NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY, OCT. 12.
LOCALS BROUGHT FORWARD.
Mr. J. R. McCollum has gathered
forty wagon loads of corn from his
patch of thirteen acres at McCollum.
He estimates that each load contained
eighteen bushels, making a total yield
of 720 bushels, or nbout fifty-four
bushels per acre. He has several
times produced a much greater yield
than this on a few acres, and his in
tensive method is a lesson of much
practical utility to the farmers of the
county.
Many Coweta farmers have begun
preparations to sow wheat and oats.
Experience has taught them that the
successful farmer always raises his
supplies at home regardless of the
price of cotton. It has also been
demonstrated that wheat and oats
can be successfully grown in Coweta
county every year if proper care is
exercised in the selection of seed and
in the preparation and fertilization of
the soil.
The foundation of the new building
of the Newnan Cotton Mills has been
laid and work begun on the brick
walls. The contractors expect to
complete the building some time be
fore next March. The machinery or
dered will include 15,000| spindles,
making a total of 24,000 spindles for
the combined mills. When the mills
are in operation they will consume
a great part of the cotton marketed
in Newnan.
On Sunday afternoon at 5 o’clock,
Rev. J. M. White officiating, Mr. S.
J. Pate was united in marriage to
Miss Beulah Broadwater at the home
of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
D. W. Broadwater. The young couple
will make their future home in New
nan. Each of the contracting parties
are well-known in the community
and have the congratulations and
well-wishes of a large number of rel
atives and friends.
An entertainment was given in Se-
noia last Tuesday evening for the
benefit of the Ladies Aid Society of
the Baptist church. A programme of
some length, containing both literary
and musical features, was rendered by
home talent in a manner to reflect
much credit upon|all who participated.
A small admission fee was charged
and the sum of twenty-two dollars
was raised, which will be donated to
the new church fund.
The Crawford Shoe Co., of Brock
ton, Mass., has adopted a novel ad
vertisement of their popular line of
shoes. Two handsome young ladies
Misses Melvill and Bailee, are making
a tour of the cities on wheels, with
the words “Crawford Shoes” painted
in large red letters on their light gray
skirts. When these young ladies
reached Newnan last Monday morn
ing, a few of the bachelors and young
men received red . letter impressions
which time cannot erase.
A letter to Dr. P. R. Holt from his
son, Frank, who resides near Monte
zuma, Ga., states: “I made 149 bales
of cotton with five plows last year,
and expect to make as large a yield
this year.” Mr. Holt is a successful
farmer of South Georgia and states
that “my success is due to the fact
that I raise all my supplies at home.”
The farmers in the vicinity of Monte
zuma did not experience the dry
weather that affected the crops in al
most every other section of the cot
ton belt.
The report of the finance commit
tee of the Methodist church is a very
creditable one this year, showing that
the church has raised more than $4,-
000 inclading the pastor’s salary
which will be paid in full, and all of
the church assessments. Daring the
year, the church building and parson
age have received new coats of paint
and other necessary repairs have
been made. The past year has been
a successful one and onr good Metho
dist brethren have not failed to “give
as the Lord has prospered them.”
Card of Thanks.
Please allow me space in your col
umns to express to my friends and
neighbors my grateful acknowledge
ment of their great kindness and
sympathy, so generously and tender
ly rendered me and mine in our re
cent sickness and trying bereave-
m?nt. J. T. Upshaw.
At the close of the services at the
Central Baptist church last Sunday
Dr. J. H. Hall read a letter from the
Baptist church at Galveston, stating
that their church was destroyed in
the recent flood and asked the assis
tance of the Central church. The
sum of $38.00 has been raised by the
membership of the church during
the week and forwarded to Galveston.
No doubt similar appeals are being
made to all the other churches
throughout the State, and all will con
tribute liberally to this worthy cause.
Public attention is called to the
Newnan library, which is open for in
spection Wednesdays and Saturdays,
in the afternoons from 2:30 to 6:30,
and in the evenings from 7:30 to 9:30
o’clock. In a city the size of Newnan
a much larger membership of the Li
brary Association should be enrolled.
Every public-spirited citizen of the
city should adcl his name to the list of
members. Miss Mattie Reid Robin
son, the efficient librarian, cordially
invites the public to inspect the long
list of valuable books which the mem
bers are permitted to carry to their
homes and read.
Mr. M. D. Thurmond, who resides
near Powelville, was circulating
among the citizens of Newnan last
Wednesday endeavoring to raise
funds to erect a new church building
near his home, in the Seventh dis
trict. On the first of last April the
good people of that community or
ganized Rock Springs Baptist church,
with a membership of fifteen. Since
then the number has increased to
forty-two. During the spring and
summer months services have been
held in the school house—a building
utterly inadequate for the large con
gregation wiio attend. Those who
contribute to this fund will help a
good cause.
The farmers of Coweta county are
largely increasing their use of im
proved farm implements. We learn
from the merchants that the increase
in the sale of mowers, reapers, bind
ers and shredders has increased more
than fifty per cent, during the past
year. Messrs. M. G. and J. J. Keith,
alone, have sold more than three car
loads of labor saving machinery. Far
mers in every section of the county
are testing the new shredders with a
view to their adoption. On Thursday
one of these machines was operated
by Mr. Charlie Sewell at Sargent, on
yesterday by Mr. Bonnett SauderH of
Roscoe. To-morrow Mr. A. 8. Jones
will give it a thorough test on his
farm near Turin. The farmers of
Coweta are as intelligent as can be
found anywhere on earth, and they
are fast adopting improved methods
and improved implements.
The marriage of Mr. Robert A.
Farmer, of Atlanta, to Miss Mary
Goodwyn, was solemnized at the
First Baptist church last Wednesday
night at 8 o’clock, Rev. J. B. 8. Davis
officiating, assisted by Rev. 8. R. C.
Adams. Mr. Farmer was born and
reared in this county near Sharps-
burg. For the past ten years he has
resided in Atlanta, having held sev
eral positions of trust, and is a young
man of fine business ability. Miss
Goodwyn is the eldest daughter of
Hon. J. B. Goodwyn of the Sixth
district. Her affable manners and
genial disposition has won for her a
wide circle of friends, who join The
Herald and Advertiser in extend
ing congratulations to the happy
couple. After the marriage ceremo
ny the bride and groom left on the
10:20 train for Atlanta, where they
expect to make their future home.
The death on last Saturday night
of Mr. Milton Henderson Haynie
removes from our midst an aged and
respected citizen. He was born in
Madison county, Ga., in 1850, and
moved, while a boy, to Floyd county
where be grew to manhood and Mar
ried Miss Minnie Copeland. From
the union'eight children were born,
five girls and three boys. Several
years prior to the Confederate war he
moved with his family to Arkan
sas; but at the commencement of the
war, came back to Georgia and en
listed in his father’s company, in
which he fought in many memorable
battles, making an enviable reputa
tion as a valiant soldier. At the time
of his death he had resided in New
nan seven years. During the past
summer two of bis daughters died
with fever; shortly afterwards he was
prostrated with the same disease. He
leaves an aged wife whose destitute
circumstances and continued aflfiic-
tions awakens tbe tenderest sympa
thies of the community. The funeral
was conducted from the Methodist
church on Monday by Rev. J. M.
White.
