He was accom panied home Monday by hissister, Mrs. Josie Freeman home from the war, his brother-in-law. Major Mark Nall, having been killed in service, he conceived it to be his duty* to remain single and to attend to all the business of his mother and sister, and assist his sister to raise her three child ren. And well and faithfully did he perform these duties. Of an exceedingly mild and gentle disposition, he “followed the even tenor of his way,” offending no one, He was accom- and respected and esteemed by all who knew him. In the course of the 44 years of his life, I have no idea he ever Miss Annie Freeman, of Newnan, has spoke an evil word of anybody, and it Hero Gbuertisements. ^ Notice to Road Commissioners. * GEORGIA—Cowkta County: Complaints from various parts of the coun ty having reached the Board of Connty Com missioners of a failure to have the public roads put in good order.

The cotton year which closed last week was the greatest in Savannah’s history. This port’s receipts from September 1, 1887, to August 31, 1888, were in round numbers, 900,000 bales. Friday night, was the anniversary of the earthquake of 1886, and strange to say a slight shock was felt in Athens about dark. It was only for a feiv sec onds, but a great many reported that they felt it. Albany has received over 4,000 bales 'ofthis year’s cotton, being unusually large receipts so early in the season. The rust and drouth of last month have forced the staple into maturity, and a shortened crop is predicted. Secretary Nisbet, pf the State Agri cultural Society, received a letter from Hon. James II.

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. Meriwether Free Press. Capt. Robt. H. Hardaway, of Newnan, was in Greenville last Tuesday.

He is ambitious, self-reliant, honest and true, and with persever ance lie is sure to succeed. Col. P. F. Smith, of Newnan, attend ed Court this week. Col. Smith is a most brilliant and successful lawyer of much celebrity. He is greatly interest ed in the extension of the Columbus and Rome road to Newnan. We hope that the question of extending the road will be agitated both at Greenville and Newnan, and that the railroad author ities will duly consider the wishes of the people at both points and between, and put the link in at an early day. perhaps, vil wc ever spoke an evil word of him.

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.

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 «; U mter bis denomination that he erected a * house of worship near his home, which now stands as a monument to Ins relig ious zeal and his memory. \ o-ood man has gone, but his influ ence lives on, and when years have passed away many will still give thanks that such an one ever lived.
