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. lows; J. C. Leach, from the Red Men; 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. Ushers, Mr. Edward Richardson and Mr. Elden Brewster, Mr. Erskine Brewster and Mr. W. P. Tobin.—At lanta Constitution. 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.” O © Spalding’s Base B a l l Goods.
