Austin, one of our oldest and most respected citizens, ha6 been prostrated for several days with a se vere illness, and at this writing we re. gret to know there is very little pros pect of improvement in his condition. Mr. Austin is now in his 82d year, and owing to extreme age and feebleness his recovery will be necessarily slow. The rapscallion who despoiled our hen-coop last week, instead of “taking the consequences” with which we threatened him, seems to have pre ferred chickens.

At the regular communication of Coweta Lodge, F. A. M., last Tuesday night the annual election for officers was held, with the following result: G. L. Johnson, W. M. ^ Y. H. Thompson, S. W. P. C. Johnson, J. W. W. A. Mitchell, Sec’y. E. D. Fouse, Treas. S. L. Favor, S. D. J. E. Dent, Jr., J. D. T. J. Barron, Tyler. 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. Sam Hill “ 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. r° ^ „ >11S8 CAKKIE GOOD HUM. 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- tou, where the groom has been for sev eral years a prominent and prosperous merchant, and whither the best wishes of our people accompany them. While we regret to lose so lovable and charming a lady from our midst, it is some consolation to know that Newnan’s loss is Thomaston’s gain. office, therefore, he does so with the j consciousness of having performed his duties faithfully and well, and will carry with him the best wishes and es teem of his fellow-citizens generally.

Prof. J. Cuthbert SheQiit, of Augus ta. who was recently tendered, and ac 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. Lyman H. Ford, of Spartanburg, S. C., 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 a -B-Tront 1 The Ancient Order of United.
