FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
Senoia.
Mr. Editor:—Statements have been
made at some shipping points of the
falling off in cotton receipts, the reason
assigned being the high price of j'ute
bagging, brought about by the bagging
trust, and the stand taken against it by
the Farmers’ Alliance. There is quite ' a
The merchants are busy and cheerful.
Mrs. J. D. Moreland and Master
Robert Jones are at home again, after
a three weeks’ sojourn at the North.
Rev. J. R. Parker is away this week
on a visit to his father in Hart county.
Mr. Stiles Bradley, pf Gridin, is on a
visit to his numerous friends here.

compared with the same period in 1SS7.
Up to September 26th, 1887, there had
been shipped 650 bales. For the same
time this month only 200 bales have
been shipped; but we attribute the
falling off largely to natural causes.
The rains have been almost unprece
dented, both as regards frequency and
quantity, which has retarded the open
ing of the crop as well as the picking,
and much that has been gathered is in
a damaged condition. None of the Al
liance farmers in our section, so far as
we know, are holding their cotton back
on account of the high price of bagging
and ties, though there may be some.
Still, if there be those who are pursu
ing this course, we think'it bad policy.
At the present price of cotton the bag
ging and ties would about pay for them
selves; and to hold cotton, in the seed
or in bales, there will be a certain loss
by shrinkage in weight, (and possibly
in price,) and the sequel might prove a
greater loss than the difference m the
price of gagging. Besides, if the cot-

be the guest of Mrs. J. F. Lovejoy this
week.
Mrs. Sadler is on a visit to friends
and relatives at Chattanooga.

Mr. Editor;—Miss Kate Craig, from
Hogansville, visited Miss Pauline Me-
Iver this week, but was taken sick and
returned to her home Monday evening.
We hope her attack will not result se-
rioesly and that she will come again.
J. P. Camp relates the following :
“While on the way to see ‘my folks’ last
Sunday 1 passed by a mud hole in the
road, and a frog jumped into my lap,
while sitting in my buggy, and then
jumped to the ground.”

ditional ties are used—that is, eight or
nine to the bale—the exporter or man
ufacturer might raise serious objection
to handling it, judging from a report
recently published by the New York
Cotton Exchange. While we believe
the bagging trust, and all other trusts,
outrageous and should not be tolerate* 1,
yet we would submit to it for the pres
ent, hoping and believing that an ef
fectual remedy may be found and ap
plied in the near future.
Quite an excitement was produced
among the negro population in our vi
cinity last week. The wife of Henry
Malone, colored, died during the night
very suddenly, creating suspicions of
foul play. The coroner was summoHed,
an inquest held, and a post mortem ex
amination had, but no evidence was
found that she died from other than
natural causes.
According to announcement “Betsy
Hamilton” filled her engagement here
last Friday night. Her backwoods re
hearsals were well rendered and much
appreciated by the large audience in
attendance.
The addition of a first-class passen-
train on the Savannah, Griffin and
North Alabama railroad meets with
general favor. The schedule just suits
our people, who can go to Newnan,
transact their business and return the
same day. If they desire they can
make the round trip to Atlanta.
Mr. Manning, the engineer of the
Senoia Ginnery, while doing some work
about his engine with a monkey-
wrench, allowed it to slip out of his
hand. It lodged in some way on the
fly-wheel, which, in its rapid revolu
tions, carried the tool over and struck
him on top of the head, inflicting a
very painful wound. He was laid up
for a few days, but we are glad to see
him out again.
Mr. S. J. Rauuer, of St. Petersburg,
member of the imperial household of
Russia, is on a prospecting tour in this

thing over 830.00. Quite a large crowd
came down from Newnan, and a few
from Turin. Rev. J. R. Parker and
wife, from Grantville, were present.
Am sorry that I cannot give ti e names

Tickets are on sale for the silk quilt
held by the Ladies’ Church and Aid
Society. They propose to have a gath
ering at some future time and count
the tickets that have been sold, and the
person holding the largest number ot
tickets at the time they quit selling will
get the quilt. We expect a lively time
when it is soid.
Another enterprise for Puckett’s.
The Southern Cotton Seed Oil Com
pany, of Atlanta, is going to build a
house here and pay factory prices for
