Mr. Wm. Austin, one of our oldest

Mr. Austin is now in his 82d year, and
owing to extreme age and feebleness his
recovery will be necessarily slow.

The Gigantic Railroad Show exhib
ited here last Tuesday. It was a very
good show of the twenty-five cent va
riety, though even at that figure it
hardly came up to popular expectation.
The “vast animal aggregation” so
grandiloquently advertised comprised
a pair of consumptive looking monkeys,
a venerable elephant of the crop of 1800
or thereabout, a bear, half a dozen
performing dogs, four horses, and a
ticket agent. The circus annex was
somewhat better, if possible.
We understand that the families of the
three unfortunate men who lost their
lives by the boiler explosion in Hogans-
ville last week have through their coun
sel. Messrs. R. 1. O’Kelly and L. N.
Mercier, instituted suit for damages
against the Ilogansville Oil Mill Com
pany. ^
By reference to the published ap- ^
pointments of the North Georgia Con-
ferenec it will be seen that Rev. W. R.
Foote has been returned to Newnan
for another year. This announcement
will be received with sincere pleasure
by the many friends of that gentle
man, and we rejoice with them.
On Monday last a creditor’s bill was
filed against J. S. Thomas, a prominent
merchant of Ilogansville, praying for
the appointment of a receiver. The
bill was filed at the instance of
Arnold, Carlton & Co., Moore,
Marsh & Co. and Edwin Bates & Co.,
w r ho are creditors to the amount of
about $3,000. There are other claims
amounting to $2,000 or $2,500. The
total assets are estimated at something
less than $5,000. The motion was argued
before Judge Harris at Carrollton on
Monday last, Col. Geo. A. Carter rep
resenting the creditors and Col. W. A.
Post appearing for Thomas.
From the number of wagons that are
daily loaded with furniture at Thomp
son Bros, it would seem that the coun
try would soot, be supplied; but Mr.
Young Thompson says that when one
man carries home a load of furniture
he tells his neighbors what bargains he
got. and the neighbor comes after a
load and tells his neighbor; and so on,
from neighbor to neighbor, until theii
trade reaches our many counties. W e
j hope their business will continue to
grow, until Newnan becomes one of
i the leading furniture marts of the
ed—so much so that Bhe was frequent
ly encored. By request, the concert was
repeated on Saturday night, and it was
in all respects as enjoyable as the pre
vious night’s entertainment, and as ex
cellently rendered.
Mrs. M. P. Lundi, whose late pro
tracted illness has been mentioned in
these columns from time to time, died
last Sunday afternoon, in the 78th year
of her age. She had been an invalid
for several months prior to her last fa
tal sickness, suffering from such a com
plication of ills that little hope of her
recovery was really entertained at any
time; yet the announcement of her
death was none the less shocking on
this account, and was heard with pro
found sorrow by her mauy friends in
the community. She leaves a numerous
family to mourn her loss, who have our
sympathy in their bereavement. The
funeral took place Monday afternoon,
from the residence of Dr. A. J. Lyn
don, and was largely attended.
Mr. Samuel Akers, a young man liv
ing on Mr. W. B. Orr’s place, met with
a shocking accident last Saturday after
noon. Assisted by his father and a
younger brother he was engaged in
packing a bale of cotton, using an old-
fashioned hand-screw for this purpose.
Just as the last turn had been given
and preparation was being made to fas
ten the ties, one end of the lever broke.
The rebound was so great the remain
ing end flew around with lightning
rapidity, it being impossible to hold it.
Before the unfortunate young man
could get out of the way the revolving
beam struck him with terrific force
against the side of the face and head,
knocking out several teeth and shat
tering the jaw-bone. The wounded
man was attended by Drs. Davis and
North, who found the injury to he
quite serious; hut under their skillful
treatment it is hoped that he will soon
recover. The broken bones have been
set and the sufferer is doing as well as
could be expected.
It becomes our painful duty this
week to chronicle the death of Mrs. R.
T. Johnson, which occurred at her
home in this city on Sunday afternoon
last, after a lingering and painful ill
ness. Deceased was one of our most
popular and estimable ladies, and
greatly beloved by all who knew her.
Though a severe sufferer for many
months previous to her death, she bore
her afflictions with a fortitude that evi
denced in a striking manner her strong
Christian character, and accepting
death’s final decree with a resignation
that left no doubt as to her triumphant
faith in the redeeming grace of that
blessed Saviour whom she had served so
long and so well. She leaves three
children and a heartbroken husband,
who have the sympathies of the entire
community in their bereavement. The
funeral occurred Monday afternoon, at
the Baptist church, services being con
ducted by Rev. .T. H. Hall, after which
the remains were laid to rest in the
city cemetery.
The concert to be given at the Opera
House next Friday night for the benefit
of Mechanics’ Band promises to be one
of the most enjoyable entertainments
that our people have had the pleasure of
attending this season, and that it will be
liberally patronized is equally certain.
The programme will consist of solos,
duets and quartets,vocal and instrumen
tal ; vocal and cornet duet; recitations by
our best local talent; overture by the
band, etc. Two pianos will be used.
Besides the members of the band,
the following ladies will take part in
the entertainment: Mrs. Jeff Smith
of Atlanta, Miss Bunnie Trimble of
Hegansville, and Misses Lizzie and
Lillian Dent, Callie Ilill, Annie Pow
ell, Laura Daniel and Jimmie Lou
Thompson, of this city. The proceeds
of the concert will be applied exclu
sively to the payment of a debt incurred
bv the band some time ago in coiuplet- j
ing its equipment, and we hope they ;
will be greeted with a full house next
Fridav night.
Fully 90 per cent, of the company s
claims on account of sales has been
collected, and the small amount now
outstanding is in such shape that it
can be easily secured before January
1st. .
The guano manufactured by this
compifhy has given eminent satisfac
tion the past season, producing fine re
sults wherever used. Orders are com
ing in every day from different;portions
of the State, and it is already evident
that the demand will largely exceed
the sales of any previous season. It is
concededlv the cheapest strictly high-
-r.ule fertilizer manufactured in the
State, and it may be remarked as a sig
nificant circumstance that the heaviest
orders for the coming season have been
received from those sections where the
guano has been tested. The sales for
1888 will approximate 3,000 tons.
The City Election.
The city election last Saturday was
one of the quietest and least exciting
that has been held in Newnan since
war. There was but one ticket, and
the unanimity with which it was sup
ported evidenced the popularity of the
several gentlemen who composed it in
a manner that must have been gratify
ing to their friends as well as to them
selves. The ticket, as elected, is as fol
lows:
For Mayor—J. S. Powell.
For Councilmen—T. G. Farmer and
B. T. Thompson.
For Members of Public School Board
R. D. Cole, Jr., J. T. Carpenter,
Daniel Swint and W. A. Dent.
Mayor-elect Powell, being a member
of the present Board, will tender his
resignation before assuming the duties
of his new office. His successor will
be elected by the new Board.
Mayor Berry’s administration for
four years past has been wise, con
servative and econominal, and his fi
delity to the interests of the town has
been so conspicuous at all times asto win
for him the fullest confidence and ap
proval of the people.

“ Then- was a glittering array of bridal
presents, comprising, many articles o 4
usefulness and value, from scores of
admiring friends. Owing to our limited
space it is not practicable to give tin
list complete; but there was one pres
ent that deserves special mention, and
we insist upon noticing it. We refer to
the elegant silver water service pre
sented bv the members of the Metho
dist church, as a slight testimonial ot
their appreciation of the services so
faithfully rendered by the bride as or-
<r‘ a nist of the church for two or three
years past. It is an elegant piece ot
silverware, and bears the following ap
propriate inscription:
“M E. CHURCH, (SOUTH) NEWNAN.

We feel sure no single article pre
sented will be more highly prized by
the bride, and no article given was ac
companied by a heartier good will on
the part of the donors.
The bridal party left on the noon
train for their future home in Thomas-

eral years a prominent and prosperous

Prof. J. Cuthbert SheQiit, of Augus

cepted, the position of superintendent
of our public schools, resigned a few
days ago, and at the regular meeting | c
of the Board last Tuesday night Prof.

was elected to fill the vacancy. Prof.
Ford has had many years’ experience
in teaching the graded system, and
comes to us highly recommended by
the school authorities and citizens of
Carriage and Buggy
Works.
Next to the cotton factory, Now-
nan’s latest and most important en
terprise is a carriage and buggy fac
tory. It will be under the immediate
supervision of Messrs. Parks & Ar
nold, one of our most substantial and
enterprising business firms, who have
already' completed arrangements that
will insure the establishment of a first-
class factory, in all of its depart
ments. Mr. J. W. Ware, for fifteen
years foreman of Summers & Murphy’s
carriage works at Barnesville, Ga., will
have charge of the mechanical depart
ment. Mr. Ware Is conceded to be the
finest carriage builder in the State, and
it is well understood that the reputa-
tation achieved by his late employers
is almost wholly due to his superior
workmanship and management. He
will move to this city with his family
early in January, at which time active
operations will be commenced.
The second story of the building for
merly occupied by Thompson Bros., on
the north side of tin; square, will be
used as the painting and trimming de
partment. The repository will be on
the first floor. The old stable building,
near the Baptist church, will be over
hauled and used for wood and black
smith shops. Four forges will be
needed to start with, but it is* expected
that this number will soon be increas
ed. Steady employment for fifteen or
eighteen hands will be furnished.
The enterprise is backed by ample
capital, and the character of work that
the company purposes turning out will t *
be first-class in every respect. i A 0 u w
