Senoia.
Mr. Editor:—One week of beautiful,
sunny weather ! Who does not feel
thankful for such a blessing? Even the
heart of an infidel should feel thankful.
The fanners are now busy putting in
for the lost time and labor occasioned
bv the wet weather.
The guano business is beginning to
boom, and I suppose that means the
planting of a large cotton crop to, pay
for flour, corn and meat bought on
time by the farmers.
In our announcement, last week, of
the marriage of Mr. Gwinn and Miss
Urquliart, we were a little too previous
about the officiating minister. It was
Dr. S. B. Cousins, of Luthersville, that
did the welding.
Both of our schools are in a flourish
ing condition—the attendance being
near two hundred. Senoia is certainly
abreast of the times in this particular,
as is evidenced by honorable positions
now occupied by many of her former
pupils, and the prospects are that she
will maintain the high standard of her office.
was a most excellent lady, ever
adorning the doctrine of her Savior,
in whom she has long trusted. An af
fectionate husband and six children
are left to mourn the loss of one most
dear to them. The family, church and
community are deeply bereaved in the
loss of Mrs. Hmdsman. After the
funeral sermon, the remains were gen
tly lowered into the grave at Holly
Springs. May God’s blessing attend
and rest upon the bereaved.
A few days since a gentleman from
these parts visited the city of Newnan,
not knowing that he bore any resem
blance to a councilman of that city. To
his surprise a countryman called him
to one side, and asked for a per
mit to get a little “see double.” Al
lowing that mistakes may be made, but
how a countryman, and one who pre
sents no “peach bloom sign,” should
be thus beseiged is somewhat amazing
and amusing. I think our visitor is of
opinion that Newnan wants one other
thing added to the list of needs, and
that is that her councilmen be required
to exhibit in some way an insignia of

Mr. J. A. Hunter, of your city, visited
us Monday.
There is a nice old widower in our
neighborhood, who wants to know if
there is a kind-hearted widow in quest
of an industrious mate ; if so, apply
immediately.

already attained.
Air. W. T. Arnall is actively engaged
in the mule trade vs. Texas ponies. He
leaves to-day for Atlanta, and will re
turn the last of the week with a fresh
supply. Those in need will find him
ready to furnish.
Mr. S. O. Smith is very communica
tive at this time. It is a Norman colt
at his house, and he has oceans of guano
which he offers to the public at reason
able prices—and, in addition, there is
E. W. Leach, W. F. Sibley, C. F. and
.1. A. Sasser, and J. T. Jones, who are
all prepared to supply any demand in
the guano trade at prices according to
quality of goods. They deal in the
best.
There has been an itinerating case of
mumps going up and down the Savan
nah, Griffin and North Alabama Rail
road for several days, and if it
has not innoculated quite a number
of spectators, then we shall be very
agreeably surprised.
Mrs. J. O. Towns is on an extended
visit to her son, Terry Towns, in At
lanta. She is now grandma. Our res
ponsibility for young married folks has
long since ceased.
Miss Carrie Ballard is visiting friends
in Oxford, Ga., and may extend her
visit to Tennessee.
Otis Jones, M. H. Couch, and C. F.
Sasser are visiting Griffin to-day.
Mr. Thos. Duffy has been in feeble
health for some time, and we regret to
know that his condition has not much
improved.
Col. W. W. Hardy is able to be on
the streets and we trust he will soon
regain his wonted strength.
Mr. R. R. Metlivin had the misfor
tune to lose a valuable milch cow this
morning—quite a serious calamity to
his household.

and might prevent embarrassments of
this kind in future.
Accepting and sharing the hospitali
ties of one bom and raised in this com
munity, I could but conclude that Turin
had contributed some real worth to
the city of Newman in the way of citi
zens. Such a man and gentleman as
the President of the Coweta Fertilizer
Company is an accession of which any
town may be proud. And hard by, the
graceful wife of our esteemed friend
sprang into being and charming wo
manhood, and, like the noble husband,
should share equal meed of praise.
Judge Glenn O. Wynn, from feeble
ness of age, accidentally fell into the
fire on his hearth a few days since, and
was seriously but not fatally burned.
Mr. Fred Hunter, who never likes to
be left behind, took in a case of the
most pretentious mumps that ever
jowded a fellow of his cleverness.
The foot-race between Col. Ingram
and W. W. Camp, Esq., is deferred tin
til the ground hardens.
Mr. Blake Shell has a child under
treatment for dropsy, wdiich Dr. Gay
pronounces a sequel of diseases—just
what may be said of all fevers, pains,
not diseases per se, but a consequent.
Well, Mr. Blake Shell can rejoice
again, for he is happy over another fine

Mr. Editor:—Dr. J. R. Sewell was
called home last week to the bedside of
bis little sick boy, Howard, and did all
in his power, with the aid of Dr. John
Starr, to relieve the little sufferer, but
the white-winged angel came and bore
the little spirit to Him who said : “Suf
fer little children to come unto Me and
forbid them not, for of such is the
kingdom of Heaven.” To the discon
solate parents we tender our sincere
sympathy'.
Mr. D. A. Power has been quite sick
with influenza, but is better at this
writing.
Sorry to learn that Mrs. J. M. Glass
is very sick.
There are several new babies around
among the neighbors.
Madame Rumor says there will be
a wedding in our neighborhood soon.
I know one thing, and that is there are
several waiting for a chance to quit the
lonely walks of single life. The Lord
told Adam when he was a boy r that it
was not good for a man to be alone. 1
think it is a great deal worse for a wo
man to be alone. But the worst of all
is an old, cross, peevish man with a good
wife. The wife should not throw more
out at the window with a spoon than
her husband can shovel in a the door.

Mr. Editor:—Information was receiv
ed here last week of the serious illness
of Dr. (V D. Couch, of Newton, Ga.
Dr. Couch has many relatives and
friends here who wish him an early
recovery.
The latest social event of our town
was a pleasant sociable, at the hospita
ble home of Air. J. T. Jones, on AI011-
day evening last.
Miss Annie Jones, of Grantville, Ga.,
is visiting in Senoia this week, the
guest of the Misses Sims.
Miss Carrie Ballard left this morning
for a visit to friends in Oxford, Ga. She
will be absent some time.
Capt. H. C. Fisher, of your city, was
in town last week in the interest of the
Coweta Fertilizer Company. ' -
Air. W. B. Edwards was at home a

The ladies of the AL E. Church, at
this place, have organized a parsonage

for the aforesaid farmers determined
to build and finish it still. They re
duced the stock to one-half, and -sub
scribed money enough (as they thought
| to finish it all the way to where it had
1 started to go. Unfortunately, such
high wages had to be paid to the at
taches, and so many brass buttons had
to be bought, that somehow, “they
say,” the road had to he placed in the
paternal hands of the Central road

know at least one orphan whose entire
estate was invested in the stock of the
road, and many others who are very
nearly ruined by this—what do you
call such things? You must not jsay
“steal,” or “swindle,” for these word-
are actionable, and there are (so they
say) twenty-seven lawyers in your town.
So, what is it? New-fashioned hones
ty ?—or what ?
Farewell, poor little railroad !
Why, O why will not the farmers
stick to their legitimate business, which
is to reserve their lands for the benefii
of the colored niggers and the people
who inhabit the towns. Take warning
in time, farmers, and let the railroad*-
go, and “take up the shovel and tin-
hoe.” This is the sincere wish of y our
friend, AY. O. L.

I learn from Esquire II. M. Head,
who lives near Comity, Line, just across
the river, that a young man by the
name of Lang was shot by a negro,
name not known, near Alt. Zion, Doug
las county, last -Saturday night. It
seems that Lang was acting as constable
and that a warrant had been placed in
his bands to execute, and,he summoned
two men to assist him in making the ar
rest. While the negro was under guard
lie asked to step out, and Air. Lang went
•with him. The negro, pretending that
something was wrong with lil- sus
penders, drew a pistol and shot young
Lang through the arm. He fired a
second time, the second ball entering
the arm near where the first one. had
entered, thus disabling La$gfrom using
hia arm or pistol. The other men ran
off and rhe negro made good his escape.
He is still at large, and is said to be a
dangerous negro. Lang searched the
negro when lie arrested him, but could
not find any weapon upon bis person.

A Romantic Marriage.
A Gainesville. Ga.. special to the At
lanta Constitution of Monday last give-
the following account of a pleasing epi
sode in which a well-known and popu
lar lady of Palmetto was a prominent
figure:
About 12 o’clock on yesterday (Sun
day) a number of gentlemen began *0
gather in the office of the Hunt house.
A little later Air. H. II. Davidson. -of
Murphy, N. C., dropped in and in a fen
minutes Rev. D. J. Myrick, pastor ol
tl.e Methodist church, put in his ap
pearance. From the movements of tin-
parties it was quite evident that some
thing important was about to transpire,
and as the thing began to materialize
it was plain that matters were “shap
ing” up for a first-class marriage. At
1 o’clock the occupants of the office
were invited to enter the parlor to wil
es- the tying of the “nuptial knot.’*
As he town clock registered 1 tin-
contracting parties, Mr. II. II. David
son. of Murphy. N. (’., and Mrs. S. J).
Strong, ot Palmetto. Ga.. walked into
rhe parlor and faced the minister,, who
began to pronounce thr impressive
ceremony which made them husbam:
and wile. As the last words of the
solemn ceremony died away and left ;■
tableau in the room the entire party
repaired to the dining room, where -m
sumptuous repast was served, which
made each and every one feel that i’
was well to be there.
Several years ago Air. Davidson met
Mrs. Strong in his travels, and with hfm
it was love at first sight: with her n
was different. They parted, each going
their wav. Some time after this Air.
Davidson met another lady, whom h
wooed, won and wed. They lived hap
pily together for a time, but death fi
nally claimed his wife and left him ii
widower. By chance lie was again
thrown with Airs. Strong, and the flame
of love v. a~ once more kindled in ht>
heart. Thinkingthat “faint heart never
I won fair lady,” he summoned up cour
age and decided to make another at
tack upon the idol of Ids heart. Thi-
assault found more favor than before,
and he bent his energies in trying t
capture the prize.
After corresponding for a long tine-
he decided to visit her at Gainesville,
where she was visiting Airs. Hunt, her
daughter, at the Hunt house. He ar
rived on Thursday, and sought at one
t lie object of Ins affections and poure- 1
out his soul into her ears. She yielded,
and at 10 o’clock on the day . of thei;
marriage they" fixed the hour itt 1
o’clock as the time J.or the happy
event.
Airs. Strong ha‘s many friends m
Georgia, who part with her reluctantly,
and wish her much joy and &\ happy
life in the “Old North state.” .
