The Newnan friends of Miss Annie Laurie Brewster, of College Park, are much interested in the preparations that are being made for her approach ing marriage to Mr. Clarence Wicker- sham, also of College Park. The wed ding will take place in June. Refer ring to the prospective event, the At lanta Georgian says: “Mr. Clarence Wickersham. whose marriage to Miss Annie Laurie Brewster is announced for June, is erecting a beautiful bunga low on the Boulevard at College Park, which will be completed, furnished and ready for occupancy on their return from their bridal tour.’’ Mr. E. S. Buchanan, whose success at poultry-raising is the envy and ad miration of all his neighbors, writes The Herald and Advertiser as follows: “A few weeks ago 1 saw in your paper an article giving the laying record of a pen of Plymouth Rocks and of a pen of Rhode Island Reds which was veiy creditable, and while I do not wish to take a plume from the brow of these most estimable egg-producers, I think some one should do justice to the repu tation of the single-comb White Leg horns, and will give the record of a pen of six grown hens and eleven pullets, ages from five to six months, (not one over six months of age.) This pen of seventeen hens and pullets laid from March 25 to April 25 three hundred.and seventy-one eggs, and from March 25 to March 29 (five days) thev laid seventy eggs—an average of fourteen eggs a day for the seventeen fowls, including elev en pullets not over six months of age. Taking into consideration the age enlisted as a member of the first in fantry company that was mustered into service in Georgia—Co. A, 1st Ga. Rgt. (the old Newnan Guards.) He was elected lieutenant of his company, ar.d continued in the service until the war closed. Returning to Newnan in 18(15, he was elected Judge of the Infe rior Court, and the following year his popularity was further evidenced by his election to the mayoralty of the , city. In 1883 he was elected Justice °i | of the Peace, and held this office con OxfordsandShoes FOR LADIES, MISSES and CHILDREN in n (iRFAT si’Rix; salf: You save 2oe. to 50c. per pair, and you got comfort, style and quality in shoos bought of us.
