We are now prepared to do all kinds of Carriage,
Buggy and Wagon work, and in a style that cannot be
excelled' in the State, or anywhere else. Our work
men are skillful and efficient; our material the best

complete in every department. In fact, we have spar
ed neither pains nor expense in preparing for the bus

first-class in every respect.
We have on hand the finest lot of material ever put into buggy or carriage work in this

get our vehicles “knocked down,” from the North, as many other manufacturing firms do, bul
make them out and out. This is our strongest recommendation. We manufacture—

Mr. Editor:—It is with feelings of
sadness that we chronicle the death of
W. F. Sibley, which occurred last Fri
day. His symptoms had been more
favorable for some days, but on Thurs
day night a change came for the worse,
and he died Friday morning about 10
o’clock. The funeral sermon was
preached by Rev. Elim Culpepper,
and the * remains were buried in the
; cemetery here. As an evidence of the
high esteem in which he was held, his
funeral was attended by a large con
course of sympathizing relatives and
friends. He leaves a wife and three
little children, to whom and for whom
the sympathies of the entire community
are deeply enlisted.
The little son of Mr. and Mrs. Shields
is yet alive, but his recovery is almost
despaired of.
Our section was visited with a nice
shower last Thursday night. Hope it
will be followed by others soon.
We made a short visit to Griflin Tues
day. While there we had the pleasure
of meeting with our old friend, Hon.
Mark Xewman, of Sandersville, Ordi
nary of Washington county—an honor
which the citizens of his county delight
to confer upon him. We have known
him for over forty years, and iVe have
yet t© hear aught against him. No
more useful citizen graces Washington
county.
While on the train we had the pleas
ure of meeting Rev. Wm. Park, editor
of the Sandersville Herald. Rev. Mr,
Park is well and favorably known
throughout this section and Meriweth
er county, as a minister and educator
of long years ago. His is visiting rela
tives and friends in the section named,
and will extend his visit to Alabama.
We also had the pleasure of meeting
Rev. Robt. Stapleton, of Preston,
Webster county, Ga. Bob and I went
to the same cross-eyed school teacher
when in our small urchin state.
We saw quite a large delegation on
their way to the State Agricultural
Convention to convene in Newnan, and
we here take occasion to say that, if
these are fair samples of the various
sections represented, the contrast be
tween them and Pharaoh’s lean kine is
very marked. They did not make a
hard time impression upon us. In ad
dition wo saw and made a brief inspee
tion of the Agricultural and Immigra
tion Car, built by the Central railroad
and placed under the control of Col.
Glessner, of Americus, Ga. The car is
a fine specimen of mechanical art in
all its appointments, and we trust that
Col. Glessner may succeed in accom
plishing the objects for which it is de
signed.
We here beg permission of entering
protest, in our humble way, against
the publication in the Macon Telegraph
of August 14th, about the drunkenness
of the son of Dr. Talmage at Salt
Springs last Saturday night. We con
sider it a reproach to Georgia journal
ism to give publicity to such produc
tions, even if true. The article itself
proves that that young man was lied
to, deceived, and traduced by other de
signing young men. The name of this
young man, with all the possible dis
grace that could attach to it, is pub
lished to the world, while the names of
his villainous betrayers are withheld
As is known, Dr. Talmage has a na
tional reputation, and he stands in the
foremost rank of prohibition; and now
this anti-prohibition paper resorts to
this method of bringing reproach and
shame upon the good name of this
minister.of Christ, and that of his fam
ily. What must be the impression
made upon the mind of the reading
i public in resard to the social and mor-
j al status of Georgia in general, and At
lanta in particular ? It is a duty that
the people of Georgia owe to them
selves to say that this vile blot and
stain upon their good character should j
be wiped out by the most effective j
means within the reach of her violated
laws.
Mr. W. P. Town* and Mr. T. A.
Barnes, of Jacksonville, Fla., are vis
iting relatives and friends here. Also,
Col. Dorkins and family, of Jackson
ville, are visiting the former’s nephew,
Mr. R. C. Iverson.
Mrs. Sutton and family, of Birming
ham. Ala., are visiting her parents, Mr.
and Mr. T. X. Yining.
Mrs. J.* S. Ingraham, of Atlanta,
ville, visited Miss Emmie Hindsman
this week.
Dr. L. B. Webb and Mr. Jos. Jackson,
from Corinth, attended quarterly meet
ing here.
Quarterly meeting was very largely
attended, all the churches in the cir
cuit being well represented. Dr. T. F.
Pierce delivered an able sermon at 11
o’clock, which, if we would be governed
by, would carry us through life and pre
pare us for the better one. Dr. Pierce is
still with us, and his sermons are great
ly enjoyed by those who attend.
Messrs. J. R. McCollum, Robert
Young, A. M. Norris, Glenn Burpee
and Robert Moore, all of Newnan, were
shaking hands with friends here on
Sunday.
Mr. Henry A. Martin, one of our
cleverest citizens, invited the members
of the Alliance here to his pretty home
on Sunday eve to eat watermelons.
There were fifteen who accepted the
invitation and more melons, nor better
ones, were never put before a crowd to
devour.
Mr. Philip Smith and daughter, from
Sunny Side, are visiting the family ’of
Mr. F. S. Cureton.
Miss Ophelia Dominick visited Mrs.
Lizzie Dodds recently.
Mr. J. R. Cotton and family, from
Grantville, visited relatives here and
attended the meeting this week.
Miss Willie Reynolds, (a sweet young
lady from Esom Hill,) who has been
visiting her sister, Mrs. Mary Brannon,
has returned to her home. Mrs. Mary
Couch and little Gordon Brannon ac-
V companied her.

ville had engagements with some lady

Mr. Joseph Carmical has gone on a
visit to relatives in Alabama.
Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt from Turin is
assisting in the meeting here. Only
two accessions to the church as yet,
but great interest seems to be taken in
the meetings. Large congregations at
tend every service.
Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Bingham have
returned from their trip out West;
they report a pleasant time.

Turin.
Mr. Editor:—On Friday evening last
Col. Asa Johnson was stricken with
paralysis, fromwhich he died on Satur
day evening following. Deceased was
m old man, possessing but little of the
goods of this world, yet maintaining an
integrity worth by far more than riches
or the lit fill honors of life. After a fun
eral sermon by Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt,
the remains were interred at Orange
ville.
Both the churches at this place held
regular services last Sabbath.-
Dr. Stacy announced that on the sec
ond Sunday in next month Dr. Dubose
would preach tin; dedication sermon
of the Presbyterian church at this
place. Dr. Dubose is an able speaker
and will doubtless preach an enter
taining sermon.
Rev. Mr. Sanders has closed an in
teresting meeting at. Standing Rock,
with satisfactory results.
Dr. Mallory closed on Thursday last
a fine meeting at White Oak Grove
church.
Pastor Rhodes at this writing is con
ducting an interesting revival meeting
at Ebenezer church.
At Glen Grove church on Sabbath
^! morning next a number of candidates
will be baptized by the pastor of the
church.
The ginning company of Turin will
cover their building at once with iron
roofing, and are now ready to resume
ginning at very moderate fates. They
are also well prepared for grinding and
crushing grain.
Many of the farms in this section
have been without rain for five weeks,
and crops will be greatly cut off in con
sequence. Rain is needed that turnips
may be sown. The roads cannot be
worked until it rains.
I agree with your correspondent from
Senoia with regard to the cheek of a
candidate in asking a voter to support
him. I will go further and say that I
never w^llvote for a man who employs
-figuofTcHrectiy or indirectly, to ;>ro< ure
Voles.
Mr. Blake Shell and some of his
neighbors united a few days ago and
served up a splendid barbecue, which
parties from the Gate City, LaGrange,
, i v._ lo£ ^ Newnan, Senoia, and elsewhere, pro-
made a short visit to mends here last .. . , ,
, nounced very fine, indeed.
Passing through the thrifty town of
Temple, on the Georgia Pacific Rail
road, we reached Buchanan safely and
spent a pleasant night with Air. John
Dennis, formerly of this county. Mr.
Dennis has a nice home of one hun
dred acres in the suburbs of Buchanan,
has a fine crop and is doing well.
Buchanan is a beautiful town and is*
destined to be a city of no small pro
portions. The Chattanooga, Rome and
Carrollton railroad passes through the
heart of the town. Then the county
of Haralson is one of the best farming
counties in the State. The farmer-
raise their own supplies. I saw cribs
of old corn wherever I went, and lots
of hogs and stock of all kinds. 1 ex
pected to find the land very uneveu.
rocky and rolling, but was happily dis
appointed. The people are intelligent,
but there is less dress and fool fashions
than in this section. The people don’t
go at breakneck rates; the young men
don’t part their hair in the middle, but
dress genteelly; the young ladies go in
style, but don’t walk in Grecian bend
fashion; the old people are sober-head
ed, orderly in walk and plain in dress.
Esq. Austin Ayers, with whom I spent
one night, 1ms one hundred acres on
big Tallapoosa in corn. It is a grand
sight to see such a body of corn. Crops
all along the road through Carroll
county are very fine. To view the crop*
n their present condition, it looks as if
he “year of jubilee had come.” I at-
ended the Tallapoosa Musical Conven-
ion eight miles north of Buchanan, a;
ethlehem church, where I met many
Id friends and made many new ones,
^hey brought me under many obliga
tions to teach a couple of classes in
December.
I now come to the very painful duty
of recording the death of Moses Kelly,
a youth of twelve years, which took
place at Mr. E. C. Palmer’s, of Cedar
Creek district, on Saturday morning.
11th inst., from typhoid fever, contract
ed in Atlanta. He came down to at
tend the funeral of his brother Joseph
—who died in Atlanta about the 2d
of August—and was never able to re
turn. They were both sons of Hon.
W. II. Kelly, deceased, of the Seventh
district, this county. I learn that their
brother Edgar, who is reading law un
der Judge Bigby, is quite low with
fever.
Mr. Joe Elder, who moved from this
vicinity t o Atlanta last winter, is very
low with typhoid fever. He is nob ex
pected to live. People who come from
Atlanta say that there is a great deal
of fever in the city.
Mr. T. F. Jones lias a field of cotton
which is being ruined with red rusl.
Ue-wants to know how to save it.
