A regular schedule will probably be put on next Sunday. After a delightful visit to friends and relatives in North Georgia and South Carolina, Mrs. H. II.

Referring to the approaching reun ion of the 1st and 7th Georgia Regi ments and 12tli Georgia Battalion, the Griffin Sun says: “A number of old veterans from here who ‘lit, bled and died’ in these regiments will meet there and shed tears of joy at their reunion.” We acknowledge our obligations to Judge Ben Leigh for the first mess of roasting-ears that we have enjoyed this season. The Judge claims numer ous points of superiority for this corn, (which he takes pride in calling the samjrandall variety,) not the least among which is its abnormal previous ness. The ears are small, and the grains stand aloof from each other in rather an independent way, but upon the whole we are obliged to admit that it is a pretty fair article of corn. Thanks. The Atlanta and West Point road will run the usual Fourth of July ex cursion to Atlanta on Wednesday next.

City School Notes. The A grade in the Public School, so far as practical results are concerned, is the banner class. Two members of that class, Messrs.

Miss Minnie Ellis, the accomplished principal of the music department, will spend the vacation in Greenville, (her home) and at Sulphur Springs.

That “Farewell” to the Seniors will linger long in the memory of the delighted audience. No occasion seems complete without the Mechanics’ Band, and our recent com mencement owes much of its success to their fine selections and exquisite per formances. * Miss Annie Anderson will make a brief sojourn at Monteagle, Tenn., during the Chautauquan session.

Will you please allow me space in your valuable paner to say a few words in regard to the Baptist church at Hol ly Springs. I give below a brief sketch of the rulings of the Conference. Some time ago the question arose, as it had several times before, as to wheth er we would move the elnm-h to Puck ett Station. There was a motion made and seconded to take a vote on the final settlement of the question. The majority voted to keep the church where it was. Hence, the minority jogged along until this year, and, as I am informed (by good authority) one of the brothers went around and got all the members that wanted it moved to come to the church on the 12th of May last (our regular meeting day) and there, after saying that he would never bring up the subject again, and regard less of the decision finally settling-the matter, prevailed upon another brother to put the subject before the church and a majority voted to move it to Puckett Station. Now, before I go any. further, I will say that I do not wish to intrude upon uY ^ flrwl’ii ncrnnlp orwl wbflt. Dry Goods and Notions. Samples will be sent, and all orders amounting to $10 and upwards Express charges will be prepaid—provided this advertisement is cut out and sent with order. the feelings of God’s people, and what ever I say I shall endeavor to say in honor to God and good will to all. But the cap evidently fits the brother and he must assuredly be obliged to wear it. There being some sick members who were not able to attend the June meeting, 23d inst., we sent up a peti tion begging the church to grant a re consideration of the matter. There was a motion made and seconded that the petition be read, but regardless of this a motion to lay the petition on the table prevailed. There are sev eral who have joined by letter since the church moved to Puckett’s, yet the motion to table was carried by a major ity of only four votes. What I have stated are solid facts, and can be proven. Now, brethren, if there is any justice in that way of doing I don’t need any of it in mv business. Respectfully, H. T. Alman.

It is scarcely necessa ry to remark that he is as fat and sassy as ever. Next Monday will be a busy day in the Ordinary’s Court. On that day administrators, executors and guar dians are required by law to make their annual returns. Mrs. Ellen Wheeler solicits plain sewing, male or female apparel, and Mr. W. S. Copeland has been ap pointed District Organizer for the Far mers’s Alliance, and will leave in a few days for Greene, Wilkes and Oglethorpe counties in the interest of the work. He will first visit Greensboro, where has already made an appointment for the 9th of July. Everybody in Georgia that sells to bacco and cigars knows John O. Davies. He is one of the most trustwothy trav eling salesmen that goes out of Atlanta. He is well and favorably known on all the roads and sells lots of goods. For seven years he traveled with Mr. A. G. Howard & Co. Since Mr. Howard has gone into business with Haralson Bros. & Co., Mr. Davies has been with the new firm, and is pushing right along. It is a question if there is another salesman in the South that sells as many goods as Air. Davies. lie is a young man and has a bright future fore him .—Atlanta Constitution. be- T. E. Fell & Co. have bought the right to manufacture and sell the “Stagg’s Patent Coffee Pot.” They have orders already for nearly 300.

The reunion at Gettysburg will be re membered in the July Century by the publication of a short article descrip tive of the reunions of the Blue and the Gray which have taken place within the last few years.

Sear cy and others, representing the minor ity stockholders of the Savannah, Grif fin and North Alabama Railroad, came up for a hearing before Judge Marshal J. Clarke in Atlanta on the 15tli inst., but at the request of complainants the hearing was postponed until October 20. The object of the bill, it will be remembered, is to enjoin the Central road from foreclosing its mortgage on the property of the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama road, and also to place the property of the road in the hands of a receiver. guarantees satisfaction.

For J'will spend his vacation in Tennessee, visiting his fath- family, who reside Jn that State. 10 The fail J session of the city schools will open early in September, The Newnan Carriage and Buggy Works sold a buggy last week to a gen tleman residing within four miles of LaGrange. Several orders for vehicles have been received recently from Car- roll and Troup counties, and the com pany has found it necessary to make still further additions to the working force in the various departments. Capt. II. C. Fisher has tendered his resignation as secretary and treasurer of the Pearl Spring Park Association, to take effect at once. No officer of the Association has done more towards carrying out and perfecting the plans which have made the Park so attrac tive and popular as a public resort, and his action in resigning is to be regretted. Miss Ophelia Dominick, who has been attending school in Atlanta for two or three years past, is at home again and is receiving the congratula tions of her friends upon her brilliant and successful graduation. We find the following pleasant mention in the Atlanta Constitution of the 26th inst.: “Among the graduates to-morrow night at the Academy of the Sisters of Mercy will be Miss Ophelia Dominick, of N ewnan. Miss Dominick is declared by competent critics to be one of the best pianists who ever went out of an Atlanta school. Her execution is al most faultless. Miss Dominick propo ses to devote herself to music.” Miss Jimmie Harris, of Turin, who has been engaged in teaching at Mon terey, Miss., for several months past, is at home for her summer vacation. Miss Harris is one of our most cultured and accomplished young ladies, and is so highly esteemed by her late patrons that they have prevailed on her to re turn in September and resume her The early morning passenger on the Atlanta and West Point road, going north, arrives here now at 5:40, about 30 minutes earlier than the late sched ule, which was in operation one week. The A. & W. P. seems to be doing its best to avoid connection with the Sa vannah, Griffin and North Alabama road, and is succeeding admirably. Len der the present schedule passengers from CaiTollton and intermediate points en route to Atlanta are compell ed to stop over in Newnan six hours. This would be agreeable enough to our Carrollton and Whitesburg friends, no doubt, but to force them to spend a night in Atlanta, also, is a positive hardship. It Was a Nice Affair. One of the most delightful social af fairs that our young people have en joyed during the summer holidays oc curred on Tuesday evening last, at the hospitable home of Judge and Mrs. Bigby. The entertainment was com plimentary to Misses Julia Ridley, Louise Herring and Minnie Wilkinson of LaGrange, and Miss Lallie Wither spoon of Birmingham, Alft., who have been visiting Miss Susie Bigby the past week, and we feel sure they will carry with them pleasant impressions of Newnan gallantry and hospitality. The company seemed in excellent mood, and found no lack of enjoyment, or opportunity therefor. What with the music, the merriment, the conver sational by-play which buzzed and sparkled on every hand, each guest found ample and agreeable enter tainment. Their spirits were in thorough harmony with the occasion, and the occasion was all that could be desired. Supper was an nounced about 11 o’clock, and the com- pany fell to with an energy that evi denced their thorough appreciation of this, the culminating feature of the en- tainment. It was an elegant spread, and served in a style befitting the occa sion. Indeed, the entire affair was all that social ingenuity could devise, and the charming young hostess looked af ter the pleasure of her guests with a cleverness and solicitude that would have done credit to a veteran enter tainer. Those present were Miss Lal lie Witherspoon of Birmingham, Ala., Misses Julia Ridley, Louise Herring and Minnie Wilkinson of LaGrange, Ga., Miss Nell Bush of Franklin, Ky., Misses Fannie Divioe, Margaret Her ring, Olive Berry, Beulah Arnold, Jen nie Burpee, Anabel Clarke, Lizzie Dent, Laura Daniel, Minnie Peddy, Mary Andrews, Kate Andrews, and Messrs.
