(’otter, our venerable and beloved townsman, who is attending the North Georgia Conference in At lanta this week, seems to be attracting more atention than any other member of that distinguished body. We are not surprised. He is one of the best men on earth, loved and esteemed by every man, woman and child who knows him. Noting his presence at conference, the Atlanta Journal says— An interesting figure among several of particular interest at the North Georgia Conference, is Rev. W. J. Cotter, of Newnan, a superannu ated minister. “Yesterday 1 was 86 years old,” he said “Sixty-five years ago yesterday 1 was licensed and rec ommended to the church conference. For 53 years 1 served in the regular work. My cup of joy ought to be fuller than any man’s on this floor. I have never reproached myslf for asking for the superannuated relation, for the reason that I did not want to stand in the way of men who were more active than myself.” He recalled some of the earlier pastors, nearly all of whom are dead “1 feel desolate and lonely,” he said, his white beard shaking with emotion. Later: “1 have been in the hands of more presiding elders proba bly than any other man in this body. In one charge where I served four years 1 had four presiding elders.” Bishop Hendrix: “Did it take four to make one in those days?” "Oh, no, sir, “was Rev. Cotter’s vigorous denial. “Every one of them was up to the full measure of a man, and running over.” The Atlanta Constitution of to-day also has the following reference to the venerable divine Rev. W. J. Cotter, of Newnan. is a central figure at the North Georgia Con ference, in session at St. Haul’s church, as he is at each conference annually. He is the oldest member of the confer ence, both in age and in the number of years spent in the service of the Lord, lie brought tears to more than one pair of eyes as he stood at the beginning of the session and made a brief talk, in this talk he stated that he celebrated his 86th birthday on Tuesday, Nov. 16, and at the same time celebrated the sixty-fifth anniversary of his ordination as a mem ber of the Methodist church. Forsixty- (ive years he has been a servant in the army of the Lord, and the present is the sixty-fourth annual conference he has attended. Although he is fourscore and almost ten, (nearly a score more t han the allotment to man promised by the Book,) he is able to get about nice ly by the use of a heavy cane. He stated at this conference that he had held fifty-three regular charges, which meant more churches, for in some in stances there were as many as twenty churches under him at one time. He declared that, he had been under more presiding elders than any other member of the conference. Mr. Cotter has been superannuated for six years now, but has never given up preaching, often times filling a pulpit in Coweta and sur rounding counties, lie is seated well Mown in front, and is treated with the utmost warmth and cordiality. MAKING GOOD IN 11 IS WESTERN HOME. The following brief sketch of Judge Presley B. Cole, who removed from Coweta to Ok laohma several years ago, will be read with interest and pleasure by his many friends in this county, where he wns born and reared. The article is from the McAlester (Okla.) Herald of Nov. 3, which says: “Judge Presley B. Cole, the man who defied and defeated the Coal Trust in his race for the Judgeship, after they had spent thousands of dollars and exert ed every available effort, and resorting to all kinds of strategy and employing men and speakers to fight him in every precinct in his district. His able, fair and impartial rulings have attracted at tention all over the State, lie is setting precedents that have proven a guide for the judiciary throughout the State, lie was the first Judge in the State to take the initiative and hold that State Courts had jurisdiction in criminal cases originating prior to Statehood. The bar feared it was a mistake and urged the Judge to wait for a decision of the Supreme Court in a case appealed just after Statehood, but he calmly said, ‘l have studied these questions. The State Court has jurisdiction. 1 will not wait for a precedent from the Supreme Court, tint will make one for them to follow. ’ He did so, and the Supreme Court upheld his opinion in every re spect. He has dealt justly to all alike, and we may here say that he has earned the term applied before his election as the ‘People’s Judge.’ His term of office expires next year, and he will undoubt edly enter the race for re-election. ,, '~ record will be his platform.” His Merchants Will Close Thanksgiving Day. We, the undersigned merchants of Newnan, as is our custom, agree to close our stores the entire day of Thurs day, Nov. 25, (Thanksgiving day:) P. F. Cuttino & Co., Barnett, St. John & Co., R. M.

At the citizens’ meeting held in the court-house Tuesday night Alderman Askew made the statement that the street committee had spent this year, up to Nov. 15, the sum of $10,01X1. The undersigned, as members of the street committee, desire to correct Alderman Askew’s statement. From Jan. 1 to Nov. I the street committee spent for sewer-pipe, lumber, brick, ce ment, flagstones, lime, etc., the sum of $2,435.32. From Jan. 1 to Nov. 15 the street committee expended in wages the sum of $2,161.59. This makes a total of $4,599.91—less than half the amount that Alderman Askew claims has been spent on the streets of Newnan the present year. We submit the foregoing, not so much in defense of our record as members of the street committee, but in order that the citi zens of Newnan may know the truth (The above expenditures do not in clude the sum of $2,250 appropriated by the City Council for tiling the side walks.) J. T. Swint. Chm’n., H. C. Arnall, jr., E. G. Cole. Death of D. H. Bowers. We regret to note the death of D. H. Bowers, on the 11th inst. He had been sick over a year with Bright’s disease. Money Hamilton Bowers was born Dec. 20, 1855, and had lived here all his life, except a few years in Spalding and Fayette counties. He was a valuable citizen and numbered his friends by the score. He was a Master Mason. He leaves a devoted wife, two children, (W. E. Bowers and Mrs. Ida Stamps,) one brother and two sisters, (W. L. Bowers of Spalding county, and Mrs. N. J. Ad cock and Mrs. L. P. Vollenweider of this place.) The funeral was conducted at the Elmore cemetery by Rev. L. L. Landrum, of Turin, where the remains were laid to rest. Six of his nephews acted as pall-bearers- W. C. Vollenwei der, E. C. Adcock, J. T. Stamps, J. R. Arnold, W. D. Adcock and J. D. Ad cock. Standing Rock, Nov. 16th. No Case On Record.

Mr. Bob Mann, of Newnan, was with relatives here Sunday. Dr. 7.. Greene, of Newnan. came down and spent Sunday with relatives in our city. (SJMr. Wm. G. Neill was recently ap pointed clerk in the postoffice at New nan, and assumed his duties Sunday morning. He is a good boy, and will fill the place well. Morris Atkinson, a negro who broke jail at Manchester last week and escap ed with a handcuff on one hand, was ar rested here last week by Bailiffs Entre- ken and Banks and returned to the offi cials of that place. Mr. S. P. Steed, who is pleasantly re membered by many of our people, was the guest of his uncle, Mr. H. L. Ware, Friday. Sion is now proprietor of a large furniture business at Ybor City, Fla., and informs us that he is doing a fine business. He is a hustling young man, and deserves to succeed. The widow of Mr. Cicero H. Easten, who died the first of October, received this week from the Franklin Life In surance Co., of which Mr. R. M. North is the representative, checks for $2,091 for insurance due on her husband’s life. She lives up near Fayetteville. Rev. and Mrs. J. R. Nolan entertain ed their children and grandchildren at a family reunion Sunday. The grown people present from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Todd of Aberdeen, Mrs. Ed Kirkland of Griffin, Mrs. J. E. Lyon and Miss Bessie Funderburk of Hampton, and Mrs. B. B. Funderburk of Bainbridge. Real estate deals continue to be made in Senoia, and every deal means a help to the town. Mr. Nathaniel Estes yes terday morning purchased the old par sonage from Mr. H. L. Camp, and it is understood the latter will build a nice home on Abaview in the near future. It is good news to know that neither of these excellent families contemplate leaving town; we could not afford to give them up. A stock company has been organized here, and will within the next few days petition the City Council to grant them a franchise for furnishing lights in Se noia. Messrs. W. B. Baggarly, H. L. Ware, A. O. Baggarly, J. A. McKnight, and a number of others are behind the movement, and no doubt the ven ture will be a success. These gentle men believe that Senoia ha3 been in the dark long enough, and that this is the best means of getting lights for the present. The city needs lights, must nave them, and now is the time to get them. Mr. Hugh S. Cole, one of our bright young men, and Miss Ada B. Lassetter were quietly married at the telephone exchange Monday morning, Judge J. T. Williams officiating. Miss Lassetter has been operator at Newnan for quite awhile and was filling the place here during Mrs. Britt’s absence. She is an attractive young lady, and has a large number of friends. Mr. Cole is well known by all our people. He is bright, energetic, and makes quite a success in contracting and building houses. The happy couple are now at Union City, where Mr. Cole is superintending the construction of a building for the R. D. Cole Mfg. Co. Stanley--Grizaes. Sandersville, Ga., Nov. 9.—Miss Flor- rie Stanley was married this morning to Mr. A. Leonard Grimes, of Newnan, Ga., at the home of the bride's parents. To the strains of Lohengrin's wedding march, played by Miss Josephine Treat, Miss Stanley entered the parlor with her father. Mr. Grimes and his best man, Mr. F. A. Grimes, met the bnde under an arch of ferns, in the center of the room, where Rev. A. S. Avant perform ed the marriage rites.

Parents of young children should be prepared for it. All that is needed is a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
