L, Bower* a prominent and prosperous planter of Spalding county, visited Xewrian this week. He has a host oi relatives and friends here who are always glad to see-him. Xewnaw is ahead of all towns in the price paid for the “first bale,” so far as heard from. This cir cumstance is so natural, however, as to be scarcely worth mentioning. Mr. G. W. Ale Williams, of Luthers- vllle, gave us a pleasant call last Tues day. He says it is mighty hot in his neighborhood, politically and atmos pherically, and getting hotter every day. ' We are under obligations to Alessrs. E. B. Wilkinson of # the Sixth district, and B. H. Summers of the Second dis trict, for delicious fruit favors this week. Verily, such men are the salt of the earth. Airs. C. E. Summers, who has been for several weeks at the residence of her father, Rev. R. W. Hamrick, under the treatment ot Dr. T. J. Jones, is now convalescent and we are glad to know is in a fair way to recover. Mr. C. H. Hyde came up from Waynesboro last Saturday to see his family, but returned this week. He is getting all the work he can do there in the contracting and building line, and will not be at home for several months yeti We had a pleasant call yesterday from Mr. J. T. Nipper, of Henry county, He has made a business engagement with Messrs. Hunnicutt & Son, of Tu rin, for the coming year and will take up his residence in that town next month. At the annual reunion of the Heard County Sunday School Association last week, Hon. W. A. Turner and Col. A. D. Freeman were the chosen orators of the day, and, according to the testimony of the Franklin News, both made excel lent speeches. Mrs. J. H. Chandler, of Clanton, Ala., accompanied by her little daughter, Mattie Sue, and Gertrude, the little daughter of Air. and 1 Airs. John Chan dler, are visiting the families of Rev. R. W. Hamrick and Mr. A. H. Ham rick, in this city.' Alisses Russell, two charming little ladies of Bainbridge, Ga., arrived last night and have entered College Temple for the fall term. They are the daugh ters of Hon. D. A. Russell, a prominent lawyer of Bainbridge, and formerly State Senator from that district. to relatives and friends. Air. Walker was born in Xewnan and his success in the profession of his choice is a matter of common gratulation among his nu merous friends here. He is a nephew of Rev. R. W. Hamrick. Mr. John Anderson left last Friday for a tour of the mountain resorts in North Georgia, and has not yet return ed. Quite a flutter of excitement was created in bachelor circles this week by the report that he had gone off to get married, but the rumor is generally dis credited.

A. Pope. Mr. J. D. Ray has a brag patch of cot ton in which the rows are just ninety yards long, and he expects to get one bale for every twelve rows. He says i careful estimate has convinced him that a crop of cotton averaging five bolls to the stalk will yield a bale for every two acres. There will be a grand prohibition ral ly in Greenville to-morrow. Sam Small, Dr. Hawthorne and Dr. Hay- ood are expected to make speeches and an enthusiastic gathering is hoped for. The election occurs on Monday next, and from all accounts it will be a very close contest. Col. A. D. Freemnn has been invited to deliver a prohibition speech to-day at Luthersville. The campaign is wax ing warm in Aleriwether and the county is being thoroughly canvassed by both factions. Luthersville, true to her rep utation for good order and morality, is Overwhelmingly for prohibition. The fall term of Walker High School begins next Tuesday, and the prospects are flattering for an attendance even larger than that of last tenn. Prof. Wal ker and Airs. Nimmons are admirably qualified for the duties of their respec tive departments, and are no less popu lar than capable. They deserve to suc ceed. Prof. E. T. Whatley left last Wednes day for Cave Spring, Ga., to assume his new position as principal of the Hearn Institute at that place. Prof. W.’s se lection for this position is a compliment to his ability that is highly appreciated by his friends, and The Herald and Advertiser shares in the general felic itation. Some party unknown has borrowed from the Ordinary’s office one of the tax digests for 18S7, and its absence is causing Judge Persons considerable trouble. He says if the party who bor rowed it will return it instanter he will be held in grateful esteem, not only by the Judge himself, but by coming gen erations. Capt. T. W. Powel returned yester day from Hale Springs, Tenn., whither he went about a month ago to attend the annual reunion of the Powel family. Capt. P. always has an eye to business, though, even when “on pleasure bent,” and while away picked up a few points that will be of advantage to the cotton trade of Newnan. Mt. Zion camp-meeting commences to-night. This popular religious resort is situated twelve miles east of Senoia, and about two miles south of Vaughn’s Station, on the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad. It is the most, attractive camp-ground in the State, and its tentholders the cleverest and most f^ospitaWei Q. L. Walker, Bsq., (of the popular lav Arm of Walker & Reese, CarrOlL ttm%) mfe in town thife wfeek on a visit}bending The exercises of Xewnan Alale Semi nary will be resumed on Alonday next. The school will be under the supervis ion of Prof. A. S. Jones, whose efficien cy as an instructor is well known and appreciated throughout this section, and we have no doubt he will be greeted by a full attendance at the opening of the institute on Monday next. On the first Tuesday in October next Airs. Mary AI. Harris will sell at public i outcry before the Court-house door in Xewnan, (if not previously disposed of at private sale,) a valuable lot of land in Turin district. A good two-liorse farm is now in cultivation on the place and the property is most desirably situ ated in every way. §ee notice. Mr. J. L. Avery and family, of Alari- anna, Fla., arrived in Xewnan last Sat urday and we are gratified to know will make this their home in future. Air. Avery is the father of our enterprising fellow-townsman, Mr. IF. E. Avery, and will be associated with his son here after in the jewelry business. He is an experienced jeweler and clever gentle man, whose acquisition to the commu nity is most desirable in all respects. Joe White, the negro -who committed a murder in Palmetto five or six weeks ago, was arrested in Chattanooga last Wednesday and brought back to Geor gia. The fugitive was apprehended by Dr. H. L. Johnston, of Palmetto, who had been on his track for several days before his arrest was finally effected. A reward of $100 was offered by the Governor for White’s arrest, and this will of course be claimed by Dr. John ston. On Monday ne^ College Temple will enter upon its thirty-sixth scholas tic year and we are gratified to know that the outlook for a successful term was never more encouraging. The same able faculty which has been in charge of the institution for two or three years past will continue to man age the affairs of the school. This is a sufficient guarantee that the several departments will be competently and satisfactorily administered, and in sures the continued prosperity of New- nan’s most popular institution. Palmetto High School. The fall term of Palmetto High School is announced to begin on Wed nesday, September 7th, and Prof. Pen- dergrast is making extensive prepara tions for the event. The almost phe- nominal success of the school last term has induced Prof. P. to increase his fa cilities in every department. During the coming session Prof. T. H. Mea- cham, of St. Marks, Ga., will assist in the academic department, while the accomplished Mrs. Wyley will have charge of the uiusic department. The school is in a most prosperous condition and Prof. Pendergrast is determined to keep it up to the highest standard, both in point of efficiency and thoroughness of instruction—in which he will be warmly aided and encouraged by the citizens of Palmetto and community. See notice. Newnan’s First Bale. Newnan’s first bale of cotton of the new crop was received yesterday morn ing and was a most welcome sight. It was raised by Air. Oliver H. Waltom, one of our most enterprising young far mers, who said he might have gotten it into market the day before with a little effort. It weighed 481 pounds, classed strict! low middling, and was bid off by Capt. H. J. Sargent at 10 cents. About 4 o’clock in the afternoon an other bale was brought in, and the town began to get excited. This was raised by Air. Starling Carpenter, one of Coweta’s best and thriftiest young farmers, and weighed 521 pounds. It was bid off at the same price paid for the first bale, Capt. Sargent being the purchaser. Both bales were weighed by Air. John F. Lester, the popular scalesman at Arnold, Burdett & Co.’s warehouse, where they are now stored awaiting shipment. The young farmers appeaT to be ahead this year, and it is a mighty good sign. They deserve the fullest credit for their industry and enterprise. ance and fell headlong into the hole, and owing to the contracted space was unable to extricate itself. The other ran to its mother and gave the alarm, who lost no time in going to the rescue. When drawn from the hole the little fellow was apparently lifeless and a messenger was hurriedly dispatched for Dr. C. D. Smith. A vigorous chaf ing of its anns and legs soon had the effect of restoring the child to con sciousness, however, and when Dr. Smith arrived it had about recovered. It was a narrow escape. W. R. Foote conducting the sendees, after which the remains were laid to rest in our city cemetery. His Fourth Birthday. Master Robbie Bostrom, of Nash ville, Tenn., who with liis mother has been spending the summer in Xewnan, celebrated his fourth birthday yester day, and the occasion was improved in a social way that furnished pleasure and delight to a number of his little friends. The event in question was birthday party, which took place from 4 to 6 p. m., at the Commercial Hotel, under the maternal auspices of Airs. Bostrom and his grandmothers, Mrs. Barnes and Airs. Jones. About twen ty children were present, varying in age from 3 to 6 years, who seemed to enjoy themselves amazingly, not only in the yard, with games and various juvenile amusements, but in the din ing-room, where a sumptuous repast was spread for their enjoyment. The rooms and tables were most tastefully decorated, and presented an appear ance calculated to impress a much more critical company. In violation of the. social decorum that usually obtains on such occasions, when the hour came for the guests to arrive the little host was not at his post of duty and could not be found. After diligent search by his anxious mother he was finally discovered two or three squares away, riding a stick horse and playing in the sand with cheerful abandon that recked neither of social customs or consequences. We wish the litfle fellow many joy ous returns of the occasion. ▲ Narrow Escape from Drowning. Air. J. R. Gaston, who resides in the eastern portion of the city, has two children, aged five and two years, re spectively. Last Tuesday they were playing, in the cow-lot near the house, when the smaller of the two had a nar row escape from drowning, under the following- singular circumstances: There ww a small excavation in the lot, about eighteen inches in diam eter and two or three feet deep, caused by removing a large post that formerly did duty as a gate-post. During the heavy rain Tuesday rooming the hole filled with water and was in this condi tion when the children went into the lot to pley. A* the' smaller child was the water it lost *• bal Their Fall Announcement. It is scarcely necessary to call atten tion to the advertisement of Alessrs. Arnall & Farmer, which appears in this issue of The Herald and Ad vertiser. It is so large and so at tractive that even he who runs may read, and, reading, find something that will undoubtedly interest and instruct. They have bought heavily for the fall trade and are prepared to offer induce ments in the dry goods and grocery line that cannot fail to attract the at tention of the trading public. Their stock of fall and winter clothing alone invoices over $4,000, and comprises per haps the largest and most complete as sortment carried by any house in town. They have suits varying in quality and price from $5 to $30, and all of the latest and most fashionable style. They have also one hundred boxes of tobac co, bought before the late advance, which they are willing to sell at prices that were considered low even before the rise. They received this week one car-load of bagging and ties, and have more on the way. Their stock of boots and shoes is unusually large, to make room for which they are now offering remnants of their old stock at half price, and less. In fact, they intend to displace all old goods with new, and to accomplish this have marked down ev erything. This is no catchpenny an nouncement, made for the purpose of demoralizing their competitors. They mean business, and stand ready to re deem any pledge made through these columns, or elsewhere. Read then- ad vertisement, and then go to see them. They can do you good. Deaths. We are pained to record the death of Earnest Barton Scroggin, the % 14-year- old son of Air. and Mrs. J. I. Scroggin, which occurred in this city on Sunday morning last. He had been sick about forty days, being first attacked with bilious fever, which eventually devel oped into a typhoid form. Earnest was a particularly bright and interesting boy, of well-known religious convictions, and most commendable zeal in the Sabbath-school work. In fact, every phase of his character gave unmistakable evidence of true manli ness and Christian excellence. His playmates loved him, while his older friends regarded him with sincere ad miration. He has gone to his reward, and while we sympathize with his stricken family we can but feel that “it is well with the child.” The funeral took place from the AI. E. Church the following morning at 9 o’clock, Rev. W. R. Foote conducting the services. About two months ago Mrs. I. R. Peacock, of Quitman, Ga., came here to visit her father, Col. J. J. Neely. She was in very feeble health at the time and it was hoped that the change would prove beneficial; but in this ex pectation her family and friends were disappointed. She grew worse, and though everything was done for her re lief that medical skill could suggest, she sank steadily until Wednesday morn ing at 9 o’clock, when she breathed her last. Deceased was the only daughter of Col. J. J. Neely, of this city, and in all the relations of life—as wife, mother, daughter, friend—she was a most esti mable and admirable lady. She leaves a husband and four chil dren, who have the sympathies of the entire community in their affliction. The funeral took place yesterday morning from the M. E» Church, Be* A Happy Occasion, Most Happily De scribed. Last Wednesday, at his pleasant coun try home six miles east of town, Mr. W. B. Orr gave an old-fashioned barbecue, and the affair has been the talk of the town ever since. Quite a number went out from Xewnan, and others are even now chewing the cud of disappoint ment because they couldn’t go. Among the latter class is the editor of this pa per, who was only prevented from go ing by a press of business duties that could not be laid aside;—but, with our accustomed enterprise, we contrived to have a special reporter on the ground, whose admirable account of the affair will be found below: “Mr. W. B. Orr gave one of his char acteristic barbecues last Wednesday. In a grove of large white oaks, afford ing a shade almost impenetrable to the rays of the sun, the long tables were spread. Quite a number of neighbors and friends were present, but ample preparation had been made for all. Xewnan was well represented, and se lected as her champion at the table Col. P. H. Brewster. Bro. A. W* Stokes, of the Sixth, was entered against him by the home contingent. For more than an hour the-doubtful contest waged with unwavering vigor, till finally each recognizing in the other ‘a foeman worthy of his steel,’ agreed to draw the battle and desist. While the capacity of all was not so great as that of the champions afore said, yet they enjoyed as fully the faultlessly prepared barbecue. Besides the meats and other substantial there were watermelons in abundance, and as fine as the county can produce. In fact, the occasion was highly enjoyed by every one present. Air. Orr had left undone nothing that was necessary to its success. I know I represent all present, nor is it an evanescent, post prandial wish, when I say I hope prov idence will bestow upon the host and his estimable lady like happiness to that which they have afforded others, ‘in good measure, packed and running over.”’ A Good Investment—300 to Quitman, Ga., May 16th, 188<.

Mr. Editor:—Last Saturday was a pleasant occasion to the people in the neighborhood of John K. Smith’s, in Campbell county. Alessrs. George and Olin Longino, A. B. Leigh, Astin, Barnes, King, Watkins, together with their families, and many 7 others whom space forbids mentioning, gathered in the beautiful grove in front of the Smith residence, to celebrate a summer holiday and enjoy a barbecue which consisted of as nice pork, mutton and kid, to the number ot twelve carcasses, as one ever partook of, and such bread, pickles, salad and cake as the ladies oi the aforementioned families know how to make; and, thanks to the kindness of “Miss Vonie,” coffee was served to ev ery one who would indulge. Quite a number were present from Fairburn and Palmetto, and Coweta was well represented. Pleasant recreation was afforded, in conversation, croquet, and music for the grown people, and swing ing for the wee ones. The good people of this locality ex pect to perpetuate their barbecue as an annual holiday, and laying aside the cares and duties of every day life, they will have a reunion of relatives anil friends and thus keep up the socialties that make half the pleasures of exist ence. Can I close without a reference to the young ladies? No, no. There were some as pretty and accomplished as can be found in the State, and it was plain to a dull observer that the young men present will look back to the day as one of perfect enjoyment. August 22d. A Partcipant. Senoia. Mr. Editor:—Fodder-pulling in this section is well under way, and with a few more days of sunshine will be sav ed in fine condition—though some showers would be an advantage to oth er crops. We regret to learn that there is much sickness prevailing along Flint river and other large streams in the vicinity, and that it is of a very severe type. Vic tims are taken generally with a sore ness throughout the whole system, ac companied with a liigli fever, and oc casionally producing derangement of the mind, followed by profuse perspi ration. These symptoms are apparent for some days, when, with proper at- tion, they begin to recuperate. In many families all are sick. I have heard of no fatal cases so far. The new machinery of the Senoia Fertilizer and Manufacturing Company was put in motion yesterday and work ed beautifully. In a day* or so the company will be ready for the new cot ton crop. Alessrs. Hand & Lindsay’s new brick building is now ready for the roof. The tin is here and the contractor is waiting for the tinners. The building, when completed, will add very much to the business appearance of our town. Capt. Jas. Graham has returned from his trip to Southwest Georgia. He also -visited the upper portion of Flor ida. He is not overly pleased with the business outlook in the sections visited and has decided to remain in Senoia a while longer. He has rented the store house now occupied by Hand & Lind- sav, and with his son-in-law, Air. Jason Addy, will engage in the mercantile business. They will begin as soon as the store is vacated, which will be in a month or so. Very nice additions are being made to Excelsior Academy, for the accom modation of the large patronage ex pected during the fall term. The term begins the first Monday in September. We hope to see a flourishing school. Under the present arrangement the terms have been greatly reduced, which fact should be ar strong inducement to patronage.
