COAL NOTICE!
I will be in Newnan in a
few days for the purpose of
taking orders for the celebra
ted “Montevallo Grate Coal”
for August delivery. Wait
for me and get your winter’s
supply of first-class coal at sum
mer prices. C. L. WORD,
Agt. Montevallo Coal.
Address, West Point, Ga.
Senoia.
Mr. Editor:—After an absence of
twelve days, spent pleasantly among
relatives and friends, we are at home
again, and hope in some better state
to meet the fall and winter demands
that may be made upon us.
We hope to be pardoned for offering
a few reflections upon the condition of
some of the sections visited, at least as
we regard them. The school interests'
of portions of some counties is not of
that high order which the present age
of mental progression demands. The
population is numerous and the chil
dren plentiful, but there are few
schools and they are taught only some
three months in the year; hence there
is not that thriving intellectual devel
opment in keeping with the apparent
prosperous farming interests in some
sections visited. We hold that any
parent who subordinates the intellec
tual training of his children to the fur
therance of any secular interest makes a
very serious mistake, his linancial abili
ty, ofcourse, being considered. Even
then, he should be willing to make
reasonable sacrifices to advance such
great interests so much in demand
throughout our whole section of coun
try. The education of the masses
should be held only secondary in im
portance to the claims of the gospel,
and until its importance is fully realiz
ed, we may expect the next and suc
ceeding censuses to show a lamentable
amount of illiteracy. We do not know
but that our comments might well
apply to some sections nearer home.
In some places we found the relig
ious elements in something of a turmoil.
TheSeventh-dayAdventists have estab
lished their creed and are met by very
strong opposition. Some churches have
been divided and hence fraternal feel
ing is at a very low ebb. The Mormons
have put in an appearance in one neigh
borhood, and are making some converts;
hence we conclude that whatever suc
cess these and other kindred sects may
attain is due largely to the want of
proper educational and moral training
of the masses.
The Seventh-day Adventists pitched
their tents here last fall and if they
made one straight-out convert we do
not know it. And why? Xo doubt,
owing to the fact of the high intellec
tual and moral attainments of our peo
ple; and we venture the assertion that
a Mormon, as such, would not show his
head in this, or any other like commu
nity. It is the illiterate element into
which the Mormon would inject his
bigamistic and illegitimate principles;
hence the great importance of being
educationally and religiously fortified
against his seductive and ruinous influ
ences.
Much rain has fallen in this section
for some days past, and may result in
some injury to the opening cotton crop
and to corn on bottom lands.
Mr. G. B. Rooks, contractor, is now
laying the foundation for the brick
store-house of Messrs. Hutcheson &
Roberts. The work has been somewhat
retarded by heavy rains.
Mr. A. G. Couch has opened his school
of telegraphy. He has a'list of twenty
pupils subscribed. This is an institu
tion that should commend itself to
the young men of this and other sec
tions of Georgia. Good telegraphers
are at all times in demand, and it is an
honorable calling and commands good
wages. Hope Mr. Couch’s school will
receive, as it deserves, a very liberal
patronage. If we mistake not, this is
the first school of the kind opened in
our State.
Both our schools are being patron
ized for the fall term. Prof. Brown has
' about fifty-live and Prof. Pollock some
eighty-five pupils.
Miss Carrie Ballard has a school at
Eufaula, Alabama, and left here Mon
day to take charge of the same. She
does not expect to return before June

lands below the mills badly washed.
Mr. Jackson’s mill was completely de
molished and washed away. This mill
is commonly known as “Brown’s mill,”
but at the time of the disaster was
owned by Mr. Jackson. Loss estimat
ed at $$00 or $1,000. Xo insurance.
On account of the incessant rains
work on the side-track and depot will
be delayed until nqxt week. f
Mr. R. Y. Jackson is ready to wait
l his friends at W. A. Brannon’s
store. Young is a clever young man
and we are glad to have him with us.
What has become of the entertain
ment spoken of some time since for
the benefit of the new church?

The school has held up well this term,
and if the community can succeed

The school, and friends who are invit
ed, will enjoy an entertainment on
Friday evening at the close of the term.

Mr. Editor:—Being off from home
engaged in labors that required all
my time and thought, my space in
your paper has not been represented
for a bri^f time.
At this penciling we are having an
excess of fain and cloudy weather,
retarding the grow'th of cotton, and in,
some of the rank growth a boll rot,
yet to no great extent.
The railroad authorites have agreed
to build a larger depot at this place,
which will soon be in course of con
struction.
Prof. C. L. Moses lias had an attack
of sickness which laid him up for sev
eral days, but I am glad to report him
improving at this writing.
Rev. Mr. Sanders held a week’s meet
ing with his church at this place, which
resulted in several additions to the
membership.
Xext Sabbath the Presbyterian house
of worship will be set apart to the ser
vice of God. Dr. DuBose, Dr. McKay
and Dr. Stacy will officiate.
The rain greatly interfered with the
Universalists convention on Saturday
and Sunday last,which prevented many
from attending, although the attend
ance was good. I understand there
were eleven accessions to the member
ship.
Quite a number from Puckett’s at
tended service at this place on the
fourth Sabbath. Come again*, young
friends. Turin w r ill welcome you at
any time and giv6.you the best in her
line.
Mrs. Sams, together with her family,
returned to Atlanta last week, after

Notes from Old McIntosh.
Mr. Editor:—A perfect deluge, ovei
the strip of land forming the valley ot
Turkey Creek, resulted from the break
ing up of the dam at Pearl Spring
Park and Dr. Reese’s fish-pond. Tur
key Creek has its rise in the lako at
Pearl Spring Park, and flowing through
several miles of farm lands empties into
White Oak Creek, a little above tin-
railroad bridge. The stream is subject
to suddeu overflows, often damaging tt
the crops on its borders; and the out
breaking of such a volume of water at
its source naturally caused an unpreee
dented overflow. Without pretendin ,
to give all the particulars accurately,
not being situated so as to obtain them,
I give such information as has reached
me. On Mr. Pringle’s farm, (formerly
Mr. Gearreld’s) the corn was washed
up by the roots. On Mr. Lum Jacobs’
farm the water rose above the ears or
the standing corn. His pasture wa*
washed completely away, and it wa!*
only by strenuous efforts, and the time
ly help of some of his colored neighbors,
that fie was enabled to recover hk
stock, a mule and a number of valuable
cattle. Quantities of fine hay recently ‘
cut was destroyed. The bridge ove:
White Oak, on the McIntosh road, w»*
completely submerged and consider*
bly damaged. At the railroad bridge
as described by a witness, “I cook-
have stood on the trestle and wash«s
my hands in the creek.” ConsideraW*
excitement prevailed among the angler
of the vicinity on account of the quar;
tity of fish, especially carp, set afloa.
by the break. .
The weather on Saturday and Sun
day seriously interrupted, if not en
tirely prevented, the regular “first Sun
day” service at Mt. Gilead.
Miss Annie Lou Bailey left home os
last Monday to resume attendance i
college at Millersburg, Ky.
Miss Grace Herring returned, «
Monday last, from a visit to her aisle?

Newnan, Ga., July 13.
Puckett’s.
Mr. Editor:—Miss Emmie Hindsman
has been visiting relatives near Griffin.
Mr. S. S. McCollum and family have
returned from a visit to relatives in
Carroll county.
Mr. Alvin Couch is a handy young
man at Dr. Camp's store this season.
Mr. Sumter Schuxnpert, from South
Carolina, is out here on a few days’
visit. He Tinted the family ef Mr. F.
S. Cureton this week.
The heavy rains have been very de
structive. Bridges and mill-dams have
been swept away on all the streams we
Panther Creek.
Mr. Editor:—We had very heavy
rains to visit this section of the county
on Saturday and Sunday last, which
did considerable damage by washing
fences away; land was badly washed;
newly worked roads are in worse
condition than if they had never
been worked. The bridge across big
Wahoo, near Judge Benj. Leigh’s, was
washed from its foundations, and the
main span was carried some distance
below. It will be a difficult job to
move it back. Most of the timber will
do to work over. The public are put
to much inconvenience in getting to and
from Xewnan, having to go four or five
miles out of the way. The abutments
of the bridge at Sargent’s factory, I
learn, were washed away. Crops on
lewlands were overflowed, but I can
not give any information that would
approximate the damage.
I learn since writing the above para
graph that a portion of Hutcheson’s
mill-dam on Wahoo was washed away
and that the bridge across the creek at
the same place was undermined.
From a private letter received by Mrs.
Lydia Gurley we learn that her son,
Richmond Gurley, a young man 21 years
old, is lying quite law with, typhoid fev
er at the town of Tallapoosa, Haralson
county, Ga.
The Sucess of the Great Show Now Ac
3ured--The Attractions.
The preparations for the Chattaho-
chee Valley Exposition, which wi
open in Columbus October 4th, kav
so far progressed as to assure a brilliai
success. Most elaborate and extensh
arrangements for the great show hat
been made. All necessary buildings hart
been erected at the city’s cost, an
very liberal subscriptions from the cit
zens have enabled the management t
spare no expense in arranging tt
grounds. The exhibits will be fine an
numerous, and the success of the sp.
cial features of the Exposition i8 ft
ready assured. There will be amilit
ry prize drill on the opening and secor
days and no less than ten of the leai
ing companies of the South have a
ready entered. There will be a gret
reunion ot Confederate veterans;
tournament; manufacturers’ davjpyr
technic displays, to be furnished undi
contract with *one of the mostcelebra
ed fire-works firms in the United State
a genuine old-fashioned Southern f<
chase, and similar entertainments. T;
racing will be unusually fine, as no e:
pense has been spared in the prepai
tion of the race course. The track
s ; mf>ly perfect, and was built in eli
tical form and after the most approve
models. The exposition is intersta
in its scope. The prosperous city >
Columbus is the metropolis of the Cha
tahoochee Valiev, and here the thr.
great States of Georgia, Alabama a;
Florida will unite in friendly compe
tion. These, with their sister Stat*
will co-operate in making a grand d
play. Exhibitors have rarely had *
fered-them such inducements as tl.
Exposition will afford. Premiums a
liberal, the purses are generous, a
the attendance will lw phenominal
large. The many novAand distincti-
features and attractions, and the ves
exhaustive display from all quartei .
will render the occasion one ef proi
to exhibitors,of pleasure to visitors, tu .
of great instruction to all who x
tend.
The railroads, with their usual liber
ality toward such enterprises, have IL- -
ed the rate of one cent a mile for m-
sengers, of one rate for indvidual exnh
its, and no charge either way for corn-,
ty exhibits. This will insure a greats-'
tendance. Columbus is a live city, se
nothing will tend more to bring her h -
to notice and add to her prosperity
than this Exposition.
