His pulpit was occupied at night by Rev. .7. B. S. Davis, who entertained his congregation with an excellent dis course. Mr. J. S. Jackson returned last week from a month’s jaunt through Carroll and Haralson counties. He reports a large increase of mud, but very feeble are symptoms of a boom, in the section visited. Mr. J. H. Whiner, of the Fourth district, has made arrangements to go into business here, and will move his family to town at once. Mr. |Widner will make a good citizen and we are delighted to have him. Ladies desiring dresses made can find Mrs. Perkerson at her residence, near Mineral Spring. Mrs. Wells, of LaG range, is visiting here this week, the guest of her sister, Mrs. B. S. Askew. Mrs. Dr. Urquhart. and Mrs. E. O. Linch, from near Turin, were in the city last Tuesday. Mrs. Derrelle Du Bose, of Warrenton, Ga., arrived yesterday on a visit to her cousin, Mrs. R. M. Barnes.

Floyd’s store at Palmetto was burglarized last Monday night. This makes the fourth burglary committed in that town since Christmas, and it is not unlikely that the thieves will take it into their heads to make a descent upon Newnan some fine dark night. \t any rate, it will be well to keep a sharp lookout for them. From Mr. R. O. Broadwater we learn that numerous efforts have been made to capture Ben Terrell, the colored in cendiary, but so far without success. A pursuing party came within a few yards of him in Meriwether county two or three weeks ago, and although several shots were fired at him lie contrived to make his escape. He appears to be a slippery customer. our Su- The regular spring term ot perior Court is only a month off and promises to be one of the most impor tant sessions held for years.

Julius Magath, the Jewish preacher, and we daresay no congrega tion was ever more deeply impressed or edified. His discourse was eloquent, earnest and forceful, enlisting the closest attention of his hearers from first to last, and leaving no one in doubt as to his belief in the oracles em bodied in the New Testament. He i preached again at night and the at-J tendance was even larger than at the j morning service, the church being crowded from vestibule to altar. former 1 Owing to the continued an important witness for the defense, the case of the The State vs. E. W. Morgan, set for a hearing last Friday in the City Court, was postponed until the third Monday in February. Col. Peter W. Martin has been ap pointed special agent of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, with headquarters at Montgom ery, Ala., and left for that city on Monday last to enter upon his duties. The northbound freight on the At lanta and West Point road met with a serious accident near Palmetto this morning. Eight freight cars were de railed and the road will b& blockaded for several hours. It is a bad wreck. We had a pleasant call last Wednes day from Col. W. W. Randall, of the LaGrange Graphic, who is under obli gations never to pass Newnan without stopping, and we claim this as the first of a series of pleasant visits with which we hope to be favored in future. The Graphic is young yet—being now in its fourth week—but has secured already between five and six hundred subscri bers. II. Taylor, of Haralson, at tended a german given by the Grant- land Club in Griffin last Monday even ing. Dr. Stacy spent last Sunday at Pal metto, and regaled the good people of our sister town with two excellent ser mons. We made a bad break in giving the cotton quotations for this market last week. The figures should have been 9K$9f.' - The wheat prospect is unusually promising, and if the present favorable conditions are maintained the crop will be above an average. Farmers are busy sowing oats, and we understand alargei acreage than usual will be devoted to this crop. At a meeting of the cotton factory directors last W ednesday afternoon it was decided to leave the question of location to a vote of the stockholders. This fair for all parties, and insures a speedy and harmonious settlement of the matter. Messrs. L. S. Conyers and J. H. Wid- ener have leased the desirable stand on Bay street recently occupied by J. 8. Anderson, and in a few days will open up a select stock of fancy and family groceries. Both gentlemen are well known in the community, and it is hardly necessary to bespeak for them the liberal share of trade which they have a right to expect, because they will get it anyway. Mr. Walter Cunningham, a citizen of this place, but for several years past a resident of Bartow, Fla., ! died last Sunday. Deceased was a j member of the old Newnan Guards, one ! of the first companies in the State to j enlist in the cause of the Confederacy, j and followed the fortunes of this gal-! hint command throughout the war. He i made a splendid soldier, and his for-; mer comrades and friends here were J deeply grieved to learn of his death. The remains were brought to Newnan, arriving Tuesday afternoon, and were intered in our city cemetery. The funeral services were conducted by Dr. Stacy. We are deeply pained to chronicle the death of Mr. John Fouse, which occurred at the home of his son in this j city on Tuesday morning last, after a . short illness. Deceased was the father j of our fellow-townsman, Capt. E. D | Fouse, and has a host of relatives and : friends in Coweta and Carroll counties | who will be sincerely grieved to hear of his death. He was 82 years of age. and during his long life achieved a charac ter for uprightness, honesty, and integ rity that may be emualted, but cannot be excelled, and will be cherished as a priceless heritage by those who knew and loved him best. The funeral occurred Wednesday morning, services at the grave being conducted by Rev. W. R. Foote. Mrs. Elizabeth Word, who has been seriously indisposed for two or three weeks past, we are pleased to know is recovering.

If not you had better do so at once, as the seats are being taken rapidly. N ortli The early gardener has already com menced operations, and if no disaster befalls he will have a nice stand of veg etables by the time the March frosts come. The e. g. is one of the few dauntless creatures who does not profit by experience. Major W. J. Barnard, of Birming ham, Ala., spent, the early part of the week with his Newnan friends. The The concert to be given by the Men- delsshon Quintette Club next Monday night will be the most delightful enter tainment of the kind that our people have ever been privileged to enjoy, and we shall be as much disappointed as the company if they are not greeted by a full house. As there is but one Booth and one Patti, so there is but one Quintette Club, and to many of our people the concert next Monday night will be the opportunity of a lifetime. Major admits that Birmingham’s boom has weakened somewhat, but says there is enough life there yet to vital- j t . ize half a dozen towns. Messrs. Shelby Wilson and Milton Glover, two of our cleverest and best young men, have g< :ie to Gainesville for the purpose of engaging in the mer cantile business. We commend them most cordially to the good people of that city, and wish them the fullest success in their undertaking. There is nothing in that part of the State too good for them, and we are depending on our charming old bachelor friend, Major Butt, to see that they get what About six weeks ago, at Prospect, Tenn., a collision occurred on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. Sanford Huckabv, a well-known color ed man of this city, was a passenger on j one of the colliding trains and sustain ed injuries of a character that induced j him to bring an action against the road , for damages. He confided his griev ance to Col. P. F. Smith, who set to work at once to see what could be done in behalf of his client, and as a result of his energetic mediation the railroad company consented to pay $200 in full settlement of the claim. This propo sition was accepted by Huckabv and the case withdrawn. Major W. T. Wood, adjusting agent of the Louis ville and Nashville road, was in the city last Tuesday and promptly paid the amount agreed upon. COMPARATIVE WORTH or BAKING P0WDER& ROYAL (Abaolutety Pure)..
