mind. This last report, however, seems
to have some basis, and we shall not be
surprised if work begins any day.
The lecture of Dr. E. II. Barnett, of
Atlanta, on Thursday night of last

sion. The church was crowded and
many were unable to obtain seats in the
building. Dr. Barnett’s subject was
“The Holy Land,” being a description
of sights and scenes witnessed during a
recent tour of the Old World, and it is
needless to say' that his auditors were
highly entertained. lie is a scholarly
and polished speaker, and talks most
interestingly on all subjects.
We call the attention of our readers
to the first annual statement of the
United Underwriters Insurance Compa
ny, which appears in this issue. This is
a Georgia enterprise, and the company
has before it a great future. The man
agement is composed of efficient, con
servative meh, and is prompt and fa,ir
in all its dealings. The stock is owned
exclusively by Georgians, a good por
tion of it being held by citizens of New
nan, Grantville and Palmetto. It com
mends itself to those desiring fire insur
ance, in more ways than one, and we
bespeak for it a generous share of the
business of our section.
The Policemen’s Picnic.
The Atlanta policemen’s picnic at
Pearl Spring Park on Wednesday last
was one of tho largest, most orderly
and enjoyable gatherings that has
taken place on tho grounds this season.
Tho crowd was estimated nt about
twelve hundred, twelve coaches being
required to bring tho excursionists
from Atlanta. A balloon ascension,
dancing, foot-races, boating and fishing
comprised the chief amusements, while
an elegant barbecue furnished equal on-
joyment for the inner man. Marshal
Robinson and Deputies Dunbar and
Dent acted as hosts of the occasion, and
extended tho freedom of the grounds
to their Atlnntn brethren.
Death of Mr. B. S. Askew.
On Monday morning last a telegram
was received from Milledgevillo an
nouncing the sudden death of Mr. B.
S. Askew, from a stroke of apoplexy.
He had been an inmate of tho Lunatic
Asylum for several months prior to his
death, but apart from this malady was
apparently in good health, and the an
nouncement of his death was of course
a sad shock to his family and friends.
Mr. John Askew left for Milledgevillo
immediately upon receipt of tho sad in
telligence nnd brought the remains to
Nownan, where they were interred
Wednesday morning in tho city como-
tery. Services at the grave wore con
ducted by Dr. Hall. Deceased was
about 47 years of age, and leaves a wife
and several children.
Old Folka’ Exourslon and Picnic.
On AVednosday next several mnrriod
couples from the city will go to Atlanta
and spend the dny at Grant’s Park.
The party will go and return on tho
accommodation train, and will bo com
posed of tho following gentlemen and
their families: R. D. Cole, Sr., M. Cole,
A. D. Freeman, R. II. Hardaway, E.
D. Fouso, T. G. Farmer, I. N. Orr, N.
Mattux, and S. W. Murray. Others,
whoso names have not yet been ob
tained, will probably join tho party,
nnd the trip will undoubtedly bo a
ploasnnt and enjoyable ono. Wo aro
requested to stato, for tho benefit of
tho ladies who contemplate going, that
only light lunches will be carried, ns
other refreshments needed can be easi
ly obtained on tho grounds. Tho fate
for tho round trip will be $1.18.
To Visit Newnan.
General Mannger Tyler and General
Freight and Passenger Agent Cromwell,
of the Atlanta and West Point road,
have promised to visit Nownan soon
and spend tho day. Their visit is sup
posed to have some connection with
certain contemplated improvements at
Pearl Spring Park, and may result in
tho early preparation of plans for a
new depot, which was promised by
President Phinizy more than a year
ago. In either evont wo shnll bo bono-
fitod, and their proposed visit will bo
looked forward to with much interest.
Pearl Spring Park is the only pleas
ure resort on tho Atlanta and West
Point road, and there is no question
but that an outlay of a few hundred
dollars in improving the grounds would
be a good investment for the road. It
is already one of tiie loveliest and most
picturesque spots in the Stato, and
only needs a larger pavilion, a band
stand, a few lunch tables, seats, etc.,
to make it the most attractive picnic
resort to bo found in a day’s ride from
Atlanta.
The Georgia Funeral Directors’ Associ

Mr. Y. H. Thompson went to Colum

lanta.

Brunswick on Tuesday, May 20th, 1891,
Accidental Killing;.
Anticipating a big crowd on the day
of the policeman’s picnic, W. M. Cobler
and J. H. Grantham, of Atlanta, se
cured from the Pearl Spring Park As
sociation the privilege of erecting a
shooting gallery on the grounds. On
Tuesday night they loaded their outfit
on a one-horse wagon in Atlanta and
started through the country for New
nan, expecting to arrive here Wednes
day morning. They were accompanied
by a negro named John Bell, who had
been in their employ for several rnonths.
At a point about six miles above the
city the party stopped by the roadside
to get some water. Cobler and Grant
ham remained in the wagon, while tho
negro brought the water. Cobler was
sitting on the front seat witli a small
parlor rifle lying across his lap. As he
turned to take the cup of water extend
ed him by the negro his rifle slipped
from his lap, and, striking the edge of
the wagon-body, was discharged.
Simultaneous with the report the negro
gave an exclamation of pain and sank
to the ground. Both men alighted
from the wagon, and upon examination
found that the ball from tho rifle had
struck tho negro in the loft tcmplo.
Ho was unconscious when they reach*
ed his side, and in a few minutes ex
pired. Cobler and Grantham placed
the body in tho wagon nnd brought it
to the city, where they notified the au
thorities what had occurred ami gnvo
their version of the killing.
Coroner Duncan thought best to hold
an inquest, and fdr this purpose iiu-
panneled a jury, who, after taking the
statement of tho men nnd considering
all the circumstnncos, decided Hint tho
killing was accidental.
Corner nnd Grant-ham wero the only
witnesses to tho killing.
Cobler is said to bo a Northern man.
Bank Statements.
The official statement of our two
banks, showing their condition at tho
closoof business May 17th, will bo found
on another page, and we respectfully
invite attention to tho same.
The First National shows a surplus of
$74,000, a deposit fund of $100,392.00,
and loans and discounts amounting to
$129,080.33. It may not bo gonornlly
known that tho First National is ono of
the few banks in the country whoso sur
plus more than equals its capital stock,
but it is true nevertheless, Tho Journal
qf Banking for May prints an elaborate
statement showing tho condition of tho
national banks of tho country, of which
thoro aro more than throe thousand,
and tho First National of Newnan
ranks twenty-mno in tho list. Thoro
aro but threo national banks in tho
State, and but two hundrod and thirty-
nino in tho whole country, whoso sur
plus equnls their capital stock, and
those are classified as follows:
National Bank of Athens, numbor
oloven; per contugo o p surplus and undi
vided profits to capital, 274.71.
First National Bank of Nownan,
number twenty-nine; porcontngoof sur
plus and undivided profits to capital,
200.41.
Atlanta National Bank, number eigh
ty; percentage of surplus and undivided
profits to capital, 143.58.
This is a magnificent showing, and
when it is romomborod that tho First
National only recently distributed $50,-
000 surplus among its stockholders, nnd
still retains its high position in tho
brief list of banking institutions
whoso surplus equals thoir capitaliza
tion, tho exhibit is all tho more romnrk-
ablo.
Tho statomont of tho Nownan Na
tional shows that it is in a highly pros
perous condition, also, and that its
business is steadily growing. Though
organized loss than six years ago, it
lias never passod a dividend, and lias
accumulated besides a surplus of about
$10,000. At this into it will not bo long
beforo it will bo nblo to sliqw a surplus
equal to its capital stock, also.
The statement published this week
shows eurplus and undivided profits
amounting to $10,007.55, doposits $00,-
100.04, and loans and discounts $110,007.-
50. It is mnnugod by skillful officers
and a prudent board of directors, and
the periodical investigation of its affairs
is nlways satisfactory to its stockholders.
Indeed, no financial institution of its
years and capital in tho State can make
a better showing. The figures speak
for themselves.

Railroad Officials Visit Newnan.
Some dayH ago President Hunter ad
dressed a communication to MnJ. W.
F. Shollman, Master of Transportation
ol tho Central system, nnd invited a
conference with the Newnan Board of
Trade on various mnttors affecting tho
relations which the railroads boar
toward tho manufacturing and com
mercial interests of the city. Major
Shollman accepted tho invitation, and
appointed Tuesday afternoon for the
meeting. lie arrived on tho 3 i». m,
train from Atlanta, and wus accompa
nied by Mr. C. II. Cromwell, General
Freight and Pussongor Agent of tho
Atlanta and West Point road. They
wero met at t n* depot by President
Hunter nnd Mayor Powoll nnd escorted
to tho Court-house, where tho mooting
was to be hold, nnd where about sovon-
ty-llvo members of the Board of Trade
had already assembled in response to
tho call of tho President.
The object of the conference was to
secure lower ratos on coal, iron, and
other classes of raw material that en
ter into our various manufactures, and
to induce the railroads to give special
rates on all manufactured products.
The extent and variety of our manu
facturing interests wore fully sot forth,
and other statistics presented showing
the growth and importance attained by
our city within recent years as a manu
facturing point.
Alajor Bhellman said it was the poli
cy of the Central road to encourage en
terprises located on tho various lines
composing that great system, and that
he would cheerfully make such conces
sions as would enable Newnan to com
pete with other manufacturing towns,
lie specified certain articles upon which
reductions would be allowed, and in
order that Newnan might bo placed on
a parity with other towns in the mat
ter of freight rates, he indicated
a willingness to make still further con
cessions, as necessity may demand.
Mr. Cromwell seemed equally Inter
ested in the industrial growth of our
city, and promised as much on behalf
of the Atlanta and West Point road as
Major Bhellman had on tho part of the
Central.
The conference lasted about an hour,
and was characterized by mutual can
dor and good feeling. We did not get
all that wo asked for, but were met
more than half way on several propo
sitions, and encouraged to hope for
something better in the future.
Messrs. Bhellman and Cromwell made
a very favorable impression upon tho
members of tho board, and evinced a
friendliness and approachablenoss that
was hardly to lie expected under the
circumstances.
Progress.
It is very important in this ago of vast
material progress that a remedy be
pleasing to the taste and to the eye,
easilv taken, acceptable to the stOmacn
and healthy in its nature and effects.
Possessing these qualities, Syrup of
Figs Is the one perfect laxative and
most gentle diuretic known.
A Delightful Occasion.

of soven months, Mrs. Woodroof’s
Class in History nnd Shakespeare
closed Inst Friday, and the event was
colebrnted nt night with a delightful
entertainment nt the residence of Air.
P. F. Cultino. The members of the
class invited quito a number of their
friends, and tiie social intercourse en
joyed was not the least pleasing fea
ture of the gathering. The programme
was entirely impromptu, and yet the
various parts were rendered with a
grace and anility that would have sug
gested careful and painstaking prepara
tion to one not aware of the extempora
neous character of the entertainment.
