We had the pleasure yesterday of
meeting Mr. R. II. Foos, of Springfield,
Ohio, who is making a tour of the South

Clark Fisher, a well-known colored
man of this place, went to Bolton a few
weeks ago to work for the Chatta
hoochee Brick Company. The main
building of the camp caught fire last
Monday night and was entirely con
sumed. Fisher was very active in his
efforts to suppress the flames, and while
ascending a ladder was struck on /he
head by a falling brick and instantly
killed. The remains were brought to
Newnan Tuesday night and on Wed
nesday were interred in the colored
cemetery. Deceased leaves a wife and
several children.
Messrs. A. E. Edmundson and Ad
Beavers engaged in an altercation last
Friday night about 11 o’clock, when
Beavers drew a pistol and shot Ed
mundson three times—two balls pass
ing through the left arm and the third
entering just below the left nipple. At
first it was feared that the injuries in
flicted would result fatally, but under
the skillful treatment of Dr. G. W.
Peddy the wounded ruan is now doing
well and making rapid headway to
wards recovery. It was a most unfor
tunate affair and is generally regretted
in the community. No arrests have
been made.

Similar requests were telegraphed to
the other committeemen, Messrs. N.

We regret to announce the death of
Mr. Geo. Booth, of Lodi, which occur

Englislmian by birth, but hud been a
citizen of this country for several years,
residing at Fall River, Mass., until two
years ago, when he came South to take
the position of superintendent of Sar
gent’s factory. In this position he was
invaluable, his long experience in cot
ton manufacturing rendering him thor
oughly expert in every branch of that
important industry, and his services
will be greatly missed by his late em
ployers. His remains were interred at
Liberty the following afternoon, serv
ices at the grave being conducted by
Dr. Stacy. _

Opera House to-night for the benefit of
the Newnan Library will commend it
self to our people, we feel assured,
the object as well as the merits of the
entertainment being such as to warrant
a full house and an appreciative audi
ence. Misses Hahr and Evans are ac
knowledged artists in their respective
roles, the splendid musical accomplish
ments of one being equaled only by the
superior vocal gifts of the other, and if
there were no other consideration, the
assistance so kindly proffered on this oc

ly generous recognition. A most attrac
tive programme has been arranged, and
we can safely promise that no one who
attends will be disappointed.

Three Men Killed by a Boiler Explo
sion in Hogansville.
Tuesday morning at 5 o’clock a dis
astrous boiler explosion occurred in the
engine-room of the Hogansville Oil Mill,
killing three men and badly wrecking
the engine-house. The names of the
unfortunate men (all of whom were col
ored) were James Jones, James Hardin
and George Hinton. Jones’ body was
hurled a distance of fifty feet, and all
the bodies were mangled most horri
bly. A large oak tree standing in close
proximity to the engine-house was torn
up by the roots.
The cause of the disaster is involved
in mystery. There are several attend
ant circumstances that point to a prob
able cause, but unfortunately in this, as
in most other boiler explosions, not
enough is known to make any one
cause certain. The foreman of the
mills, Mr. Johnson, says there were
two gauges of water in the boiler when
the mills stopped running at 9 o’clock
Monday evening. He knows this to be
true, because he made a personal in
spection at the hour indicated. Two
negroes slept in the engine-room Mon
day night, but whether they kept the
fires going all night is not known. If
they did. this would have evaporated
the water to a dangerously low point,
which might possibly have been over
looked by the fireman next morning.
A brakeman and the engineer of the
morning freight which passed Hogans
ville between 3 and 4 o’clock say that
the boiler was fired up at that hour.
It was near 5 o’clock when the explo
sion took place; so that if the safety-|
valve had stuck in its seat—a tiling that j
does not often occur—the water, being j
held perfectly still by pressure, could j
have absorbed heat enough to have '
converted it all into steam as soon as j
anything occurred to disturb the quiet j
of the water. Anything like the sud- :
den opening of the throttle-valve, or I
even the sudden lifting of the safety- j
valve after the boiler had been stand
ing for some time with steam up. would
have produced sufficient disturbance j
to have caused the explosion. In sup- j
port of this, theory it may be stated!
that at least three-fourths of the. ex-,
plosions occur when the engine is j
standing still. Two responsible citi-.
zens of Hogansville, living in the vicin- j
ity, say they distinctly heard a hissing ;
sound a few seconds before the explo
sion.
The two ends of the boiler were ,
blown out, but we understand that it 1
was otherwise uninjured. It is fortu
nate that the boiler was made of good j
material, else the probabilities are that |
not a wall of the building would have I
been left standing. As it was, the wall j
within two feet of the boiler was not j
even cracked by the explosion.
The total loss is estimated at $1,500.;
An order for a new boiler has been giv- •
en the R. D. Cole Manufacturing Com-1
panv, and the mills will be running !
again in a few days.

We offer our entire stock of goods,
consisting of dry goods, notions, dress

The State Alliance.
Mr. Editor:—Please announce in your

Th« Cotton Crops of 1847 and 1887.
Mr. Editor:—The crops in northwest
Coweta are about gathered and, upon
the whole, are as good as they ever
were. Except the damage done by
the July rains, I know they are. All
river and big creek bottom crops suf
fered more or less from the floods. All
along the Phillips’ ferry road the cot
ton crop has averaged from eight to
fourteen bales to the mule, and conse
quently most of the farmers are in
good humor and fine spirits, seeming
anxious to try their hands at another
crop.
In 1847, if I remember aright, the
Panther Creek district made only 105
bales of cotton, but the crop of the
present year is several fold above that.
What an improvement in cotton cul
ture, and agricultural success generally,
the past few years in Coweta county !
In the spring of 1849 I heard Hon.
Hugh A. Haralson, at Anderson’s ho
tel in Newnan, say that a short time
before he was going the road from
Newnan to LaGrange, and passing a
large farm in this county when the
hands were going out from dinner in
considerable numbers, he asked one of
them how many hands worked on the
farm. The reply was. “Forty-three.”
“And how many bales of cotton did
you make last year?” “Forty-one,”
was the answer. Forty years have
worked wonders in cotton culture in
old Coweta. Occasional.
Sere and Yellow Poetry.
The melancholy days have come when hun
gry folks pursue
The solitary oyster in the limpid church fair
stew.
The melancholy days have come, the saddest
of the year,
Though fatted game is coming in and much
remairs to cheer.
The north wind stills the piping of the philo
sophic frog,
While the rabbit dreads the yelping of the
sere and yellow dog.
The melancholy days have come; election
time is nigh.
And sad, defeated candidates will soon begin
to sigh,
And many a little well-beloved and gently
nurtured boom
Will soon be passing In its checks and hark
ing from the tomb. -

Mr. Editor;—Everything quiet and
news scarce in this part of the moral
vineyard. Farmers are generally
through gathering, and the result is a
short cotton crop.
Mr. Dick Bob Miller, of Palmetto,
was mingling with old friends in these
parts recently.
John Robert Gilbert Upchurch, of
Gwinnett county, was in our neighbor
hood a few days since, visiting kins
folk.
Mr. W. T. Cannon, of Puckett Sta
tion, spent last week in Campbell
county.
“Ripples” was down this way last
Sunday a week ago. I did not learn
Ins business, but presume he was in
quest of another good dinner. How
ever, it is doubtful if lie succeeded in
obtaining it, unless he made a raid on
Dr. Cogswell’s garden farm, near Hill’s
crossing.
Mr. and Mrs. Win. Cannon have the
sympathies of the entire community in
the loss of their little babe, which died
on the 25th ult. Uncle Jim.
