One of Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Carpen ter’s children has been sick for a week or so, and fears were entertained at one time that it would not recover.

If the LaGrange colleges don’t want their prize medals carried off they will have to close their doors against the Newnan girls. Hon. wTa. Post and Col. R. I. O’Kelly, of Grantville, were in the city Monday on business connected with their profession. Dr. W. L. Hitchcock is building a large pond and laying off a park just outside the limits of Carrollton, which, when completed, will be a popular re sort for pleasure seekers. It is a min iature imitation of Pearl Spring Park. Mr. J. B. Walker says the Sixth dis trict has subscribed twenty-six carcases for the soldiers’ reunion dinner, in Ju ly, and a snug sum of money besides. This is a fine showing for the old Sixth and places her in the lead of all the country districts. Rev. W. R. Foote has been invited to preach the commencement sermon at Lutherville on Sunday next, and we are authorized to announce his accep tance of the invitation. His pulpit will be occupied on that day by Rev. J. B. Hunuicutt, of Turin. In the Ordinary’s Court last Monday letters of administration were granted to R. L. Hardy on the estate of W. W.

Jones, has been prostrated at the home of the latter for two or three w r eeks past with a se rious illness. We regret to know that there has been but little improvement in her condition since she was first stricken, and owing to extreme age and feebleness her recovery will be neces sarily slow. Col. Hogansville People's Paper: G. A. Carter, formerly a citizen of Ho gansville but now a citizen of Grant ville, Coweta county, we learn is a can didate for the Legislature from Coweta county. Col. Carter will make the people a good Representative. He is a good lawyer and a conscientious man, and will work to the interest of his constituents.” The Newnan Carriage and Buggy Works have turned out twenty buggies and four phaetons since the shops were started up five months ago, and as many more are now in process of con struction. But for the difficulty and delay experienced in procuring the services of a competent trimmer, at least forty vehicles would have been finished up. This want has at last been supplied, however, in the person of Mr. A. D. Wamerling, of Baltimore, who is an artist in his line and is turn ing out some of the nicest work ever seen in the State. We see from the Covington Enter prise that Rev. E. J. Beadles has been preaching against the evils of horse swapping over in that county. We are afraid some of the Snapping Shofclg boys have been trifling with our old friend since he entered the missionary field, and perhaps taken advantage of his innocence by working off an aged an d infirm horse upon him. If this be true, no one will deny that his animadversions on that subject were fully justified, be cause we happen to know the sort of a horse he probably obtained. In fact, we know the boys. pen- mg of the session in September, if de sirable.

Judge Bigby appeared to be the most popular of all the Newman visitors at the LaGrange commencement. He was decorated with badges by both the college societies. which The Helen Vaughn Troupe, played a week’s engagement here early in the spring, went to pieces in Chatta nooga last week. It was a good show and deserved a better fate. Miss Jennie Ramey shot and killed a fox in her father’s yard one day last week. It had made frequent depreda tions upon the poultry before it was finally discovered and killed. Cotton-choppers are in active and ur gent demand now. The price paid good hands ranges from 50 to 75 cents per day, according to the farmer s ex tremity or the length of his purse. Col. GeoTA. Carter, of Grantville, mingled a few.fleet hours with his New nan friends Tuesday, and improved the opportunity to put in a word here and there where it would do the most good. Col. A. D.

Fuller, came here two or three weeks ago on a visit and shortly after wards was taken sick. She has been seriously ill for several days, though we are glad to know is now much bet ter and in a fair way to recover. The Southern Mutual Insurance Company, of Athens, excels itself this year in declaring an 82 per cent, divi dend to its policy-holders. This is a marvelous record, and will result in the saviag of 8191,000 to the people of Georgia in insurance premiums. Mrs. J. W. Willcoxon, of Lodi, is re ported dangerously ill. Her condition for several days past has been such as to excite the gravest apprehensions on the part of her family and friends, and we regret to know there is but little change for the better at this writing. On Friday morning last, at Columbus, Miss., Prof. Chas. C. Cox, of the South ern Female College, LaGrange, was united in marriage to Miss Mamie Ba con. The bride is the daughter of Mil- ton E. Bacon, the founder of the Southern Female College, and at the time of her marriage was Mistress of Latin in the State Industrial Institute for Women, at Columbus, Miss. Newnan and LaGrange are both con templating holding county fairs this fall. If Heard will join them either city could successfully carry out the project. And Heard will chime into the music of a nice invitation. By building a railroad through the county, and once showing to the world the fertility of our soil, the val ue and diversity of our minerals, and the magnitude of our w T ater power, would at once give us a position and prestige far above the most fanciful dreams of the greatest enthusiasts. But now is the time to improve our op portunities.— Franklin News. Keep your money at home. Spend it among your home folks and you stand ajcliance to get it back; but every dollar you spend away from home is gone forever. A dollar spent in some other town helps to build up that community, but you are not benefited. No matter if you gain an apparent ad vantage or save a few cents on every transaction made, in the end you will be the loser. Think of this. The committee appointed by the County Alliance several weeks since to investigate and report as to the practi cability of establishing an Alliance warehouse in this city, met last Satur day. The project is strongly recom mended by the committee, who report ed in favor of the purchase or lease of a suitable building to be in readiness for the storage of the next crop. Mr. W. M. Redwine was chairman of the committee. When a subscriber to a newspaper desires to have his paper discontinued here is the proper way to do it: Pay up all you owe the publisher, getting a receipt in full, and tell him to stop it. Should the publisher send the paper on, refuse to take it out of the post- office. It is the duty of the postmaster to inform publishers when subscribers fail from any cause to take their papers out of the office. They have blanks furnished them by the Postoffice De partment for that very purpose. A failure to do so makes them responsi ble for the subscription. A subscriber cannot have his paper discontinued, however, until all arrearages have been paid, and the publisher may continue to send it until settlement is made. Lutherville Institute.

If they are a fair sample of the horticultural re sources of that favored locality, we don’t blame the White Oak people for calling it the garden spot of the county. Rev. John J. Farmer, who is taking a course in the Baptist Theological Sem inary at Louisville, Ky., is here on a visit to his brothers and other relatives. He occupied Dr. Hall’s pulpit last Sun day night, preaching an excellent ser mon to a large and appreciative congre gation. Col. J. C. Newman placed on our table last Monday the largest and finest peach we have seen this season. It measured eight inches in circumference, and was as delicious in taste as in ap pearance. He has about seventy-five trees of the same variety, and all are in fruit. We have received the first number of the Atlanta Commonwealth, an eight- page paper published in the interest of the temperance cause in Georgia. It is a straight out prohibition paper, and promises to let the world know in facts this county, who died at his home in the Fourth district on the 30th ult., af ter a brief illness.

A re mittance of 82 to the Commonwealth Pub. Co., Atlanta, Ga., will secure the member. The funeral discourse was preached by Rev. F. J. Amis. Deceas ed was 57 years of age at the time of paper for twelve months. Dr. A. C. North and Capt. J. R. Mc Collum went to Atlanta last Friday to attend a meeting of the executive com mittee of the old 7th Georgia Regiment. The survivors of this gallant command, as well as of the 1st Georgia Regiment and 12th Georgia Battalion, (of whom there are quite a number in Atlanta,) are very enthusiastic over the ap proaching reunion and will attend in full force. A special train will be chartered for the 21st prox., and a brass band has already been engaged to ac company the party from Atlanta. his death, and leaves a wife and nine children. Alliance Notice. The regular quarterly meeting of the Coweta County Farmers’ Alliance will convene in Newnan, Ga., July 4, at 10 o’clock A. M. At that meeting new officers will be elected for the ensuing year, and two delegates selected to the State Alliance, which meets in August.

North was requested to make a statement as to what arrange ments had been made for the proposed reunion on the 21st of July with the 1st Georgia Regiment, the 12th Geor gia Battalion and the Coweta County Confederate Veterans’ Association. The report made was received and adopted. On motion, C. K. Maddox, W. H. Clayton and James M. Berry were ap pointed a committee on transportation, who were directed to communicate with G. W. Ramey and A. C. North, a similar committee from Coweta. On motion, C. II. Wells and C. K. Maddox were appointed a committee on programme, and G. W. L. Powell and James M. Berry were appointed a committee on music. C. H. Wells was authorized by the executive committee to provide suita ble badges for the regiment. On motion, each member of the ex ecutive committee was requested to solicit contributions with which to de fray current expenses and report at our next meeting, July 4th. W. L. Norman, the color-bearer of the 7th Georgia Regiment at the first battle of Manassas, was requested to have the flag present at our reunion on the 21st prox. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. John Dunwoody, Chm’n. W. J. Hudson, Sec’y. Marion Harland. The celebrated authoress, so highly es teemed by the women of America, says on pages 103 and 445 of her popularwork “Eve's Daughter's • or, Common Sense for Maul, Wife and Mother:” “For the aching back—should it be slow in recovering its normal strength —an Allcock’s Porous Plaster is an excellent comforter, combining the sensation of the sustained pressure of a strong warm hand with certain tonic qualities developed in the wearing. It should be kept over the seat of uneasi ness for several clays—in obstinate cases, for perhaps a fortnight.” “For pmn in the bad: wear an All- cock’s Porous Plaster constantly, renewing as it wears off. This is an invaluable support when the weight on the small of the back becomes heavy and the aching incessant.” Dr. MoM’s 1EETHINA (Teething Powders) A11kv= IrritaMnn.
