SEASON 1888! Tlie Stanclarcl-Bred Trotting Stallion, NEWMAN, Sen-rta. Mr. Editor:—I)r. F. M. Brandy, wlv> extended his visit from Macon to por tions- of Southwest Georgia, has return ed and reports the business of the s>?c- t ion visited as encouraging. .radge B. F. Cock and his daughter, Miss Ida, returned Tuesday from tLeir visit to the centennial of the Baptist church at Bark Camp, Burke county. The occasion was-greatly enjoyed. We would here state that Judge Cock uni ted with that church fifty years ago— hence his visit there. Mrs. M. H. Couch has also returned from her visit to Borne. Mr. and Mrs. .T. T. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. M. II. Couch, and Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Watts, with Prof. Otis Jones and some of our juveniles, are off on a fish ing frolic to-day. The day is lovely, and there is plenty of water, but our opinion is the fish are not hungry. Well, the guano season is over—until next fall. There lias been about elev en hundred tons received,, and could orders have been filled no doubt the re ceipts would have reached fifteen hun dred tons—three hundred more than last season. Cotton receipts about 6,100 bales. Cotton chopping will be the order of the day for some time. Vincent. April 2d. Turin. Mr. Editor .-—The school at this place did not close last 3veek, as we stated, but will continue until the first day of J une. Dr. J. II. Hall writes that he will be present and will preach the dedication sermon at Starr’s mill on the third Sab bath in May. There will be preaching both on Saturday and Sunday, As there are quite a number of fine singers near the place, it is desired that they attend the services and aid in rendering the music. Prof. Albert Thurman is enjoying his vacation at home. At this penciling ram is needed for wheat and oats. Bust has appeared in the wheat and farmers predict another chaffy crop. Should this prove true, then good-bye to wheat-sowing in tlii- sect ion, for many are already discour aged by previous disasters and in a manner have abandoned sowing. Fried chicken is beginning to be hand ed around, and it just beats the tariff question “out of sight.” How is it that some men’s wind never tires on the tar iff issue? It seems to me that the back of this question might be a little chafed by this time. I suppose that if there were no money in the United States Treasury the clatter and the rattle on the question would subside quickly. A full treasury is far preferable to an empty one, and shows that the govern ment, after all the fuss that lias been raised, is in a good financial condition. It will be well if the people of the Uni ted States never feel the burdens of taxation more than they do now. It is not a bad idea to take care of the mon ey belonging to the government; nay, by all means let that be done. In years gone by cotton was cheap because, in part, there tvefre not the shipping facil ities ive noiv enjoy. Often the streams were low and not boatable, and there 5vould be an accumulation of cotton in the interior until the price was only nominal. In conversation with an old gentleman the other day lie remarked: “This is a bountiful country and I have never known goods cheaper.” Is that true? Then why so much complaint about the oppression of the govern- ment? Stop the extortion at home and then all will be right! Some twen ty years or more ago one-tenth of all that was made went to the support of the government, and then the people thought that indeed they had a right to murmur against high taxation, and so they did. But just think of it now, and what a contrast ? Let’s stop fret ting about heavy burdens. May 1st. B. A. T. 8029. Letters of Administration. GEORGIA—Co5veta County: K. L.

Misses Lou Camp and Minnie Moore have returned to school at LaGrange, after spending a few days at home. Mrs. Mary Brannon has returned home, after spending some time wltli her parents at Esom Hill. Mr. Phillip Smith, from Sunny Side, has been spending this week with his friends here. Miss Alice Martin has returned from a vis’t to relatives at Grantville. Sorry to hear of Mr. W. D. Dennie’s bad state of health. lie ivent to his mother's, in Merriwetlier county, and hasn’t been able to come home since. Mr. Thos. X. Bingham has been sick this week. Prof. A. E. Hindsman has closed his school at Amis’ church for about two months, after which time he will re sume his duties as teacher. Mrs. L. A. Knapp and children, also Miss Annie Felton, from Theills, X. _ Y., who have been visiting relatives i and friends here, leave for their home j Saturday, May 5th. Most any of “us” will make trades, when ive can trade our way. Ask Mr. Cul> Barnett how he wanted to trade his pretty little buggy last Sunday eve. Six hundred quarts of strawberries have been shipped from here during the past six days. These berries were gathered from not exceeding six acres of land, and have netted one hundred dollars or a little more- These are facts—no guessing about it. Mr. Smith, an experienced nurseryman, says they will be shipping berries.from here dur ing the month of June 1 it is seasona ble. Mrs.. Seleta Drake,, formerly of this community, notv of Paulding county, departed this life on Sunday, April 22, at her home. Her nearest relatives to mourn her loss were two step sons and a nephew. Mrs. Drake has quite a number of friends who will hear of her death witli sadness. Francis Drake, her husband, had preceded her four years and six months. What a joyful meeting of loved ones in heaven there will be for those who have been faith ful. The bereaved ones have our sym pathy. Mrs. Sallie Reid, from IlogausviUe, visited the family of Mr. Henry Couch this week. Zubktus. May 3d. Panther Creek. Mr. Editor:—Miss Zue Beavers is quite sick. Mrs. J. B. Newton has returned homo from Centre, Cherokee county, Ala., after a visit of six weeks to her son, Levi Newton. At Major T. F. Jones’ the other day Misses Pearl Jones and Florence Beese drew up a bucket of water from the well, and as they reached out for the buck et they discovered a water moccasin wrapped around the rope, which they had drawn from the bottom of the well. The little misses held heroically to the crank until help arrived anil his snakeship was dispatched. Noiv, how did that snake get into the well? Did he jump in, or did he come through some vein from a stream? It is half a mile to the nearest creek. Ever since I heard how badly that one treated Mother Eve, I lta\’e had a dislike for them, and whenever I see a man abus ing his wife or babies I think he is more snake than man. I ha5-e read of latter day saints, but I never read of latter day Democrats until Sam Small, Sam Jones and the “thiul party” came to tlie front. I learn that Mr. X. F. Hyde hits a very sick family—four members of his household being prostrated with mala rial fever. We are needing rain very much. The ground is as tight as Dick’s hat-band. Mr. A. B. Hyde and w ife went over c Hampton last Friday, to visit Mrs. Hyde's father, Elder II. Jones. Cotton seed are selling at 30 cents a bushel at Mineola, Texas. A great many of tlie citizens in this part of the county are in favor of abol ishing tlie new road law for this county and the City Court of Newnan. They say the City Court is a heavy tax on the county, simply to pay one man four dollars a day the year round, whether he works or not, and is an intolerable burden on the people. And, then, the law discriminates between citizens. No one but a practical lawyer can be Judge of the City Court. If he is an idiot and a lawyer lie is all right. No other citizen can be Judge—it matters not how 5vell informed he may be. Tie may be President of the United States, or Governor, or United States Senator, i or Member of Congress, or Represent-! ative in the Legislature, but he is not! qualified for City Judge of Newnan. 1 Miss Ann Carter has a bad rising on one of her fingers. We had a good singing at Macedonia last Sabbath evening. Singing at Lib erty next Sabbath evening. Elder Zack Ilardigree met his ap pointment at Liberty last Saturday and Sunday, and, I learn, preached tivo excellent discourses. The people are using more economy than I haTe ever known them to use. Nearly everybody sharpens their own plows tit home. They stick an old ! axe into a block, heat their plo4vs in ' the cook-stove while breakfast is being j prepared, and sharpen them, which saves a nickel on each plow. So, the high tariff stimulation is encouraging to home industry. Ripples. May 2d. ‘ Notes From Old McIntosh. Mr. Editor:—The young people re port a most pleasant gathering for last Saturday, on the shore of Carmical’s pond. Sharpsburg contributed largely to the number of participants, tv bile other communities in the district were well represented. Both Senoia and Sharpsburg bands furnished music, and, of course, added greatly to the enjoyment of tlie occasion. The de lightful day closed with a party in the evening at Mr. Sam Walker’s. A large number of the elite of Xew- naH’s colored population picnicked last Saturday on the banks of White Oak. Mr. R. X. Carmichael and his daugh ter, Miss Lillie, have been for several days visiting in their old neigborhooo. Friends of Mrs. Carmichael will b» glad to learn that her health ha* greatly improved since their removal to Atlanta. Mrs. Gable, 4vho has been quite sick for nearly two weeks, is, from last ac counts, we are glad to learn, improving. Mr. Daniel Jacobs is visiting among friends in Carroll. Our section is still suffering great];, from drouth. A genuine min-cloml last Monday p. m. gladdened our anxiou- hearts, but a few pattering drops were all that was granted us. The delusm prospect seems no5v to be succeeded l>5 a spell of dry, cool weather, which, ut course, has a depressing influence on growing crops. Subsukiiseil Mav 2d. THE MAY MAGAZINES. The May number of the Elects Magazine is filled with interesting mat ter for cultivated readers. The open ing paper by Sir Lyon Playfair is a vein suggestive and illuminating study ot the effects of applied science une; trade. Prof. Deroden’s article on Eu glish Literature and “The Profession of Letters” are strikingly interesting papers. Another literary paper of a historical nature sure to draw attention is from tlie Westminster Eerie w on “Hans Sachs; the People’s Goethe oi the Sixteenth Century. Matthew Ai noltl’s study of “Civilization in thr United States,” which has attracted such wide remark from its trenchant and incisive, if not always just criti cism, is one of the features of the num ber. “The Swarming of Men,” It; Leonard Courtney, shotting the ten deucy of men to aggregate like bees and the dangers of it, is an interesting article. No. 25 Bond street, Netv York. Harper's for May is a number of high standard of merit Tlie frontispiece is a portrait of Kinglake, tlie historian nl Lord Raglan in the Crimean war, en graved from a photograph by Kruell. The initial article, by B. B. Botvke, on “London as a Literary Center,’.’ pri seals many interesting facts about tlu- writers who have made that great city their homo. In “Russian Convicts in the Salt Mines of Iletsk,” 1)4\ Henn Lansdell, D. !>., relates his personal experience in Russia among the prison ers confined in prison or banished t- Siberia for all kinds of alleged crimes. Mis view is not the popular one of hor rors beyond description. Mr. Albert ' F. Heard contributes an article describ ing the system of alleged law and jus tice which prevails in Russia, not only in theory, but. in practice to-day. II< traces its origin, and points out itr wcaknesses and yet its adaptability ti the needs, of the Russian masses. In the article on t he City of Denver Ed ward Roberts gives a fpll, crisply told description of the Queen City of the Plains, with the Rocky mountains a! her backend 1 he Mississippi valley at Inri' feet. The departments show n< tailing off in interesting matter, liar per Brothers, Netv York. The May number of The Century be gins a netv volume. Tho opening arti cle is the first paper of the series In George Kerman, illustrated by G. A. Fr isf and Henry Sandham, in which i- to be recorded the results of The Cen tury Expedition into Siberia and exam ination of the exile system. The front ispiece of this'number is a touching scene at the Siberian boundary posf. In the “Author’s Preface,” Mr. Ken nan relates the circumstances undoi which he undertook lii.s Siberian mis sion. The illustrations are numerous, and there is a full-page map of tlu route pursued by the travelers on thei: extraordinary journey. Theodor Roosevelt, in his series of Ranch aril cles, describes (and Remington illus trates) his adventurous and amusing suit and capture of three boat-thieves., a short account of which appeared not long ago in the newspapers. Two bred papers appeal especially to the soldic; audience, but are of general interest je wel]. The first deals with “The chan ces of being hit in battle,” being “a study of regimental losses in the Civil Ward’ The second describes the fa mous “Locomotive Chase in Georgia,” one of the most thrilling incidents ot tlie war. The Lincoln Life deals espe cially with the efforts made to keep the Border States from Secession, am; Mr. Lincoln appears not only in this historical setting, but also as a character of«fiction in Eggleston’s Western novel. “The Graysons,” which is now ap- t reaching its; most interesting point. »r. Eggleston, in the May Century. publishes also an important chapter it: his colonial series, namely, his original account of “Tlie Church of England in the Colonies,” with a number of illus trations of churches, etc., and a por trait of Bishop Berkeley. The depart ments are unusually full, and such sub jects an* discussed as Civil Service I>.> - form and the coming National Conven tions; “The Newspaper Side of Liter;, tore”; the training of girls in the direc tion of self-support, manual training, Emerson’s Message, etc. The Cento ry Publishing Company, Netv York. The admission of Gen. Joseph E. John ston as a contributing member of tin Grand Army of the Republic is a: event worthy of note, and most of tin leading papers recognize it as such. The New \ ork Times calls Gen.
