RESCUED FROM THE GRAVE Wordi, A SobI« tVuiumi Saved- Not our But Theirs. Mrs. Tamberlane Carter—“I have been a great sufferer for many years, and had given up hope of being restor ed to health again, and expected to die any time. Pemberton’s Wine of Coca was recommended to me after all other remedies had failed, and I can truth- folly say that it has not only kept me alive, but strengthened and raised me up so that I again enjoy the blessings of health. 1 suffered with great nerve exhaustion, an organic heart disease, with cold sinking spells, with little pow er of reaction, and Pemberton’s Wine of Coca is the only article, that would bring on a quick reaction.” One hundred dollars’ worth of sam ple cravats, all sorts and sizes, bought at half price and will be sold the same I.

Upon examination, however, it was discovered that she too was dead. The sorrowful event cast a deep gloom over the community. Messrs. Andrew Sewell and David Power have treated their respective ‘It is claimed,” says the Manufactur ers’ Record, “that the recent decline in cotton cost the South at least $1,000,000 through the losses of speculators, llow much better it would have been for these speculators and for the South if that money had been invested in indus trial enterprises.” The “One Hundred Prize Question” in Lippincott’s Magazine, for answers to which prizes amounting to one hun dred and seventy-five dollars are offer ed by the managers, are exciting unus ual interest, and the libraries in all the large cities find a tremendous run upon their works of reference. families with a handsome Estey organ. Similar purchases have been made re cently by Messrs. Geo. Colley and Fred Darden of Luthersville, and also by Messrs. Billy Carnes, Lee Houstoi and P. H. Chandler of this county. Messrs. Thompson Bros, (who sold all the instruments mentioned,) seem de termined to organ-izp the county be fore they stop. This is confessedly the best organ made, whose popularity is well attested by the large number in use throughout the country. Mr. J. R. Herring is opening up some of the prettiest spring goods that we have seen anywhere. His stock of clothing is especially attractive, while his shoes, hats, gents’ furnishing goods, etc., are quite as varied and handsome He sold several suits of clothing before he had time to mark them #t>. Amelie Rives will contribute her first novel to Lippincott’S Magazine for April. It is entitled “The Quick or the Dead?” and is described as full of pas sion and interest. A portrait of the beautiful authoress, and a biographical sketch by an intimate friend form oth er attractions of the number. Judge W. C. Arlamson, Col. S Grow,” Hon. L. P. Mandeville and Messrs.

A number of seats have been reserved for the Boston Stars’ concert to-morrow night by parties at Grantville, Puckett Station, Palmetto, Senoia, and other points. George Stevenson, the negro boy who was struck on the head with a shovel by Lundy Johnson about three weeks ago, is improving, and it is now thought that he will recover. Misses Susie Bigby, Pauline Cole and Lizzie Arnold come up from LaGrange Female College last Friday afternoon on a brief visit to the home folks, re turning Monday morning, A negro man living on Mr. Sterling Elder’s place, near Turin, boarded the down freight here last Wedhesday, with a Turin ticket. For some reason the engineer ran by the station, arid the negro seeing no evidence that the train would stop, made a jump from the cars, and in falling struck his head against a stone, making quite an ugly wound. Mr. Kennan’s Siberian papers, illus trated by Mr. G. A. Frost, who accom panied Mr. Kennan on his trip through Asiatic Russia, will begin in the May Century. Their appearance has been deferred on account of the author’s de sire to group in preliminary papers- the last of which will be in the April Century—an account of the conditions and events in Russia directly related the exile system. This system is now to be minutely described and ela borately pictured; and by way of pre face to the first illustrated paper Mr. Kennan will, in a brief statement, an swer the question as to how he came to enter upon his arduous and somewhat perilous investigations, and why he and his companion were accorded such ex traordinary facilities by the Russian Government itself. In the April Cen tury Mr. Kennan will write of “The Russian Penal Code.” While in Atlanta last week Miss Hel en Long purchased a rare and beautiful flower. It is known as the “veiled nun,” and is of the lily species. The plant is now in full bloom and is well worth a visit to see. I ts peculiarity is that, encased in a large lilac, bloom, is a miniature statuette, very much fesem bling a veiled female profile. We neglected last week to acknowl edge the pleasure of a visit from our old friend and frater, Col. Edivin R Sharpe, of the Carrollton Free Press, with whom we spent an hour or so most agreeably. It is so seldom that Bro. Sharpe lays aside his journalistic and agricultural cares, even for. a brief visit, that the event is always worthy ol note. Miss Loudie O’Kelly, of Grantville, is principal of the music department of Waco High School, and it is scarcely necessary to add that she is giving en tire satisfaction in the position. At the residence of Miss Mary Bol ton, in this city, on the 15th inst., Rev. J. H. Hall officiating, Mr. J. H. Lump kin was united in marriage to Miss Florence Cochran, of Columbus, Ga. Mr. Iverson Sims, while in Newnan last week, gained one and a-half ounces of solid flesh.

Dyspepfti* and Nervous Prostration-. Clarence F. Low, New Orleans Please send me per express one dozen more Wine of Coca. It has proven in deed a ‘boon and blessing’ to me. My health, which has been failing for some time from dyspepsia and nervous pros tration, has been restored.” Mr. A. S. Murray, of Griffin, visited his brother here this week. He says the money for Griffin’s new cotton fac tory has all been subscribed, the site purchased, and that work on the build ing will commence in a few weeks. Insomnia, or Restlessness. T. J. Simmons, Judge Supreme Court State of Georgia—“I have used your French Wine Coca, and unhesitatingly indorse it as the finest nerve tonic with which I am acquainted. For an over worked brain or body and general de bility it has no equal. One or two doses will cure any case of nervous head ache. Any one suffering with insomnia or restlessness at night will find perfect relief in your Wine Coca.” The case of the minority stockholders of the Savannah, Griffin and North Al abama Railroad against the Central Railroad, which was set for a hearing before Judge Clarke in Atlanta on Tuesday last, has been postponed until May. Rev. Henry R. Coleman, the eloquent and distinguished divine and Grand Chaplain of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Kentucky, will be in Newnan next Monday and by request will deliver his famous lecture entitled “Freetnasonfy in the Holy Land” in Masonic Hall, at 7:30 p. M. All Master Masons iii good standing are cordially invited to at tend. Muster Burch Hunter went out to Hardaway & Hunter’s pond last Sat urday and caught a carp weighing 6* pounds. The pond was stocked only three years ago, and it seems incredible that even so lusty a species as the carp could attain such marvelous growth within the period mentioned, but it is true nevertheless. The specimen re ferred to furnished a good mess for two families. , Mrs. Langtry will appear at DeGive’ Opera House, in Atlanta, to-night in her latest success, “As In a Looking- Glass.” To-morrow afternoon she will play “Lady of Lyons,” and to-morrow night the thrilling drama, “A Wife’ Peril,” will be presented. She will be supported by Mr. Coglilan and her own company, which Ls said to be an unusu ally strong one. The reception at Mr. John A. Rove ton’s last Tuesday night at 11 o’clock was well attended, and as enjoyable as could reasonably have been expected under the circumstances. It is perhaps proper to state that the levee was held in his storm-pit, John is a good fellow, and a storm never fails to blow up his neighbors and friends, who are only too glad to take refuge in his hos pitable cyclone retreat, to the Mrs. Mary Brooks, of the Third dis trict, is the fortunate owner of one of the finest milch cows in the State. In five months she has sold one hundred and four pounds of butter, besides sup plying her own table, and all from one cow. “All Other Foul Fiends.” Dr. I. N. Cheney, Bremen, Ga.— “I have been in bad health for ten years, and have used all the best known reme dies, but my health continued to grow from bad to worse. Insomnia, Melan cholia Hypochondriasis, and all the other ’foul nends, haunted my mind and body I had about .given up and lost all lioDe when my attention was called to vour French iue Coca.

It must be remembered, too, that those who registered two or three weeks ago, when the books were first opened, will have to register again. Those who have subscribed stock of the Newnan Cotton Mills are requested to call at Hardaway & Him ter’s and sign the stock book, which has been placed in Capt. Hardaway hands for the purpose of securing the sij natures of those who have not already signed. As a meeting of the stockhold ers and directors is to be held on Mon day next it is important that this mat ter be attended to without delay. be a notable event in Newnan, and one that our music-loving people will not be slow to appreciate, we feel assured. The following complimentary notice from the Atlanta Constitution is hearti ly indorsed here by the friends and ad mirers of the troupe: The Boston Stars are resting in At lanta at the Kimball House, after an uninterrupted season of thirteen weeks. Their success this season has been some thing remarkable. The residents of Atlanta will be pleased to learn that they will appear m DeGive's Opera House next Monday night. So excel lent a company has not been heard in Atlanta for a year or more. The com pany is composed of true artists. Wal ter Emerson is confessedly the greatest cornet player living. The best critics place him much higher than Levy, who astonished ail Atlanta by his surprising playing during the music festival. Many of these critics give Levy his proper meed of merit, and declare that he is second only to Walter Emerson. Me- dora Henson Emerson is a prima donn.i of great excellence. She is a pupil of the great Etore Barili, (Alfredo Barili’s father) and is a daughter of Dr. Henson, one of the most distinguished Baptist clergymen in the United States. Mr. Rudolf King, of Berlin, is the pianist and accompanist. Nella F. Brown, the phenomenal reader and elocutionist, is the wife of Mr. Ozias-W. Pond, of Bos ton, the famous manager. The Stars are not less social than musical lights, and during their stay in Atlanta will receive much attention from the best people of the city. Their first appear ance in Atlanta will be under happy auspices. For the first time in their experience, perhaps, the farmers of Georgia are en countering the novel hardship of a gu ano famine. Sales have been unpre cedentedly heavy in every section of the State, and the supply will fall far short of the demand in many localities. In the Newnan market sales have been numerous and heavy, one firm having sold already twice as much as they usu ally sell in one season. Other dealers report a like increase in this line rade, and the stock is so short that wagons are turned off empty every day. One dealer, who has about twen ty tons on hand under contract for de livery, received a cash offer this week for the entire lot, but was forced to de cline. The Coweta Fertilizer Company could have sold a thousand or twelve hundred tons this week, and not drop ped a single sack in the county. Orders from a distance are pouring in every lay, showing that the demand is gener al throughout the State. Messrs. Hardaway & Hunter are sell ing a variety of cotton seed that- bound to become popular with our far mers when they find out what results can be attained by planting it. The va riety was discovered and propagated by Mr. J. H. Christopher, one of the lead ing farmers of Troup county, who has had no difficulty in disposing of all his surplus seed for two or three seasons past. Mr. J. F. Jones, of Hogansville, (himself an extensive and successful cotton planter,) uses quantities of the seed every season, and with the beat results. It produces a very large boll from forty-five to fifty of which will make a pound of cotton. Unlike most large-boll varieties, it is unusually for ward, and as prolific as forward. The staple produced is of undoubted supe riority, both as regards fibre and fleeci ness. A limited quantity of the seed can be had at Hardaw ay & Iluuter’s, at $1.00 per bushel. The Ladies Foreign Missionary Society.- The semi-annual meeting of the Lad dies Foreign Missionary Society took place on Thursday evening of last week, at the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Ray, and was a most in teresting and enjoyable occasion. The exercises were formally opened with prayer by Rev. YV. R. Foote, after which Mrs. J. D. Ray, the president, presented her report, giving a brief history of the organization and describ ing the work accomplished by the So ciety since the last semi-annual meet ing. It was an interesting report, and was received with every evidence of gratification by the members and friends present. An original poem by Mrs. D. B Woodroof was the next feature of en joyment, which evoked the hearty ap plause of her delighted auditors—not less for the sentiments so beautifully expressed than for the graceful manner in which it was rendered. The inite boxes were then opened and upon counting the contents the sum total was found to be $42.80. This concluded the regular exercises, after which an elegant supper was spread for the enjoyment of the com pany, who fell to with an alacrity that showed their thorough appreciation of the same. The occasion was most enjoyable throughout, and evidenced an enthusi asm on the part of the members that augurs well for the foreign missionary cause in this field of work. J.

Poems are furnished by Andrew Land, who sings of Isaack Wal ton; Elizabeth Stoddard contributes “On the Hill-top;” Richard E. Burton, A Spring Thought;” Dora Read Good ale, “All’s at an End;” and Harriet Prescott Spofford, “In April Days. One of Wordsworth’s beautiful son nets, “The Shepherd, looking East ward, softly said,” is reprinted, and a drawing accompanying it, by Alfred Parsons, forms the frontispiece of the number. The old English song, “Sweet Nelly, my Heart’s Delight,” is illumi nated by two exquisitely daiaty full- page sketches by E. A. Abbey. This is a rather more liberal'supply of poetry than the magazine usually contains, but it is a highly proper amount for the spring-tide number, and show's which way the editor’s fancies lightly turn. County Teachers’ Institute. On the 26th of last February a few teachers met in Arcade Hall and or ganized a teachers’ association, to which, was given tlie name of the Coweta County Teachers’ Institute. Superin tendent L. H. Ford was chosen chair man, and Miss Annie Anderson secre tary. On March 10th, the Institute met again in Arcade Hall. Several teach ers not present at the first meeting at tended the second meeting, and, had it not been for the inclemency of the weather, there would have been a large attendance. At this meeting the best methods of teaching language lessons, reading, spelling, geography, and lum bers were discussed. At the next meet ing, which will be held April 7tli, Prof. J. B. Allen will make a talk on the best method of teaching English grammar; Prof. Featherston, one on the best method of teaching penmanship; and Miss Annie Anderson, one on the best method of teaching history. All teachers out of the county, as well as in the county, are urged to at tend these meetings. The association is for the special benefit of teachers; it costs nothing to become a member; ev ery subject connected with teaching will be discussed; the most approved meth od of teaching each branch of study will be brought out; and it is hoped ■ P.

His white com panion and supposed accomplice is yet in jail at Griffin. The negro wants damages for false imprisonment, and thinks it will take $3,000 to repair his injured character. This shows how un grateful some people are;—he should consider himself luckv to get off at all. Odd Fellows Celebration. The sixty-ninth anniversary of Odd Fellowship in America will be observed with appropriate ceremonies at Odd Fellows Hall, April 26th, at 7:30 o’clock p. m.
