The Governor’s Horse Guard.
About three weeks ago a committee
came down from Atlanta in quest of a
suitable rendezvous for the annual en
campment of the Governor’s Horse
Guard. An invitation was extended by
the Pearl Spring Park Association to
make use of their grounds, and the gen
tlemen composing the committee were
so favorably impressed with the advan
tages of the location that they recom
mended the acceptance of the invita
tion. A few days since, Col. P. H.
Brewste/, president of the Association,
received formal notice of the company’s
acceptance of the invitation, and con

would arrive in Newnan on Friday-

By invitation of Rev. Mr. England,
Rev. Elim Culpepper preached at the
Methodist church Sunday night, and
the Baptist congregation also attended
church there. Mr Culpepper’s sermon

The Hutcheson Manufacturing Com
pany received a telegram from Cleve
land Springs, N. C., last Tuesday an
nouncing the sudden death of Tfios.
M. Bramlet, which occurred at that
place on Monday. Deceased was for
several years general manager of the

Through the courtesy of Mr. J. T.
Bradley, we have examined the plans
of the elegant brick block now being
constructed by Messrs. Askew & Brad
ley at Carrollton, and were agreeably
surprised at its elegance and substan
tial character. This firm is keeping
pace with Carrollton’s progress,
and are demonstrating their faith iu
the city’s future by building a block
that would ornament a town of much
greater pretensions.
Prof. J. Cuthbert Shecut, of Augusta,
who applied for and secured the posi
tion of superintendent of the Newnan
public schools in December last, and
subsequently- resigned without cause,
has come to grief at last. After a serv
ice of twenty years as principal of the
boys’ grammar school in the aforemen
tioned city, he has, by a decisive vote
of the school board, been retired. We
are not surprised; in fact, we rather ex
pected to hear something of the sort,
sooner or later.
Prof. E. T. Whatley, the young pres
ident of Hearn Institute,passed through
ry” very ungallantly came in ahead-
time, 3 minutes.
Then followed the bicycle races. The
first was between Masters Cliff Cole
and Preston Hill. Cole had the largest
wheel, and gave his opponent 50 feet
start. The race started off beautifully,
but the grade was too heavy and the
distance too great for Preston, who
was much the smaller of the wheel
men. He succumbed midway of the
last quarter and Cliff won easily 7 .
The next race was between E. J.
Floyd and Will Perry. Floyd had a
slight advantage at the start, but this
was regained by Perry in the first
quarter, who then took the lead and
held it to the end, finishing up in 2:15.
Owing to the sweltering weather, no
one seemed willing to enter the foot
race for the purse offered, and the af
ternoon’s entertainment closed.
The affair was admirably 7 managed
from first to last, and the officers and
members of the Newnan Driving Asso
ciation have every reason to be grati-
i tied at the success of their first regular
meeting. The gate receipts amounted
to $75.

The Fifth district, through one of its
committeemen, reported as follows:
Money, $310: carcasses, 41.
Neither the Third, Haralson, nor
First districts were represented.
THE RACES.
Some Good Stock, Fair Weather and
a Splendid Track.
The races announced by 7 the Newnan
Driving Association came off Wednes
day afternoon and were much enjoyed
by the large crowd in attendance, in
cluding quite a number of ladies. The
utmost good order prevailed, and a grat
ifying absence of the boisterous con
duct so common on such occasions was
so noticeable as to excite remark.
Owing to indisposition on the part of
several of the horses, the programme
advertised was not given; but one
equally interesting was improvised by-
Mr. J. J. Keith, who had the manage
ment of the track in charge. This, of
course, occasioned some delay and it
was fully 3 o’clock before the judges—
Dr. G. W. Peddy, Mr. John Dunbar
and Maj. N. B. Glover—were conduct
ed to the stand and formally opened
the exercises.
The first race was by 3-year-olds, and
“Tuscawilla,” “Jingle” and “George
Pilot,” owned respectively by Messrs.
Hackney, Dent and Dial, were intro
duced. The track was in fair order, and
a good start was had, with “Tuscawil
la” a trifle in the lead. She was close
ly pressed by “George Pilot,” but
maintained her lead, winning the first
heat by about 30 feet—time 3:44. Dur
ing the second heat “Jingle” made a
bad break, a short distance from the
starting point,land was withdrawn from
the track. Every inch was strongly-
contested by the remaining horses,
first one and then the other being in
the lead. “Pilot” was ahead as he
rounded the curve on the home stretch,
but made a break at this point, which
“Tuscawilla” quickly took advantage
of and was declared winner, gaining
just one second on the time of her first
heat.
The next race—mile heats, best two
out of three—was. contested by “Red
Cloud,” owned by T. G. Burpee, and
“Maggie Argyle,” owned by J. S. Win
ters—4-year-olds. The first heat was
a most exciting one. Through the en
tire course a space of ten feet was not
perceptible between the racers. “Red
Cloud” seemed to have the greatest
number of admirers and was cheered
lustily. “Maggie” got a slight advan
tage in starting and won the first heat
by scarcely- two feet—time 3:25. The
next heat was also won by “Maggie,”
she lowering her former time to 3:16.
A scrub race was now announced be
tween the horses of Andrew Bailey and
Mr. Dick Sewell. Mr. Sewell’s steed
did not seem to take in the situation,
and was evidently disinclined to show
his paces. Bailey’s, however, proved
herself anything but a scrub, making
her mile in 3:32 and lowering “Tusca-
willa’s” record 11 seconds.
Then came a trial of speed between
“Clyde Lyndon,” “Wm. H.” and
“Flora”—owned by Messrs. E. M. Cole,
W. T. Huguley and W.H. Parks, respec
tively. This race, of half-mile heats,
was perhaps the most interesting of
the series. The first heat was won by
“Flora,” with “Clyde Lyndon” close
at her heels—time 1:39. The next two
heats were won by “Clyde Lyndon”—
times 1:34 and 1:36. i “Flora” did
some fine trotting and carried herself
gracefully. She was driven by her
owner, President Dent driving “Clyde
Lyndon.” “Wm. H.” was not in trim,
and was withdrawn after the first heat.
“Clyde Lyndon” was declared victor.
“Henry Grady,” entered by Messrs.
Draweth on Apace, and Preparations
for the Soldiers’ Reunion Going
Rapidly Forward.
The Coweta County Confederate
Veterans’ Association met at the Court
house in Newnan on Tuesday, July 3d,

brass bands in the county to be pres
ent on the 21st inst. and assist in fur

Dr. A. C. North, chairman of the

following distinguished ex-Confede-

B. Gordon, Gen. James Longstreet,
Gen. G. “Tige” Anderson, Gen. G. J.

Gen. C. A. Evans, and Gen. R. J. Hen
derson. Other well-known and popu
lar ex-Confederate generals are expect
ed, but no definite assurances have yet
been received that they can come.
At least $500 in cash and one hun
dred carcasses must be secured before
next Friday to complete the subscrip
tions that will he needed. It is urged,
therefore, that the various district com
mittees set to work immediately and
report by Friday next the result of
their efforts. Fully $1,000 in money and
two hundred and fifty carcasses will be
required to furnish entertainment for
the crowd on the 21st, besides the bas
kets. The importance of immediate
action will be seen and appreciated
when we state that ten or twelve thou
sand people will be on the grounds, a
majority of whom will come from a dis
tance, and will have no other expecta
tion than that they will be properly
cared for by our people. Let the com
mittees go to work at once and make
full reports next Friday.
The meeting adjourned until Friday
next.

gathering ever seen in Coweta county.
There will be enough bread and barbe
cued meats to satisfy the entire multi
tudes, with enough left over to fatten
the fifty thousand fish in the lake.

The first was won by “Sleepy Susan”

disconcerted “Susan,” for she allowed
“Henry” to get the bulge on her. She
put forth all her energies, however—
some of which had .been held in reserve
