Newspaper Page TextTHE HERALD AND ADVERTISER. VOL. XXIII. NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 1888. NO. 22. FBOM OUR CORRESPONDENTS. Senoia. Mr. Editor:--Great excitement was created here yesterday (Tuesday) morn ing by the effort of some parties to ar rest two burglars. During Monday night parties broke open the store of I rank Norton, at Creswell, on the Savannah, Griffin and Nortli Alabama Railroad, eight miles this side of Griffin. The robbery was discovered early in the morning, and Mr. Norton, in company with Mr. Jones Bridges and Mr. James Bridges, started in pursuit and over took them inside the corporate limits •of our town, and called them to a halt. The pursuers were in a buggy and the burglars, one white man and one negro, were in a one-horse wagon, the same being driven by another negro. As soon as ordered to halt the white man and negro jumped out of the wagon, drew their pistols and began firing on their pursuers. The fire was returned by Messrs. Norton and Bridges, but, being poorly armed, it is not definitely known if the robbers ivere hurt. Mr. Norton received a very painful wound, from a pistol ball en tering near the hip-joint, passing around and lodging near the spine. The wound is not deep, but will lay him up for several days. The mule bitched to the wagon ran away and tore the wagon to pieces, breaking a demi john of liquor and scattering the bal ance of the stolen goods promiscuously. * In the meantime the burglars gave leg bail, and some fifteen or twenty of our citizens armed themselves with guns and pistols and started in pursuit—some on horseback and some on foot—and followed them through woods and fields, in a westerly direction, for sev eral miles, where they crossed the rail road and made for Keg Creek. When the pursuers reached that point, being worn down by the chase, they re turned. The Messrs. Bridges, believing the negro who drove the wagon to be an interested party, took him in charge and carried him back with them. The white man is of middle age, medium size and wears a sleek cap. The negro is stouter and of mulatto complexion. [Two men answering the above de scription were arrested last Wednesday night at Puckett Station by Messrs. Henry Couch, B. M. Couch and W. A. Brannon. They were brought to this city about 2 o’clock yesterday morning and turned over to Marshal Bobinson, who gave them lodgings in the cala boose. Yesterday morning Deputy ■Sheriff Bridges, of Spalding county, and Marshal Banks, of Senoia, came up after them. Deputy Sheriff Bridges identified both parties and they were turned over to lnm. The wjiite man is about the hardest looking case seen in these parts, and is evidently no novice in crime. Deputy Sheriff Bridges left on the afternoon train for. Griffin, taking his prisoners with him.—Edi tor.] Now let the public learn a lesson from this, that burglars are desperate fellow's. Load your guns with bullets instead of bird shot. These scamps w r ere supplied with the necessary tools for their work, some of which wore found, and are of the best quality. Somewhat on a line with our com ments last week, regarding our expen sive living, we mention an additional item which is greatly augmenting our already impoverished condition : the disposition made of the cotton seed. There has been shipped this season 19,500 bushels, which at 16c. per bushel amounts to $3,120. This amount of seed will turn out, say 278 tons of meal, which at $20 dollars per ton will be $5,560; for which the farmer pays $2,440 more than he gets for his seed. Now, is this not in keeping with the general suicidal policy of farming in this country ? I am glad to know’ that there are some noble exceptions to this rule. Show that my figures are wrong, if you can, and I w ill gladly • and most cheerfully correct them, or be corrected. Facts are stubborn things. By the use of twenty bushels per acre in seeding, how many acres would this 581,000 pounds of cotton seed fertilize ? Nearly one thousand acres. Do the farmers of Coweta sow that many in small grain ? Open your eyes and just see what you lose. There is no gain to you—it is loss ! loss ! ! loss ! !! What would this amount of cotton seed be worth to your corn crop ? All admit its value; nothing better. Why do you not use it ? Answer. TV hat is the acreage of your rye, oats and barley as a pasture crop ? Did you use any cot ton seed under these crops? Are there any clover patches in this county ? One of our best farmers told me a few r days ago that, while in company with a gentleman from a colder clime, he was asked if clover would grow here. He told him it would. The gentleman then asked, why don’t you raise it ? But my friend could not answer the question. Can any of the readers of Thf. Herald and Advertiser answer it V Oh, how I love my own native Georgia ! but how soon will the drap ery of lpourning be gathered about her? > How soon may we hang our harps upon fee willows ? May some unseen prov- *Vptial interference avert the impend- ro&lamity. Al this writing I entertain serious why it is done, and what end will be fears for the safety of the young fruit j served by so doing. It will not do crop. As a precautionary measure for j upon the ground that sorne other ap- tlie safety of fruit in the future, build propriation of a kindred kind has been log heaps and fire and keep them burn ing during the night, in such position that the air current would carry the heat and smoke over and among the trees. We had a short but pleasant call from J. B. Goodwyn one day this week. His kindly words encourage us. Messrs. E. W. Leach and A. G. Rawls visited Atlanta this week, but have returned safely. Mr. J. Y. Nolan says he is getting along as well as could be expected for one of his age and habits of life. It’s a boy. Vincent. March 14th. Puckett Station. Mr. Editor:—Mrs. L. C. Reynolds from Esom Hill is visiting relatives here. Dr. L. S. Young has been confined to his bed for several days. He is improv ing now. Mr. F. S. Cureton made a visit to Sunny Side this week on business. Misses Minnie Moore and Lou Camp, from the LaGrange Female College, were at home recently. Air. Arthur P. Camp was up on a short stay last week. Sorry to hear he has sickness in his family, but are glad that it is not of a serious natnre. Mr. TV. A. Drake was summoned to the bedside of his sick mother-in-law, in Paulding county, last week. He has returned, leaving her much improved. Dr. J. E. Thornton, from Luthers- ville, was in our town recently, doing some dental work. Mr. Billie O’Brien doesn’t smile very much—it’s a girl. Mr. W. D. Dennie, who has been very sick for several days, is able to be out again. J. C. Brannon has returned from Esom Hill, where he has been sowing oats. Jim can give a very interest ing account of his trip, in more ways than one. Mr. Walker G. Camp visited the fam ily of Mr. Arthur P. Camp, in Meri wether, this week. Little Gordon Bennett was taken sick last Monday, and is still quite ill, although better than he has been since the first of the week. Mr., Ernest Waltom, who has been confined to his bed for several weeks, is up again. Prof. Featherston and lady visited Newnan last week, and while there the Prof, was taken sick, on account of which we have no school this week. ever Hope to see him able to resume his du ties soon Dr. L. B. Webb, who lias just returned from the Medical College at Atlanta, has carried his “sheep-skin” to Corinth, Ga. That community may feel proud of their good luck in securing Dr. Webb as a physician. He is fully qualified in his profession, and we pre dict for him success in life. A difficulty occurred between Messrs. Jones and Lewis, at Bingham’s mill, on the morning of the 12th inst., in which Mr. Lewis (the miller,) used a knife very freely on Mr. Jones. The unfortunate affair grew out of the killing by Mr. Jones of Mr. Lewis’ dog while sucking eggs. Mrs. Lewis was talking to Jones about his having killed their dog, when Lewis stepped up be hind Jones and gave him an ugly cut in the back; whereupon Jones turned to Lewis and gave him a blow with his fist. Lewis went into the house, when he had sufficiently recovered. We will know how to appreciate a comfortable church, if we attend preaching a few more times at the present place of worship on as cold a day as last Sunday was. The “Frisky Will-o’-the-Wisp” seen by Mr. T. N. Bingham, Dr. R. A. Bal lard, and others, on Thursday night two weeks since, must have been the light of some rabbit hunters—at least, it seems very probable that is what it was. The light was carried in a pan, on a long board, making it appear to be about twelve feet from the ground ; then, too. when the light left the field it was first seen in. “we” went down a small stream towards Mr. Walker Camp’s. When the wheat grows a lit tle more, some pretty dark night “that light” will appear again, and “we” would like for those who were so wrought up by its appearance to ob serve and see if it is not a similar “will- o’-the-wisp.” ZlTBETTTS. March 15th. Turin. Mr. Editor:—I find the following statement going the rounds of the news papers : “The appropriation commit tee of Congress has reported favorably on the $400,000 appropriation asked for by the National Coloi^d People's Expo sition proposed to be held in Atlanta next fall.” This year is one of na tional politics, and it will not be hard for Congress to vate away the people’s money in order to catch votes. When the people’s money is to be appropri ated good reason should be given as to done. The exposition fund of New Orleans may have been supplemented by an appropriation of Congress, but what candid mind will admit that that speculation should have received such support. Individuals and large cities undertake these gigantic shows, under some pretense or other, with a view of filling their coffers from the public do main, not caring what goes with the people’s treasure. I am slow to admit that taxes extorted from the common people should thus be lavished out. Atlanta seems to be most fortunate in securing appropriations. On a recent trip to Holly Springs community I was informed of the death of Mr. Thomas Mitchell, an aged man, who die4 near Rocky Mount, Meri wether county. Deceased was father of Mrs. George Windham and Mrs. Hill, of Holly Springs. An aged com panion, several children and a number of grandchildren mourn the loss of one dear to them. Condolence to the be reaved. The farmers of Holly Springs are pushing ahead with their farm work, and like all other farmers, buying largely of guano and supplies for hands and stock. I reckon no class that con tract debts to the extent that farmers do, are more ready to pay up and meet their obligations than they. But, alas, debt they must and will plunge themselves. Combinations and mer chants may fail and but little will be said about it, but let the farmer fail and the cry is heard “dishonest,” “poor manager,” “just as might have been expected,” etc. Hence farmers should well appreciate their relations to the country and act accordingly, remember ing that upon them depends every other calling. The peach crop so far is thought to be uninjured. Mrs. B. W. Hardy is in declining health. Deacon Applewhite rejoices over another new member m his family, bearing the name of Robert. Mrs. L. R. Banks is still confined to her bed Mr. Richard Cole got even with the other boys by getting a case of mumps last week. Miss Tallulah Page left on Monday last for the Lone Star State. She stop ped over a few days in Atlanta and then resumed her trip. She goes to visit relatives in Texas, and will be absent several months. Her many friends wish her a safe and happy journey. Mr. John B. Shell, Jr., had the mis fortune to sprain an ankle a few days ago, which put him upon crutches. The mumps are still at work in these parts. Mrs. Sanders is on a visit to the city of Athens. R. A. T. March 14th. in this communitj*, and Panther Creek never sends a fellow out tnor to the Legislature.) until he is fully qualified for his calling. Mrs. J. B. Newton, of this district, boarded the train at Powell’s Station on last Tuesday morning for Centre, Cherokee county, Ala., where she goes to visit her son, Levi Newton. Mr. John Waites and his sister, Miss Lizzie Waites, of Floyd county, are attending our Superior Court as wit nesses in the Burkes case. I notice a young man crowding the season with a spring hat on. Our young folks enjoyed a “sociable” party at Mr. James Alsabrooks’ on last Tuesday night. The mumps have swelled Professor W. A. Allen’s school at Macedonia. Panther Creek can boast more tall men than any district in the county. We have five brothers who measure 6 feet 4 inches from the shoe soles; and then there is Joe Bui'ks, who lacks only four feet of measuring 7 feet. Be sides, there are many others who will go up to 6 feet. Our Farmers’ Alliance club is on a big boom and is the biggest lodge in the county—numbering 107 members. Mrs. Bonev Morris is quite sick. Bob Brown has a steer that ploughs just like a mule. Ripples. March 14th. Corinth. Mr. Editor:—Our little village is quiet and peaceful, only disturbed now and then by the sound of a shot-gun fired at the busy robins. The farmers mean business in this community. They seem to frown at the Saturday evening rains. Many of our farmers are still engaged in hauiing their guanos from Hogans- ville, which indicates more cotton. We mourn the loss of Dr. Wisdom, who was a faithful physician and a true citizen. We are glad to know that the people of Corinth and surrounding country take so great an interest in educational enterprises. Prof. M. J. Walker, principal of the Southworth Academy, has a fine school, numbering fifty or more pupils. Mrs. Henly, our accomplished music teacher, has quite a number of pupils highly in terested in music. IX. L. B. Webb is now permanently located in our village. We give him a hearty welcome. Mr. John I. Miller is preparing for the construction of a nice dwelling house in Corinth, adjoining lot to Mr. Hogan. Resident. March 12 th. Panther Creek. Mr. Editor:—Last Sunday was a cold day for going to meeting in the country, Soldier’s Reunion. Resolutions adopted at the last meet ing of the surviving veterans of the “Newnan Guards:” Resolved, That the Secretary be in structed to collect from the surviving members of the company seventy-five dollars, to be spent in the interest of the reunion of the 1st Georgia Regiment and 12th Georgia Battalion for 1888; pro vided, they select Newnan for their next place of meeting. Resolved, That a committee of five vivaciously by Miss Wier Lyndon. Her eyes sparkled, her color rose, and she looked like “McGregor on his native heath.” She rejoiced that there was no “Salic law” as to succession to the editorial throne, and was always proud to have a.“foeman worthy of her steel.” ‘ Remember,'” the said, "we have been compared to the irate Mrs. Tam O’Shanter, nursing her wrath to keep it warm. We had much rather be Mrs. than Mr. Tam;—lie was an acknowledg ed devotee of the ‘vile stuff.’ We have nursed it, and it is warm. My predeces sor ran his race like a comet; he gave us a John Gilpin ride. “ ‘John Gilpin rode with might and main, With might and main rode he; He los' his hat, lie lost his wig. And roused the whole countrie?’ ‘“Now is the winter of our discon tent made glorious summer’ by this golden opportunity to reply. We will wait till Congressman II , Senator G , and President II gain their titles before we pay them homage. I’ll admit they are one-third like Washing ton—‘first in war.’ Our time to rule will come when we make our debut in society as the beautiful and accom plished Misses So-and-so—(that’s true editorial style, isn’t?)—the first fruits of the public school. Our Superintend ent is expending the morning strength of his brilliant intellect upon us. We feel sure the Augustan Age is dawning again.” The above is only a specimen of the good-natured sparring indulged in by the bright young editress. Some friends encouraged us much by a timely visit. Come again, and bring others with you. The lecture was pleasingly varied. On the board was the name “Grace Darling,” an English heroine who sav ed many lives on the coast of her na tive land, September 6, 1838. A full history was given concerning this re markable character, including the testi monials of distinguished persons as to her heroism, etc. Then the parrallel exploit of Miss Minnie Freeman, a young teacher of Nebraska, was com mented on. By her presence of mind during a blizzard she saved the lives of thirteen children—her pupils. Tying them altogether by the arms, three abreast, and taking the youngest in her own arms, she led them safely three quarters of a mile. Three cheers for the plucky little woman ! Testimonials from various States have been showered upon her. Then the Superintendent invited our attention to “historic slang.” “Knock under,” “kicking the bucket,” “high as Gilderoy’s kite,” “mind your p’s and q’s,” “over the left,” “Judge Lynch,” etc. The interesting explanations as to the origin of each we will leave to another time.

The capitol tax, which is a separate assessment, foots up $3,197 90. There being no further business the Board adjourned. ‘Cousin and if a fellow had to have been bap- appointed as a committee of ar- ' ran^ements, said committee to act in conjunction with the committees that may be appointed by Company A, 7th Georgia Regiment, the Coweta County Confederate Veterans’ Association, the City Council of Newnan, and the Pearl Spring Park Association, and that they be empowered to appoint sub-commit tees to solicit subscriptions. Whereupon, Thomas Swint, John.B. Goodwyn, A. R. Word, Anselm Leigh and Thomas F. Jones were appointed by the Chairman. Resolved, That the families and all friends of the Company are cordially invited to join us in all our meetings. Col. P. H. Brewster was unanimously chosen as speaker for our meeting in 1888, with Capt. J. W. Anderson as alternate. Time of meeting, July 21, 1888. J,'W. Anderson, G’hm’n. Y. H. Thompson, Secretary. Let all the old soldiers and their friends begin now, at this early date, to spot the bullocks, heifers, shotes, rams, lambs, kids, turkeys, geese, and chickens for the pit. It will take not less than one hundred carcasses to feed the great multitude that will be pres- T. tized in the creek, he would have froz en to death. We need a religion that will accommodate itself to the weather, or else do like town churches do, heat the water. I guess immersion was on ly intended for summer time baptizing, and sprinkling for winter. That is the only way I can make both modes con venient, for dipping is never resorted to in the winter, unless the water is heated up. For some cases it ought to be hot enough to make the skin almost slip, so a fellow would recollect when he got his religion. Many forget all about the matter and need some one to remind them that they have religion or that they belong to the church. I am under obligations to Mrs. Judge Swint for that good dinner, which she so elegantly prepared for Esquire W. D. Meriwether and myself ; also, to Mrs. Kinnard, Mrs. Kersey, and Mrs. Tlios. Leigh, for similar favors. Miss Joe Swint discoursed some fine music for us. May the Lord bless her. Mrs. Judg« Swint is running a farm and wants to join the Farmers’ Alliance club, but living inside of the corporate limits of Newnan is debarred the benefits of the order. Some farmers are planting corn and others planting guano. The weather has been quite rowdy and fussy for the past two or three i days. We had two of the heaviest ! freezes on last Monday and Tuesday I ! have ever known in March. I learn that a Mr. Morrison, one of the Mexican veterans, and a Miss Tidwell, of Sargent’s Factory, are married and happy as two loving hearts can be. I noticed that all the jurors in the Burks case had black eyes. I never knew before that lawyers preferred black-eyed jurors in criminal cases. These black-eyed fellows generally go for a fellow. I acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the Southern Messenger, published by A. E. Nix at Waco, Haralson coun ty, Ga. Mr. Nix was born and raised Commie- ent. Public School Notes. Friday, March 2.—Our school paper, the Public School Banner, bubbled over with wit. The young “lords of creation” had the floor, and of course used the Damascene blade of humor with telling effect. The editor had all the complacency of Sampson, enjoying the chagrin of the people of Gaza. The .Superintendent lectured on “gypsum,” its various uses, localities where found, etc. Friday, March 9.—Miss Lounette Holmes flourished the “Southern Cross” in its native home, followed by Mr. Bob Alexander in a well-rendered, forcible declamation. Miss Florence Wofford told us pa thetically of a lover whose “Dulcinea” would persist in elocution till she wrote under her name, “spinster.” Mr. Robert Hamrick delighted us with a grand review of the virtues of Washington.

The fallowing statement of county Dixie” Explains to Cousin ‘‘Vincent." Haralson, Ga., March 6.—In my communication of February 18th, I said: “Senoia ought to be denomina ted the jug town,” etc. It seems that “Cousin Vincent,” of The Herald and Advertiser, is'offended. Now, “Cousin Vincent,” there was no offense intended. Far he it from me to attempt to pull down my own town, much less cast a “s-l-u-r” at it. A fel low I considered a gentleman told me about the daily jug business, and his breath smelt that way while he was telling it to me. As for personal knowl edge, I have none. The last drink of intoxicants that I ever took in Senoia was at John Perkins’, front door of his bar, January 12th, 1880—one glass of stale lager beer. Said fellow, my in formant, lives inside of Senoia, and 1 judged from the way he talked was well acquainted with occurrences in the town. , .. . ,. I have also been accused of ‘slurring Senoia “when I knew better,” etc. I would say to said accuser that I have more kinspeople in Senoia than he, and I respect and love them too well to “slur” them or their town. I would simplv ask my good friend (for he is my friend, indeed,) “Cousin Vincent,” do you examine every goods box marked freight that leaves Senoia depot for Griffin ? . 1 again repeat, my friend, “Cousin Vincent,” that I am truly sorry if 1 have offended you, or other staunch friends. I herein make every apology necessary, and long to see the day when everv prohibition town will in deed prohibit, as by popular vote you have decreed it. By the law in your grasp enforce it.
