THE NEWNAN
CARRIAGE AND BUGGY WORKS.
We are now prepared to do all kinds of Carriage.
Buggy and Wagon 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 ,n this
section of the State, and workmen that know exactly how to put it together. We do not
vet our vehicles “knocked down." from the North, as many other manufacturing firms do, bul
make them out and c at. This is our strongest recommendation. We manufacture—
CARRIAGES, PHAETONS,
LANDEAUS, HEARSES,
ROAD-CARTS, BUGGIES,
S^TLKEYS, 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 worn; we guarantee satisfaction.

J[r. Editor:—The ladies of the Bap
tist church are arranging to give a sup
per at the Sewell House on the evening
of the 27th inst., for the purpose of rais
ing money to paint the Baptist church.
This is a commendable enterprise and
we trust the ladies will meet with the
success they deserve.
The double marriage referred to in
your last issue was consummated at the
appointed time. After congratulations
and kind wishes from friends and loved
ones, the bridal parties left on the 3
o’clock train for Montgomery.
We have been cognizant of the fact
for several months that Mr. J. F.' Love-
joy and family would move to your
thriving town some time during
the winter. We are loth to give them
up, and real sadat the thought of part
ing with them. Mr. Lovejoy has been
the superintendent of the Methodist
Sunday-school here for some time, and
has by his affable and gentle manners
won the hearts of the whole communi
ty. We commetd him and his family
to the good people of Xewnan.
We regret to hear that some of our
friends have had their Christmas tur
keys stolen. .

grap operator at this office, has two or

the voyage of life together with the
best wishes of the entire community.
The people of this vicinity are well

Turin.
Mr. Editor:—In the sad and sudden
death of Mr. S. Shropshire, recorded in
the last issue of your paper, the family
have my sincere condolence. Deceased
had long resided in our midst, and so
conducted himself as to win the confi-
bence and esteem of all who knew him.
He lived a godly, upright life, and one
full worthy of emulation.
On Saturday evening last Capt.
Croft’s train happened to a serious ac
cident, by which five freight cars were
thrown from the track and badly
wrecked. The track was also torn up
for a considerable distance. But little
other damage was done, though the
train was delayed some time.
The people seem to be in a state of
unrest and discontent the like of which
I have seldom known at this season of
the year. On Monday last Capt. Hicks*
and son, with their families, left for
Cullman county, Ala. A Mr. Ingram
also left for the same locality, the par
ties traveling together. Capt. II. C.
Fisher and family have moved to At
lanta. Mr. Starter Shepherd and fami
ly have moved to Senoia. Hon. Wm.
Win tley has moved to Fayetteville,
vhile Mr. James Johnson has coniQ to
Turin. The parties named above are
from Fayette county. Messrs. Wilbur
Jones and Will Camp, of Turin, will
leave us in a few days- Mr. Camp-going
to Moreland and Mr. Jones to Concord.
Mr. R. J. Stewart has moved to the
place recently vacated by Capt. Pick
ard Smith. Mr. Ed Smith goes to Knox
ville, Gii.., to engage in tlie mercantile
business. Thus Turin loses several of
her best citizens, with their interesting
families, and I understand that other
changes may occur.
We are pleased to note that the fol
lowing young ladies have been visiting
in Turin recently: Miss Blanche Brown
of Senoia, Miss Clyde Dickson of New-
nan, and others whose names are not
now remembered.
It is with sadness that we chronicle
the death of Mr. Alexander Dunn, of
Fayette county, which occurred a short
time since at his home near Starr’s mill.
Deceased had attained a ripe old age
and was numbered among Fayette’s
best citizens. The stricken family have
our deepest sympathies.
Mrs. Hattie Shell has been seriously
ill lor several days, but we are glad to
report a slight improvement in her con
dition at this writing.
The uspal preparations are being
Mr. M. A. Xorth left last Thursday
for Atlanta, where he goes to engage
in the mercantile business. Success to
you, Toney.
The infant child of Mr. and Mrs.
Thos. Street died a few days ago. I
extend sympathies to the bereaved par
ents.
Miss Love Carpenter spent last week
with Misses Roxie and Lula Xeely.
The Alliance is growing stronger and
better with each meeting. Following
is a list of the new officers: J. I). Ar
nold. president; J. If. Xeely, vice-pres
ident; W. S. McDonald, secretary; J. S-
Benton, treasurer; E. L. Waltom, lect
urer; Cliff Haines, doorkeeper; J. Y. Mc
Donald, doorkeeper.
Messrs. L. Z. Johnson and Thos. M.
Arnold have decided to move to Atlan
ta, for the purpose of engaging in the
mercantile business. They will raovr
their families this week.
Last Wednesday night Frank Carrui-
cal and John Byrd stole 345 pounds of
seed cotton from the cotton-house of
Mr. Will Xorth. They were arrested
the following day by constable Xortli
and brought to this place, where they
were tried before ’Squire Harrison.
Carmical was bound over in the sum of
$25 for his appearance at the March
term of Coweta Superior Court. Byrd
will be tried next Saturday, and it is
sincerely to be hoped that they will
eventually find their way to the chain-
gang. Both parties are colored.
E. B. Cannon left last Tuesday for a
visit to relatives in Carroll county.
Mr. W. F. Shropshire and family have
moved to this place, occupying the
beautiful residence of Prof. Ham.
Messrs. D. II. Brown, R. L. Smith and
W. S. McDonald visited your city on
business Tuesday.
An attempt was made by unknown
parties to rob Rev. Mr. Mallory last
Saturday night. JIc was spending the
night at ’Squire Jones’, and upon rous
ing up between midnight and day dis
covered some one in his room. He gave
an alarm, whereupon the intruder made
a break for the door ami succeeded in
getting away. Rover.

Notes from Old McIntosh.
Mr. Editor:—The many friends of
our good neighbor, Mr. and Mrs. Dan
iel Jacobs, will be glad, with us, to
know that they have, in a great meas
ure, recovered from the terrible accident
that happened to them several weeks
ago, both having been thrown from
their buggy by the running away of
their mute. Mrs. Jacobs, who was the
more severely hurt, is beginning with
the aid of a crutch towalka little about
the house. They have had the fullest
sympathies of all who knew of their
affliction, and it is certainly a matter of
thankfulness on their part, and con
gratulation on that of their friends,
that, at their advanced age, they have
so far gotten over their injuries.
Mrs. Hopper, Mr. Jacobs’ eldest
daughter, from Carroll, is spending
some time with her father.
Mrs. Doc Lane, Mrs. J.’s daughter
from Carroll, spent several days with,
her mother last week.
We learn that Mr. Xeely Robertsor.
lias moved his family to Atlanta. They
will be missed in the church and Sun
day-school, where their faces have so
long been familiar. May prosperity
attend them in their new home.
Mr. Ernest Waltom has, we leaam,
decided to seek what fortune holds in
store for him in the West. Will take
his departure for Texas in a very few
weeks. We trust that only good, In
every shape, awaits our young friend,
and hope that the attraction of having
two sons in the Lone Star State will not
prove too strong for his parents.
As common to this period, the-year’s
made for the holidavs, and a merry j b ^iness is being rapidly brought to a
close, 2s early everyone has finished
Christmas will be enjoyed by the young
people; though there are others who j have heard from is elated overiihe re
will pass the season in sadness, remem-! suit. But naught is gained by grieving.
“Heart within and God o’erhead” will
help to hopeful work another year.
Your correspondent was misinformed
some time since in regard to the bridge
bering those who are missing from the
family circle.
And now, gentle reader, we part from
you for the year 1888. For your infor
mation and pleasure we have written.
Whether you have appreciated our ef-
over White Oak on this road,, or else a
change has been made, as Mr: Will Mc
Donald has taken the contract, and it
is likely that under his efficient man-
forts we cannot say; but we know one agement the public will soon be re
thing, we have aimed to please, and it
has been no fault of ours if we have
failed. Certainly no improper motive
has ever prompted a sentence from
Round About Turin.

Sharpsburg-.
Mr. Editor:—We are having right
cool weather now and some of our
neighbors are making good use of the
season by killing hogs—those, at least,
who have them to kill. This fortunate
class are exceedingly few, however.
Mr. J. H. Xeely killed one, IS months
old, that weighed 350 pounds; but Mr.
Will Cannon can beat that. He killed
one, 10 months old, that weighed 50
pounds.
Capt. Henry Xorth has moved to
Bowdon, Ga., where he will op n a
lieved of the inconvenience endured for
several months past.
Mr. Lum J acobs went Monday on a
business trip to Grantville..
Old Mr. Jacobs had the misfortune to
lose his milch cow last evening. She
was tethered among the canes near
the small creek that runs through his
farm, and her feet becoming entangled
in the rope, she fell in and drowned.
