| Locals Brought Forward. |j
Mr. J. D. Arnold, of the Second dis-
rict, has the sympathy of everyone in
the loss of his beloved companion,
whose death occurred Sunday night,
after a short illness. She was a good
woman—a noble example of wifehood
and motherhood—and her taking off is
mourned by hosts of friendB through
out the county,
Mr. J. H. Cotter, who has been con
nected with the Panama Canal for sev
eral years, was in the city this week
shaking hands with his many friends.
Mr. Cotter is on leave of absence on
account of his health, and will spend
several months in the States before re
suming his duties on the Isthmus. —La-
Grange Reporter.
A mammoth eagle was shot and
killed on Mr. R. H. Ware’s place, near
Handy, one day last week. It meas
ured seven feet from tip to tip, and
was killed while in the act of abducting
a full-grown rooster from the farm
yard. it was on exhibition at the Mur
ray warehouse Saturday, and attracted
a good deal of notice.

home-raised Appier seed oats, grown

Mr. Herring raised on ordinary upland

H. C. Glover Co.
On Tuesday next Mr. ,1. H. McKoy
will sell at public outcry his house at
the corner of Jackson and Madison
streets, now occupied by Mrs. Ella
Brown as a boarding-house. It is a val
uable property, and will doubtless
bring a good round price. At the same
time he will sell the 5-room cottage at
'JOli Spring street, now occupied by Mr.
W. L. Sexton. See advertisement.
Helen Stuart, John Mylie and Burt
Eaton form as clever a trio of funsters
as any that have ever been secured for
the Young Woman's Auxiliary. Mrs.
Roy Cole will also attend as a delegate
from the Western Association.
The Coweta Fertilizer Co. has moved
into its handsome new quarters over
the Newnan Banking Co., and General
Manager Fisher and his assistants are
as proud of their suite of offices as a
boy with his first knife. The dimen
sions of the main office are about 20x30
feet, and tnere is also a cozy private
office for the general manager. A mas
sive brick vault, built up from the first
floor, affords ample and safe storage
for all the company’s records, and ad
joining it on one side is a spacious
stock-room where the office supplies
are kept. The rooms are furnished
with lights, tavatories and a closet, and
all the conveniences and accessories of
a modern office. General Manager
Fisher extends a cordial invitation to
his farmer friends to drop in and see
him in his new quarters.
B. C. Whitney’s famous Broadway
success, "The Show Girl,” laden with
humor and wearing the mystic cap
which R. A. Barnett designed for he
when "The Boston Cadets” brought
her out, will smile upon the amuse
ment seekers at the auditorium Wed
nesday night, Nov. 3. "The Show
Girl” has received careful attention,
and money has been expended without
stint on the costumes and scenery. A
typical Whitney chorus, dazzling as to
beauty and daintily arrayed, has been
provided, and a cast ot principals said
to be better than any Mr. Whitney has
so far selected. The cast is neaded by
the following well-known metropolitan
favorites: John Mylie, Helen Stuart,
Burt Eaton, Mnrv Orth, Stella Rine
hart, Ellwsorth Ellis, Harry Border,
Clem Johnson, and Rodney and Bar-
telle; also, a large chorus of dancing
girls.
A Brilliant Nuptial Event.
A brilliant event of the autumnal
season was the wedding of Miss Nancy
Clare Freeman and Mr. William Ken
neth Stringer, of Belton, S. C., the
ceremony taking place at the residence
of the bride’s parents, Judge and Mrs.
R. W. Freeman, on Greenville street,
Wednesday evening, Dr. It. J. Bigham
officiating. The Freeman home is one
of the handsomest in the city, and with
ils spacious rooms thrown open and ar-
tisically decorated, it presented a scene
of unusual beauty. Throughout the
house the color scheme was carried out
with chrysanthemums of white and
golden tints, shedding abroad their
beauty and fragrance from mantels and
cabinets, and showing cloud-like amid
feathery ferns and stately palms. At
one end of the front drawing-room,
where the sacred rites were solemn-
zed, palms and ferns en masse formed
musical extravaganza, and it is an arch of luxurious green, on either
their merry quips and ludicrous antics
that do so much toward making B. C.
Whitney’s famous Broadway musical
success, "The Show Girl,” which will
be seen at the auditorium next Wed
nesday night, the tremendous success
of effusive laughter that it is.
At the regular quarterly conference
of the First Methodist church Monday-
night it was decided to defer the work
of remodeling the church building until
next spring. The building committee
had advertised for bids for the im
provements projected, an I it was an
ticipated that the work would be
starred right away, but the conference
decreed otherwise. At the same meet
ing Mr. D. T. Manget was electee) su
perintendent of the Sunday-school for
the coming year.
Help Find My Dog. —Strayed from
Arthur Sewell’s place, near ItORCoe, on
Monday, 25th inst., my pointer dog.
The dog is compactly built, medium
height, and weighs 45 to 50 lbs. White
all over except ears, which are brown ;
V-shaped notch in one ear: white fore
head. Scar from barb wire wound on
one foreleg, high up. Tail about 12
inches in length. Answers to name of
"Snap.” I will pav $10 reward if de
livered either to me or to Arthur Sew
ell. Thos. Cole.
It will gratify his many friends to
know that Mr. J. W. Jones, of River
side, who has been at Saranac Lake,
N. Y.. the past six months for the ben
efit of his health, is steadily improving,
and strong hopes are now entertained
that he will return home in a short
while fully restored. He was attending
the State School of Technology when
stricken with the illness from which he
is now recuperating, and the enforced
abandonment of his studies was a keen
disappointment to him. He had taken a
high stand in all his classes, and had
a promising career before him.
"The Deestrick Skule,” given at the
auditorium Friday night, was a big
success in every respect. Nearly
every seat in the house was sold,
while the entertainment itself was one
of the most, laughable and enjoyable
ever witnessed in Newnan. We regret
that a pressure of other matter forbids
a more detailed account of the alfair,
much as we would like to give it. The
proceeds amounted to something over
$160, which will go to the fund that
is being raised by the ladies of the
First Methodist church to purchase pul
pit furniture and carpets for the new
church.
Mr. J. W. Fulmer, who moved from
this county to Memphis, Term., in the
early 80’s, afterwards going to Los
Angeles, Cal., where he resided about
fifteen years, died at the last-named
place on the 21st inst. The remains were
carried to Goodwater, Ala., for inter
ment. He was reared near Moreland,
and at the outbreak of the Civil War
entered the Confederate service, being
attached to Gen. N. B. Forrest’s com
mand. After the war he returner! to
his old home and remained until his re
moval to Memphis several years later.
He was successful in business in his
new home, and amassed a considerable
fortune. His numerous Coweta friends
will be grieved to learn of his death.
Mrs. N. B. Hudson. Mrs. Thos. J.
Jones, Mrs. D. S. Summers, and Misses
Ruth Cole and Lizzie Belle Farmer
have been chosen as delegates to the
State meeting of the Woman’s Baptist
Missionary Union to be held at Hart- , • , .,
well on Nov. 2-5. The three first named j to ih! hrbf is n n w

mounted with brass jardiniers holding
gorgeous clusters of shaggy white
chrysanthemums.
Promptly at 8 o’clock, to the strains
ot Mendelssohn's "Wedding March,”
played by Miss Fannie Hill Herring,
the bridal party descended the stair
way, forming a line of march through
the long hallway into the drawing
room. where they grouped themselves
in a semi-circle before the chancel arch
of glossy green. The bride entered
with her father, and was met by the
groom with his best man, Mr. Thos.
Allen, of Anderson. S. C. The regal
beauty of the bride never showed to
better advantage than in her wedding
gown of white satin, with trimmings of
se^-d pearls. Her veil was gracefully
draped and fastened to the soft brown
hair with a brooch of pearls. She wore
a necklace of pearls and diamonds, the
gift of the groom, and her flowers
were orchids showered with lilies of
the valley. The bridesmaids wore
gowns of white chiffon over white sat
in, and carried bouquets of yellow
chrysanthemums. r| hey were six in
number, including Miss Ruby Lovejoy
and Miss Susie Martin of Newnan,
Miss Clare Deane of Dawson, Miss Lil
lian Akin of Atlanta, Miss Em Mae
Tate of Elberton, and Miss Mattie
Chappell of Macon. Miss Ruth Cole,
the maid of honor, wore white chiffon
over yellow satin, and carried a bou
quet of white chrysanthemums. Misses
Mary Freeman and Katherine Parks,
the daint;v ribbon-bearers, and Miss
Frances Glover, the lovely little flower
girl, wore soft white lingerie frocks,
with ribbons and sashes of gold.
A brilliant reception followed the
ceremony, during which elegant re
freshments were served, the color mo
tif being artistically carried out in the
menu. At the bride's table in the din
ing-room the wedding attendants and
out-of-town guests were served, the
table being decorated with a plateau
of chrysanthemums and ferns resting
on a handsome cover of cluny lace ove r
yellow satin. On either side were yel
low Bhaded candelabra, and silver
dishes of white and golden bon bons
had places about the table.
The bride's cake furnished a spirited
contest in the drawing of the prophetic
symbols. Miss Mattie Chappell drew
the ring. Miss Em Mae Tate the dime,
and Miss Ruth Cole the luckless thim
ble. To each of her attendants the
bride presented a monogram pin as a
souvenir of the occasion.
Throughout the evening punch was
served by Miss Frances Arnold, in an
embowered nook on the balcony.
Miss Nannie Louise Hill presided
over the bride's book, wearing a gown
of cream silk mull, hand-embroidered.
Mrs. Freeman received Per guests
wearing a gown of grey silk, with
trimmings of cut steel.
Miss Eva Stringer, sister of the
groom, wore a gown of wistaria silk,
trimmed with bands of iridescent em
broidery.
Among the out-of-town gue-it3 were
Mr. Thos. Allen. Anderson, S. C. ; Miss
Eva Stringer. Mr. J. A. Horton, Mrs.
Alice Latimer and Miss Larimer, Bel
