We are glad to know that Mr. O. C Cavender, who was stricken with paral ysis a few weeks since, is able to be out again. He was in town Tuesday, and his many friends were glad to see him so much improved. Hon. J. H. Pitman, candidate for the Solicitorship of the Coweta Circuit, has withdrawn from the contest. This leaves the fielu clear for lion. T. A. At kinson, and lie will probably be elected without opposition. On the first Tuesday in next month the well-known and valuable property known as the Wilkinson warehouse will be sold to the highest and best bidder. For terms and additional particulars see advertisement. At the primary election in Campbell county this week J. L. Camp was nom inated for Sheriff, J. J. Miles for^ Tax Receiver, andJ. L. Newborn for treas urer. All the other officers were nomi nated for re-election. Rev. W. R. Foote, on Wednesday last, received the following terse but signifi cant telegram from Ins brother, Mr. J. G. Foote, of Atlanta: “Twins.” It was accompanied by no explanation, and none was needed. The undersigned has a nice lot of two and tliree-year-old peach trees for sale, from choice fruit.

Fell, one of Newnan’s bust men and merchants, was in the city on Sunday, 28thult. Mr. Fell is an elder iu his church, and was a member of the presbytery appointed to ordain Mr. Nisbet.—Carroll Free Press. Mr. John D. Camp, while appreciat ing the kindness of Ills friends in sug gesting him for the office of County Commissioner, says it will be impossi ble for him to serye if elected, and au thorizes the withdrawal of his name. At a meeting of the board of trustees of Greenville Masonic Institute last Monday afternoon Prof. J. H. Feather- stone, of McDonough, was elected prin cipal for the ensuing year. The choice of the board was a good one.—Greenville Free Press. Mr. R. T. Carpenter, of the Third district, places us under obligations for the largest sweet potato that we have seen this season. It weighs eight pounds, $250, allowing purchaser the option of paying for same in three annual install ments. In other words, two-thirds of son. the cost of building may thus be saved in the price of the lot, and this is cer tainly an item worth considering. On Monday night last the members of Mechanics Band enjoyed a novel and elegant collation at Ab Burch’s restaurant in the shape of a goose sup per. Four large and stately carcasses graced the board, and these were gar nished with various accompaniments of an appetizing character, the whole be ing prepared and served in Ab’s best style. It was a royal feast, and feast was certainly never enjoyed by a more royal set of boys. We were there and know whereof we speak. No country weekly in the State will give the election news with the com pleteness that The Herald and Ad vertiser does this week. We have delayed going to press in order that the latest reliable advices may be obtained, and these are given with an accuracy and fullness that will more than compensate for the disappoint ment of our readers in missing the pa per at the usual hour to-day. The news is not so cheering as we had hoped to give, but it is the best we can do under the circumstances. The Legislature convened last Wed nesday and organized by electing the the following officers: F. G. DuBignon, of Chatham, President of the Senate; J. M. Dupree, of Macon, President pro tem\ W. A. Harris, of Worth, Secretary; L. J. Aired, of Pickens, Doorkeeper; J. D. McLeod, of Telfair, Messenger. In the House, A. S. Clay, of Cobb, was chosen Speaker; M. V. Calvin, of Richmond, Speaker pro tem.; M. A. Har din, of Fulton, Clerk; Moses Martin, of Gwinnett, Doorkeeper; J. R. Smith, of Coffee, Messenger. The petition of the minority stock holders of the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad, asking for the appointment of a temporary receiv er, has been granted by Judge Marshall J. Clarke; but as the case will be car ried to the Supreme Court, the nomi nation of a receiver will probably be deferred until the equities involved are passed upon by that tribunal. If the decree is sustained, a temporary receiv er will then be appointed and the case remanded to Spalding Superior Court for final adjudication. What does it all mean? We are becoming interested. Messrs. R. W- Freeman, Orlando Mc Clendon, H. C. Fisher, W. E. Avery, II. W. Camp. I. P. Bradley, E.

You can make no more desirable in vestment than by purchasing a residence lot at the Newnan Land Company’s sale next Tuesday. Even if you are not ready to commence building now, it will pay you to buy a lot and hold it, Six mbnths hence this property will be in demand at double its present value. Don’t forget the entertainment to be given by the Ladies’ Church and Aid Society at Puckett Station next Tues day night. The silk quilt drawing will be one of the attractions, and consider able interest is being manifested in the result already by the friends of the various contestants. The many friends of Mr. J. D. Camp, of the Third district, sympathize with him in hist present domestic affliction. His wife and four children are all pros trated with typhoid fever, though we sincerely trust they may be spared the fatal consequences that so frequently attend this much-dreaded disease. The Savannah, Griffin and North Ala bama Railroad will sell round trip tick ets for one fare to parties desiring to attend the Newnan Land Company’s sale next Tuesday. The sale of tickets at this rate is authorized at all points on the line. The Atlanta and West Point road is expected to give reduced rates also. Through a misunderstanding the name of Mr. W. W. Pearson was announced in The Herald and Advertiser last week as a candidate for Tax Re ceiver. This is a mistake, and one that we take pleasure in correcting. He is a candidate for the office of Tax Collect or, and his name should have been so announced. Mr. E. S. Buchanan has engaged the services of another first-class tailor, and is now prepared to turn out work in his merchant tailoring department prompt ly and expeditiously.

If you want a home and haven’t the means to purchase a building lot at the high prices demanded by private real | estate owners, attend the sale of the plaut Newnan Land Company next Tuesday. there are others who cherish similar schemes—will commence building at once, and will probably have their resi dences finished and ready for occupan cy by the early part of the coming year. These families would form a delightful colony, socially, wherever they might choose to locate. We regret to chronicle the death of Mrs. Susan B. Reese, wife of Mr. R. A. Reese, which occurred at her home near this city on Thursday, 1st inst., after an illness of about three years, with consumption. She was a most estima ble lady, and bore her sufferings with a patience and fortitude as heroic m it was Christian-like. A sorrowing hus band and three small children are left to mourn her loss, who have the sym pathies of the entire community in their affliction. The remains were inter red in the family burying-ground, near the residence or Rev. J. B. S. Davis, services being conducted at the grave by Rev. E. B. Barrett. The election passed off quietly last Tuesday, no disturbance of any char acter occurring in the county so far as heard from. Grimes received 1,478 votes for Congress. Bethune, the Republi can candidate, received 974. The Dem ocratic electoral ticket received 1,476 votes; Republican, 962. Only six votes were cast for the Prohibition ticket—2 in the First district, 3 in the Fifth, and 1 in Turin. Republican majorities were obtained in the following districts: Second, 2; Grantville, 48; Third, 22; Sixth, 6; Hurricane, 15. The First and Haralson are the banner Democratic districts, not a single Republican vote having been polled at either precinct. Mr. Will Handley, of Palmetto, came down last Monday and assisted Mrs. Ilavisin taking the election bulletins received at this place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Besides be ing a clever, genial gentleman, he is one of the most expert telegraphers in the State. On Tuesday night he sat at the instrument from 6 o’clock until 3 A. vi., during which time two hundred and twenty bulletins were received and posted, aggregating more than six thou sand words. These were taken without a break or an error, and with an inter mission for rest of scarcely half an hour. The intermission was filled by Mr. G. W. Ramey, Jr., who, though inexperi- A Narrow Escape. Mr. J. H. Simms, of the Third distiict, met with a serious and most distressing accident last Saturday. When the ac cident occurred he was superintned-1 ing the work of ginning and pack ing cotton at his steam ginnery. In at tempting to throw the belt from the main pulley connecting the gin with the engine, the sleeve of his shirt was caught by a set screw which projected from the shafting, and in an instant he was lifted from his feet by the whirling machinery and hurled violently to the ground, some distance away. lie was picked up in an in.-eu.-iltie condition, when it was found that The flesh had been literally lorn from his right arm, between the elbow and wrist, and that he had suffered other injuries, though fortunately no bones were broken. Dr. T. B. Davis has been attending him, and, notwithstanding the serious nature of his injuries, we are glad to know he is now in a fair way to recover. It was a miraculous escape. A Valuable Book. “Cotton Movement and Fluctuations” is the title of a handsome manual pre pared and issued by Latham, Alexan der & Co., bankers and commission^ merchants of New York, for a copy of which we hereby acknowledge our obli gations. This is a valuable book to those interested in cotton, both dealers and producers. The tables extend back a number of years; they show the daily and weekly receipts of cotton at the ports, the receipts at United States in terior towns, the exports and stocks, and the fluctuations of middling and cotton for future delivery in New York. The tables devoted to statistics of cot ton in Europe show prices, receipts and stocks of cotton in Great Britain and on the continent; also shipments from ev ery cotton producing country, the fluc tuations of deliveries in Liverpool, and in fact everything appertaining to the cotton trade of the world. In the an nual letter in the opening pages of the book a review of the cotton business for the past year is given, and the prospects for the coming season are discussed. A very elaborate report’ of the cotton crop of 1S87-’8S has been printed in full. There is also much other information that will interest the general public as well as those engaged directly in the cotton business. The book is printed on fine paper in the highest style of the printer’s art, and is beautifully bound. Notice to My Customers. Parties indebted to the undersigned either by note or account, are urgent! requested to come forward and settle. This is rendered necessary by the re cent change in my business, by whicn Mr. A. B.

The public sale of city residence lots by the Newnan* Land Company wil take place next Tuesday, beginning at 10 a. m., and continuing until all the lots set apart for sale are disposed of, Col. Geo. W. Adair, the veteran real estate boomer of Atlanta, will conduct the sale, and the indications are that a large crowd will be in attendance. The railroads will give reduced rates to those desiring to attend the sale, and as the crowd will be detained on the grounds the best part of the day a free lunch will probably be served for the entertainment of those who may be present at the dinner hour. The sale has been extensively advertised and is attracting widespread attention, not only in Newnanand vicinity,but in ot,b " er portions of the State as well. The property to be sold comprises about fifty acres, located in the south western portion of the city, near the Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama depot, and within ten minutes’ walk of the public square. The situation is high, dry, picturesque and command ing. The entire tract has been survey ed and laid off in lots averaging about one-half acre each. Streets and ave nues have been opened up and connect ed with the main thoroughfares leading to the city. These will be graded and otherwise improved when the fall and winter rains are over. Indeed, the sale is advertised for an earlier date than was originally designed, owing to the de mand for property of this character, and numerous improvements now con templated will be necessarily deferred a few weeks. These improvements will be made, however, and by the compa ny. The gentlemen composing the compa ny are among our best known and most responsible citizens, who are both able and willing to fulfill every promise made in their published circular, or any additional pledge that may be made on the day of sale. The titles are perfect —the terms liberal and easy. If you have any doubts as to the de sirability of this property, or the eager ness with which it will be sought by purchasers, attend the sale next Tues day.

With the rounds I’d make on the ladder oj fame; I dreamed to garland a poetic wreath Of the bright thoughts then in my brain, But ere I had placed the first bright flower In my wreath of youth’s fair dreams, Grief came and with hand of giant power My heart and mind enchained. And for a while my castle, erst SO bright, Was tenanted by mocking ghosts; For, in youth’s first lesson of grief’s dark hour My dream was forgotten, my fancy lost; Yet when Time, the only physician of grief, Its balm my wounds with healing wrought, With quickened pulse I turned in relief To my day dream long forgot. But with every flower I tried to cull, A ghostly hand with mystic power Reopened the wound which time had lulled, And scattered to earth my fairest flowers. So methougbt, “I’ll wait awhile, ’Till joy all radiant comes back again.” In the book of sorrow I was but a child, Aud knew not I waited in vain. But now, if asked of my turrets and flowers, I’d answer, though shivering in life’s wintry frost: Our rose-tint dreams and summer hours Are ours no more wnen once lost. Yet I grieve not the loss, for I’ve promise at even Of mansion more lasting than youth’s fickle dream, And the “Rose of Sharon” who leads to the haven Has a garland for me in the mansion,I ween.

(Continuedfrom Editorial Page.) THE DEFEATED PRESIDENT. Washington, Nov. 7.-The Post to morrow will say: “The President ta|es the result calmly and philosophically. He talked quite freely about the re turns and increased Republican vote but expressed not the slightest regret in the world at any action he had taken _ during his administration. He is willing to admit that his position on the tariff and the decided stand he took in favor of revenue reduction may have lost him- a good many votes, but he still main tains that if it were to do over again, lie would follow the dictates of his convic-, tions. The President received no tele- - grams from the National Democratic Committee until late in the afternoon. From what he has heard, however, he concedes that he is defeated. He at tributes his defeat to no one in particu- | lar, and says that Hill and Tammany hall treated him with perfect fairness, and that he has no fault to find at all. CALM AND SERENE. Columbus, O., Nov. 7.—Interest in the election returns continues great. The bulletin boards at the Ohio State Journal and Dispatch offices were watched all day by crowds of people, who seemed to care little for the rain and mud, but stood anxiously awaiting , the news and discussing it when receiv ed. Probably the coolest and appar ently the least interested man in the city was Judge Thurman, who spent his time in the way he has done for the past few years, quietly reading in hist library. He was free from opinions as to the result, and had not been paying much, if any, attention to the particu lars of the election. Being asked for an expression of his opinion, he said he had nothing to say. The two State Committees are still receiving returns from the State and figuring up the gains and losses. The Republicans are claiming a plurality of from 25,000 to 30,000, and place their es timate on the more or less complete re turns from about half the counties in the State. On the other hand, the Dem ocratic Committee say that complete returns from about half the counties in the State, complete or conservatively estimated returns from twenty-two out of sixty-eight counties, give evidence of a Democratic gain of a little over 9,000, and that if this ratio of gain continues, which they scarcely dare hope, they will carry the State. At any rate they say there is no doubt that they have cut down the Republican plurality to a small figure.
