ADVERTISER. | VOL. XXIII. NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1888. NO. 16. IL C. ARNALL, President. J. A. IIl’NTER, YICK-Pr ESI DENT. H a FISHER, Sec’y & Trkas SEASON OF 1888! THE COWETA FERTILIZER COMPANY, FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS. 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 Such a badge won’t cost much, The Misses Goldsmith, of Atlanta, ; when the whistle blew.” About tin* are expected this week to visit Misses, time the minds of fanatics North and Willie Elder and Emma Hunter. \ South became so “uneasy” that ncifli- !

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.

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.

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 boy. ’ R. A. T. Jan. 31th. Panther Creek. 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. Messrs.

Miss Carrie Ballard left this morning for a visit to friends in Oxford, Ga. She will be absent some time. Capt. H. C.

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 thence to be heard of nevermore. 1 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. Puckett Station. Mr. Editor:—Aliss Susie Young has returned from a visit to Cedartown Aliss Susie Brooks accompanied her home. Airs. Mattie Camp was summoned to the bedside of a very sick brother last week in Baker county, near Newton We hope to see her return soon, for the Sunday-school misses one of its most faithful members.

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. Feb. 1st.* ' Ru'I’LE.*. 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.” . J. W H.unter, mk r. AGENTS : Bowers, Arnold.
