fierald and fldwrtiser. NEWNAN, FRIDAY, APR. 16. LAROKHT Ol'ARAM RED COUNTRY IJIItl'l RATION IN FOURTH OONIIRKHHIONAI. DIRTHIUT. Official Organ of Coweta County. Jab. E. Brown, Tnos. S. Parrott, BROWN & PARROTT. Editors and PUDUSHERa VOTF FOR BONDS TO-MORROW. We take this opportunity to make a final appeal to our citizens to vote to morrow in favor of the issaunce of bonds, and thus provide means with which to improve our school facilities. No question of equal importance has been before our people in a decade. The effort that is living made in some quarters to inject into the campaign the issue of North Newnan vs. South Newnan is most regrettable, and harm ful to a degree that cannot be fully ap preciated now. South Newnan, with its already large and its steadily in creasing population, is as much entitled to adequate school facilities as is North Newnan. The demands of that sec tion of the city are reasonable and just, and to refuse them would be ungener ous and unfair. Vote for bonds to-morrow, and we warrant that you'll feel better for it. CLOSING UR TUN RAILROAD MA 77 HR. A meeting of the subscribers to the capital stock of the Western of Georgia railway was held at the court-house Wednesday night, and several matters of importance in connection with this new enterprise were taken up and dis posed of. Messrs. H. T. Thompson, N. E. Pow- el and W. C. Wright, the committee appointed at a previous meeting to in vestigate and pass upon the solvency and desirability of the securities ten dered by I. L. McCord & Co. as a pledge for the faithful performance of their contract in constructing the road, etc., submitted a lengthy report. This report, which recited all details of the investigation, was favorhble to the ac ceptance of the securities offered, the committee having ascertained to its satisfaction that the securities have a market value equal to the amount of money subscribed by citizens of Heard and Coweta counties to secure the building of the road. As additional security, the bonds pledged will be un derwritten by a well-known bond brok erage firm of New York City. After the report had been read Hon. I. N. Orr, chairman of the mooting, called for an expression from the sub scribers present, among them being F. S. Loftin, It. G. Crain, P. T. MeCutch- 'cn, A. W. Powers, Hr. J. W. Daniel, M. .1. Stephens and J. W. Ray, of Franklin. Speaking for his delegation, Col. Loftin stated that the Heard coun ty subscribers had the fullest confi dence in the committee that had been appointed to pass upon the solvency of the securities pledged by McCord & Co., and he was authorized to say that Heard county approved the commit tee’s report and was willing to put up her $40,000 against the securities ten dered. This announcement was re ceived with cheers. Col. Loftin was followed by Messrs. M. F. Cole, T. G. Farmer, H. C. Glover, J. J. Goodrum, 1. P. Bradley, T. M. Goodrum, and others, all of whom referred in commendatory terms to the faithful and painstaking man ner in which the work of the commit tee had been performed, and ap proved its findings. Whereupon a mo tion was made by Mr. T. M. Goodrum to adopt Hie report of the committee, and it was carried unanimously. A motion was then mule by Mr. M. F. Cole to appoint an executive com mittee, said committee to he empow ered with full authority to go forward and close up all unfinished matters and arrange the necessary details to per fect a permanent organization, the date of organization to be not later than May 1. This committee is consti tuted as follows: I. N. Orr, sr., B. T. Thompson, W. C. Wright, N. E. Powel, M. F. Cole, T. G. Farmer, 1. P. Bradley, of Coweta county; F. S. Loftin, R. G. Crain, A. W. Powers, J. W. Daniel, B. H. Tompkins, J. W. Ray, of Heard county. A resolution was then adopted re questing all subscribers to pay over to 1. N. Orr, sr., T. G. Farmer and H. C. Arnall, jr., the amount of their sub scriptions without delay, and thus has ten the work of permanent organiza tion. Wednesday night's meeting was the best that has been held since the agita tion for a new railroad began. Every man present realized that the time for talking had passed, and that he was there for business. This spirit was manifest throughout the meeting, and there was not one discouraging or dis cordant note. It will be a matter of only a few weeks now when we may expect active operations to begin in the work of construction, and it seems certain that by next summer trains will be running between Newnan and Franklin, and between Newnan and some point east on the A., B. & A road. According to the annual report of the Secretary of State during the year just closed twelve new railroads were chartered in Georgia, the roads having a total mileage of 275 and capital stock aggregating $1,810,000. During the same period nine insurance companies and nineteen State banks were char tered, the total capitalization of the last-named institutions being $1,630,- 000.

Good quality paper is used through out, the printing the very best that money can buy, and the art work is the very finest—this alone cost $5,000. Two pages and the cover are printed in full color—these are pretty enough to frame, ' It is better in every way than any previous issue—it is handsome enough for the parlor table, yet cheap enough for work-room reference.

It is a great book—so big Uncle Sam asks 13 cents to carry it through the mails, so if you wish it sent by mail enclose 13 cents additional with your order- 33 cents in all. wmi
