“Dr. Stacy’s address was exceedingly
interesting, holding the exclusive at

an hour. In the treatment of this sub

perspicuous, logical, direct. He cover
ed a great deal of ground, and stated
his propositions with great clearness.
His illustrations were natural and viv
id. Ilis conclusions were convincing.
His reasoning carried conviction in its
train. It was a masterful disquisition
on the doctrines of Galvanism, and is
well worth publishing in full. The

Death’s Doings.
We are deeply pained to chronicle
the death of Mrs. Sarah A. Robinson,
relict of the late John E. Robinson,
which occurred on Monday night last,
after a two days’ illness, from a stroke
of apoplexy. Deceased entered upon
the 69th year of her age only a short
time before her death, though she had
been in declining health for a year or
more. She was a prayerful and faith
ful Christian, and had been a consistent
member of the Newnan Baptist church
for fifty-two years. The funeral ser
vices were held in the church where
she so loved to worship when in life,
the sermon being preached at 8 o’clock
Wednesday’ morning by the beloved
pastor, Dr. J. H. Hall. The remains
were then borne to their last resting-
place and interred beside those of her
lamented husband in the family in
closure. The funeral was largely at-

Ordination Services.
On Sunday morning last, at the Bap
tist church. Judge T. C. Carleton was
regularly ordained to the ministry.
The ordination services, which were
peculiarly solemn and impressive, were
conducted by Dr. J. H. Hall, assisted
by Rev. E. R. Carswell, Jr., of Elber-
ton, Ga., Rev. J. J. Farmer, of Louis
ville, Ky., and Rev. J. B. S. Davis, of
this city. Rev. E. R. Carswell preach
ed the sermon and Rev. J. B. S. Davis
delivered the charge. Both were fine,
and deserve more liberal and commen
datory’ mention than our limited space
will allow. The candidate for ordina
tion received his orders with becoming
Christian dignity, though manifesting
a spirit of humility as gracious as it was
serious and sincere. He will enter ac
tively into the work of the ministry,
having already received a call from the
Baptist church at Decatur, and we pre
dict for him a career of usefulness that
will rapidly bring him to the front
rank of the profession which he has
so well chosen. *
He Wanted an Ox Team.
Our clever Ordinary expressed his
intention last Saturday, of buying an
ox and cart, so that he could go and
come at pleasure, and not be depen
dent on eccentric railroad schedules
or upon the whims of liverymen. Half
an hour afterwards a party entered his
office stating that he had understood
that the Judge wanted an ox. “No,”
said the Judge, “you are probably
looking for Dan Svvint; his office is at
the end of the hall.” Another came
in, and another, and others still. They
then began entering by twos, and ere
long the Judge was holding a regular
levee. Each ox offered had some spe
cial point of excellence;—they would
work in single or double harness; could
go any gait under the saddle; were
not afraid of Alabama slings, would
carry themselves with head up and tail
erect, etc. One was recommended for
his width between the horns, affording
a fine saddle place, with his ears on
each side to act as fans during the
heated term. Some would come with-1
out calling, follow without tolling,
stand without tying, pull without
blowing. Some would even kindle
fires, bring water, and sweep out.
The Judge has bought and doesn’t
want any more, no matter how excel
lent they may be. However, he re
commends any one in need of an ox to
come to Coweta county. He thinks
there are more good oxen here than in
the balance of the world, and they are
all for sale.
Another Southern Outrage.
One morning last week when the
early northbound passenger reached
LaGrange a negro man boarded the
train and boldly pushed his way into
the car set apart for the accommoda
tion of white passengers. He se
cured a seat and, despite the protesta
tions of the passengers, proceeded to
make himself at home. The re
monstrances of the conductor proved
equally unavailing, and he appeared to
be master of the situation. When the
train arrived at this point several pas
sengers were in waiting, among whom
was a gentleman well known for his
antipathy to the fourteenth amend
ment and the several provisions there
in contained. As he entered the car

The choir service at the Presbyterian
church has been greatly improved re
cently, and now comprises some of the
best vocal and musical talent in town.

it has proven a most pleasing and har-
who has already mastered a number of
popular sacred airs and renders them
most charmingly. The choir holds
weekly meetings for practice.
Mrs. Sarah E. Jones, whose illness
was mentioned in this paper last week,
grew suddenly and alarmingly worse
last Friday, and about noon she
breathed her last. She was the moth
er of Major George Jones, of this city,
whom she was visiting when taken ill
three or four weeks since. Her many
friends in Newnan were unremitting in
their attentions during her short ill
ness, sharing with equal sadness the
anxiety and solicitude suffered by her
family, and when the final hour of dis
solution came they were equally sin
cere in their grief. The remains were
carried to Macon for interment on Sat
urday, being accompanied thither by
her two sons, Col. J. E. Jones of Ma
con, Major Geo. Jones of this city, and
other relatives and friends. We sym
pathize with the family in their be
reavement.
Meeting: of the County School Board.
The Board of Education of Coweta
county met in regular session on Tues
day of last week. It will be remember
ed that, last January, the old Board
discarded Appleton’s readers and
adopted Lippincott’s instead. Apple-
ton asked the new Board to rescind the
order adopting Lippincott’s books.
Lippincott’s agent being present, re
sisted this. The Board, we under
stand, were divided on the ques
tion, two being in favor of Lippin
cott’s and three being in favor of
Appleton’s readers. It required four
votes to rescind the former action, and
hence Lippincott’s readers were retain
ed- We learn that in meeting the.
terms offered by Appleton, Lippincott
is now obligated to take up all other
readers in the county, of any kind, of
fered during this year, and to give the
same grade of readers in even exchange.
He is also to give three hundred of his
readers to the county for the use of
poor childen. Each teacher is to be
supplied with a full set of liis readers
free. This, in some degree, mitigates-

Rev. Thomas C. Carleton was ordain

yesterday. The same day he was call
ed to the pastorate of the Baptist
church in *Decatur. Mr. Carleton was
Judge of the County Court of Elbert
county from March 12th, 1885, until
December 5, 18S7, when he resigned
and removed to Newnan. Here he be
gan to prepare for the ministry. His
sixth and seventh sermons were preach
ed in Decatur, and those who heard
him were so pleased that they resolved
to select him for a pastor to reside in

to occupy a pulpit once filled by Rev.

The Result of Merit.
When anything stands a test of fifty
years among a discriminating people, it
is pretty good evidence that there is .
merit somewhere. Few, if any, medi
cines have met with such continued
success and popularity as has marked
the progress of Brandreth’s Pilis.
which, after a trial of over fifty years,
are conceded to be the safest and most
effectual blood purifier, tonic and alter
ative ever introduced to the public.
That this is the result of merit, and
that Brandreth’s Pills perform all
that is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the fact that those who re
gard them with the greatest favor are
those who have used them the longest.
Brandreth’s Pills are sold in every
drug and medicine store, either plain or
sugar-coated.
Comm an Seated.
Wants a Change.
I see through the columns of your
valuable paper that quite a number of
citizens want the City Court abolished.
1 sometimes come to the conclusion
that if we had no courts at all we
would get along better. Next, I am in
favor of consolidating the offices of Tax
Collector and Receiver, and by that
means save the county a little expense..
We could also do away with the office
of County Treasurer. The Agricultural
Bureau should be abolished by ail
means. Having tags attached to gu
ano does not enhance its value one
cent in my estimation. It is a great ex
pense to the farmers and does not ben
efit them one particle. We could easily
dispense with the County Commission
ers and let the Ordinary attend to that
business. The office of County Treas
urer could also be put into the hands
of the Ordinary.
Our next Legislature should pass- a
law allowing erne Representative to
every five counties, and not to hold
over thirty days.
1 am in favor abolishing the Free
School system. The country schools
have literally gone to nothing,. So
many officers have to be paid and then-
salaries are so enormous that the taxes-
