Next Thursday being a legal holiday in this State, it is suggested that all our business houses close at 3 o’clock, p. m., in order that every one may have an opportunity to attend and partici pate in the memorial exercises appoint ed for that hour. The suggestion is a good one and we commend it to the consideration of our merchants and business men generally. Rev. W. C. Dunlap, agent of Paine’s Institute, Augusta, will occupy the Methodist pulpit next Sunday in the interest of the cause of education for colored people. Mr. Dunlap is an ear nest worker in the cause to which he lias been assigned by his conference, and has succeeded in awakening an in terest in the matter that cannot fail to result advantageously to the institution which he so ably represents.

One of the delegates stated to a reliable gentleman yester day that, after the conclusion of the business for which the Alliance met, one of the delegates asked for an ex pression with regard to the candidacy of R.

Singing birds and blooming flowers tell it. Everything teRs it; but the merchant who advertises not can not tell the difference in the boom of his trade.—Franklin Neics. Memorial Day. A slight change has been made in the programme arranged for Memorial Day, which can be best understood by republishing the entire order of exer cises: The band will begin to play in front of the Opera House at 2:30 p. m. The people will assemble in the Ope ra House. The exercises will begin promptly at 3 o’clock, as follows: Music by Mechanics Brass Band. Prayer by Rev. Dr. Stacy.

All are requested to bring wreaths and flowers for the occasion; and it is especially desired by the Ladies Me morial Association that the flowers thus contributed be scattered only on the soldiers’ graves. Col. Paul S. Willcoxon will act as marshal of the day. The speaking will not take place at the cemetery, as heretofore announced, but in the Opera House. Mrs. L. R. Ray, Pres’t. subscribers always look on it as a fnend that cannot be dispensed with, and new ones never fail to regret that they have not long before made its acquain tance. Capital stories and poetry are the rule, not the exception, and, to- gether with its superb steel-plate and other illustrations, make the contents of each month a rich treat. In all matters of dress, toilet, and needle work, Peterson designs and sugges tions are fresh and novel, and its prac tical hints to housewives are always trustworthy. Our lady readers should all take the magazine. Term* only $5 a year. Address Peterson’s Magazine, Philadelphia, Pa. Russia is the last country in the world concerning which we should expect to hear that it has n good system for the administration of law and justice. How ever, according to Albert P. Heard’s ar ticle in Harper’s Magazine for May, the judicial system of the Czar’s dominions is excellent, and, if honestly followed out, would work to the happiness of the Czar’s subjects. But there’s the rub. Being an autocrat of the most absolute kind, and judging himself and his government to be in danger, Alex ander III. basso modified the judicial system of his country by imperial de crees that it might just about as well not exist at all. Against the ukases the Nihilists have opposed assassina tion; and so it goes, from bad to worse. The end no one can tell, but there is much to hope for in a country where the masses of the people would rather be beaten with stripes than pay a small fine! It is especially interesting to read this article in connection with Dr. Lans- dell’s “Russian Convicts in the Salt Mines of Iletsk” in the same number. The school census of Coweta county will be taken between now and the 1st of July, notice of which is required to be published in the county papers for fifteen days. The Board of Education is required to appoint one or more compe tent persons to take the census of all children in the county between the ages of 6 and 18 years, designating sex and races. The registrars of the school census are to -receive $2 per day for their services. In this county one enu merator for each militia district will be appointed, making thirteen in all. The Senoia Fertilizer and Manufac turing Company has been very suc cessful since it commenced operations seven or eight months ago. At the close of business two or three weeks ago it was ascertained that a net profit of ten per cent, on the capital stock had been earned, and the company’s affairs are in excellent shape for next season’s business. Early in the fall the necessary machinery for man ufacturing guano will be put in, and by next spring the company will be prepared to supply the fertilizer trade of that entire section. Our sister town has a way of taking care of herself that is worthy of emulation. Mrs. R. M. Barnes’ millinery open ing this week has been successful be yond all expectation and will be re membered as one of the most elegant displays of the sort ever seen in New nan. Apart from the superior quality o the goods, the taste exhibited in trim ming was really artistic. There were ; number of pattern hats also on exhibi tion, which came in for a full share o admiration from the ladies who throng ed the establishment from day to dav. Mrs. Barnes considers this her most successful opening, and the numerous complimentary expressions volunteer ed by her friends and customers must be a source of gratification to her. Col. J. TV. Shell, of Senoia, was in the city last Tuesday on business con nected with his profession. The Colo nel is an eloquent pleader, and can size up a jury nine times out of ten by merely scanning the back of its neck. This requires practice, of course; but, then, he is a veteran in experience. The stockholders of the Grantville Ginning and Manufacturing Company have received a cash dividend of 14 per cent, upon their stock, representing the profits of about nine months’ opera tions. Mr. J. F. Lovejoy, the secre tary and treasurer of the company, issued the dividend scrip last week. General Manager Gabbett has deci ded to erect a passenger depot at this A WMg Railroad. Hon. TV. B. Berry is rich in reminis cences of the times when Whigs and Democrats were “striving mightily” for the ascendancy in this section. One of his best stories is as follows: TVhen the Atlanta and West Point Railroad was being built party strife was at its height. Those in charge of the location of that part of the line which ran through Coweta were of the un terrified, uncompromising Whig stripe that fought for Whiggery by day and dreamed of it by night. They decided that the road should be a Whig road, and that it should not be defiled by running through the lands of any Dem ocrat. So they surveyed a route, mak ing a bend here and a turn there; and when the work was done it was found that from Palmetto to Newnan—a distance of fourteen miles—they had run through the land of but one Demo crat, and as he happened to be a mild sort of partisan and rather hard to surround, “they didn’t count that,” as Rip Yan Winkle would say. And so the road runs to this day. Odd Fellows’ Anniversary. The public generally are cordially in vited to attend the sixty-ninth anni versary of Odd Fellowship in America, in Odd Fellows Hall, at 8 o’clock i\ M., April 26th. Col. R. T. Daniel, Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge of Geor gia, will deliver the address, and a rich treat is in store for all who attend the anniversary exercises. Let everybody come. * * * The aim of true statesmanship is to secure the happiness and civilization of the people. Every true Odd Fellow is a statesman. * * * What a growth Odd Fellowship has been ! From a little gathering of four in an inn, unknown to even the neigh boring houses, now expanded into the knowledge and esteem of the civilized world ! * * * A Lodge of Odd Fellows can easily perform what a single individual could never accomplish. Banded together as we are in our fraternity, we can “visit the sick, relieve the distressed, bury the dead and educate the orphan.” * * * The principles of Odd Fellowship are God’s fatherhood and man’s broth erhood; care for others; friendship, love and truth; trust in God; charity; mutual relief; hospitality; toleration and rest. These principles on the ban ner of Odd Fellowship stirred the muse of the great poet, James Montgomery, and he penned the first ODD FELLOW’S SONG. When Friendship. Love and Truth abound Among a band of brothers, The cup of joy goes gaily round, Each shares th*' bliss of others. Sweet roses grace the thorny way Along the vale of sorrow, The flowers that shed their leaves to-day Shall bloom again to-morrow. How grand in age, how* fair in youth, Are holy “Friendship, Love and Truth.” On halcyon wings our moments pass, Life’s cruel cares beguiling, Old Time lays down his s<ythe and glass In gav good humor smiling. With ermine beard and forelock gray His reverend front admiring. He looks like Winter turned to May, Night softened into morning. How grand in age, how fair in youth, Are holy “Friendship, Love and Truth.’ From these delightful fountains flow Ambrosial rills of pleasure. Can man desire,can heaven bestow, A more resplendant. treasure? Adorned with gems so richly bright We’d form a constellation, When every star with modest light Shall gild his proper station. How grand in age, how fair in youth. Are holy “Friendship, Lore and Truth. Love is the principle of action for the good Odd Fellow. It is the element in which he moves, the grand motive power to his efforts for good. The beauty of the Order of Odd Fellows is seen in this, that it teaches and im presses the law of universal brother hood—our duty to love one another. T. MAGAZINE NOTES. A wonderful interest has been shown throughout the West in Prof. James Baldwin’s paper, “The Centre of the Republic,” in Scribners Magazine for April. It is an inspiring account of the rise and progress of the Ohio V alley, suggested by the centennial celebration soon to take place in Cincinnati. Prof. Baldwin’s account of what has been ac- complished produces a glow of patriot ism and makes his readers proud of their birthright. Dr. Calhoun Endorses Delectalave.

Jesup, Ga., May 26, 1887. I have been suffering from kidney di sease for a month past, and the pain in my back was very severe. My occu pation requires a good deal of writing at night and I suffered all the time. 1 saw one man who said he was cured by using Botanic Blood Balm, (B. B.

It is understood that Hon. A. O. Ba con will undoubtedly run for the Sen ate from Bibb. He had thought of go ing to the House, but did not want to antagonize Hon. A. S. Clay, of Cobb, for Speaker, so he will probably go to the Senate. If he is elected, as he probably will be, and Gordon should f o to the United States Senate, Mr. (aeon may find a short cut to the Gov ernorship.
