®ft< Herald and ^dcertisee. 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. She Will Continue to “Take Sugar in Her’n.” 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 vertiser. leir respective Hen* dbrertisements. 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. A Large Quantity of Bough Lumber, at 75c. per hundred. Orders ieft at the store will receive prompt attention. JERSEY BULLS! I will sell cheap or trade for beef cattle 6 or 8 fine Jersey Bull Calves, from registered stock. Call on undersigned or Maj. W.
