Very little was done on Mon day, except to call the entire issue docket. Tuesday morning the ease of Mrs. Newton vs. the Atlanta and West Point Railroad Company was taken up, and was still pending at 11 o’clock Wednesday, at which hour I left the city. Prof. Leigh was riding a horse a few days since, which fell and caught the Professor’s foot under-him and hurt it so severely that he has been limping ever since—except for about two hours, a few days afterwards, at which time the geinal Professor had lost some 8220,"and crushed foot, broken ankle, lameness, pain, soreness, and all had left him and he got up and w-a-l-k-e-d. lie thought he knew where he had lost it and offered 820 to the person who might find it, but all to no pur pose* He almost raked the bottoms out of his pockets but the lost lucre failed to materialize. It was gone, and forever gone. His many friends sym pathized with him, but that was poor consolation to the Professor. Finally, he was induced to examine his left hip pocket, and sure enough there it was, all intacLand just where he had put it. They say he jumped three feet high on that same sprained foot. I don’ know. He took up his stick again. The school question is now agitating our community, and it is one that should have a prompt solution. There is no need of a town like Grantville do ing without first-class educational ad vantages. Only a little sacrifice, a bir determination to help, and the matter is accomplished. There is nothing that adds more to every interest of a town than for the citizens io act with “one accord”—in harmony, each with tin other. I am willing to sacrifice my preference as to teachers for the pub lie good. Grantville can support r splendid school and ought to have it and would do so but for that contempt iblc streak of human nature that de sires everybody to do and see “our way.” And he who can best overc ome and subdue such an enemy to public welfare is the greatest hero of the occa sion. Let every citizen of Grantville for once, determine to kill this monster evil and use every means to build iq here a school of which we will all be proud. Aunt Miller H. White is lying very low, and probably before this is in print her soul will have winged it- ilight into the unknown. Everybody loves Aunt White. Mr. W. II. Albright, of Luihersville was in town Thursday. Mr. J. F. Lovejoy represented Grant ville Lodge, F. and A. M. No., 285, in the Grand Lodge at Macon recently, Col.

The Methodist congregation at this place have been using the Baptist church for a couple of months while their own church is being repaired. They have torn off the roof and raised the house 12 feet. The inside work, when completed, will lie beautiful. They hope to finish the work by the nd of the year. It will then be one of the handsomest country churches in this part of the State. Nemo.

Mr. Editor:—'The Good Samaritans, an organization of colored people at this place, have for several years own ed the building known as Ferrell’s hall. They have torn it down and pro pose to build on the same site a large and handsome building for their socie ty meetings. Mr. S. P. Condor killed a pig just six months old, a few days ago, which net ted 204 pounds. Mr. O. H. Cochran has two 13-months-old shotes which, to gether, will weigh 1,100 pounds. Mr. and Mrs. Tarpley Menafee, of Ot tawa, Kan., and their three daughters, visited the families of Mrs. R. Cum- rning and Mr. J. A. Johnson last week. Mrs. Richard Clarke, of Jonesboro, and her mother, Mrs. ,T. A. Johnson, Sr., also spent a few days with tlie same families last week. Mr. Dean Whittaker, of Baltimore, Md.. is visiting the family of hi- fath er, Dr. A. S. Whittaker. Mr. James II. Rodger- and his fami ly. of Sumter county, have been visit ing relatives in Palmetto and Carroll counties. Mrs. J. T. Beckman and her daugh ter, Ida, have gone fora mouth's vi-it to relatives in Charleston. S. C. Mrs. G. W. Colquitt and her daugh ter. Maud, returned la-t week from a pleasant visit to Macou. They were the guests of Mrs. Frank Jeter. Turin. Mr. Editor:—Your readers not receiv ing The Herald and Advertiser at this place until Monday morning, thought very strange of the delay, and don’t yet understand why the paper did not arrive at the usual time. You haven large number of appreciative readers in this vicinity, and whenever your paper fails, from any cause, to ar rive promptly, it is a serious disap pointment to them Wherever I go find the same interest manifested, and am assured your subscribers will esteem it a favor to receive their papers as early as possible after they have been print ed. Hon. W. Y. Atkinson was here last Saturday, and in the course of conver sation made some remarks about “in crease of patience;” whereupon a by stander observed that the people had discovered that the honorable gentle man was possessed of this admirable quality himself, and to a very com mendable degree. He referred, of course, to our excellent Representa tive’s protracted legislative experience, and the “hit” was enjoyed by that gentleman as much as by others who heard it. Rev. Elim Culpepper has resigned charge of the church at White Oak Grove, and will also tender his resig nation as pastor of the church at Sharps burg on Saturday next. Rev. Mr. Garner was, on Saturday last, cho sen to succeed him as pastor at liite (Oak Grove, and it is understood ha- ac cepted the charge. Rev. V. A. Ham and bride have re turned from their wedding trip, and will take up their residence in Sliarps- buvg. In reading the legal advertisements in ycuir la-t issue 1 notice that the valu able farm belonging to the estate of James Russell, deceased, will be sold at public outcry on the first Tuesday in December. This body of land is situ ated in the Second district, and is one of the most desirable farms in the county. The farm contains 250 acres of land, much of which is in a high state of cultivation. The residence is well constructed and commodious, and whoever may chance to secure posses sion of tiie property will never have cause to regret his investment. While other places, are boasting of cheap goods, Turin is determined not to be behind. The firm of Russell & Co. are closing out a good stock of goods at cost. Turin is such a fine cotton market that almost the entire crop of the neigh borhood has been sold right at home. Whenever the Newnan and Senoia boys desire an extra fine grade of cotton they bolt for Turin, where they are always sure to find it. Wonder what**Newnan gentleman it was that left his fine heaver in hoc in Griffin on stockholder-’ day and went home hatless ? Dr. Lester has been appointed ex press agent at- this place. Well, the Doctor lacks a good deal of being hand some, but in point of cleverness he makes a full scholar. Mr. John B. Bailey is the recognized head of the department of justice in thi- precinct. Judge McClendon wa- in Turin last Saturday. Nov.9th. R. A. T. Luthers villa. Mr. Editor:—Mr. J. T. Upshaw, of Concord, paid us a flying visit last Mon day. Messrs. J. W. Taylor, ,T. II. Williams and W. H. Taylor went to LaGrange last Friday to assist in organizing a Masonic Lodge. Mr. Rehben Keith, of Texas, is circu lating among his friends at this place. Rev. J. D. Norris, of Sharpsburg, passed through here last Saturday en route for Rocky Mount, whither he goes to fill Rev. V. A. Ham’s appoint ment. Mr. Whit Crookshanks, the popular representative of Tanner, Currier & Heath, of Atlanta, was shaking hands with our merchants yesterday. The wedding bells will soon be ring ing. Your correspondent is in receipt of a “hint.” Euro. Nov. Sth. Puckett Station. Mr. Editor:—Ileigh ho !—have you joined the ’Liance yet ? Mrs. John Silvey. of Atlanta, and i her accomplished daughter. Miss Kate, i have been visiting Mrs. G. E. Camp. ; Mr. L. M. Adams has gone to East • Point to re-nnie his position with Messrs Blount & Hill. Mr. K. A. Nisbet and Dr. (). II. Can trell, of Fairburn, paid us a short visit i recently. Miss Mattie Mayfield visited friends ! in Mnntgomerv last week. Panther Creek. Mr. Editor:—You made a mistake last week in locating Mr. Pope Jones in the Fourth district. He resides in this district, near Moore’s ferry. It is reported that several real estate transactions have taken place the past week. Dr. J. R. Sewell bought 45 acres (where Mr. Jacobus Petty now lives,) paying 8S00 for it. Mrs. F. R. Logan sold 195 acres to Mr. Jos. T. Kir by for 82,700. Real estate seems to be on a boom in this district. I understand that Mr. M . S. Cope land lost a fine mule last week, supposed to have been afflicted with pink-eye. Only a short time since Mr. C. lost a val uable horse, also. I know how to sym pathize with him, for I lost the only horse I had this year. Mr. and Mrs, Julius Hood have the j sympathies of the entire community in tiie loss of their little infant. I learn that the services' of Prof. John B. Allen have been secured as principal of the Alexander Stephens Institute at Roscoe, for the ensuing year, at a salary of 8809. It is a wisq selection. I am sorry to hear of the serious ill ness of Mrs. Ed Morgan, of Cedar Creek district. Messrs. J. B. and C. IT. Newton are both on the sick list. Mumps are making some of the dar kies look fat about t he jaws. Jack Jackson, one of our most sue- essful colored farmers, will make this year, with one mule, fifteen bales of cotton a?.d sixty bushels of corn. Mr. L. M. Carter will make fifteen or sixteen bales to the mule and corn enough to do him. Charles Johnson, colored, will make about twenty bales of cotton to the mule, and many others in the commun ity will make from seven to ten bales to the mule. No wonder land is on a boom in this section;—and all the money derived from these crops goes to Newnan and to the guano dealers or manufacturers. There once lived in the neighbor hood an old man whose daily grace at the table was—“Lord, we thank Tliee for these good victuals on the table; and pray Thee to keep us away from the -tore, the doctors, the lawyers, and the itch.” That same man made a good living, and though he has long since been called to his everlasting reward, his wife and several children yet reside in the community and are amongst our best citizens.* There was considerable “lsrwing” among the colored people last week in this bailiwick. Mr. Nathan S. Hyde has sold his nice litrie farm, consisting of sixty acres, to Mrs. J. II. Reul. of Atlanta, for 81.000 cash. This i- one of the best little farms in the county, and well worth the money. Prof. C. P. Sander- and family, of Temple, (ia., are visiting Col. G. H. Sanders in this district. The Profes- -or reports considerable sickness in and around Temple. Twenty deaths from typhoid fever have occurred there since early summer. He attended the land by. lYople from several States attend ed the sides, many of whom bought property. It is predicted that Talla poosa will l>e a second Atlanta or Bir- j mingbam. Elder Harrison Jones, of Hampton. | i- visiting his sick mother in this neigh borhood, whose condition is no better than when we wrote last week. Little or no wheat is being sown, and but few of our farmers speak of sowing. reckon, though, the Farmers’ Alli ance clubs will sow more largely than ever—especially as reform is- their ob ject. and the only true road to financial prosperity among farmers is to raise their own supplies for "home consump tion. And yet neither tariff reform, political parties nor secret orders will make bread and meat. Nothing but hon est toil will yield such a return. I sym pathize with the laboring classes, but it is hard to kick against the pricks. Money is power, always has been and ever will be. 4\ henever labor kicks against it the laboring classes are hurt. The only capital the common laborer has is his muscle. Take two men—A and B—one a rich, the other a poor man. Both go to a store to buy goods on time, or to a bank to borrow money. The rich man gets his goods or money at a much less per cent, than the poor man. And why? Because the poor man has nothing to pledge as seeurrity for payment except his word of honor, a pair of willing hands and a good char acter. His honor and character will count for as much as the rich man’s, of course, but he may die, and the only valuable consideration of the transac tion is rendered useless by his death. If the rich man dies he leaves an estate out of which the creditor may satisfy his claim; and hence the merchant’s or banker’s readiness to accommodate him. This is the law of trade and busi ness the world over. Money can hold out longer than a hungry man. These thoughts have occurred tome incident ally, and are not written for or against any one. So long as labor and capital get along harmoniously there will be prosperity in the country, hut whenever these formidable elements clash there is sure to he trouble in the land. We welcome Mr. D. P. Power- and family back into their old neighbor hood. Ripples.

Mr. Editor:—A lusty “amen,” from this corner, to the sincere congratula tions offered to the happy bride, Mrs. Wallace, last week. And to all* the nice things said about the occasion thi- postscript is added as our offering on the altar consecrated to all that is pure and virtuous in lovely woman. An amia ble disposition,gentle, winning manners and cultivated mind made Miss Mary a great favorite with a large circle of friends and acquaintances. And she was the recipient of the best gifts from each of the muses. May she find in her future home the realization of her fondest hopes and the elysium of all her girlhood dreams. Surely the moth er of such a child has more to boast than the Czarina of all the Russias. Miss Pearson, of Alexander City, Via., spent several days last week with Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Wilkinson. Mrs. Wilkinson will spend this week with her brother, John Graham, near Aus tell. Douglas county. Hi- wife is dan gerously ill. Col. S. L. Whatley, of White Oak, was up this way several days last week beating up recruits to form what he calls a Bachelor’s Alliance. The organ ization will be unique, and, if a success, the name of Mr. Whatley will go tumb ling along down the ages with that of Howard and Peabody and the other great benefactors and philanthropists who have been a blessihg to thousands of the human race. It will take twelve bachelors to form a club, each one to make affidavit that he is not engaged or making love to any lady at the time of joining. At the expiration of, say thirty days, then each one is at liberty to address and marry whom he can. But no one is allowed to mention, or even look love at a woman until the signal Ls given for all to start, like a tap of the drum for the horses in a race. When the first one marries the other eleven are to give his wife a paid-up five-thou- sand-dollar policy in some life insur ance company. When another mar ries, rho other ten are to pay for the policy, and so on. until the number is reduced to -fix. when the organization becomes defunct. Dr. McGee is an en thusiast on the -ubjeet, and moves around as restless as a young racer champing the bit. impatient for the signal to be off, and i- confident he can Notes from “Old McIntosh.” Mr. Editor:—Lest, through remiss ness, I should forfeit entirely my place among your honored list of correspond ents, I seize upon some floating item- that may interest your readers. There are signs in the air—there i- something more reliable than mere ru mor upon which to lwise the conviction —that something is going to happen that will break the monotony of our quiet neighborhood life. “Between now and Christmas,” it is said, several marriages are to come off. In fact, in vitations are really out for a marriage on Thursday evening, bet ween one o: our most enterprising and successful young farmers au<l a most popular am! lovely young lady of the Mt. Gilead neighborhood—to be followed, the suc ceeding day, by a reception and dinner (“infair,” is our country name for it, , at the groom’s father’s. The beautiful weather of Sunday last brought out a large congregation to listen to the interesting amf>»difyiiig sermon of the pastor. Rev. Mr. (San ders. We are glad to know that Mr. S. will preach for us once more before leaving to attend Conference. Several prospective changes in the community threaten Mt. Gilead with the loss oi some of its most substantial members, which, of course, is to be regretted. But, to quoth Widow Bedott, we “Can’t, calkerlate with no preHt-iou Ou naught beneath I lie sky;” So it is best to avoid a premature mention, of course.

Tin Farmers’ Alliance movement is al - sorbing every other interest just now. Col. S. L. Whatley has made an ap pointment to be at Handy Thursday night, to organize a lodge there. I are informed that all such meetings an- held at night—for a good reason, lYm - sume; but I know so little about tin- order it would be out of place to ad vance an opinion. It is reported tha they have nearly ruir.ed Franklin; am if they do, and thereby obliterate ai hopes of our getting a railroad fron Newnan to Franklin, I shall be righ; mud. I am informed that the Alliane has bought perhaps the best water power in Texas and will erect a fin factory there. In this connection would suggest that Mr. W. S. Hill owns a very fine power; and I ha\ been told that Spencer James, also* Heard county, has the finest watp power in the State. According to n- geography they are nearly on -a lin with Newnan, and if tiie Alliance w! buv these powers and build factorii- and then aid in the construction ol railroad from Newnan to Franklin, will get in a good humor and may r: up and call them blessed. \ AM’Ki.E Nov. 9th.
