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 next. Mrs. W. P. Maxwell has returned to Montezruma on account of the siekne of her husband, who is in business there. Mrs. E. R. Griggs and Mrs. J. M. Griggs, after a pleasant visit of some weeks, have gone to Atlanta on a short visit, after which they will return to their home in Dawson, Ga. Mrs. TV. S. Travis, of Argyle, Fla., is visiting her parents here, Mr. and Mrs. T. X. Yin in g. Mrs. X. Connell, of Atlanta, has been visiting relatives here this week. Sept. 5th. VincT.nt. have heard from. Messrs. Bob Car penter, I. J. Jackson, and John Car penter’s mill-dams were broken and 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? M iss Ada May Broom, from Xewnan, visited relatives here this week. Camp and T. O. Dunn ister was praying the young man drew Messrs. E. X. are serving in the capacity of jurors this w'eek. Mr. E. C. Cureton and Miss Ophelia Hall are visiting in Senoia and vicinity this week. 4 « Prof. W. S. Featherston will close his school here on Friday, 14th inst. The school has held up well this term, and if the community can succeed in securing Prof. Featherston’s ser vices again, it should he congratulated.’ The school, and friends who are invit ed, will enjoy an entertainment on Friday evening at the close of the term. Sept. 5th. Ztjbetus. I am sorry to learn that Mrs. W.A Copelarrd is quite low with dropsy. Mrs. B. J. Teal, of Villa Rica, visited the family of Mr. E. C. Palmer hut week. Mr. Dora Wortham and wife left on last Monday for their home at Colum biana, Ala. Mrs. Elizabeth Moore, of Centre. Ala., is visiting her son, Mr. J. S. Moore, of Cedar Creek district. A letter dated August 30th, and mail ed at Quitman, Wood county, Texas, from Miss Della Reese to her parents.. in this county, states that the eottor worms are destroying the cotton crop in that section. The writer also says* that at a protracted meeting in that county, a young man approached thr minister and asked him to kneel and make a special prayer for him. They kneeled together, and while the min a bottle of liquor from his pocket and took a drink. Riffles. Sept. 3d. Turin. 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 spending several weeks in this com munity. On the first Sabbath of this month, a Baptist church was constituted at Woolseyville consisting of twenty-three members. Dr. I. G. Woolsey, Rev. Mr. Allen, Dr. Wells, and Elder W. II Prichard formed the Presbytery. Rev. Mr. Hudson baptized twenty- five members into the fellowship of Antioch church. Mr. Thomas Shell, Sr., is now con nected with the business house of Russell A Harris, of Turin. Mr. William Drake, of Carrollton, has been on a visit to his brother, Mr. Thomas Drake, who is very low. Sept. 3d. R. A. T. 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? Mrs. Lee, of Meriwether. Sept. 5th. Sl'bscbibke. THE COLUMBUS EXPOSITION. 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. 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. M ■ - . V : < & mmm iHyHii
