FARMER. Newnan, Ga. Senoia. Mr. Editor:—Our friend, Mr. A. G. Couth, will establish a school of teleg raphy here, September 1st. Mr. Couch lia> attended the best electrical schools in the United States, and has spared neither time nor money in preparing himself for this business, and we are confident he will attain great success. A better teacher of telegraphy cannot be found in the State. Messrs. Hutcheson A Roberts have let the contract for building a large brick store on Main street. The build ing will be 100x20 feet and will be well furnished. When completed it will add greatly to the appearance of Mam street. The contract was awarded to Mr. G. R. Kooks and will be completed by October 1st, next. A party composed* of Messrs. John H. Jones, Geo. D. Pollock, Will Glass, Harmon Smith, Misses Belle Branlly, Lula Belle Towns, Pearl Couch, Min nie and Nettie Methvin, with Mr. and Mrs. S. O. Smith as chaperones, went doiVn to Sullivan’s Mill last Tuesday on a picnicking expedition. Prof. P. D. Pollock left last Thursday for a visit to his parents, near Rome, Ga. He will visit the Piedmont Chau tauqua during his vacation. He was accompanied by three of the sweetest little girls in Senoia, Misses Mary Towns, Eva Jones and Annie Carlton, and his friend, Mr. Otis Jones. Dr. A. Q. Young will leave in a few da vs to take charge of his father’s drug business at Puckett’s. Dr. *Toung has been with us but a short time, but dur ing that time he has made many friends who are loth to give him up. Mrs. J. O. Towns was summoned to the bedside of a very sick son, in Jack sonville, Fla., last Monday. She left for that city on the 7 o’clock A. M. train.

Mr. Phil Briscoe, of Knoxville, Team, visited bis uncle, Mr. John M. Briscoe, at this place, last week. A. June 27th. Mr. Editor:—Rains have been fre quent and apparently general for the past two or three weeks. (Tops that have been kept clean are doing lineiy. We hear of some farms whose crops are in a few* -'•■onoitioD, and such crops -_viVi snstavii more injury. It is, in our opinion, a serious flusifiKc ^ many farmers fall into in planting all that they can cultivate under the m >st favorable conditions, and when exces sive rains fall or sickness or other un avoidable circumstances intervene, tney are placed at a disadvantage which thev are unable to overcome the balance of the year. Our judgment is, the greater profit lies in the smaller crop " We regret to learn that Mr. Robert Iverson is quite sick. Hope for im provement soon. Mrs. J. O. Towns received a telegram Monday morning, announcing Hie ill ness of her oldest son, C. Barnes Towns, at Jacksonville, Fla. She left on the train Monday morning. Dr. F. M. Brandy went to Atlanta Tuesday. . Miss Carrie Ballard is visiting friends at Franklin this week. Several of our citizens, mostly young ladies and gentlemen, went to a picnic at Sullivan’s mills on Tuesday. Mrs. E. R. Griggs, of Dawson, (la., is visiting her sister, Mrs. L. P. Barnes. Prof. P. D. Pollock left last Thurs day to visit his parents, near Rome, Ga. He was accompanied by the little Misses Annie Carleton, May Towns and Eva Jones, who will spend some day’s in the country around the Hill City. Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Goodman are vis iting relatives and friends ut Fairburn this week. Mr. Will Kerlin is now in the drug store of J. M. Couch & Co. Messrs. Hutcheson & Roberts are go ing to have a brick store-room, 26x100 feet, erected at the corner formerly oc cupied bv R. R. Methvin. Mr. G. B. Kooks has the contract, and will com mence the manufacture of brick for that purpose at au early day. A rather serious accident occurred near the outskirts of our town last Sun day evening. A Mr. Thompson and Miss Nolan were buggy riding, when the animal took fright at a dog, ran away, broke the buggy, and threw out the young lady, who was painfully, though we hope not seriously, injured. Much to our regret, we feei it a duty we owe to ourselt to notice, briefly as possible, some strictures of “Veritas” in his rejoinder of June 2d. He says: “I have seen no unusual excitement except that produced by “Vincent” and Mr. Smith, and the general opinion seems to be that but for them there would have been no bitter words, no fracas.” The cause of the trouble here tofore mentioned by us is, by implica tion at least, laid at our own door. We here take occasion to say we have no partnership with Mr. Smith in this matter, nor with any one else. We are running our own schedule. In noticing other points in his rejoinder, we sav our informants were not inattentive hearers, nor were we misinformed. We stated facts; and how one professing to obey the Scriptural injuction, “take heed how ye hear,” utterly ignores its claims when applied to speech, is a mystery to us. We have been a citizen of this town over seventeen years, and our life has been an open book, and this is the first time that we have been stigmatized as a disorderly person, or inciting riotous conduct in others. But, as “Veritas” has only been here about seventeen months, he may claim privileges which we dare not take. Again, we have not deemed it necessary to poll the ayes and nays of the town on this question; the verdict is with the people. It is almost painfully evident that “Veritas” will receive none of our evidence. He will not believe, though we could call up one from the dead. That being im possible, we will do tlie next thing to it—we wili call up “Veritas”; will put him upon the stand, and, with all his artful dodging, surely he will not refuse to paternize his own offspring. In 1 he Herald and Advertiser of May IStb, he says: “Mr. Stipe preached strongly against modern dancing on account of its cor rupt tendencies, but took particular pains to state that there were chaste people that danced. In reply to the argument that dancing was 'in itself’ harmless, he said that such dancing would not last long.” Now. what is the legitimate inference from the two sentences quoted above? There can be but one conclusion: A chaste lady may dance, but if she per sists in it, she cannot be chaste long; a virtuous lady may dance, but when she does so she is compromising that jewel which is above all price, and just so long as she practices it she is the abet tor of prostitution. Our mind runs back into the long ago, and we remem ber the little girls that danced; we have known them since they were married and became mothers, and we have known them to dance; we know them as grandmothers; and yet, ac cording to this unchristian assault, they have long since become, as the infamous Beast Butler said of the ladies of New Orleans, the “common women of the town.” We cannot help but feel a sort of pity for a good man who will use his pen in defense of a position of very questionable propriety, and lay himself liable to the charge of trying to discount the virtue and chastity ot the motherhood of this country. •Tune 27th. Vincent. Sharpsburg-. Mr. Editor:—W\u\e our people are content to go on unapplauded in their progress and prosperity’, still we will not object if you say to our sister towns and villages that we are indust rious and prosperous and are striving to augment our present prosperity, and that while thus striving we are very happy. We already see some of the pleasing and cheerful results of the renewed energy which seemed to inspire our people at rhe beginning of the year. Our people are employing wonderful efforts to make and save. They seem to have re alized the fact that there is a wide dif ference between their real and ima ary wants, and are only supplying them selves with the former; so, the proba ble result is smaller notes and bills and accounts with the merchant, and a bet- ler and happier people. We think ii can be truthfully asserted that our (immunity is the most moral in the county. Rev. V. A. Ham and wife spent a few days in Newnan last week attending commencement.

Mr. Editor:—'The remains of Mr. Stephen Martin were brought to this ? lace, (his home,) on Monday morning. lie circumstances of his tragic death are as follows: He had gone over to Carroll, and was engaged in cleaning out a w’ell which contained gas; finding that he was about to be overcome, he ordered the rope lowered, which he seized and was drawn near the top, when he gave way and fell a distance of fortv feet, striking on his head. The bones of his head and shoulders were crushed and he was otherwise mangled. Although no time was lost in raising him, he only brought a few respirations, which proved to be his last. Deceased leaves a widow to mourn his sad mis fortune. Kind neighbors took the re mains from the train and buried them in the cemetery. Thus ends the life of a faithful and honest well-digger. Con dolence to the widow. Your reporter mingled with the good people of Puckett’s on Saturday and Sabbath last. The people are both good and clever, and know full well how to make a visitor feel that he is welcome to their midst. Kind enter tainment was accepted and highly ap preciated with the following tamilies: A pleasant night with the family of Dr. L. loung, a night with Mr. John Cot ton and family, also a night spent with Mr. Walker Camp and family, and din ings with the families of Dr. Couch and Maj. Bingham. Drs. Young and Couch stand high in their profession and are kept active day and night. From the number of vineyards in and around the town, theirs will soon be the land for the faint and weary. Fruit culture has been undertaken in earnest and under large investments. With a cannery at this place there is no reason why fruit raising might not be quite remunera tive to those engaging in the business. Messrs. Camp & Cureton are engaged in manufacturing fruit baskets and other vessels for shipping purposes, amounting to several hundred per day. The amount of business and extent of shipping at this point requires a depot. Why the railroad authorities do nol give" them a depot is something rather strange. If railroads wish to build up manufacturing and shipping along their lines, it would be wise to give encour agement in that direction by furnishing such conveniences as the people really need and the times demand. The patrons of Prof. Featherston’s school speak in high terms of his meth ods of teaching. Last Sabbath was a lucky day foi marriage. Mr. Glenn Arnall and Miss Emma Summers were married; also Mr. Starr, of Griffin, and Miss Emma Edmunson, of Starr’s mills. May pros perity attend the happy couples. Our section is having too much rain for crops. Mr. L. L. Rees is taking care of a case of the mumps this week. Candidates are waxing warm for themselves, but the people keep eooi all the same. R- A. T. June 27th. Powelville. Mr. Editor:—Crops are looking very fine. The good people of this district en joyed an interesting singing at Wise’s Academy last Sunday evening. Miss Ida Moore and Mr. S. A. Moore were the guests of Mr. J. II. Wise a few davs since. Mr. G. Cranford was with his old friends at the singing last Sunday. Miss Minnie Wilson, who has been ttending school at Carrollton, is al home again. We are very sorry to hear of Miss Etta James’ illness, in the Fifth dis trict. J- June 26th. Fourth District. Mr. Editor:—It has been a good while since you heard from this part m the moral vineyard. The late rains have enlivened droop ing vegetation, and the farmers will lie busy now. Grass, weeds and bushes will grow as well as corn and cotton. Wheat and oats were almost a failure in this section. Watermelon patches, more particu larly the vines, are looking exceedingly well. No sickness, no marriages to report. Miss Leila Pullen, a charming young lady of Bartlett, Ala., who lias been visiting relatives in Coweta, left for home Monday. Miss Leila spent some lime with her cousins, Misses Ida and Jennie Bevis, in this vicinity, and by ner amiable disposition, gentle, win ning manners, won many friends. \V. L.

Tribute of Respect. Whereas, it has pleased our Heaven ly Father to remove from our midst b\ death our brother John A. Beavers, vice-president of Handy Alliance, win- died May 30, 1888, aged 57 years; there fore, be it resolved— 1.

Y., Senate Chamber, ) Albany, March 11, 1886. ) I have used Allcock’s Porous Pla ters in my family for the past five years, and can truthfully say they are a valuable remedy and effect great cures. I would not be without them. 3 have in several instances given some t» friends suffering with weak and lariu backs, and they have invariably afford ed certain and speedy relief. They cannot be too highly commended. Edmund L. Pitts.
