R«ra!<! ant! fldwtt$er. NGWNAN, FRIDAY, MAR. 26. j In the Fi?ht Good and Proper. "Yes, we are meeting all competi tion on fertilizers,” said Mr. J. W. Bowers yesterday. Mr. Bowers is a! member of the firm of Anderson & Bowers, local agents of the Coweta Fertilizer Co., and was discussing the recent cut in the price of fertilizers inaugurated by certain foreign compa nies that have been trying to get a foothold in Newnan and outlying ter ritory. "We did not begin the slash ing of prices, but now that the fight is on we expect to stand by our guns and give ‘the enemy’ a return shot lor every whack that they make. John Anderson and I have been selling the Coweta goods for many years, and when we recommend them to our friends we realize that our own repu tation is as much at stake as is the good name of the Coweta Fertilizer Co., and we are standing by both. 1 have no hesitancy in saying that the guanos bearing the ‘Coweta’ brand are as good in all respects as any of fered for sale in Georgia, and a dog gone sight better than some brands that are being sold in this territory at the so-called cut prices. As a mat ter of fact, even the ‘cut price’ asked for some of these goods is more than they are worth. Yes, sir; we’re in this fight to a finish. Of course, we can’t expect to make any money at present prices, but John and I are going to have lots of fun. If there is any sweating to be done, the other fellows will do it. They started the row.” Chautauqua Talk. As previously stated by The Herald and Advertiser, the prospects are bright for another Chautauqua the com ing June, with a stronger and more at tractive programme than has been presented at any previous assembly. For this pleasing prospect we are in debted to a number of public-spirited citizens, who are already at work on plans to make the next chautauqua the most interesting and entertaining that our people have yet enjoyed. To in sure the success of these plans it is important that we co-operate heartily and unselfishly with the executive com mittee. Our chautauquas have never been designed as money - making schemes, but simply to furnish enter tainment and instruction to the people. It is now a fixed institution, and a sum mer in Newnan without the chautauqua would be a dull season, indeed. We had a good chautauqua last sum mer, but we have the assurance of the executive committee that the next chautauqua will be even more enoyable. Some of the leading attractions now being negotiated for are as follows: The Alkahest Band and Orchestra, a select combination of artists and solo ists. It is composed of ten people, and is equipped with brass instruments for street concerts, and a full orchestra for stage music. The Robley Male Quartette, one of the best of its kind ever brought South. Senator Bob Taylor, who will give one or more of his inimitable humorous lectures. W. Powell Hale, impersonator, who so delighted our people last summer. Other attractions now being consid ered for engagements are of the same nigh class as those mentioned, concern ing which we shall have more to say hereafter. Senoia Notes. Senoia Enterprise-Gazette, 25th inst. L. M. Farmer, T. F. Rawls and A. H. Freeman, of Newnan, are attend ing court here to-day. Mr. A. H. Brantly, of Atlanta, ac companied by Dr. F. M. Brantly, left Monday for Clermont, Fla. Mrs. R. L. Arnall was in Atlanta last Friday at the bedside of her moth er, Mrs. Wiley Hand, who continues to improve very rapidly. She is now able to sit up. V. P. Enloe, of Griffin, reports thir teen hens that laid 4('£ dozen eggs dur ing December. January and February; but J. B. Woods, of Brooks, beats him a mile. He reports twelve hens that laid 62J dozen eggs during the same period. Hon. W. A. Post, of Grantville, and Col. W. G. Post, of Newnan, were in the city the latter part of last week. The former is a candidate for appoint ment as Judge of the City Court of Newnan, and is meeting with consid erable encouragement in his petition to the coming Governor. Mr. H. L. Ware continues to push to the front with improvements that go to make his place one of the most up- to-date in the city. He is now having a nice cement walk placed in front of the store occupied by Ware-Nixon Co. More than fifty names have been added to the membership of Senoia Methodist church during the pastorate of Rev. E. W. Jones. This shows the excellent work he is doing, and that the people have confidence in him as a leader. He fights evil wherever he finds it, and is always striving for those things which uplift our people and build up the church. Mr. E. H. Powers, who for the past two years has been a member of the Arnall-Couch-Powers Co., has sold his interest in the business to Mr. J. C. Arnall. Mr. Powers has not perfected his plans for the future, but it is earn estly hoped that he will decide to re main in our city. He is a good busi ness man, and well liked by all who know him. A stockholders’ meeting will be held at once to elect a general manager. The Ladies' Cemetery Association met at the cemetery Monday afternoon and discussed- the pavilion question. They decided to erect the building, which will be 2ux36 feet, at the north end of the main drive. The pavilion will be an ornament to the cemetery, as it will be nicely finished, and no one should find fault with the ladies in their efforts to beautify our "city of the dead.” The friends of Mr. J. W. Storv and Mrs. G. A. Wilson, formerly of Harris county, but now residents of Senoia, were surprised to learn that they were united in marriage last Thursday, while on a visit to friends at East Point. Rev. Jos. Choran performed the cere mony, in the presence of a few inti mate friends. They have been resi dents of Senoia only a short time, but have made a number of friends and ac quaintances, who wish for them much happir.e-s and prosperity. A wedding that was quite a surprise to our people was solemnized Sundav evening about 6:30 o’clock, when Rev. E. W. Jones performed the ceremony that joined Mr. Thomas W. Cook and Miss Laura Thompson. The wedding took place at the bride’s home in this city. Miss Thompson is a modest, un assuming young lady, of excellent Christian character, and the groom is to be congratulated upon the choice he has made. Mr. Cook is well-known here as one of our most successful and accommodating merchants, who by close attention to business is rapidly making his way to the front in the commercial world. Good farming records are always of interest, so we give below a condensed statement of last year’s work and profits of Mr. W. C. Vollenweider, who runs a farm above town. He kept a close account of the work, cost of seed, rent of land, and all expenses, and after deducting same cleared on the dilferent crops for the year as fol lows; Cotton, $236.84; corn, $126.60; potatoes, $14; peas, $9.60; hay, $19.60; wheat, $34.25, which makes a total net profit of $440.69. The total proceeds of the farm amounted to $875.20. He used the improved seed sold only by Mr. Othel Morgan, and although Mr. Vollenweider held a good railroad posi tion for eleven years, he is clearing more money now than he ever did be fore. The farmer is the most inde pendent man on earth. We have contended for a long time that Senoia should have electric lights and a public school. It seems now that day is breaking, and that we are soon to have these necessities. Our ladies are tired of the darkness and unsatisfactory lights of the past, and Mrs. H. L. Ware, Mrs. R. L. Arnall, Mrs. C. F. Sasser and Mrs. M. H. Couch took the matter up Tuesday and circulated a petition to ascertain the sentiment of the people on these im portant subjects. After the day’s work was over a number of people had not been spen, but they had secured the names of about one hundred of the voters of the city to a petition ask ing the Mayor and Council to call an election for bonds to the amount of $18,000 for public schools and electric lights. This petition will be presented to the Mayor and Council at the next regular meeting. Coweta Lady Writes From Texas. On March 2 we boarded the train at Newnan for Texas. Arrived at Mont gomery at 8 p. m., left over L. & N. road for New Orleans, arriving there at 7 :15 a. m. Crossed the Mississippi at 9 a. m. for Shreveport. Between Shreveport and Boyce, La., on the banks of the Red river, stands the house in which Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe boarded while teaching school. While there she wrote "Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” The house is still in good condition. Louisiana is a fine State. The soil is very fertile. Sugar cane is the most important crop, and the sugar refin eries furnish employment to a large number of people. We came over the M., K. & T. to Winnsboro, Texas, arriving at 4 a. m. on March 4. Winnsboro is a town of several thousand inhabitants, has two railroads, a cotton oil mill, electric light plant, creamery, etc. It. G. An drews, one of the leading merchants, and Dr. Skeen, one of the most noted j physicians, are old Georgians. Many! changes have been made ; farms lane s ' cleared, houses erected, etc., so that one scarcely recognizes even the old landmarks. Quitman, the county-seat, is situated near the center of the county. Farming is the chief occupa tion. Owing to the warm, dry weather the farmers are progressing rapidly with their planting. The high winds and the sand are disagreeable. I have visited Uncle Jesse Moseley, the only surviving child of David Mose ley. He formerly lived on the farm where T. B. Sanders now resides. He moved to Texas in 1858, making the trip in an ox wagon, and was on the road three months. He now lives at the place where he settled the year following his arrival. He is 83 years old, enjoys very good health, and still superintends his farm and other busi ness. I was grieved to hear of Mrs. Lynch Turner’s death. The Herald and Advertiser is always gladly welcomed out here, and each line is read with interest and pleasure. I hope for a pleasant visit, and a safe return home. Della Reese. Quitman, Texas, March 19th. Bishop Candler Dedicates Home for Superannuated Preachers. Grantville, Ga., March 22.—Grant ville had an unusual day Friday. It was such an occasion as has never been wit nessed in Georgia before. Mrs. S. E. Leigh, of Grantville. had built a splendid home for old and re tired Methodist ministers. Bishop Warren A. Candler preached the dedication sermon for the home. I Rev. W. J. Cotter, Dr. J. W. Quillian,' I Rev. W. A. Parks and Dr. J. F. Mixon I took p$rt in the exercises, j The business houses were closed and the church was crowded. These were present; Bishop Can dler. Rev. W. J. Cotter, Dr. J. I'. Mix on, Rev. W. A. Parks, Dr. J. W. Quil lian, Rev. H. S. Bugg, Rev. J. M. Tumlin, Rev. A. E. Sansburn and Rev. T. R. Kendall, jr. After the services in the church Mrs. S. E. Leigh entertained at luncheon at her palatial residence to the ministers and visiting ladies from Atlanta and other places. Thirty people were seated at the table. Rev. Dr. Mixon and his wife occupy the home, which has been elegantly furnished by the ladies of the town. Rev. W. A. Parks, himself an aged and superannuated minister, is agent of superannuated homes for the North Georgia Conference, and having suc- eess in his work. A pessimist is one who eats continu ally of the dark meat of life’s turkey. Excursion Fares via Central of Georgia Railway Company.

Brown has had a reg ular ovation on his tour of the State, and has met and shaken hands with thousands of Georgians. As the people become acquainted with him they not only like him better, but are satisfied that no mistake was made in calling him to the Chief Magistracy. They have also learned that their Govrenor- elect is not a nonentity, but a man of ability and education, with the nerve to do what he conceives is best to be done to conserve the public welfare, and the courage to follow his honest convictions. — Lawrenceville News- Herald.
