The members of the colored Metho

eral months past in raising a fund with
which to make some needed repairs
upon their church building, and we un

$105, which will be added to the
fund, and the male members have
promised to double this amount by the
first Sunday in June. Judy Bolton is
president of the society, Mattie Page
treasurer, and Dora Ector and Mary
Reid secretaries. The proposed re
pairs apd alterations will cost $1,500.
The strawberry and ice cream festival
given by the Ladies’ Memorial Associa
tion last Tuesday evening on Major and
Mrs. Geo. Jones’ lawn was a brilliant
success, socially and financially. The
entertainment began at 6 p. m. and last
ed until V0, and was well attended by
both old and young. The receipts were
$33. This sum will furnish 1 loadstones
for eleven of the soldiers’ graves, and it
is the desire and expectation of the asso
ciation to raise enough during tho sum
mer to complete tho work. It is a noble
charity, and the ladies should be warm
ly encouraged and assisted: in their
praiseworthy undertaking. The next
entertainment will take jfiaee during
the coining month.
A Deserved Promotion.
The act of tho last Legislature re-es
tablishing the office of State Geologist
provided for the appointment of two
assistants. The State Geological Board,
which is composed of tho Governor and
Stato House officers, mot in Atlanta on
Tuesday last to select the two assis
tants required by law. Among the nu
merous applicants was Prof. E. T.
Whatley, of this county, and it will be
a matter of interest as well as pleasure
to his numerous friends to know that
he was unanimously chosen by the
board for one of the offices. The other
applicant selected was C. C. Anderson,
of Pulaski county.
Prof. Whatley graduated from the
State University in 1880, and shortly
thereafter was elected princqml of
Hearn Institute at Cave Spring, Gn., a
position which he has held continuous
ly evor since. Under his management
the school soon took rank among tho
foremost institutions of loarning in the
State, and there is no question but that
its usefulness and efficiency would be
still further extended wero he to re
main at its head. His selection for the
offico of assistant to tho State Geologist
is ail honor most worthily bestowed,
and that ho will demonstrate tho full
est capacity for tho work to bo done,
no one who knows him will doubt. His
promotion is regarded with feelings of
the liveliest gratification by his Coweta
friends, and by no one more than The
Herald and'Advertiser.
Children’s Day at tho Methodist
Church.
What is known as “Children’s Day”
in tho Methodist church, South, was
inaugurated by tho General Conference
four years ago. The dosigti was to de
vote one Sabbath exclusively to tho in
terests of tho children, and thus
turn the attention of tho church
more particularly to the young, and
to give hn opportunity for contri
butions to be made to destitute Sunday-
schools.
This day was observed last Sabbath
at tho Methodist church in Newnan,
where a largo congregation assembled,
consisting mainly of childron. An ap
propriate programme had been ar
ranged, which was carried out with
few alterations.
After some excellent singing, and
prayer, Master Jimmie Goodrum and
Miss Tiny Claire Parks recited some
beautiful versos especially prepared for
the occasion, entitled, "If Wo are
True.”
Next came a responsive Scripture
reading, after which Mrs. D. B. Wood-
roof read quite impressively a ppem se
lected from the Sunday School Visitor,
the children’s paper, entitled "The
Children’s Day."
The pastor, Rev. C. C. Cary, then de
livered an excellent short sermon, his
subject being the "Call of Samuel,” in
which he showed that God called chil
dren into his. service, and used them in
carrying out His designs. He illustrat
ed these points by striking Scripture
examples, and others of modern times.
Then followed another short Scrip
ture reading, when the usual annual
collection for destitute Sunday-schools
was taken up, which concluded the ex
ercises.
Annual Commencement ot the City

sic. Judge W. R. Hammond, of Atlan
ta, has been invited to deliver the ju

Tha Community Mourns.
The death of Mrs. Dr. J. II. Hall,
which occurred on Tuesday night, last,
after an illness of about two weeks, was
one of tho saddest events we have over
been called on to chronicle. When we
went to press last week it was confident-
ly(hoped that her recovery was only a
question of a few days; but, unfortu
nately,, her Illness took nn unexpected
and very serious turn, and all the med
ical skill that could be applied to the
case was found to be unavailing. Tho
ruthless hand of death could not bo
stayed, and on Tuesday night nt 11
o’clock her gentle spirit passed away.
The funeral services took place at the
cemetery on Thursday morning nt 10
o’clock. Dr. Henry McDonald, pastor
of the Second Baptist church, Atlanta,
and an old friend of the family, was re
quested to conduct the exercises. The
members of the Baptist church desired
the funeral services to bo held in tho
church edifice, but the docoased had
made a special request of the family
that her romnins bo carried quietly
from the home to the grnvo and there
interred with ns little demonstration ns
possible. All idea of ostentation or dis
play was repugnant to her nature, and
for this reason no sorvices wero held in
the church. At tho appointed hour tho
remains were taken from the home
which had so long known the power
and influence of this godly woman and
borne revorontly to their last resting-
place on curth, followed by a largo con
course of friends and neighbors. The
pall-bearers were Messrs. W. C. Snead,
A.,I). Freeman, Goo. W. Ramey, Sr., I.
N. Orr, T. G. Farmer and A. B. Cates.
Aftor a fervent and touching prayer
by Dr. McDonald and tho rending of
appropriate Scriptures, ho spoke briefly
but improssivoly of tho lifo and charac
ter of tho deceased, who had always
boon noted for her strong faith and
powor in prayer.
A brief but fooling talk was made by
Judgo A. D. Freeman, also, nfter
which tho assembled throng joined ini
singing the hoautiful hymn, "Some
Sweet Day.” Tho benediction was them
pronounced by Rev. II. S. lleos, of Tu
rin, nnd the services ciosod.
What an inspiration nnd liolp Mrs.
Hall was to her husband in his great
life-work will never bo known in this
world, while her intluenco for good in
the community as well ns in the home
circle is beyond nil cstimnte. Tho mem
ory of her beautiful, consecrated, Chris
tian life will bo a constant liolp' to
many n wife nnd mother who is strug
gling hopefully to perform her duties
in lifo.
The stricken family have tho syuqKv-
tliios of the entire community in their
affliction.

The Mucon livening News of Wed
nesday last says:
According to appointment, Hon. J.
B. Hunnicutt, candidate for Commis
sioner of Agriculture, will spoak in Ma
con next Saturday, In view of that fact
the following special from Rpme may
be interesting, as showing what the
people of Macon may expect: "At the
noon recess, Hon. J. B. Hunnicutt was
invited to address the crowd. ThiB he
proceeded to*do in his usual happy
style. He caught the ear of the crowd
from the start. Mr. Hunnicutt drew a
beautiful and eloquent picturo of Geor
gia’s coming prosperity, as foreshad
owed in the prices realized at this sale.
The great mineral, agricultural and
timber resources of the State were now
attracting capital from the North and
East. He bid welcome to all who corne
to help us. The speaker grew poetic
and improvised a number of impromp
tu rhymes, which were thoroughly ap
preciated by the representative audi
ence. Round after round of applause
responded to tho happy hits and felling
points. He was introduced to the crowd
as the corn and oat raiser of Middle
Georgia.”
Hon. W. B. Berry is as apt at repartee
as he is shrewd and far-seeing in busi
ness matters, and has a Parthian lance
for every luckless wit who has the te
merity to cross blades with him. Not
long since he was taking breakfast at
one of the swell up-town hotels in New
York, and had as compugnons d’hote a
couple of blue-nosed patriots of the
Down East variety. With a garrulous
obtrusiveness characteristic of the race
they sought to engage him in conversa
tion, and after vainly essaying to draw
him out on first one topic and another,
the talk finally drifted into a discussion
of certain notable incidents connected
with a public demonstration of the
Grand Army of the Republic, which
had taken place in New York only a
short time before. The patriots waxed
warm and enthusiastic in their laud
ations of the G. A. It., and as a climax
to the roistering flubdub with which
they had been regaling each other, one
of them turned to Mr. Berry, and, with
a manner and expression that were
meant to be impressive, said: “Ah, sir!
the Grand Army of the Republic is the
biggest thing in this country, and no
mistake.” "Well, I don’t know about
that,” said Mr. Berry, in that dry, rasp
ing tone which he is wont to assume
when stroked the wrong way, "there is
at least one thing bigger than your
Grand Army of the Republic, and it
seems to be growing every day." “What
is that, pray ?” queried the patriot, as
he elevated his sky-colored proboscis in
manifest disdain. "It—is—the—Solid
■South!" was tho sententious rejoin
der; "I supposo you linvo heard of it V”
They failed to ejaculate. In fact, tlioy
wero so diraifuddlcd nt tho unexpected
retort that they could not frame a re
ply, nnd Rroi. Berry was allowed to fin
ish hia taeal' without further interrup
tion.
“The. whole country soems to be go
ing wild'Qii. the subject of trusts, com
bines, andi organizations of overy kind
and character,” remarked a veteran
merchant tlie other day, "and now I
understand: tlint tho drummers have
•guuizcdl. One of tho objects of their
organization, as I have boon informed,
is to foroe the railroads, hotels and liv
ery stableoto give thoin special rates;—
in otheri words, by combining against
them, to compel favors that are not ac
corded to-tlie general traveling public.
This-may bo well onougli, so far ns tho
'ailroads- ace concerned—the railroads
am alile to stand it;—but when it comes
to combining ngainst our hotels and liv
ery stables,, in ordor to save a fow dollars
for tho.'r omployors, I think they should
stop and reflect. For illustration, New-
nan spends a hundred thousand dollnrs
or mom lu Atlanta overy year, and the
only part of it that slio gets back is the
pittance tliat tho Atlanta drummprs
spondtftir hack hire and hotel accommo
dations. This money oventually finds
its way buck to tho local merchants, but
is- really so small a part of tho amount
that? the drummers carry oft in tho way
of tmdo as to bo scarcely worth men
tioning.. Therefore, instead of trying
to beat prices down at our liotols and
livery stables, they ought, ns a matter
of generous reciprocity, to bo willing
to pay at lonst as much as is churgod
other patrons of tlioso establishments.
Ths drummers seoin to bo in a swing
now,, and may fool that tlioy are indis
pensable,. but tlioy are not. In fact, I
am not suro if tho average doalor
wouldn’t got along bettor without
them, anyway. In tho first placo, tho
drummer’s expenses nro liocossarlly
added to tho cost of tho goods which
tho merchant buys, and in tho course
of a year this of Itself will amount to a
snug sum. In tho next placo, tlioro is
hardly a merchant who doos not occn-
sionally ovorstock himself moroly to bo
accommodating, and frequently pur
chase articles that ho does not nood at
nil, because tlioy nro urgod upon him
by a clever drummer whom ho likos.
This may not appear sensible or bust,
noss llko, but It Is truo novortlioloss,
and I am satisfied there isn’t a mer
chant in Newnan who does not linvo
this experience overy yoar. Now, if the
country merchants wero to combine
and agree not to purchase any more
goods from tho drummers timir occupa
tion would be gono, and in this day of:
now departures tho advisability of suoh
a course certainly presents some aspects
that are worth considering. 1 like tho
drummers. As a class they are cloveiy
gentlemanly and generous; but Ii am
free to say thut J do not approvo tlie
stingy policy of trying to Huve a litWo
expense In those towns that patronize
them, in ordor that their omployors may
add u fow dollars more to tlie profits on
their sales. If tlie money thus saved
went into the pockets of tho drummers
It would not appear quite so bud*, per
haps, but I nm told that it doea not,
and tho zeal displayed in lrylng;t» . re
duce their weekly expense account s un
doubtedly works a hardship upon their
best friends—tho country merchants.
While the drummers are flourishing,
they should bo willing t hat tlioso who
support and enenurago thorn in bus
mens have an equal showing for a living,
also. ‘Live and let live,’ is a mighty
good motto for tlie drummer, and' it is
one that he ought to keep in mind as he
mingles with his country customers.”
