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. 1 N What two young men from Grant ville had engagements with some lady friends of our town and couldn’t till them V 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. Aug. 15th. Zrr.KTUs. COAL! I will sell several varieties of first-class COAL, as cheap as any dealer. Prices furnish ed on application. M. B. PINSON. Newnan, Ga., July 13. If you ou:e for this paper be enough to settle at your first opporWnity. The publishers need the money. 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. August 14th. Riffles. The Governor’s Horse. Guard Return Thanks. AVhkbeas, the citizens of Newnan and the Pearl Spring Park Association extended to tlie Governor’s Horn Guard a cordial invitation to makt their annual encampment in their city at Pearl Spring Park, and while they were in camp the people of Newnan and members of the Park Associatioi treated us very kindly and extended t< us the hospitality of their homes, and showed us in every way possible all th< hospitality and courtesy we could asl or wish; and that while there, the At lanta and West Point Railroad Com pany treated us with great kindnes? and extended to us a great many fa vors. Therefore, be it resolved— 1. That the Governor’s Horse Guar< tender the citizens of Newnan ou; heartfelt thanks for their kindness an* hospitality to us while in camp in theb city. 1.

Brown, from Newnan, were the guests of Mis. Mattie Camp on Monday. Miss Jennie Burpee, an accomplished and attractive young lady from New nan, visited Miss Lou Camp recently. Miss Addie Wideman, from Hogans- Panther Creek.
