ficrald and Advertiser. NEW NAN, FRIDAY, NOV. 5. j Locals Brought Forward. || Rev. W. J. Cotter preached to the inmates of the County Farm at ;i o’clock Sunday afternoon, and probably enjoyed the service as much as did his small but attentive congregation. Speaking of the service Bro. Cotter said: "It was a lovely clay, and na ture was never more beautiful in her autumnal splendor. The congregation gave earnest attention to the sermon, which was from the text: ‘Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven.’ The singing was excellent, considering the age and infirmities of the singers. The place should be called ’County Home’ instead of ‘County Farm.’ for it is indeed a home -comfortable houses, gardens, fields, orchards, cows, hogs, horses and chickens. The site is an ideal one, and the home a monument to the good judgment and humane purpose of the founders, as well as a credit to the county.’’ The many friends of Mrs. A. E. Pope throughout the county will he deeply pained to learn of her death, which oc curred about 12 o'clock last night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. W. Bowers, in this city. Her death re sulted from a complication of ailments, and from the infirmities of age, she having passe i some time ago her 84th birthday. She was a remarkable wo man in many respects, and much ad mired and esteemed by those who en joyed the privilege of intimate ac quaintance with her. She had been twice married, and is survived only by her two daughters, Mrs. Judson Pinson and Mrs. J. W. Bowers, besides several grandchildren. The funeral will take place to-morrow (Saturday) morning at 10 o’clock, from the First. Baptist church. The interment will he at Oak Hill. Mrs. Frank S. Loftin, of Franklin, who had been for several weeks on a visit to her daughter, Mrs. W. P. Gearreld, died Friday night. She had been ill for a week or more with a se vere throat trouble, but her condition was not so serious as to alarm her fam ily and friends. She grew suddenly worse on Friday, however, and Friday night she died. Her death was a great shock to the community, and caused much sorrow among her friends, both here and in Franklin. Shu was a most estimable woman, loved and admired by all who knew her. and was thoroughly appreciated in Newnan, where much of her time had been spent in recent years. She is survived by her husband. Col. Frank S. Loftin. of Franklin, and one daughter, Mrs. W. P. Gearreld, of this city. The remains were carried to Franklin Saturday morning, and on Sunday were interred in the cemetery at that place. Ordinary's Court.

Decidedly the most delightful enter tainment of the seasoon was the hal- lowe’en party given at the Coweta Club Monday evening by the young ladies of Newnan to the young men of the club. Hallowe’en presents opportunities, more than any other season, for novel and attractive decorations, and on this occasion they were very artistic. In the corners of the entrance-hall, dancing-hall and reading-rooms were corn husks, shocks of corn and brilliant autumn leaves, studded with jack-o’- ianterns. On the walls were fiery black cats, gruesome bats and wicked witches. The chandeliers were covered with yellow shades. In a side room, in a weird little nook, fortunes were told by a roost bewitching witch, who made one believe that the future held onlv that to he desired. Most of the jolly crowd attended en masque, and wind ing-sheets and peaked bonnets consti tuted the disguise. The grand inarch, led by Mr. and Mrs O. D. Gorman, began at 9:30, partners for the march being deter mined by corresponding numbers. Mu- sic was furnished py Prof. Chas. Astin. Several couples enjoyed a spirited game of bridge in the reading-rooms. The ladies’ prize, a bottle of toilet wa ter, was won by Mrs. H. P. Woodroof. Mr. O. D. Gorman drew the gentle man's prize—a handsome pearl-handled knife. At II :30 a delightful picnic lunch, consisting of salads, sandwiches, pick les, fried chicken, etc., was enjoyed, after which dancing was continued un til a late hour. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. H. P. Woodroof, Mr. and Mrs. O. D. Gorman, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Israel, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Platt, Misses Ruth Hardaway, Ruth Dent, Ysabel Salbide, Milton Keith, Julia Mae Hackney, Louise Gearreld, Martha Wright, Lourette Simms.

Speer, who resigned his position as superintendent of water works at Carrollton about some weeks ago, is now in the City of Mexico, where he will probably locate. We take the liberty of priming an extract from aj'* private letter received recently from Capt. Speer, which will be read with interest by his friends— "Coming here from Laredo. Texas— a distance of nearly 1,200 miles—we cross the Tropic of Cancer, and you’d think, descending into the 22d or 23d parallel of latitude, that it would be warm. Why, man alive!—they had a frost two or three weeks ago that killed all the corn for a thousand miles in area. So early a frost in this lati tude is, of course, rare. Many people never saw such a thing before, and it may be a lifetime before such another calamity occurs. "This in a big city. She puts on the airs of our own big towns. There are some beautiful parks and plazas. The streets are beautifully paved, and well lighted with electricity. Instead of poles, the lights are hoist on symmet rical iron posts, which curve graceful ly at the top, and from the lower end of the curves depends the electric globe. All telephone and telegraph wires are underground. “I went out to see the cathedral yesterday. It covers six acres of ground, and millions of money have been squandered on it. Some of the fixtures have solid silver bases weigh ing thousands of pounds. "I am promised a seat at the bull fight to-morrow, (Sunday.) This is al ways a gala day with the Mexicans. Strange, too, inasmuch as the devils are such devout Catholics; yet, of all days, Sunday is Bet apart for fun and frolic. “I shall go to Chapultepec, the Mex ican "White House,’’ in a day or so. The people here regard it and Presi dent Diaz as the whole show.’’ Capt. Speer’s present address is 2d Guerrero No. 33, Mexico City. Merchants Will Close Thanksgiving Day.

Young purchased a 20 horse power traction engine with which he intends to cultivate his big 600-acre farm at Waterloo. The engine is said to do the work of six men and eighteen mules. Mr. Young only has 150 acres stumped of the 600 acres in cultivation, but intends to stump the balance this fall and winter.-Tifton Gazette. Play wright — “ My new play was brought out last night. At the close of the first act there were loud and per sistent calls for ttie author.” Simpleton — "You don’t say. To think they could be so vindictive as that” YOUNG DUCKS. They Have No Instinctive Impulse t>o Enter the Water. It has turned out, under the search ing experimentation of recent years, that much that we have supposed to be instinct in animals Is not Instinct at all. For example.' the .voting duck proves to have no instinctive impulse to enter tlie water, does not recognize the element liy sight and Is. in short, in precisely the same situation as n chick until, by happy chance, it gets Its legs wot. Wet legs, however, and the lift of (he water on the body at once start up the swimming reaction, and away sails the duckling, as chick ens and children do not. The chick, on its part, has a definite instinct to peck at any small object that catches its eye. That takes care of its feeding. But the chick lias no corresponding instinct to drink and would die of thirst before it would recognize water by sight alone. Drink ing it has to learn for Itself by peck ing at dewdrops or spots of light on the surface of the water or particles at the bottom of its cup. Even the hen. contrary to general belief, proves to have no instinctive fear of the wa ter for her offspring. A hen that has raised a few broods of ducks anil seen them take to the water becomes highly distressed when a subsequent hatch of chickens do not swim. In fact, hens have been reported under these cir cumstances to lead their chicks to the waterside and push them in.—Mc Clure's Magazine. NESTS IN GULF WEED. Breeding Place of the Plying Fish In tho Sargasso Sea. In the middle of the north Atlantic there is an area of comparatively still water almost equal to continental Europe in extent and more or less covered with floating seaweed. It was known as the Mar do Sargaco to Co lumbus and the early navigators and is the Sargasso sea of modern geog raphers. The floating seaweed was formerly supposed to have grown near the Ba hama and Florida shores and to have drifted to its present position. It is now, however, known to grow and propagate itself where it is found. In it are found globular masses of weed containing tisb eggs and known as fish nests. Investigations show that the floating weed of the Sargasso sea is the chosen breeding place of species of flying lish. The eggs found In the nests were at tributed to certain species of fish found resting on them, but careful examina tion of the eggs shows that they really belong to flying fish. Apparently, however, the flying fish ilo not make (he nests themselves. Each end of the egg of these lish Is furnished with bunches of very long filamentary tendrils, and h.v means of these the finely divided branches of the Sargassom weed have been caught together in globular masses. The eggs may be said to have made their own nest.—London Field. Bismarck and 3. Bismarck fiad an intense aversion to 13. but a veneration for the num ber 3. Ills reasons for bis pre dilection were Unit be served three masters; he was responsible for and fought in Three great wars; lie sigm-d three treaties of peace: lie arranged the meeting of three emperors; he es tablished the triple alliance; In the Franco-Prussian war t hree horses were killed under him: he hud three names (Bismarck. Schoenhausen and Lunen burg); be acquired three titles (count, prince, dukei: the ancient arms of his family are a leaf of clover and three oak leaves. His family motto. “In trluitate rolntr" (’Strength in trin ity”), was surely In itself sufficient to give a leaning In this particular direc tion. So closely were Ids feelings as sociated with the triple number that thp caricaturists represented him with three hairs on bis bead. He had three children.

"In Babylon nmmir- ried women were graded by the slate according to their looks.
