NEWNAN, GA.. FRIDAY, JUNE 2.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS,
GRANTVILLE.
On Friday afternoon last wo en
joyed one of the liveliest parties of
base ball that hns been played here
ibis season. It was a homo affair,
the professional nine under the man
agement of It. O. Jones being on one
side, and the second nine organized 1
by It. F. Brannon under the name of
“Brannon’s Rounders,” being on the
other. The game was called at 3:30
o’clock. Tlie “professionals” led off
and made severnl scores, but owing
to the shrewd playing of the “round
ers” the “professionals” became so
badly rattled that we doubt whether
they could have hit a ball with a bow
of blue ribbon and a base fiddle tied
to it. The score was 11 to 10 in favor
of ‘‘Brannon’s Rounders.”
The addition to the hosiery mill is
nearing completion. We understand
that the mill will be operated day and
night, in order to supply the demand
for it* goods.
Arrangements are being made for
the erection of an oil mill nt this
place, which we believe will be a
profitable enterprise.
Laat .Saturday morning about 4
o’clock Marshal Beavers and Deputy
Marshal Smith captured Henry Oates,
colored, who was charged with larce
ny, burglary and forgery. Oates had
been scouting about for several
months, and had made numerous
threats as to what he would do for
anybody who attempted to arrest
him. The officers spotted him Friday
night at the home of his father-in-
law, and they went at daybreak Sat
urday morning to effect his capture.
Marshal Beavers rapped on the front
door and called. Oates made a break
through the back door, where Smith
was stationed with a No. 32 Winches
ter rifle. Smith ordered him to stop,
bnt instead of heeding the warning
Oates threw out his hand ns if in the
act of shooting. Smith, knowing of
tba thrents that the negro had made,
concluded to make quick work with
bia rifle, and promptly opened tire on
tbe negro. The bnll entered the right
hip, dislocating it and crushing the
bone. He will be placed in jail ns
soon as it shall be deemed prudent to
move him.

The loss of the oat crop is quite a
calamity on the farmers. In fact,
farming prospects generally are by
no means bright. Stands of cotton
are generally poor, while a good deal
of corn land has not yet been broken
for planting. The Irish potato crop
is a failure, and the sweet potato crop
is a month late.
We regret to learn that Dr. Jacob
Starr, of Cedar Creek district, has
become entirely helpless. He was
partinlly paralyzed some yenrs ago,
and is now helplessly bedridden. His
numerous friends sympathize with
him in his misfortune.
Mr. Anderson Copeland, of Panther
(.‘reek district, is much improved, and
his friends hope soon to see him out
again.

Last Friday was court-day in the
756th diatrict, G. M., and quite a
novel point was sprung on the pre
siding J. P. It was a claim case, and
the mnin question involved was at
what age does a pig become a shote,
and st what age does a shote become
a hog. The court held up its decision
in order to gain time to read the opin
ions of the Supreme Court, as he
can’t find any law to fit the case.
Would say to our musical friends at
St. Charles and Powelville that we
will endeavor to be with them at their
singing appointments, provided all
things work together to this end—
which includes the completion of a
pair of new breeches, now in process
of construction.
We enjoy these singing conven
tions, and frequently put ourself to
inconvenience in trying to attend
them. It appears to us thAt much of
the church music of the present day
is deficient in melody and spirituality
anyway. The harmony that emanated
from the old-time log meeting-house
was ahead of anything:.that we hear
in this day and generation. They say
this is a day of improvement, but we
are quite sure the improvement does
not extend to church music.

two distinguished religious bodies at
about the same time.
Capt. Bob Perkins was thrown from

gramme, which was creditably carried
out in all its features, brief and edi
fying talks were given by Prof. H. L.
Culpepper, of Grantviile High School,

Echoes from the Spanish Class.
The Spanish Class considers itself
fortunate in having a tutor so emi
nently qualified to teach the language
ns Mr. Salbide hns proven himself to
bo. It may be said without fear of
successful contradiction that no city
tbe Bize of Newnan has a native
Spaniard so well verBed in all the
subtleties of the beautiful Spanish
language.
The class is composed of Dr. F. I.
Welch, Milton Glover, Glenn Burpee,
Aubrey Fuller, Ernest Powell, E. S.
Buchanan, It. B. TuftB, John Blount,
Roliin Dews, C. M. Speer and S. M.
Speer. The following gentlemen
speak of joining the class in a few
days: Harvey North, Jim Arnold,
Charlie Farmer, Dr. J. It. Dykes, Dr.
Tlios. Cole, Capt. J. S. Powell, Frank
Stephens, and Dr. J. T. Wester.
The class evinces much enthusiasm
because of the wonderful proficiency
that it lias acquired in pronouncing
Spanish. They find the language
very simple and easily learned, and
the pronounciatiou is acquired readi
ly. The pupils will soon have become
sufficiently proficient in Spanish to
make themselves readily understood
in common conversation. S.

Many Have Shown Their
Appreciation
Of the numberless specials we spoke of last week by giving us their patronage. Many new as
well as familiar faces have been seen in our store, and if rich bargains, accompanied with
courteous treatment, weigh with you for mutual benefit, you are ours for all time to come. To
those who have never dealt with us, we ask that you give us a trial, feeling confident that we
will merit your patronage.
This week we will devote our space to our Groceries; but don’t think, on account of
this, that we will discontinue our dry goods slaughter. We have added largely to our line, and
you will find the same seasonable specialties we mentioned last week.
IN COFFEE—You will find thirteen different varieties to select from, with prices from
50c. per pound down. We will mention only three of the above—
The 15c. kind; good, sound green Coffee, 10c. per pound, or 1 1 lbs. for $1.
Our famous “J. K., No. 2;” every grain pure, and uniform in size, which we have han
dled exclusively for 20 years ; we offer now 6 lbs. for $1.
A special Java and Mocha, put up neatly in the original 2-lb. cans; really worth 33c.;
we offer it at 40c. per can, or 20c. per pound.
Nothing is more harmful or debilitating than a cup of coffee made from damaged coffee,
and nothing is so pleasing and invigorating as a good cup of breakfast coffee.
We always carry an assortment of staple canned goods, such as Corn, Tomatoes, Sal
mon, Sardines, etc.
IN SUGAR.—We handle only the product of the old refineries. Their granulated Su
gar is whiter and finer than that of any other refinery.
For Iced Tea or Hot Tea we can suit you. We can furnish you special Chinese,
India or Ceylon Teas for only 50c. per pound.
We are wholesale jobbers in Soap, and, representing some of the largest manufacturers,
we are always on the ground floor with the wholesale as well as the retail trade.
Our Heavy Grocery room is unusually full, and you will always find it to your interest
to examine and price the indispensable necessities of this department. You can find Hay.
Corn, Oats, (white, chipped or sifted,) Bran, Feed and Shipped Stuff, Corn Hearts, Meal, Flour,
Syrup, Vinegar, Bacon, Hams, Lard in bulk or 10 and 20 pound buckets.
In conclusion we desire to add a word about our Buggies. They are made by the
oldest and most leliable manufacturers, and each Buggy is sold on a positive guarantee, if
you want a Buggy, or set of single or double Harness, come to see us and you will carry it
home.
