year, will regret to hear that she has
decided to leave Newnan and locate

NEWNAN, CA., FRIDAY, JUNE 9.
LOCALS BROUGHT FORWARD.
Supt. Woodward will go directly to
Athens next Thursday to place before
the Trustees of the University a reso
lution passed by the State Teachers’
Association last summer, asking that
regular summer sessions in graduate
study be held by that institution for
the special benefit of the teachers of
the State. Supt. Woodward is the
author of the resolution and chair
man of tl)e committee from the as
sociation. Prof. W. M. Slaton, Bro.
J. M. Pound, Superintendents Law-
ton Evans, Careton Gibson and W. 0.
Wright are the other members of the
committee.
The committee in charge of the
recent excursion to Grant Park found
that, after defraying all expenses,
they had a balance of $1(52 left. Mr.
M. P. Cole, chairman of the commit
tee, suggested that the amount be ex
pended in the purchase of an organ
for the Central Baptist Sunday-
school. This was agreed to, and on
Monday last Mrs. E. S. Buchanan,
Mrs. Mattie Strickland and Mr. Roy
Cole went to Atlanta for the purpose
of selecting a suitable instrument.
They bought a very nice one, and
upon arrival it will be installed in the
Sunday-school room of the Central
Baptist church.
At the meetiug of the kindergar
ten section of the Educational Leagues
last Friday evening, an interest
ing paper was read by Miss Willette
Allen, a successful kindergarten
teacher of Atlanta. Mrs. Bunnie
Johnson, also of Atlanta, spoke of
the “helpfulness to mothers of the
kindergarten,” her remarks being
highly enjoyed by all present. Messrs.
J. 0. Woodward and Habersham King
made brief talks, also, which were to
the point and thoroughly instructive.
The music of the evening was furnish
ed by Misses Minnie Hunter and Ridy
Powell, two of Newnan’s talented
young musicians.
Under the direction of Miss M&ttie
Reid Robinson the Newnan Library
rooms have undergone a thorough
cleaning this week, and they now pre
sent a much neater appearance. The
books have all been rearranged and
classified, and more th: n ordinary in
terest is being taken by the members
of the association in the further im
provement of the service. From the
ice cream supper given last Saturday
evening enough money was realized
•to put in some new shelving, which
will be needed when the new boobs
arrive. It is a good sign to see the
young people of a community taking
an active interest in such a worthy
and useful enterprise.
Mr. E.~m7 Hudson has exchanged
hU residence in Newnan for a house
and lot in West End, Atlanta, Mrs. H.
8. Smith being the transferee. Mr. and
Mrs. Hudson will take up their resi
dence in Atlanta, having made ar
rangements to leave Newnan next
week. Mr. Hudson is a member of the
wholtsile grocery firm of H. Y. Mc
Cord Co.,, and the change of resi
dence is rendered necessary by the
demands of his business, his duties
requiring his presence in the count
ing-room each day. We regret to
lose this excellent couple, and trust
that we may be able ultimately to re
claim them.
One of the most interesting features
of the commencement exercises next
week will be the concert given under i
the direction of Miss Jessie Reese, |
the popnlar and efficient teacher of
music. Misses Hattie Jones, Jimmie j
Lou Thompson and Mr. T. M. Good- j
rum will take part in the concert,
and, in addition, she has secured
the services of Prof. Frosolin,
the distinguished violinist of Atlanta.
The entire programme has been care
fully arranged, and every lover of
mnsic will have an opportunity of en
joying a splendid entertainment. The
concert will begin promptly at 7:30
o’clock. Tickets will be on sale at
Reese’s drug store. Reserved seats
v 35c; general admission, 25c.

Although a soure'e of deep sirrow
and sadness to his numerous friends,
the death of Mr. W. D, Leigh, which
occurred at his homo in this city on
Sunday night lust, was not unexpec
ted. Several years ago he suffered a
stroke of paralysis, since when he 1ms
been practically bedridden. Lust
week he began to fail rapidly, and it
became apparent that he couid not
long survive. Thus, while his family
and friends were forewarned of the
sad event, they were none the less
grieved when the final summons
came. Deceased was 80 years of age,
and one of Newnan’s oldest citizens.
The funeral took place from the resi
dence Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock,
services being conducted by his pas
tor, Dr. W. F. Cook. The remains
were interred in the family burying-
ground two miles north of the city.
Ex-Gov. Atkinson runs up from
his home at Newnan occasionally and
mingles with his Atlanta friends. He
is always the center of an interested
group when he chances in at the Kim
ball. Just now he is addressing him
self seriously to the practice of law,
and is rapidly regaining the clientage j
that he had to give up when he as
sumed the office of Governor. A few
days ago he was employed to assist
the prosecution in an important mur
der case at Vernon, Fla., in which
ex-Chief Justice Lytton and other
eminent lawyers of the State were ar
rayed on the opposite side. That the
Governor succeeded in convicting the
accused man where extensive family
Influences and other adverse condi
tions were weighed against him, is
pretty good evidence that he has not
lost his power to sway men. It is
understood that he received a hand
some fee in the ease.—[Atlanta Cor.

Stanford-Gibson.
The marriage of Mr. Robert L.
Stanford to Miss Hattie Gibson was
solemnized at the home of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. T. Gib
son, on Tuesday evening last, Dr. J.
H. Hall officiating. Besides the im
mediate relatives of the bride and
groom, only a few friends were pres
ent to witness the ceremony, which
was a quiet affair. The bride is one
of Newnan’s most refined and cul
tured young ladies, and greatly be
loved by all who know her. The
groom is equally esteemed in the
community for his sterling traits and
genial personality, and is being warm -
ly congratulated on all sides as one of
the latest and most popular accessions
to the benedictine ranks. The per
sonal popularity of the bride was at
tested by the large number of hand
some and costly presents received.
After the ceremony the guests en
joyed a delightful wedding repast.
The young couple have the best
wishes of a wide circle of friends,
who congratulate them most hoartily
upon the consummation of the happy
event which has thus united their
lives and fortunes.
Newnan Public Schools.
By invitation of Superintendent
Woodward, we spent a few hours this
week visiting the city public schools,
which are now closing up their year’s
work. Few of our citizens have ft
clear conception of this important
part of our social and community life,
and, without attempting to describe
the work as presented, or to explain
the principles and methods involved,
we would urge our citizens to visit
the schools and see for themselves
what, is being done for and by their
children. To move among the pupils
and teachers and observe the happy,
genial spirit dominating the conduct
of all, is clear proof that the hearts of
the children are being carefully culti
vated. The excellent work in all the
departments of study—much of it
written and ready to be inspected by
parents and friends, much of it oral
and done every day—indicates the
'thorough mental training and devel
opment of the pupils. Some of the
most remarkable work which we had
the pleasure of seeing was the “nature
study.” The walls of the rooms are
covered with charts, showing wide
research in the life and products of
our environments, as worked out by
these young minds and hands. Super
intendent Woodward tells us that he
expects to exhibit some of this work
at the University of Chicago this year,
and have it inspected by the leading
educators of America. Some of the
most prpminent teachers of Georgia
have pronounced it without an equal
in their experience.
If the reader has not visited the
schools let him do so at once. Super
intendent Woodward and the teachers
will welcome all visitors, and take
pleasure in explaining the system and
methods of instruction employed.
We were deeply impressed with the
thoroughness of the work done, the
happy spirit prevailing in the school
room, and the earnestness and sym
pathy which the teachers show in
their work.
Hon. H. A. Hall at Buena Vista.
We were somewhat previous last
week in stating that Hon. H. A. Hall
had gone to Macon to deliver the an
nual address before the literary so
cieties of Mercer University. He was
at Buena Vista, where he delivered a
commencement address that has since
been the talk of the town. It is thus
referred to by the Buena Vista cor
respondent of the Macon Telegraph,
to-wit:
“Next in order was the annual ad
dress by Hon. H. A. Hall, of New
nan, which was one of the moBt bril
liant ever heard here, and, as for that
matter, one that it would seem an
impossibility to excel. He was in
troduced to the audience as one from
the home of Congressmen and Gov
ernors, and very appropriate It was,
for well could he fill either place,
with credit to himself and to his
countrymen. As was recently said of
another, from his lips pretty gems
of rhetoric flowed like a brook over
the pebbles without a break. And it
thrilled hie hearers with the loftiest
sentiments of life, and lashed them
stronger than ever to the duties and
.responsibilities that lie out before
them, and gave to the students an
ark that will withstand the assaults
of all enemies and the rales that will
lend to them in all life to come inef
fable happiness.”

Brilliant Wedding.
More than one hundred guests as
sembled at the elegant home of Mr.
and Mrs. W. W. Draper, Cone street,
Atlanta, Ga., to witness the marriage
of Mr. Henry Harvey North of New
nan to Miss Mary Draper. The scene
of the wedding was the home of the
parents of the accomplished young
bride and while it was in some re
spects a quiet home marriage, yet the
elegant and elaborate decoratious, and
the large number of gneBts from dif
ferent cities of the South marks this
occasion ns a brilliant socinl event,
even for the capital city of the State.
Oil the morning previous and on the
last train leading into the city from
Newnan, a large number of the per
sonal friends and relatives, including
tho parents of tho groom, were car
ried.
The Draper home is one of the
most elegant in the city of Atlanta
and on this occasion tho spacious
drawing-rooms parlors and dining
halls, with their decorations of ferns
and sweet peas in nil their varied
tints artistically arranged lighted by
green pink and white tapers in silver
candelabra; thiH house was striking
ly beautiful.
Tile guests had assembled promptly
by the appointed time and exnctly at
8:30 o’clock, Rev. C. P. Bridewell
performed the marriage ceremony by
u combination of beautifully express
ed thoughts, which impressed all
present. In the spacious dining hall,
after tho marriage ceremony, around
a large circular table handsomely or
namented in the center with a beauti
ful basket of sweet pea blossoms,
with clusters of these fragrant blos
soms here and there on the table,
there assembled at this, the brides
table, the bride and groom, brides
maids, groomsmen and ushers. Miss
Bessie Draper was maid of honor and
Miss Nellie Phillips Miss Louise Ash
ford, Miss Annie Wood, of Gaffney,
S. C., and Miss Clara North, of New
nan, were bridesmaids, Mr. James P.
Bradley, of NewnAn, was best ,man,
and Mr. Raph Powell, Mr. Nick North
Mr. Robert Draper and Mr. W. P.
Gearreld were groomsmen. The ushers
were Mr. Wilmer More and Mr. Will
McKee. Elegant music was furnished
by Worms orchestra.
Miss Draper became acquainted
with Mr. North throe years past dur
ing one of her visits to friends in
Newnan. What at first was a strong
friendship finally ripened into love,
culminating into a marriage which
will necessarily prove to be a happy
one. Mrs. North will not come to
Newnan aa a stranger, but she will
be welcomed to a large circle of ad
miring friends who have learned to
admire her many admirable traits of
character. She is highly educated
and accomplished, having completed
her education in Boston, whero she
graduated with distinction. Her
numerous friends in Newnan will be
glad to welcome her.
Mr. Henry Harvey North, cashier
of the First National Bank is so well
knowh to the readers of The Herald
and Advertiser as a fine business
man—a man who lias the confidence
of all good citizens in the community,
that any commendation of him is un
necessary. The union of two such
lives will always prove a blessing.
The numerous, handsome and cost
ly presents attested a degree of pop
ularity throughout the State that is
seldom experienced by young married
people.
Tiie bride and groom left the city at
12 o’clock for Asheville, N. C. After
remaining there several daj's.and vis
iting other points of interest they will
return to Newnan where thoy will be
at homo to their friends at the resi
dence of Mr. Roy N. Cole.
