,— RcraM and JMwrfiser. 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? Locals Brought Forward. if Li: 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. Prominent citizens of Heard county who came up Tuesday to attend the meeting of the stockholders of the Wes tern of Georgia Railway Co. were F. S. Loftin, B. H. Tompkins, A. W. Pow ers, R. G. Crain, W. T. Goodson, H. H. Lane, Roe Hearn, R. M. Lipford, W. B. Harris, J. B. May, J. D. Mead ows, T. W. Orr, J. R. Crain, J. W. Daniel, P. T. IVlcCutchen, J. G. Aw- brey, W. A. Hendrick, J. W. Ray, J. E. Lane, R. L. Wilson and J. H. Orr. 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 death. The funeral took place at Em ory Chapel the following afternoon, services being conducted by Rev. R. F. Hodnett, of Franklin. 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 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.
