Shell, of Turin; L. L. Den nis, of Welcome; Will Brown and S. G. Newman, of Handy. The directors of the Coweta Cotton Oil Co. met Wednesday and declared a dividend of 10 per cent, out of the net earnings of the company for the past year. The report of the officers made a showing that will tickle the stock holders mightily when they hold their annual meeting next month. The Atlanta Journal, in making a forecast of the census returns for 1910, estimates Coweta’s population at 35,- 772, which would be an increase of about 7,000 since the census of 190'), The same paper says that Coweta ranked six among all the counties of the State in cotton production last year. Great old county is Coweta— best farms, best roads, best schools, biggest churches, and the sturdiest men and prettiest women in Georgia. Judge J. S. Powell arrived Saturday from Manila, and has been holding a continuous reception since. Notwith standing his long and fatiguing voyage of 12,000 miles, and the exciting expe riences incident to the stranding of the steamship upon which he was a pas senger just before it reached New York, the Judge was in fine spirits, and seemed as delighted to get home as his friends were to see him. He will return to the Philippines about the middle of August. The most brilliant social affair of the week was the reception and dance at the Coweta Club on Tuesday evening, complimentary to our visiting young ladies. The visitors were again enter tained Wednesday afternoon at a barbe cue, which was served in the beautiful grove in front of Mr. S. V. Carpenter’s country home, 2 miles south of town. The cooking of the meats was superin tended by Mr. Carpenter, and no other evidence is needed that it was a sump tuous feast that the visitors enjoyed. The Atlanta Constitution’s “White Steamer” pathfinder car, accompanied by eight or ten other automobiles, will leave Atlanta to-morrow morning on a “pathfinding” trip to Columbus. These trips are being made to different points in the State in the interest of the good roads movement, and to-morrow’s itin erary includes brief stopsat Union City, Fairburn, Palmetto, Newnan, More land, Lutherville, Greenville, Stinaon, Chipley, Hamilton, Cataula, and thence on to Columbus. The party will leave Atlanta at 7 a. m., pass Newnan at 10, and arrive at Columbus at 6:15 p. m. The “pathfinders” will find good roads already built in Coweta—better than in any other county on the route. We have spent over a quarter of a million dollars on our public highways during the past eight years, and are still spending money on them at the rate of $40,000 to $50,000 a year. We are pre pared, therefore, to extend the “path finders” a cordial welcome, and can show them just as good roads leading east and west as they will find in pass ing through the county from north to south. Dr. J. W. Quiliian and wife, of La- Grange, celebrated yesterday the twen ty-fifth anniversary of their marriage, and while the event was not observed either in a ceremonial or festal man ner, it turned out after all to be a very pleasant occasion. The pastors of the LaGrange district, desiring to testify their love and esteem for their presid ing elder and his devoted companion, made contributions to a fund for the purchase of a suitable gift, to be pre sented as a token of remembrance and appreciation from all the pastors of the district. A handsome silver ser vice was purchased, and Rev. A. E. Sansburn, of this city, was selected to make the presentation. In the perfor mance of this very pleasant duty he went to LaGrange yesterday, and, call ing at the district parsonage, presented the gift in a graceful little speech. Dr. and Mrs. Quiliian were taken com pletely by surprise, and it is needless to say that they were both pleased and gratified—pleased with the beautiful gift, and gratified beyond expression at the manifestation of love and good will which the gift conveyed. A Nice Place to Visit. Now, since the Coweta Cafe has opened its doors, let everybody show appreciation of Mr. Leres’ enterprise in furnishing Newnan a clean, up-to- date, elegant place by patronizing it- a place where one can always get a well-cooked meal, the daintiest con fections, and pure cream and soda drinks. As a means of drawing attention to the superior service and delicious sum mer drinks to be had at the “Sweet- land” fountain, the proprietor will give a handsome ladies’ gold watch, with diamond setting, to the mosc pop ular young lady of Newnan. Particu lars of the contest, which will he decid ed by ballot, may be had by calling at the “Sweetland” •fountain. The box of fine candy promised the first lady customer who spent a brand- new ten-cent piece at the “Sweetland” was presented to Mrs. E. F. Sims. Tickets are given away at the foun tain, and twenty-live of these tickets will be good for a box of assorted can dies. The proprietor desires to thank the public for the liberal patonage given him since his cafe was opened, and as sures the people that every effort will be made to conduct such an establish ment as will merit their good opinion and approval at all times. Dr. Tom Bailey and Wife Have Nar row Escape. Dr. T. S. Bailey and wife had a dis tressing experience while out in their new automobile Saturday morning, re sulting from a collision with the morn ing passenger train from Columbus over the Central road. They had been out to East Newnan, and the accident oc curred at the crossing this side of the mills, as they were returning to the city. Before reaching the crossing Dr. Bailey slowed up his machine and consulted his watch, but misread the figures on the dial, taking it to he 8:30, when the correct time was in fact 7:30. Impressed that the morning train for Columbus hud passed, and as-1 sured that he had ample time to avoid the 9 o’clock train from Columbus, he I started forward. Just as he reached the crossing, and when his machine was almost upon the track, the train for Columbus appeared from around the bend west of the crossing, not over twenty yards away. Instantly Dr. Bailey threw on the power and urged his machine forward in an effort to avoid a collision with the oncoming train. He was not quick enough, though, and before he could clear the] track the engine crashed into the rear end of the machine. Mrs. Bailey was thrown several feet by the impact and severely bruised and shocked. Dr. Bailey was slightly hurt also, hut his injuries were not so serious. The train stopped, and, taking Dr. Bailey | and his wife on board, brought them to I town, where they received prompt medical attention. Mrs. Bailey is still suffering from the shock, as well as | from numerous bruises, Init Dr. Bailey was able to be out a day or so after wards. It was a thrilling escape from a shocking death, and an experience that Dr. and Mrs. Bailey will never recall without a shudder. Water and Light Commission Re duces Rates. The Water and Light Commission has made a marked reduction in power and lighting rates, the decrease aver aging about 25 per cent, from former rates. The new schedule, which went into effect June 1, is as follows: Commercial Rates 1 to 25 k. w., at 12c. per k. w. ; 25 to 75 k. w., at lie. per k. w. ; 75 to 100 k. w., at 10c. per k. w. ; 100 to 150 k. w., at 9c. per k. w. ; 150 k. w. up, 8c. per k. w. All services must be metered. A mini mum charge of 50c. per month for one or two lights will be made, with an al lowance of 4,000 watt hours: and a minimum charge of $1 per month will be made for three lights and over, with an allowance of 8,000 watt hours. Power Rates 1 to 75 k. w. t at 74e. per k. w. ; 75 to 150 k. w., at 7c. per k. w. ; 150 to 250 k. w., at 04c. per k. w. : 250 to 350 k. w., at 6c. per k. w. ; 350 to 450 k. w.. at 54c. per k. w. ; 450 to 550 k. w., at 5c. per k. w. ; 550 to 650 k. w., at 44c. per k. w. ; 650 to 750 k. w., at 4c. per k. w. ; 750 to 850 k. w., at 34c. per k. w. ; 850 k. w. and above, 3c. per k. w. A minimum rate of $2 per h. p. per month will be charged. Separate meters shall be in stalled. Power for motors of 5 h. p. and above is to be used only from sun rise to sunset, except by special per mit. The action of the Water and Light Commission in making these reductions will be appreciated by consumers, and will undoubtedly encourage a more lib eral, use of lignts as well as power. It may be remarked in passing that light and power rates in Newnan. even be fore the reduction, were as low as in any other town of 6,000 population in the State, and speaks well for the eco nomical and business-like administra tion of this important branch of the city government.

What We Have Done, With Your Help Some eight or nine years ago we opened our doors to the New nan public in a store-room 18x66 feet. Wo had only about $500 to nit into business, but believed we <new what the people wanted; we knew we were capable of serv ing them properly and promptly; so we began. Since then our every aim has been to give the people their full money’s worth to give them the best drug store we are capable of conducting—to make the place attractive. To-day we are occupying some thing over 60,000 square feet of Moor space, operate our own elec tric light plant, our own machin ery for manufacturing ice cream, etc., and are paying taxes on more property than any other drug store in Coweta county. We have always stood for prog ress, and the pace we have set has been hard to follow. New nan now has the best drug stores of any city of its size in the State. We are largely responsible for it. It is with a reasonable amount of pride that we call attention to these facts. During Chautauqua week we expect to serve you still better. With an extra soda man during the week, with an orchestra and a singer to entertain you, with two capable and competent pre- scriptionists, two soda men and two delivery hoys, we shall be prepared to handle your wants in all fines promptly. Wo thank you for the patron age which has made this possible. HOLT & CATES CO. NEWNAN, GA. r "\ Dainty, Pretty Im ported FANS A NICE PRESENT FOR THE SWEEET GIRL GRADUATE. Price. Sit $7. H . S .
