Newnan, Ga., Friday, September 2d, 1887.
WEEKLY CIRCULATION, 1,750.
JAB. B. BROWN. Editor.
The Business Outlook for Newnan.
September is the opening month of
the fall and winter season, and what
ever business changes may be hr con
templation are usually made at that
time. These changes are the first tokens
of a revival of business in every depart
ment of trade, and are hailed as a glad
event by all. The outlook for New
nan, we are gratified to say, was never
more encouraging. Our merchants are
making preparations to supply the
heavy demand that will be made for
goods, of one character and another,
and we risk nothing in saying that they
are amply fortified against the blan
dishments of such competing towns as
may endeavor by artful means to de
coy to their own markets the trade that
legitimately belongs to Newnan. Ev
ery house In town has bought largely
for the fall and winter trade, and it is
doubtful if any two towns between At
lanta and Columbus can show as many
goods, or as complete and well-selected
stocks. Our merchants have tlie means;
they have the experience; they have
superior advantages in the matter of
freight facilities; they are clever, relia
ble and accommodating; they buy their
goods from first hands; they buy large
ly for cash; they are acquainted with
the trade, and the trade is acquainted
with them; they can for obvious rea
sons, and do by actual comparison,
sell goods cheaper than they can be
bought in Atlanta—fulsome represen
tations to the contrary notwithstand
ing. In fact, no town in Western
Georgia can offer such inducements, for
the reason that no other town in this
section enjoys equal facilities either for
selling or buying.
There are other advantages to be
considered, the most important of
which are the unexcelled. facilities en
joyed by our buyers for handling and
shipping cotton. This is a matter in
which every farmer is vitally interested,
because the price that he receives for
his cotton is necessarily regulated or
affected according to the ship
ping facilities enjoyed by his home
market. If these facilities be circum
scribed, the price of the staple is pro
portionately depreciated; if good, the
effect on the market is correspondingly
bouyant. In tins connection it affords
us pleasure to state that, while we have
not yet been able to secure a cotton
compress, by a special arrangement
with the Central Railroad authorities
we are allowed a rebate on all cotton
shipped from th'is point, which amounts
to a clear saving to the farmer of sixty-
five cents per bale. This is all that
could be saved even if we had a com
press in operation, and is a liberal con
cession on the part of the railroad com
pany. This sum is saved to the farmer
necessarily, because the buyer is thus
enabled to pay sixty-five cents per bale
more for the staple than if no rebate
were allowed. Moreover, our cotton
firms have special arrangements for
through shipment, by which factors’
commissions in Savannah and Atlanta
are saved;—consequently, our market
is not controlled either by Savannah or
Atlanta. This explains why Newnan
frequently pays as much for cotton as
Savannah, and often even more than At
lanta. Italso explains why Newnan can
afford to send buyers into other towns
and compete with Atlanta and Savan
nah buyers. If the conditions were
otherwise than as above stated, this
competition would not be possible.
Our merchants and business men are
t horoughly alert, both in point of en
terprise and equipment, and are reach
ing out farther and farther every year.
Bring your cotton and your trade to
Newnan. It will pay you.

The prohibition contest in Meriweth
er was brought to a focus last Monday,
when both parties met at the polls and
cast their votes “for” or “against” the
sale of liquor; but the result was some
what surprising in many respects. It
was especially disheartening to the pro
hibitionists. They had inaugurated
the campaign with every hope of suc
cess, and in the canvass which followed
were ably abetted by some of the most
zealous and influential temperance ad
vocates in the State, who went into the
county and made speeches, and exerted
other influences that it was hoped would
have a salutary effect in turning the
tide in favor of prohibition. But their
efforts were of no avail. The majority
against prohibition was even larger
than that polled three or four years
ago, when the question was first sub
mitted to the voters of that county.
The total vote cast was 2,850, of which
1,014 was for prohibition and 1,636
against prohibition. At Greenville the
vote stood 145 for, aud 913 against; at
Warm Springs, 68 for and 79 against.
Woodbury gave 11 majority against,
and Luthersville 50 majority for, prohi
bition. The negroes voted almost sol-
. idly against prohibition, and it is claim
ed that a large number voted illegally.
The election may be contested upon
tills ground, though it is doubtful if
enough illegal votes tan be thrown out
to change the result.

Death of Mrs. J. A. Royeton.
The announcement conveyed in the
above heading will be read with pro
found sorrow by the many friends of
the estimable lady whose sad and sud
den death is here recorded. She was j
friends. Medical aid was speedily sum
moned, but the most careful and faith
ful attention failed to arrest the dis
ease. She declined rapidly, and Tues
day afternoon at 4 o’clock breathed her
last. The funeral took place'the fol
lowing afternoon, from the Baptist
church.
Deceased was the only living daughter
of Mrs. J. J. Keith, and was 30 years of
age at the time of her death. She
leaves a husband and four* children,
whose loss is as irreparable as»it is sor
rowful. They have the deepest sym
pathies of the community.
▲ Delightful Occasion.
Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Brown, of the
Third district, threw open the doors of
their pleasant country home# to the
young people last night, the occasion
being a sociable and supper given in
honor of Miss Bessie Jackson, of La-
Grange, and Miss Kate Barnett. There
was a large gathering of young people
from the neighborhood, and quite a
number from town, who are unanimous
in testifying to the success and general
enjoyableness of the affair. The sup
per was a marvel of the culinary art,
and evoked numerous expressions of
commendation—especially from the
town delegation, who showed their ap
preciation by lingering as long as possi
ble at the festal board, and even then
turned away reluctantly.
Those who went out from the city
were Misses Ola Arnold, Lizzie Sims,
Berta Milton, Laura Daniel, and Messrs.
J. D. Berry, H. A. Hall, 5. L. Hill, W.
S. Dent, J. E. Dent, Jr., and Geo. Ra
mey.
Coweta Superior Court.
The September term of Coweta Su
perior Court convenes next Monday,
and both lawyers and Court officials
are in a state of consequent activity. A
large number of cases are upon the dock
ets and it was hoped that a full term of
two weeks would be . held; but in this
expectation the public will be disap
pointed. Judge Harris is yet feeble,
and however anxious he may to do so
it is not probable that he will be able to
hold longer than one week. With a
view to securing definite information
with reference to the length of term
that would likely be held, we ad
dressed a note to Judge Harris this
week, whose reply, given below, fully
explains itself:
“Carrollton, Ga., Sept. 1st.
"Hon. Jas. E. Brown. Neuman, Ga.—
Dear Sir: I reached home to-day, af
ter an absence of a week, and found
your letter of August 29th awaiting my
arrival. I am unable to say definitely
how long Court will be held, but do
not think it will be more than one
week, as I am not as yet able to do
much work. * * - * Your friertd,
“S. W. Harris.”
While still far from well, it will be
gratifying to Judge Harris’ many
friends to know that he is steadily im
proving, and with the approach of cool
weather a more decided improvement
is hoped for.
Jurors, witnesses and litigants must
be promptly on hand nex£ Monday. If
Court is held the second week due no
tice of the fact wjU be given in the
next issue of The-Herald and Ad

THEY SAY
A NEW BROOM SWEEPS CLEAN,
BUT SOMETIMES
AN OLD BROOM
DOES BETTER!
This is especially true of the mercantile bus
iness; because with age comes experience, and
it is an accepted truism that experience is the
best stock in trade a merchant can have, if
you desire a further illustration of this idea,
go to
W. P. BROOM’S
and observe his methods of doing business;
take an inventory of his stock and note the
infinite variety and superior quality of goods
kept; the small profits charged upon the
same, as demonstrated by comparison with
prices charged by other merchants, and the
iairness of his dealings generally. He keeps
everything that is needed in the Dry Good' or
Grocery line, and his stock is being constant
ly replenished, as the wants of the trade may
warrant. Give him a trial. You might go
farther and do worse, and probably would.
MR. JOHN ROLLINS is yet with him, and
will always be glad to serve his friends.
