NEWNAN, FRIDAY, MAR. 10.
Locals Brought Forward,
J
To-day Bishop Candler will go to
Grantville and dedicate the home for
superannuated preachers recently built
by Mrs. S. E. Leigh and donated to the
■North Georgia Conference for the pur
pose indicated. Several ministers of
the conference will be present and take
part in the dedicatory exercises.
The millinery openings will occur
next Tuesday and Wednesday, and the
event is looked forward to by the wo
menfolk with much eagerness. The
styles this season are simply hideous—
but that won’t discourage the clear
creatures in the least. They will be
all the more anxious to see them.
Mr. and Mrs. Jack Powell were
called to Rome yesterday by a tele
gram announcing the death of their
brother-in-law, Mr. Walter T. Cheney.
Deceased was a lawyer and author of
wide reputation, and one of North
Georgia’s most prominent men. He
is survived by his wife and one son.
After remaining out about twenty-
four hours the jury in the case of Rhett
Arnold, on trial for murder, brought
in a verdict at 11 o’clock Saturday
morning for voluntary manslaughter.
It is understood that Col. C. S. Reid,
who represented the defendant, will
this week file a motion for new trial.
After an extended tour of the West,
including trips through Texas, New
Mexico, California, Colorado. Arizona
and Washington, Mr. Sanders Gibson
returned home Saturday. He was
much benefited by the trip, and returns
more firmly convinced than ever that
old Georgia is the best State in the
Union.
Dr. G. E. Weems, one of McDon
ough’s bright and popular young men,
who for the past two years has been
practicing medicine here, has moved
to Woodbury, where he will engage in
his chosen profession. His friends here
predict for him much success in his
new field of labor.—Henry County
Weekly.
Next Sunday night, at the First
Methodist church, the Sunday-school
orchestra will have charge of the
music, and a number of the finest songs
will be rendered. The music will be
unusually inspiring. The pastor will
preach upon “When School Is Out.’’
The public is cordially invited—espec
ially visitors and strangers.
Just received new line of art squares.

a few days. We want to sell about
50 squares. We are in a position
to give you close prices, and will be
pleased to show you through. Mattings
and rugs also will be in this sale. You

Next Monday (one day only) we will
run tomatoes at 5c. per can. Now, lots
of you thought because I was selling
them at 5c. they were no good. Did
you try them? Don’t I always sell good
stuff? If I had something that wasn’t
good I would give it away. Remem
ber, Monday only—5c. per can.
Adams, the Grocer.
Millinery Opening. — We will have
our millinery opening on Tuesday and
Wednesday, 23d and 24th inst. Our mil
liners have arranged the most attrac
tive line we have ever displayed. We
will have, as usual, the same hats for
less money than you will see elsewhere.
Special attention has been given to hats
at $3.50 to $10. Boone-Stripling Co.
Newnan Council, No. 22, J. O. U. A.
M., received from Congressman Ad
amson this week several hundred pack
ages of garden seed for distribution
among the members, and The Herald
and Advertiser is requested to make
public acknowledgment of their appre
ciation of the courtesy. Judge Adam
son is himself a member of Newnan
Council.
Mr. C. S. Fincannon went to Knox
ville, Tenn., the first of last week jn
response to a telegram announcing the
critical illness of his brother, Mr. M.
L. Fincannon. The sick man breathed
his last a few hours after (Mr. Fincan-
non’s arrival, and he remained over to
attend the funeral. Deceased was 41
years of age, and leaves a wife and
three children.
Millinery Opening. — Miss Ella Tur
ner will have her spring opening on
Tuesday and Wednesday, 23d and 24th
inst., and extends a cordial invitation
to the ladies of Newnan and vicinity to
visit her establishment on those days.
Included in the display will be a num
ber of handsome pattern hats, and
everything else new and attractive in
spring millinery.
Mr. F. M. Walton, who compiled the
Newnan-Franklin railroad survey, ar
rived this week from West Virginia,
where he has been engaged in civil
engineering since the completion of the
1 Franklin line last fall. He will spend
a few days with his father’s family at
1 Talladega, Ala., before beginning the
work of locating the Western of Geor
gia railway.- Franklin News and Ban
ner.
Notice to Fishermen.—\ have decided
not to lease Wynn’s pond to a stock
company this year, but to allow the
public fishing privileges during the
months of April, May and June upon
the payment of $5. Under no circum
stances will net fishing be allowed, and
I reserve the right to determine the
number of trot-lines to be placed in the
ford. For further particulars see G.
L. Wynn, Newnan, Ga.
“Railroad Mike’’ is the euphonious
ame of a little black mule that is to
le the mascot of the Newnan-Frank-
n railroad. “Mike” has plenty of
tfe, and will be used to break the first
irt on the new line. The mule was
^bscribed by Mr. Robt. Combs, of
lolona, and was sold at auction by
1-Sheriff Mack Lipford Monday after-
pn, being bought by Judge R. G.
yin for $87. The railroad subscrip
ts committee agreed that the mule
fold count for a share of stock. The
mining $13 will be made up, or the
obr will allow the mule’s work to
almulate enough to make a full $100
al\> of stock for Mr. Combs.—Frank-
liiews and Banner.
A few days ago Mr. G. L. Warren,
of Sargent, submitted to the pnintul
ordeal of having one of his eyeballs re
moved. It had been seriously affected
for several months, and caused him so
much suffering that he decided to get
rid of the offending member. The op
eration was successfully performed by
Dr. Thos. J. J oik's and Dr. Paul Penis-
ton, and we are glad to know that Mr.
Warren is now doing nicely.
In our advertising columns this week
the Mandeville Mills, of Carrollton,
publish an open letter to the farmers,
in which they give reasons why the
fertilizers bearing the “M-M” brand
cannot be sold in competition with
cheaper and less meritorious brands,
and also raise a question as to whether
it is sensible economy on the part of
the farmer to use cheap guano on his
land. See advertisement.
mends the building of such a bridge by
the two counties jointly. It further
recommends that the County Commis
sioners of Coweta confer with our
Commissioner of Roads and Revenues,
with a view to the building of such a
bridge. That such a bridge is desira
ble no one can deny.—Carrollton Times.
All trains on the Chattanooga divis
ion of the Central road were delayed
Sunday and Monday by a washout at
Trion. The trestle which spans the
Chattooga river at that point was un
dermined by the surging waters, and
a freight engine that tried to pass
oyer the weakened structure was pre
cipitated into the stream below. The
engineer and fireman went down with
the engine, but succeeded in swimming
out to a place of safety.
The remains of Mrs. George Delk,
who died at the home of Mrs. Shell
Monday night, were laid to rest in the
city cemetery Tuesday afternoon. She
had been seriously sick only a few
days. Funeral services were conducted
at the Methodist church by Rev. E. W.
Jones. She had resided in South Geor
gia for some time, but came here on a
visit. Perhaps she will be better
known to our people as Miss Lula Be-
lisle, daughter of Mr. L. D. Belisle,
who was for a long time one of our
citizens.—Senoia Enterprise-Gazette.
Some of our friends at Whitesburg
have been agitating the subject of a
free bridge across the Chattahoochee
at Moore’s ferry, and we notice in the
presentments of the grand jruy of
Coweta county that that body recom-
Monday afternoon the bnseball en
thusiasts of the Southern School of Te-
legrahy met for the purpose of organ
izing a team. Mr. Claude Morgan was
elected manager, Mr. S. A. Worsley
was made captain, and Mr. J. B. Brad
ley coach. Much enthusiasm was man
ifested, and the prospects for having a
strong team are very bright. Both
Prof. Strieker and Prof. Stanford are
heartily in favor of the organization,
as they are of everything else that af
fords the boys wholesome pleasure. The
suits have been ordered, and will be
here soon.
On Friday last Judge R. W. Free
man resentenced Sam Taylor, fixing
Friday, April 1(3, as the date for his ex
ecution. Taylor %’as convicted at the
September term of Coweta Superior
Court for the murder of Warren Price,
another negro. The case was appealed
to the Supreme Court, but the lower
court was sustained by that tribunal.
Taylor’s only hope now is to secure a
commutation of sentence to life im
prisonment, and with this purpose in
view we understand that his counsel
will ask a hearing before the Prison
Commission during the coming week.
His lawyers are W. H. Daniel, Robt.
Orr and J. Littleton Jones.

Judge I. D. Fairchild of
Lufkin, Texas, had two
houses painted, both same
size. One was painted with
a leading top-price paint,
and took 25 gallons. The
other was painted with
Devoe, and took only 15/4
gallons. The “ 1 e a ding
paint” referred to is adul
terated 15%, but is sold at
the same price as Devoe.
The most economical paint
always is the one that takes
least gallons and wears longest,
and that’s Devoe.
