Mrs. Sadler Is spending a few days in
Atlanta on her return from Chattanoo

The friends of Mr. Morgan Hopson
will tind him at the store of Banks &
Arnold, where he will he pleased to
wait on them in his usual affable man

The people of our town are getting
anxious to know where our Thanks
giving turkeys are to come from. Can
not some of our frieads in the country
furnish our market with a few?
Little Miss Lovejoy, who has recent
ly made her debut at the home of Mr.
J. F. Lovejov, is rather corpulent Sir a
young lady of her age.
Rev.. Dr. White has been confined to
the house for a few days with erysipe
las, bat we are glad to know that he is
able to be on the street again.
Mr. J. B. Cotton writes “J. P.” after
his name now. Some of his friends are
anxious to witness his first effort at ty
ing the hymeneal knot.
A little boy, after hearing his mother
and grandmother discussing flie merits
of the langshang chickens, said, “O,

Mr. John Hendrix attended church
here on last Sunday and remained a
few days visiting friends.
We think the public will be highly

THE NEWNAN
CARRIAGE AND BUGGY WORKS.
We are now prepared to do all kinds of Carriage.
Buggy and Wagtrn work, and in a style that cannot be
excelled in the State, or anywhere else. Our work
men are skillful and efficient; our material the best
that money will buy; our equipment thorough and
complete in every department. In fact, we have spar
ed neither pains nor expense in preparing for the bus
iness, and our facilities for doing work in this line are
first-class in every respect.
We have on hand the finest lot of material ever put into buggy or carriage work in this
section of the State, and workmen that know exactly how to put it together. We do noi
get our vehicles "knocked down,” from the North, as many other manufacturing firms do, bui
make them out and cat. This is our strongest recommendation. We manufacture—
CARRIAGES. iPHAETONS,-
LANDEAUS, HEARSES.
ROAD-CARTS. BUGGIES,
SULKEYS, WAGONS ETC.
We are also prepared to do all kinds of carriage, buggy and wagon repair work, in the
best style and at the lowest prices. Plantation work and horse-shoeing a specialty.
Give us your work ; we guarantee satisfaction.
J. S. WARE, (late with Summers & Murphy, Barnesville,) Superintendent
Puckett’s.
Mr. Editor:—-Some thievish rascal
entered the dwelling of our friend, S.
V. Carpenter, last Saturday morning,
broke open his trunk and stole a gold
watch, chain and ring; also, a Smith &
Wesson 38-calibre pistol. He entered
by corning up through the floor. Such
rogues as this we don’t need, and sin
cerely hope he will be caught and put
where he will have constant employ
ment. He was looking foR money, but
fortunately it was where he didn’t find
it.
Mr. W. H. Dodds has a new horse,
and he’s a "dandy.”
From the looks of a fruit tree in Mr.
H. W. Camp’s orchard, one would think
“’twas gentle spring time.”
Airs. Lizzie Dodds and Airs. Becky
Alartin have returned from a pleasant
visit to Turin.
Mr. Win. Vollenweider, while on his
way home from Dr. Camp’s store the
other evening, became frightened at a
fellow traveler and imagined lit was go
ing to kill him. The community was
notified of the fact by his cry for help,
when it was found to be a friend trying
to tell him all the while who he was.
The gentleman lives six miles from
here, and Mr. Vollenweider was so
proud to be thus agreeably disappoint
ed that he carried him to his home.
A lady visitor to our town, after look
ing through the ginnery and Camp &
Cureton’s establishment, was heard to
remark: “This looks more like the F.x-
position than anything I have seen.”
Alessrs. K. F. Brannon and R. J. and
W. G. Barnett visited Atlanta last
Monday. Mr. George Muse’s clothing
will be represented in our town. Eh ? .....
Another one of those abominable er-1
rors last week. Air. Henry A. Alartin, ;
instead of Northern, attended the Asso- j
ciation in Harris county.
Little Orrie Alay. infant child of W.
A. Brannon, is quite sick.
From present prospects the cot-'
ton crop is going to be very short.
The carpenters who were at work on |
thd depot went home this week, on ac-1
count of being without lumber, but j
work will be resumed in a day or so.
The Alasons were rained out on Wed-1
world. Take Columbus as an example in
her manufacturing enterprises, and the
poor white people of the whole South
might find employment, and thus gain
a support.
To visit the home of youth ami wit
ness the many sad chan®* 1 produced by
the swift dying years briug to the mind
sad reflections. But few of the friends
of early days were met.for most of them
have long since gone to rheir final re
ward. On the return, trip Hamilton
was passed, by way of the narrow gauge
railroad from Columbus to Greenville.
The town of Hamilton does not seem
to keep pace with the times, as no new
buildings or other improvements were
noticed. Crossing the Fine mountain,
Chipley was soon reached, and here a
beautiful and growing town is seen,
with prospects of an encouraging char
acter, and of greater- proportions. A
pleasant night was spent with Col.
Searles and his most excellent family.
Indeed, they know how to make the
wayfarer feel at home. After a night’s
rest the Western Association was
reached, just in time to hear the conclu
sion of the introductory sermon, which
was preached by Rev. V. A. Ham, of
Sharpsburg.
The Association was well entertained
by the community in and around Union
church,where the session was held just
thirty-two years ago. But few of those
who then mettogether were present on
this occasion. Farmers gave a despon
dent account of crops in the sections
visited. Not more than two-thirds of a
cotton crop is counted on, and what to
do with debts is a question, with them,
of no ordinary moment.
HOME NOTES.
A. AL Dutton, of this community
died last week.
Miss F. Ragsdale, at this writing, is
prostrated with a severe nervous de-
rangement, caused by the extraction of
a tooth a few days since.
Air. I. M. Shell has sold hi* farm (200
acres to Mr. James Walker forjl$2,5(>0
cash. Mr. Shell is now off to Carroll
in quest of a new home.
We regret to report Mrs. Mary North
is quite feeble indeed. Her extreme
age and feebleness render the present
attack all the more discouraging.
Oct. Oth. K. A. T.
Panther Creek.
Mr. Editor:—News items are scarce
this week.
Air. and Mrs. E. (’. Fulmer's young
est child is quite sick.
Everybody is in such a hnrry trying
to get out their cotton before another
rain, that they hardly have time to pay
their morning devotions.
Meat and flour have gone up so that
we poor folks will have to do like they
do over the river do without.
There is a good sorghum crop in ThU
country.
A great many of our farmers have re
solved to sow wheat and winter oats.
They are determined to be independ
ent of speculators and trust combina
tions; yet they shouldn’t array them
selves against those who will meet them
on half way ground. Live and let live,
and do unto others as you would have
them do unto you. This is one of the
grandest countries under the sun, and
comes nearer producing everything for
the sustenance of mau and beast than
any other country, if man would oniy
avail himself of its many advantages.
four years of privation during the
late struggle between the States is .suf
ficient evidence to sustain the above
facts. Many of the. failures at farming
lie at th<- farmer’s own door—his fore-
right not being as good as his hind
sight. Y'et : t is none the less true that
they have been imposed upon by buy
ing on a credit.
“Rock” and the little “Ripples”
brought in another sapling shote, and
we got our appetites greased once more.
We are sorry to learn that Alford
estimated that there were between
twelve and fifteen liuudrcd people in
attendance..
Hon. J. D. Stewart, member of Con
gress, preached at 11 o’clock Sunday
morning, and his sermon wa* pronoun
ced one of the best ever delivered in
that church. Rev. (f. W. Colquitt, of
Palmetto,, preached a missionary ser
mon at the same hour in another build
ing on the grounds. We thought there
were more pretty girls at that meeting
than at any gathering wo had ever at
tended before—outside of Coweta coun
ty, of cmirse. Messrs. Frank Summer
lin, Welch King and Ed McElroy, of
Cedar Creek, were conspicuous in their
attentions to the young ladies, exciting
the jealousy and" envy uf the young
ruen-of Clayton.
We are pained to chronicle the death
of Mrs„ Bob Lively, of Campbell, near
the line of Fayette, which occurred last
Friday night. She leaves a husband
and several children to mourn herdeath.
It was thought that she died of typhoid
fever, which is very prevalent in that
connsy. The deceased was a member
of the Christian church at Harmony
Grove.
Miss Luella Wakefield, near Harmo
ny Grove, is very ill with fever, but
not. dangerously so. She has a groat
many relatives in this county.
Next Sunday there will be two mar
riages in this district, but as “there is
many a slip betwixt the cup and lip."
I will withhold names until mv next
letter. Thus it is that the “Solid
South” (in Cedar Creek district) contin
ues to grow in strength and increase in
force.
Our progressive young farmer. Air.
Roland Mixon, living near Palmetto,
went down to Newnan Wednesday and
was married to one of the fairest young
ladies of your city, Miss Lillie Belle
Andrews. They returned home after
the ceremony, and he, like a true man,
went to w»rk at once, and saved the
money which a great many spend on n
long bridal tour. He thus exhibits good
sense, and we hope their wedded life
may lie strewn with the choicest flow
ers.
