Engines pulling the fast mail and ex
press trains on the Atlanta and AVest |
Point Railroad and AVestern Railway
of Alabama are provided with steam
bell ringers. The bell is connected
with the engine by a rod, and the en
gineer pulls a handle, which sets the
bell to ringing, and it does not stop un
til the lever is stopped. The attach
ment has been on these engines for
some time, and it is said, and doubtless
is true, that this is the only line in the
South using this novel contrivance.
The attachment is for the benefit of
engineers who run trains through and
across streets and cities,- and is put on
the engines on this line at a cost of $25
to each engine. The attachment is pat-
tented, and has been in use in this coun
try about three years.

LAYING THE CORNER-STONE
Of the New Public School Building.
The foundation walls of the new
public school building were completed
last week, and the Board of Education
decided to commemorate the event in
a manner befitting an occasion of so
much importance to the town and
community 7 —i. e., by laying the corner
stone. Notice of such an intention was
conveyed in proper form to the Mason
ic officials here, whereupon a special
dispensation was obtained from Grand
Master Davidson, allowing the frater
nity 7 to participate in the ceremonies and
render such assistance as the ancient
rules of the order permitted. Thursday
afternoon, 6th inst., was accordingly ap
pointed as the most appropriate time
for the ceremony 7 , and the large num
ber of people in attendance fully 7 attes-
ed the interest which the occasion had
evoked.
The order of the procession was as
follows:
1. Odd Fellows.
2. Masons.
3. Board of Education.
4. City Officials.
5. Citizens generally 7 .
The procession arrived at the grounds
about 3:30 p. si., when the exercises
were formally opened with prayer by
Dr. J. M. Ilaisten, after which the usual
ceremonies laid down in the Masoic
ritual were gone through with, being
conducted by—

The property on which this building
is now oeing erected was secured with
out cost to the then town of Newnan,
bv those same fathers, for educational
purposes. This same devotion to the
cause of education which manifested
itself so earlv in the noble hearts of our
fathers, thank God, was transmitted
to those who came after, and to
day we can assemble on the very spot
wliich first marked the progressive ca
reer of Newnan and lay the founda-
t on in what may be properly termed a
monument to past memories, as well as
a living, standing testimonial to the
wise and progressive spirit of the pres
ent. Following in the lootsteps of those
who so early manifested such a pro
found interest in the cause of educa
tion, then are we not justified in aiding
every 7 bright-eyed boy and fair-haired
girl, whether in poverty or in wealth,
in our midst, to obtain an education
and thus become more useful as citizens,
and sweeter as the guardian angels of
our hearts and hearthstones? Then the
magnificent building which is about to
be erected here can cast no shadows on
the years behind us. It will only 7 inten
sify the brilliancy of the past as it
shines on present endeavors, while it
will ever illumine the years ahead of
us. But our worthy sires realized that
they should do more than to merely en
courage the cause of education. They
saw that the two mighty pillars of
a people’s strength were Christianity
and education. While the one to them
was the Boaz in that temple, the other,
education, could be the Joachim. AA T ith
this in view, three separate lots were
donated to as many denominations of
Christians on which to build houses of
worship, that the religion of Christ
might with its benign influences make
our people one with glad hearts and
happy 7 homes. In this cause, as w r ell as
in that of education, under the smiles
of God, we trust that their children
have buried no talents. In place of
three rude structures which were first
erected under the bounteous hand of
providence, which we should gratefully
acknowledge, their children have rear
ed three temples to God which -would
be an honor to any city in all our broad

I have had nine children, I have never
had a doctor in the house, except three
times, when we had an epidemic of

by a vigorous use of BkaxdrethN

two or three a night for a month, for

first, but few people being in town ex
cept those having business in Court,
either as jurors, litigants, or witnesses.
Quite a. number of cases were disposed
of, but an equal number had to be con
tinued on account of the illness of Col.
AV. Y. Atkinson and the unavoidable
absence of Col. R. AV. Freeman, who
were interested as counsel in many of
the cases set for trial. The damage

year were set for a hearing yesterday
morning, but owing to the illness of

for this purpose, and Judge Harris so
ordered. The traverse jurors for this
