Notice to My Customers. Well Deserved Success. We learn from a trustworthy source that Mrs. Marie Wright, formerly of this city but for some time past a resi dent of Washington City, has been en gaged as staff correspondent by the | New York World. »•. a salary of $4,000 per annum. Witli the exception of ! Mrs. Alary E. Bryan, this is perhaps the largest salary paid to any Southern lady by the New York publishers, fur nishing ample evidence of the literary attainments and business qualifications of the gifted lady. Mrs. Wriglit was for several years connected with the Sunny South, and enjoyed to a flattering degree the confidence ami esteem of the proprietors of that paper, as well as of the public. She lias had trials and sor rows that would have crushed the spir it of almost any other woman, but by her indomitable will, energy and tal ents she has overcome them all, and we hope will now enjoy her good fortune. Xewnan is easily holding her own as the best cotton market in Western' Georgia. Atlanta prices have been paid ever since the season opened, and upon several occasions our buyers have paid from one-eighth to one-fourth of a cent more than was offered in Atlanta on corresponding dates, as shown by the published quotations in the Atlanta papers. Xewnan is a line town. Mr. C. H. Killian, so long the effi cient railroad agent at Palmetto, lias resigned his position and gone into the warehouse and cotton seed business. He is enthusiastic over the idea of a first-class ginnery, capable of turning out from eighty to one hundred bales of cotton per day, and if lie meets with sufficient encouragement will start one. Nothing would better promote the in terests of his town. The City Court has been in session all the week, and has dispatched more business already than was disposed of at the last term of our Superior Court. The civil docket was taken up this morning. The following visiting attor neys have been in attendance: F. S. Loftin and T. B. Davis, of Franklin; J. F. Goliglitly, of Fairburn; J. W. Shell, ofSenoia; G. A. Carter, of Grantville; W. C. Kinuard, of Hogansville. Ab Burch lias leased the basement in the Opera House building and opened a first-class restaurant. He proposes to keep hi* tables supplied with the best that the market affords, including fish, oysters, game, etc., and respectfully so licits the patronage of his friends. The cooking will be done under the immedi ate supervision of Ab and his wife, whose reputation as culinary artists is too well established to require any word of commendation from us, though we are ready to testify if called upon. If our correspou dents would be more careful in writing the names of persons mentioned In their communications the printer would not be chargeable with so many mistakes. With an infinite vari ety of names, and no recognized rule for spelling any of them, it is not sur prising that printers should frequently make blunders in deciphering them. In writing proper names, especially if de signed for publication, the letters should Death of Mr. John Manley. It is with a deep sense of sorrow and sadness that we chronicle this week the death of one of our most estimable and useful citizens, Air. John Alanley, which occurred yesterday morning at his iiome in this city, after a lingering ill ness. lie had been a severe sufferer for several weeks preceding the sad event chronicled above, and while his condition was frequently critical, his family and friends did not lose hope of his ultimate recovery until about a week ago. At this juncture his illness devel oped serious “complications, however, and while he had the best and most skillful medical treatment that could be obtained, it was apparent that he could not long survive. Under these discouraging conditions his death was not altogether unexpected, yet the event produced a sensation of profound sorrow when it was finally announced, and will be received with universal re gret wherever he was known. Xo man stood higher in the community, or en joyed to a larger degree the confidence and respect of his fellow-men. His un timely taking off involves a loss that can only be appreciated by those who knew him best, while the city mourns a useful enterprising, public-spirited citi zen, whose place will be difficult to fill. He leaves a wife and two children, who have our sincere condolence in their sad affliction. The funeral took place this morning from the Baptist church, of which he was a staunch and consistent member. The services were conducted by Dr. Hall, after which the remains were cur ried to the city cemetery for interment. This is rendered necessary by the re cent change in my business, by which Mr. A. B. Hill acquired a partnership interest. I trust my friends and cus tomers will appreciate the necessity and importance of making immediate settlement, in order that I may close up the old books. J. B.
