Citizens of Newnan who have tried

lease its bold and fall into the vessel,

If this is done once a week the plants
will not be damaged by the bugs.

Interest in the revival services at
the First Baptist church, which have
been in progress nearly two weeks,
has not abated in the least. Rev.
Malcolm MacGregor has been preach
ing with wonderful power, and there
have been quite a number of acces
sions to the membership. The at
tendance is large at each service, and
the seating capacity of the church is
taxed to the utmost. It is likely that
the meeting will continue throughout
the coming week.
In our report last week of the en
tertainment given for the benefit of
the Young Men’s Prayer Association
one of the very best features was,
through oversight or inadvertence,
omitted. We refer to the Grecian
drill by twelve young ladies, directed
by Mrs. T. M. Thompson. Both the
conception and the effect were
thoroughly artistic, while the specta
cular features were quite new and
picturesque. It was very much en
joyed, and cannot be too highly
praised.

mittee is an honor of which he may

The commencement sermon was
preached by that able divine, Rev S.
R. C. Adams, of Newnan. His text
was: “He that believeth not shall be
damned.” It would bo impossible with
our limited space to even give a syn
opsis of the sermon. Mr. Adams said
‘that unbelief was the mother of sin;
that it was the great sin of the age in
which we live; thnt it was the sin of
sins.” Unbelief was the central
thought ot his discourse. Many pro
nounce it the beHt sermon that they
ever heard on a similnr occasion.—

day from Dnhlonega, whither ho went
a few duyH ago to visit his aged moth
er, Mrs. Caroline E. Goodrum. The
death of this good woman occurred
laBt Saturday, at the advanced age of
79. Capt. Goodrum was fortunate
enough to reach her bedside two days
before her death, and, more fortunate
still, she was rational until the last.
About a year ago she made a visit to
Newnan, und was preparing to make
another visit when she was taken ill,
about ten days ngo. Tho remains
were interred in the Duhlonega cem
etery. Capt. Goodrum and family
have the sympathies of tho entire
community in their sad affliction.
Mrs. Geo. R. Sponcler went up to
Gainesville on Monday last to attend
the commencement exercises of the
Georgia Femule Seminary, where her
daughter, Miss Ray, has been in
school the past year. Miss Ray was
a competitor for the handsome piano
offered by the faculty oh a prize for
proficiency in music. She was the
youngest of the competitors, and, in
the opinion of some of the judges,
was entitled to 'second honor. It was
finally awarded to another, although
Miss Ray was highly complimented
on all sides. Referring to the stand
that she took in the contest, the
Gainesville correspondent of the At
lanta Constitution says:
“Next to Miss Williams, enthusias
tic congratulations are being showered
upon Miss Ray Sponcler, who was the
youngest of the contestants, and who,
it is reported, held Becond place in
the estimation of the judges.”
Miss Ray returned home Wednes
day afternoon.
A Day at Grant Park.
The-Sunday-Hchool excursion to At
lanta on Friday last proved to be a
most enjoyable affair. About four
hundred tickets were sold, the weath
er was delightful, and the dinner was
all that could have been desired—in
variety and excellence as well as in
quantity.
Upon arriving at Atlanta the ex
cursionists were transported to the
park on street cars, and upon reach
ing these beautiful grounds they gave
themselves up unreservedly to the
enjoyments of the day. There were
no speeches, and no formalities of
any sort.
Gov. Candler drove out at noon
and took dinner with the party. In
the afternoon he held an informal re
ception on the grounds, and met a
large number of the Newnan people,
The party returned to Newnan
about 7 o’clock.
Fine Ball Game.
The game of base ball on Saturday
last, between Newnan and the Tech,
nine of Atlanta, was thoroughly en
joyed by the participants and the
large crowd that witnessed it. While
the playing was not up to the profes
sional standard, yet many good plays
were made, and the enthusiasm lasted
until the close of the ninth iuDing.
The score stood 8 to 5 In favor of the
visitors. Dr. A. W. Wimblsh um
pired the game, to tho thorough satis
faction of both teams.
Misses May McCrary and Fannie
Allen, two visiting young ladies from
Calvert, Texas, were chosen as spon
sors for the Newnan boys. With a
bright red rosette pinned to each, and
accompanied by Messrs. Hal Fisher
and Jim Arnold, they presented a
charming appearance in Mr. Fisher’s
elegant trap, which was likewise gor
geously bedecked in red.
The utmost good feeling prevailed
throughout the game, and the visitors
were cordially congratulated on their
success. When the Newnan boys get
in better practice they hope to re
trieve the game lost to the Techs.
Miss M. T. Holsenbake, Harlem,
Ga., writes: “Dr. M. A. Simmons
Liver Medicine did me more good
than anything I ever used for Torpid
Liver. I think it far excels Zeilin’s
and Black Draught in strength and
< mildness of action.”
