NEWNAN, GA„ FRIDAY. MAY 19,
Another Old-Fashioned Loom.
I noticed in The Herald and Ad
vertiser last week that Mrs. Parrott,
of the Sixth district, had brought out
her old-fashioned loom, after having
discarded it thirty-four years ago,
and that in all probability it is the
only one of its kind now in use in the
county. Mrs. Mary Morgan, who
lives within half a mile of Senoia, has
never cast hers aside, but has been
using it steadily since she went to
housekeeping in the spring of 1846.
In the last few years she has woven
many beautiful counterpanes and
hundreds of yards of carpeting on it.
Although she has arrived at the ripe
age of 71 years, sbe still delights to
make cloth on the faithful old friend
of ante-bedum days.
All honor to these old mothers who
have fought so many hard battles,
and whose children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren now rise up
and call them blessed. Subscriber.

Sunday-School Excursion to Atlanta.
A week or so ago the Central Bap
tist Sunday-school decided to go on
an excursion to Atlanta and picnic at
Grant Park. An invitation was ex
tended to the other Sunday-schools
of the city to unite with the Central
Baptist and make a big day of it, and
all the schools have accepted the in
vitation.
The excursion will occur on Friday,
26tb inst., and a special train has been
secured'for the trip. The fare for the
round trip will be as follows: Adults,
75c.; persons under age, 40c. Tick
ets are on sale at the First National
Bank, the Newnan Banking Co
Murray’s Bookstore, C. F. Meyer,
J. T. Swint.
It will be necessary for the com
mittee of arrangements to know how
many people will go in order that a
sufficient number of coaches may be
provided to accommodate the crowd.
As the committee must have this, in
formation at least eighteen hours be
forehand, it is requested that parties
procure their tickets by noon of
Thursday, 25th inst.
The schools will be glad to have
their country friends join the excur
sion and share the pleasures of the
day with them.
The train will leave Newnan at 7:20
A. m. and return about 7 p. m.
Everybody is expected to carry a
basket. *

"RIPPLES.”
We have had little to say about
snakes this season, although they are
quite plentiful, and some are large as
well as long. Some of our boys killed a
couple of “coachwhips” the other day
that measured eight feet in length.
Like the rattlesnake, this species go
in pairs, and where you find one it is
more than likely that you will find its
mate.
We read Dr. Hepworth’s letter in
Sunday’s issue of the Atlanta Consti
tution nnd were much interested in
its perusal. We heard most of the
conversation in front of the Virginia
House, referred to in his article, and
don’t think he misquoted a single re
mark. We believe his visit to New
nan will have a good effect, and do
much to correct some of the false
notions that prevail among the peo
ple at the North.
The criminal statistics of Coweta,
7 from 1850 up to a short time ago,
\ show that there were between 125 and
150 homicides and murders in the
county, with but one legal execution
—that of Brinkley, the wife murderer.
One white man was sent to the peni
tentiary for killing a pegro. A negro
man, who is now living within a mile
of our home, killed a white man some
years ago and was acquitted by a
white jury. But one negro has ever
been legally executed in the county.
A few years ago a negro named Geo.
Favor was sentenced to hang for the
murder of another negro, but escaped
from jail before the day set for his ex
ecution and was never recaptured.
We make the above allusions merely
to show that the negro has always
gotten justice and been well treated
in this county. All industrious, law-
abiding negroes are respected by the
white people, and are in no danger of
molestation. Ail citizens who deport
themselves properly, whether white
or black, will receive the protection
of the law.
There will be preaching at Macedo
nia next Saturday and Sunday, the
pastor officiating.
Unless rain conies soon the oat crop
will be a failure.
Cotton is coming up slowly. Corn
is small for the time of year. Much
land that will be planted in corn has
not yet been broken, on account of
the drouth.
Mrs. Joe Boone has over 300 young
chickens, and we have been invited
down to sample them.
The Carroll county memorial sing
ing will occur on Saturday before the
first Sunday in June, at Salem church,
6 miles west of Carrollton. It will
hold two days.
The B. F. White memorial singing
will convene at Antioch church, near
Banning, on Saturday before the first
Sunday in July.
Bro. “Vanpelt” says he does not
believe the moon runs on the same
exact line all the time. Then she
must run on a double-track, eh?
We are glad to learn that Mr. An
derson Copeland is improving, and
that hopes are now entertained of bis
recovery.

Hotel Life In Wnahlnuctnn.
At breakfast the other morning i
Washington young woman found a lit
tle note at her plate saying that hei
aunt, had arrived from the east the night
before and was at a well known hotel.
About 9 o’clock she went to t.he hotel
indicated and asked the clerk whethei
the newcomer had been down to break
fast yet. The clerk informed her thal
he did not believe she had been down
and offered to send up a card.
“Oh. never mind doing that!" sin
replied. “You just tell me the mnubei
of her room, and I will go up."
“No. —, " promptly replied the clerk,
and the young woman took the elevator.
Upon arriving at the door of No. —.
instead of rapping, she softly put liei
ear to the door and listened in ordei
that she might not disturb her aunt ii
she were asleep. She heard no noise
and so took out one of her cards, and
after writing. “Will come again at 10—
Jane. “ she tied a little bunch of flowers
to it and left it on the knob, where it
would fall into the doorway when the
door was opened.
At 10 o'clock she came again. The
clerk had not seen her aunt and did not
believe that she had left her room. So,
after looking about the parlors in vain,
she went to the door of No. — and soft
ly tapped.
“Who is it?” came a gruff voice, and
at the same time a man opened the
door and stepped out into the hall.
"Oh. you are the party who was
coming again at Id. are youY" contin
ued tin* man smilingly “Well, what
can I do for you ?''
"Nothing, thank yon." site replied,
“unless you come down stairs and help
me thrash that hotel clerk." — Wash

Tile Poverty of Rome.
There is u terrible poverty in Rome,
of which the beggars who await yon at
every street corner are but too genuine
a sign The first gesture learned by the
children'of poor people in Rome is to
hold out their hands for alms. They be
gin when they are so young that they
can only totter, and they are still hold
ing.out their hands for alms when they
can only totter because they are so old.
Yet auother sign of it 1 find in the
8.000 cabmen of Rome, sitting hungrily
on their boxes, in their worm eaten fur
coats, too lazy to do anything but sit
there holding out their whips to solicit
every passer and unable to make a de
cent living even in a place so frequent
ed by strangers and a place where every
one drives. But even here, in these beg
gars and cabmen, is there not a certain
participation, at all events, in that
open air life which is the felicity of
Rome? “AbbiHiuo pazienzu." say the
poor people, and sit in the sun. —Ar

An intimate friend of Rear Admiral
John W. Philip tells the following anec
dote of the gallant naval officer: Though
Philip’s religious side hus been much
emphasized und commented on, he is a
determined man and will brook no op
position. Once when he was in charge
of the Pacific Mail steamer China he
carried two passengers of foreign na
tionality who persisted in smoking in
their staterooms during the hours when
smoking was prohibited. Philip, then
captain, called their attention to the
fact, but instead of heeding his warn
ing one answered him impudently.
Nothing further was said at the time,
but the next morning the offensive pas
senger was handcuffed to the upper
deck for three hours, nnd for the re
mainder of tile trip that particular per
son seemed to have lost all desire to in
dulge in back talk to the captain.
Mr. Robert Shugart visited the
family of his brother-in-law, Mr. A.
G. W. Foster, on Saturday and Sun
day last.
Miss Rnth Foster visited the family
of Mr. C. N. Baker on Saturday and
Sunday last.
Some of onr yonng people attended
a picnic on Line Creek last Saturday.

A Subtle Plea.
While Sir M. E. Grant-Duff was gov

posed a fine on a native Christian. The
latter hud no lawyer to defend him, but
he put in the following remarkable
plea "Your honor may be right. I may
be wrong : i may be right, honor wrong.
Let honor' give me back the fine, and
then at day of resurrection, when all
hearts will be open, if 1 am wrong I
will most gladly, sir. return yonr honor

R Word
to Doctors
We have the highest regard for the
medical profession. Our preparations
are not sold for the purpose of antagon
izing them, .but rather as ati aid. We
lay it down as an established truth that
internal remedies are positively injuri
ous to expectant mothers. The distress
and discomforts experienced during the
months preceding childbirth can he al
leviated only by external treatment—by
applying a linimegt that softens and re
laxes the over-strained muscles. We
make and sell such a liniment, com
bining the ingredients in a manner
hitherto unknown, and call it
Mother s Friend
We know that in thousands of cases
It has proved more than a blessing to
expectant mothers. It overcomes morn
ing sickness. It relieves the sense of
tightness. Headaches cease, and dan
ger from .Swollen, Hard and Rising
Breasts is avoided. Labor itself is
shortened and shorn of most of thepnin.
We know that many doctors recom
mend it, and we know that multitudes
of women go to the drug stores and buy
it because they are sure their physicians
have no objections. We ask a trial-
just a fair test. There is no possible
chance o' injury being the result, be-
ca'ise Mother’s Friend is scientific
ally compounded. It is sold at$i a bot
tle, and should be used during most of
the period of gestation, although great
relief is experienced if used only a short
time before childbirth. Send for our il
lustrated book about Mother's Friend.
