the debris be
ing strewn from the crossing to a point
beyond the signal post, over four hun
dred yards. The train was running at a
high rate of speed, the momentum be
ing so great that it ran fully four hun
dred yards before it could be brought
to a standstill. One of the mules was
fatally injured; the other escaped un
hurt.
A large crowd soon gathered and
Coroner Duncan was despatched for.
Upon his arrival, however, it was deem
ed unnecessary to hold an inquest and
no jury was impanneled. Mr. Sam
Hill, the railroad agent at Grantville,
chanced to be on the train, who disem
barked when the accident occurred and
assumed charge of affairs. When the
northbound day passenger came along
at 11:40 A. 31., the bodies of the un
fortunate men were placed on board
and brought to Newnan. Pending in
structions from General Manager Gab-
bett, they were laid out in the colored
waiting-room at the depot. Mr. Gab-
bett ordered the bodies prepared for in
terment at the expense of the railroad.
Three - suits of new clothing and three
nice coffins were provided, the coffins
being furnished by Thompson Bros.,
the undertakers. The company also
provided teams with which to convey
the remains to the late homes of the
dead men, respectively. They were
then turned over to a committee ap
pointed by the A. M. E. Church, who
started on their mournful errand about
8 o'clock last night. The distance is
about thirty miles. The families of the
deceased reside some distance from the
nearest telegraph station and could
not be communicated with. They will
be first apprised of the accident this
morning when the mangled remains
are laid at their several doors.
Green George was 50 years of age and
resided near Sasserville, Pike county.
Earnest Caldwell was 27 years old and
lived in the same neighborhood. Rev.
Daniel Israel was 53 years of age and
resided near Warnerville, Meriwether
county. All were married and leave
families. The team belonged to Green
George.
The bodies were fearfully mangled.
The. injuries'inflicted, so far as oould
bo ascertained, wen as follows:
Though horribly mangled, litme of
the bodies were dismembered.
The train was in charge of Conductor
Woodall. Engineer Wisenbury pulled
the throttle. The pilot of the engine
was broken, but no other damage was
sustained. The accident occurred op
posite the forty-third mile-post, just
half way between Atlanta and IN est
Point. .
A number of theories have been ad
vanced ,r oing to show how the accident
occurred. Upshaw, the sole survivor,
stated to The Herald and Adver
tiser that his attention was first at
tracted to the approaching train
by the antics of the team, which
became frightened. That no whistle
of warning was sounded by the locomo
tive, and he was not aware of the prox
imity of the train until his notice was
directed towards the railroad in the
manner stated above. It was suggested
that the rumbling of the wagon and the
confusion of voices in talking might ha\ e
prevented the party from hearing the
train, even if a whistle had been blown.
Upshaw replied that the road was
smooth and level at the point indicated
and the wagon made very little noise;
thought if a whistle had been blown
they would have heard it. The public
road runs almost, parallel with the rail
road at this point, and in order to see
the train it was necessary to turn
around. As soon as Upshaw caught
sight of the train he jumped to the
ground anil shouted to his companions
to jump. The wagon was then about
thirty feet from the crossing. It is
presumed that the unfortunate men
were so paralyzed by fear that they did
not have presence of mind to jump ami
save themselves as Upshaw had done.
That they should have known a train
was about due seems to be warranted by
Upshaw’s statements, who says that a
few moments before the accident he
remarked to his companions that it
was about time for the “cannon ball”
to come along, and admonished them
be on the lookout. Upshaw claims to
have been hurt by jumping from the
wagon.
Mr. Sam Hill, of Grantville, was on
the train and is positive that the usual
signal was blown before the crossing
was reached. It is understood that a
passenger who left the train at La
Grange corroborates Mr. Hill’s state
ment. Mr. R. I). Cole, Sr., of this city,
was also on the train, but did not hear
the signal. Other witnesses agree with
Mr. Cole. The statement of Engineer
Wisenbury has not yet been obtained.
It seems to be a matter of some diffi
culty, therefore, to establish this point
satisfactorily; and as the defense of the
railroad company will mainly rest upon
its ability to prove due diligence on the
part of its employees, the importance
of settling the point referred to cannot
be estimated too highly. It is not yet
known whether the case will get into
the Courts.
It was a frightful accident, the like
of which has never before occurred in the
county, and there is considerable ex
citement among the colored people.
