The R. I). Cole Manufacturing Com
pany recoived and set up at their shops
last week a machine that will fairly
revolutionize the boiler-making busi
ness. It is a mammoth boiler-punch,
by means of which the company will be
enabled to turn out just six times as
much work in this department as it lias
formerly done. AVhen all the new work
ing machinery ordered by the company
arrives the regular weekly output will
consist of one engine and boiler, one
corn-mill, and one cotton press. This
will be about double the present capac
ity, and will give employment to a
number of extra hands.
During the week ending May 12th
thirty-three hundred and ninety-five
pieces of mailable matter were deposit
ed in the Newnan postoffice for trans
mission, the exact weight of which was
two hundred and eleven pounds and
four ounces. Taking the above as an
average, and assuming that an equal
quantity of mail matter is received for
distribution, the total number of pieces
handled each week by the Newnan of
fice is six thousand seven hundred and
ninety, or a total of three hundred and
fifty-three thousand and eighty for
twelve months, weighing within a frac
tion of twenty-two tons.
On Tuesday evening next there will
be an ice cream and strawberry festi
val on Major and Mrs. George Jones’

ciation, the purposo being to raise funds
with which to purchase marble slabs
for tho soldiers’ graves, nnd is the first
of a series of outdoor entertainments
that will be held in different portions of
tho city during tho sumiuor in further
ance of this worthy object. Visitors will
lie received and entertained from 6 to
10 u. at., and it is hoped that as many
ns can will attend.
Prof. P. D. Pollock, in his lottor to
The Herald and Advertiser this
week, (which, by tho way, is one of the
newsiest and host that ho hns yet writ
ten,) intimates his intention of leaving
Paris in a few days for Algiers, whence,
after a brief stop, he will proceed to
Madrid, Spain. A letter received yes
terday apprises us of his snfo arrival at
Algiers, nnd his many friends will be
glnd to know that, he is in excellent
health nnd spirits. Ilia letters to Tiie
Herald and Advertiser have boon
very much enjoyed by our renders, and
wo are pleased to annmmco that they
will be continued during his stay abroad.
He will remain in Europe until the lat
ter part of next yenr.
The Telephone Exchange.
Nownan will soon have a tolopono
exchange, and a lino to Atlnnta. Par
ties in Atlanta can then convorso with
subscribers in Nownan with as much
ease as if they woro hero. This will
also give Newnan connection with a
number of othor towns, and will bo
of great benefit to our factories and
business men. All those who- want
telephonos should order them at onco,
so all can start in together. About ten
instruments hnvo been ordorod thus
far, but no doubt Nownan will require
twenty-live or thirty, as some of those
most interested have not yet given
their ordors. Marietta, Ga., smaller
than Newnan, has an exchnngo of thir
ty-five subscribers nnd a lino to Atlnntn.
Tho merchants iirMariotta aro loud in
tholr praiso of tho businoss convenience
which it affords.
The polos and wire aro now on tho
way for the work hero, and in a few
weeks tho Exchnngo will bo in success
ful operation.

Coweta Was There.
Judge Bon Leigh and Uncle Jimmie
Carmical represented Coweta county in
the State Temperance Couvontion
which convoned in Atlanta Inst woek.
Uncle Jimmie distinguished himself by
becoming involved in a controversy
with Mrs. Dr. Felton, and we aro sur
prised to see from tho Atlanta papers
that she finally won him over to tier
side. The fact that Uncle Jimmie lias
boen "layin’ low and sayin’ nothin’”
since ho returned from Atlnnta would
seem to indicate that there wns some
basis for tho newspaper report, though
wo cannot holp believing thero is
somo mistake about it. If true, it is the
first instnneo on record where Uncle
Jimmio has boen driven from a position
which ho boliovod to bo right. Tho At
lanta Journal says Mrs. Folton • tnlkod
so fast nnd so scathingly that she made
tho old gentleman “dizzy,” whllo tho
Constitution states that she literally
“wiped up the floor” with him. It is
now in ordor for Uncle Jimmio to ex
plain, and wo lmvo no doubt ho will bo
able to clear up tho matter to tho satis
faction of his friends nnd all concerned.
oughtito lmvo a canning factory, and
with the encouraging start thus made
there is no reason why tho enterprise
should not succeed. The amount ofi
cnpital required enn bo gotten up in an
hour, nnd we trust tho gentlomon who
lmvo nlrondy manifested an interest in
tho matter will close up tho sub
scription nnd got ready for work.
Prompt action is all the moro important
from tho fact that it will be necessary
tomnke arrangements in advance for
supplios of fruits nnd vegetables for
canning purposes, and unless nttondod i
to at onco the planting sonson for vege
tables will soon bo over. For instnneo,
a canning establishment costing $8,030'
would probably use ton thousand bush
els of tomatoos during the season,, be
sides other vegetables, such ns beans,
corn, etc. Thoso must bo planted not
later than Juno to bo avnilablo for tho
presont season’s operations, nnd parties-
desiring to engago in tho industry
should hnvo duo notice of tho quantity
and variety of vegetables that the fac
tory can use for canning purposes.

At tho Htnto University, on Saturday

of tho Fhl Kappi Society took place,
and it will be it matter of interest as
well us gratification to his numerous
friends hero to know that the prizo was
awarded to Mr. A. C. Willcoxon, over
a number of competitors. The event
is thus described by the Athens Led-
(jer of the 10th inst:
The annual modal debate of tho
Phi Kappi Society enmo off this morn
ing, that of tho Dcmoalhonian having
tukon place last week. In those de
bates all the orators of the college con
test, and it is truly a contest of young
intellectual giants. The man who is
able to compose such a speech, contain
ing the purity and beauty of composi
tion, the forcible logic, the political and
social scionce, and then deliver in a
manner that will thrill an audience, is
certainly to be congratulated. It is
looked upon by many as tho greatest
honor the University can confer. Mes
srs. J. It. Cooper and A. C. Willcoxon
were the medalists this year, and it is
a little unusual for both these med
als to be taken by lawyers. This goes
to convince all that this year’s law class
is the best that lias ovor been hero.
Their class-stand ranks very high, eight
of thorn having made a hundred on tho
second book of Blackstone, which
is said to be ono of the hardest things
to learn in the whole world of letters.
Every man will, without doubt, get a
diploma, and in about a month thirty-

At a called meeting of the Board of
Trade ono morning last week, and be
fore tho meeting was called to order,
Mr. Jos. T. Kirby casually remarked
that he would subscribe $250 for a can
ning factory. “I will give $250,” said
Mr. R. D. Cole, Jr., who occupied a scat
near hy. “And ho will I,” said Col. B.
T. Thompson. “Put me down for the
same,” chirruped Mr. Geo. W. Ramey,

Poddy. “Tally us for $100 apiec-3,”
murmured Messrs. J. R. Herring and I.
