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. . Mrs. Curtis, who is the assistant tele- grap operator at this office, has two or three pupils in telegraphy. It is no longer Miss Banks at Mr. X. O. Banks’ house, but Misses Banks. Mr. “Xin” Post will spend a few days at home during Christmas. Miss Mary LouJWilliams, of Luther ville, attended (the marriage here last Tuesday.

Mr. and Mrs. Charlie Stubbs, of Bow- don, are visiting the family of Rev. G. W. Colquitt. Dr. John H. Watkins is in town to day. He is a great fruit man. His fruit farm is large and well stocked.

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. Dec. 18th. 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. Dec. 18th. 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. Dec. 19th. Subscriber. Alliance Notice.
