$lu} gtraUl and ^drcdisci;. Newnan, Ga., Friday, Nov. 11, 1887. WEEKLY CIRCULATION, 1,750. JAK. E BROWN, Editor. A. Visiting Editor’s Opinion of New- nan. Editor Kpeer, of the ITcnry County Weekly, bas visited Xewnnn several times in the past few months, and from the copious notes condensed in an arti cle which appeared in his paper last week we are obliged to admit that he has sized us up pretty accurately. While all that lie gays i» tfjue, and well said, yet if he had extended ght have found much greatest benefits to the largest num ber. The schools will lie graded as high as any in the State, and as thor oughly equipped. The curriculum in the high school department will em- | brace most of the senior studies, and , : upon graduation diplomas will be ; awarded, ! College Temple has been leased by ! the school authorities and will he occu- j pi<-d as a public school until other and | permanent arrangements can be ef-! feeted. The rental is -$75 per month, ; possession to be given in January next, j The election for teachers will take j place next Tuesday night. A LARGE STOCK IN AND NEW GOODS ARRIVING CONSTANTLY 150 BARRELS FLOUR, NEW CROP, Just received, direct from the mills—all made from wheat of this year’s crop. We have all the different grades. Buy from us and save wholesale grocers’ profit. We get it at the mills, and upon precisely the same terms that the Atlanta merchants do. Get our prices and then try a sample of our Flour. “Proof of the pudding is chewing the bag."

There is more to be admired in her incor porate limits, more to he imitated in her practical improveinents, more to he em ulated in her social and business circles, fha.ii any town of her size in the Unit ed States. In the first place, she is wide awake to her own interests, and her business men have built a splendid fine of manufacturing establishments. The K. 1). Cole Manufacturing Com pany builds anything, from a clevis-pin to a steam engine; and their wares are bought in all portions of the South and West. The quality of their goods is second to none made in the East. She has ;i cotton seed oil mill that manu factures all of the cotton seed grown :n t fn> surrounding country. Her guano factory furnishes the farmers with a high grade guano at a much lower price than it can be bought from foreign manufacturers. Her furniture shops ure running at their full capacity, and the furniture is sold far and near. Her banking capital is twice that of any town of her size in the State. Her citi zens, as a general thing, are more wealthy and less “stuck up” than any people in the South. They all seem to think that there is no excellence wuth- uit labor. She is an “old South towoi. she reveres the memory of the gray phalanx who fought, bled, and died lor ilie cause they thought was right. r I<> these gallent men she has reared a monument of heroic size. I here, m the midst of her grand plaza, stands upon a granite shaft one of the “Old ’xiiar.r* in pure Italian marble, who knew not how to surrender, but rather •hose death in the cannon’s mouth. I 'ire In Xewnan! “Long may she wave, and her shadow never grow less.” In the same issue of his paper Broth er Speer takes occasion to say some eery kind things of Tiie Herald and Advertiser, also; but our native mod esty impels us to disclaim a great part »f the glory accredited to us. As a matter of fact, no formal canvass for subscriptions has yet been made in the interest, of a cotton factory; though it will be made soon, and when finally undertaken we expect to show even more than $50,000 as a result of the first day’s canvass. If Brother Speer will keep his eye on Newnan he will have frequent cause for surprise. ar New Superintendent of Public Schools.

Dispatch paysthe j following graceful tribute to the wife of Georgia’s distinguished Governor: The wife of Gen. Gordon is a woman j at whose feet the greatest of earth | might bow, and think it an honor. If | ever there breathed a noble woman, if j ever there lived a devoted wife, that j woman and that wife is Mrs. John B. Gordon. From the time her husband j entered the war to the day he emerged ; from its sufferings, its dangers and its 1 glories, she was ever at his side. In the thick of the battle she was near by to watch him; in his hour of desponden cy she was there to console a nd encour age him: in all his awful sufferings shy was his faithful nurse and best physi cian; and in the hours of his triumphs she was the first and last to congratu late and to cheer him. Surely, greater wifely love and devotion than this no angel ever recorded. Truly, to possess such; love and devotion is to enjoy Heaven’s highest boon. Long may she live to enjoy her brightest reward, her husband’s grateful love; and long may he live to reward her. HARDAWAY & HUNTER.

I am a Jew, and ! do not believe that any man, be he Jew | or Gentile, can take this question be-1 fore God and the bar of his own con science without feeling that truth, jus tice, righteousness and humanity" are on theside of prohibition. Prohibition is no longer an experiment. The fruits of it during the last two years in Atlan ta, and especially during the last ten days, have satisfied everv man whose conscience is not dead. I was for five vears a traveling salesman for a liquor house, and my observation and expe rience in the business convinced me that the traffic is iniquitous, ruinous to the country, and should be extermi nated.” Will sell all-wool Jeans for 30c. per yard.
