He has the best all-round stock of spring novelties in town, and proposes to har- rass the hoys on prices during the sweet vernal solstice, or exhaust, himself in trying. We are requested by President Ar nall to state that the delay in filling orders for “Coweta High Grade” and “Aurora Ammoniated” guanos the past two w'eeks has been due to no neglect on the part of tlie company, hut to a failure to receive material required for the manufacture of these popular brands of guano.

Alexanders residence last Monday night, about 7 o’clock, and hut for the prompt and heroic efforts Yesterday afternoon as the passenger train on the Savannah, Griffin and North xVlabama Railroad w r as approach ing the trestle across White Oak creek the trucks under one of the freight cars broke dow r n, precipitating the car to the ground and completely block ading the track. Engineer Carroll de tached his engine from the train and came on to Newnan, W'here he soon procured a pair of trucks and return ed to the scene of the wreck. After considerable w r ork and worry the dis abled car w'as mounted on the trucks and put in traveling condition; but the train was delayed several hours in con sequence of the accident, and did not arrive here until after dark. Nobody hurt. When the Central Railroad made a proposition not long since to buy the minority stock of the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad, several of the shareholders discovered that their stock had been lost or mislaid. Upon communicating this fact to Pres ident Alexander he directed that affida vits be made certifying the number of shares so held and lost, in each case, and that bond be given in double the amount of the par value of the stock. Having complied with these conditions, and the bonds being approved by the hoard of directors, new' certificates of stock would be issued by the company, etc. The approval of the bonds thus submitted was the principal object of the directors’ meeting in Griffin last Monday, and as several of the parties interested reside in this community they will be pleased to learn that all the bonds submitted were approved by the hoard. We Would Like To Know Why it is that the Newnan hoys, as a rule, go off to get their w'ives w'hen we have so many pretty girls right here at home ? We call for an investigation. IIow' many candidates for the Legis lature Coweta will furnish this year. Which plan of nomination is prefer able to the Democratic voters of the county—a general primary, or the old ten-delegate system ? What becomes of all the mules and guano horns ? If a speaker may be said to have ac quitted himself of. an “able effort” merely because he saws the atmosphere with both arms and works himself into a steaming perspiration ? If cotton seed are not worth more to the farmers for fertilizing purposes than the price received for them from the oil mills? If farmer Abe Young can’t be induc ed to address the Agricultural Conven tion next August on the “Inutility of the State Agricultural Bureau, and the Evils of Perpetual Succession in Office ! ” Personal.

George is one of us having been reared in the old county. It is al ways a pleasure to greet him. John F.

Mr. Atkinson was one of the most prominent and leading members of the last Legisla ture. Hon. Alvan D. Freeman, of Newnan, is looking after the legal interests of liis Meriwether clients this week. We watched his fine intellectual face and easy manners the other day in the Court-room and thought Alvan would make a first class Congressman.

Meriwether Superior Couvt- The case of The State against James A. Cartwright, who was tried last week for murder, was concluded Saturday afternoon, and after an able and exhaustive charge to the jury by His Honor, Judge Harris, the jury retir ed to their room. They were out about thirty minutes, when they brought in a verdict of guilty with a recommenda tion to mercy. Those who heard it say that the speech of Col. H. M. Reid in this case was a grand effoit, and many expressions of high praise were made of his speech. On Tuesday evening of this week the defendant was brought into Court and Judge Harris, in a for mal way, passed the sentence of law upon him, which is imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary for life. The defendant received the sentence with indifference; but after adjourn ment of Court called the Judge to him and said, in substance, that he had much to say to the people, and felt as if he could talk a half a day, and want ed to say that he felt that he could not have done otherwise “than kill poor Johnson, for he saw in Johnson’s eyes that he would have killed him.” Cart wright spoke with earnestness while thus addressing the Judge. A motion for new trial has been made; hence the Court, as above stated, simply passed the sentence of the law upon the de fendant, without further remarks. Several cases of minor importance on the criminal docket have been disposed of during this week. On Tuesday the civil docket was taken up, and the business of the Court is being dispatch ed with the usual celerity attained therein. The present outlook is that the Court will continue throughout the week, and leave considerable business unfinished. Col. T. A. Atkinson invited Judge Harris, Cols. Peavv, Whitaker, Meth vin, Hill, and: the writer, to take tea with him on Tuesday evening of last week. Mrs. Atkinson had prepared a most elegant supper and the occasion was much enjoyed. May the Colonel and his good lady live long and pros per. Judge Harris is sturdily holding his own. His many friend are very much gratified that his health is so improved, and hope it will be permanent. GRAXTYIL1 E DOTS. A lot of Texas ponies were in tow.ni last week. Mrs. W. A.
