There was no opposition to his candidacy. our merchants Never before have labored so hard to please the people with good goods at low prices, and as a consequence Newnan is ably sustain ing her reputation as the best market in Western Georgia. The Newnan buggy Company finish ed an elegant six-passenger carriage this week for Hon. J. P. Jones. It is one of the handsomest vehicles this es tablishment has yet turned out and has been much admired. On the 13th iust., at the residence of Mr. George Powell, Powelville, Ga., Rev. W. F. S.

The new shapes in hats are superb. She will be able to offer the greatest bargains in her line this season. She will have her “Grand Opening” about the 10th of October. In giving the ages of Mr. Columbus Ja cobs’ venerable ancestors last week we made an error that must have appeared ridiculous to those who noticed it. In computing the period of longevity re ferred to we said “their combined ages would aggregate nearly a quarter of a century,” when we meant to say “nearly two and a half centuries.” To be exact, the ages of his three relatives foot up the remarkable total of two hundred and forty-six years. to li cents Cotton is worth from 1 more than was obtained for it this time last year. The fair prices now ruling, however, maybe attributed to the back wardness of the season and a corres ponding diminution of the stock on hand as compared with the same date last year. It is not likely that the pres ent prices will be maintained, and, though the farmer who markets his crop early will be more apt to catch the worm than those who hold their cotton for a “rise.” Mercy is so good a servant that it will never allow its master to die a beggar. The virtues that lie in Warner’s Log Cabin Plasters are as beneficent and lasting as the qualities of mercy. Best and cheapest poroused plaster in the market.

Cates, of the Second district, have a buckeye tree in their vicinity which is said to bear two distinct varieties of buckeyes. They are in active demand among the cotton buyers, and boys about town generally. of Something over 15,000 pounds grapes have been shipped from Senoia this season. The shippers expected to realize handsome profits, but up to last accounts they 7 had heard nothing from their shipments nor received anymon- ey.—Senoia Sentinel. Cotton has been coming in with a rush this week. Fully six hundred bales have been received and weighed at our warehouses since Monday. Prices rul ing have been 8c. for stains and 9}c. for middling, while the demand for all grades has been active. The trustees of Ilogansville High School have secured the services of Prof. II. W. Wooding, of Suwanee, as teacher for the ensuing year. He is a brother of Mr. Nat Wooding, the genial and popular drummer, and comes highly recommended. About 3 o’clock this morning Ann Malone, wife of Henry Malone, died suddenly. She had picked cotton the day before until near sundown and was in good health, but complained of a slight headache. The darkies suspect ed that she had been poisoned by her husband. Cor®ner M. F. Duncan was notified and a jury impanneledto learn the cause of her sudden death. After examining several witnesses the jury thought it proper that a post mortem examination should be held. As noth ing definite could be obtained as to the cause of her death, the jury gave then- verdict that Ann Malone came to her death from some cause unknown to them.—Senoia Sentinel, 21 st inst. Mr. W. R. Smith, Jr., who lias been connected with The Herald and Advertiser establishment since Jan uary, has acquired a half interest in the Carrollton Free Press and will be iden tified with that paper hereafter as as sociate editor and publisher. Mr. Smith is a most worthy gentleman, whose capabilities for newspaper work are recognized and appreciated wher ever he is known, and it is with no lit tle regret that we give him up. The Free Press is already one of the best country weeklies in the State, and under Mr. Smith’s management we have no hesitancy in saying that it will be great ly improved in every way. He leaves next Sunday for Carrollton, whither the best wishes of his Newnan friends will follow him. train is made up by both the Central and Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus roads—the former furnishing the en gine and crew and the latter the coach es. It is in charge of Capt. 3?. C. Mc Lendon, one of the cleverest conduct ors and most experienced railroad men in the State, who will soon pop ularize himself with our people, we feel assured, as he has long since done with the traveling public. Mr. Lewis Tissereau, who has been on this line for some time, yanks the throt tle as of yore. The train makes daily trips between Griffin and Carrollton, connecting at the latter place with the Chattanooga,Rome andColumbus road, and at Griffin with the Central and Georgia Midland roads. This is the only first-class passenger train we have ever had between Griffin and Carrollton, and there is no question but that it will be liberally patronized all along the line. The Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus makes close con nection at Chattanooga with the Cin cinnati Southern and Louisville and Nashville roads, and in addition to oth er through business (both freight and passeng< t) wil 1 secure a good proportion of the Florida travel when the season opens. THE CONCERT. A Large Enj oyable Crowd and an Performance. Whatever else may be said of New nan, no one can charge her with a lack of generosity or sympathy in seasons of distress. No city of equal popula tion or wealth has been more ready to respond to the call of the sick and suf fering, whether at home or abroad, and no city has been more generous in her responses. It was not surprising, therefore, that the concert given for the benefit of the yellow fever sufferers at Reese’s Opera House last Tuesday evening should have been so numer ously attended, or that the spirit and enthusiasm of the performers could have been so effectively enlisted in any ordinary cause. The audience was one of the largest, most refined and appre ciative that has ever assembled in Newnan on any occasion, and we are equally sure that a finer amateur en tertainment was never enjoyed any where. Although the participants had less than a week in which to prepare for the concert, they performed their parts with an ease and grace that would have been creditable to a trained com pany, each rendition being received by the audience with renewed manifesta tions of delight. The exercises opened with prayer by Dr. Stacy, who dwelt with pathetic elo quence upon the distress and sufferings of the plague-stricken city, and com mended the benevolence of the ob- Miss Laura Daniel was never more captivating than in her rendition of the comic song, “Ah Sid,” and the audi ence would not be satisfied until she favored them with the popular ballad, “Dreams.” Though of wholly a differ ent character from the first, it was none the less enjoyable. The finishing piece on the programme was an instrumental selection from the opera “Dinorah,” which was rendered by Prof. Astin, and the audience paid tribute to his genius by such generous applause as genius only can evoke. Just before the close of the enter tainment, Rev. W. R. Foote ascended the stage and made an appeal for do nations from the audience. His tender mood, no less than his felicitous talk, had the desired effect, and a snug sum was contributed. The total pro ceeds amounted to about $115, which will be forwarded at once to the Jack sonville sufferers. The entertainment was given under the auspices of Mechanics’ Brass Band, whose members contributed in many ways to the success of the concert, both musically and financially. The stage management was under the personal supervision of Mr. Y. C. Thompson, who enjoys the unwonted distinction of never having made a failure in the musical line* and it is but fair to say that to his individual efforts, in plan ning, arranging and assisting, is due the complete success of the affair.

A num ber of bales were sold at this figure on different days, which shows that the new crop is improving in quality. Un til this week the grades offered have fallen below the standard by several points. . s The cotton season is fully three weeks later than usual, though it is beginning to liven up now. Sev eral hundred bales have been marketed here this week, but owing to the late rains and other damaging causes the quality of the staple is several grades below middling. swap Newnan for the whole State of Alabama. Mr. TV. S. Orr, of Birmingham, Ala., passed through the city Wednesday on his way to Heard’county, where he will spend some time visiting his father and 'other relatives. The representative of a leading gro cery house in Macon makes regular visits to our town, and sells goods right along in competition with the Atlanta drummers. How is this? Dr. A. G. North, of McDonough, was in the city Tuesday and paid his respects at The Herald an* Advertiser of fice. The only objection to Dr. North’s visits is their exceeding brevity. If he hopes to retain the affections of his Newnan friends he must come of tell er and stay longer. Newntfn Buggy Company an order for a hearse, to be constructed of the best material obtainable and finished up in the company’s best style. It was com pleted last week, anda more elegant or artistic piece of work has never been seen in Newnan, if in the State. The mountings are of silver, and all the decorations, both inside and out, are of the latest and most handsome design. It was seen last week by Mr. Fred Smith, the Southern traveling agent of a leading gy establishment, who prononneed it the finest piece of work he had ever seen built south of the Ohio river. AY e understand there is but one other man ufacturing concern in the State that at tempts this class of work, and it does not try to make anything finer than village hearses. The cost of the hearse ordered by Dallis & Carey is about $1,200, aud is cheap at that figure. The overture consisted of an instru mental solo by Prof. Chas. Astin, who played with a spirit and skill that elici ted tli£ warmest applause. „ “The Backwoods Wedding,” a reci tation by Miss Lillian Dent, brought down the house.

Astin and Mr. John F. Hendrix, was one of the musical gems of the evening, and re ceived its full meed of appreciation and applause.
