Capt. Seaton Grantland,. of Griffin, spent a few hours with us last Friday. It is not saying too much to venture the remark that he is as clever as ever, and we unhesitatingly do so. He took a drive to the lake while here. Best time for sowing Georgia rye and barley. A supply regularly on hand at the New Hardware and Seed Store. Seven-top and other varieties of turnip seed, grass blades, steelyards, lace leather, belting and machine oil. A. Pope. The R. D. Cole Manufacturing Com pany is so rushed with work it has been found necessary to run night and day in the machinery department. Even with this extra force the company has some difficulty in keeping up with its orders. The first bale of cotton was brought in last Tuesday afternoon by Mr. W. H. Ozburn. It weighed 613 pounds, classed middling, and was bought by Arnold, Burdett & Co. at 9 cents. The cotton was raised on Dr. A. B. Cal houn’s farm.

He has just returned from an extended trip to Cincinnati, Niagara Falls and Toronto, Canada, and reports a most delightful time. Warm Springs camp-meeting begins to-day. Quite a number of our young people will attend. Florida letters arriving at Newnan look as though they had passed through a perforating machine. Miss Essie Brodnax, who has been in school at Nashville, Tenn., thb past year, is at home again. Mr. J. W. Martin returned Monday from Southwest Georgia, whither he went on the 15tli inst. to attend the fu neral of his sister, whose death occur red on the day previous, after a short illness.

Our magnificent stocks of fall and win ter boots, shoes, hats and furnishing goods, are arriving daily at Sneads’. An interesting revival meeting is in progress this week at Providence Bap tist church, four miles west of town. Dr. Reese lias seventy-five acres of corn oh his Carroll county farm that will average thirty bushels per acre. | Our present Board of Aldermen de serve the commendation of the citizens of Newnan generally. They take more interest in the -welfare of Newnan than any previous Board has done for years, and are giving attention to every department of public work. If the Newnan Land Company will terrace the bluff on the north side of the Brodnax purchase fronting thg railroad, and sod it with bermuda, the natural sightliness of the place would be greatly enhanced. The improvement suggested would cost but little. The work of surveying, staking off lots, opening up streets, and otherwise improving the beautiful tract of land owned by the Newnan Land Company, has been completed, and a public sale of the property will probably be adver tised for the first week in October— perhaps earlier. Copies of the course of study for the •city public schools can be had at M. L. Carter & Co.’s book-store to-morrow. Be sure to call and see the bargain counter at Mrs. R. M. Barnes’. Rib- Superintendent Ford is bus}' making preparations for the opening of the fall term of the city public schools, the attendance upon which promises to be even larger than last session. Some changes will be made in the course of j study, we understand, but none of a very important nature. . bership, the meeting was a most gra cious and enjoyable one. The attend ance throughout was good, and Rev. Messrs. Foote and Thigpen were untir ing in their labors. They are faithful workers in the Lord’s vineyard. Prof. Wm. Wells received the sad in telligence this week of the death of his brother, Rev. G. W. Wells, of Oshkosh, Wis., which occurred at his home in that city on the 23d inst. At the time of his death* Mr. Wells was presiding elder of the Oshkosh Methodist Con ference, and was one of the leading Methodist divines of the State. One of the mules attached to the wagon containing the three negro preachers who were killed at HilFs crossing last summer, by a West Point train, was in Griffin last Friday, being driven by a son of one of the dead men. The mule shows a deep scar on the hip as a memento of that terrible catastrophe, and can’t be induced to go near a railroad. Mr. W. S. Askew is now- a full-fledged citizen of Newnan, and in future will enjoy equal rights with the oldest in habitant in abusing the Town Council and denouncing the prevailing wicked ness of the metropolis. He moved in last week, occupying the handsome res idence on Jackson street recently purchased by him from Mm I. P. Brad ley. We bid him welcome. Mr. J. F. Sponcler has purchased the vacant lot opposite the residence of Mr. John Askew, and will erect a neat five-room cottage thereon. Mr. H. M. Arnold is also making arrangements to build a handsome new residence on the corner lot north of the Methodist church. Both contracts have been awarded to the R. D. Cole Manufactur ing Company, and work will begin at once. We had a pleasant call Wednesday from Col. E. F. Strozier, of tlie Mf ri te ether Free Press. He says the Free Press is on a boom, the circulation having increased so rapidly since the paper was started, about six weeks ago, as to necessitate the purchase of a power press. The proprietors are now negotiating for a larger and faster press, and other improvements are contemplated. Mr. R. C. Ward, of the First district, announces his candidacy this week for the office of Tax Collector, subject to the action of the Democratic party. Mr. Ward is so maimed as to incapaci tate him for manual labor, and but for this affliction would not seek the office. While physically maimed, however, he is confident of his ability to discharge the duties of the office efficiently and satisfactorily, and earnestly solicits the support of his friends. See announce ment. striking novelties in the fine dress geods line. As a consequence he has selected the nicest and best lot of goods he has yet carried, including every, thing usually kept in a first class dry goods establishment. His goods will arrive next week, and his lady friends and customers are cordially invited to call and see them. Oh Sunday next the schedule of the Atlanta and West Point road will be changed again. The accommodation train will arrive here at 0 A. M., going north, connecting at the junction with the train from Carrollton. Returning, this train will leave Atlanta at 4 P. M., again connecting here with the train from Griffin to Carrollton. So far as we know, the change does not affect any other train on the West Point t road. It is understood that a new pas senger train will be put on the Savan nah, Griffin and North Alabama road next Sundav. The Gritfin News of Wednesday says: “Ernest Lower leaves for Newnan this morning to take charge of the tele graph office at that place.” This is a mistake. Some time ago Mr. Lower applied to Mrs. Havas, who is in charge of the Western Union office here, for the position of assistant during the fall and winter months, but no agreement has been reached as yet, and we under stand Mr. Lower has since secured a position in the Griffin office. We don’t suppose anybody will “take charge of the office in Newnan” so long as the clever and estimable lady who now fills that position chooses to keep it. afflicted One of our youug men is with color-blindness. He drove a black horse out to one of our neighboring country churches last Sunday night, and when services were oyer he fum bled around until he found about the sorrelest nag on the grounds, which he innocently harnessed to his vehicle and came home. The mistake was not dis covered until next morning, and the pained surprise of the young man was only exceeded by the indignation of the honest old farmer when he found that somebody had swapped horses with him when he was not around. It is a sad case, but we are glad to know- the matter has been amicably and sat isfactorily settled. The good people residing in the Wil kinson neighborhood, in the Sixth dis trict, met last Saturday and enjoyed an old-fashioned barbecue. It was rather a private affair, not more than fifty be ing present; but whatever was lacking in numbers was more than compensa ted by the solid enjoyment of those wlio did attend. Mrs. B. S. Askew and Maj.andMrs. U. B. Wilkinson were favored with invitations, and they de scribe it as a most pleasant and de lightful affair. Mr. G. R. Black has returned home after a sojourn of ten days in the mountains of Walker and Chattooga counties. Dr. Ed Lyndon is making arrange ments to start up an iron foundry in j Athens. He proposes to invest $20,000 ; in the enterprise. We daresay Newnan never spent a ! more lively summer than the present. • The fall business will find us ready to J push it through with a vim. Mrs. Dr. Beckcom, and her accom plished daughter, Miss Ella Gena, of Twiggs county, are visiting in the city, the guests of Mrs. W. A. Turner. Mrs. F. M. Daniel, of Griffin, is on a visit to her parents, Major and Mrs. 1 B. Wilkinson. .She is accompanied by her sons, Masters Royal and Raymond. Superintendent Hege, of the Cen tral railroad, was in the city Wednes day. While here he held a conference with the officers of the Newnan Land Company in reference to granting cer tain privileges requested by the com pany, and we learn that the interview was altogether satisfactorv. We enjoyed a pleasant call Tuesday from Prof. W. T. Weaver, principal oj Lutherville Institue. The Professor has just taken charge of that excellent school, and while we congratulate the good people of the community in pro procuring the services of so capable a teacher, we must also congratulate him upon having cast his lot among such en terprising people, who appreciate true educational ability, and will patron ize him most liberally. Major N. B. Glover has offered to donate a choice building lot for a cot tage if “Doc” Norris will marry before Christmas, and “Doc” is now on t In- lookout for some philanthropist who feels enough interest in his welfare to donate the cottage. lie t.hmlc- the world owes him that much. To-niglit, at the residence of Prof. Daniel Walker, an entertainment will be given for the benefit of the Little Gleaners’ Missionary Society, and from a brief scanning of the programme we feel warranted in saying that it. will be tin enjoyable occasion. The exercises will include recitations, music, etc., menders of t he society otdy participa ting. Tlie price of admission is only ton cents, and we hope the little folks la-greeted by a large audience Mer- i the luted WJl Mr. Cecil Gabbett, General Manager of the Atlanta and West Point railroad, was in Newnan Tuesday, figuring on the style, dimensions, and probable cost of a new passenger depot for Newnan. The R. D. Cole Manufac turing Company has been authorized to furnish estimates of the cost of a handsome wooden structure, 20x42 feet, and it is pretty well settled that the erection of a building of “this de scription will soon be commenced. The old depot will be used exclusively for the storage of freight and baggage. The new building will be located on the west side of the old depot, fronting on Hancock street, and will contain two cosy waiting rooms, ticket office, express office, etc. The city authorities have opened up a new street in the northern portion of the city, running from College avenue through the lot of Prof. M. P. Kellogg to the street beyond, and residents in that part of town are very much de lighted with the improvement. The street opens in front of the new public school building and terminates at a point nearly opposite the residence of Judge B. H. Wright. It is fifty feet wide by eight hundred long. The land was donated by Prof. Kellogg, and the new street has been named Cleveland avenue. The street force, under the- direction of Marshal Rob inson and Deputy Marshal Lee, are now engaged in finishing up the work, and it will be formally opened to the public to-day or to-morrow.

REESE’S OPERA HOUSE' OPENING OF THE SEASON. How To Overcome the Dangers of Ex posure. Francis O. Reilly, the well-known liv ery man of No. 18 Prince street New York, says of Allcock’s Porous Plasters: “For the last forty-two years I have been engaged in the livery aud hacking business. I aiii greatly aided by my four boys. We are much exposed to the weather, and we have found All cock’s Plasters of very great service. We use them as chest protectors, plac ing one on the chest and one on the pit of the stomach. They not only ward off the cold but act as a tonic. We are frequently affected with rheu matism, kinks in the back, and pains in the side; but one or two of Allcock’s Plasters quickly cure us. My wife and daughter have been using All cock’s Plasters tor weak back and think the world of them. I have now been using them for twenty years, and always have a box in the house.” Literary Piracy Condemned. New York Sun. “Chief Justice Van Brunt, holding the Special Term of the Supreme Court on the application of Nelson Smith and Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, made the in junction in favor of Prof. Loisette, re straining George S. Fellows from pub lishing his Memory System perpetual. “Dr. William A. Hammond, Daniel Greerileaf Thompson, author of a work on psychology, and several other pro fessors testified that Prof. Loisette’s system was original, being a new depar ture in the education of the memorv. The Court ordered Fellows to deliver up to Prof. Loisette the stereotype plates and all the books in. his control. Over nine thousand copies of the pi rated edition were delivered up vester- day.” We are informed thatfull details will be furnished in the prospectus sent post free by Prof. A.
