MERCHANT TAILORING. H. C. FISHER & CO., FIRE, LIFE, AND TORNADO INSURANCE, NEWNAN, GEORGIA. from our correspondents. Benoia. Mr. Editor:—At a Sabbath-school memorial service held last Sunday after noon at the Methodist Church, the fol lowing resolutions were read and adopted as a tribute of respect to the late Col. TV. W. Hardy: Whereas, in the mysterious provi dence of the all-wise Superintendent of the Universe, our beloved friend and Sunday-school companion, W. W. Har dy, has been cut down like a flower in the beauty and strength of manhood by the relentless hand of the dread mon ster who crouches beside the pathway of the old aud young; and, while we bow in humble submission to the decree of Him whose ways are past finding out and who doetli all things for the best, we would express our sorrow in the loss of one of our brightest and best co-workers in the Sunday-school, the memory of whose noble life will linger to inspire us to deeds of charity and duty, and we record the story of his good deeds and the virtues of his life that, though dead, his example may yet speak in gentle tones to those with whom he loved to associate. Therefore, be it resolved— 1. That in the death of our brother the Sunday-school loses one of its brightest ornaments, and one of its most efficient and zealous workers, the church a consistent, faithful and exem plary member, and society one of its most useful and worthy young men. That we mourn his loss to all the insti tutions of which he was a member, as irreparable. 2. That we extend to the bereaved family our heartfelt sympathy and con dolence, and pray that that God in whom the dutiful son and affectionate brother trusted, may guide them to that home where the sorrows of mortal life are not known and where parting will be no more. 3. That these resolutions be spread on the records of this school, and that a copy be sent to the family of the de ceased brother. J. A. Sasser, J. I). Goodman, J. W. Shell, Mrs. C. A. Green, Miss Jennie Sims, Committee. Pending the adoption of these reso lutions, very appropriatt remarks were made by Prof. P. 1). Pollock, Walter Mallory, Cols. J. TV. Shell and J. F. Methvin, and Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt. One of the speakers spoke very feel ingly of the early Sabbath-school training of Col. Hardy, and attributed that as the means by which he had at tained that high degree of moral excel- lenee'accorded him; and while we would not detract one iota from all that is claimed for the Sabbath-school a3 an instrumentality, yet in seeking the cause we would go to a cause far be yond and deeper than the Sabbath- school. If permitted by the most sa cred rules of propriety, we would un lock the closet door, and there behold the loving, pious, saintly mother in her kneeling form, as she pleads with her Savior for her darling boy. We can never get our consent to award any means, humanly speaking, a higher place in forming human character than that of mother. With us it is the first; and we venture the assertion that had Walter Hardy been questioned on that subject his offering would have been laid upon “mother s altar.” As a bit of general information I will say that the Feather Renovating Com pany, which has been in operation here over six weeks, have renovated eight hundred and seventeen (SIT) beds, and, as part of toll, have shipped to Nash ville, Tenn., over two thousand pounds of feathers; reducing the sleeping lux ury to the extent of about sixty-five beds. Mrs. Deracken, of whose illness men tion was made in our last letter, has placed herself under the treatment of Dr. Cowan, near Forest, Ga. Hope she will be speedily restored. Glad to note that Mrs. Culpepper is much improved. Her husband, Rev. E. Culpepper, left this morning for the Georgia Baptist Convention, which meets this week in Brunswick. Mr. M. F. Delk had the misfortune a short time ago to cut one of his feet with an axe, and last Friday cut one of his legs. He is now compelled to use crutches. Mr. Lon Gray, who went to Texas a few weeks ago, has returned. He got sick and decided that the necessary restoratives were in Georgia. The weather is delightful, and our farming friends are making the very best use of it. Mr. M. H. Couch has been to Atlanta for the purpose of replenishing his stock of goods. Mr. J. I). Goodman made a brief visit in the same direction. Mr. W. H. Ferguson is on a visit to Macon. Mrs. Emma Free is visiting Griffin. Mr. S. O. Smith gave an ice cream sociable at his house last night. How guano agents do thrive! April 18th. Vincent. Turin. Mr. Editor:—Mr. Ed. Smith and fam ily moved into Turin on Monday last. Our people extend them a cordial wel come. For the present they will occu py the new residence on Gay street. An imprudent negro girl was butted off the railroad track by the engine one day last week. The girl was walking the track in front of the approaching train, and although signal after signal was given, she paid no attention, and seemed to say by her acts, “Run over me, and I’ll get a lawyer and make you pay damages. I want money, my self.” Fortunately for the girl, she was hurt but little. There are several negro boys who hang around at train time and who are constantly jumping upon the steps of the cars, riding some distance and jumping oil as the train begins to get under good headway. Some day there will be a dead negro picked up, and there will be much la mentation by parents who now stand by and laugh at their daring acts. The thing should be stopped, or one or two of the silly creatures will be made ex amples of as a warning to others. At this penciling the ground is hard and a cool east wind blowing, making it still harder to plow. The farmers are trying to plant their cotton seed, but it is with considerable labor, owing to the hardness of the ground. Some of the early planting is up and will be ready to chop in a few days. If the peaches now on the trees should mature, there will he plenty for eating and drying purposes. A number of Turin gentlemen went on a fishing spree last Monday to Line creek, and report good luck. Miss Tallulah Page has returned from Texas. She had a pleasant trip, and her many friends here were glad to have her return safely and to know that her trip was one of pleasure and enjoyment. The third Sabbath in May the Bap tist house of worship at Starr’s mill will be dedicated to the service of God. Dr. J. II. Hall ik requested to preach the dedication sermon. The people generally are invited to attend the ser vice. The house is located in a beauti ful grove; hence the name of the church, “Glen Grove.” This church lias a fine Sabbath-school, numbering sixty-five pupils, with J. M. Arnall as superintendent. The writer intended to visit t he Bap tist Convention at Brunswick, but was prevented by feebleness. Rust is covering the briars, but has not appeared upon the wheat as yet. The hawks were never more trouble some than now. The hens are heard from on all sides, and the roosters are generally in the lead making the run. “So much like men,” the ladies would say. That dead-lock in Congrass looked simple—indeed it did. R. A. T. April 18th. Puckett’s. Mr. Editor:—Prof. TV. S. Featherston and his estimable lady visited relatives in your town last week. They returned Monday. Miss Mary Andrews, from Newnan, visited one of our fairest this week, Miss Neta Bingham. Fishing tackle is of ready sale these days. Uncle Josiah Couch has the best prospect for strawberries that we have seen—if the blooms have anything to do with the crop of berries. The fish had better be going to the Chattahoochee as fast as they can swim, for we are going seining. Will report our success next week. The majority of the farmers are through planting cotton, and have be gun to cry “dry, hard ground,” already. Alvin Couch has been sick for several days. Glad to see him out again. Mr. Leonard McWilliams, who has been working on the church building, left Wednesday for Atlanta, Texas. Len says his work is worth $2.50 a day there. Our clever townsman, Mr. W. H. Dodds, can get about a little, with the aid of crutches. His fractured limb is healing as fast as could be expected. Messrs. J. K. Cotton and W. H. Couch, of Grantville, spent Wednesday night on Mr. Albert Martin’s mill pond- fishing. Dr. Geo. E. Camp, our most enter prising citizen and merchant, expects to build a warehouse this summer. Messrs. (Camp & Cureton are con stantly shipping peach crates and strawberry boxes. J. C. Brannon has a two-year-old colt that he thinks “can’t be beat.” Accompanied by Robert Moore from Newnan, Jas. P. Camp and sister, Miss Berta, “Zubetus” enjoyed a visit to LaGrange last Sunday. Mt. Zion church building has been sold to the Baptist denomination. We will now have two churches in our town. There will be some repairing done on the church, which will make it very comfortable. This is a more con venient point for the church for a great many people who have been going to White Oak. We don’t see why this shouldn’t grow to be a strong church. Hurrah for a picnic by the Sunday- school members. Zubetus. April 19th. Panther Creek. Mr. Editor:—The other day I came in contact with a coach-whip snake. He switched his tail twicer at me, and I just let him alone; for a switch ing snake will kick the third time hr switches his tail. Mr. F. M. Beavers had a big log rolling one day last week, and I got be hind one of the best dinners I ever confronted—consisting of cabbage, peas, pickles, baked sliote, two-story chicken pies, sliced potato pies, pound cake, (I don’t mean any of your three-quar ter cakes, but an old-fashioned cake, pound of sugar, pound of eggs, pound of flour, etc.,) sugar custards mixed with potato batter, coffee with sugar in it, etc. I never saw as many logs to the ground. Any one could have walked over fifteen acres of land and never pul their feet on the soil. 1 understand there is a varmint in the Cedar Creek district that is catch ing chickens, pigs, lambs, and calves. It is larger than a common size cur. Elder Dodson filled his regular ap pointment at Liberty church on last Saturday and Sunday, and at 3 o’clock Sunday evening he addressed the Sun day-school at Roscoe. Mrs. Dodson ac companied her husband. Mr. Dodson is a fine speaker and all denominations like to hear him preach. I made a trip to the village of Roscoe last Monday evening, and spent the night with Mr. J. C. Sewell and family. Mr. Sewell has a very nice dwelling, a fine barn and all other out-buildings necessary to a well-regulated farm. Ib is oue of Panther Creek’s best farmers, and has planted for 100 bales of cotton and 1500 bushels of corn this year. He has, also, fifteen acres of the finest wheat in the county. The other citizens around Roscoe are doing well. Roscoe has three doctors. Dr. John Starr, formerly of Franklin, has recent ly located there and will practice his profession. He is said to be one of the finest physicians in the country. Mrs. Coates, near Roscoe, is quite sick. Col. G. H. Sanders has so far recov ered as to be able to ride out to his farm. Owing to the busy season, ,'Professor .J. B. Allen’s school has dwindled down to forty or fifty students. The hens around Roscoe are laying ten cent eggs. Misses Della and Rena Ilesse have been heard from. They made the trip all right; but were delayed 14 hours a- Chattanooga and 10 hours at Sandy. They give a glowing’ account of the West and of the Texas people. April 18th. Ripples. Corinth. Mr. Editor:—Things are getting vert drv in this community. I reckon it is the right season of the year to put on dus- te’-s. I saw a fellow fagging under one Sunday. Fishing is now in order on New river, and the boys are gigging the lively sucker right along I went the other evening, and found that it was a good evening for bites—but they came iron; mosquitoes. My same old luck. Corinth lias a well organized debating club now. This is the place for you. boys. Great benefit is to be derived front good debating clubs. Here you can cultivate your reasoning faculties, and lay the foundation for oratorical power. The school boys are especi ally invited to attend. Picnics are in order. The first t<- take partin this social necessity will be the clever and generous people of Capt. Sims’ neighborhood. They will picnic April 28th. When will Corinth Sunday-school ive their picnic? We must have it. think we will get it if we tickle Su perintendent Spearman a little more. Singing at the Methodist church ev ery Sunday evening. Mr. Fletcher Spearman and the edi tor of the People’s Paper, of Ilogans- ville, were in Corinth Sunday. Dr. J. B. Sanders is now permanenth located at Corinth. He is a genial, warm-hearted young man, and we wish him success. Resident. April 17th. Eureka Mills. Mr. Editor:—Yesterday our little town was enlivened with a lot of the sweetest loveliness, fishing on dry land as well as the pond. I heard one young lady howdyingto “Cousin Dixie” of the Mews. Ah, “Cousin Dixie,” look out! Mr. A. H. Rawls failing to get the amount of guano he wanted, has decid ed to use his own make, prepared from ground cotton seed and stable manure. He ought to be an Alliance man. “L. L. II.” is mashed on Griffin. »So is “S. A. A.” In company with our friend, J. TV. Brakefield, we wended our way to old Fairview Baptist church yesterday, to hear the venerable pastor, Rev. R. TV. Hamrick, of your city. The text wa- St. John, xvi.: 13—“The Spirit of Trutl is come subject to human redemption.” The subject was handled witn that power that always characterizes Mr. Hamrick. The Sunday-school here is on a boom. By special invitation, in com pany with Rev. Mr. Hamrick, we took dinner with Mr. H. C. Putman, who i- accumulating money very rapidly b\ farming. Mr. Putman is a stirrer, am. one of these days will be a rich man. _ Our people are moving along with their farming operations with a will. Miss Nannie Harrison, from| Spald ing county, is the guest of Miss Clar;. Williams. The madame and I were invited t-o par take of a “fat hen” dinner,together wit 1 other goodies, at Mr. and Airs. J. G Cagle’s. The madame went, and I too! in Fairview; but I didn’t get left ot the dinner question. All the members at the Haralsoi- Alliance are requested especially to at tend the meeting on Saturday befor. the fifth Sunday in April. Important business to attend to. Blalock, April 16th. ^
