On Wednesday he read an essay on “Presbyterian Polity,” which is refer red to by the Constitution in the fol lowing complimentary terms: “Dr. Stacy’s address was exceedingly interesting, holding the exclusive at tention of the congregation for nearly an hour. In the treatment of this sub ject Dr. Stacy displayed much learn ing and theological lore. His style is 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 limit to this report, however, will not admit of this.” ports.

He was compelled to leave on the early train Sunday morning, much to the regret of his friends here, many of whom were thus debarred the pleas ure of meeting him. The first shovel of dirt was thrown on the road-bed of the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus road December 1st, 1887, the contractors being under heavy bond to complete the line by July 1st.

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- Uncle Jimmie Askew has so far re covered from his recent stroke of paral ysis as to be able to ride into town.

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 about the first object that attracted his tbe ob j ec t,ion that would otherwise be attention was the fastidious colored ^ ur g e( j as a result of changing the books, passenger, and his blood began to boil.; We j iear that the other books adopted In a few minutes he approached the j were Swinton’s geography, word negro and requested him to go forward j an q primer, and Webster’s dic- to the car set apart for colored pa&sen- j tionary and speller.

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- The schedule of the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad will be changed next Monday morn ing, so as to make connection here with the’northbound 6:15 a. m. train on the Atlanta and West Point Railroad. We acknowledge the recipt of an in vitation to attend the closing exercises of Etowah Institute, at Canton, this week. The school is in charge of Prof, vr Bates, one of the most successful Rev. Thomas C. Carleton was ordain ed as a Baptist preacher in Newnan 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 Decatur. It is considered a high honor to occupy a pulpit once filled by Rev. H. H. Tucker, D. D., Rev. D. Shaver, Rev. F. M. Daniel and Rev. W. H. Strickland.—Atlanta Journal. We are satisfied that the educational interests of the county will be well looked after. Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt, the President of the Board, is an old ed ucator, and he and the other gentlemen of the Board, as well as the School sion to ride on the road he would bring Commissioner, are alive to their duty. his revolver and protect his rights vi et armis. Should he conclude to put this threat into execution we advise him to take the other end of the road. If he comes this way he will probably fare worse next time. Below’ will be found a tabulated statement showing the school census of the county by districts, for which we are indebted to School Commissioner Walker: tees.

Any candidate who is dissatisfied with the result of said election, shall, if he desire to contest the same, file in writing with the chairman a notice of contest, in which shall be specified the grounds thereof, within five days after the result is declared, and not after; and also at the same time serve a like notice on the successful candidates. In which event, it shall be the duty ox tiie said chairman, within ten days after said filing, call the committee together and hear such contest, and their decis ion shall be final. 3. That at the time of such primary election each district shall select one delegate, making thirteen in all, with power to select, their own alternates, to represent this county, and to cast the vote of this county, in the Guber natorial Convention to assemble in At lanta on the 8th day of August next. 4. That the question of repealing the act creating the City Court of Newnan being purely a local one, in order to ascertain Hie will of the people as to the abolition of said Court, or of amending the act creating it, it is re commended that each voter indorse on his ballot, “For Amending the City Court” or “For Abolishing the City Court,” the vote on said question to be. returned and consolidated as the vote for the candidates for Representative, and the candidates nominated will be declared instructed in accordance therewith. 5.

Harrison J. Sargent. June 13tli, 1S88. 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- collected for school purposes don’t do the poor any good at all. Now, Mr. Editor, find the man who will run upon this platform, and hs will certainly go to the Legislature. 1 will not sign my name, for fear of having to go myself, but remain, Yours Respectfully.
