Avery, the jeweler, is having a tre

Bev. J. M. Haisten and family, who
moved from this county to Texas about
a year ago, have returned, and if luck

native Georgian upon that style of civi

Patronize the concert to-night. It
is given for the exclusive benefit of
Mechanics’ Brass Band and deserves
encouragement,- The members of the
band have never asked the public for a
dollar in the way of subscriptions or
donations, preferring always to give
value received for such benefits as our
people may feel inclined to contribute
from time to time in fhe' way of legiti
mate patronage, and they are entitled
to generous appreciation.
One of the handsomest Christinas
presents that we have seen is a mas

Avery, the jeweler, for a pirt^ in In

miniature lock and key, and is designed
as a nuptial token. There are eight
gold bangles attached, each of a differ-
entdesign, and each a gem of the en
graver’s art. It is the handwork of Mr.
II. 8. Banta, and a moro beautifully
wrought trinket we have seldom seen.

our oldest and best-known citizens,
having resided here for nearly half a
century. During his long life he en

his last fatal illness having never suf

character. He joined the Baptist
church during the revival last summer,
and died triumphant in the faith which
he so earnestly professed on that mem

oldest person ever received into the
membership of that church. He was

The tables were arranged in groups—
a large one in the center being occu

attendance, while numerous smaller
ones were set apart for the use of the

were exceedingly tasteful and pretty,
and the menu simply irreproachable.
Mrs. Arnall, the charming hostess of
the evening, was unremitting in her at

everything, eatable or eookable.

About one year ago Capt. Tom
Jones made a novel proposition to the
Presbyterian Sabhath-school. He pro
posed to to give each teacher and pupil
a nickel, which they wer« | lirected to in
vest in sucli manner as they might see
fit, the investment to be turned over
as often as possible while in their pos
session, and at the end of the year
to render an account of their steward
ship. The year is now drawing to a
close and Tuesday night next has been
appointed for a general reunion of the
teachers and pupils, at which time a
strict account will be given of the
year’s operations and final settlement
made. The amount originally donated
was about $5, and it is believed that the
aggregate profits accruing to the sev
eral investors during the term of their
stewardship will reach, if it does not
exceed, $200. It is designed that the
sum thus raised shall constitute a
special Sunday-school fund, to be dis
posed of as a majority may direct at
the meeting next Tuesday night. It
■will be a novel and interesting occasion.
Newnan Wins Again.
On Sunday last, at the residence of
the bride’s mother in Fairburn, Rev.
G. W. Duval officiating, Mr. Charles
D. Crane, of this city, was united in
marriage to Miss Virginia McKown, of
the former place. The attendants
were—
Mr. C. F. Mejer, of Newnan. with
M iss Daisy McKown, of Fairburn.
Mr. D. II. Floyd, of Newnan, with
Miss Mattie McKown, of Fairburn.
The groom was accompanied from
our town by quite a party of friends,
headed by Messrs. J. F. Sponeler and
D. P. AVoodroof. On their appearance
the delightful little town of Fairburn
surrendered unconditionally, and the
invading party took peaceable posses
sion.
The groom is one of our very best
young men, a true Christian in every
sense, and one who numbers his friends
by tin* score. The br : de is a most es
timable lady, whose goodness of heart
is only equaled by her superior accom
plishments, and we cordially extend to
both our hearty congratulations, wish
ing for them, as each deserve, the
pleasures ol' unalloyed happiness.
