Brewster are attending court in La- Grange this week, both being interest ed in an important railroad case now before the jury in that Court, though on opposite sides. v That excellent gentleman, Mr. Joe II. Dent, was in the city last week, look ing after his valuable property near town. Mr. I). has a good farm and lias been over winding up his business for the year.—Carrollton Times. Mr. Arthur P. Camp, who moved to his Meriwether plantation the early part of the year, has employed Mr. Florence Hodnett to look after his farming interests in that locality, and will return to Puckett Station. The many friends of Capt. .T. E. Stal lings, who moved from this county to T» mple, Texas, about five years ago, were delighted to have a visit from him this week. He is not quite so young as when he left, perhaps, but carries this years solightly as to induce the beliel that he is both prosperous and happy in his new home. AYe wish him a pleasant sojourn. \Ve understand that Messrs. R. AY. Andrews and A. IT. Young have pur chased the stock of goods and store house belonging to Dr. G. E. Camp at Puckett Station, and will succeed that gentleman in business. The formal transfer will probably not be made be fore January, though it js understood thatjthe trade hasfbeen practically con summated. fragments could be gotten together to identify the bale. The excitement last ed but a minute or so, but those who witnessed the scene say it was exceed ingly thrilling. A movement is on foot to establish a soap factory in Newnan, and the indi cations are altogether favorable to the success of the enterprise. It is in the handsof half a dozen determined, public spirited gentlemen, who are amply a Dit to build and equip the establishment, and it is only necessary to add that tin factory will be built. Active steps wil be taken to this end in a few days, and it is probable that the factory will be built and ready for business by spring, if not before. Aft r his annual autumnal sojourn “amid the friends and scenes of earl) days,” Mr. J. H. Dent left last Monday for his home in Maryland, followed by the tearful regrets and best washes of the entire community. If the coming holidays bring him half the pleasure that his genial presence affords his many friends in Newnan lie will surely be happy. Mr. -T. F. Si tender's new residence is about finished, and is one of the hand somest and most desirable cottages in the city. It is not for rent, though more than one houseless wayfarer has viewed it with a covetous eye. The Middle Georgia Alliance Manu facturing Company will be incorporat ed at the February term of Spald ing Superior Court. The object of the company will be to erect and run a cotton seed oil mill and guano factory. Mr. B. AV. Cochran, a prominent and substantial citizen of Palmetto, came (low’ll yesterday and subscribed for twenty shares of cotton factory stock, paying $2,000 in cash for the same. The subscription book w r ill close to-morrow. Miss Helen Long returned home this week on account of the severe illness of her mother, who has been confined at home for several days. Mrs. Long was somewhat better yesterday, how ever, and her speedy recovery is now’ hoped for. Uncle Jake Sponcler had an alterca tion with a buzz saw one day last w r eek, and as usual the saw got the best of it. One of his thumbs was badly lacerated, from the effects of which he is likely to remain in a state of enforced idleness for several days to come. Capt. J. F. Lovejov, secretary of the Newnan Cotton Mills, is now prepared to issue stock to those entitled to shares. Call on him at his office, No. 1 Cole building, and get your cert : ficates. The certificates are beautiful specimens of the lithographer’s art. Mr. AA\ II. Brooks, of the Third dis trict, has obtained the enormous yield this season of two hundred bushels of sweet potatoes from one acre. Judging from the specimen exhibited at this of fice we are only surprised that the yield was not greater. Mr. AY. L. E. Boyd has our thanks for a lot of the finest sweet potatoes, of the old-fasliioned yarn variety, that we have seen this season. Mr. Boyd is a model farmer, and by this act show’s his appreciation of the wants of the poor newspaper man, and promptly supplies them. Mr. AY. F. Shropshire has rented out his farm in the Sixth district and will either move to Newnan or go to Atlan ta. AYe hope he w’ill come here; At lanta is much too wicked a place for so good a man as Bro. Shropshire, ifiid his friends w’ill not consent willingly to his removal. Two local bills for Coweta were intro duced in the House last Monday. Mr. Atkinson presented two of these—one to amend the charter of the city of Newnan, and another to repeal an act creating the City Court. Mr. Jones introduced a bill to incorporate the town of Moreland. Mr. I. A. Smith, the gentlemanly and enterprising agent of the Southern Oil Company, has shipped fifteen car-loads of cotton seed from this point since Oc tober 1st, and about fifty from Grant- ville, Puckett’s and Powelville. The Southern Oil Company hasn’t a more active or reliable agent in its service, nor one who enjoys more fully the con fidence of the people. It having been reported that Dr. H. L. Johnston had moved to Atlanta, and is therefore no longer a citizen of Campbell county, the Fairburn News says: “This is a gross mistake, and be ing in position to know, we take pleas ure in stating that Dr. Johnston’s home is at Palmetto, Ga., where his family are now’ residing, and where lie may be found when not engaged in .official duty in the Legislature.” Mr. H. II. Harrison, of Sharpsburg, had occasion a few days ago to break an egg, and was astonished to find snugly embedded in the center a peculiar ova rian freak in the shape of another egg. It is encased in a shell, and though scarcely larger than a partridge egg, ap peal’s to be fully developed. It isa gen uine curiosity, and the only freak of the sort ever brought to our notice. There being some division among the citizens of Carroll as to the advisability of abolishing the City Court in that county, Senator Sharpe and Represen tatives Harper and McDaniel have join ed in a request that the people settle the question for themselves at the county election in January, they agree ing to abide the decision of a majority of the voters of the county as thus ex pressed. sells Drummers say that Newnan more goods and pays her bills more promptly than any towm-in AYestern Georgia. This is generous praise, from a generous source, and yet not more than our prosperous little city deserves. Socially, she carries her heart on her sleeve, as even the stranger within her gates w’ill testify; and when it comes to business she can give points to any town in the State. A\ T e ha\’4&received from a friend at Hearne, Texas, a Japanese persimmon It w’eighs eight ounces, is as large as ai£ orange, and ;s the finest specimen of “’possum fattener” that we have ever seen. As our taste inclines both to ’simmon beer and ’possum, we shall plant the seed of this wild western spec imen in the hope of raising a crop of beer. If we don’t get beer, w r e may catch the ’possum. Dr. T. J. Jones left AVednesday after noon for New York City, whither he goes for the purpose of placing his brother, Mr. J. F. Jones, under the treatment of a celebrated specialist for disease of the kidneys. He w’ill proba bly not return before Christmas,, but while there will improve the shining hours by taking a short course of lect ures m one of the leading surgical and medical institutes of the city. Judge II. W. Camp, of Puckett Sta tion, has leased the Dennis residence on Greenville street, and will move liis family to Newnan during the com ing w’eek. Mr. A. J. Pinson, who has resided on the premises since January, now occupies the Cole cottage in the eastern portion of the city. Yesterday being a legal holiday both banks were closed. The usual holi day hours were observed at the postof- fi.ee also. The valuable property belonging to the estate of*tlie late Mrs. Nancy Free man will be sold before the Court-house door next Tuesday. j Tax Collector Farmer gathered in be- j tween five and six thousand dollars on j Tuesday and AYednesday last. There : is a considerable amount yet due, how- j ever, and in order that all may have an ! opportunity of settling their taxes Air. i Farmer lias'deeidedto return here next | Tuesday, after which the books will be • finally closed. The new’ depot at Puckett Station has been finished and formally opened to the public. Air. J. T. Mayfield lias been installed as agent, but as his time is pretty well occupied in looking after the water tank and coal-sliute at the station, the company will furnish an assistant in a few days, who will relieve him of a portion of his new duties. A telegraph office will be opened, also, which is a convenience that the town has long needed. Eighteeneightyeight is slowly but surely petering out, and many of us, alas! find ourselves about as poor as we were a year ago. Air. J. B. Sargent, ol New York. ar rived last night on a visit to his brother, Capt. II. ,1. Sargent, and will spend several days in the city. The event of the week was a masque- ueradc party last evening at the resi dence of Air. and Mrs. AY. A. Dent, which will be described in detail in our next issue. Christmas is only twenty-live days off. and tiie small bov is already figur- Charlie Meyer, the popular and en- : terprising grocer, has added to nis al- ; ready well-equipped establishment a handsome delivery wagon, and is better piepaYed than e\er to serve the city i trade. It was built by the Newnan Wagon Company, and is one of the j neatest jobs yet turned out from that ! busv establishment. The report having been circulated that Air. J. B. Alount contemplates leaving Newnan, he desires us to state that there is no truth whatever in the l.mior. This impression obtained, doubtless, from the fact that he is sell ing out at cost, which is true; but he is selling only fall and winter goods at cost, in order to make room for his spring ( stock. As lie is largely overstocked in this line and as there seems to be no [ early prospect of wintry weather, the explanation is simple enough. The National Sabbath Union will hold its annual convention in Washington City on December 13th, and Dr. Jas. Stacy, of this city, has been invited to preside at the meeting and deliver an address. The Union has for its object the more effective promulgation of views on the subject of Sunday-observar.ee, as held and taught by orthodox churches generally, and embraces nearly every denomination. Owing to other engage ments Dr. Stacy, will he unable to at tend, though he is sincerely anxious to do so. Yesterday was observed as a holi day by a number of our citizens, who sought relaxation from the drud gery of business routine in a variety of ways. Several hunting.parties were or ganized, a general tusilade being kept up in the adjacent fields and woods from morn till night. AYe observed, however, that a majority of those who went joyously afield in the morning took their vesper quail at the restau rant as usual, paying the customary tariff assessed on epicurean collations oi t ills character. About the 15th of next month Air. S. F. Vineyard and family will move to Texas, where they propose to make their home in future. By reference to our advertising columns it will be no ticed that a public sale of their perisha ble and personal effects is announced for Tuesday, December 11th, at which time all their horses, cattle, wagons, farming implements, kitchen and house hold furniture, will be sold to the high est bidder, and we have no doubt a large crowd will be attracted. Air. Vineyard is one Coweta’s oldest citi zens and most successful farmers, and we regret tc see him leave. The special thanksgiving service ap pointed for last night at the Presbyte rian church was largely attended, all denominations being well repre sented. Services were conducted by Ilev. J. B. S. Davis, who spoke elo quently and feelingly on the subject of thanksgiving and prayer, which he re garded both as a beautiful Christian custom and a religious duty. He was followed at intervals by Aiessrs. AY. P. Nimmons, T. E. Fell and Y. II. Thomp son. each of whom made appropriate remarks on the same line. The services were exceedingly interesting and much enjoyed by every one present. On Tuesday evening next, at Reese’s Opera House, a concert will be given for the benefit of Mecanics’ Band Or chestra, and a brief review of the pro gramme assures us that the entertain ment will be fully as enjoyable as any that has yet occurred under the auspi ces of the Mechanics boys. The object of the entertainment is to raise funds to assist in paying for the instruments purchased lor the orchestra, and we hope every lover of the divine art will contribute something to the success of the affair. The exercises will be under the directorship of Prof. Astin, and the programme promised for Tuesday night is one of the best that he has yet ar ranged anywhere. Marshal Robinson did a neat bit of detective work recently. A lady lost her pocket-book on the street, contain ing about $20 in money and several ar ticles of value. There was not even a suspicion that could be used in tracing the missing purse, and the loser had about given up all hope of recovering it when Marshal Robinson accidentally obtained a clue, t hough so slight as to be altogether vague. He followed it up, however, aud in about a week succeed ed in locating the purse, which he promptly recovered and returned to the owner. The money and other ar ticles were found to be intact, and the lady who suffered the loss wasof course delighted at the recovery. If John be longed to a detective agency he would be a shining light in the profession. is desired. At night Rev. A\ r . R. Foote will preach his last sermon for the con ference year, and will doubtless be greeted by a large congregation. The North Georgia Conference will convene next AYednesday, at Milledgeville, 1 though Bro. Foote will leave on Alon- j day, in order to be present at the meet- j ing of a special conference committee, ■ of which he is a member. Bro. Foote I lias labored earnestly and faithfully with our people during his two years’ pastorate here, and is popular with all d nominations. We hope he ’will be returned, and have reason to believe that this wish is shared by the entire community. Settled. The special term of Coweta Superior Court appointed for the first week in December, to try the railroad cases, will not be held. On Wednesday last Col. P. F. Smith, leading counsel for plaintiffs, received a proposition from the attorneys of the Atlanta and AYest Point Railroad looking to a compro mise. Cel. Smith went to Atlanta in response to the summons, and as a re- suit of the conference thus brought about a compromise was effected and the eases were all dismissed, including that of Felix Dickson, which is now pending in the Supreme Court, By the terms of the settlement Col. Smith and his associates receive $5,."300, the gentle men associated with him in the case being Aiessrs. P. S. Whatley, P. IT. Brewster and AYilleoxon & AY right. It was not as fat a fee as they might have obtained had the cases been fol lowed up, but they did not want to be too hard on the railroad company, and generously agreed to compromise. The trial of the cases would have occupied about a week, and their dismissal saves the county about $700 in the matter of Court expenses. i^THisWEEK AT HOLLIS’: Malaga Grapes, granges, . fresh Lemons, Banan , . pies, Cooanuts.

Newnan has the most economical city government and the most accommoda ting officials of any town within our knowledge. AA’ith the lowest rate, of taxation and the largest amount of as sessable property in the State, popula tion considered, it has been customary for the Marshal to call on each indi vidual tax-pajer and personally solicit the payment of whatever taxes may be due. This might do well enough in a town like Griffin, where they have no city government, but for so pretentious a municipality as Newnan to send her chief police officer ar ound on an annu al tithe-gathering expedition is too ab surd for anything. More than that, it is an imposition upon the Marshal, who has other and more important duties to perforin, and we hope the custom will be abolished. Let the usual notice be given of the date when the tax-books will be closed, and if our citizens do not settle their taxes within the time prescribed allow process to issue against them as is customary in other cities. The payment of taxes is purely a matter of business, not of accommo dation, and no good citizen will need to be reminded of his duty in the prem ises. Cure of Pneumonia. Hess Road, Niagara Co., N. Y.,) March 24, 1880. j About a year ago I was taken with a severe pain in both lungs. I was first attacked with a violent chill, then a dreadful pain and then a cough, accom panied by considerable fever. It look ed very much like an attack of pneu monia. A friend of mine procured five Allcock’s Plasters. One lie put un der eacli ami, one under each shoulder blade, and one on my chest close around my throat. In a few hours the cough ceased, the pain gradually abat ed and I broke out in a profuse perspi ration. I fell into a profound sleep, and the next day was almost well. I wore the Plasters eight days after wards, and have never had any trouble since. William A. Sawyer. How’s This?

Mason & Hamlin Organs and Pianos. The improved method of fastening the strings of pianos, invented by the Mason A Hamlin Organ and Piano Com pany in the year 1882, is unquestiona bly one of tlie most important improve ments ever made, making the instru ment more richly musical in its tones, as well as more durable, and much less liable to get out of tune. Both the Mason & Hamlin organs; and pianos excel chiefly in that which ' is the chief excellence in any musical i instrument, quality of tone. Other i things, though important, are much j less so than this. An instrument with j unmusical tones cannot be a good mu- I sical instrument.
