NEWNAN, GA. t AS SKCOND-CI.ASS MATTKU. Turin. Mr. Editor:- According to appoint ment the following named ministers met last Saturday and organized a Bap tist church at Starr’s mill, viz: Rev. K. Culpepper, Rev. A. T. Sears, Rev. W. II. Prichard and Rev. II. S. Rees. The church organized with twenty-five members, and the new organization will proceed at once to erect a house of worship. By unanimous vote Rev. II. S. Rees was chosen (and accepted) the pastorate of the same. A church has long been needed at Starr’s mill, and now that this want has been supplied it is hoped that the same may be a blessing not only to the present goner-1 ation but to succeeding generations, j Meeting-days will be tin* third Sabbath i and Saturday before in each month. Saturday night last the store of Messrs. Mitchell (Jay & Sons was brok en open and ft quantity of goods stolen, it appears that house-breaking and robbery are becoming very common throughout the country, and should bo stopped, if possible. Mr. S. T. Elder predicts that unless more of our young men adopt farming as their chosen avocat ion the country cannot long maintain her present con dition of prosperity. We agree most heartily with the view here presented, recognizing as we do the importance of the agricultural interest to the common welfare of the country. , Parties attendingthe Stale Fair bring complimentary reports of their visit, expressing themselves as highly grati- lied and interested. The walls of the new brick warehouse have been finished and made ready for the roof. In a few weeks the doors will be thrown open to the public. Rev. Mr. Duval preached to a full house last Sabbath at Standing Rock church. Mr. Will Pilant left for his home in Haralson county this week. Cotton is somewhat thin in the fields now, and the gins find but little to do. The fact is, the crop has about “done its do,” and it is about time now for prices to bristle up a little. In a late issue of the Atlanta Consti tution a speaker in one of the numerous anti-prohibition meetings is reported as having said that a minister of the gospel had no right to make addresses upon the questit>11 of prohibit ion. Non, why has not a minister of i he gospel as much right to speak out on questions affecting the morals of the people as those who advocate the side of intem perance V Intemperance is an evil that the bible condemns, and it is the bounden dut y of every minister of the gospel (and Christians generally) to op pose this terrible evil with all the earn estness and power of which they may be possessed. The devil has always opposed the ministers of Christ—espe cially when they attack his most fruit ful sources of destruction. Cod giant success to the ministers and good peo- Zion. It was an occasion long to be re membered by those who had the pleas ure of being present. When your cor respondent arrived he found the crowd gathered around huge, blazing fires. At 11 o’clock as many as possible went in to t he house, where they heard an excel lent sermon, preached by Rev. Mr. Cars well, of Hampton. After listening to the eloquent discourse the large congre gation was dismissed for dinner; and we pause right here to remark that the good people of that communnity can not be excelled for true and unaffected hospitality, nor for the delightfulness of their entertainment. And it was the best old-fashioned singing that I ever heard. Mr. W. II. Albright is quite sick, but we hope will soon be up again. Col. F. A. Pierce, of Hogansville, was here last Saturday on legal busi ness. .Mr. Cyrus J. Mathews spent Sunday with us. Luthersville has received over five hundred bales of cotton this season. This speaks well for our enterprising little town and shows what we might do if we had a railroad. And, by the way, that same railroad is yet cherish ed as a possible scheme by some of our leading citizens, who seem to know what they are talking about, \\ hy not V I)r. J. AY. Taylor and Capt. .T. II. Williams attended the State Fair and Masonic Grand Lodge in Macon last week. Misses Lora Norris and Mary Lou Williams left for Greenville a few days ago on a visit to Miss Mary Stro- zier. Dr. Frank Thornton, of Gadsden, Ala., is on a visit to his brother, Dr. .1. E. Thornton. Dr. Ilodnett, of Haralson, spent Sat urday and Sunday here. Eudo. Nov. 2d. J. B. MOUNT'S EMPIRE STORE.

RHODES, 85 Whitehall St., Atlanta, Ga Puckett Station. Mr. Editor:—Mr. John B. McClure, of Atlanta, visited relatives here re cently. Mr. FI. P. Hindsman lost a fine milch cow last week. Mr. Deary Couch killed a plug on Martin’s mill-pond the other day. It is fowl rarely seen in this section and Mr. Couch says it takes “a man to plug one of ’em.” Capt, Bob McCollum is doing about the best farming of anybody in our midst. He will make this year, witii only six plows, ninety-five bales of cot ton, and “other truck accordin’.” Mr. Fred M.

The largest shipments of New Goods from the best markets in the count! which, for style ami selection, have no superior. For fullv thirty days J. B. MOUNT ransacked the Northern and East Markets iti the selection of this stock, and never before lias 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 ot the trading public. ,, . . . ... . To describe the manv novelties, the endless variety, tin* immensity ot Ins stock, and tin* many BARGAINS he is offering, would only result in a faint ef fort. Nothing short of a thorough examination of liis STOCK AN1) PRICES can give a proper knowledge of J. B. MOUNT’S BUSINESS ! cos and Goods, 2.1c to $1 50. precipitated upon them, for their fight is our fight. B. A. 1. Nov. 2d. Fourth District. Mr. Editor:—1 learn that Rev. R. II. Jackson preached the funeral of Mrs. J. IT. Summers last Sunday, according to appointment, to a large and apprecia tive congregation. It was not my pleasure to attend; therefore, I am un able to give any particulars. The duty of reporting the deaths ot •our friends and citizens has become painfully frequent, as is evidenced by the fact that there were six deaths in the Fourth district last week, to-wit: That of Mr. Meriwether, which was re ported in last week’s paper; that of Mr. Cortes-Lazenby; that of a pair in fant twins of Mr. and Mrs. James Moore: that of old aunt Mary Willcox- on, colored, as she was familiarly call ed; and that of an infant of Hilliard Bonner, colored. Mr. Cortes Lazenby, a highly es teemed citizen, died at his mother s on determination to have it removed. M ith pie of Atlanta in the struggle recently t j J j s pul -p ose i n view he came to New- nan about three weeks ago and placed himself under the treatment of Dr. R. L. Y.. Long. The tumor was located under the ear, extending from the left mastoid process to the clavicle in length, and in width from the trachea under the sterno eleido mastoid muscle, and in depth down to and surrounding the parvagus nerve, im mediately under tin* jugular vein and over the carotid artery. I he pecuiiai location of the tumor rendered it a very delicate and exceedingly dangei- ous operation, but it wasiuost skillfully and successfully removed, and with but little pain to the patient, who has so far recovered as to be able to return home in just two weeks from the time the operation was performed—a much happier and more contented man than he had ever hoped to be. The opera tion took place at the residence of I>r. R. L. Y. Long, and was performed by Dr. Long. Dr. J. T. Reese, Dr. A. C. North and Dr. J. T. Moore, the time occupied being less than one hour. Why should the people ol' this sec-! for which purpose he takes pleasure in extending a hearty invitation to one Many competitors would cause tin* Trade to believe that every man blows his own horn !—in answer to which J.
