her girl friends. The function was
admirably managed by the dainty
young hostess, and was a charming
affair.

Dr. W. A. Turner has been appoint
ed one of the trustees of the State Tu
berculosis Sanitarium, for the estab
lishment of which the Legislature
made an appropriation last summer.
The trustees are now casting about for
a suitable location for the proposed

Col. W. C. Wright was accompanied
to Atlanta Tuesday night by a delega

along for the purpose of seeing him
safely conducted “across the burning
sands” in a picturesque ceremonial at
Yaarab Temple. It was a trying or
deal, from all accounts, but a liberal
application of zem-zem water served
to bring him around in pretty fair
shape, and he was able to return home
on the morning train. He is now ad

husky young manhood, and are receiv

Mr. Jack Powell, who now has the
only exclusive carriage, buggy and
wagon repository in the city, is filling
up his place with vehicles in prepara

natives as they have not been aroused
in many a day. Anything and every
thing in .he vehicle line can be found
in his establishment, and he has opened
the season with a schedule of prices
as attractive as are the vehicles them
selves. Watch for his full-page an

Mrs. J. L. Barge received a tele
gram Wednesday announcing the death
of her mother, Mrs. R. H. McConaughy,
which occurred Wednesday morning at
her home in Holdrege, Neb. Mrs. Mc
Conaughy had been in poor health for
several months, and her death was not
unexpected. She visited Newnan a
short time ago, spending the months of
November and December with her
daughter here, and was not well then.
After leaving Newnan she declined
rapidly, and finally passed away at her
home on the date mentioned. Deceased
was 72 years of age, and is survived by
her aged husband and three children—
Mrs. J. L. Barge, of this city, C. W.
McConaughy, of Holdrege, Neb., and
R. C. McConaughy, of Cincinnati, 0.
Mr. and Mrs. Habersham King, of
Atlanta, announce the engagement of
their daughter. Belle Vernon, to Mr.
John Caldwell Porter. The announce
ment of Miss King’s approaching mar
riage will be of great interest here,
where she numbers her friends by the
score, and is a general society favorite.
For several years Miss King has made
her home with her uncle, Mr. J. Neph
ew King, at his attractive suburban
home, Beverly Hall. No young man in
Rome stands higher in social or business
circles than Mr. Porter. Coming here
from Alabama a few years ago, he has
made many friends. He is vice-presi
dent of the State Mutual Life Insur
ance Co., and general manager of the
Rome Industrial Insurance Co. He
holds an enviable position in the finan
cial and commercial circles of Rome,
being on a number of directorates.
The wedding is to be a home affair,
and will take place at the residence of
Mr. and Mrs. King, 622 North Bou
levard, Atlanta, Wednesday evening,
April 1^4.—Rome Tribune-Herald.
Mr. Robert Freeman Herring and
Miss Christine Arnold gave their
friends a pleasant surprise Monday by
slipping off to Moreland and getting
married. The wedding took place at
the Methodist parsonage in Moreland,
the ceremony being performed by Rev.
T. R. Kendall, jr. The first intimation
that a nuptial alliance between these
young people was even contemplated
came in the shape of a message over
the ’phone after the marriage had
been consummated, and caused a mild
sensation. They were given a cor
dial reception upon their return
to Newnan, and showered with con
gratulations from their many friends.
The bride is the attractive daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Arnold,
and before her marriage was one of
Newnan’s most popular girls. The
groom is equally popular among the
younger set, in which both he and his
bride have been prominent figures. He
is also prominent in business circles,
being a member of the well-known in
surance and real estate firm of Herring
& Parks. The Herald and Advertiser
extends its best wishes to the young
couple.
There is a movement on foot among
our merchants to open a woman’s ex
change at some central point in the
city for the convenience of ladies who
come to Newnan from the country and
neighboring towns to do their shopping.
It is proposed to have the exchange fit
ted with a lavatory and toilet, and
neatly furnished with chairs, lounges
and tables. A stewardess will be in
charge to look after the comfort of
those who, fatigued from shopping,
desire a place at which to rest or to
leave their parcels. In fact, the ex
change will be made attractive as well
as comfortable, and all out-of-town
shoppers and visitors will be cordially
invited to make themselves at home
there any hour of the dav. This ser
vice will be absolutely free, the ex
pense of maintaining the exchange be
ing borne by the dry goods merchants
of the city. The Ofty Council may also
be asked to make a small appropriation
towards defraying the expense, which
will not exceed $36 or $40 per month.
A woman’s exchange is a public con
venience which Newnan has needed for
many years, and it is hoped that the
movement will be successful.

The “Deestrick" Skule at Auditori
um Next Tuesday Night.
The ladies of the Methodist church
will give the “Deestrick Skule” at the
auditorium on Tuesday night, (March
16,) and the public is anticipating a
world of fun at this mirth-provoking
entertainment. Miss S. C. Battaile, of
Nashville, Tenn., who has the exclu
sive right to this arrangement of the
“skule,” is here assisting the ladies
with the programme. Miss Battaile
gave her “skule” in Valdosta four
years ago to a packed house, and re
peated it there four weeks ago. Many
persons were turned away, and at least
a hundred ladies and gentlemen stood
during the whole performance. She
gave it twice in St. Louis, and each
time the door receipts were over Si,500
Governors, Congressmen, editors, law
yers, doctors, business men, and
preachers of every denomination have
taken part in her “skule.” Some of
the most prominent ladies and gentle
men of Newnan will appear in the
“skule” here, and the play proimses to
be, as the management claims, “the
best amateur performance ever given
here.” These Newnan “skollars” will
no doubt he greeted by a full house
when “skule takes up” at the audito
rium next Tuesday night.
