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 ties.. Mrs. Harrison, of Alanta, left for home this morning after spending sev eral days here with relatives and for mer friends. Mr>. F. I). Bloodworth and her sister, Mrs. C. A. Green, spent Sunday in Grif fin among friends there. Mrs. T. N. Yining visits Griffin ,to- nay. •Miss Nora Smith is on a visit to her sister. Mrs. Edge, at Thomaston. We regret to learn of the serious ill ness of Mrs. Nancy Freeman. “Betsy Hamilton” is to give an enter tainment at Excelsior Academy on the night of the 21st inst. Charley Watts is happy all over- cause, small feminine. Vixcext. Sept. 12th. Puckett’s. Mr. Editor:—Mr. John M. McClure went to Atlanta last week, on business. Mrs. B. M. Couch and family have returned from a visit to relatives, near 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. Miss Sallie Reynolds and Misses 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. Sept. 13th. 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. Sept. 11th. 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. B. F. Wager, of Wliitesburg, is build ing a house for J. M. IlOpkins^to re place the one destroyed by fire In May- last. It will be a substantial six-room dwelling. Mrs. E. Richardson has. gone to Gainesville to visit her granddaughter, Mrs. Aurora Hunt. Nemo. Sept. 13th. wrrtvinAniffwn-LriTino; 1 dues is^uau no 4““^
