O’Kelly, a former resident of Grantviile, died in the National Sol diers’ Hospital at Johnson City, Tenn., on the 1st inst. For several years be fore his death he made his home in At lanta, where he was engaged in the practice of law. The interment was made in the National Soldiers’ Ceme tery at Johnson City. We regret to learn that Uncle Potts Nimmons, who has been seriously ill for the past two or three weeks, shows no improvement. His condition is critical, and it will grieve his many friends to know that small hope is en tertained for his recovery. He is now past 80 years of age, and has been in declining health for several months. The directors of the Farmers’ Ware house Co. met a few days ago and de clared a 0 per cent, dividend.

Keller, of Greenville, was in the city Saturday, and favored The Herald and Advertiser with a pleasant call. Many years ago Mr. Keller made his home in Newnan, although but few of the friends of former days are now living—a fact upon which tie comment ed with much sadness as ho recalled their names. Mr. Keller is still hale and hearty, and seemed to enjoy his visit. Mr. M. T. Rice, of Macon, repre senting the Neely Cotton Compress Co., of Richmond, Va., is in the city, and during the next few days will seek to interest some of our local capitalists in the enterprise named. The com press is a wonderful invention, and, both because of its simplicity and econ omy, is bound sooner or later to super sede the present expensive method of compressing. A new schedule went into effect on the Atlanta and West Point road Sun day. The only trains affected are Nos. 36 and 40, going north, and Nos. 33 and 39, going south.

Miss Carrie Ball, for many years a resident of Newnan, died suddenly Tuesday afternoon, at Milledgeviile. She had been a patient at the State San- atarium for some time, was apparently in good health, and the news of her death was a great shock to her family and friends. She was about 70 years of age. The remains were brought to Newnan Wednesday night, and yester day were carried out to Emory Chapel for interment. The excellent results obtained from the application of nitrate of soda to corn and oat crops the past season by some of our more progressive farmers is causing many others to use it this year, and there is considerable demand for it. Experiments made in this coun ty demonstrate beyond question that, nitrate of soda, judiciously applied to either corn, wheat or oats, will in crease the yield enormously—more tkan offsetting the apparently high eftst of this remarkable plant-grower. The Reading Circle met yesterday afternoon at the home of Miss Laura Peddy. The first hour was devoted to current events. Mrs. T. E. Atkinson, at the request of members absent at the last meeting, gave in review the Azores and Gibraltar, illustrating by photographs. Mrs. Thos. J. Jones, Mrs. T. E. Atkinson, Mrs. A. M.

The directors of the Grantviile Hos iery Mill met yesterday and declared a semi-annual dividend of 3 per cent. The mill is running to its full capacity, and under the capable management of Mr. W. N. Banks is enjoying a prosper ous business. The matter of filling the office of president, made vacant by the recent death of Mr. N. O. Banks, was deferred until the annual meeting of the stockholders in January. During the interval the executive affairs of the company will be looked after by Hon. W. A. Post, vice-president. By direction of the City Council Chief Shackleford has been engaged the past month in taking the city cen sus. Up to yesterday the enumeration aggregated nearly 5,100 souls, all of whom reside within the present corpor ate limits, and additions yet to be made will carry the total to 6,150 or more. When the bill now pending in the Legislature becomes a law and the city’s limits are extended a quarter of a mile, as is contemplated, Newnan’s total population will reach 6,000, which will be an increase of 2,600 over the census figures of 1900. Mr. J. W. Abercrombie, who bought the Coweta Creamery at the public sale of that property a short time ago, informs The Herald and Advertiser that he is overhauling the plant and will put it in operation again next Monday. He will take all the milk he can get. paying for same on a butter fat basis, as was done by the former management. He asks the co-opera tion of farmers, and all others who may have surplus milk to dispose of, promising the fullest compensation that the market f»r dairy products will warrant. Mr. Abercrombie is a thor oughgoing, enterprising man, and ev eryone wishes him success in his under taking. Mrs. J. M. Arnall, of Senoia, an nounces the engagement of her daugh ter, Georgia, to Rev. Benjamin David Porter, of Brunswick, Md., the wed ding to take place at the Senoia Bap tist church in the late summer. The bride-to-be is a graduate of Brenau College in the literary and oratory de partments, later becoming a member of the faculty. For the past year she has been at the head of the expression department of Locust Grove Institute. Mr. Porter is a graduate of Mercer University, and of the Baptist Semina ry. For the past three years he has been at Brunswick, Md., as organizer and pastor of the Baptist church at that place. At a meeting of the directors of Mc Intosh Mills, held Tuesday, Mr. Guy Garrard, of Columbus, was elected sec retary and treasurer, succeeding Mr. L. H. Hill, who tendered his resigna tion at a previous meeting of the board to accept a similar position with the Newnan Cotton Mills. Mr. Garrard is a son of the late L. F. Garrard, of Co lumbus, and a young man of splendid qualifications. He is a graduate of the State School of Technology, where he took the textile course, and is familiar with every department of cotton manu facturing, having had practical experi ence in all its branches. He is also well equipped for office work, and the directors seem much pleased with their selection. Elder F. B. Powell, of Carrollton, will conduct a revival meeting at Lib erty Christian church in August, begin ning the fourth Saturday night and con tinuing for a week, with two services daily. Elder Powell is pastor of the Christian church at Carrollton, and is an earnest Christian and a zealous worker He was educated in Tampa, Fla., under the tutorship of Prof I. 1’. Rowlinson, formerly of Hiram College. He is an eloquent preacher and a force ful and logical reasoner. The revival that has just closed at Elder Powell’s church at Carrollton is said to have been one of the greatest meetings tile town ever had. Liberty church is look ing forward to a splendid meeting, and it is hoped that much good will lie done. "In The Herald and Advertiser last week you were good enough to give credit for the successful management of McIntosh Mills during the past eight months to me and my official co-work ers,” said Mr. B. T. Thompson, presi dent of the company, yesterday. “It was very kind of you, and personally gratifying, of course; but 1 wish it known that Mr. I,. H. Hill, secretary and treasurer, and Mr. T. E. Lovvern, superintendent, are really entitled to most credit for the excellent showing that the mills have made since I as sumed the presidency. 1 have taken care of the financial end of the busi ness, and looked after other matters of an executive nature to the best of my ability: hut the practical management of the mills during the period named remained entirely in the hands of Messrs. Hill and Lovvern. Say this much for me, please.” Under the provisions of the paving ordinance adopted by the City Council a short time ago, by the terms of which the city agrees to pay half the cost of tiling the sidewalks, the street committee decided to expend the en tire sum ($2,000) appropriated for this purpose the present year in tiling walks on Jackson street, Temple avenue and College street, as follows: From M. G. Keith’s corner to M, G. Farmer’s corner, Jackson street; from L. B. Mann’s corner to ,J. S. Gibson’s cor ner, Temple avenue; from Mrs. E. S. Dent’s corner to Dr. W. A. Turner’s corner, College street-making about 4,200 feet in all. The walks are to be six feet wide the entire distance. C. M. Amis it Co. have the contract, and the work, which has already com menced, is being done under the gener al supervision of Alderman H. C. Ar nall, jr., chairman of the street com mittee. A bill has been introduced in the Legislature by a member from one of the back settlements to abolish the of fice of County Treasurer. The hill should be killed on the spot. This of fice has been a veritable godsend to many a poor, decrepit old, citizen, who was unable either to work at manual labor or to perform the more exacting and intricate duties required in the oth er county offices—that of Clerk, Tax Re ceiver, or Tax Collector, for example. In Coweta county it has been the rule for many years to give the office of Treasurer to some deserving old citizen wlio, by reason of age, feebleness or physical affliction, was unable to earn a support by his own efforts. The office is rotated every two years, and has been the means of relieving genuine distress in a number of instances that can be recalled. In fact, the office of Treasurer is a very useful institution in Coweta, as it: doubtless is in other counties, and we couldn’t get along without it. Coweta fared well in the committee assignments in the Legislature this week, Doth in the House and Senate. Senator McCollum is chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Property, is vice-chairman of the Committee on State Sanitarium, and also a member of other important committees as fol lows : Agriculture, Appropriations, Special Judiciary, Public Roads, Rail roads, Temperance, and Western and Atlantic Railroad. In the House, Hon. Jos. T. Kirby is vice-chairman of the Committee on Corporations, ami also a member of other committees as fol lows: Appropriations, Education, Gen eral Education, Hygiene and Sanita tion, Labor and Labor Statistics, Priv ileges of Floor, Engrossing. Hon. M. H. Couch is vice-chairman of the Com mittee on Manufactures, and is also a member of other committees as fol lows : Banks and Banking, General Agriculture, State Sanitarium, immi gration, Privileges of Floor, Public Li brary, Special Judiciary, Temperance, Ways and Means, Western and Atlantic Railroad. A new farmers’ telephone line, hav ing six subscribers, has just been con nected with the Newnan exchange of the Southern Bell Telephone Co. The line extends 8 miles out the Carrollton road, and furnishes service to the fol lowing well - known people : Wahoo Manufacturing Co., office; Wahoo Man ufacturing Co., store; Dr. R. I.. Hood, residence; Richard Jackson, residence: T. B. Jones, residence; J. P. Ji n‘H, residence. The subscribers on the line are now in constant telephonic commu nication with each other, and through the Southern Bell exchange with tele phone users in Newnan. The construc tion of this line and its connection with the telephone eexhange here is another step in the progress of telephone devel opment which is being made by the residents in the rural sections of Cowe ta county. Under the plan of the Southern Bell Co. farmers and other rural dwellers are enabled to secure telephone service on an economical ba sis. As a result, farmers in all sec tions of the State are installing tele phones in their homes. Card of Thanks. We take this method of thanking our friends and neighbors for their kind ness and assistance to us during the illness and upon the death of our daugh ter. Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Addy. Haralson, Ga., July 7th. What We Have Done, With Your Help Some eight or nine years ago we opened our doors to the Nevy- nan public in a store-robm 18x66 feet. We had only about $500 to put into business, but believed we knew 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 lloor 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. We thank you for the patron age which has made this possible. HOLT & CATES CO. NEWNAN, GA.
