Quite a number of our people have
enjoyed the sights at the Piedmont Ex
position this week, though a majority
have deferred going until next week.

In 1882 Georgia had twelve National
banks and twenty-six State banks with
a total capital of $12,855,000. Besides
these there were thirty-eight private
banks in the State. Now Georgia has
twenty National banks and twenty-
eight State banks, with an aggregate
capital of $19,031,600. There are now
forty-nine private banks in Georgia.
Salbide’s “Newman Girl” cigar is

Orders have been received this week
from LaGrange, West Point, Griffin
and ether points, and the manufacturer

the wrapper is guaranteed to be full
Havana.
The Piedmont Exposition is a pretty
huge affair; but it will have to be a
great deal bigger to exceed the enter
prise of the Atlanta and West Point
Railroad. No road centering in Atlan
ta has provided more ample accommo
dations for the traveling public, and we
venture the assertion ir> advance that
no road will foot up fewer casualties at
the end of the fortnight.
The sickest Exposition visitor we
have seen was the young man who paid
$25 for a suit of elothing that he sor
rowfully learned by comparison, upon
his return home, could have been
bought right here in Newnan for $20.
We have no doubt his experience has
been the experience of many others,
though this is the only case that has
been brought to our notice thus far.
Messrs. T. E. Fell & Co. have now in

Bro. Calloway is the editor of the Re

most successful country newspapermen
in the State. His ability as a writer
goes without question, and we can
vduch for his personal and fraternal
cleverness.

From Mr. J. T. Benton, who was in
town Wednesday, we learn that the
little 4-year-old son of Mr. Thos. Car-}
ruical had his arm caught in a gin last j
Tuesday afternoon, mangling it so hor- j
ribly that it had to be amputated above j
the elbow. The accident occurred at;
Walthall’s gin, in the Second district,
but just how no one seems to know, as >
the little fellow was not observed in
dangerous proximity to the gin until
his outcries disclosed Ids perilous situa
tion.
Our cotton receipts last Saturday ex
ceeded four hundred hundred bales,
the buik of which was bought by \
Messrs. Arnold, Burnett & C’o., Capt.
Tom Powel and Messrs. Dc-ws & Aiv
derson at prices that averaged 1-10 j
above Atlanta quotations for that day,
and more than was paid by any neigh- ,
boring market, so far as heard from, j
This is practical evidence of the supe- j
rior facilities enjoyed by our cotton
men, and the sort of evidence that con- j
vinees.
Mrs. F. II. Daniel has a silk patch-
work quilt that is much admired by'
those who have seen it. It contains j
15,512 patches and is one of the hand- ;
somest specimens of needlework that j
we have ever seen. It is on exhibition j
at the Piedmont Fair, having been j
kindly loaned by Mrs. Daniel for this !
purpose, and we doubt not will be j
equally admired by the thousands of j
visitors that daily throng the Exposi-.
tion halls.
The Mayoralty.
It has been an open secret for several
weeks past that Col. J. S. Powell would
lie in the race for the mayoralty at our
approaching city election, and this ru
mor is finally confirmed by the formal
announcement of his candidacy, which
will be found elsewhere in Tiie Her
ald and Advertiser. His candidacy
is the result of strong and earnest im
port unit}" on the part of his friends,
who will give him their hearty and active
support. There can be no question as
to l.is ability or fitness for the position,
and if elected he will discharge the du
ties-of the office intelligently, conserv
atively, and to the general satis
faction of tlie people. The election
occurs on Saturday, December 10th.
Baird’s Minstrels.
The following complimentary men-j
tion of Baird’S Minstrels is made by the j
Atlanta correspondent of the New i
York Mirror, in a recent issue of that |
i
paper:
“Baird’s Minstrels, September 30th !
and October 1st, drew full houses at De-
Give’s Opera House. This is the best
minstrel show we have seen in Atlanta
in a long time, and all who attended en
joyed a good laugh. The banjo-playing
of the Leech brothers was well-receiv
ed. and Lew Benedict’s lecture was ap-
plauded to the echo. The company is |
at present traveling under the manage
ment of Mrs. Baird, who expects to
hold the reins until the 1st of January,
when she will be relieved by her hus
band.”
Popular prices of admission will be
charged. Reserved seats can be secur
ed at Reese’s drug store.
Up to this writing President Cleve-!
land has not formally consented to I
make a speech in Newnan as he passes j
through next Wednesday night en route j
to Montgomery. He has not even sig- :
nified a willingness to stand on the
rear, platform of the coach and wave his
night-robe at us; but no circum
stance, or combination of circum
stances, can prevent us from sitting on
the fence and see him go by. This is
one of the inestimable privileges of
American citizenship that cannot be
abridged.
Capt. TomZellars, of Grantvilte, is a
philosopher. He says along in mid
summer the cotton prospect seems to
worry everybody—the merchant and
newspaper man as well as the
farmer—but he has learned from
experience that a fair average crop
is marketed every year, despite the
drouth, the rain, the rust, the sore-
shin, the boll-worm, the caterpillar,
the September gale, the grass, the dep
redations of stock, the worthlessness
of guano, and the hundred and one dis
asters that the crop is subject to.
Under the provisions ef the Act cre
ating the City Court of Newnan the
testimony of witnesses, w'hether resi
dent in the county or elsewhere, may
be taken by depositions before a com
missioner appointed by the Judge, by
giving the opposite party five days’ no
tice of the time and place. Judge
Powell has appointed Orlando McClen
don, Esq., commissioner to take such
depositions. A continuance an account
of the absence of witnesses can be had
but once in that Court; hence the im
portance of taking testimony by depo
sition. ’
Our two banks publish sworn state
ments of their condition this week,
and we proudly direct attention
to the same. It is a most gratifying
exhibit, showing not only the admira
ble banking facilities enjoyed by our
community, but evidencing the con
tinued growth and prosperity of the in
stitutions referred to. The combined
banking capital of the town now ex
ceeds $150,000. while the list of deposits
in both banks foot up- the handsome
aggregate of $157,458US£—$88,065>.56 for
the First National, and $69,393.02 for
the Newnan National.
We make no charge for publishing
obituary notices, (though it is an old-
established newspaper ride to do so,)
and never refuse space requested for
the purpose; but these demand* upon
our eohunns are so frequent we cannot
afford topublish more than one obituary
notice of the same subject. We have,
recently* received as many as four or
five contributions of this character* and
while there may have been some varia
tion in>the language employed* the da
tails were so similar as to amount to
sameneas. We hope our friends will
see the point* add appreciate onr mo
tive in calling attention to it.
The Pomona Nurseries.
We desire to call attention to the ad
vertisement of the Pomona Nurseries,
owned by Mr. Phillip Smith, and loca
ted near Sunny Side, Ga- Mr. Smith
has been in the nursery and fruit busi
ness ever since the wat, and propagates
those Varieties of fruit trees, only that
are adapted to our climate and soil.
By persisting in this method of culture
he has succeeded in domesticating some
very choice varieties of grapes, apples,
peaches, pears, plums, etc., and is
growing them successfully and profita
bly every year. He shipped forty thou
sand grape-vines to Puckett Station a
few days ago, and has orders for a car
load of fruit trees to be shipped to the
same point. We have known Mr.
Smith personally fora number of years
and take pleasure in recommending
him to our people as being entirely
trustworthy and reliable.
Newnan’s Taxable Wealth.
We are indebted to Mr. L. S. Con
yers, our clever and efficient City
Clerk, for the following comparative
statement of the value of city property
in Newnan, being the result of the es
timate recently made by the city tax
assessors:
Total value of whole property for
the present year, $1,453,000, divided as
follows: Real estate, $721,685,000; per
sonalty, $731,309,000—being an increase
over the returns for last year of $107,-
000. In 1885 the tax rate was 30 cents
on the $100. Last year a tax of 25
cents on the $100 was levied, and this
year there has been a still further re
duction of 5 cents on the $100. The
rate for 1887, therefore, is only 20
cents on the $100. Even with this low
rate the city will derive an income of
about $2*7€0, which, added to the li
cense tax, will afford a total income of
$3*500.
Newnan is a fine town.

Monaghan is entitled to the thanks of
our theatre-going people for the superi

Death of “Parker” Hudson.
Our citizens will be shocked to learn
of the death of Mr. Thomas H. Hud
son, (or “Parker” Hudson, as he was
more familiarly known bore,) which
occurred quite suddenly at his home in
Carroll county, on Wednesday of last
week, from a stroke of paralysis. On
the day of his death lie ate a hearty >
dinner, after which he went out to a
field near the house to pick cotton. In
about ail hour lie was heard calling
from the field, apparently in distress.
His son and nephew hastened to his as
sistance, but when they reached him
lie was almost speechless. They car
ried him to the house, but he lingered \
only a few hours, when death put an
end to hi- sufferings.
Deceased was a warm-hearted, genial
man and h:-d scores of friends wherev
er known. He entered the late war as
a member of Company A, 1st Georgia
Regiment, and made a gallant soldier.
He was expected to attend the reunion
of his old regiment in Atlanta on the
18th Inst,
lie leaves a wife and three children.
The remains were interred oh Thursday
of last week, at Yellow Dirt church,
Heard county,
Some Fancy Horseflesh.
Dr. G. W. Peddy bought recently olV
Ben j. W. Hunt, of Ealonton, Ga., a 13-
months-old colt that is one of the
handsomest specimens of young horse
flesh the writer has ever seen. The
eolt has been christened “Falcon,” and
his pedigree shows that he was Sired-
by “Gion,” who was sired by “Prm-*
ceps,” one of the fastest trotters in
Kentucky. He was dammed by “Fili-
ola,” who was sired by “Knicker
bocker,” who was sired by Rysdick’s
“Hambletonian.” The distinguished
ancestor last mentioned earned for his
owner in 1865, at Lexington, Ky., nearly
$60,000. “Falcon” is now at Dr. Ped-
dy’s stables, where a great many of our
citizens have called to see him, and the
universal comment is that a trimmer
bit of horseflesh was never seen in this
section of the .State.
Mr. Jos. T. Kirby purchased a stan
dard bred filly of Henderson Bros., the
well-known West Virginia stock firm,
a few days ago, paying therefor the
sum of $250 delivered in Newnan. Up
on its arrival he was offered $400 fo
his purchase.
Mr. R. M. Hackney bought two
young fillies from the same firm, which
cost him $760 laid down in Newnan.
Mr. W. A. Dent also purchased a fine
West Virginia colt.
In addition to the above, the Constitv-
tion of Wednesday last notes the pur
chase by Mr. Hackney of three other
blooded colts, which are described as
follows: "Several Hambletoninns from
the J. E. Lewis stable of Pendleton,
S. C., which is represented on the
grounds, were sold yesterday to R. M.
Hackney, of Newnan, Ga. The horses
sold were: Logan, eighteen months
old, for $500; Fairy, two years old, for
$500; and an unnamed six-months-old
colt for $200.”
These are said to be the finest lot of
colts ever shipped to Newnan, and
their appearance would seem to justi
fy the claim thus made.
For the information of our friends in
the vicinity of Powelville who contem
plate going, to Atlanta during the Ex
position we will state that conductors
on the Atlanta and West Point Rail
road are not allowed to sell excursion
tickets on the trains. Their best plan,
therefore, will be to .purchase tickets
either at Newnan or Palmetto. Every
purchaser of an excursion ticket is com
pelled to get a ticket to the Exposition
grounds also, for which the regular ad
mission price (fifty cent o is charged, in
addition to the railroad law*. The ac
commodation train, and the extra that
passes Powelville shortly after 9 o’clock
in the morning, will stop there when
flagged. None others are allowed to
stop at that station.

Prompt, Safe and Reliable.
About three months ago Mr. I. N.
Scroggin took out a policy in the
Equitable Life Insurance Company for
the benefit of his 14-year-old son,
Ernest, whose sad death a few weeks af
terward is yet lamented in the commu
nity. The amount of the policy was
$5,000* which was written on the tontine
plan and designed by the father as 1
an investment for his son* from which
the latter would have realized some
thing over $4,500 in cash had he lived to
see his 25th birthday* or he would
have had the option of taking a paid-up
policy for about $15,000; But “man
proposes sod God disposes.” On the
20th of August the young man died;
and while everybody wae disappointed
in his life expectancy* his family re
ceived the full amount of the policy
within thirty days after his death, j
The money was paid by Major M. j
deGraffenried* the special agent of the
company, on the 18th of September.

testimony to the, promptness and relia
bility of ihe-EquitabJe in adjusting the

company.

ion being very pale 3nd yellow. He
had no regular appetite and was too
weak to work; not having worked six
months, all told, in 9yeaFs. I had tried
6 or 7 doctors and spent about $300 to
cure him, without any lasting benefit.
I offered one doctor $158- to cure him.
but he refused the case. I heard and
read so much about your Nunnbetter
Tonic Pills I got 5 bottles for one dollar
and gave them to huu. 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 paying investment for sick and puny
people. Yours respectfully*
