Smith, the well-known business man, will learn with much pleasure that he had greatly improved in health since visiting Borden-Wheeler Springs. He is now at the springs recuperating from his recent illness, and is expected home soon. A short time ago Mr. Smith was taken ill, and for several days was in a serious condition at his home in College Park. He has been at the springs for some time, and re ports from him state that he is greatly improved and rapidly regaining his health.—Atlanta Journal. The announcement of the engage ment of Miss Annie A. McCalla, of Heardmont, Ga., to Mr. J. Howard Perdue, of Birmingham, Ala., has been received with great interest by her many Georgia friends. Miss McCalla represents one of the oldest and most distinguished families of South Caro lina. She has not only been a social favorite in Georiga and South Caroli na, but has been a feted belle at both American and European resorts. Mr. Perdue is a man of strong personal magnetism, and is one of the brightest and most popular young members of the Alabama bar.—Atlanta Journal. The Salmagundi Club, Newnan’s most exclusive ladies’ social organiza tion, inaugurated the fall and winter season with a series of brilliant recep tions this week. The club was enter tained Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. P. B. Murphey and Mrs. Sanders Gibson, at the home of Mrs. Gibson, ar.d again yesterday afternoon by Mrs. R. O. Jones and Miss Julia May Hackney, at the home of Miss Hackney. This af ternoon, from 4 to 6, Mrs. Frank Rawls will entertain the club at a bridge par ty, and other functions are scheduled for the coming fall months by differ ent members of the organization. Miss Neilie Lou Walton is president of the club. Our cotton warehouses are now be ginning to get busy, a"d for the next four months will have all they can do to handle the cotton that comes to Newnan. The Farmers’ Warehouse is again in charge of Mr. J. A. Stephens as manager, with Mr. R. H. Ware as weigher, and a full corps of truckmen and samplers. Messrs. A, R. Burdett & Co. will operate two warehouses this season—the Powel warehouse and the Murray warehouse. Messrs. J. H. Summers and L. A. Grimes will man age the Powel warehouse, and Messrs. W. B. Martin and F. L. Lyle will be in charge at the Murray warehouse. The shippers for both warehouses are Messrs. A. II. Arnold and W. II. Duke. Millinery Announcement. — Our mil linery department has been reorgan ized, and is now under a new manage ment. We were fortunate enough to secure the services of Miss Forrester, a milliner of the finest talent and large experience. Under the spot cash plan we own our stock of millinery, and are therefore enabled to sell very much cheaper than heretofore. By selling for cash we can be satisfied with a smaller profit. We are preparing one of the largest and most varied collec tions of fall and winter styles ever seen in this section, and promise a treat for all lovers of artistic milli nery. Our opening will be held Wed nesday and Thursday, Sept. 29 and 3U. Boone-Stripling Co. As Mr. J. W. Ingram and his daugh ter, of Panther. Creek district, were driving to town yesterday morning, and when at a point a short distance this side of the Central railroad crossing, they encountered an automobile on the highway. They were in a surrey, and driving a pair of mules that had never seen an automobile. The animals be came badly frightened and left the road, jumping into a ditch by the road side and pulling the vehicle after them. Mr. Ingram and his daughter had enough presence of mind to jump before the vehicle capsized, else they would have been badly hurt. The only damage, fortunately, was some broken harness—but for a few minutes Mr. Inrgam was mad enough to fight a preacher. The name of the automo- bilist was not learned. and has been located since in St. Louis. Dr. Bradley’s boyhood days were spent at Lone Oak, in Meriwether county, and he was at one time a pupil of Hon. S. E. Leigh. His surprising action in renouncing his mother church and espousing the Congregational faith is evidence that the charges of heresy preferred against him four years ago were pretty well founded. At a called meeting of the City Coun cil Monday night the question of tak ing the census next spring was dis cussed. Much interest was manifest ed, as it is desired by Council that Newnan’s population shall be reported fully and accurately in the new Federal census—which was not the case in 1900, as everyone knows. In order to se cure a complete and accurate enumera tion of the city’s population the Mayor and Aldermen have requested Hon. E. T. Moon, supervisor of the census for this district, to appoint Mr. J. P. Shackleford, chief of police, as enu merator for the city of Newnan. Mr. Shackleford has just completed a police census, and the work was done thor oughly and intelligently, his long ser vice on the police force giving him an acquaintance in the city that proved of great advantage in making the enu meration. The motive of the City Council in recommending Mr. Shackle ford for the position of enumerator, therefore, will be fully appreciated by our people, all of whom should be in terested in having Newnan make a creditable showing in the next census. The presentation of “Forgiven” at the auditorium on Friday night. Sept. 24. will mark the second annual en gagement of the distinguished young actor, Lionel Lawrence, as one of the opening attractions of the season. At the recent meeting of the “Southern Theatrical Managers’ Association,” when the open door proposition was discussed and turned down. Klaw * Erianger, the “syndicate” booking agents that were awarded the con tracts, found themselves faced with the proposition of providing attrac tions of more than ordinary merit for the season, in which they promise to eclipse all former efforts. Newnan be ing, so to speak, one of the “key” towns of the South, was naturally in a position to demand attractions of more than passing merit. The selection of “Forgiven” as one of the introductory offerings is but an evidence of the farsightedness of these men, who have so successfully cornered the theatrical business of the country. The audito rium management are to be congratu lated upon having secured this attrac tion. Prominent among the support of the star are Walter E. Cuneo, Sher idan Holmes, John F. Goodwin, W. G. O’Neil, Frederick Neifert, Sam Wilson, Miss Mrytle Churchill, Miss Jennie Pruning, Miss Flora Nelson, and “Baby” Goodwin. Local theatregoers will be pleased to learn that Mr. Lionel Lawrence, who so capably played the “Devil” in Henry W. Savage’s production of that name at the auditorium last season, will appear here again on Friday night. Sept. 24, in his new play for this sea son, the romantic comedy drama, “For given.” This is a play of the South, and is full of heart interest, mingling the tears with the smiles. Mr. Law rence will carry a cast of superior excellence, and a scenic equipment second to none, and feels sure of again meriting our approval. While it is quite a step from the role of Dr. Mil ler in the “Devil” to that of Jack Dia mond, a sportsman in the ante-bellum days of the South, as he appears in “Forgiven,” we have no hesitancy in assuring theatregoers that the ability of Mr. Lawrence will enable him to leap the gap and give entire satisfac tion, surpassing even his remarkable work of last season. Rev. Dr. Henry Stiles Bradley, at one time a popular minister of the North Georgia Conference, but who for the past three years has been serving as pastor of St. John’s M. E. church, South, at St. Louis, has renounced Methodism and resigned to accept the pastorate of a Congregational church at Worcester, Mass. It will be re called that when the North Georgia Conference met in Newnan four years ago Dr. Bradley was tried for heresy, but was acquitted. The following year he was transferred to the St. Louis Conference of the M. E. Church, South The Bank of Raymond. The stockholders of the Bank of Ray mond will have a barbecue at Ray mond to-morrow afternoon in celebra tion of the successful organization of that enterprise. There are about fifty stockholders, including many of the most substantial citizens of that com munity, and the bank begins business with a strong local backing, and with a strong and popular directorate as well. Hon. S. T. Blalock, the president, is one of the most successful business men in the State, with many years’ experience as a banker and merchant. He is president of the Bank of Fayette ville, president of a big mercantile company at the same place, director in a number of other enterprises, and is also a large landowner. The writer has known Mr. Blalock intimately for thirty years, and if he needed any word of commendation he could get it at our hands without reservation;—but he doesn’t need it. Mr. E. J. Bailey, the cashier, is well-known to the people of Goweta county, and trusted and es teemed by everyone. That he will make a popular and accommodating bank official goes without saying. By the way, we understand that the stock of this bank has been so largely oversubscribed that the directors are considering the advisability of increas ing the capitalization from $25,000 to $40,000. More Trouble for the Corporations. In order to carry out the provisions of the rceent law passed by Congress imposing a special excise tax upon all corporations whose net earnings exceed $5,000, Revenue Collector Rucker, of Atlanta, has instructed his deputies throughout the State to take a census of the corporations doing business in their respective districts. The depu ties are also instructed to go back over the records and secure a list of all cor porations ever chartered, and then com pare the list with the records in the Ordinary’s office in each county and ascertain which corporations are now existent. The revised list, show ing the name and capitalization of every live corporation, is then placed in the hands of the Revenue Collector. The different corpora tions are classified as follows: First, financial and commercial; second, pub lic service corporations; third, indus trial and manufacturing companies; fourth, mercantile firms; fifth, all oth er corporations and associations not in cluded in the above classifications. The tax is levied only upon net incomes in excess of $5,000, and the tax is fixed at one per cent. Returns must be made to the Collector of Internal Revenue on or before March 1. 1910, and shall cover the entire calendar year ending Dec. 31, 1909. Blanks are furnished by the Collector of Revenue upon which returns shall be made by the corpora tions. There are a number of corpora tions in Newnan whose net incomes will exceed $5,000, and it is safe to say that the law will prove very unpopular here.
