All work first-class. Satis faction guaranteed. Your orders solicited bv WYLIE H. SIMS. Senoia. Mr. Editor:—Owing to business pres sure last week we could not write up onr usual contribution. We regret it very much as it'requires out report of the Senoia High School to appear rather late. The commencement sermon of the closing exercises was preached on Sun day, the 3d Jure, by Rev. A. M. Wil liams. of Columbus, Ga. The day was pleasant and the house was filled by tlie many patrons and friends of this deservedly popular institution. The discourse was based mainly upon the first-clause of the second verse of the 101st Psalm: “I will behave myself wisely in a perfect way”-—making be havior largely his theme. The discourse had the close attention of his large audience and was interspersed with many good thoughts. The morning and afternoon of Mon day were devoted to examination of the classes in the different branches of study, which was thorough and gave general satisfaction. The Monday ev ening programme was an excellent ar rangement for the little folks, who ac quitted themselves very nicely. Tuesday morning the salutatory was read in English by Miss Nora Caldwell; second in Latin by Tommie Summer, and third iw Greek by Frank Brown. The time was then occupied until II :20 o’clock, in declamation, essays and music by the Junior classes; and it is hardly necessary to say that all pupils acquitted themselves handsomely. At 11:30 o’clock Col. I’. S. Willcoxon, of Newnan, was introduced and delivered one of the most interesting and practi cal literary addresses that we have lis tened to in years. His subject, as stat ed in the outset, was “State Bride.” He referred to Massachusetts and Virginia (had not time to mention others) how they honored and commemorated their great men and noted events in their history, and made the application that Georgia was far behind these and other States in paying that tribute to her no ble sons and daughters, whose lives and labors have been devoted to ele vating her to that high and honored position she now occupies among her sister States. Georgia should, and Newnan no doubt does, feel justly proud of this, another one of her bril liant, rising sons. We were forcibly im pressed with the innate good sense ex hibited by the speaker. He knew just a hcri to quit. The exercises closed Tuesday night with a aery interesting entertainment by the school. Taken asa whole, the exercises com pared very favorably with any preced ing ones. From all we can learn, the trustees and patrons are well pleased with Prof. Brown and his charming daughter, Miss Blanche, who has charge of tin- primary department, Due notice will be given of the opening of the fall ses sion. Miss Jennie Arnall, the very efficient music teacher in tins school, goes to Gainesville to take charge of a music class in the female college in charge of President VanHoose. This we consid er a very high compliment to her 11m. - ical talent. Mrs. M. E. Haddin, of Kosciusko, Miss., is visiting her uncle, Judge B. F. Cock. Mrs. M. H. Salter, of Leesburg, Ga., is visiting the family of Mr. -J. T. Jones. Mrs. S. O. Smith and family visited relatives and friends at McDonough last-week. Since our last, Mr. and Mrs. R. II. Methvin lost their little son, Charlie. They have our sympathies. Capt. Jas. Graham and Mrs. L. P. Barnes are reported as slowly improv ing. Mr. W. F. Sibley improves slowly. Dr. Gus Brantly, of Decatur, Ga., spent some days with his parents, Dr. and Mrs. F. M. Brantly, last weea. June 13th. ‘ Vincent. AND Notice Convening Coweia Superior Court. MERCHANT TAILORING. Coweta Superior Court,< At Chambers, May 15. ISSS. > Ordered, Thai a special term of Coweta Superior Court be held at 10 o’clock, a. m., on the loth day of June, 1N38. for the purpose of "ranting charters to the “Newna>- Land Company." to the “Newnan Driving Associa tion, and to such other companies a* may de»ire it, S. W. HARRIS, J.S. C.C. C. I certify that the above order is a true ex tract from the minutes of Coweta Superior Court. This May loth, 1SSS. Daniel Swim, Clerk Superior Court. Puckett’s. Mr. Editor:—Mr. Orbe Carmical, from Atlanta, visited his parents here last Sunday. Misses Lou Camp and Minnie Moore, two of our accomplished young ladies, are now at home from school. Messrs. Camp & Cureton shipped a carload of grape baskets from here this week. The prospects for a melon crop are very sorry, indeed. Mr. J. T. Mayfield has the nicest little farm of anybody. Why don’t more of the farmers pattern after him. by working less acreage and working that well. - Bev. J. A. Parker delivered a most entertaining discourse on last Sabbath. His congregation was unusually large. The new church is completed, and bet ter accommodations will soon he offer ed church-going people. The oat crop In this section is splen did. Cotton is taking a start to grow. Mr. T. H. Gilbert died at his home in Meriwether on Friday morning, 8th inst., at 6 o’clock. Ilis death was very unexpected to his friends, for he was sick but a short while. His health generally was broken, however, and his constitution being exhausted, he was in no condition to stand the nature of his disease. Mr.Gilbert makes the fifth one of Ins family who has died in the past three years. His has been an ex ceedingly unfortunate family, there not being a day in ten months in which some member of it was not sick in bed. His remains were interred at the grave yard near Mr. Bingham’s mill, on Sat urday evening, at 3 o'clock. The body was taken in charge by the Masons, (after Dr. Cousins' words of consola tion to the bereaved family.) and was buried with Masonic honors. The distressed ones have our sympathy, but we would point them to Him, who can and will comfort them in time of need. Zubktus. June 14th. Turin. Mr. Editor:—Our people are antici pating the coming of tlm cars from Chattanooga, and hope that more and better accommodations will lie afforded to this section than has been shown in the past. If this had been done years ago the stockholders would not have had to part with their stock at a mere nominal sum. Such, however, is the way of the world. Somebody must be the gainer, while others lose." The commencement exercises of Prof. Pollock’s school were attended by your Turin reporter and he had the pleasure of meeting with a large num ber of friends. He enjoyed an excel lent sermon on the opening day, and listened to fine and appropriate music, led by Miss Belle Brantly, the organist and musical instructor of the school. Senoia is noted for her hospitality, and "R. A. T.” acknowledges his obli- gations for special courtesies to “Vin cent” and his kind lady, who know just how to make a guest feel at home. It is understood that Prof. Pollock will tender his resignation to the trustees at tHeir next meeting, much to the re gret of the patrons of the school. The Helping Hand Society will give, on the 29th inst., a supper of barbecued meats, with other corresponding edi bles The admission will be only 25 cents, t ome one and all, and feast on the finest supper ever given in Turin. The wood work on the Presbyterian Church is nearing completion, and the paint brush isalso being applied. Taken altogether the building presents a very ban dsom e ap pea ran ce. Capt. J. D. Hunter is in ill luck again, having lost another fine mule last week. One of our merchants purchased a lot of eggs last week, not dreaming of the surprising bargain he was getting; for soon lie heard the chirp of a young chicken, and upon examination found that his eggs were in an advanced stage of incubation. By placing the eggs in the warm sun lie soon had a lot of tine young chicks. Some men seem always to get the best end of a trade, and such happened to our merchant in his egg investment. Humor whispers that in the near fu ture several marriages will happen in these parts. Col. G. A. Carter, of Grantville, vis ited Turin a few days since, just to make himself familiar, and to see what the people think of his platform. The people want men that will not take a long grip on the State, but will get through with business and come home. AVe have had nice rains and crops are taking a fine start, although there are a number of crops that are not worked over the first time. Entirely too much planted in cotton for the number of farm hands in the country. Dr. Gay caught up hist week, and the boys say that the mumps could not do much with him. A subscription is being taken up to purchase a bell for the Methodist church at this place, and soon its sweet chime will be heard inviting the peo ple to the service of the Lord. The dedication service of Glen Grove church takes place next Sabbath. Sev eral ministers will be present on that occasion. R. A. T. June 13th. Sharpsburg. Mr. Editor:—Prof. V. A.flam’s school closed last night. He has spent two weeks in reviewing and examining his pupils, lie put up a prize lor the one that stood the best examination. The following is a list, with average stand ing, of those pupils who ranked above d:Y in the examination : Miss Bessie Orr, 99?; Miss Mamie Harrison, 98 55-93; Miss Mary Bohan non, 98 1-10; Miss Katie Carmical, 95 11- 13; Miss I.ove Hanes, 96*; Miss Lizzie Ilanes. 904; Miss Emma Ham s, 93 3-5; Miss Beatrice Farmer, 95 1-5; Miss Mary Carmical, 93 7-10; Miss Everett Benton, 95|; Miss Corsie Farmer, 95J; Mr. Oiic John Vance, 97»; Mr. John David Xorris, 97*; Mr. Joseph Cole, 97 5-7; Mr. Paul Jack Pittman, 97 27-2.8; Mr. George Parks, :>5.l; Mr. Boy Glass, 93; Mr. Walter Goodwyn, 954; Mr. Willie B. Orr, Jr., 93 1-12; Mr. Jimmie Cole 96*. All the rest stood very good exami nations. Some had stopped a few weeks before the examination, and I have not the record of the others. The above will give the public an idea of the standing of the entire school. In stead of having an exhibition at night, I’rof. Ham gave a lemonade party; the girls brought the cake and some sugar, tlie bovs brought the lemons, Prof. Ilam the ice and the rest of tlm sugar. The stage was nicely decorated with llowers, and a large crowd was present. After the children and young people had enjoyed themselves to satiety in playing, chatting, etc.. Prof. A. S. Jones delivered an excellent address in behalf of the school and teachers. He also presented the prizes. Miss Bessie Orr received the first prize, Miss Mamie Harrison the second, and Mr. Raymond Wynn one for spelling. Prof. Ham then thanked the students for their kindness and good behavior dur ing the term, and the patrons for their liberal patronage. The following ladies were appointed to carve the cake and to prepare and distribute the refresh ments: Mrs. Flla Brown, Mrs. Come Ham, Mrs. Smith Carmical. Mrs. Nar- cissus Pittman. Mrs. Angelina Lump kin and Mrs. Alice Jones. It goes without saying that everybody was bountifully 'served. The Sharpsburg band furnished music for the occasion. Prol. Ham and Mrs. Carmical are most excellent teachers, and their pupils love and esteem them highly. Rev. .John J. Farmer, who has been in the Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville, Ky., is spending a few weeks here. Mrs. J. J. North has been very ill this week. Mr. R. A. North, Sr., has about re covered from his recent illness. Col. Luther Farmer i> spending a few weeks with hi* father, Mr. J. J. Farm- j er, Sr. Mr. H. H. Harrison is visiting hi«' father, who is very sick at his home! near Atlanta. Prof. A. S. Jones has had his yard j paled in. Mrs. Mary Bridges has had her yard j fence painted. Col. George Carter, of Grantville, was j here yesterday. Some of our people I have fallen very much in love witn him. j We would be glad to have him come among u* again. B. C. June Sth. vast amount of money in jail fees in misdemeanor cases. There are but few parties that ever go to jail for misde meanors. The bonds in such cases are generally light, and somebody is al ways willing and waiting to go on such bonds, in order that they may get hands to work. I don’t remember any mis demeanor case in this section where the party was sent to jail in default of bond. It costs about as much to try a case in the City Court as it does in the Superior Court, and if there has ever been a white man convicted in the City Court, 1 can’t remember who it was or when. I know a man who is now be ing sued in the City Court, and who lias no desire to go to Newnan. But for the convenience of the lawyers men are compelled to attend the City Court, and pay more costs than they wouln otherwise have to pay in the Justice Courts. Then they are cut off from ap pealing to the Superior Court. If the City Court should err. the error can on ly be corrected by carrying the case up to the Supreme Court, and but few art- able to do t hat. Consequently, justice may be defeated. There is no Court so perfect but that it may err sometimes. Judge McClendon says there is so much more litigation now than there was fifty years ago. This seems a little strange when we take into consideration that there is not as much property now as there was fifty years ago. It is true we have the same number of acres of land, but we have no slave property. Land is worth less, because more of it is worn out, and the farmers are all broke and are growing poorer every day, they say. 1 don’t think it is the common people that causes the abun dance ot litigation; for it is said that the whole world is fast becoming civilized, Christianized and lawyeriz- ed. No. The fact is, there are more lawyers than cases, and there is where* the litigation comes in. The great Lawgiver only gave ten laws to govern mankind and their ac tions, and 1 reckon he had about as much sense as the General Assembly of Georgia. The City Court holds quarterly terms and each week the per diem of tin- jury amount-'to 8180. The cost of the City Court for one year will amount to 82,000 or 82,500, not including the sala ry of the Judge or what the Solicitor may receive. All others courts are uni form in practice, but the City Court is not. If the City Court is to be for the whole county, why not let its officers be elected by the people? The Court of Ordinary is a County Court and is of vastly more importance than the C'L' Court. That Court is elected by the people, and it don’t take ,, lawyer G make a good Ordinary, either. 1 reckon the reason why these Courts have to be called City Courts is t hat the eonV€ ntini; which framed the Constitution of J8n was composed of town gentlemen, sun •hr to those who drafted the Cit; Court bill of Newnan. Some one has said that if the peopfi want I he City Court abolished, let tin Democratic voters at a primary elec tion indorse on'their tickets for 01 against. This would not be fair, be cause we have other good citizens win do not belong to the Democratic parti and their wishes ought to be consulted and their rights respected. Let even legal voter speak out and say whether* lie wants the Court or not. This, > think, would be right and satisfactory Tit. heaviest tariff the people of Geor gia have to bear is to keep up uselea officers and their bureaus and courts. Hons. J. I>.

She died yesterday sr noon at the residence of her sou George Jones, Esq., where she hat gone not long since on a visit.
