Reraid and Edoertiser. NEWNAN, FRIDAY, FEB. 12. c Board of Trade Holds Important Meeting. President Brannon called a meeting of the Board of Trade on Monday night last, the main object bein^r to revive in- !— ' v| I terest in the organization and to take I nrali Rmuaht Forward il steps to put i1: 0,1 an active working ha- Locals urougnt rorwara. y sis> The president announced that the standing committees appointed when the board was organized would be con tinued until the next annual election, and each committee was urged to take a more active interest in the duties to which it was assigned at the organiza tion, to the end that the business com munity might get the full benefit of the counsels and experience of the men composing the several committees. The suggestion was made that per manent quarters be secured for the Board of Trade, either by purchase or lease. The matter was referred to a committee, and definite action will like ly be taken at the next meeting. The secretary announced that certifi cates of membership had been printed, and these would be issued to all mem bers who had paid the membership fee of $25. Efforts will be made to secure new members, the purpose being to bring into the organization every busi ness man in Newnan. President Brannon called attention to the excellent work that had been done by various committees towards secur ing subscriptions for the proposed rail road from Franklin via Newnan to the A., B. & A. road. He commended the efforts of these public-spirited citizens, who had taken hold of the enterprise with the single purpose of helping Newnan and Coweta county, and thought they should have the co-opera tion of the Board of Trade. He stated that it would be necessary to raise a few thousand dollars in addition to the subscriptions already secured, and be lieved that the Board of Trade should take hold of the matter and assist in carrying it through. This suggestion was agreed to, and Messrs. W. C. Mc Bride and T. B. Parks were appointed from the Board of Trade to co-operate with the citizens’ committee in closing up the subscription list. The canvass for subscriptions was resumed Tuesday, and has been prose cuted with such success that but little more than $5,000 is now needed to make up the amount required. The committee is still at work, and before the end of another week expect to raise the entire amount needed. A report having gone out that the Coweta Creamery had suspended on ac count of a scarcity of milk, The Herald and Advertiser takes this opportunity to deny the rumor. The creamery has been in successful operation from the day it started, and there is no likeli hood that it will close down. The milk supply is not sufficient just now to ena ble the creamery to run to its full ca pacity. it is true, but conditions will improve as spring approaches, and the company expects then to get as much milk as it can use. The creamery is a great benefit to the farmers of the com munity, and they are showing their ap preciation by patronizing it. The Southern School of Telegraphy now has seventy pupils, the largest en rollment iri several years. The student body is composed of a splendid lot of young men, all studying to qualify themselves for railroad office work and as telegraphers These students spend about $1,500 in Newnan each month for board, lodging and laundry, not count ing other hundreds spent for clothing and minor incidentals. Never before, perhaps, has Newnan appreciated so fully the importance of this school, or its value to the community. Prof. W. L. Strieker, the popular president, has brought the school up to a fine stand ard of efficiency, and the graduates turned out are a credit to the institu tion. The marriage of Miss Addie Blanche Floyd and Mr. John Will Brakefield was solemnized Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock, at the home of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Hattie C. Floyd. The ceremony was impressively performed by Rev. E. W. Jones. It was a very quiet affair, only a few personal friends being present to witness the happy oc casion. Miss Floyd is the eldest daugh ter of Mrs. Hattie Floyd, and is an in dustrious, intelligent young lady, of good Christian character, and will make an agreeable companion for the man who has chosen her for his wife. Mr. Brakefield is the son of one of our best merchants, Mr. W. L. Brakefield, and is an honest, hard-working young man, who, by strict attention to his farming business, is making a success. Imme diately after the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Brakefield left for Farmdale, where the former had a home nicely ar ranged for his bride.—Senoia Enter prise-Gazette, 11th inst. We are pleased to note that the City Council and the City Board of Educa tion are about to get together on the question of a new school building for South Newnan. At a late meeting of the City Council that body was asked to call an election to determine the matter of issuing bonds to the amount of $18,000 for the purpose named, but the proposition was turned down. At a called meeting of Council on Thursday of last week the question was again ta ken up, and Alderman Cole and Presi dent Atkinson, of the school board, were requested to have plans made for such a building as will meet all require ments, together with an estimate of the probable cost of same, and report at a subsequent meeting of Council. We understand that there is some dif ference in the estimates, according to figures furnished by the school board and calculations made by the alder- manic board, and it is with a view to getting a clearer idea as to the actual cost ot the proposed building that Messrs. Cole and Atkinson have been asked to go into the matter more thor oughly. Future action of Council re garding a bond issue will doubtless de pend largely upon the character of the report to be submitted by the gentle men named. Ministerial Association Condemns Near-Beer Saloons. The following resolutions were passed at the regular weekly meeting of the Newnan Ministerial Association on Monday last, to-wit: “Resolved, That the Newnan Minis terial Association views with uneasi ness the multiplication of near-beer sa loons in the city of Newnan, believing that their influence is injurious and de moralizing to our people. “Resolved further, That we call the attention of our citizens to the danger that threatens our people from the near- been saloons, and urge them to keep their eyes open to all violations of law from these sources.

Feb. 8tffi —A banker going home from his dinner saw a $10 bill on the curbstone. He picked it up. noted the number, and went home to dinner. While at home his wife remarked that the butcher had sent a bill amounting to $10. The only money he had with him was the bill he had found, which he gave to her, and she paid the butcher. The butcher paid it to a farmer for a calf, and the far mer paid it to a merchant, who, in turn, paid it to a washerwoman, and she. ow ing the banker a note of $10. went to the bank and paid the note. The banker recognized the bill as the one he had found, and which, up to that time, had paid $50 of debts. On careful investi gation he discovered that the bill was counterfeit.
