Mr. H. W. Dews says it may not be generally known that bull-bats are in structive to cotton, but it is neverthe less true. He says a field of cotton in his neighborhood, belonging to Mr. Joe Dent, was completely devastated by bats three or four years ago. Mr. Milton Glover has secured a po sition with J. M.

This is a most desirable situation, and we are gratified to know tliat our young friend has been so fortunate as to secure it. The Pearl Spring Park dam will be completed to-morrow and as soon as a sufficient body of water is collected the directors will commence stocking the pond with fish. Fifteen thousand carp and cat have been engaged already, and other varieties will be procured as early as practicable. Twenty new fall hats and bonnets engaged this week. Now is the time to leave your orders. Mrs. J. S. Williams. Dr, T. B.

Mrs.’-Julia Lundie, who has been vis iting relatives in Newnan for two or three weeks past, will return to-day to her home in Birmingham, Ala. Simon Ector, a colored farm hand on Mr. Mich Huggins’ place in the Third district, was thrown from a mule yes terday and had his neck broken. The business prospect m Newnan has not been so encouraging since 1882, This applies to every branch of trade, and is equally true with respect to all. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John S.

An unusual number of drummers were in town this week, and they re port heavier sales in Newnan than at any other town in this section of the State. The reasons arc obvious. Our Methodist friends speak of get ting a new bell for their church. A new one is very much needed, and we have no doubt the project will prompt ly materialize when once set on foot. Major N. B. Glover returned this week from an extended trip through Alabama, and reports crops of all kinds better than lias been known any year since the war. The cotton and com crops are exceptionally fine. Miss Annie Lou Bailey will leave next Monday for Millersburg, Ky., whither she goes to enter school. A farewell reception will be tendered her to-night at the hospitable home of Hon. John B. Goodwyn, and the young peo ple of the neighborhood are expected i to turn out en masse. Last week the social event in the White Oak neighborhood was an ice cream festival on Friday night at the attractive country home of Mr. C. J. Harris, given by the youpg ladies of the vicinity, and we need no assurance that the affair was all tliat could have been desired. A party had arranged to go out from Newnan, but the inclem ent weather prevented. On Thursday next Mr. W. E. Avery will leave for New York, whither he goes to purchase his annual fall stock of jewelry and silverware, and will probably be absent until the 1st of Oc tober.

Pinson will be associated with Messrs. M. B. Hamilton & Co. in the cotton business this season, and in his capacity as buyer will visit Hogans- ville, Grantville and other neighboring towns. He has had considerable expe rience in this business and is an excel lent judge of the staple. He is more over a liberal buyer and will infuse life into the market wherever he goes. Col. Pat Grant returned last Sunday from Gadsden, Ala., whither he went several weeks ago to fulfill a business engagement. He was a passenger on the ill-fated steamer, “John J. Seay,” which burned to the water’s edge on the Coosa river last Friday, and was the last to leave the boat. He succeed ed, moreover, in rescuing a lady passen ger who had been deserted by the boat’s crew, and but for his heroic assistant e she would undoubtedly have perished. The R. D. Cole Manufacturing Com pany have been so rushed with orders this fall that it has been necessary for several weeks past to run their foundry and machine shops half the night. They have sold countless num bers of engines, grist-mills, saw-mills and ginning outfits, in addition to a va riety of other work. If their business continues to increase, (and this is no longer a matter of speculation,) they will be forced to extend their facilities by next season. A Good Investment—300 to 1-Bond.

A Briaas—Dear Sir: My step-son, 16 years old, has been sick for 9 years, suf fering with sallow complexion, thm blootF, loss of appetite, ^eat weakness and swelling of feet, legs and stomach. His face was bloated and puffed, and of a watery look (dropsical,) his compiex- ion being very pale and yellow. He had no regular appetite and too weak to work; not having worked six months, all told,-in 9years. IhsMltned 6 or 7 doctors and spent about $300 to cure him, without any lasting benefit. I offered one doctor $150 to cure him, but he refused the case. I heard and read so much about your Nunn better Tonic Pills I got 5 bottles for one dollar and gave them to him. He is now" en tirely well, and has worked for three months steadily in the field, and I con sider him finally cured. Your pills are a paving investment for sick and puny people.

An effort will be made to keep him at home hereafter. Mr. J. S. Nall will keep books during the coming season for Messrs. M. B. Hamilton & Co. He is an expert ac countant, and a good man in any ca pacity requiring careful clerical Work. He will prove himself invaluable in this position, and Messrs. Hamilton & Co. are to be congratulated upon se curing his services. Messrs. Thompson pros, have just made and placed in the office of our Superior Court Clerk a desk that is a model of elegance and convenience. It shows forth the beauties that lie hid den in the Georgia pine. Bro. Swint’s spirit is now haughty, for that desk el evates his office above those of his for mer friends and associates. Col. F. M. Brantly, of Fort Worth, Texas, stopped over in Newnan last Tuesday on his return from a visit to his parents in Senoia. He is the hand somest and most genial representative of the legal fraternity of the Lone Star State that we have yet had the pleas ure of meeting. He left Wednesday for his home in Fort Worth. A gentleman at Canton, Ga., has a large drove of hogs that are afflicted with cholera.

We shall watch the result with interest. Mrs. C. B. Magruder and daughter, of Rock Ledge, Fla., are visiting the family of Capt. R. H. Hardaway.

Several prisoners are in jail awaiting trial at the approaching term of our Su perior Court, viz: Noah Zellars, assault and battery; John Smith, assault with intent to murder; Scott Lewis, assault with intent to murder; Hembry Greer, assault with intent to murder; Simon Long, carrying concealed weapons. All the parties named are colored. At one time during the month there were ten prisoners in limbo. Just as we go to press information is received announcing the death of Rev. F. M. T. Brannon, which occurred to day at his home in Fairburn, from a stroke of paralysis. He was in Now- nan this week and seemed in perfect health.

M., of Coweta county. It is doubtful, however, if he will have time after the expiration of thirty days from date for the passage of his bill, unless the Legislature con tinues in session longer than the peo ple have been led to believe that it will. The notice appears elsewhere. Mr. Heard Dent, who has been with Stallings & Black for several weeks, left for Atlanta Wednesday, where he has secured a position with the popular dry goods house of D.
