through both the literary and law de

predict for him, wherever he may lo
cate, a bright and successful career.

condition. The corn prospect is equal
ly flattering.

Judge J. B. Ware, of Corinth, gave
us a pleasant call Friday. “You may
just prepare yourself for something
fine,” said he; “we are going to ha«
a fair at Corinth in October that will
be worth seeing. We will have two
days this time, and last year’s exhibit
will be laid far in the shade.” Having
seen the splendid exhibit last year, the
News man was convinced that if it was
beaten Corinth would have to “get up
and dust,” and it would certainly be
worth seeing. Their fair last year
would have done credit to'many coun
ties.— Franklin News.
The telephone line between Newnan
and Atlanta, just completed, is the
longest long-distance line in the State.
The distance is forty miles, and yet
sounds are transmitted so distinctly
and accurately as to be easily under
stood. The Herald and Advertis
er enjoyed a pleasant chat of five min
utes yesterday afternoon with Hon
Clarke Howell, of the Atlanta Consti
tution, and as his familiar tones came
scudding over the line we could almost
see his gestures as he spoke. It will be
a great convenience to tho business
men of Newnan and Atlanta, and we
have no doubt will be liberally patron
ized from both ends of the line.
Hon. W. B. Berry, member of the
District Congressional Executive Com
mittee for Coweta county, went down
to Columbus on Monday afternoon last
to attend a meeting of the committee,
which had been called to arrange the
time and place for holding the Congres
sional Convention. As will be seen from
the published proceedings elsewhere,
the convention will be held at La-
Grange, on Wednesday, July 30. Mr.
Berry was in favor of a later date, nnd
so recommended to tne committee, but
his proposition was voted down. Mr.
Grimes’ friends are in the majority on
the committee, and theer is no question
but that an early convention was called
in his interest. Will the scheme suc
ceed? We shall see.
Mrs. Woodroof, whoso splendid de
scription of the amateurs’ entertain
ment on the evening of the 6th inst.
has been so much enjoyed by our read
ers, regrets her misapprehension of
those representing two of the charac
ters in Tennyson’s "Dream of Fair Wo
men.” Miss Minnie North appeared as
‘Joan of Arc,” Miss Frezil Caldwell m
'Queen Eleanor,” while Miss Fannie
Divine did not appean in the tableaux
at all. The performers were so com
pletely transformed into the characters
represented it is a decidod compliment
that she failed to recognize familiar
faces. She makes the above explana
tion as the amende honorable, and trans
fers with pleasure the meed of honor
to those who so richly deserve it. Hers
was not tho only head turned by the
brilliant tableaux.

The Democratic mass meeting called
for Monday afternoon last to give prop
er and fitting indorsement to the candi
dacy of Hon. J. B. Hunnicutt for the
office of Commissioner of Agriculture,
was well attended.
Rev. W. F. S. Powell was called to
the chair and Mr. T. C. Hardy request
ed to act as secretary.
The object of the meeting was ex
plained, when, on motion of Hon. W.
Y. Atkinson, a committee of five was

commendatory of Mr. Ilunnicutt’s can
didacy, to-wit: V. B. Ingram, L. T.
Moses, J. II. Wynn, W. S. McDonald,

At 9:20 o’cloek r. m., June 11, 1800,
the spirit of Pleasant O. Collins worth
took ita flight to a happier clime. He
pasted over the river peacefully, quiet
ly—
"Llko ono who wraps the drapery of Ills oniioli
About him and llos down to ploasantdroains.”
He had been slok for a long while,
and his suffering, at times, was intense;
yet, like the Christian he was, he bore
it all uncomplainingly.
He came to Grantville more than
twenty years ago, to accept a position
with Garrett A Hollars, with which firm
he remained for fourteen years, and
then embarked in business for himself,
with Mr. J. F. Lovojoy as partner. In
October, 1888, the store-house and en
tire stock of merchandise of Collins-
worth & Lpvejoy was destroyed by fire.
Mr. Collinsworth never fully recovered
from tho shock, yet ho commenced bus
iness alone in January, 1889, but ou ac
count of ill health ho sold out in tho
fall of the sumo year.
Ho was a true Confederate soldier,
and was In the cavalry service in the
Tennessoe army.
He was for many years an official
member of the Baptist church nnd su
perintendent of the Sunday-school; he
was a member of the Board of Commis
sioners of Roads and Revonuo of Cow
eta county; ho was a member of the
bonrd of trustees of Grantville High
School, and a member of tho town
council of Grantville. In all these po-
sitions he came up to the full meusure
of his duties, We will all miss him. The
church, which he loved so much, will
miss him; tho Sunday-school, in which
he took so much delight, will miss him;
the members of the Board of Commis
sioners of llouds and Revenue, of
which lie was a faithful and efficient
member, will miss him; the trustees oI
our High School, in which ho took great
interest, will iniss him; the towu coun
cil, in their semi-monthly meetings, will
misB him; the poor and tho sick, for
whom ills great heart beat in sympathy,
will miss him;—yea, we will nil miss
him, hut none so much as the broken
hearted widow and the eight fatherless
children. Our loss Is great, but theirs
infinitely more so. May He who has
promised to be ”a husband to the wid
ow, and a father to the fatherless,” be
even so to these disconsolate ones.
lie died as he lived—a Christian. On
the Sabbath preceding his death the
writer, in company with Rev. J. B. 8.
Davis, called to see him, and while very
weak, he endoavored to talk, and in re
ply to the question propounded by Mr.
Davis, “What amount of money would
you take for your hope?” he replied
with emphasis, “That is not for sale I”
Hope!—hope of eternal life! With this
hope of the Christian, how peacefully
he approached the gravel Death had
no terrors for him. He leaned on a
Strong Arm, and thus he entered the
valley of the shadow of death, fearing
no evil, but as sweetly and as peaceful
ly as a child falls to sleep on its moth
er’s bosom, so he gently fell “asleep
in Jesus.’’
The funeral sermon was preached by
llev. J. B. 8. Davis, from the text: “We
love Him, because He first loved us”
which had been selected by the de
ceased. The sermon was fraught with
select thoughts for the living; nothing
which tho preacher could say would be
aught to the loved dead; bis character
was finished; his race was run; his life-
work was ended;—he had fought the
great fight; he hod kept the faith.
At the conclusion of the sermon, and
while tho bereaved family and sorrow
ing friends were weeping over tho dead,
there fell a sudden shower of rain, as if
angels of heaven were hovering over
the solemn scene, weeping with those
who wept. I’rof. Win. Wells presided
at the organ, and the soft, sweet music
added greatly to the solemnity and im
pressiveness of the occasion.
The pall-bearers were T. E. Zellars,
R. I. Sewell, P. J. Sewell, W. G. Sadler,
J. R. Cotton, and Geo. A. Carter.
Among the friends who came
from a distance to pay their last sad
tribute of respect to the dead were
