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. May loth. 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- THIRD and last round.

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, lie lias cotton squares, little water melons and canteloupes. Excuse haste. I’m Liken in every respect. Zubetus. May 17th. Sharpsburg:. Mr. Editor:—Sharpsburg is situated ten miles east from - Newnan, seven miles west from Senoia, and is on the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama railroad. The population is about 110. We have one large brick building divid ed into two store-rooms, one of which is occupied by the Coweta Co-operat ivc Company, with Prof. A. S. Jones, bus iness manager, and Messrs. Thomas Bo hannon, Joseph Cole, and Paul Jack Pittman are salesmen. In the other portion of this building Dr. I). IT. Brown an<t*Mr. L. E. North are running a drugstore, with Mr. Bee Bohannon as salesman. Mr. II. II. Harrison has a grocery store down near the depot and is also our depot agent. Mrs. J. J. North is postmistress, and Mrs. Narcis sus Pitman, assistant. These ladies run i millinery establishment in connection with the postotlice. Mr. Josh Benton runs a wood and buggy shop. Prof. A. S. Jones has a ginnery anu saw mill, and Mr. B. J. Wiley runs it for him. Joe North has a blacksmith shop. Sharpsburg Academy still retains Prof. V. A. Ham as principal, and Mrs. Smith Carmical, assistant. Mrs. Ange lina Lumpkin has charge oft he music department. Rev. R. 1). Mallory, of Griffin, Ga.. is pastor of the Baptist church, and we have preaching every third Sabbath and Saturday evening before. We have Sabbath-school every Sunday evening. Mr. J. J. Farmer is superintendent, and Mr. John David Norris, assistant; Mrs. Angelina Lump kin is organist, and Messrs. R. A. North, Sr., and A. S. Jones, and Mrs. Lou Benton, Mrs. Cora Ham, Mrs. Lizzie Sharp, Mrs. J. J. North and Mrs. A. Lumpkin are teachers, with Mr. John Haines as librarian and secretary. The colored people have a Baptist and a Methodist church here Turin. 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. May 16th. ** R. A. T. 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. May 10th. Lutherville. Mr, Editor:—.!udge It. M. McCaslin. of Grantville, spent several days in our midst last week. Col. E. A. Pierce, of Hogansville, spent Tuesday with his parents here. Frank is a rising young lawyer, anil we predict that he will make a mark. Miss Carrie Strozier, of Greenville, is visiting her sister, Mrs. J. 1*. Barnette. Miss Same Albright has been on the sick list this week. Misses Rodgers, two charming young ladies of Atlanta, will spend several weeks with their cousin, Miss Annie Martin. Miss Effie Reeves, of Greenville, and Miss Lorena Phillips, of Lone Oak, are the guests of Miss Mamie IIinesi Messrs. Sam Ilill, Glenn Arnold and Tom Banks passed through town Mon day, en route for Hopkins’ pond. They returned home late with a string of several hundred “shiners.” Mr. Hill is a frequent visitor at the pond, and is a boss fisherman. Mr. Howard Williams left yesterday for East Point, where he will take a position in the wagon factory of Blount & Ilill, of Atlanta. Howard has tine mechanical talent, and we hope that he will succeed. Miss Annie Wilson, after a sojourn of several weeks at Whitesburg, is expect ed home this week. Prof, and Mrs. J. A. Quillian, of La Grange, spent hist Saturday night in Lutherville, the guests of Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Martin. The third Sunday in tills month set apart by the Methodist Conference as “ehilurr.n’s day.” The day will be appropriately observed by Lutherville church, and Mrs. Blanden, wit lithe as sistance of the superintendent, Mr. Albright, have arranged a splendid piogr.iiiiine. A short address will be made by the pastor, Rev. J. R. Parker. May i-ath. M. 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- Rev. V. A! j from each of these gentlemen. Prof. Ham serves Bethel church in Meri-; Pollock delivered a sound, practical ad- wether, Union and New Hope in Cow-! dress m the forenoon. Messrs. Lee eta, and Providence in Troup. Prof, j Hutchinson (Methodist), Noah Halle- J. R. Bohannon teaches school near man (Lutheran), and I). W. Urquhart Fail-burn. J. D. Norris serves County (Baptist), delivered addresses represent- Line church in Troup county. Messrs. ! inj their several schools, and their Eddie^Pittman, R. A. North, Jr., Paul speechescaine fully up to the^expecta- Puckett’s. Mr. Editor:—Mr. A. P. Camp and little daughters, from near Haralson, made a short visit here last week. Miss Pearl Duke, from Palmetto, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Sallie Mayfield. Miss Lena Yollenweider recently re ceived a cheek for $25 from her grand mother, in Germtfny. Mr. R. W. Webb 'attended the picnic Jack Pitman, Gayle W. North, Western and Razie Glass and Dock North com- S ose the present musical baud here. [. H. Harrison is our Justice of the Peace and W. F. Shropshire is Notary Public. Messrs. Miles Jones, L. Y. Johnson, Dub Bridges, II. A. Norris and Tom Bohannon compose our coun cil. Drs. D. II. Brown and R. W. North are our physicians. Dr. R. W. North, Miss Lizzie Haines Mrs. Lizzie Sharp, and Mr. A. J. Mills, whom we reported last week as sick, are improving. Dr. A. G. North, of McDonough, Ga., was here to see his father Saturday. Mrs. Cora Ham is visiting in our city this week. B. C. May 11. 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. May 14th. Blalock. After a week’s session of the Stall- Democratic Convention at Nashville. Robert L. Taylor has been renominatn. for Governor of Tennessee.
