If the truth be said.

Those two things may be,

Death of Rev. F. G. Golden.
It becomes the sad duty of The Her
ald and Advertiser to chronicle the
death of another good man this week.
Rev. F. G. Golden, whose illness had
been previously mentioned in this pa
per. passed away Monday night at his
home on Second avenue. He suffered
from a pulmonary trouble, and lingered
many weeks before the final end came.
Deceased was for ten or twelve years
an active member of the North Geor
gia Conference, but owing to ill health
lie was forced to leave the ministry,
and two or three years ago was placed
on the superannuated list. After leav
ing the ministry he taught school at
different points, and was quite success
ful. Continued ill health made it nec
essary for him to abandon this calling
also, and for some time prior to his
death he was confined at home in a
state of almost helpless invalidism.
Deceased was 43 years of age, and is
survived by his wife and three chil
dren, who have the sympathies of ev
eryone in their bereavement. The re
mains were interred at Coke’s Chapel, 8
miles east of Newnan, where the fu
neral was held, services being conduct
ed by Dr. R. J. Bigham and Rev. A.
E. Sansburn. The interment was made
with Masonic honors.

Will “Returning Prosperity” Bring
New Bridge and Passenger Depot ?
Following the recent visit of Com
missioners McLendon and Stevens to
Newnan and their inspection of rail
way property and terminals here, the
Atlanta Constitution says that the Rail
road Commission has notified the Cen
tral railway officials of the dilapida
ted condition of the Greenville street
bridge. In view of the understanding
reached a short time ago. as a result of
frequent conferences and much corres
pondence between the city officials and
the officials of the Central railway, the
action of the Railroad Commission re
ferred to above was hardly necessary.
According to the understanding spoken
of the Central railway agreed to re
place the old bridge with a substantial
hew structure as soon as plans could
be made and the material put on the
ground. These plans call for a wider
bridge than the one now in use, with
enclosed footways connecting with the
sidewalks at both ends. The City
Council contended at first for an iron
bridge, but, after some correspondence
with President Hanson, finally con
sented to the erection of a wooden
structure at the point designated. The
Constitution also says: “The citizens
of Newnan are moving to secure a new
passenger station. The preference of
a number of citizens is the spot where
the Central and the Atlanta and West
Point lines cross. Plans for a new sta
tion had been completed and approved
by President Wickersham, of the West
Point, and Major Hanson, of the Cen
tral, and the work of constrction was
about to begin when the panic of last
year came and caused the work to be
postponed.”
Now that Taft has been elected, and
we have the promise of our Republican
friends that the panic will speedily dis
appear, it may,‘be timely to renew the
agitation for a union passenger station.
It is understood that the Atlanta and
West Point road has, from the firri.
been ready to join the Central in this
undertaking. Indeed, plans for the pro
posed building were prepared over a
year ago, and these plans had been ap
proved by the Central; but an injunc
tion was filed bv one or two property
owners to prohibit the closing of Sa
vannah street at the point where it
was proposed to erect the depot, and by
the time the trouble had been adjusted
the panic came on. As this convulsion
has been upon us ever since, the new
passenger station has of course ad
vanced no farther than the blue-print
stage.
Headquarters of National Farmers' Union
of America—Electric Line to Atlanta
Assured.
The whole South is now looking to
ward Union City, Ga., on account of the
big improvements being made there.
The National Farmers’ Union of Amer
ica have their offices at Union City,
ami a large brick building of 100 feet
front is now being erected for their
use. Manufacturing enterprises are be
ing rapidly located, and inquiries from
all Over the South are coming to those
who are in charge of the developments
at Union City. A half-million dollar
agricultural college is being planned by
the National Farmerk’ Union, and a
fine graded school and fair grounds,
where annual fairs of the Union can be
held, are among the big attractions
which will come to Union City. Agri
cultural works, a lumber plant, a back
hand factory, a factory for making
stock foods, and a brick plant, are in
contemplation, there being a bed of
clay there which, after being tested,
has been found to be the finest in the
South. A stone quarry with an inex
haustible supply of the finest granite in
America is located within the limits of
the city. The Geologist for the State of
Georgia has made an analysis of this
granite, and in his report states that it
contains all the elements necessary for
the finest monumental and building
purposes, and it is really considered
the most valuable bed of granite in the
South. The owners of these fine gran
ite properties would like to confer with
expert granite men. or others interest
ed in quarry properties, with a view of
developing this quarry upon a very lib
eral basis. The accessibility of this
granite to the main line of tho A., B. &
A. R. R., and the fact that it can be
quarried with a gravity fall, makes it
much more desirable.
Union City is located on the Atlanta
and West Point and Atlanta, Birming
ham and Atlantic railways, two of the
largest systems in the South, and only
17 miles from Atlanta. An electric
line will be built in a short while to
Atlanta. The amount of capital has
been subscribed and civil engineers will
be placed in the field within the next
ten days, and very shortly thereafter
actual wuiK ot construction will begin.
The two railway systems referred to
have a joint track in Union City con
necting their two lines, and on this
track many of the industrial enter
prises will be located.
There is a big demand for lots in
Union City, and a large force of men
with modern grading implements are
now at work preparing the streets for
the buildipgs which will he erected on
them. People are clamoring for houses,
and an opportunity is open here for
people who want to make investments
to build houses, for rent or for sale.
Liberal rents can be had, and good
profits can be secured on such invest
ments.
Union City is destined to be one of
the most important commercial points
in the South, <n account of the fact
that it will enoy competitive freight
rates, and the trade of the National
Farmers’ Unim all over this country
can be securel by reliable manufac
turers who wil locate at Union City.
There is abuidant capital behind the
big undertakin; to develop Union City,
and the three sen who are interested
and furnishingthe means for these de
velopments ar Mr. E. Rivers of At
lanta. Mr. J. L Harris and Mr. .J. M.
McDonald of Titzgerald. Ga. These
gentlemen hav organized the Union
City Imnrovempt Co., and all letters
and inquiries ddressed to them at
Union City. Gf, will receive prompt
attention.
Coweta For Bryan, of Course.
Old Coweta still holds her place as
one of the rock-ribbed Democratic
counties of Georgia. Neither the lying
campaign circulars sent out from Re
publican headquarters nor the soft per
suasion of Tom Watson had any effect
here. Taft received only 220 votes,
Watson 19. and Chafin 1, as against
1.032 for Bryan. Not a single ballot
was cast either for the Hearst Inde
pendence League ticket or the Social
ist candidate. Congressman Adamson
received 17 more votes than Brvan.
The polls were opened at all precincts
Tuesday, except in the Seventh dis
trict. The vote by districts is given
below—
First district—Bryan 158. Taft 10.
Second district— Bryan 23, Watson 3.
Third district—Bryan 16. Taft 8,
Watson 2.
Fourth district—Bryan 42.

Miss Bessie Foster, of Newnan. was
the guest of Miss Janie Kirkland Sat
urday and Sunday.
Mr. J. W. Kirkland and his interest
ing family moved to Aberdeen last Fri
day.
Rev. R. O. Martin has accepted an
indefinite call to the pastorate of the
BaDtist churches at Garfield arid Still-
more, together with other work in that
section which will take up his entire
time. These are both growing towns,
in a good section of country, and is a
good field for work. We congratulate
these churches upon their excellent
choice in selecting a pastor.
Otis, the 20-vear-old son of Mr.
Wm. Hannah, of Stricklandtowon, in
Meriwether county, accidentally shot
and killed himself last Saturday even
ing. He had been hunting and was re
turning home, and when taking the
gun from the buggy one load was
emptied into his left side, producing
almost instant death. His remains
were laid to rest at Rocky Mount Sun
day evening. Rev. W. A. Davis con
ducted the funeral services.
The postmaster has received instruc
tions from the Postoffice Department
at Washington to change the leaving
time of our rural mail carriers, (begin
ning Tuesday, Nov. 10,) from 8 to
10:25 a. m., thereby allowing the car
riers to get the A., B. & A. and Cen
tral mails in the morning before leav
ing. This will allow our country
; friends to get practically all the mail
that comes here for them on the same
day it reaches this office. The Haral
son pouch fromi here will be discon
tinued, and that office will be supplied
by the A., B. & A. mail service.
Every man owes himself a living,
and it’s up to him to get busy.
