THE NEWNAN
CARRIAGE AND BUGGY WORKS.
We are now prepared to do all kinds of Carriage.
Buggy and Wagon work, and in a style that cannot be
excelled in the State, or anywhere else. Our work
men are skillful and efficient; our material the besi
that money will buy; our equipment thorough and
complete in every department. In fact, we have spar
ed neither pains nor expense in preparing for the bus
iness, and our facilities for doing work in this line are
first-class in every respect.
We have on hand the finest lot of material ever put into buggy or carriage work in this
section of the State, and workmen that know exactly how to put it together. We do- not
get our vehicles “knocked down,” from the North, as many other manufacturing firms do, bui
make them out and out. This is our strongest recommendation. We manufacture-
CARRIAGES, PHAETONS,
LANDEAUS, HEARSES.
ROAD-CARTS. BUGGIES,
SULKEYS, WAGONS ETC.
We are also prepared to do all kinds of carriage, buggy and wagon repair work, in the
best style and at the lowest prices. Plantation work and horse-shoeing a specialty.
Give us your work; we guarantee satisfaction.

Notice to Road Commissioners.
GEORG I A—Coweta County:
Complaints from various parts of the coun
ty bavins reached the Board of County Com
missioners of a failure to have the’ public
roads put in good order. Road Commissioners
are therefore notified that the roads must he
worked, else they will be dealt with as is pro
vided by law.
By the Board: R. W. FREEMAN,
Clerk.
Senoia.
Mr. Editor:—Three sunny days and
everybody feels better. The cloudy,
rainy weather had a very depressing
effect upon the feelings of most people;
for it certainly proved injurious to most
of the farming interest. The pea crop
in the fields is rained; some of the corn
sprouting, and much of the cotton crop
half rotten in the boll, or, if open, is
1 badly damaged. The actual loss is
difficult to ascertain, but we feel sure
t hat ten per cent, is a safe estimate.
We beg permission to offer some fur
ther reflections incident to our recent
visit. The counties of Washington,
Glasscock and Jefferson are prohibition
counties—nofin name, but in fact. No
druggist or apothecary is allowed to sell
—not even a physician. If the vile
thing is sold at all, anywhere, or in any
way, it is in a clandestine, sneak-thief
way, and by creatures as destitute of
principle as a hog is of soul, and about
the only difference between the two is,
one has a tail, the other has not. So
cially and instinctively we could not
discriminate about the level of the two;
and, further, we hold that the same
rule applies not only to the counties
mentioned, but to every county and
place where such lawlessness prevails
Now we wish to say that in these coun
ties there is no trouble, no inconven
ience or sickness on account of the ab
sence of liquor. The doctors manage
cases of sickness just as well now as
when the sale was allowed by law.
There is no more sickness now than
then, and, with few exceptions, all are
prosperous and happy. As noted be
fore, the Superior Court of Glasscock
was m session only two days. In Jef
ferson and Washington, larger coun
ties, it usually lasts one week in each—
whereas if liquor wag sold as hereto
fore about double the time and costand
loss would he sustained. Now, if the
people cf these counties are prospering
and well satisfied with this state of
things, and would not have it changed
for any consideration, why should not
Coweta enjoy the same rights and priv
ileges V If no necessity exists for its
sale (and there is none,) in the counties
mentioned, there cannot upon any
principle of right and justice be any
use for it in this county. There can be
but two causes for its sale in this coun
ty; the first is, for the money there is
in it; and the second is, the subordina
tion of principle, law and self-respect
to the gratification of a perverted ap
petite. The party to the first cause will
sell more liquor under the shadow of
law than the bar-room did under the
retail doggery license. And this is
done in three places in the prohibition
county of Coweta. We do not mean
to affirm that there is more drunken
ness now than formerly; but that a bar
room in Newnan, Sharpsburg, or any
other place, sold less liquor under the
old law—any three of them—than is
now sold by the three druggists in the
county. Now, our remedy for this evil,
this curse, is to amend the present law
by wiping out every feature of the Act
granting any one the privilege of sell
ing liquor under any circumstances,
and make our county what its good
people desire and what it ought to be
—a prohibition county.
Mr. J. H. Nolan, of our town, has
made arrangements to go into business
at Knoxville, Ga. He will move there
with his family in a few days. Success
to you. Jessie.
Mrs. Eliza Hitch, of Quitman, has
purchased the residence occupied by
Mr. -T. M. Briscoe, and will move here
about January 1st.
Mr. O. II. Rogers has purchased the
two old stores on the west side of Main
street, near the depot, and will convert
them into a temporary warehouse for
the weighing and storing of cotton. He
expects to erect a substantial brick
warehouse next summer.
Mr. -J. W. Johnson, near Parker’s
Mill, lias sold his farm to Mr. J. M.
Arnall, and has bought a farm near
! Mc-Minville, Tenn., and will move
there late in the fall or early winter.
We regret to lose Mr. Johnson,, for by
the combined energy and industry of
such aien much of the country's busi
ness is moved.
Mr. and Mrs. Bynes, of Leesburg,
Ga., have been visiting relatives and
friends in this and Meriwether coun

Mrs. B. M. Couch and family have

Hogansville.
Mr. T. O. Dunn is sick with typhoid
fever. We hope to hear of his conval
escence soon.
Mr. AY. A. Brannon went to Atlanta,
on business, this week.
Messrs. John D. Cole and S. S. White
came down on the evening train Mon
day, and, as there was no conveyance
to meet them, they “counted the cross-
ties” home. You see, they live at
Grantville, and since the last schedule
change the trains don’t stop at small
towns.
Dr. J. M. Couch reports his patients
convalescent. Mrs. John II. Hinds-
man, who has been very low with fever,
and Mr. L. P. Gordon’s little son, are
fast improving. Dr. Couch has met
with the best of success, so far, in re
lieving his patients and restoring them
to their wonted health.
Mr. Albert Martin has had the mis
fortune to lose his mill-dam again. The
heavy rain on Tuesday broke the dam
and washed away about 40 feet of it.
Little Grover Braswell, youngest
child of Mr. W. I). Braswell, died on
Tuesday, 4tli inst. Mrs. Braswell, the
mother, lias been laid to rest but a few
months, and now he is an angel with
her. The bereaved ones have our sym
pathy, but true resignation and conso
lation can only be had from Him who
giveth and taketh.
Mr. A. E. Hindsman and sister have
returned from a visit to relatives and
friends at Griffin.

Glenn and Lou Camp are visiting Miss
Jennie Arnall, of Senoia, this week.
Another “counter jumper” in town.
Mr. John B. Goodwyn, County Sur
veyor, was here Wednesday doing some
work for Messrs. Camp Bros.
Drs. Geo. E. Camp and J. M. Camp
are to be complimented on the way
they have worked the street. Lines were
drawn, and everything within them
came out, as it should have done. A
view to building side-walks was looked
to, and by taking the right steps we
can have a pretty little place with nice
-hade trees and good streets.
Dr. Camp is receiving his lumber to
build a warehouse.
The railroad is a little slow to begin
work on the depot, but we will have
one when we get it.
Messrs. Camp & Cureton’s hew build
ing is being pushed right along. The
continuous knock of the hammer puts
a progressive feeling in our town.
The young ladies of Puckett’s will
rive an entertainment on the evening
of the 21st inst., and propose to donate
the net receipts to the building com
mittee for the seats to go in the new
church. It is useless to publish theii
programme, even if I knew it, for I dare
say they will have something nice, and
no one need be disappointed who will
go. Let them have a good attendance;
for you will reward them for the efforts
made to entertain you and the amount
you pay for refreshments will go to a
good purpose. Remember the time,
Friday night, 21st inst.
Mrs. Sarah A. Moore and her sister,
Mrs. Thagans, from Salt Springs, are
visiting relatives here. They will re
main some time, and will be glad to see
their friends. Zubetus.

Turin.
Mr. Editor:—As previously announc
ed, the dedication services took place
at the Presbyterian church last
Sunday in the presence of a fair au
dience. The rain prevented many
from attending who desired to do so.
The sermon was appropriate and well
received by those who heard it. - Dr.
DuBose is a logical and forcible speak
er, riveting close attention by his sim
plicity of address. Truth should al
ways be spoken with clearness and in
language adapted to the capacity of the
humblest listener. Sky-scaling does not
form any part of the simple teaching of
the Bible. Neither is ribaldry couched
within the sacred lids. Thank God,
there are still those who are not given
to these extremes of folly. Give ns
the “Old, old story” in its child-like
simplicity.
Dr. Stacy is holding protracted ser
vices this week, aided by Dr. DuBo«e,
after which the Lord’s Supper will be
administered to the communicants un
der the Doctor’s charge.
Maj. John B. Williams, of the Sixth
district, paid your reporter a visit, and
delighted us with a recital of incidents
of the late war as witnessed and expe
rienced by himself. During that never-
to-be-forgotten time, Mr. Williams
made a gallant soldier, and came out
or the same maimed for life. Now, if
the voters of the county would confer
upon him the office of Treasurer of the
county he would ever be grateful for
the favor.
Prof. Albert Thurman and his good
lady arrived in Turin a few days since.
Also, Rev. Mr. Fox with his better
half.
Mrs. McRitcliie, of Newnan, is on a
visit to Dr. Gay.
Col. Ingram has a number of visitors
from LaGrange, and no one knows bet
ter how to make kinsfolk pleasant and
happy than the Colonel and his good
lady.
Dr. Lester assumes the title of “pa”
this week, by the arrival of a little lady
at his house.
' Road working has been the order of
the day for some time, and it may be
that Coweta is the banner county in
that line of public work.
Some two hundred and fifty dollars
worth of brick were destroyed by the
late rains on the different yards in this
vicinity.
It is reported that certain parties who
are engaged in ginning for the public
propose to gin and bale cotton for two
dollars per bale. Now, if. this can be
done without loss to the ginner, there
exists no longer any cause for complaint
against the advanced price of bagging.
Mr. William Harwell has returned
from a protracted visit.
The weather is simply delightful.
Miss Alice Robertson, of Atlanta,
has returned to the Gate City.
Dr. McKay, of Griffin, has arrived
and is preaching some line sermons,
which are adding much to the interest
and success of the meeting.
Sept. 12th. R. A. T.
Panther Creek.
Mr. Editor:—I am mighty glad to see
the sunshine, for everything was mil
dewed and rained out. Sunshine makes
children grow as well as vegetation,
and is as essential foi children as for
collards.
Our bridges have all been replaced
and the traveling public have resumed
their accustomed routes.
Cotton has been sprouting in the bolls
and all early cotton is damaged more
or less. Many farmers lost their fodder
by its drying or rotting on the stalk.
Turnips and potatoes are booming.
The meeting at Macedonia was rain
ed cut hist Sunday. Dr. Barrett, al
though suffering from rheumatism, was
at his post. He is one of the most
faithful ministers of Christ. He goes
through heat and cold to labor for his
Master, and to warn sinners to flee the
wrath to come.
I will answer your correspondent*
“Farmer,” at some time in the near
future. I am very busy now trying to
save my fodder.
I attended our Superior Court a few
days last week and listened to some in
teresting speeches from Cols. Burch,
Turner, Jhompson, A. D. Freeman,
P. F. Smith, Judge Bigby and others.
The Newnan bar is hard to beat, and
what they don’t know about law ain’t
worth knowing. Whilst Court I got
something good to eat at Judge Tur
ner’s and Col. Haisten Herring’s. At
Jim Reid’s restaurant a fellow can al
ways get something good to eat for the
money.
I have accepted.an invitation to at
tend the reunion of the Richards fami
ly at County Line on the fourth Friday
in this month. Prof. J. B. Allen lias
been invited to address the crowd 011
that occasion.
It is another sweet little miss at Mr.
J. W. Pitts’.
J. P. Reese will close his music school
at Jones’ Chapel on the fourth Sunday
in this month, commencing Friday be
fore. Everbody invited to come and
bring well-filled baskets.
Mr. James Williamson has sold his
farm at Powell Station to Mr. Willie
Herring at $8 50 per acre.
Our schools are closing out.
We got out of meat at our house lust
Friday and things began to look squal
ly; but “Rock,” our faithful protector,
treed a sapling shote, and the young
“Ripples” went out.and brought him
in. He’ was fat and juicy, and we all
got our appetites greased once more.
Meat has got so awful high poor folk*
can’t afford to buy it.
Sorghum is getting ripe and the peo
ple will soon have something to sop
and -mack, and then we’ll have a glori
ous time. Quite a difference in the
way people have to live in this world.
Some get all the good things to eat, and
some all the bad; yet we all live until
we die, and thatistfie end of all our
eating. Ripples.

Palmetto.
Mr. Editor:—Mr. T. P. Arnold, of
Coweta, and Miss Cora Ballard, daugh
ter of lion. Levi Ballard, of this place,
were married Wednesday afternoon,
12th inst., at the residence of the
bride’s father, Rev. R. C. Rhodes of
ficiating. The happy couple left for
Atlanta on the 5 o’clock train. Their
many friends wish for them a long,
happy, and prosperous life.
