Wo mention thin item first because of
its social, solid importance, and would
just say, "Young man, go thou and do
likewise.”
Married, on last Thursday, at 2 o’clock
r. M., at the residence of the bride’s
father, Dr. Pinkston, In Meriwether
county, Dr. W. H. McCrary and Miss
Lena Pinkston, llev. J. M. Bowden of
ficiating. May connubial bliss in great
measure be the lasting portion of this
happy young couple. The groom and
his bride are spending some days with
his parents here, Mr. and Mrs. J. M.
McCrary.
The exorcises of Kenoia High School
are over. The commencement sermon
was preached at the Methodist church,
Sunday, by Hov. Charles l.ane, of At-
lanta. The bay and palm tree spoken
of in the 3?th and 92d Psalms formed
the basis for Ids sermon—the bay repre
senting the bad, and the pnlm tree rep
resenting the good. The discourse was
well filled with incidental illustrations,
and made a very favorable impression
upon the large audience present.
Wo regret very much that* our en
gagements have been such as to prevent
our attendance upon any of the exor
cises of the school, but the general
testimony is that they are equal, if not
superior, to any that have preceded
them. Prof. Brown and his accomplish
ed daughter, Miss Blanche, who have
charge of the literary department, and
Miss Kate Cooper, who has charge of
the music department, should feel con
gratulated by the many compliments
bestowed upon them, respectively. The
musical exercises have boon very high
ly spokon of, there being four pianos in
use in some of tho pieces. Wo take
pleasure in stating that this school is in
a flourishing condition, with fair pros
pects of it.s excelling any period of its
iormer history.
Major W. A. Turner, of Newnan, de
livered tho literary address at 11 a. m.,
Tuesday. Bis subject, was “The Four
IPs,” moaning tho head, hoart, hand
and heel. That, lie handlud his subject
woll is altestod by all who hoard him,
and tho house was full.
Please allow a brief sketch of this
school. Nineteen years ago llev. W. T.
Read was principal. Soon after that,
Prof. T. E. Atkinson, a young graduate
of the Virginia University, went into
the school as assistant teacher. In two
or three years Rev. Mr. Read retired,
leaving Mr. Atkinson in charge, which
position he tilled very acceptably for a
number of years. When he retired to
engage in mercantile business he was
succeeded by Prof. Walker, of Atlanta,
who taught, if we mistnke not, ono
term, followed by tho .present incum
bent. Prof. P. F. Brown.
Among the many visitors at this time

Grange; Miss Lillian Martin of Atlan
ta, and Miss Ora Brown of Gridin, who

There was quite a washout on the Sa
vannah, Griflln and North Alabama
railroad last week. The thoughtful nnd
cautious track-master, Mr. lteden, dis
covered it in ample time to avoid any
risk of danger whatever, the highly
sensational report, of the Atlanta Con
stitution to the contrary notwithstand
ing. The brench was repaired nnd

the next day.

In an old volume of “Pilgrim’s Prog-

been written four years ago, instead
of near one hundred and four years.

After a protracted illness of several

with numerous other relatives. After
a funeral sermon by the writer the re

Oapt. J. D, Hunter has a very fine

no better than send Capt. H.

That is a false report about my say
ing that when I got to the Legislature
I intended to introduce a bill to reduce
the price of frying chickens. I didn’t
say it. The object of the report was
evidently meant to turn the country
ladies against “Buck” nnd myself,
knowing that the ladies have great in
fluence over their husbands. About
the next thing you will hear is that I
have been stealing frying chickens. If
they don’t prove it on me I shan’t care
much, so I get there, Eli. I am too
busy teaching “Buck” the rudiments of
farming to go around shaking hands
with everybody, but I Bend “howdye”

Whllo in Newnan Saturday I visited
the shops of the Coweta Wagon Com
pany nnd found Superintendent Folds
and Prof. Hodge driving spokes with a
vim. I was courteously shown through
tho establishment by Col. Luther Far
mer, and must say that 1 was surprised
to see so many well-finished wagons
and buggies. I was more surprised still
to learn the low prices at which they
wore sold. Anybody can own a wagon,
on tho terms offered by this company.
I see no need of tho fnrmers sending
off to Tennessee or elsewhere for wag
ons when thoy can be had just ns cheap
and as good right here at homo. Wag
ons that cost from 8100 to 8125 fifteen
years ago can bo bought in Newnan
now for 835.
The idea some people have that they
must send off for everything they need
is all wrong. By so doing wo impover
ish our home enterprises, and make rich
a class of people who care nothing for
us, or for the welfare of our communi
ty. You may talk about your Alliance
and other fraternal organizations, but
the best motto at last is to “love thy
neighbor as thyself.” Help those who
are trying to help themselves, and quit
villlfylng your neighbors because he
does not think as you do.
People complain that m one y is scare
in this country. One grand cause of
this scarcity is we don’t patronize our
home merchants and various industrial
enterprises but send to Atlanta and
other places for everything we need.
Money will al ways be scarce unless we
abnndon this abominable practice.
Good rains have fallen in the com
munity this week and crops of all kinds

Mrs. A. B. Hyde is yet quite sick.

Dr. John Starr has gone to Salt
Springs to spend the summer, and will

Hon. J. B. llunnicutt has my hearty
indorsement for Commissioner of Agri
culture. I am satisfied he would man
age the department economically, nnd
would not make the people pay for his
l>olitihal newspapers, ice tickets, sweet-
scented soaps etc., and that he would
not charge the State with the expense of
inspecting machinery that don’t belong
to the State, but to private individuals.
I believe, moreover, that Mr. Hunni-
cutt would hold the express companies
responsible for guano tags put in their
possession, and not make the poor in
spectors pay for his own carelessness,
when they never received the tags as
in the case of Inspector Howell. I
think Mr. Hunnicutt would be sure to
read and see that the proof-sheets of
his printed reports' were corrected be
fore he allowed them to be used as ev
idence.

Communicated.
Judge Leigh Replies to “Ripples.”
1 was rather surprised to see in the
last Herald and Advertiser another
attack by neighbor “Ripples.” In my
reply to his first attack I let him down
very easy, and kindly thought that
would be an end to it. This time he
makes nn issue of veracity between us
about the town clock, and I think he is
about the first man to reflect on my ve
racity. Hear him:
If I am not mistaken the County
Commissioners appropriated 8500 of the
lople’s money to pay for that clock-
wer, which Judge Leigh would have
the public believe was purchased en
tirely by the city of Newnan. No; ev-
sry tax-payer in the county paid for the
irivilege of turning their neads. and
ooking up at the city clock.”
Now, I want to give the information
gathered from Henry C. Arnall, who
was a member of the City Council at
the time the clock was put up. He in
forms me that not a dollar was paid by
the county for the clock aud tower, but
that the County Commissioners wanted
to put a lightning rod to the Court
house, and agreed to run it up the
clock-tower, for which the county paid,
without cost to the city. I sought Mr.
W. 13. Berry, who told me that at the
time of putting up the clock ho was
both a member of the City Council and
Board of County Commissioners, and
that the county paid for nothing but
the lightning rod, ns stated by Mr. Ar-
nal).
Now, Mr. Editor, I will leave to your
readers to decide who stated facts about
the payment of the clock—Judge Leigh
or “Ripples.” If neighbor “Ripples”
had not attacked my veracity I would
have had no reply to make to his last
article. It gives me pain to show up
neighbor “Ripples” in this light, but
there is a time when moderation cqases
to be a virtue. I cannot allow my ve
racity to be assailed by any one in the
newspapers and remain silent. In the
future neighbor “Ripples” may charge
me with anything in the catalogue of
crime, but I shall not condescend to re
ply. Benj. Leigh.
