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.

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.

Mattings and rugs also will be in this sale. You are welcomed. Scroggin Furniture Co. 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.

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.

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.

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.
