NEWMAN, FRIDAY, MAY 14.
P RACT1CAL P O E S Y .
BY JIM BAXLEY.
Tho rose is well enough to sing;
The daffodil adorns the spring;—
But 1 would laud that helpful thing:
The young radish.
The jonquil quite deserves its bays;
The lily shines in roundelays:
But I have something else to praise:
The new onion.
The floral beauties and their kith
Are things of moment and of pith;—
But what is there the matter with
The strawberry shortcake?

We are pleased to learn that Mr. .1.
L. Brown’s condition has shown
marked improvement since he was car
ried to a sanatarium in Atlanta a
couple of weeks ago. Mr, W. J. Dris-
kill, who has been in a sanatarium in
that city for the past month, is also
improving, and will return home in
a week or so. This will be wel
come news to the many friends of these
gentlemen, all of whom are hoping for
the speedy recovery of the invalids.

Mrs. Mary Dickson, relict of the
late Jasper Dickson and one of Cowe
ta’s most estimable women, died on the
5th inst. at her home in Hurricane dis
trict, after an illness of a few hours.
She was a sister of Mr. J. I. Scroggin
and Mrs. W. S. Askew, of. this city,
and Mr. G. 0. Scroggin, of Turin, be
ing 74 years of age at the time of her

Shocking Death of Former Coweta
Man.
Mr. P. 1). Dial, a former citizen of
Coweta, but who lias been making his
home in Atlanta for several years past,
died in that city Monday under very
distressing circumstances. About three
months ago lie was bitten by a dog,
and, apprehending that the animal
might have been affected by rabies, he
took the Pasteur treatment. He ex
perienced no ill effects from the dog’s
bite until about ten days ago, when he
suffered a nervous collapse. Follow
ing this breakdown he grew rapidly
worse, finally developing a case of hy
drophobia, which caused his death.
Deceased was a brother of Messrs. B.
H. Dial and F. B. Dial, of the Hurri
cane district, and had numreous other
relatives in the county.
The following account of Mr. Dial's
death is taken from the Atlanta Jour
nal of Tuesday—
“P. D. Dial died from the effects of
hydrophobia Monday night at his resi
dence, 89 Fortress avenue. In Feb
ruary Mr. Dial arose from his bed „one
night to go out and stop the barking of
some dogs in the neighborhood, and
while doing so was bitten by a large
bull dog. For the next twenty-one
days he took treatment regularly at
the Pasteur 1 institute. He never ceased
from his work as foreman of the repair
shop of the Georgia Car Co., and was
not forced to take his bed until last
Tuesday night. The physicians then
summoned pronounced the disease hy
drophobia, although Drs. Browner and
Harris, of the Pasteur Institute, are
of a different opinion. Dr. Chas. 0.
Smith signed the death certificate, giv
ing hydrophobia as the cause of death.
The dog which bit Mr. Dial was never
captured, and it is therefore not known
that the malady from which he was
suffering resulted from the effects of
the bite. Mr. Dial himself claimed
that he had hydrophobia, and predicted
his own death. He was a well-known
member of Fulton Lodge, I. O. O. F.,
No. 32; Gate City Council, No. 5. J.
O. U. A. M., and of Connesauga Tribe,
No. 23, I. O. R. M. The funeral will
be held Wednesday morning at 11
o’clock at the residence, and the inter
ment wil be in Westview cemetery.” b
On Sunday last, at the home of the
bride’s mother near Madras, Rev. A.
E. Sansburn officiating, Miss Kate
Coggin was united in marriage to Mr.
C. A. Payne. The biide is a daughter
of Mrs. Milus Coggin, and is highly es
teemed by everyone for her fine wo
manly qualities. Mr. Payne is the pro
prietor of the Newnan Steam Laundry,
and since locating in Newnan has made
many friends, all of whom join in wish
ing him and his worthy companion
much happiness and prosperity.
The Sunday afternoon concerts given
at Ray Park by the Newnan Cornet
Band are becoming quite popular, large
crowds gathering each Sunday after
noon to enjoy the music. The pro
gramme arranged for next Sunday af
ternoon is as follows; “Royal Colors,”
march; “Ruth and Helen,” serenade;
“American Belle,” march; "June, July
and August,” waltz; “Hannah From
Savannah, ” medley march ; “The Gold
en West,” overture: “Henrietta,”
waltz; “Frolic of the Brownies;” “Un
cle Sammy.” march. The concert will
begin at 3 :30 o’clock.
On Wednesday evening last, at the
home of the bride’s parents, Dr. and
Mrs. R. L. Hood, at Sargent, their at
tractive young daughter, Miss Euca
Hood, was united in marriage to Mr. T.
K. Lee’, also of Sargent. The ceremo
ny was performed by Rev. W. W. Rood,
of Carrollton, and was witnessed by
quite a company of friends and rela
tives of the popular young couple.
Yesterday morning Mr. and Mrs. Lee
left for a short visit to the groom’s
parents in South Carolina, after which
they will return to Sargent and settle
down to housekeeping.
State Pension Commissioner Lindsey
has called for the names of all those
who are going to apply for a pension
this year. He asks that the names
of the pensioners and the applications
be fded with the Ordinary at once, in
order to facilitate the preparation of
the full list by June 1. The new pen
sion law has made it necessary for the
Pension Commissioner to get in the list
of names as early as possible. It is
believed that the new law will add
more than a thousand names to the
pension list, and in order to grant this
increased appropriation the Legisla
ture w^nts every name from the Com
missioner.

and is the subject of many comments
pro and con. A mile of this road has
been completed near the stockade, and

A Prescription From Old Irclaod
Rec3e Drag Co., Ne.vr.an, 1 as received the first
shipment of Irish Liniment ever made to this sec
tion of the country. Irish Liniment was pre
scribed by Dr. DeCoursey, who, in his day, was
the best-known man in Ireland, where the name*
of the wonderful article was a household word.
It will cure any case of eczema on top of earth,
and for rheumatism in any form the results are
beyond expression. It will bring tho impurities
to the surface, which means a certain cure, and
which no other preparation was ever known to do.
Book with every bottle, telling of other ailments
that will surprise you.
Go to Reese Drug Co.’s, get a bottle of Irish
Liniment, and you will bless the day you did it.
Cut this article out and keep it for reference.
If Irish Liniment will not do all we claim for it,
go back to Reese Drug Co.’s and they will give
you 50 cents for the empty bottle on your honor
as an American citizen. Fifty cents at your
druggist, or 60c. by express prepaid to your home.
