TAX RECEIVER’S NOTICE.
Senoia.
Mr. Editor:—Considerable frost was j
visible yesterday morning (15th,) on 1
fresh plowed lands lying near the water |
courses. Reports reach us that cotton !
was killed near Flint river, though it is j
thought that enough will be left fori
a stand. Its blighting effects were to
be seen on some of the upland cotton I
around Senoia.
The Midville (Burke county,) corres
pondent of the Macon Daily Telegraph
of the 9th inst., has this to say about
the recent centennial of the Baptist
Church at Bark Camp:
“The exercises were interesting. Revs.
W. M. Verdery, W. L. Kilpatrick, D.
1)., J. J. Davis*and others, taking part.
The meeting was presided over by
Rev. J. J. Ilyman. The paper of Dr.
E. R. Carswell, Sr., read by J. J. Davis. •
was regarded as good. The historical!
address by the Rev. W. L. Kilpatrick,
1). I)., was all that heart could wish.
The music was most excellent. The
centre of attraction was Brother B. F.
Cock, who now lives at Senoia, but who
formerly lived here, and who was a
member of this church fifty years ago.
Brother Cock’s grandfather deeded the
ground t«> the church that it now occu
pies. Also, Mrs. Betsy Harris, who
assisted Brother Cock fifty-one years
ago in teaching a Sunday school at this
church; and we must not* leave out Mrs.
Pope, who has been a good and faith
ful member for fifty-eight years.”
In addition to what the correspond
ent stated above, we will add that
Judge Cock’s grandfather bought and
settled on t hat place in 1705; that Judge
Cock’s mother joined that church in
1802, at the early age of eleven years.
His father-joined there at an earlier
date, and his sleeping dust lies near
there awaiting the resurrection morn.
Judge Cock was born in 1812, and his
recent visit there forms one of the most
pleasant episodes of his declining days.
Our feelings are tenderly touched when
we retrospect the past, but hope Di
sputes the aged pilgrim of a reunion in
that glorious morn—beyond “the part
ing and the weeping.”
Our sympathies go out to brother
“Ripples” in his sad loss, but rejoice
to know that he is surrounded by such
good neighbors. We believe this coun
try has many good Samaritans in it,
with few priests and Levites.
We feel constrained to say that we
are well pleased with the newsy col
umns of The Herald and Adver
tiser. There are evidences of pro
gressive improvement in every depart
ment. Its columns are filled with
choice reading matter; and how could
it be otherwise with its wideawake, en
terprising editor? His selections are
most admirable. There were several
pieces in the last issue worth the price
of the paper—such as “Domestic Felic
ity,” “Social Life in Chicago,” “Tal-
mage’s Income,” (wish the writer could
have s.aid how it went and how many
were blessed lie did not know,) with
many others, not least among which
was the “History of the Bustle”—‘nit
we will not descant upon the article so
much sought to add to female attrac
tiveness.
The readers of The Herald and
Advertiser may be curious to know
why the delay of that exhilarating ar-
ticTe promised them a short time ago.
Well, we did write a splendid article,
tee thought, and gave it a send off—
and we are inclined to believe that it
fell into the hands of some designing
editor, and that he caught on to its
narrative (cautiously with the tongs it
may be,) and gave it a horizontal fling,
and it found lodgment in that editorial
receptacle known as the waste-basket.
Two years ago our young men and
youths, during the dull season, em
ployed most of their leisure time in
playing base-ball; last year in pitching
dollars and donkey shoes; this year
marble playing is all the rage.
A rather*verdant preacher lias been
accused of saying that there was one
thing very remarkable about a woman;
that was, she always put the left shoe
on last.
Two bottles arrived yesterday from
the east; two citizens reported sick;
both up to-day.
Mrs. D. P. Barnes is quite sick. # We
hope for an early improvement.
Mr. W. F. Sibley is not improving
much.
Mr. J. T. Jones is visiting Griffin
to-dav.
Editor Brown and family have had,
we hope, a pleasant sojourn among the
Senoians, Vincent.

at Corinth last Saturday. He re
ports a boss time.
Miss Annie Summers, from Haralson,
visited Miss Alice Martin recently.
Mr. Hiram E. McClure, from Colum
bia. S. C., visited relatives here this
week.
Our nearest bachelor friend had a
very complimentary call paid him this
week. Ilis yard was nicely swept and
a note of sympathy written and left
where he’d see it. I am afraid, our
friend is “Liken” in some respects, (of
the enjoyments of this life) that would
be afforded him if he were differently
situated.
Mr. W. II. Dodds lias put aside his
crutch and,is wearing his shoe. We are
glad to see him getting about so well.
Miss Mary Likens from Hogansville,
is visiting Miss Emmie Ilindsnian.
J. C. Brannon & Co., rec* ived en
couraging news from their oat crop in
Polk county this week. A gentleman
who rode all over the county, says they
"“are the finest he has seen.”
Mr. J. C. Fuller, from Atlanta, was
here this week looking after his inter
ests at this place. Mr. Fuller claims
all mankind, and more especially to the
household of the faithful..
The weather is too cool even for sin
gle people to be comfortable, and I
think it is having some effect on loving
hearts. If you hear of a wedding or
two don’t become alarmed and think
that Noah’s flood is going to occur
again.
There are more new buggies being
bought now than at any time within my
recollection. It seems that the people
think the price will go up if the tariff
act is repealed.
While in Newnan one day last week
my attention was called to a company
of young ladies from Sargent’s factory.
They were all nicely dressed, and one
would have taken them to be ladies
from our rural districts. Some people
have always had a disposition to look
upon people who work in factories, and
especially ladies, as rather belonging
to the lower class of society; but it i-
as honorable and respectable to work
in our cotton factories and it is to labor
in a millinery shop or to clerk or teach.
Work is honorable, it makes no differ
ence where done, and is the lever pow-
Puckett’s as his town, and says he “isserofthe world. Some people are in-

gress.”
Rev. J. R. Parker, from Grantville,
filled his appointment here Saturday
and Sunday. He preached a most im
pressive sermon on Sunday to a good
audience.
Sorry to learn that Miss Gena McCol
lum has been ill this week.
l)r. G. E. Camp has bought a vacant
lot on which to build a warehouse. The
Doctor is an enterprising gentleman,
and when he sets his head on doing a
thing you may bet on its being done
right.
Col. Cecil Gabbett stopped here some
little time last Tuesday, (pay day,)
and was heard to remark that he^ was
going to build a depot at Puckett’s.
There will be preaching here on the
fourth Sunday by some Baptist minis
ter, in the interest of the new church
that is to be organized here.
Mrs. J. R. Cotton, from Grantville,
visited her mother* Mrs. A. L. Bran
non, this week.
Mr. John M. Cotton gets there first,

melons and canteloupes.

Mr. Editor:—The Presbyterian church
at this place will soon be ready for oc
cupancy, as the work is progressing
finely. Only a few weeks and Dr.
Stacy and his earnest flock will have a
handsome building to worship in.
Our school closes its spring term with
Friday of this week. Both teachers
and students have applied them
selves well and the patrons give
hearty approval for the faithful ser
vice rendered. After a brief rest the
school will be resumed through the
summer months.
It is only now and then that Ed.
Bridges must needs be reported, but he
is so happy because it’s another little
Mist at nis* house that he must be heard
from.
Mrs. Adolphus Hardy has had pro
tracted sickness .from an attack of
mumps.
Mr. William Gay aud lady, of Park
er’s mill, were among kinsfolk in these
parts a fefv days since. The weather
has been cool and real chilly this week,
making vegetation look rather droopy.
Well, parotitis (or as the Turin boys
i say, mumps,) seized R. A. T. last week,
causing him to house up for a few days,
and he now hopes the worst is over
with.
Miss Iula Page is off to the “Gate
City,” taking drawing lessons.

dined to abuse manufactories and call
them monopolies, and labor hard to
prejudice the employes against their
employers. When I read papers that
are abusing our large factories, I am
not surprised when I see *and read of
strikes. Very often these strikes are
brought about by newspapers and their
correspondents meddling net ween labor
and capital. Ripples.

Eureka Mills.
Mr. Editor:—The picnic was quite a
success, but there is one thing needed
at Mt. Pilgrim and the Lutheran breth
ren realized that fully on last Saturday
—a larger and more commodious house
of worship; one that will comfortably
seat the growing congregation. Dr.
Tigner, the pastor, deserves great honor
for the success of the annual picnic and
Sunday-school reunion. Editor Brown,
of Tiie IIkrald and Advertiser,
and Coweta's next Represntative in the
Georgia Legislature, Hon. W. Y. At
kinson, came in on time and the people
listened to two splendid addresses, one-

wether, Union and New Hope in Cow-! dress m the forenoon. Messrs. Lee

Line church in Troup county. Messrs. ! inj their several schools, and their

Miss Pearl Duke, from Palmetto, is

Miss Lena Yollenweider recently re
ceived a cheek for $25 from her grand

Panther Creek.
Mr. Editor:—Dr. Barrett preached a
very interesting discourse at Macedonia
on last Sabbath to a very attentive aud
ience.
Mr. W. F. Sewell and wife have the
sympathies of this entire community
in the death of their little boy, Jona
than, which occurred last Friday night,
May 11th.
Dr. Barrett will preach, at his next
appointment at Macedonia, (the second
Sunday in June,) the funeral of the in
fant of Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Montgom
ery, which died a few weeks ago.
Mr. C. H. Newton reports cotton
squares.
Mr. M. W. Coats lost a valuable mule
last Friday—the only one he had. This
is quite a serious loss at this season of
the year, but I learn that our Alliance
club made him up some fifty or sixty
dollars on InG Saturday with which to
purchase another. The Alliance beats
the church in helping the unfortunate.
I learn that Esquire Tolen Motes, of
Cedar Creek district, lost a horse last
week, and I suppose that the Alliance
Lodge to which ne belongs will respond
to his misfortune, as that is one of the
principles of the order—to do good to
tions of the schools represented. Griffin.
Greenville, Lutherville, Rocky Mount,
Harrisonville,Brooks Station,Turin and
Senoia furnished some as lovely youm.
ladies as it lias been my pleasure to look
upon in a long time. Old bachelors were
as thick as gnats, and some of them
did “look and long.” My little friend
from Lutherville, Miss Jessie A., wa-
accompanied by a bachelor, who, from
his aetiohs, evidently means business.
Remember, Miss Jessie, your promise
of cake and coffee.
We voters down in this comer begin
to feel like we should have a little hon
or bestowed upon us. This neck of
land known as Haralson district has
never, in the recollection of the oldest
inhabitant, had a Representative in the
State Legislature. Still we are known
and felt on the tax digest. To the con
vention to meet in Newnan soon for
the purpose of nominating candidates
for that honor, we beg leave to prese*'-
the name of R. K. Brandenburg, a
sound, solid Democratic Farmers’ Alli
ance man, to the consideration of your
suffrage. A man fully competent, one
we are willing to risk, and who we kno^
will represent the whole people. He
the soul of honor—one who will plan;
himself on right and justice and oi;
that platform stand or fall. He, as one
of the people, is in full sympathy with
the people, and, in my judgment, a bet
ter team cannot be found in Coweta
than Atkinson and Brandenburg. The;
would work together, for they are a
“unit” on all the important issues that
will come before the next Legislature.
Miss Stella Griffin, of Waverlv Hal!,
who has been spending some time with
the family of Mr. W. O. Herndon, re
turned home to-day—and Stockton
Addv and Oscar Gray are disconsolate.
