This change ia made in order that the
Col. T. G. Stacy, of Brunswick, Ga.,
arrived Tuesday afternoon on a visit to
his brother, Drf Stacy. Col. Stacy is
one of the veterans of the Georgia press,
having been for many years editor and
proprietor of Brunswick’s leading pa
per, and an active factor in promoting
the growth and prosperity of that thriv
ing town. He returned Wednesday af
ternoon.
We regret to learn that there has
been no improvement in the condition
of Mr. Haisten Herring since our last
issue, and that little hope is entertained
of his recovery. He fa one of Coweta’s
best citizens and most successful far
mers, and the newsofhia critical ill
ness will be heard with deep regret by
lizing the need of a compress there as
an adjunct to his business, he proposed
to the citizens of Dawson last week
that if they would subscribe half the
amount required for tho enterprise his
firm would furnish the balance. The
subscription list was started on Thurs
day morning at 9 o’clock and in less than
two hours $30,000 had been subscribed.
The Dawson News says $20,000 of the
stock was taken by citizens of tho town
and the remainder by Hamilton & Co.,
and that others woro disappointed be
cause there was no stock loft for them.
The News ndds that Hnrailton & Co.
buy a large per cont. of the cotton crop
of Southwest Georgia, and will opon
permanent offices in Dawson. Work
on the compress will begin at once.
The Middle Georgia Shippers’ Union,
of Pomona, Ga., has called a mooting
of all fruit-growers of tho State, to be
held in tho Capitol at Atlanta on
Thursday next. Delegates are request
ed to bring statements showing the
area planted in fruit in their respective
localities; also, estimates of tho proba
ble quantity of fruit to bo shipped this
year. It is hoped that every fruit
grower’s organization in the 8tnte will
be represented, and that shlppors will
bo present from localities where no or
ganization exists, as arrangements may
be made that will very greatly aid small
shippers in isolated sections. Fruit
culture is assuming important propor
tions in Cowota county, and we trust
the meeting in Atlanta will bo well at
tended by those ongaged in tho indus
try. There are two fruit-growors’ asso
ciations in tho county, we boliove—one
at Senoia and one at Moreland—both
of which will doubtless he represented.
At the mueting of the County Alli
ance last Friday the schomo for the es
tablishment of n cotton seod oil mill and
guano factory was strongly indorsed,
and the committee on organization was
authorized to make application for a
charter and begin work ns soon as $50,-
000 shall have boon subscribed. A good
proportion of this amount has been se
cured already, and the members of the
committee appointed to solicit sub
scriptions nre urged to redouble their
efforts between now and the 25th inst.,
ns the subscription lists will be consol
idated on that day. It is desirable that
the stock of the concern be held exclu
sively by farmors and Allinncomen,
though outsido parties aro ready and
willing to make up such deficiency ns
may exist when the work of the can
vassing committee is finished, and a
resolution allowing them do so was
adopted by the County Alliance on
Friday Inst. Tlioro seems to be no
question as to tho ultimulo success of
tho enterprise.
At a recent, meeting of the trustees
of Hoarn Institute, at Cavo Spring, Ga.,
l’rof. E. T. Whatley was unanimously
ro-CleCted president of tho instltuti n
for another year. Tho trustees were
so woll pleasod with l’rof. Whatley’s
management of tho school that they
decided to spend several hundred dol
lars in renovating and repairing the
buildings, and make other needed im
provements. Among other things, a
chemical and physical apparatus will
be added, to cost $200 or $300, and tho
facilities of tho school will bo improved
in every way. As another evidonce of
l’rof. Whatley’s popularity and effi
ciency as an educator it may bo stated
that at tho recent session of tho Floyd
county grand jury ho was chosen

Every citizen of Nownan who is real

member of tho Board of Trade. What
ever good may bo accomplished t lirough
tins agency will benefit all alike, and
all should bear alike the expense inci
dent to its organization. The time has
arrived when Newnan must bestir her
self, or she will be outstripped by her
more enterprising rivals in Western
Georgia. Carrollton and LaGrango are
building up at a rate that is attracting
attention everywhere, and they are
already among the best advertised
communities in the State. Newnan
lias easily taken precedence over these
towns heretofore in point of commer
cial importance, and there is no rea
son why she should not hold this posi
lion; but if she neglects to improve the
opportunities and advantages held out
to her on every hand, we cannot an
swer for the result. The object of a
Board of Trade is to unite the com
munity in an earnest effort to build
up and protect the business interests of
the community and those who refuse to
co-operate with the association in pro
moting tho objects alluded to will aim

They boarded with the family of Mr.
Jim Cole, who lives about a mile this
side of Powolville, and after the accom
modation passed Ragsdale persuaded
his mother and little brother to lot him
carry them homo on his tricycle. The
construction train was following close
behind the accomodation and Ragsdale
was warned of the dnngor incurred in
running between them, but ho seemed
confident of his nbilty to cover tho dis
tance in safety, and started off. It was
dark, and Ragsdale had hardly gotten
out of sight before the construction
trniu canto along. The engine was run
ning backwards, without a headlight,
and about three-quarters of a milo this
side of tho station overtook the tricy-
clo and ran into it. Mrs. Ragsdale at
tempted to jump, but did not succeed
in clearing the track, and was caught
by the rapidly moving train and knock
ed off. She was not seriously injured,
but tho shock to her system was so
great that she died in about twenty
minutes. Ragsdale was hurled agatnst-
the Bide of the cut and sustained injuries
which resulted in his death a few hours
lator. Tho boy leapod off before the col
lision occurred and escaped without in

Dr. McGee, of Powolville,' nnd Drs.
Poddy and Davis, of this city, were sum-
monod to the sceno, but could do noth
ing for tho relief of tho sufferers, tholr
injuries being beyond tho reach of med
ical skill.
Ragsdale was about 22 years of ago,
and unmarried. His mother was be
tween 45 and 00.
Tho revival meoting at tho Baptist
church closed lastjSunday night, after
threo weeks of continuous service and
prayer, and with tho largest number of
accessions that has over resulted from
a single meeting since tho church was
organized. Forty-seven wore received
on profession of faith and four by lot
ter, making a total of fifty-one. Of
tho former, sixteen wore baptized
the second week of the meoting, twen
ty-live on Sunday night last, and six on
YY’ednesday night. It was a remarka-
good to the community.
A Brutal and Cowardly Assault.
About two weoks since n member of
the Atlnnta police forco named Ander
son visltod Carroll county, got drunk,
and while in a state of Jovial maudllnity
slipped a pair of handcuffs on tho wrists
of an unsuspecting fanner whom he
chanced to meotin tho public highway.
The farmer felt outraged at tho treat
ment and had n warrant issued for An
derson’s arrest. Tho details of the af
fair were telegraphed to tho Atlnnta
Constitution by its Cnrrollton corres
pondent, who is Mr. A. U. Fitts, the
editor of the Carrollton 'Times. Tho
matter came up before the Police Com
missioners in Atlanta on Tuosdny last,
and Mr. Fitts was summonod as a wit
ness. Shortly after his arrival in the
city,j nnd before the hour announced
for the trial, Mr. Fitts mot up with An
derson on the streets, who asked
Fitts to accompany him to his lawyer’s
office. Apprehending no danger, ami
supposing that Anderson desired to
have a private interview, Mr. Flit
accompanied him to the ollicn of
his luWyor. When they reached tin
landing on the second floor of tho build
ing Anderson suddenly turned upon
Fitts nnd, grnsping Fitts’ right hnm
firmly with his left, began heating him
over tlie head nnd face wit h his fist,
Before Mr. Fitts could recover an 111
iiontly from tho shock of the first ut
tack to defend himself, Anderson
leased liis hold and ran. Mr. Pitts is
constitutionally delicate, and in apliysi
cal contest would be scarcely a mutcl
for a man of his own size, while Ai
dorson weighs over two hundred pounds
amt is a regular bruiser. Under tlies.
circumstances it is not to be womlcre.
at that Mr. Fitts was badly hurt; im
does it liolp his feelings in t.lm leu-
that his cowardly assailant should liavi
been permitted to escape in broad day
light. It wan a brutal assault, certainly,
though wo suppose Mr. Fitts ought to
fool thankful that lie escaped with his
lire.
Anderson was dismissed from tho
force.
MEMORIAL DAY.
Superintendent Dill, Roadmaster
Marvin, and Trainmaster Story, of the
Central railroad, passed over tho Sav
annah, Griffin and North Alabama road
Tuesday on a tour of inspection.
Among the early improvements prom
ised for Newnan are additional side
tracks, both at the depot and junction,
and a new bridge for Greenville street.
The new structure will be about twen
ty feet wider than the present unsight
ly affair, extending far enough on the
west end to take in the sidewalk on
that side of the street. Maj. Geo.
Jones says the material for the bridgo
has been received and work will com
mence in a few days.
Mr. "YV. T. Arnall, of Senoia, was in
the city Tuesday, and in response to a
query informed a Herald and Ad
vertiser reporter that he would glad
ly co-operate with the ladies’ Memorial
Asociation in carrying out the pro
gramme arranged for Memorial Day,
and thought every old soldier in the
county ought to be present and take
part in the exercises. Capt. J. W. An
derson, Capt. R. L. Y. Long, and Major
J. P. Brewster have expressed them
selves with equal earnestness on the
subject, and as the gentlemen represent
officially the several Confederate vet
erans’ organizations of the county, it
will be noted with pleasure that, how
ever indifferent other localities may be
to the demands of this sacred anniver
sary, patriotism is certainly not at a
discount in old Coweta.
A full attendance is earnestly desired.

Arrangements for the proper obsorv

about complete, and wo can safely
promise that the demonstration will be
equally creditable to ourdty and to tlio
occasion which it commemorates. Tlio
Ladies’ Memorial Association lias boon
careful to omit no detail that will add
to the interest of the exorcises, and the
unwonted activity manifested by our
citizens in preparing for the event leaves
no doubt that it will bo fittingly ob
served. The Savannah, Griffin and
North Alabama road will give a 4-cont
rate on that day from all points be
tween Griffin and Carrollton, and no
doubt tho Atlanta and YVest Point will
be equally generous. Music will bo fur
nished by Mechanics Silver Cornet
Band, than which there is no better in
tho State, while the address of Col. T.
C. Nolan will furnish its own meed of en
joyment to those who delight in elo
quent oratory. The old veterans will
have a part in tho exercises, also, and it
is hoped that all who can will attend.
Special attention will be paid to the
comfort of visitors.

A terrible accident occurred on the
