Mr. W. W. Wisdom, of LaGrange,
was in the city Saturday in the interest
of the Tennessee Oil and Gas Co., of
which he is the treasurer and chief
promoter. The company, which was
organized only a short time ago, owns
valuable oil lands in Tennessee, near
the Kentucky line. The property is
now being developed, and gives prom
ise of becoming one of the richest oil-
producing plants in the country. The
stock is being rapidly taken, several
thousand shares having been sold al
ready in Newnan and adjacent towns.
Mr. J. T. Williams, of this city, and
Hon. S. E. Leigh, of Grantville, both
of whom own large blocks of the stock,
are directors of the company.
An important meeting of the direc
tors of the Western of Georgia Rail
way Co. was held Tuesday. At this
meeting Mr. B. H. Tompkins, of Frank
lin, tendered his resignation as a direc
tor, and Judge Frank S. Loftin, also of
Franklin, was chosen for the vacancy.
A committee, consisting of B. T.
Thompson, W. C. Wright and Frank S.
Loftin was appointed to go to New
York and resume negotiations with I.
L. McCord & Co. with a view to clos
ing the contract for the construction of
the road. The committee left for New
York an the 12:30 train Wednesday,
and are fully empowered to represent
the local stockholders in all negotia
tions necessary to bring the matter to
a close.

J. R. Holt, from the Junior Order: W.
M. Thomas, from the Modern Brother
hood , R. F. Beck, from the Pocahon
tas. All details are in the hands of
this committee, and the occasion prom
ises to be a brilliant one.
A wedding of pronounced interest,
because of the popularity of the par
ties in the society world, will be that
of Miss Annie Laurie Brewster and Mr.
Clarence Wickersham, which takes
place at College Park June 16. The
church will be beautifully decorated in
palms and roses. Mrs. Alonzo Rich
ardson and Mrs. Walter Mason will be
matrons of honor. Miss Manelle Brew
ster will be her ssiter’s maid of honor;
Misses Ethel Wickersham, Mary Grey,
Carolyn Willingham, Frankie McCrory,
Annie May Harding and Frances Hill
will be bridesmaids, and May Thornton
and Frank Wickersham will be the rib
bon-bearers. Marguerite Myers will be
the bearer of the ring, and Masie Niece
will be the flower girl. The bride will
be given away by her father, Col. P.
H. Brewster. Mr. Clarence Wicker
sham will be attended by his father,
Mr. C. A. Wickersham, as best man.

List of Soldiers’ Widows Wanted.
Ordinary Perdue has received a let-
in support of the claim that adver
tising‘‘do pay, ” we mention an inci
dent that happened last week. A
prominent merchant of Franklin saw
I. N. Orr Co.’s buggy advertisement in
The Herald and Advertiser, and, need
ing a buggy, delayed buying until he j
came up to attend the railroad meet
ing. On the day of the" meeting he i
was so engrossed in railroad affairs that
he forgot about the buggy until he got
ready to start home. It was then past
bedtime, but he roused up a member
of the firm, found what he wanted, and
as the moon came up (then past 11
o’clock) he geared his palfrey to the
buggy and set out for Franklin, a hap
pier and a wiser man—happy because
well suited in a vehicle, and wiser be
cause he had read The Herald and Ad
vertiser.
The handsome and commodious lodge-
room now being finished up on the sec
ond floor of the new Burpee building
will be ready about June 1, when it
will be occupied by five of Newnan’s
popular fraternal orders—Odd Fellows.
Red Men, Pocahontas, Junior Order of
American Mechanics, and Modern
Brotherhood. Later in the month it' is
planned to havb a big dedication, in
which all of the orders named will
take part. Prominent speakers, repre
senting the different fraternal organi
zations named, will be invited to at
tend the dedicatory exercises and deliv
er addresses. A joint committee of ar
rangements has been appointed as fol-
i Hi ~ ~ '
ter from State Pension Commissioner
Lindsey requesting that a list of all
widows of Confederate soldiers in Cow
eta county who intend to apply for pen
sions be forwarded to his office with
out delay. Thus far only twenty-two
names have been filed with the Ordina
ry, and as this is only a small propor
tion of the total number in the county,
many will be disappointed unless they
file their names within a very few days.
The list is desired as a guide in making
up the pension appropriation for next
year. According to the legislation pro
vided for by the Constitutional amend
ment adopted last year “no widow of a
soldier killed during the war shall be
deprived of her pension by reason of
having subsequently married another
veteran, who is dead, provided the sec
ond marriage was not later than 1870.’’
Under the old law only those widows
who were married to Confederate sol
diers not later than 1865 and who
owned no property, were entitled to
pensions. Widows who married later
than 1870, and who own more than
$1,500 of taxable property, are not en
titled to a pension.
Little Willie (who has been looking
up statistics)—“Say, pa, why is it that
soldiers only get $13 a month and Con
gressmen get $13 a day?”
Pa—“Soldiers, my son, do not fix
their own salaries.”

The West Point’s 1909 return shows a
