general invitation is extended to their
lenmity of the occasion.
Col. P.'S. Willcoxon has been invited
to deliver the literary address at the
approaching commencement of Senoia
High School. He is a graceful and elo
quent speaker, and we have no hesitan
cy in assuring our friends down there
that this feature of the week’s exer
cises will come fully up to their expec
tations.
Mrs. J. T. Longino, whose illness
was mentioned in our last issue, died
at her home in Fairburn on Thursday
night, 24th ult., ajid was buried the

mother of Mrs. B. T. Thompson, of

Mr. E. M. Cole spent several days in
Griffin this week inspecting the machin
ery and building of the Griffin Cotton
Mills, and obtained much information
that will be useful in preparing the
plans and specifications for our new
cotton factory. He went by invitation
of Major A. Randall, the efficient su
perintendent of the Griffin Mills, who
is conceded to be one of the most com
petent authorities on cotton manufac
turing in the State, if not in the South.
The revival meeting at the Baptist
church is increasing in interest and at
tendance with each service, and a
spirit of religious fervor is apparent
that presages a general awakening.
Rev. W. H. Cooper, of Cartersville, ar
rived last Monday, and his earnest and
impressive exhortations from day to
day have had much to do with the suc
cess of the meeting. Dr. Hall, the be
loved pastor, is also working constant
ly and untiringly, and his labors have
been equally blessed. Two services
are held each day, in the forenoon and
at night.
Col. J. Troup Taylor, a veteran jour
nalist and former citizen of Newnan,
is in the city looking up his old friends
and making as many new ones as his
limited stay will allow. Col. Taylor
has been journalizing clerk of the State
Senate for the past fifteen or twenty
years, and occupied a similar position
iu the House from 1853 to 18G0. Du
ring the war he was assistant clerk of
the Confederate Congress for one
term. While a resident of Newnan
he published a paper known as the
People's Defender, which is yet remem
bered by many of our citizens.
The moonlight picnic at Pearl Spring
Park on Friday evening last was a most
delightful affair. The weather was all
that could have been desired, and no
detail was overlooked that could in
any way contribute to the enjoyment
of the occasion. Mechanics’- Brass
Band accompanied the party, and such
a luxurious blending of music and
moonlight, of beauty and boating, is
rarely enjoyed even at that pleasant
resort, Mrs. AY. H. Gearreld and Mrs.
J. S. Powell acted as chaperones, and
to tlieir amiable and active efforts the
success of the affair is largely due.
Referring to the address delivered by
Major AY. A. Turner upon the occasion
of the annual Sunday-school celebra
tion at Fairburn a few days since, the
Campbell Count}/ Pews says: “At the
urgent solicitation of friends, Maj. AY.
A. Turner, of Newnan, whose pleasant
and smiling countenance greeted the
people, was prevailed upon to make
what he termed a little talk, but which
was a first-rate speech, though uttered
extemporaneously. Mr. Turner spoke
feelingly of his attachment for tiie peo
ple of Campbell, having began public
life as a citizen of the county, and
dwelt upon the close relations of va
rious interests between the counties of
Campbell and Coweta. The Major's
‘talk’ was highly appreciated and en
joyed by the assembly.”
Setting- a Good Example for His Geor-
g-ia Relative.
Judge AA'm. A Yells, our clever fellow-
townsman, has received the pleasing
announcement of the marriage of his
brother, Mr. J. H. AYells, of Portage,
AYis., to Miss Ida Robbins, of Dorches
ter. Wis., which took place at the home
of the bride’s mother on Wednesday
of last week. Commenting upon the
happy event, the Portage (Wis.) State
Register says:
“The groom is well known here in
Portage, where his home has been since
childhood, and more than a train-load
of congratulations went with him yes
terday to Dorchester. Mr. AYells has
served as city clerk and clerk of court,
and is known as a young man of unim
peachable integrity and honesty, which,
coupled with his genial personality,
renders him rightly a favorite with his
acquaintances. He is at present secre
tary and treasurer of the Register
Printing Company. The bride’s home
was also in Portage for many years and
her large circle of friends will be happy
to welcome her again in tlieir midst.
She is in every way fitted to complete
the happiness of the groom and orna
ment a pleasant home.”
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. G. W. Wells, of Oshkosh, a broth
er of the groom. Rev/jMr. AVells is
presiding elder of the Oshkosh circuit,
and one of the most prominent Metho
dist divines of that State.
A Delightful Entertainment.
Quite a large company assembled at
the residence of Dr. A. J. Lyndon on
Friday evening last to enjoy a concert
given by the members of Mrs. Grace’s
music class, and a more delightful ama
teur entertainment it has rarely been
our privilege to attend. The pro
gramme comprised a pleasing variety
of music, both vocal and instrumental,
and was a most interesting one in all
respects. The young ladies rendered
their parts most admirably, exhibiting
a proficiency no less creditable to
themselves than to the estimable and
accomplished lady who has been di
recting tlieir musical education for sev
eral months past. Indeed, the differ
ent. renditions were so excellent that
to mention each performance would be
mere repetition, and we will not at
tempt it. Suffice it to say, the enter
tainment was both a surprise and a
pleasure to the friends of the young
musicians, to whom all are indebted
for the pleasant evening enjoyed.
