The cotton year which closed last

Hon. P. F. Smith came through tin*
country last Tuesday from Newnan to
Greenville and says he never saw such
crops anywhere as those all along the
route. He adds that there is not a
sorry crop on the road. He thinks there
is no necessity for going to Texas when
the red hills of Georgia can produce
such a yield. All the country needs
through* which he passed is a railroad
from Greenville to Newnan. This road,
Mr. Smith thinks, will be constructed
in a few years.

Eugene Strozier was admitted to

did not grow up in ease and luxury.
His faculties and his hands have been
profitably employed since he has been

to fit him for the profession he has
chosen. He is ambitious, self-reliant,
honest and true, and with persever
ance lie is sure to succeed.
Col. P. F. Smith, of Newnan, attend

the question of extending the road will
be agitated both at Greenville and
Newnan, and that the railroad author

the people at both points and between,
and put the link in at an early day.

The Farmers’ Alliance will, on the 1st day of
September, open for business in the city of
Newnan, a warehouse. The undersigned have
been elected as managers, with full power to conduct and con
trol the same. They are responsible for any losses that may
be sustained through the neglect or mismanagement of the
emploveess. We have rented the house known as the Rus
sell Warehouse, which is one of the best in the city, being
larcre and well suited for the business. We have employed
Hr. J. H. Russell to superintend the business. Mr. Russell
has for several years conducted business at this stand. His
moral character and business qualifications are too veil known
to require comment here. We well keep at the scales a com
petent and trustworthy weigher. Our charges will be reason
able. We have also arranged to make liberal advances, at
reasonable rates, to those who u T ish to store and hold their
cotton for spring prices. We solicit the patronage of all far
mers in this and adjoining counties, and ask a liberal share of
the buyers and merchants of the city. VV e extend to and ask
of the managers of other warehouses the usual business cour
tesies. We shall make no radical changes in the usual meth
ods, but conduct it on sound business principles. To the Al
liance brethren of the adjoining counties we extend a cordial
invitation to bring your cotton to this city and weigh with us.
To the members of the Farmers’ Alliance in this county we
desire to say, this is a business enterprise of your own crea
tion, (through your delegates,) managed by men of your own
selection. Brethren, let there be perlect unity among us and
business success v T ill crown our efforts.

Against Other Remedies
Putnam Co., April 29,1SS7.
I have been suffering for most thirty
years with an itching and burning all
over my face and body. I took eigh
teen bottles of one blood medicine and
it did me no good. I commenced last
January to use B. B. B., and after us
ing five bottles I felt better and stout
er than I have in thirty years; my
health is better and I weigh more than
1 ever did. The itching is nearly ceas
ed and I am confident that a few more
bottles of B. B. B. will cure me entire
ly. I am sixty-two years old and can
now do a good day’s work in my field.
I consider it the best medicine I have
ever seen, for it certainly did me more
good than all the medicine I have ever
taken. I had, in all, nearly a hundred
risings on my face, neck and body.

Amis.—Mr. William Amis was born
in Oglethorpe county, Ga., June 24th,
1812, and died at his residence
Banning, Carroll county, August 24th,
18SS, iu the 77th year of his age. In
early life lie was married to Miss Jane
Pinson, sister to the lamented J. J.
Pinson, of Newnan, with whom lie
lived in unalloyed wedded bliss until
her death, a few years ago. 1* ive child
ren,four daughters and one son—a Bap

in loving remembrance tenderly cherish
their rnanv virtues. Mr. Anns was a
useful man, an honored citizen and a
faithful friend. Scrupulously upright
in his dealings toward his .fellowman,
industrious in his habits, faithful to Ins
promises and obligations, he was recog
nized m the community where he lived
as a leading citizen and a benefactor to
his surrounding neighbors, I or a num
ber of vears he was one of Coweta
most extensive farmers, but at the
dose of the late war he removed to
Carroll, where he did much toward de
veloping the resources of that county,
erecting a factory there, as well as oth
er improvements, that might ne\er
have existed had it not been for his
spirit of enterprise. He was an official
member of the Primitive Baptist
church, and such was his devotion to

* house of worship near his home, which
now stands as a monument to Ins relig
ious zeal and his memory.

that such an one ever lived. E. J. b.
