Dent last Tuesday evening, complimentary to Misses Ella Alexander and Battie Oliver, of At lanta. The foundation work on the new public school building has been com menced, and soon its substantial walls will become a conspicuous object in that vicinity. The refreshing showers of last AYed- nesday came very opportunely for cooling off the abnormal heat into which the Agricultural Convention had agitated itself. Messrs. Pierce Tomlin and J. M. Jackson have returned from their Western trip, delighted with the sections visited. They report a most enjoyable time. Mr. Wm. Amis, father of Mrs. J. S. Miller, is dangerously ill at his home in Carroll county, near Banning. He is very highly esteemed by all who know him and the desire for his recov ery is universal. Mrs. E. E. Wilson offers tQ the pupil in her music class making the greatest improvement in music from Septem ber 1st to June 1st a handsome gold medal. Her terms for music per month only $2.50. to a The indications are favorable largely increased attendance in out public schools this fall. A number of new citizens are expected to locate here in order to enjoy the important advan tages of these schools. Loan and Building Association A should be organized in our city at once. Nothing would do more towards build ing up Newnan, in proportion to the capital required. AVill not some one take hold of this matter? The R. D. Cole Manufacturing Com pany received orders for two car-loads of their celebrated cotton presses this week. One car-load goes to Memphis Tenn., and the other is to be distributed in adjoining counties and in Alabama. Mr. AY. S. Coleman, of the Ellijay Courier, was one of the delegates to the Convention and took a prominent stand among the membership. Bro. Coleman edits one of the leading pa pers in North Georgia, and is justly popular wherever known. Mr. C. F. Hollis has purchased the stock of goods belonging to Mr. E. E. Summers and will conduct the business himself, at the same stand. Mr. Hollis is one of our mo3t worthy and enter prising young men, and will get his full share of trade we feel assured. By not making close connection at Newnan with the Atlanta and AVest Point road, the. Carrollton road has lost the travel from Carrollton to At lanta. The close and early connec tions by way of the new road and the Georgia Pacific have secured that val uable patronage. has The Newnan Land Company about finished laying off streets through its beautiful suburban property and will be ready to sell lots next week. Rare inducements will be offered pur chasers, and doubtless many of our cit izens will take advantage of the op portunity to purchase cheap lots.

A. Pope, after Major D. P. AA r oodroof, after a month’s sojourn amid the scenes of his youth in Virginia, returned home this morning. He reports a delightful trip, and his ruddy cheeks and beaming eye are sufficient evidence that he has not suffered. Mrs. AVoodroof, who ac companied him, will remain two weeks longer. Judge AVilliam Sparks, of Polk coun ty, a former citizen of Newnan, is vis iting his sister, Mrs. Dr. C. D. Smith. He is having a good time recounting fox-hunting experiences with former comrades. Time has dealt kindly with our old friend, leaving him as genial and bright as in the days of “auld lang syne.” Prof. AY. A. Davis, of Newnan, will in a short time open a first-class private school for boys in Prof. Slade’s school- house. He is a graduate of the Univer sity of Georgia, and has a fine reputa tion as a teacher. Prof. Slade 'speaks highly of him and recommends him most heartily to his old patrons.—Col umbus Enquirer-Sun. AVe see from the Sanford (Fla.) Jour nal that Mr. AYillie T. AYood has been appointed general freight and passen ger agent of the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key AA r est railroad, with head quarters at Sanford. Mr. AYood is an old Newnan boy, and his many friends here will be pleased to hear of his pro- motion to this important and responsi ble position. Hon. A. D. Freeman vices at the Baptist church last Sunday. There being services at no other church, a large congregation listened to his fer vent exhortations. Our Alliance friends in the Third district will have a big barbecue to morrow. Preparations have been made for the entertainment of a thou sand or twelve hundred people. Dr. E. S. Lyndon and Dr. J. A. Hun- nicutt will contest for the mayoralty of Athens, and the Chronicle says that with two such- men in the field there is conducted ser-! 110 question but that Athens will secure a good mayor. Both gentlemen for merly resided in this county, and their numerous friends here would be equal ly pleased with the election of either. If there is anything else we can do for Athens, all she has to do is to let us know. The signs are all favorable to a rapid growth in our city during the next twelve months. AA'e predict that the next census will show Newnan’s pro gress in a surprisingly favorable light. Applicants for scholarship in the Technological School will please meet me for examination on the first Satur day in September. Daniel AYalkee, C. S. Com’r. people are not sufficiently awakened to the opportunities here offered for ad vertising their section at this'exhibit of Southern enterprise and advantaged, but we trust in due time we will be heard from. The Exposition opens October 4th and closes October 13th. The Racing. The races at Newnan Driving Park, on Tuesday last, were trotted accord ing to programme. The attendance was small, probably owing to the fact that the Agricultural Convention was in session, and the ceremonies attend ing the laying of the corner stone of the Newnan Cotton Mills occurred at nearly the same hour. The first race, between “Red Cloud” and “Maggie Argyle,” was easily won by the former, as “Maggie” dropped a weight in the first heat and was with drawn from the track. The second race, between “Clyde Lyndon” and “Clara P.,” was close and exciting, the horses going neck-and- neck nearly the entire course. “Clyde” won by a few feet. “Black Bess” won No. 3, trotting against “Ruby” and “Pilot.” The mile race was good, “Blue” win ning it over “Get There” and “June Bug.” In the go-as-you-please race, “John B. Gordon” beat “Grover Cleveland” several lengths. The result of this race was a surprise to those acquainted with the pedigree of the horses. “Gordon’s” lineage is unknown, while (as we are informed) “Cleveland” is a near kins man of “Maud S.” The sweepstakes was a full entry, but “Red Cloud” obtained the swing ©n his competitors and kept it to the close, easily winning the race. The gate receipts amounted to $25. The track was in good order and all the horses did well. evoke only the promptings of hearts filled with tjie enthusiasm of the oc casion. The Lodge was photographed by Messrs. Jackson & Clower before leav ing the ground. Prof. Chas. Astin led the music at the laying of the corner stone. The singing was materially improved by the voices of several young ladies. Newnan Lodge was aided by mqny visiting brethren. Acting Grand Master Mobley is an impressive speaker. Minutes of the Chattahoochee Musical * Convention. Laying of the Corner-Stone of the Newnan Cotton Mills. . The request having been made by the directors of the Newnan Cotton Mills that the corner-stone of the mill build ing be laid with Masonic honors, their wishes were cheerfully complied with and on last Tuesday the Grand Lodge was organized for that purpose, with the following officers: P.

M. the Lodge marched from their hall to the grounds and, in presence of quite a crowd of friends who had gathered there, impressively performed the ceremonies attendant upon the observance of this rite. The 1 following is a list of the articles depos ited in the stone, which will, we trust, lie there for centuries. Four copies of The Heeald and Ar- FIKST DAY.

To the Voters of the 36th Senatorial District: Having been chosen by the Democracy of Campbell county as their preference for Senator of the 36th Dis trict. and relying upon the indorsement of my fellow-citizens in Meriwether, Coweta and Douglas counties, I hereby present my candidacy to the people of tiie district. Should the action of my people be ratified by the Senatorial Convention, to meet in Newnan on Wednesday, September 5th, I hereby pledge myself to a faithful discharge of the duties that may devolve upon me as their chosen representative, promis ing to neglect no opportunity whereby I can serve them. I stand squarely on the platform formulated by the St. Louis Convention, and shall advocate and uphold the time-honored principles of the party. Levi Ballaed. Communicated. Public Speaking. To the Voters of Coweta County:—I will speak at the Court-house in New nan, Saturday, 10 o’clock, a.m., August 25th next, on the grave question of abolishing the City Court. It is the only tribunal in which the people of the county can get immediate redress for wrongs committed. AVithout it those arrested for any offense, however triv ial it may be, must lie in jail from six to twelve months without a trial, while they may be innocent, and their fami lies need their help and protection. In order to get a bondsman, many of the poor and helpless must sign away the liberties of themselves and families. No country on earth, since the time of Samuel, the famous Judge of Israel, has been without a trial court. I can not believe that the people of Coweta will go backward. There is more in this movement than appears on the surface. It strikes at the very founda tion of our material advancement, and is a stigma on our civilization. It is a midnight movement without the prom ise of a dawn—a kind of political se ance where the lights are blown out and the spectators unable to unravel the mystery of the legerdemain. Let us turn on the gas and see the play.- - L. P. Barnes. Newnan, August 16th. The factory building is being pushed rapidly toward completion. Safe And Effective.
