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. LIST OF JURORS Drawn for the September Term, 1909, of Coweta Superior Court.

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.
