J 1 r<‘" * ihc Jerald and ^drcrfaci;. BY THE NEWNAN PUBLISHING CO. 8. XV. MURRAY, Bufiinons Manager. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF CITY AND COUNTY * WVVWWA SUBSCRIPTION PRICE. *1.50 A YEAR. ENTEKKO AT TIIE POST-OFFICE, NFWNAN, OA.. AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER. Fourth District. Mr. Editor:—I was made to say in your last issue that Mrs. Susan Hub bard had two sick children, whereas I intended to say Mrs. Susan Bilbow. You also made me say W. A. Williams where I should have said W. A. Mil- lians. Our community was visited last Fri day evening by a very heavy rain, and up in the Wortham settlement there was a heavy hail-storm, which did con siderable damage. The little babe of the late Mrs. Finch er died at Mr. Jas. Bevis’ last Saturday and was buried Sunday morning beside its mother. It has been sick ever since its mother’s death; but now it is free from all pain and rests in the abode with Him who said, “Suffer little chil dren to come unto me.” At 11 o’clock Rev. F. J. Amis preached its funeral. This makes three of the Fincher family that have died in the past few months. I learn that Mrs. John Payton, who lived at Hutcheson’s mill in Panther Creek district, died on Monday, the 18th inst., and was buried at Elim the fol lowing afternoon. I was not acquaint ed with deceased, and am not informed as to particulars. We tender the aged husband and children our sympathies in their bereavement. The church at Pleasant Hill has call ed Rev. W. W. Kelly as pastor for the ensuing year. Prof. Lipscomb closed his singing school at Elim last Sunday with an all day singing, which I am informed was largely attended. We made an attack on Buchanan’s hill Mpnday and cut up the dirt terri bly; but have let loose now to blow and spit in our hands. We have no late news from our sick. Hope, however, they are getting well. Sept. 22d. Vanpelt. Roscoe. Mr. Editor:—We had copious rains last Friday night and Saturday, which were very acceptable. There was a good deal of cotton in the patch, but it does not seem to be damaged very much. Dr. J. R. Sewell and wife went to the Fourth district to see the latter’s moth er last Saturday. Mrs. Aderhold and her mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. Hawk, from the State of Kansas, are visiting rela tives and friends in this vicinity. They give a glowing description of that State and it will not be surprising if the Kan sas fever breaks out in this community. Mr. Harry Sewell is greatly rejoiced and wears a smile four inches in width, because a fine boy has made his head quarters at his house. I attended the all-day singing at Mac edonia last Sunday. It was a bad day and but few (especially the ladies) were out; but the music was almost equiva lent to that made by the Muses in olden Times. The people around Roscoe are rejoic ing over the prospect of having two mails a week. If there is anything that we need it is two mails a week, and we certainly thank The Herald and Ad vertiser for the effort it is making to obtain these facilities. I know of nq sickness in the commu nity except love sickness, which is very prevalent among our young men, and from the way it is spreading it seems to be contagious. I do not know any rem edy for it, short of marrying, and I am sorry to say that in many instances pov erty forbids the application of that remedy. Oracle. Sept. 21st. Mr. Editor, why did you not let the Turin merchants know that “R. A. T.” needed a new hat for the Association ? He has never had as much as a nibble of cheese from them, although he has devoted article after article to the ad vancement of their interests in one way and another, and will continue to do so. But, ala6! such Is life. The fellow that went through Senoia and sluck up those flaming liquor post ers must have a deal of cheek. The good people of that town are greatly incensed at the act. We are pleased to see Mr. T. E. Shell again upon our streets. R. A. T. Sept. 21st. J.B. MOUNT'S A Georgia Beauty at the Constitu tional Centennial. The following from the Philadelphia Times is quite a compliment to one of Georgia’s most gifted and beautiful young ladies. The reception alluded to took place at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia last week in honor of President and Mrs. Cleveland: “Decidedly the most striking and no ticeable incident of the reception was the presence of Miss Gordon, of Geor gia, the daughter of Governor Gordon, and the attention she received. Next to Mrs. Cleveland she received more attention and notice than anyone else S esent. Collector Cadwalader, and rs. Cadwalader, and, in fact, almost all the fashionable people present, crowded around her and formed a splendid galaxy in front of one of the private boxes. Miss Gordon divided the honors with Mrs. Cleveland, and divided them fairly. She is very tall, with a magnificent figure, a statuesque head, noble features, splendid hair, and is altogether the finest example of Southern beauty ever seen in Philadel phia. Miss Gordon at one time had several Governors, a number of Judges, half a dozen Congressmen and some fifteen or twenty gentlemen of social distinction around her. She was also surrounded with ladies. She made a veritable sensation, and next to Mrs. Cleveland was unquestionably the most striking and interesting of the several thousand ladies present, among them being ladies noted for their beauty from a dozen or more States.” T. E. FELL & CO., DEALERS IN HARDWARE AGRICU LTURAL IMPLEMENTS, ETC. NEWNAN, OA. SEASON GOODS: Milburn Cotton Gins, White Hickory Wagons, Manilla Rope, Buckthorn Pence Wire, Patent Buggy Wheels, Grass Scythes, Snaths, Belting, Lace Leather, Wagon and Buggy Materials, Granite Iron Wares. Turin. Mr. Editor:—Our people feel better since the rains, and vegetation has im proved wonderfully. It is hoped now that a good crop of potatoes will be made. On Sunday ne^t* at Standing Rock, Rev. Mr. Parks will preach the funeral of Mr. Wm. Morgan. Mr. R. Cole has moved into his new residence. Mr. J. B. Hunter is preparing to erect a.new dwelling in Turin. Mr. Bob Perkins says the “Tom Johnson house” has a capital L to it, tyit that is all right otherwise and will hold anything put into it. We are glad to see a steady improve ment going on in our thriving village One of Newnan’s best men agrees to take stock to the amount of $500 in the new brick warehouse soon to be erected near the ginnery at this place, bo, you see, Turin jaas a day ahead. Your scribe mingled with the Se- noians the other day, and the way they talk up their town is just right. They claim to have the best cotton market, the cheapest goods, the biggest ginnery and the best little newspaper in the country. I dropped in to see “Vin cent,’? your clever correspondent there, who wears a perennial smile and grips your hand cheerfully every time he meets you. Col. Auld, of Newberry, S. C., vis ited the families of Mrs. Page and prof C. L. Moses a few days since. Miss Talu Clark, one of our visitors, has been on the sick list for several days. EMPIRE STORE, (On Greenville street, next door to Dr. Reese’s Drug Store,) Originator of Rock Bottom Prices in Wewnan, Georgia. -:o:- THE GRANDEST DISPLAY -OF- DRY GOODS, NOTIONS, CLOTHING, BOOTS, SHOES, HATS, TRUNKS, CARPETS, ETC., And everything included in that line of business, ever presented to the public, rgest snii The largest shipments of New Goods from the best markets in the country, which, for style and selection, have no superior. For fully thirty days J. B. MOUNT ransacked the Northern and Eastern Markets in the selection of this stock, and never before has he met with such marvelous success. This trip North will long be held in memory by the people of Coweta and adjacent counties; for he has thereby secured for them bargains in every department—truly bargains—that will open the eyes of the trading public. To describe the many novelties, the endless variety, the immensity of his stock, and the many BARGAINS he is offering, would only result in a faint ef fort. Nothing short of a thorough examination of his STOCK AND PRICES can give a proper knowledge of J. B. MOUNT’S BUSINESS ! for which purpose he takes pleasure in extending a hearty invitation to one and all. Many competitors would, cause the Trade to believe that every man blows Ms own horn !—in answer to which J. B. MOUNT reminds the public of the crowds he has blown together in the past three years, during which time he has distrib uted his BARGAINS over this and adjoining counties. Such “blowing” the North Georgia people have, and always will, appreciate. J. B. Mount guarantees to beat prices from io to 25c. per cent. J. B. Mount guarantees the largest variety. J. B. Mount guarantees the largest stock to select from. Here are facts that he is willing to risk his reputation on— 5,000 yards of good Prints at 34c.—worth 5c. 2,000 yards Mattress-Ticking, 44c—worth 7£c. 2,000 yards Plain and Brocaded Dress Goods at 4c.—worth 8c. 1,200 yards splendid Plaid Dress Goods at 5c.—worth 10c. (These goods were bought in a job lot, and is a splendid bargain.) 800 yards Dress Goods at 10c.—wprth 15c. I AM VERY BUSY! But will stop long enough to give a few pointers on DRY GOODS, SHOES AND CLOTHING—not many—just enough to worry the boys and set the pub lic to thinking. Some cf my remarks may fall with a dull, sickening thud upon the ear of my competitors; but I have abandoned all hope of getting rich in one brief season, and am determined to put my goods down and be content hereafter with a reasonable profit instead of trying to “make it all” between September and May. I therefore respectfully submit the following for the consideration of the public, which I trust will be accepted as evidence of the reforms I have resolved upon: CLOTHING I In this department I have an elegant line of Light-Weight Overcoats, rang ing in price from $12 to $15.
