The Manget-Brannon Co.’s new
building on the railroad front near the
Central depot is now receiving its fin
ishing touches at the hands of the
workmen, and will be occupied by the
firm in about two weeks. The build
ing is of brick, 50x70 feet, and has
three stories and. a basement. The
first three floors will be used for gro
ceries. grain, etc., and the top floor
will be occupied as a cigar factory by
D. T. Manget & Co. Adjoining the
main building on the east is the Man
get-Brannon Co.’s milling department.
This is a two-story structure 40x75
feet, with basement, and is equipped
with six sets of rocks for grinding
corn. The firm has a big trade in meal,
and it is for the purpose of supplying
this demand that the mill has been
erected. It has a capacity of two
thousand bushels per day.
At a recent meeting of the City Coun
cil ihe street committee was directed
to confer with property-owners on the
leading residential thoroughfares with
a view to the extension of sidewalk
paving, the city offering to defray half
the expense. The sum of $2,000 will
be appropriated each year for this ob
ject, and property-owners are urged to
accept the offer made by the city.
Many have already paved the walks in
front of their residences at their own
expense, and it is for the purpose of
encouraging others to do so that the
City Council makes the proposition
noted above. The proposal will be
open for acceptance only a short time,
and parties desiring to take advantage
of the offer should confer at once with
the street committee. Communica
tions addressed to either Alderman
Swint. Alderman Arnall or Alderman
Cole will receive prompt attention.

TRAVERSE JURORS, (SECOND WEEK.)
Geo. Lyle, a light-fingered colored
moke, was arrested on Thursday of
last week on the charge of robbing the
cash drawer in the office of the Water
and Light Commission. The drawer
was first broken open on Feb. 27, when
cash to the amount of $18 was pur
loined. A second foray was made on
March 10, the thief getting away this
time with $26. Then Mr. Pringle, sec
retary of the board, decided to set a
trap for the burglar. He attached a
wire to the drawer and connected it
with an electric bell in the Council
Chamber. While Mr. Pringle was at
dinner on the day mentioned the bell
sounded an alarm, and Mr. Tom Nall,
who was sitting in the Council room
and knew for what purpose the alarm
had been set, hurried to Mr. Pringle’s
office and caught Lyle red-handed. The
negro had entered from the rear of the
building, having previously satisfied
himself that Mr. Pringle was away at
dinner, and was proceeding to rifle the
drawer as he had done on two former
occasions when the electric alarm be
trayed him. He did not deny the thefts.
Saturday he appeared before Judge A.
D. Freeman, in the City Court, plead
guilty to burglary, and was sentenced
to the chaingang for a term of two
years.
After Forty-four Years Visits New
nan Again.
Rev. I. R. M. Beeson, a Baptist min
ister of St. Louis, Mo., is in Newnan
this week in the interest of the Chris
tian Home Orphanage, located at
Council Bluffs, Iowa. This institution
is non-sectarian, has no endowment or
fixed income of any character, and re
lies for support upon the voluntary of
ferings of charitable people in all parts
of the country. Since its establishment
twenty-five years ago it has cared for
nearly five thousand homeless children.
Included among these are many afflict
ed children, who, because of their infir
mities, are not desired for adoption,
and consequently have become a perma
nent charge on the bounty of the or
phanage.
Rev. Mr. Beeson is a Confederate
veteran, entering the service in Mis
souri while yet in his teens, and was
twice a prisoner before the war ended.
He was exchanged early in 1865, and
while making his way to Texas on
horseback to rejoin his command passed
through Newnan. While awaiting or
ders he spent two weeks here and met
many of our people then living. Dur
ing his stay he took part in an amateur
theatrical, given for the benefit of sol
diers’ orphans. The play was “Lady
of Lyons,” and he assumed the char
acter of "Claude Melnotte.” He is
anxious to know if the young lady who
took the part of “Pauline’’’ in the play
is yet living. He does not recall her
maiden name, but if living he would
like to meet or communicate with her.
During his sojourn the good people of
Newnan were holding a series of sun
rise prayer-meetings. Each morning
at sunrise they would assemble at one
of the churches and pray for peace, and
it was at one of these gatherings that
Mr. Beeson made his first prayer in
public.
Mr. Beeson is now 67 years of age,
but seems well preserved, and is deep
ly interested in the work in which he is
now engaged. He hopes to meet many
of the Newnan people during his stay.
