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. THOMPSON B NEWNAN, GA. FINE AND CHEAP FURNITURE —AT PRICES- AT PRICES THAT CANNOT BE BEAT IN THE STATE. Miss Jennie Cates left last Mon day for Columbus, Miss., whith er she goes to resume her position as associate principal of the tech nological department of the State University. Miss Jennie is one of our most popular and accomplished- young ladies, and her efficiency and accepta bility in the position which she now occupies is not only known here, but is recognized and appreciated by the'fac ulty of which she is so valuable a mem her. 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 County Weekly, and was shipped this week to that point. Bro. Speer has one of the best newspaper locations in the State, and since the advent of the Geor gia Midland road McDonough has got ten on such a boom a power press and a larger paper are required to keep pace with the advancement of the town. Messrs. Fuller & Norris can be de pended on for the choicest, daintiest and freshest groceries in town when anything is needed in the way of eata bles. Their establishment is packed with new goods from floor to ceiling, and it is really wonderful how they have succeeded in crowding such a large a*nd select variety into one room. This is one of osr cleverest and most enter- has a “sarchin’ ” way of putting a prop- prising firms, and what they lack in osition, whether it be in prose or verse. Following is a specimen of the horse sense which usually emanates from his pabulum: ‘•The man who does not advertise Displays as much good en.se As the man who dons his Sunday pants To climb a barbed wire fence ” We stated in our last issue that there would be a general change in the pas senger schedules on the Atlanta and West Point Railroad, to take effect on Sunday. The item was gleaned from the Columbus Enquirer-Sun and ap peared as an official notice in that pa per: consequently the error is not chargeable to us. On Sunday morning last, at the resi dence of the bride’s mother in Atlanta. Mr. J. W. Vanbibber was united in marriage to Miss Mamie E. Wood. The bride is well and popwlarly known in Newnan, having resided here for a number of years prior to her removal to Atlanta, and her numerous friends will be gratified to hear of her happy marriage. Jim Reid has secured the rooms un der Reese’s Opera House and ou the first of next month will open an oyster saloon. He proposes to keep the finest and fattest bivalves that can be ob tained, and his well-known culinary ability warrants the prediction that it will be ope of the most popular resorts in town when he gets fully- estahlisherf in his new quarters. personal good looks is more than com pensated for' in general “get-up-and- git" , 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. Carrollton is bound to hare a Na^ tional Bank. Our people raised $10,000 engage in the millinery business at all, j in a very few minutes the other day and we take pleasure in making this. L am j^ won’t belong before the First Correction. | NatiOnal Rank of Carrollton will be a Newnan and Coweta county will nay between four and five thousand dollars for the education of our daughters in Macon and LaGrange this year. This 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 .not be as well equipped for this impor tant work as either Macon or La Grange. Tins point is too plain for controversy. The Indms of the Church and Aid So- Big stock of Chamber suits in Walnut. Antique Oak, Cherry, and Imitation suites.

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. Picture Frames on hand and made to order. SPLENDID PARLOR ORGANS Low, for cash or on the installment plan. Metallic and Wooden Coffins ready at all times, night or day. THOMPSON BROS., newnan, 6a. 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. E.J.S. In ewriafij {?£*.-, Sept. 21st !§£?.- the Was Taken 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.
