Between the Lines.
It was such a discreet little letter,
Not formal enough to be cold,
Not fond enough to encourage
The reader to love and be bold.
It held him at right proper distance,
No sweet words or dead give-away,
Yet somehow it filled him with gladness
And brightened the whole prosy day.
For he read her love all unspoken,
And he had the assurance to write:
“My dearest, expect me at Lakewood
On the late train Saturday night.”
Then he said that day in the office
He should take a week out of town;
That his sister was off in the country,
And he “really must make a run down.”
O, happy the lover whose sweetheart,
Though prudent and shy she may be,
Leaves hid ’neath the lines of her letter
Some messege he only can see!
Who will bring in the first bale ?

It is with deep regret that we an
nounce the death of Mr. M. S. Smith,
one of Grantville’s oldest and best cit
izens, which occurred at his home in
that town on Wednesday last after a
a short illness. * ^The funeral took
place yesterday.
There has been no recent change in
the schedule of the Savannah, Griffin
and North Alabama road, nor will
there be until the Chattanooga, Rome
and Columbus puts on a faster passen
ger schedule. This will probably be
done next month.
The “cannon ball” was taken off the
Atlanta and West Point road last Sun
day and the accommodation train put
back on. Other changes w r ere made
in the passenger schedule, which will
be noted by referring to the corrected
time-table in another column
the largest and most successful farm

man for his age in the State.
There has been a recent acquisition
to the male population of Panther
Creek district, and Capt. Wilkes Will-
coxon, the paternal sponsor for the new
inhabitant, will see to it that he votes
the straight Democratic ticket. Thus,
day by day, does the Solid South in
crease in solidarity and sassiness.
We have received two communica
tions concerning the Holly Springs
church matter—one from each side—
but as the differences existing be
tween the majority and minority
members have already been fully
discussed in these columns, we have
thought best to close the contro
versy. The articles are, therefore,
respectfully declined.
Jack Keith, a well-known colored
man of this community, left several
weeks since to accept a job of work
that had been offered him in South
west Georgia. He became sick and on
last Sunday started home. Notwith
standing his critical condition, he
managed to hold up until the train
reached Newnan, but died in a few
minutes after his arrival.
Mr. Sam Hill, of Grantville, is ex
perimenting with fine poultry, and has
been remarkably successful so far. He
is now devoting his attention to game
fowls, and has half a dozen lusty young
chanticleers of the “shawl-neck” varie
ty that can stand flat-footed and knock
the socks off of anything in the neigh
borhood. He is grooming a few pairs
for the Columbus Exposition.
Mr. J. B. Mount has decided to es
tablish a branch of his business at Mon
tezuma, Ga., having perfected arrange
ments to this end several weeks ago.
The branch house will be in charge of
his brother, Mr. I. B. Mount, who is
getting ready to move his family to that
town. Mr. J. B. Mount is now in New
York purchasing his fall stock, and w’ill
supply both houses from that point,
Rev. E. J. Beadles dropped in to see
his Newnan friends yesterday, but ow
ing to his limited stay was unable to
get around to shake hands with all. He
is now located in Walton county and
is doing some good work in his Master’s
vineyard. During his pastorate he has
received into the church •sixty-nine new
members, and annual meetings are yet
to be held in two of his principal
churches.
We hope the survivors of the 41st
Georgia Regiment, residing in Coweta
county, will not forget the cordial invi
tation extended to them by the Vete
rans’ Association of Troup county to
meet them on the occasion of their re
union, to take place at LaGrange on
the 5th of September next. Arrange
ments have been made for reduced
rates over the railroad. Let Coweta
send a full delegation.
Col. H. M. Reid will not be a candi
date for re-election to the office of
Solicitor-General, and this term of
Campbell Superior Court is the last
time he will appear here in that capac

efficient officer, and he will retire with
unsullied honor and reputation, enjoy
ing the full confidence of the people,
who wish him renewed success in what
ever he may undertake. — Fairburn

About eighteen months ago Mr. W.
P. Nimmons planted a banana bulb in
his hot house. It was protected from
cold during the past winter, and has
since been carefully tended, until now
it measures twenty inches in circumfer
ence at the base and has attained the
enormous height of eighteen feet. It
is so large Mr. Nimmons is at a loss to
know what to do with it the coming
winter. If it can be preserved until
next spring it will bear fruit.
his venerable equine companion, “Jim,”
who shuffled off his harness and stretch
ed out for his last long nap on Monday
of last week, to awake no more forever.
“Jim” was a well-known character in
horse circles, and his familiar figure
will be missed from our popular drives.
He was about t wenty years of age, and
had been in Capt. Fisher’s possession
twelve or thirteen years.
A certain married lady in our town
sat up until 12 o’clock one night last
week waiting for her husband to come
from the lodge. At last, weary and
worn out with he long waiting, she
went to her sleeping room to retire and
there she found the missing husband
sound asleep. Instead of going to the
lodge he had gone to his room and had
never left the house. Such are the
troubles some poor married women
have to contend with in this life.
We neglected last week to acknowl
edge the pleasure of a visit from our
old friend, Mr. T. D. Weems, of Hen
ry county, who spent one day here on
business.
Capt. A. B. Cates, after a month’
vacation, has been again assigned to
duty in the revenue service, and left
Monday morning to enter upon his
duties. Capt. Cates is one of our best
and most worthy citizens, and if pro
motion is won by merit in the revenue
service we feel sure he will not be Ion
in making his mark. He is stationed
at Blue Ridge, Ga., for the present, but
his friends hope Collector Crenshaw
will soon find a position for him nearer
home.
“Hatcher’s Wrought Iron "Wagon,
which was on exhibition in our city
last week, attracted a good deal of at
tention and was favorably regarded by-
all who saw it. A mere glance is suf
ficient to satisfy one that it combines
features'of superiority and improve
ments not found in any other wagon
It is the coming vehicle for farm use,
and is bound to work a revolution in
the wagon trade when its merits be
come generally known. See adver
tisement.
Our colored Methodist friends closed
a two-weeks’ camp-meeting last Sunday
night, and we understand there were
quite a number of accessions te

Madison Nea! and others. Revive’ ser

degree of interest is being manifested
by the members and friends of that

Capt. H. C. Fisher left Saturday for
Savannah and Charleston, where he
goes to purchase acid, phosphate, aiid
other material required in the manu
facture of fertilizers. The Cow-eta Fer
tilizer Company, of which Capt. Fisher
secretary and treasurer, has recently
extended its manufacturing facilities to
about twice its original capacity, and
will be able next season to fill orders
for their popular brands of guano with
out any of the annoyances or hinder-
ances experienced last season.
Mr. J. S. Nall, who kept books for M.
B. Hamilton & Co., of this city, last
season, has gone to Americus to accept
similar position in the principal office
of the company. Hamilton & Co. are
the heaviest cotton operators in South
west Georgia, and virtually control the
Americus and Albany markets. Mr.
Nall is one of our cleverest citizens, and
one of the most expert and accurate
accountants in the State. He will have
exclusive control of the books of the
firm, as well as those of two other cot
ton firms doing business in that city.
In our account of the races at the
Newnan Driving Park last .week we
stated that “Black Bess” won the
third race, trotting against “Ruby” and
Pilot.” This is a mistake. “Ruby”
was entered, but owing to the illness
of her owner, Mr. R. M. Hackney, she
did not go on the track at all. “New r -
nan,” the well-known trotting stallion,
(another of Mr. Hackney’s horses,) was
also entered for one of the races, but,
for the reason stated above, was subse
quently withdrawn. These are two of
our best horses and we would not in
tentionally do them an injustice.
Mr. J. R. Herring has sold a half in
terest in his mercantile business
to Mr. A. B. Hill, and the firm
name will be known hereafter as Her
ring & Hill. They have already made
some desirable improvements in their
store-room, and have rearranged the
entire stock. One department is de
voted exclusively to dry goods and
clothing, another to shoes and hats
and another to groceries. This arrange
ment adds greatly to the appearance of
the establishment. Their new fall and
winter goods will begin to arrive in a
few days, and when fairly straightened
out they propose to make things hum
Mr. Andrew Davis, of Meriwether
county, is the father of t welve children,
all of whom are living. Six are mar
ried, and their joint issue aggregates
fifteen children. Last Sunday the old
gentleman gathered his children and
grand-children around him and had a
family reunion. Divine services were
conducted by Rev. B. W. Costley, of
Hampton, after which the roll was
called and the total number present-
including children, grandchildren, and
sons and daughters-in-law—was found
to be thirty-three. Mr. J. B. Davis, of
the Third district, is a son of the old
patriarch.
Coweta. He found several old resi
dents who remembered his father, and
they extended to the son of their former
friend a most hearty and cordial wel
come. The trip was a very enjoyable
one in all respects, and as profitable
to the order as it was personally pleas
ant.
The newest and best thing in the
gents’ harness line is the “Atwood Sus
pender,” and is the only masculine
gear of the sort that can be comfortably
adjusted to any form. The shoulder
straps are non-elastic, the only elastic
being in the back straps, which are suf
ficiently strong to resist any ordinary
strain that may result from bending the
body or stooping. The uncomfortable
sawing sensation produced by the old-
style suspender when the body is in
motion is not experienced by wearers
of the “Atwood.” It would be dif
ficult to explain the numerous ad
vantages possessed by this suspend
er; it must be seen to be appreciated,
and, once seen, no man will be satis
fied until he puts on a pair. Messrs.
Hardaway & Hunter have the exclu
sive agency for this place, and will
take pleasure in showing them.
The Texas Excursionists.
All the Texas excursionists have re
turned, Capt. R. W. Andrews being
the last to arrive. Mr. T. N. Bingham
and family returned Sunday afternoon,
and we understand he w r as so well
pleased with the country that he in
vested in a fine farm in the Panhandle
section of the State. Capt. Andrews
was also pleased with the sections vis
ited, but his mahifest delight at getting
back home satisfies us that we are in no
danger of losing him soon. Mr. Pearce
Tomlin has contracted the fever, how
ever, and is liable to “absquatulate” at
any time. He has already disposed of
a portion of his property, and is hold
ing the balance for the first clever man
that comes along. Mr. R. W. Hen
drix also accompanied the party as far
as Arkansas, but seems more at home
since his return than ever. Messrs.
J. F. McSwain and J. M. Jackson have
not been interviewed, but as they are
rather too advanced in years to under
take to grow up with a new country,
they will probably remain at home and
be content with the joys they have.
Alliance Barbecue.
The Alliance barbecue in the Third
district last Saturday was largely at
tended, between five and six hundred
being present. In addition to the nu
merous hampers of choice edibles pre
pared by the ladies, there were thirty
barbecued carcasses—enough to feed
double the number in attendance. Sev
eral of our citizens went out by special
invitation and enjoyed the day with
their country friends, returning in the
afternoon. A speech was made by Hon.
Thos. Jackson, of the Sixth district,
who confined himself to a discussion of
the Alliance and agricultural subjects,
and made a good impression upon his
hearers.
The affair was managed by the fol
lowing committee of arrangements :
Gentlemen—I. .J. Jackson, chairman,
J. D. Camp, F. B. Chandler, R. T.
Carpenter, J. I. McGhee, Hill Moore.
Ladies—Mrs. R. A. Brown, chairman,
Mrs. J. D. Camp, Mrs. F. B. Chandler,
Mrs. I. J. Jackson, Mrs. J. P. Cates and
Mrs. Harry Fry.
The beautiful grove near Liberty
school-house was the scene of the
gathering, and. a prettier place could
not have been selected.

Our Methodist friends are now in the
midst of one of the most interesting
revival meetings that the church has
experienced for years. The services
began last Sunday morning and have
been kept up with varying interest
ever since. The morning prayer-meet
ings are well attended, while the at
tendance at night has been unusually
large. Bro. Foote has been working
hard for the success of the meeting,
and we trust that his labors may be
abundantly blessed. Rev. A. M. Thig
pen, of Carrollton, will arrive this
morning, and Rev. W. A. Candler is
expected next week.
“Henry Grady” and “Filbert Wilkes,’
two of Newnan’s fine young thorough
breds, have been sent to Columbus for
a course of training under Mr. S. A.
Hughes, the professional horse-train
er, who is now in charge of the
trotting stables in that city. “Henry
Grady” is owned by Messrs. M. G.
Keith and G. W. Peddy, and “Filbert
Wilkes” by Mr. J. A. Parks. “Filbert
Wilkes” has a pedigree as long
as your arm, though he has had
but little training as yet. “Henry
Grady” has both record and pedigree,
and after further training will be put
on the track at the Exposition races in
October.
Messrs. E. S. Daniel and W.^S. Cope
land returned a few days ago from a
trip to Greene county, where, as dis
trict organizers of the Farmers’ Alii
ance, they put in some good work for
the order. Seven or eight lodges were
instituted by these gentlemen, and they
were received everywhere with the
most distinguished consideration. Be
fore leaving the county, Mr. Daniel
visited and made a speech in the church
where his father used to worship over
forty years ago, prior to his removal to

Advice to Mother*.
Mrs. Wnt blow’s Soothing Strop should always
be used when children are cutting teeth. It re
lieves the little suffererat once; it produces natural,
quiet sleep, and the little cherub awakes as ‘ ‘bright
as a button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It
soothes the child,softens the gums,allaysallpain,
regulates the bowels, andis the best known remedy
for diarrhoea, whether arising from teething or
other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle.
