Death of Mrs. J. J. McClendonl
Just as we go to press the sad intelli

who have the deepest sympathies of
the community in their affliction. The
funeral will occur to-morrow in Atlan

Hill Hollar* a vplored citizen T3-

of shoes from Fuller & Norris’ store
last Tuesday afternoon and succeeded
in getting off with them unobserved.
He was subsequently apprehended by
Deputy Marshal Lee, however, and
when found had the stolen goods in
his possession. He yielded up his per
son into the clutches of the law with a
gentle submission that was beautiful to
see, but when the gloomy portals of
the county jail yawned before him
there was a complete transformation.
He suddenly turned his back upon the
scene, and for the distance of half a
mile showed as clean a pair of heels as
the astonished officer remembers ever
to have seen. He flew, he did, but
was finally overtaken and safely lodged
in jail, where he now languishes.

The power press upon which the
Coweta Advertiser was formerly printed
has been sold to Mr. C. M, Speer, of
McDonough, proprietor of the Henry

State, and since the advent of the Geor

We stated in our last issue that there

A special bill has been introduced in
the Legislature providing for the erec
tion of Court-houses in the different
militia districts of Campbell county.
Special legislation for this purpose is
unnecessary. Either the County Com
missioners or the Ordinary of a county
have ample authority to direct- such
improvements, and district Court
houses have already been erected in
several counties of the State without
.the acquiescence of the Legislature. It
is hardly necessary to remark that
Coweta is just as much in need of dis
trict Court-houses as Campbell.

is all wrong. We have an excellent fe
male - college here now, and the above
amount expended in the way of in
creased salaries and additional facili
ties would give us as good a school as
Macon or LaGrange now affords.
This is getting to be a serious question,
and the sooner our people can be
brought to a realization of it s impor
tance the better it will be for the com
munity. It is a poor town that cannot
educate its own children, and there is
no sensible reason why Newnan should

The Empire Store.
This establishment is now open for
the fall trade, ancl the enterprising
proprietor flaunts a large, solid, flam
ing advertisement in the face of the
public in token of his willingness to
meet competition in the dry goods line,
and “go one better” if necessary to
convince the trade that his bargains
are genuine and his intentions sincere.
Mr. Mount lias the largest and most
select stock of goods that he has ever
exhibited in Newnan, and many of the
articles mentioned in his advertisement
are undeniably bargains. With such
an infinite variety to select from, and
with two such clever assistants as John
Alexander and Matt Sharp to show
goods, it will be a strong temptation to
drop in and look around, whether you
need anything or not. The advertise
ment is sufficiently expressive to con
vey some idea of the magnitude of {the
business this establishment proposes to
do, and a careful reading of the same
may benefit you. Peruse it and medi
tate upon the disclosures therein made.

The Revival Meetings.
The series of meetings at the Baptist
church have been well attended
throughout the week, and have been Why
marked by deep (though quiet) relig
ious feeling. The pastor has been for
tunate this week in securing the assist
ance of Dr. Henry McDonald, of Atlan
ta, whose urgent appeals have stirred
the consciences of his hearers at every
1814, and died at his home in Mont
gomery, Ala., September 7th, 1887-
aged 73 years, 6 months and 13 days.
Thus, an honored and useful citizen
has passed away, but in the memory of
those who knew him he leaves a name
that will continue to live in years to
come. Major Calhoun was a man whose
traits of character were very promi
nent, and in all his views quite decided,
no one ever being at a loss to deter
mine which side of a question he was
on, adhering, all the time, to what he
considered the right, regardless of re
sults, either in public or private life.
A number of years ago he became a-
resident of the State ot Mississippi and
represented her people in the Legisla
ture; but failing 111 health, he was com
pelled to seek a home elsewhere, and
moved to Newnan, Ga. Here he soon
gained the confidence of the people,
and was elected to a position of trust
and responsibility. But a higher post
of honor awaited him in Montgomery,
and thither he went.
The first commission received bv a
civilian at the hands of President Da
vis was that of Quartermaster General
of the Confederate States, to Major
Calhoun. This he held, and true to
the interest of the Southern cause,
stood firmly by his country till the last
hone expired.
He was a grand nephew to Hon.
John C. Calhoun, and not an inferior
type of his illustrious ancestor.
Asa citizen he was imblic-spirited,
anxious ever to promote the advance
ment of his community. As a friend,
constantly loyal to those for whom he
felt an attachment. As a neighbor, re
spectful, kind and true. As a husband
and father he was all that could be em
braced in these endearing names, while
as a patriot none were purer than he.
For a number of years he was a mem
ber of the Methodist church, and for a
long time made the Bible his daily
study—the Psalms being bis favorite
portion of the Sacred Word. He leaves
a devoted wife and five chil
dren—Mrs. George Jones of New
nan, Mrs. JaflSewDuncan of New York,
Mrs. John Winter of Montgomery, and
Messrs. Thomas and Lawrence Cal
houn—the former' of Montgomery, the
latter of Missouri—aK of whom cher
ish his memory as a blessed inheritance.

service. Up to this time there have
been fourteen accessions to the church,
by letter and experience. The church
has been greatly revived and many an
arrow of conviction has pierced unbe
lieving hearts. The services will prob
ably be concluded on Sunday next, at
which time the ordinance of baptism
will be administered.
The protracted services at the Meth
odist church have been productive of
much, and we trust lasting, good. Bro-
Foote has been disappointed in obtain,
mg assistance from other divines, on
which he had based some hopes, but
their failure to lend a helping hand
served to nerve him and his member
ship to greater exertions, and the result
has been a profound interest in the
meetings. Up to date two have joined
by certificate, and before the close of
the services we hope to chronicle nu
merous other additions. The meet ings
«nay continue through the coming week.
CarLSorn Ball
Off.
Atlanta Cor. Macon Telegraph.
The fast or “cannon 1 ball” train to
Columbus on the Atlanta* and West
Point Railroad has been discontinued,
for the reason that General Maiiager
Belknap, of the Central system, ’A’asYe-
fused the further use of the 29 miles' Of
the Columbus and Western Railroad
track between Opelika and Columbus.
Had Qie “cannon ball” train been
continued the Georgia Midland Rail
road would soon have made an arrange
ment with the East Tennessee road to
inn through trains between Atlanta
and Columbus via McDonough. The
“cannon ball’s” business would have
thus been cut off probably fifty per
cent, and the Central road would have
had no compensation for its loss on the
pro rata part of the earnings for 39
miles. Mr. Belknap therefore antici
pated this competition by arranging
with the Georgia Midland to run
through trains Detween Atlanta and
Columbus via Griffin, beginning next
Sunday.
The Central thus gets a pro rata part
of the business for 50 miles instead of
29, as formerly, on consideration, of the
discontinuance of the “camion ball”
train. By the new route trains will
leave Atlanta for Columbus daily at
6:50 A. M. and 3:20 P. M. The distance
is four or five miles less by this route,
and the Georgia Midland track is in fine
condition.
