A Noble Woman Saved—Not our Words But Theirs. Mbs. Tamberlane Carter—“I hav 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 fully say that it has not only kept me alive, but strengthened and raised me up so that I again enjoy the blessings of health. I suffered with great nerve exhaustion, an organic heart disease, with cold sinking shells, with little pow er of reaction, and Pemberton’s Wine of Coca is the only article that would bring on a quick reaction.” Dyspepsia 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.” 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.” Col. L. P. Barnes has donned a straw hat and is wearing his vest about three buttons lower than usual. These are the only sure harbingers of spring that we have observed. It is about time for the authorities to look after the town. Now is the time to make a thorough cleaning. Do not wait until summer to attend to this important matter. Last Sunday was a perfect day. No Easter morn ever dawned more glo riously or had a more glorious fulfill ment. It was the first touch of real spring that we have had. Rev. W. B. Costly returned Tuesday from Newnan, Ga., where he was taken sick ten days ago. W* are glad to know lie is improving now .—Hampton Cor. Henry County Weekly. and or- clover, fairly set in, and our columns are taxed to accommodate the various enterpris ing firms now clamoring for space. Two or three communications intended for this issue are crowded out on this account, but will appear in our next issue. The poem “Counting the Stars,” which appeared as original in the last issue of the Index, was sent to us by a friend of the author. This friend, we presume, did not know that the poem had been published, about four months ago, in The Herald and Adverti ser, Newnan.—Christian Index. Mr. John Houseworth’s little girl, Bessie, aged four or five years, died last Sunday evening, after about one week’s illness. Dr. I. N. Brown, the attending physician, was assisted by Dr. Long, of Newnan, but they were unable to arrest the progress of the disease.—Whitesburg Cor. Carroll Free Press. Mr. John Dunbar, an enterprising citizen of Newnan, was in the city this week, looking around with the view of engaging in business here. We trust that he may see his way clear to do so, as he is, from what we have learned, just the style of man that would prove very valuable acquisition to our city. -Gainesville Eagle. Mrs. Barnes has returned from New York, wffiere she spent some time in fashionable Broadway millinery es tablishment, learning all about the new French designs in spring hats and bonnets. She claims to be thoroughly posted as to the latest fashions, which are represented in the large and beau tiful stock she has brought with her. At the approaching State Conven tion Hon. P. F. Smith will probably be urged by his friends as a delegate to the National Democratic Convention from the State at large. Mr. Smith was one of the Presidential electors os the Cleveland ticket in 1884, and is well known to the Democracy of the State. It is scarcely necessary to add that he is in thorough accord with the policy of the Administration. able home of Mr. and Mrs.W. A. Dent, the young ladies of Newnan gave their first party of the Leap Year series, and it has been voted a brilliant success by the boys. About twenty-five couples were in attendance, who were treated to an old-fashioned candy-pulling by the clever host and hostess, and it goes without saying that there was “much linked sweetness,” drawn out in such moities as to insure the fullest enjoyment to the greatest number. The girls have made a good start, and the gentle sex of the opposite gender are looking forward to other entertain ments in the near future with equally pleasurable anticipations. We feel sure they will not be disappointed. “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 fiends, haunted my mind and bodv I had about given up and lost all hope, when my attention was called to your French Wine Coca. I tried it well—its effect was wonderful; my mind assumed its normal functions, and to day my brain force is as strong and ca pable of taxation as when I was in the vigor of youth.” Ask your druggist for it or write to the Pemberton Medicine Co..

We can suit in style, fit you in size, and will please you in price. B. S. Askew & Co. The family of Mr. C. H. Hyde left last week for Waynesboro, Ga., where Mr. Hyde has been engaged in the business of contracting and building for several months past, and we under stand will make that their home in fu ture. A layer of pulverized charcoal an inch thick placed upon the surface of the soil in flower pots, is said to render roses more gorgeous, variegate petu nias with red or purple, and to spot violets with a darker hue. It is easily tried. In the Ordinary’s Court last Monday letters of dismission were granted to C. A. Bolton, executor of Peter Owen. A year’s support was also granted to Mary Suggs, widow of Judge Suggs. There was no other business of impor tance. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs. John Rollins died last Sunday morning after an illness of about thirty-six hours, and was buried at Mt. Zion the following morning. We sympathize with the afflicted parents in their be reavement. Messrs. Y. H. Thompson, Orlando McClendon, R. W. Freeman, P. H. Death of Col. W. W. Hardy. In the death of Col. W. W. Hardy, of Senoia, Coweta county loses a valua ble and estimable cit izen, whose useful ness to the community could have been exceeded only by his high moral worth and rare excellence of charac ter. No young man of our acquaintance had a brighter or more promising fu ture, and no man stood higher in the estimation of his fellows. Loyal in principle, firm and unwavering in his convictions of truth and justice, out spoken and honest in his advocacy of measures which he felt called upon to support, he combined those qual ities of leadership that invariably mark the good citizen, without tenden cy to partisanship—and the best evi dence of his popularity with all classes was their generous confidence and es teem, which he enjoyed up to the day of his death. Truly, a good man has gone. Perhaps the Last of the Season. On Monday evening next the Helen Vaughn Comedy Company will begin a ! three nights’ engagement at Reese’s | Opera House, presenting an eutire j change of programme each night. They have an extensive repertoire, in cluding “East Lynne, “Divorced, “M’Liss,” “Monte Christo,” “White Slave,” “Hearts of Oak," “Danites,” and several other popular plays. On Monday night they will present the highly emotional drama of “East Lynne,” and the two succeeding nights will doubtless play “M’Liss” and “The Danites,” though the programme for those nights has not yet been formally announced. The company is-in Vest Point to-night. The following complimentary notice of the troupe is taken from the Tulla- homa (Tenn.) Gazette: The charming little favorite of the stage, Helen Vaughn, supported by a brilliant array of amusement talent, composing the Lawrence-Vaughn Stan dard Theatre Company, richly enter tained our people during the entire holiday week at the New Opera House. That they were keenly appreciated is evidenced bv a special request calling them back to our city next Monday evening and night, to present the great plays “Hearts of Oak,” and “M’Liss. Mr.' Lawrence, while not so winsome in looks as pretty Miss Vaughn, is a splendid actor, a genial gentleman, and the company is first-class. They will have a crowded house Monday. Mr. N. B. Glover, a prominent citi zen of Newnan, was in the city last Tuesday, on a visit to his son, Mr. Mil- ton Glover, who has lately commenced business here. The Eagle office is in debted to Mr. Glover for a very pleas ant call. He expresses himself greatly- pleased with Gainesville, and thinks it will continue to grow rapidly in com mercial importance. We hope he will visit us often.—Gainesville Eagle. Dr. A. J. Lyndon received a telegram yesterday afternoon announcing the death of Rev. C. VV. Smith, of Ma con, which occurred suddenly at his home in that city at 2 o’clock r. M., from a stroke of apoplexy. The news of his death will be received with profound sorrow by his numerous friends in this county, where he w r as as highly esteemed as in Macon. A more extended notice will appear in oitr next issue. Old Orpheus moved the stones and trees to follow in his wake. Small wonder, then, that our friend, Colonel William Henry Harrington, should have followed the “Boston Stars” to New nan last Saturday and sit again a rapt listener to their concert in the evening. He was the guest of Col. H. Carver Fisher, who has a branch office in this city, and who may be run by his friends for mayor of West Point.—West Point Alliance. Speaking of the recent session of Heard Superior Court the Franklin News says: “It has been the dullest Court w-e ever knew, and is conclusive evidence of the wane of litigation While most of the business was contin ued, there is really- but little on hand. The showing is a good one, and speaks well for the county.” The News adds that Judge Harris was in excellent health, and seemed anxious to clear the docket, ^ While engaged in clearing off the soldiers’ graves last Monday, prepara tory to erecting marble headstones in lieu of the old wooden boards that have marked that sacred spot for sev eral years past, Mr. G. C. McNamara unearthed a genuine tarantula—as ugly a specimen as ever trailed its poisonous length across the prairies of Texas or exuded its venom along the adobe walls of the native Aztec. It was a grisly-looking insect. Programme for Memorial Day. The Ladies’ Memorial Association have arranged the following programme for Thursday, April 26th.* The citizens will assemble with Me chanics Brass Band at the Confederate Monument, in public square, at 2:30 r. M. Will form a procession and march thence to the cemetery. Arriving in the cemetery grounds, the following order of exercises will be observed: Music by Merchanics Brass Baud. Prayer by Rev. Dr. Stacy. Introduction of the orator of the day by Hon. W. Y. Atkinson. Oration by Prof. Edgar T. Whatley, of Cave Spring, Ga. Music by Mechanics Brass Band. Def oration of soldiers’ graves. Everybody who feels an interest in honoring our dead heroes is invited to join the procession and take part in the exercises. All are requested to bring wreaths and flowers for the occa sion. Col. Paul Willcoxon will act as mar shal of the day. Mrs. L. R. Ray, Pres’t. The Missionary Ship. One of the very nicest and most pleasing entertainments ever presented to the good citizens of Newnan was the Building of the Missionary Ship,” last Friday evening at the Opera House, by the Juvenile Missionary Society, of which Mrs. J. D. Ray is President. At early hour the people began to THE WAY TO BUY. Brewster and W. Y. Atkinson, repre senting the legal and Masonic frater nities of this city, went down to Senoia last Sunday to attend the funeral of Col. W. W. Hardy.

Carpenter was inadver tently omitted in giving the list of sig natures. This omission might be con strued by some as an indication that Mr. Carpenter did not agree with the views expressed by the Board in the article published. We take pleasure in stating, therefore, that he is in full sympathy with the Board, as he ^ ^ ^ with every other progressive movement | ""jrrV affecting the welfare and prosperity of 1 the town. Mr. H. S. Banta, who has been em ployed in the jewelry establishment of gather, and by 8 o’clock the rush indi cated an unusual interest in the pro gramme to be presented. The house was soon comfortably filled; and as the curtain rose upon the stage filled with little sailor lads and lassies, appro priately costumed, they were warmly greeted by the audience with a hearty round of applause. The little ones were just sufficiently flushed with excite ment to cause each to act his or her part in a way that completely captiva ted the audience. The ship “Morning Star” exhibited on her keel “Jesus Christ”—other foundation can no man lay_while the sides, each plank of which bearing its own device, were placed in position with an appropriate scriptural quotation by the little girls who so artistically handled them. We are happy to state that the net amount realized from the entertain ment was fifty dollars, which has been forwarded to the Missionary Society to be used in foreign fields. Newnan is proud of her Juvenile Society. A New Enterprise. Newnan’s latest enterprise is a wag on factory, and it bids fair to become one of the most important. It is a stock concern, known as the Newnan Wagon Company, and has a strong financial backing—sufficient to pro vide all needed facilities for a first- class factory, and amply able to com pete with any similar establishment in the State, either in prices or workman ship. The company proposes to manu facture only the heavier class of vehi cles, such as wagons, drays, carts, etc., and is being thoroughly equipped for the business of manufacturing. The first vehicle of the company’s own manufacture was turned out from the shops last Tuesday, and it will bear; | comparison with any work of the sort l way into the Southern markets. It is a handsome two-horse | wagon, and so nicely finished and well- | constructed that it’ would be conspicu- i ous anywhere. It was built entirely An Atlanta House Tells Some Interest ing Facts. The best evidence of success in any enterprise or undertaking is the results accomplished. There is an old saying that the “best is the cheapest,” and this may be accepted as a fact for all time. The old reliable house, D. H. Dougherty & Co., Atlanta, have some interesting things to say in our issue to-day, and what ever is said by them may be put down as worth, its weight in gold. They have a way of buying everything cheap, and this advantage they invariably give to their patrons. This is a great secret, and one worth knowing. “How to buy,” is something every one does not know, but Dough erty & Co. seem to have mastered the science. This spring they propose to astonish all Georgia in their buying methods, and please everybody by the way they sell. We can conscientiously recommend Dougherty & Co. to our friends, and give them our hearty en dorsement. When you are visiting Atlanta, don’t fail to call and see these gentlemen, be ing assured, always, of the fairest treatment and the most courteous at tention. From the edition of Geo. P.. Rowell & Co.’s “American Newspaper Directo ry,” published April 2d (its tw'entieth year), it appears that the newspapers and periodicals of all kinds issued in the United States and Canada, now number 16,310, showing a gain of 890 during the last 12 months and of 7,136 in 10 years. The publishers of the Di rectory assert that the impression that when the proprietor of a newspaper undertakes to state what has been his exact circulation, he does not general ly tell the truth is an erroneous one ; and they conspiciously offer a reward of $100 for every instance in. their book for this year, where- it can be shown that the detailed report received from a publisher was untrue..

Miss Annie Anderson’s constant interest and help, Frof. Ford’s words of encourage ment and time given for rehearsal, and Mr. J. S.
