BESSIE'S BONNET.

That’s the only thing I see
When she dares to don it;
Climax of all witchery
Lies in Bessie’s bonnet.
Yet, though I have sung the spell
Oft in many a sonnet,
To this day l cannot tell
One thing that is on it.

Who won 1«1 care to con it?

Of her dainty bonnet.

Mr. John Cleveland Bean, of St.
Charles, only son of Mrs. J. L. Bonn,
passed away Sunday morning, after an
ness of several months. He was a
splendid young man; the future seemed
already to have turned the key to a
bright and promising career, and the
loss is deeply felt in the community.
The remains were carried to Lutherville
Tuesday morning for interment, funeral
services being conducted by Rev. T. R.
Kendall, jr., of Moreland.
Invitations have been issued by Mr.
and Mrs. Habersham King to the
marriage of their daughter. Belle Ver
non, to Mr. John Caldwell Porter, of
Rome, the ceremonv to occur on Wed
nesday evening, April 14, at the home
of the bride’s parents in Atlanta. The
bride formerly resided in this city,
where she was very popular, and the
approaching event is anticipated with
much interest by her many Newnan
friends.
Monday afternoon Mrs. R. E. Platt
and Mrs. R. J. Barnett were out driv
ing, when one of the wheels of the bug
gy came oil' and the vehicle was cap
sized. Both ladies were thrown out,
Mrs. Barnett striking Ihe ground with
such violence as to fracture both bones
of the right arm just above the wrist.
The accident occurred just beyond
Pearl Spring Park, and by the time
Mrs. Barnett reached town she was
suffering much pain from the injury.
The fractured member was set by Dr.
G. W. I’eddy, and she has been resting
lmfortably since. Mrs. Platt was
more fortunate, escaping with only a
few bruises.
Mrs. Adeline Hammond, relief of
the late Judge Dennis F. Hammond,
died Wednesday at the home of her
son-in-law, Col. A. D. Adair, in Atlan
ta'—aged 85. Deceased resided in New
nan many years ago, but in 1862 re
moved with her husband and children
to Atlanta, and was making her home
in that city at the time of her death.
She was a brilliant woman, and is yet
remembered with warm regard and ad
miration by many of our older resi
dents. Her husband died in 1891. The
remains were brought to Newnan yes
terday afternoon and laid to rest in the
family lot in Oak Hill cemetery. The
funeral was largely attended.
Mr. Henry Dyer, on whose farm in
Panther Creek district the remains of
“Hellnation” Smith, the Revolutiona
ry soldier, lie buried, was in the city
Wednesday. In a conversation with
Judge W. B. W. Dent regarding the
obscure and neglected resting-place of
the old soldier, Mr. Dyer stated that
the burying-ground referred to in The
Herald and Advertiser last week had
been obliterated before he came into
possession of the farm, and the land
put in cultivation. He said, however,
that he would be glad to assist in lo
cating the grave and removing the re
mains to Newnan, or to some other
point where they might be given de
cent sepulture. Judge Dent will go
out to the Dyer farm to-morrow or
early next week and render what aid
he can to the same end.
Postmaster Atkinson’s report of the
receipts of the Newnan postoffice for
the fiscal year ending March 31 shows
a total of $13.272.49—an increase of
about $1,000 over the previous year.
During the same period 7,922 money
orders were issued and 3,891 were paid,
the receipts from this source being $28,-
900.99 and the disbursements amount
ing to $25,557.88. Over 2,000 registered
letters and packages were dispatched
during the vear. The business of the
Newnan office has grown steadily un
der Mrs. Atkinson’s administration, the
increase of receipts averaging $1,000
annually for the past three years, not
withstanding the panic. Besides the
assistant, there are now four clerks on
duty regularly, and the service ren
dered is excellent. Mrs. Atkinson is
quite proud of the showing made for
the year just closed, and her felicita
tions are shared by our people general
ly, as the business of Ihe postoffice is
an unfailing barometer indicating the
growth of the town.
