Cavender, of the Fourth district, was stricken with paralysis last Monday night and is said to be in a crit ical condition. The many friends of this estimable gentleman will’be griev ed to hear of his sudden and severe af fliction, and will unite with us in wish ing for his speedy recovery. The citizens of Hogansville are mak ing efforts to establish a bank in that town, and the indications are altogeth er favorable to the success of the scheme.

Coroner Duncan received a telegram from Senoia yesterday afternoon noti- fving him to go down at once and hold an inquest, though no particulars were given. He went down on the early train this morning. An unexpected influx of advertising at the eleventh hour has encroached so heavily upon our space this week that a number of communications sent in for publication will have to be deferred until our next issue. Newnan will be represented at the Western Baptist Association by Dr. J. Hall, R. D. Cole, Sr., A. B. Cates, A. D. Freeman, J. C. Gibson and U. B. Wilkinson. The alternates are T. G. Farmer and Wm. Wells. Mr. J. M. Houston, of the Third dis trict, exhibited a curiosity last week in the shape of twin ears of corn. Unlike most freaks of this character the' ears are not grown together, though both are enclosed in the same shuck. The work of rebuilding Pearl Spring Park dam is progressing rapidly and satisfactorily and will be finished by the latter part of next week. As soon as a full head of water is obtained the pond will be restocked with fish. Capt. and Mrs. W. S. Gorman have just returned from a pleasure trip to Canada and through the cities of New England. They are now at West Point, and the Captain is again in charge of the “Goober,” as genial as of yore. Mr. H. W. Dews returned last Satur day from Southwest Georgia, where he has been engaged for several weeks buying cotton. Having cleaned out the markets down there, he will spend the remainder of the season in New nan. Messrs. A. C. Willcoxon, A. M. Ilarts- field and W. L. Stallings left this week for Athens, where they will resume their studies in the State 1 niversity. The fall term of this institution opened on Wednesday last, which is about one month earlier than usual.

Our magnificent stocks of fall and winter boots, shoes, hats and furnish ing goods, are arriving daily at Sneads.’ Though far from well yet, we are glad to know that Mrs. 1\. M. Barnes is slowly recovering from her recent at tack of fever. The Merchants and Planters Bank of Carrollton was organized last Saturday with the following officers: E. G. Kra mer, president; L. C.

The examination of applicants for admission to the State Technological School, which took place before School Commissioner Walker last week, result ed in the appointment of Mr. Cliff Tur ner. He passed a very' creditable ex amination, and will take an equally creditable stand in his classes, we feel assured. Mr. Columbus Jacobs boasts an ances try who are certainly remarkable for their longevity. His father, Daniel Jacobs, is now 80 years of age; his aunt, Mrs. Catherine Taylor, (now a resident of Alabama,) is 82; another aunt, Mrs. Isabella Hollinshead, of Arkansas, is 84. Their'combined ages aggregate nearly a quarter of a century. Mr. J. W. Martin has made a busi ness engagement with Messrs. L. P. Thomas & Co., of Atlanta, and left for that city on Monday last to assume the duties of his new position. Mr. Martin is one of our most popular and capable young men, and will be equally popu lar in his new home when he becomes as well known as he is here. If you have any sympathy for the yellow fever sufferers, be sure to attend the concert at Reese’s Opera House next Tuesday night. Every dollar re alized from the entertainment will be forwarded to Jacksonville, where it will be expended in relieving the wants of tlie sufferers from tlie dread scourge now prevalent in that unfortunate city. Owing to the fact that the Western Baptist Association meets on the 3d prox., and as a number of prominent Alliancemen are delegates, President Whatley has ordered the postponement of the regular quarterly meeting of the County Alliance from the 3d to the 10th of October. A full attendance of the warehouse committee is requested on that date, also. See notice. The Western Baptist Association will convene at Union church, Harris coun ty, October 3d. There are fourteen churches in Coweta county, the average representation in the Association being about three delegates for each church. The meeting of the Association occurs on election day, and as a consequence the Democratic vote in this county will fall short of the usual majority by about forty votes. Rev. S. B. Cousins’ appointment at Bethlehem church,in the Third district, is the first Sunday in each month. He was prevented from filling his last reg ular appointment by the disagreeable weather which prevailed on the 1st and 2d inst., but will preach there on the fifth Sunday and Saturday before, (29th and 30tli.) He is an eloquent and popu lar divine, and will be greeted by a large congregation. The Montgomery Advertiser is au thority for the rumor that the Central railroad contemplates an early qxten- for the event, and those who attend will be amply compensated for the small expense incurred in reaching the grounds. It will cost little or nothing to “see the sights” after you get there. The object of the entertainment is to assist in raising a fund with which to purchase seats for the new Methodist church, and it is one that merits a lib eral patronage. Rev. E. B. Barrett has resigned the pastorate of the Baptist church at Car rollton. Noticing his resignation, the Free Press says: “Mr. Barrett is an able and consecrated minister of the gospel and has many friends and admi rers in this community outside of his own denomination. He has filled the pulpit of the Baptist church here for a number of years, serving his congrega tion faithfully. Wherever his work may be in the future, he will have the prayers and well wishes of the good people of this town.” In response to an inquiry concerning (the practicability of substituting duck for jute bagging, Mr. L. Lanier, one of the proprietors of the West Point Cot ton Mills, writes Maj. U. B. Wilkinson as follows: “We are making 40 and 42 inch duck of proper strength for bag ging, and selling it to Alliances and farmers here. Have made some sales from hqme, and had half a dozen in quiries for it by last mail, (18th inst.) It is the coming bagging. Our farmers are mad and will not buy jute.” Mr. La nier does not give the weight or price of duck, but it is considerably heavier than osnaburg, and almost as cheap. Fourth District. Mr. Editor:—The school in this dis trict has been taught the present year by Prof. James H. Hall, of Newnan, and a graduate of Mercer. The school was closed on last Friday night by an exhibition. The weather being very unfavorable, I did not attend, but learn that the exercises were quite creditable to Prof. Hall and his pupils. Tlie com munity around Elim were fortunate in securing the services of Prof. Hall this year, and it is to be hoped that he can The river has been higher from the rains on Friday, Saturday and Sun day night than at any other time this summer or fall. It was about a foot higher than two weeks ago. Of course, the rise was attended with increased damage to the crops. Yidette. Sept. 18th. Communicated. A Card. Some of my friends having called my i attention to a false construction being j put on my card in your last week’s pa- j per, in regard to the sale of liquor in the county, I desire to state that I am opposed to saloons being established except in incorporated towns, J.

Newnan never fails to respond when the cry of of distress is heard, or when an appeal for relief is made. Our sis ter State, Florida, is terribly .scourged with yellow fever, and Newnan is called on to contribute for the relief of the sufferers. On Tuesday night next, (24th inst.,) Mechanics’ Brass Band will give a grand concert for the benefit of the fever sufferers. The band will be assisted by Professor Chas. Astin. Mr. John F. Hendrix, and the best local talent in the city. This will be decid edly the most enjoyable concert ever given in Newnan. Mr. Hendrix will sing one song which aione will be worth the price of admission, and there will be numerous other features of en joyment. All neighboring towns have contributed more or less for this object, and Newnan cannot afford to be exceeded in generosity by any of them. The entire proceeds will be donated, and we hope and believe that standing room in Reese’s Opera House next Tuesday night will be 4 at a pre mium. - . Turin. Mr. EditorOut section has again been visited by excessive rains. The streams on Sunday last were greatly swollen. The mill-dam at Mr. Joe Wynn’s broke on Sunday, sweeping off a portion of the bridge near by. The dam at Dr. Casper Smith’s broke, also, carrying everything before it. The wa ter in Mr. Hardy’s mill-house measured ten inches deep, and he says that he never saw the stream so full before. Parties from White Oak report that stream fuller than ever known before, and that four of the county bridges' on the same have been washed away. To some extent we may account for these overflows by the fact that the channels of the streams are well-nigh filled up, so that the-water is forced to overflow and spread beyond the con fines of the banks. But few ditches on the swamps are kept open as in the years agone; hence, the destruction of so much of the crops on low lands. Many do not understand why it is that cotton sheds worse or more now than formerly. The cause, mainly, is found in the maturity of an early crop of bolls and the hardening of the weed. So soon as the stalk begins to harden, support is cut off from the tender fruit, which causes it to throw off much more than dry or wet spells do. The same applies to pea and bean vines; the ear ly ripening of either tends to shedding, and a failure to bear fruit. It is not denied that extremely dry or wet where the business would be under strict po lice regulations, and sold then only by . the quart. We are fighting the monop- j will b e prepaid—provided this oly of the trade and the permit system, 1 1 1 mainly. The latter teaches men to put a light value on their oaths, while the former prevents men from competing in a business legalized by the State and national governments. To the various forms of crime fostered by this unwise method of dealing with the evils of in tern iterance, perjury must be added. It is a fait, however singular and deplor able it may seem, that many citizens of j respectable standing do not now hesi- j tate to perjure themselves when sum-! moned before the grand jury as wit- j nesses in liquor cases.

Those who raised cotton previous to the introduction of guano, ka to Roanoke, it is not unlikely that the S., G. and N. A. will eventually take this direction. I. P.

It is reported, though we have not been able to learn anything definite about it, that there will soon be a change of schedule on -the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama railroad, by which connection will be made with the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus road. Unless there a a change on the latter road, it is quite likely that the former will leave here in the evening when the change is made.—Carrollton Free Press. made of the shedding of forms, but that the gradual growth of tlie plant! was such that stalks were so fruited that they often lay flat upon the j ground with many long branches laden with bolls.
