fieraid and JMcertiser. NEWNAN, FRIDAY, A U G. 20. "Believe? nv\ 1 apeak as my und«*r« landing in- Btructa mu, and m mine hotu^ty inita it to utter ance." 1,Shakespeare. It’s hard to say which has gained the more notoriety out of the gourd Jonah or Joseph, the Governor of this triskaidekarchy, (l reckon it as the last of the original thirteen colonies.) Both had commissions—the one from Jehovah and the other from Georgians. The one was commissioned as envoy extraordinary to hold a camp-meeting at Nineveh, and the other to dispense ‘wisdom, justice and moderation” to a job lot of his Georgian constituents. [’he one laid down on i is commission and reposed in the shin • of his gourd; the other repaired to the Governor’s oflice and began the fulfillment of his campaign pledges, and invited callers to moisten their guzzles with water drank from his Cherokee gourd. The one vexed ‘‘Heaven’s all-ruling Sire” by his disobedience, and did penance by wearing a whalebone overcoat three days and three nights; the other was assailed by a partisan press for “adopt ing the methods of a demagogue.” He was rapped over the head with his gourd from Maine to Mexico, from Clem to California, by hysterical space- writers, who could see nothing hut a germ factory in the gurbernatoria! gourd. The one was made to eat hum ble pie and prophesy hot times for gentlemen of Nineveh, which prophesy failing to manifest, greatly peeved him ; the other sits steady in the boat of state and flings his ultimatum to the disgruntled grouchers. The gourd still hangs serenely by the water-cooler in tlie Governor’s ante-room, and men walk four blocks out of their way to sup a microbe off its well-used peri phery. Miss Evelyn, the charming daugh- cer of 1 ilnn. W. F. Brown, is the guest of Atlanta friends this week. Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Merrell, of Augusta, are the guests of Carrollton relatives. Miss Lurline Bierce, we regret to note, has been quite ill for the past week. •Miss Ida Reid, the charming Doth- anese young lady who has been spend ing several weeks with friends and rel atives here, returned home Thursday. Miss Nieie Cochran is visiting Summerville relatives. — Mr. Ernest Kramer, the efficient manager of the Western Insurance Co. of Georgia, spent Thursday in Macon and Griffin. She will lend a willing ear to the warbling of the joree, the kildee and the mocking-bird at Piedmont Springs for a couple of months, unless, after consulting her feelings. Miss Daisy Harris shall return to our gay and fes tive capital. There is one whose heart will grow happier when her bright smiles again lend their charms to Car rollton society. —As a globe-trotter Hon. H. C. Man- deville must look elsewhere tor a suc cessful competitor. He is one of that intelligent class who sees tilings when he arrives among the sights, and has a wonderful tact in describing the things he has seen. He is just home from an extended tour through the East and Canada. While in New York the new Lincoln penny was turned loose on the market. He procured several hundred and brought them home and has since given them out as souve nirs to his friends. The obverse side of the coin bears the iconograph of “Honest old Abe, the rail-splitter,” 4iid the legend, “In God We Trust. Liberty and the year 1900 are engraved on either side of the figure. On the J reverse side is the motto of the United States: “E Pluribus Unum,” and the words “one cent” and “United States of America.” It displays the numis matic skill of the designer very admir ably. —Mrs. Claude E. Smith and children ire spending the week in Hogansville. —Miss Carrie Shank is spending her vacation in Hogansville with her mother. —Mr. B. F. Bass has been at a sanita rium for the past week. His many friends wish him a speedy recovery. Mrs. .las. G. Cheney entertained the Home Mission Society Monday. She believes in expending missionary effort on the good old Anglo-Saxon 3tock. Mrs. Bryant Shellnut returned to Anniston Monday, after a fortnight’s visit to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. U. Merited. That excellent church worker, Mrs. H. R. Robinson, spent the week at the Blue Ridge Baptist Assembly. —In a small way the builders of the McDonough Masonic temple essay to fol low the example of the builders of the Tower of Babel. They have the edifice reared to the second story, and the brick the proper proportions of mud and have straw, as laid down by penteteuchal authority. The foreman’s cussin’ is all ione in English, and the hands are making no effort to abuse it; so there is not likely to be a confusion of tongues. The temple, when complet ed, will be to McDonough what Solo mon’s Temple was to the Holy City—a thing of beauty, to be admired by faith ful and profane alike. —Ector Hays, a young white man, was Killed Sunday evening at Roop- ville by Thos. Veal, a lad of 19 or 20. Both Veal and Hays are well connect ed. The tragedy is deeply deplored. Young Veal is now in the Carrollton jail. —Rev. Carl Minor, while ministering to the spiritual wants of the First Bap tist church, was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Coaison. He left Monday for Blue Ridge, where he goes to attend the Baptist Assembly. -What would the Park Improvement Club be without its lady members? They gave an ice cream festival Fri day afternoon that drew the folks like a public barbecue. -Newnan will lose one of the best hotel managers in Georgia on the retire ment of Mrs. l’iercie Moore from the management of her splendid hotel, the Virginia House. That excellent lady has leased her popular hostelry for a period of five years. If the lessee succeeds as well in entertaining a cap tious public was did his predecessor, he will have his house full all the time. May the good lady enjoy a much-need ed rest in her retirement. I fear the public will miss her. Coweta has a lot of good farmers, hut they do not thrive so well in the negro-infested districts id est, those districts that are over-populated with negroes. If called upon to give an opinion as to the most successful far mer in that county I’d nominate Leigh Potts. 1 would not he understood as saying I know them all, hut out of sev eral hundred who have made a success of their vocation Mr. Potts bears the palm. He is among the few who never get too much rain. He says he’s had many crops ruined for want of rain, hut not one by a superfluity of mois ture. This is obvious. He always fertilizes liberally, and it takes flugens of rain to make a crop thus prepared. Thou lackest but one thing—O thou jovial tickler of the soil- and that is that thou visiteth the farm of Carroll's scientific farmer, who produces prodi gious crops at Lum, (la., which same lies in the precincts of the Free State. Vide article on that farm which ap peared in these columns some weeks ago, and make a pilgrimage thither. —Hon. Lester C. Slade, of Columbus, is the guest of his parents. Prof, and Mrs. T. C. Slade. Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Hogan, accom panied by their daughter. Miss Mary, returned from Piedmont Springs Tues day. — Miss Ruth Whatley, of Newnan, is the guest of Mrs. J. F’. Creel. Miss Kate Edmond, who spent several weeks with the family of Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Kramer, returned to her home at Waco, Texas, Tuesday. —Mrs. J. T. Moore is spending the week in Newnan with her daughter, Mrs. Bob Hamrick. Mrs. Walter Millican, wife of our popular Ordinary, is spending the week in Alabama. —As producers of maize, Indian corn, or whatever name ye choose to call it, the Carroll county contingent of youth ful competitors for the following prizes are likely to teach their dads a thing or two about intensive corn-growing. School Commissioner Travis informs us the boys are raising corn crops that will put a crimp in the delta-grown crops of Louisiana. Prizes: For best ten ears of corn, $10 in gold, by Jack Travis; for second best ten ears, $5 in gold, by E. G. Kramer; for third best ten ears, pair $4 Crossett shoes, by W. C.

H. Harris. —Git your gun! The Texas lioll- weevil is scheduled to arrive in Carroll county at 3 o’clock, June 12, 1913. He will come equipped with his boring ma chine, and the thing you want to do is to break it off just back of his eye lashes. Without his auger he is no worse than a doodle. It may be that some of our entomologists who under stand conversing with bugs might meet the invaders on the Alabama line and engage them in a palaver, and insist, as a condition precedent to taking out homestead papers on our cotton patches, that they leave their gimlets behind. —Judge Bill Brown, our able Repre sentative, deserves the thanks of the ral colleges in getting as much as $10,- 000 per annum each. —Mrs. L. D. Hearn, accompanied by her charming little tots, are visiting relatives at Whitesburg. —That old Confederate veteran. Col. Geo. W. Merrell. is one of the best af ter dinner speakers in these diggins. He attended the Confederate reunion at Bremen Wednesday. To say that he electrified his audience with his fine flights of oratory would put the simile very mildly. He flung numerous spell binding bolts of warm talk among them, and you’d have thought from the yells that rose from the throng that Pickett was again making his cel ebrated charge on Round Top at Get tysburg. The war is over, but the hoys got mighty enthusiastic for gore when the old man told them how we used to mop the earth with Yankee hams, and made them scoot when we went after them with our triangular mowing-blades--Letter known as bay onets. It’s mighty fine to hear him tell how 25.000 of Longstreet’s men withstood 100,000 of the enemy at the railroad cut at the Second Manassas fight. If you are after the stygomia you can best put him out of business by de stroying his nest, which is any puddle of water or mud. Clean up your yards and lots. Sprinkle the whole face of dirty earth with lime, lime, lime, no matter if it does cost a dime, dime, dime ! —It is said by the “timid ones” that ex-Gov. Smith is still to rule the State, albeit a private citizen. This informa tion is gleaned from his address to a bunch of seventy-five commercial travelers a few evenings since at his Peachtree street home. There isn’t much danger of the ex-Governor run ning things his own way. He is a fine loup garou with which to keep our forces solidly arrayed. He has some warm partisans who admire him, and from time to time we may expect them to make pyrotechnic displays of their devotion. But, Time, the great level- er, will point out a better way for the deposed chieftain than to pose as an uncrowned leader of a disappointed op position. — Gov. Joe Brown is not one of your 2x4 peanut politicians. He has a head, a heart, and a fine regard for the people’s wishes. No one knows this better than the people of Newnan and Cmveta county, who saw him reappoint that good Hoke Smith man. Col. W. L. Stallings, Solicitor of the City Court. It is true Col. Stallings was opposed by a splendid young man, but a majority of the people seemed to want him to fill the office, and in obedienee to their wishes, and laying aside all partisan rancor, our level-headed Governor yielded to their demands. Hooray for Little Jce! Long live Stallings!—and may he make the office a stepping-stone to higher honors in the line of his pro fession—the Judgeship of the Superior Court, for instance. The old-timers have learned that it doesn’t pay to chase your own hat. Somebody else will be s ire to run after it and bring' it to you. That’s one of the established facts in human experi ence. The other day Representative Victor Murdock, of Kansas, rebuked a friend for starting to chase his awn hat. “Never do it,” he said. “Somebody will bring it to you. ” “Well, you ought to know,” replied the other man. “Kansas-is the wind iest place on the map.” “Yes,” replied Murdock, “it's so windy out there that when a man's hat blows off he never thinks of following it. He just sticks his hand up BOYS, Only Twenty Studeba- ker Wagons Left. I’m going to sell them. No weather beaten vehicles in the lot. If you need a wagon come to see me; know I can sell you. Better Buggies, for less money, than any dealer on earth can offer. My Harness are all made from the best Western stock that money will buy. Come to see me; I’m always at home. Jack: Powell. J. H.
