The "dust" was forthcoming, and so were the mercena ries. The hired players and the bull dozing methods employed by Griffin’s choice corps of rooters was what put a had taste in the mouths of the Carroll ton children. Under these unfavorable circumstances they knew it was im- 1 possible to get a square deal, and de feat was the inevitable consequence. As I have conclusively shown, the I methods used to put the A. & M. kids | to the bad, I now desire to note what that grave and erudite reporter has to say about ("the gay Carrollton corres pondent getting into a hole for the re mainder of the season!’’ This remark is a little bit rank. It assaults the ol factories like the choking perfume that comes from the heard of a he-goat. Well, I don’t know as the young fellow is so much to blame, as there are a great many things, both in nature and in the books, he does not know. Swift, Couvier, and other naturalists would hardly invite an old grizzly like myself to remain in his hole for live months in the summer time. They inform us that winter is the hybernating period. But it is just like I told you there are many things that young fellow doesn’t know ; but 1 would have given him cred it for knowing spring from winter had not he invited me to hybernate in the summer time. It’s against nature! But. then, what does he know about nature? In behalf of the A. & M. I’m empowered and requested to invite the Griffin players to come up and sample us on our native heath. Be assured, when you come, (hat you shall have a square deal. We have ordered muzzles for our rooters, and the Carrollton platoon of G company, 5th Georgia, will form a cordon around the diamond, which they will patrol with fixed bayo nets to keep the infuriated populace from lynching you for the courtesies extended the "Incubator Brigade,’’ whom you pecked on a week ago. W(- are gratified to note the return of Hon, Jos. A. Aycock from St. Jo seph' Infirmary, Atlanta, where he has been for a month taking treatment. He appears greatly improved in health. Mr. B. K. Cox, of Clem, spent the wuuk with the family of Mr. .1. T. Coleman. Miss Addie Clay, of Cedartown, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Evan Thomas- son. Miss Robertson, of Atlanta, spent the week with her sister, Mrs. C. U. Walker. Miss Minnie Coleman, of Balmetto, was the guest of homefolks Sunday. Mrs. Joe Carroll, of Atlanta, is visiting homefolks this week. You can never guess the luck of a barber. There is Torn Bradberry, reared near I.ovejoy, in Henry county the Hon of a farmer. He became am bitious to kick the dust of the farm from his heels and become a tonsorial artist. He came to Carrollton, shaved his patrons, and departed. Tommie manifested a hankering to become a “Usher of men” like Peter and Paul, and other dispensers of the Word, lie served a term with the Salvation Army, and now we see this announce ment in a local paper: "Rev. .1. Thos. Bradberry, of Home, preached at Beth any Christian Church, near Sand Hill, Sunday afternoon.’’ —Tho following Carrolltonians spent Sunday in Bowdon: Mr. A. (). Wil liams, Misses Ethel Walthall, Laura Wood and Bessie Cauloy. -Mrs. Manuel Reese, of Atlanta, was the guest of Carrollton friends this week. r The Carrollton correspondent of The Herald and Advertiser is not in the habit of taking "sass” from anyone without making rejoinder, and the less the pigmy who punches him, the better aim he takes witli his little Faber to draw a line head -one that will deliver a paper pellet to the solar plexus which will cause the "sasser” to know the aforesaid correspondent is on the firing lino. Usually the bantam squawks when hit. Look out for his cackling when he gets this little dose fired into his rather fresh understanding. The foregoing will introduce the reader to the callow youth who reported the baseball game between Carrollton and Griffin on the 15th inst. for the Griffin News and Sun. Among other sapient remarks he has this to say in his reci tal of the game: "In spite of the boasting of the Carrollton press, the team of the A. & M. College of that town went down in defeat before the heavy hitting and superb base running of the fast little Griffin team yester day. * * * Nine to five is the sail mes sage sent the sad students at the A. & M. College at Carrollton. Now, let that gay Carrollton get in a hole for the remainder of the season!” Well, this is pretty good. -Springtime has come, pretty Fannie; Tho lambs are slipping in the fold, Ami your man takes gentle Annie To tho picnic, ami you scold. —The Woman’s Foreign Missionary Society met Monday afternoon at the residence of Mrs, Mollie Ward. —Dr. W/ L.

Chambers, who has been visiting relatives in Summerville, returned home Friday. —You remember I told you a couple of weeks ago about the Carroll county corn dub—the lazy man’s opportunity to have a half acre of corn raised at the expense of the State. The appli cant is only required to make out his claim and receive the corn shelled and sacked when made. The following orrespoiulent go honorable Lazy Roll Members are reg istered for Carrollton, (and there are patriots outside of them :) Carl Nix, Thousands of millions of cans of Royal Baking Powder have been used in making bread, biscuit and cake in this country, and every housekeeper using it has rested in perfect confi dence that her food would be light, sweet, and perfectly wholesome.

The purpose of the meeting was to formu- ate plans for Memorial Day. —The convicts in coal mines, brick yards and lumber camps, under the old convict regime, were doubtless treated more rigorously than the dictates of humanity would suggest, orarnaudling public sentiment tolerate. But under the new order of convict management have we made any improvement? -im provement as to safeguarding society from a criminal element, whom the laws of the land say shall be confined at hard labor during their penal term? Has this been attained? Of course the new order of things has not had suffi cient time to demonstrate what the end will be; but under the mistaken idea that is now governing the public mind, or a majority of them, the sev eral deputy wardens appear to regard the convict as a laborer who must have the greatest comfort and freedom con sistent with a work-without-pay pro gramme. In Carroll county one may see a number of life convicts driving teams to and from the convict quar ters without shackles or guard. Is this what the sentence of the law means? Is this the security that society should receive from an outlaw? This lax gov ernment of convicts is surely worse for Georgia than the old regime. —Mrs. W. II. Acklin, an aged lady, died on the lfith inst. and was interred in the city cemetery Saturday after noon. —To Banker A. K. Snead is due the credit of having the Bankers’ Associa tion with us on the 23th inst. Mr. Snead gave them an invitation some time ago, which was accepted, and will eventuate in one of the most notable financial gatherings that ever assem bled in our city. The First National Bank will hard ly be quartered in its splendid new home in time to greet the Bankers’ As sociation, hut the building will be there, arrayed in all the glory of new adornments, to-wit: Fifty new and or nately furnished rooms, electric eleva tor, steam heating apparatus, and out side adornments that would cause a city chap to pause and take notice. We are going to have an opening day—and our Newnan friends are all invited. —It is not my purpose to call atten tion to the way Coweta is working her public roads because she is a proud, sassy old Coweta, but because she has had an experience in this work which covers a term of years, and which has cost her tens of thousands of dollars. We are now beginning where Coweta started seven years ago. That her Commissioners made some mistakes in the establishment of the chaingang sys tem is but natural. But having a care ful and well-advised commission, they made fewer mistakes than the average of their class. It may be said that Capt. J. R. McCollum, chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, saw to the most minute detail of the sys tem before the convicts were turned over to the county. After taking charge of them he began the work of grading the public roads, which has been pushed successfully by his succes sors, until to-day most of the roads in the county have been graded. Coweta has been successful in the management of her convicts. An experienced man was put in charge of the camp, and the work has moved on with remarkable celerity. —Mr. A. P. Travis, who was called home from Covington to the bedside of his little son, (who has been seriously ill, hut now much imnroved,) returned to that city Thursday to fill a business engagement. —Mr. L. K. Smith, an officer of the Gainsboro Telephone Co., spent Wed nesday in Cedartown. —Miss Imogene Wilson, a charming young woman of this city, is visiting friends at Bremen. —Mrs. M. E. Spurlock had a serious fall three weeks ago, but at this writ ing is better. —The big-hearted management of the Carrollton Free Press have made arrangements to give its correspond ents an excursion in the near future. This is the kind of co-operation that makes a newspaper popular, and its correspondents zealous to report all the spicy happenings in their neighbor hoods. —Mrs. J. M. Brooks, after a pleas ant week’s visit to Koopville, has re turned home. We are to have a division of the State Bankers Association with us on the 2^th inst., ours being Group Three, which embraces all of Northwest Geor gia, described by an imaginary line starting on the Tennessee border and running thence south twenty miles east of Atlanta, to West Point, thence along the western State line to the Tennes see line and thence to the starting point.

ONLY EXCLUSIVE BUGGY AND WAGON REPOSITORY IN NEWNAN. ## tended by nil the bankers within the district named. Mr. W. S. Witham, of Atlanta, is president. We are promised the presence of some former Carroll county financiers who have grown fa mous in Georgia banking circles, no tably Asa G. Candler and Jos. Y. Mc Cord. Our silver-tongued Ordinary, Hon. W. J. Millican, will deliver the address of welcome. It is the purpose of the municipal authorities to put their best foot forward, and show our distinguished guests an up-to-date ban quet, and the many attractive features of our growing city. It is estimated that ninety or a hundred bankers will be present. This is a distinguished honor, of which the city should feel proud. —Coweta has a few good autos, but Capt. J. R. McCollum’s touring car is one of the most comely that glides along the Coweta highways. The Cap tain delights in giving his friends a spin along the well-graded public roads oc casionally. Last Sunday he gave the writer an airing at a forty-mile speed, which made the saplings look like the teeth of a tinetooth comb as we sped by them. It did not allow us time for a critical survey of the roadbed, but it must have been good, else the rate of speed at which we moved would have thrown us into the woods. With his fa cilities for transporting the girls in this excellent pleasure car, 1 do not see how he is to escape the matrimonial noose. There are few men in Coweta county better able to make an alliance of this kind, and few more deserving of a charming enchantress. —Does Carrollton grow? Well, not exactly. She has fallen into the plas tic hands of a progressive destiny which creates her. —Carroll county’s new Ordinary, the young Demosthenes of these woods, will make an address at Turin next Fri day. Judge Walter J. Milican, the gen- t leman to whom I refer, is one of the most cultured gentlemen we have met since our sojourn in the "Free State,” and we commend him to our Coweta friends. If you desire to hear a fine address, don’t fail to be on hand at Tu rin on the day mentioned. —Superior Court found our splendid Clerk, Frank Pearce, on hand, and he proved equal to all demands made upon him by the court touching matters per taining to his office. This is an excel lent showing, considering it is his first term of service. Frank is a genial fel low, is endued with good horse sense, and always meets the boys with a smile that won’t come off. —Jimmie Johnson’s new mule empo rium is nearing completion.
