B. F. Eight, of Tullahoma, Tenn.,
writes The Herald and Advertiser as
follows: “Can you give me any infor
mation concerning some corn I, Baw
about three years ago? A brakeman
on the train had' several stalks with
Seven ears to the stalk. He said the
jian who raised it lived in Coweta
county, and that he (the planter) had
700 bushels for sale at $1 per bushej.
If you can put me in communication
with the grower of this corn I will ap
preciate it.” If this item falls under
: the eye of the farmer referred to, he is
asked to communicate with our corres
pondent. ,
Mr. and Mrs. Henry G. Link, of
Charlotte, N. C., have issued invita
tions to the marriage of their daugh
ter, Jessie Vivian, to Mr. John Bunyon
Goodwyn, jr., of Montgomery, Ala.,
the wedding to occur at home on Wed
nesday evening, Feb. 16. Speaking of
the prospective bride the Charlotte Ob
server says: “Miss Link is the third
daughter of Mr. H. G. Link, and is one
of Charlotte’s most popular and attrac
tive young women. Sne has made her
home here all of her life, and has a
large circle of friends who will be in
terested to learn of her approaching
wedding.” The groom is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. John B. Goodwyn, of this
city, and a most worthy and promising
young map. He has been for some
time connected with the Swift Packing
Co., and only recently was transferred
to the company’s Montgomery office.
The bride and groom will arrive in
Newnan next Friday, and in the even
ing will be tendered a reception at the
home of the groom’s parents.
Between fifty and sixty applicants
stood the examination for enumerators’
places last Saturday, six of whom were
colored. • The examination was held
in the court-house, and was conducted
by Postmaster Atkinson. Of this num
ber not' mope than fifteen will get
places, as there will hardly be more
than that many census disiricts in the
county. Supervisor Moon received 410
applications from the ten counties of
the district, distributed as follows:
Carroll 61, Coweta 64, Meriwether 43,
Mariqp 13, Muscogee 73, Harris 25,
Talbot 33, Troup 53, Chattahoochee 11,
and Heard 34. There are one hundred
and fifty enumerators to be appointed
in the entire district. Supervisor Moon
will forward his recommendations to the
Director of the Census at Washington
about the 22d inst., and it will probably
be two weeks later before the appoint
ments will be announced for the differ
ent counties.
The Atlanta and V est Point depot,
which has been in the hands of the
workmen for the past two weeks, pre
sents a much improved appearance
since the repairs and alterations have
been made. The front platform,
the entire length of the building, has
been rebuilt and raised to a level with
the doorways, thus eliminating the
awkward stepdown separating the
freight warehouse from the passenger
station. The passenger and freight de
partments have been separated also.
The new freight office, lust finished,
furnishes more commodious quarters
for this department, which is in charge
of Mr. L. S. Sewell, chief clerk, and
Mr. W. B. Barr, cashier, the latter
having been recently promoted to the
place. The passenger department re
mains practically unchanged, the ticket
office and baggage-room being in the
same compartment. This department is
in charge of Mr. W. W. Mitchell. Mr.
G. B. Barr, agent, also makes his office
in this department. The changes noted
add much to the convenience of the
building, and to the comfort of the
employees as well.

Hon. J. D. Hammett, a former mem
ber of the Legislature from Troup
county, died at his residence in La-
Grange on Sunday at 4 p. m.
For several weeks he had been very
low from paralysis, and his death was
not unexpected. Col. Hammett was 83
years of age, being one of the county’s
oldest citizens.
The funeral services and interment
took place at Providence church at Har-
risonville Monday afternoon, Rev. V.
A. Ham, of Newnan, officiating.
Col. Hammett was a man of strong
will-power, and active in a'l matters
looking to the welfare of his county,
and took a deep interest in encouraging
young men.
He was a valiant Confederate, and
served through the war in the Forty-
first Georgia regiment, being wounded
at Perryville, Ky., in which battle
his company lost 80 per cent, in killed
and wounded. Col. Hammett's death
is mourned by a host of friends, who
had known him through many years.
The deceased is survived by his wife,
two daughters and four sons.
The sympathy of the community goes
out to the bereaved ones in their sor
row. —LaGrange Graphic, 8th inst.
Col. Hammett was the father of Mr.
E. W. Hammett, of this city, and fre
quently visited here, where he had
many friends, all of whom regret to
hear of his death.
Death of a Pioneer Citizen.
The Herald and Advertiser regrets to
chronicle this week the death of anoth
er old citizen, Mr. Jas. Hi Moore. He
passed away about 4 o’clock Monday
morning, at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. E. E. Summers, in the 86th year
of his age. He had been in failing
health for several months, bub the lat
ter part of December was forced to
take his bed, and was never able to be
out again.
“Uncle Jimmie,” as he was familiar
ly known, was one of Coweta’s oldest
and best citizens, and the announce
ment of his death will be heard with
genuine sorrow by his numerous friends
throughout the county. He was born
in Wilkes county, Ga., but when about
20 years of age removed to Coweta,
and, with the exception of a brief resi
dence in Heard county, made his home
in this county up to the time of his
death. He was a charter member
of Coweta Lodge, F. & A. M., having
assisted in the organization of the
lodge over sixty years ago. He was also
a veteran of the Civil War, having en
tered the service as a member of Co.
C, 34th Ga. Regt., and made a record
for gallantry and devotion to duty that
is cheerfully attested by his surviving
comrades.
He was thrice married. His last wife,
now 84 years of age, survives him. His
children are Mrs. J. A. Bohannon and
Mrs. J. L. Bonner, of Carroll county,
Mr. J. W. Moore, of Twiggs county,
and Mrs. E. E. Summers of this city.
The funeral 1 took place Tuesday at
Macedonia church, 5 miles north of the
city, services being conducted by Rev.
J. F. Singleton. The interment was
made with Masonic honors.
i tithful and courteous in the discharge
of his duties, and it is not likely that he
will be opposed in the coming election.
In our announcement column this
week appears the card of Mr. J. D.
Brewster asking for re-election as
Sheriff of the county. His courtesy and
strict attention to business have made
for him hosts of friends, and it is very
likely he will be re-elected without op
position.
Ex-Gov. J. M. Terrell and ex-Gov.
Hoke Smith each made a contribution
of $5 toward the building of Alvnton
Baptist church, which was greatly ap
preciated by the citizens of that place.
Bailiff Entreken made another good
catch this week. Mr. J. T. Phillips,
who lives over near Line Creek, lost a
hog recently and it could not be located,
so ne turned the case over to the afore
said bailiff, and after several days’ work
it was found that a negro had killed the
hog. The negro plead' guilty, paid for
the hog and all costs, and now believes
that it is some cheaper to buy bacon at
15c. a pound.
Monday evening Mr. John Matthew
McCrary passed away at his home in
this city at the age of 74 years and 1
month, after an illness of two weeks.
Mr. McCrary was a quiet, unassuming
gentleman, highly esteemed by all who
nad the pleasure of his acquaintance,
and while his death was not unexpected,
it cast a gloom over all the town. He
was an unusual man in many respects,
and his life had been a blessing to many
people. He was a man of few words,
yet his daily walk showed to the world
his fine Christian character. His life
was one worthy of emulation, As a bus
iness man he was very successful. The
first years of his life after reaching
manhood were spent on a farm in Meri
wether county, where, by hard work
and economy, he laid up enough to take
care of him in his declining years. Mr.
McCrary was born in Meriwether coun
ty Jan. 5, 1836; was married to Miss
Mary E. Boyd Nov. 16, 1860. In May,
1862, he enlisted in the 66th Georgia
regiment; was captured at Cumberland
Gap, Tenn., on Sept. 9, 1863, and car
ried to Federal prison at Camp Douglas,
Chicago, where he remained until the
war closed in 1865. After the war Mr.
McCrary returned to his farm in Meri
wether county, where he remained un
til December, 1887, when he purchased
his present home and moved to Senoia,
remaining here until death. His be
loved wife preceded him to the beyond
a little more than two years ago. To
know this couple was to love them, and
it makes our hearts sad to know that
they are gone from this world forever.
He is survived by three sons, Dr. W.
R. McCrary, of Senoia, Mr. J. B. Mc
Crary, of Atlanta, and Mr. J. A. Mc
Crary, of Barnesville.

al days, the guest of her parents, Mr.

Dr. A. J. Mann, of Alvaton, who was

Hon. J. A. Ayccck Dead.
After an illness of many weary, pain
ful months Mr. J. A. Aycock died at
his home on Maple street Wednesday
night, Feb. 2.
Joe Aycock was one of the leading
citizens of our town and county, taking
at all times an active interest in every
public enterprise or undertaking. For
a number of years he was a member of
the city school board, and in honor of
his services as such the city schools
were dismissed to-day for the day.
He represented this county two years
in the General Assembly, and for a
number of years has been a member of
the board of registrars for the county.
It is to his constructive ability that
the Mandeville Mills owe their existem e
and the great degree of success they
have attained. The same ability con
tributed in very large measure to tl e
building of. the A. and M. school buili -
ings, which was done at a cost of sev
eral thousand dollars less than any of
the other ten like schools of the State.
He served one term as president of
the Cotton Seed Crushers’ Association.
He was general manager of the Man
deville Mills, which, under his skillful
management, had grown within the past
dozen years i from a small ginnery to
the million-dollar mills—two cotton
mills, two fertilizer plants, two oil mills,
and several ginneries.—Carrollton
Times, 4th inst.
Mr. Aycock was a brother-in law of
Mr. W. M. Thomas, of this city, and
was well-known here. His boyhood
days were spent in this county, and he
was universally esteemed for his fine
character and personal worth. He lo
cated at Carrollton about twenty years
ago, and his career up to the time of
his death is an interesting part of the
history of that thriving town.

Dear Friend,
Oh, papa used to be such a
crank about coffee that he
almost worried poor mamma's
life out of her. She tried all
kinds of coffee and it was
either too strong or too weak
or too bitter or too something,
but now every morning when papa
takes the first sip of coffee,
he smacks his lips as much as
to say, ‘‘That is mighty good
coffee.'’ I can tell you why
it is. Mamma has found out
where to buy coffee. The kind
we UBe is Chase & Sanborn's.
It costs 25c. a. pound.
Your friend,
JACOB.
