The conference will assemble on Wednesday night, July 2d, when tho opening sermon will be preached by Rev. Simon Peter Richard son, presiding older of the Griffin dis trict. Papers in the LaGrange district will please notice. Our Methodist friends are negotiat ing for a mammoth bell, to take the place of the one now in use, and will endeavor to have it here and put in po sition before tho district meeting comes off. The new boll will be three times larger than tho old one, and will weigh about twelve hundred pounds. Messrs. J. O. Davies and Y. C. Thompson, who have the subscription list in charge, re port a sufficient sum already on hand for the object in view, and the purchase will be made at once. Tho Chattanooga Times says work will soon be commenced on the exten sion of the Chattanooga, Rome and Columbus road from Carrollton to Columbus, nnd that the contract has been let to the Chattahoochee Brick Company. Similar rumors have been in circulation before, but owing to their frequency and doubtfulness have ob tained but little credence in the public 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 week at the Presbyterian church was a most interesting and enjoyablee occa 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 ation. Mr. Y. H. Thompson went to Colum bus Monday afternoon to attend the annual convention of the Georgia Fu neral Directors’ Association, which met in that city Tuesday morning. .

The new officers are as follows: President—H. M. Patterson, of At lanta. 1st Vice-President—J. H. Fox, of Sa vannah. 2d Vice-President—Y. H. Thompson, of Newnan. 3d Vice-President—W. II. Wilder, of Albany. Secretary—A. B.»Cunyus, of Carters- ville. Treasurer—J. F. Barclay, of Atlanta. Executive Committee—Y. II. Thomp son of Newnan, J. E. Blalock of Jones boro, and G. L. Summers of Barnes- ville. The next meeting will be held in 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. Proceeding* of the County Democratic Executive Committee. Pursuant to tho call of the chairmnn, published in The Herald and Ad vertiser last week, the County Dem ocratic Executive Committeo mot in tho office of Hon. II. W.

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. After a pleasant nnd profitable session 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. The programme was as follows: " Visions of Rest,” (instrumental solo,) —Miss Jennie Burpee.
