Martindale, a prom inent Presbyterian preacher of Biovvns- vilie, has been called to till the pulpit of the West Nashville Presbyterian church. Mr. Martindale has been the pastor of the Brownsville church for the past two years, and formerly had charges in Courtland, Ala., Tuskegee, Ala., and Newnan, Ga., all of which were crowned with success.

Ban ner. The opening’ of the Woman’s Ex change was a decided success. It was held on last Friday afternoon from 3 to 5, at the home of Mrs. Roy Merrell, on West Washington street, and was attended by quite a number of ladies. Miss Bennetta Orr received the guests, and Misses Nina Askew and Erma Treadaway served punch throughout the afternoon. The house was beauti fully decorated with potted plants and cut flowers, and the embroideries and fancy articles were artistically ar ranged for display. The Woman’s Ex change fills a long-felt need in Newnan —that of putting before the public the work of the women. It gives an oppor tunity to those who do fancy work and fancy cooking tor dipsosing of their wares, and gives those who cannot do such, an opportunity of obtaining them. To be found on the counters of the Woman’s Exchange are hand-em broidered articles of all kinds, hand made garments and drawn-work. Cakes, fancy candies, Irish potato chips, beaten biscuits and rosettes fur nished on short notice. Dressing dolls, making baby clothes, hemstitching and feather-stitching, are given special at tention. For further information call 'phone 242. Woman’s Foreign Missionary Con ference.

Senoitt Enterprise-Gazette, 30th ult. A pretty little baby girl has arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Love Bran denburg. Hiram, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Camp, has been quite sick this week. Mrs. Charles Mize, of Commerce, has been the guest of Mrs. Charles F. Sas ser for several days. Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Mann, of New nan, were in the city a short while Sun day en route home from Meriwether. Miss Kate Cock loft Saturday for Louisiana, where she goes to resume her work in the public school. Her sister, Miss Ruth, returned several days ago. S. C., the bright little ten-year-old soil of Mr. S. C. Travis, died Monday morning about 2 o'clock, after an ill ness of a little more than spasmodic croup. His many friends will be pleased to learn that Mr. Roy North now has a nice run as mail clerk on the Central railroad between Atlanta and Colum bus. The new home of Mr. L. L. Hutch inson is now nearing completion, and is indeed an ideal home, with all the mod ern conveniences to be had in a city the size of Senoia. It adds very much to the appearance of the east side of town. Mr. Wellborn B. Davis, who was our very efficient assistant for two years, later taking a business course in Atlan ta, has accepted a position in the office of Manget-Brannon Co., at Newnan, at a good salary. He is an excellent young man, and will make his way to the top. Senoia cannot be excelled as a cotton and cotton seed market, and the far mers are coming many miles to get the prices our buyers pav. Our cotton seed market is particularly lively, there be ing a number of buyers on the streets, and the price ranges between 33 and 35 cents per bushel to-day. Mr. C. F. Hollberg will begin in a few days the erection of a new brick build ing on the lot below his present stand. It will be a two-story building 30x100, with a nice plate-glass front, and all up-to-date fixtures. It will be by far the most modern and neatest store-house in the city. He expects to have it ready for occupancy by Dec. 1. An Enjoyable Occasion. On Sturday last Mr. Cliff Beavers and wife entertained the families of Messrs. Bert Grimes, Charlie Worth am, Claude Beavers. Bird Beavers, Joe Beavers, Ofha Beavers and John Hais- ten, at a fish-fry. The morning was spent in talking of the happy days of childhood, and recalling memories of the father and mother who reared their children and passed away at that place. At the noon hour dinner was spread in the beautiful grove, the table being laden with everything that the appe tite could desire. After all had eaten, and could eat no more, the grove rang with shouts, " Give us another fish- fry. ’ ’ We were well entertained in the af ternoon with music and social chat; but. alas! the time to part came on apace, and we reluctantly sought our several homes. May we live to meet often at these family reunions, and then gather at the last great reunion where parting is no more. A Guest. Card of Thanks. As it is impossible for us to express personally our thanks to the friends who ministered so willingly and kindly to us during the illness and upon the death of our dear little girl, we take this method of doing so. We thank you most sincerely. Never was more kind ness and thoughtfulness shown anyone than has been shown us by both friends and relatives. May God bless and crown your every effort. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Smith. Grantville, Ga., Sept. 20, 1009. '’Little Jug seems to be less polite than his predecessor. When a supli- cant said, ‘Pardon me, Governor,’ Hoke always said, ’Certainly, sir.’ ”—Sa vannah Press. Don’t forget that Hoke said ‘Cer tainly not’ in the case of Toni Watson’s client, the Augusta murderer. The teacher was telling of the effects of cigarette smoking on the heart, and added: “People with weak hearts often die.” A deeply interested boy asked her: ‘‘How often do they have to die be fore they stay dead?” Stunted bodies make stunted wills.
