A Puzzled Community.—For a long

out just $12.
A hop and sociable was given by the
young gentlemen of Xewnan at Arcade
Hall last Wednesday evening compli
mentary to our holiday visitors. It was
a very pleasant occasion, but as it will
be repeated on Monday evening next,
we will defer a more extended descrip
tion until our next issue.
Our merchant? have had a lively hol
iday trade and are correspondingly hap
py. Mr. J. T. Swint says his trade on
Monday last was the heaviest that he
has had since he engaged in the mer

from the crowds that thronged their
stores others were equally fortunate.
On Monday afternoon last Miss Sa-
fronia Webb, of the Second district,

the first train for Birmingham, Ala.
Miss Minnie Ellis, the charming and
efficient music teacher at College Tem
ple, is spending the holidays at her

Sth, and Xewnan will be delighted to
claim her for another scholastic year.

building.

Mr. Dunbar and Mr. A. B. Ashcraft,
while the blacksmith shop will be in
charge of Messrs. A. E. Edmundson
and Mark Dunbar. They are skilled
workmen, and too well known to the
public to need commendation from us.
The dwelling of Mrs. Susan Hunter,
of Turin district, caught fire last Sun
day night about 8 o’clock and was en
tirely destroyed, together with most of
her household and kitchen furniture.
Mr. AVm. Ragland, her son-in-law, oc
cupied the residence with her, having
moved in only a few days previous to
the fire, and he was equally unfortu
nate in the \ossof his household effects.
The fire caught in the stove-room, and
is supposed to have originated from a
defective flue. Xo insurance.
The directors of the Xewnan Cotton
Mills will hold their regular monthly
meeting on Friday next, (4th prox.) at
which time the president will submit
his report giving a detailed statement

engine was purchased) having sent out
one of their best machinists to do the
work.
While in Xewnan a few days ago we
dropped into the dental office of AV. T.
Cole & Son, and must say that they
have one of the best equipped offices in
Georgia. These gentleman are both
skillful dentists and have the latest im
proved machinery for making plates
and plugging teeth. Dr. AA r . T. Cole,
being somewhat of a mechanical genius,
manufactures a number of his instru
ments. He showed us a small steam en
gine he had made. It will run a sewing
machine or a small printing press. He
also exhibited to us a lathe of his own
make, and for superior workmanship it
can’t be beat.—Senoia Sentinel.
The committee of ladies who have in
charge the proposed entertainment for
the benefit of the Baptist church at
Puckett Station have decided to hold
their festival next Monday afternoon
instead of at night, as announced last,
week. In addition to the silk quilt
drawing, which of itself will be an at
tractive feature of the occasion, the la
dies will prepare an elegant dinner, con-
lent dinner may be obtained. The la
dies have worked untiringly for the suc
cess of this entertainment, and consid
ering the worthy object in view, are en
titled to a generous patronage. AA 7 e
hope they will not be disappointed.
Mr. AA r . P. Broom’s store on Bay
street was burglarized last Monday
night and a quantity of goods stolen.
Entrance was effected by knocking out
a panel of the rear door, the aperture
thus made affording easy ingress and
egress to the enterprising scamp who
perpetrated the robbery. On the night
of the 16th inst. Mr. Broom’s store was
entered in pretty much the same man
ner, though the amount stolen was
hardly so large or so valuable. On the
night of the 21st a further attempt was
made to burglarize the establishment,
but upon this occasion Night Patrol
man Martin appeared on the scene and
frustrated the thief’s plans, firing two
or three shots at the rascal as he re
treated. On Monday night last, how
ever, he was more successful, and not
only secured his booty but contrived to
get off with it unobserved. There is
no clue.
Messrs. D. H. Floyd, O. D. Barron
and Claude Register, of Gadsden, Ala.,
paid their Xewnan friends a pleasant
visit this week. All are Xewnan boys,
and it is worth mentioning that they
found no difficulty in securing lucra
tive positions in Gadsden without other
recommendation than the statement
that they had acquired their technical
education by a term of apprenticeship
with the R. D. Cole Manufacturing
Company. Mr. Floyd is foreman of
the machinery department of the Elli
ott Car Company, one of the largest
manufacturing concerns in North Ala
bama, and we are pleased to know has
given entire satisfaction in the position.
Messrs. Barron and Register are em
ployed in the foundry department,
where they have ample scope for the
display of their mechanical skill and
ingenuity, and. are already in the line
of promotion.
Bill Edwards, one of Grantville’s
toughest and most cantankerous color
ed citizens, was tried before Judge
AVells last AVednesday oq the charge
of assault with intent to murder. He
was bound over for his appearance at
the March term of Coweta Superior
Court, but immediately upon his dis
charge was rearrested on three other
warrants—one for carrying concealed
weapons, one for assault, and one for
pointing a pistol at another. He waiv
ed examination in the three last cases,
however, and demanded indictment by
the grand jury; whereupon he was
bound over in the sum of $275, which
he succeeded in giving and was releas
ed. At the peliminary hearing before
Judge AVells the prisoner was repre
sented by AAJllcoxon & AVright of Xew
nan, and R. I. O’Kelly of Grantville.
P. S. AVhatley, County Solicitor, ap
peared for the State.
Prof. Charles Astin, of Xewnan, was
in the city yesterday looking after some
music which Messrs. Philips & Crew
will publish for him. Prof. Astin grad
uated at the Academy for the Blind at
Macon, Ga., and has since that time
composed a number of pieces, and his
productions reflect credit on himself
and on the institution in which he re
ceived his education. One of the piec
es of music which he is publishing,
“Century March,” was inspired by the
reading of one of Mr. Grady’s speeches.
His “Mizpah Waltzes,” published three
or four years ago had a good run, as did
also his variations of “In the Gloam
ing,” published by Oliver Ditson & Co.
Prof. Astin says that he has composed
in all over thirty pieces of music and
that his best productions have never
been published. He desires to publish
them himself rather than to give them
to a publisher, as by taking the risk of
publishing them himself the profits to
him are much greater.—Atlanta Con
stitution, 20tli inst.
One of the most enjoyable of the
numerous social events that have oc
curred to enliven the holidays was a
reception tendered by Miss Annie de-
Graffenried last evening complimentary
to her cousin, Miss Yiola Flynt, of Al
bany. Only a select number of friends
were invited, though enough were
present to fill the pleasant parlors com
fortably, among whom were the follow
ing couples: Mr. A. M. Norris with Miss
Brenda Gibson, Mr. Mike Powell with
Miss Laura Daniel, Mr. J. S. Anderson
with Miss Morn Hall, Mr. E. M. Cole
with Miss Sallie McGhee, Mr. J. P.
Leverett with Miss Connie Hartsfield,
Mr. J. H. Hall with Miss Mattie Reid
Robinson, Mr. C. E. Vance with Miss
Polly Huen, Mr. W. C. Wright with
Miss Mary Clarke, Mr. Y. C. Thompson
with Miss Annie Belle Clarke, Mr. AY.
R. Clarke with Miss Helen Long, Mr.
Tom Banks with MissNell Bush, Mi. E.
H. Xorris with Miss Emma Stanford,
Messrs. G. R. Black and AV. A. Davis.
Elegant refreshments were served, and
the entire occasion was one of unstint
ed pleasure and enjoyment.
influence and services will not he los
to the community. He was cashier o
this bank for several years prior to his
engagement in the mercantile business
and is thoroughly familiar with the d#-
ties of the position.
Mr. J. S. Hollinshead, who has per
formed the duties of cashier so satisfac
torily for several months past, will con
tinue his connection with the bank as
assistant cashier. He is a most capable
and excellent official, and the public
will be glad t6 know that his service?
have been retained.
. Messrs. I. X. Orr and Jack Powell
will continue the mercantile business
under the firm name of I. X. Orr & Co.,
and are making preparations for a
heavy trade in the dry goods and gro
cery line during the coming year.
These gentlemen have been associated
in business so long, and are so well and
popularly known to the people of Cow
eta and surrounding counties, that
nothing we might say could add to
their reputation as enterprising and
trustworthy business men. They give
notice elsewhere that the books of the
old firm must be closed up, and urge all
parties indebted to them to come for
ward and make immediate settlement.
The retirement of Mr. Kirby renders
this all the more important, and it is
absolutely necessary that these matters
be adjusted without delay. See notice.
The Doctors Celebrate.
Amid the social flurry and pyrotech
nic confusion which has prevailed since
the opening of the holidays it has been
no easy task to keep up with the dis
tracting course of events that have fol
lowed each other in such swift succes
sion; but ye editor, who contrives nev
er to get left when lie can help it, ac
cidentally stumbled on a mysterious
and solemn looking conclave in Burch’s
restaurant last AVednesday night that
laid over anything that he had yet en
countered. It was a supper, gotten up
by the doctors of Xewnan for their
own behoof and enjoyment, and such
visiting members of the profession as
might find it convenient to attend.
And such a supper! Roast goose, roast
turkey, oysters, quail on toast and sal
ads formed the basis of the menu,
though these were liberally garnished
by numerous side dishes of more or less
temptingness, the whole comprising a
feast fit for the gods. There were just
thirteen seats and these were occupied
by Drs. F. M. Brantly of Senoia, Cas
per Smith and Thos. Mixon of Palmet
to, R. L. Y. Long, J. T. Reese, C. D.
Smith, A. C. North, G. AV. Peddy, T.
J. Jones, T. B. Davis, J. T. Moore and
J. D. AValker, while ye editor usurped
the thirteenth one to make the number
even.
Dr. Brantly and Dr. Long occupied
the posts of honor, and but for the
elaborate festal agglomeration which
steamed and simmered under our very
noses their serious demeanor might ea
sily have been mistaken' for that per
plexity which so often vexes the pro
fession when diagnosing a complicated
case. The solemn stillness which seem
ed to oppress the occasion as the report
er entered was soon broken, however,
and once broken the entire company
assumed an air of jollity as delightful
as it was surprising. As a pleasing pre
liminary to the more practical enjoy
ment of dispatching the rich viands
that graced the festal board, Dr. Lum
Smith was called on to make some re
marks. Dr. Smith is the literary mem
ber of the local guild, and, as he always
does, proved himself equal to the emer
gency by reciting the following original
poem:
Thrice welcome, Doctors, here to-night!
\Ve seldom see just such a sight;
It need nor cause the least affright—
They coiuc because of appetite,
For appetite will always draw -
’Tis well ordained by Nature’s law,
To satisfy a hungry craw. . .
Hence, we are here at this repast,
And trust it may not be the last;
Nor is it best too long to fast,
For hunger and the wintry blast
May chili the man and freeze the blood
For the want of generous food—
That that’s rich, and rare, and good,
To maintain a strong manhood.
If the times be hard and shirky,
Clouds financial dark aud murky,
We can afford a good fat turkey—
And some oysters, fresh and fine,
A la mode from Reid’s cuisine,
And, if to “smiling” some incline,
May wash them down with best of wine.
If anything we tlie;i shall lack
To keep the freight from coming back,
And the train straight down the track,
Each one may give his lips a smack,
And take a drink of old cognac.
The Doctors now have in their reach
Enough for all, enough for each;
Let us, then, these good tilings eat—
Not as a gastronomic feat,
To find which can his fellow beat—
But for our comfort and good will,
Each for the other to fulfill
All obligations here below
That doctors to each other owe.
Then shall our lives be truly blest.
The greatest, grandest, richest feast,
The truth of which we all attest—
To stand by one another here.
We need not doubt, nor halt, nor fear—
But onward move, each in his sphere,
Commissioned here the sick to heal,
And to respond to want’s appeal,
And for the suffering heart to feel,’’
And with relentless death to deal.
To duty prompt, each in his place—
A boon and blessing to his race.
A glorious lesson here we teach;
So may it ever prove for each
Until the end of life wo reach;
And when we cross the shining river,
God grant us then a feast forever.

or Dr. Peddy would expatiate upon i
juiciness of the gastrocnemius of t

Reese would interject something about
the comparative excellence of those
sections of a well-fed fowl of the gal
linaceous species recognized among
members of the profession aspectoralis
major and latissimus dorsi, respectively.
For reasons satisfactory to ourself we
held stiffly aloof while this discus
sion was going on, and while we may
not have been able to designate by
name the anatomical members of the
various subjects laid out for dissection,
we flatter ourself that we handled our
knife with as much dexterity and
wielded uur fork as vigorously as any
of them.
Before the cloth was removed Dr.
Davis was called on for a song, but
he pleaded as an excuse that lie—was—
not in voice, and as Dr. Reese could
not he prevailed upon to take his part
on the programme the company ad
journed to Dr. North’s ofiiee. An hour
was spent here most pleasantly in con
versation, during which Drs. Brantly,
Long, Peddy, Lum Smith, Reese and
North regaled the younger members of
the profession with some of their early
experiences, some of which were too
funny for anything, and which lack of
space only prevents us from reproduc
ing in detail.
i t was a most delightful occasion, and
we return thanks to our medical friends
for the large share of pleasure which
fell to our part. AYe are in favor of
making it an annual occasion.
