NEWNAN, FRIDAY, FEB. 26.
| Locals Brought Forward.
A goodly number of corporations,
firms and individuals in the county have
failed to register with the Ordinary,
and pay the special tax to the Tax Col
lector, ns required by law. The grand
jury, soon to convene, will investigate
these matters, and as a penalty is im
posed for non-compliance with the law,
some will no doubt be penalized for
failure to register.
Mrs. C. K. Henderson will entertain
at bridge this afternoon in honor of her
sister, Mrs. J. 0. Newell, of Carroll
ton, and Miss Lutie Powell and gueste
Miss Holley, of Fort Gaines. Mrs. Hen
derson’s other guests will include
Misses Annie Will Redwine, Julia Mao
Hackney, Mary Goodrum, Frances Her
ring, Kate Snead, Susie Martin, Evelyn
Martin and Mrs. H. J. Israel.
Hon. Albert H. Cox, of Atlanta, will
deliver the Memorial Day address in
Newnan this year, his acceptance of
the invitation extended him by the
Daughters of the Confederacy having
been received by Mrs. R. D. Cole, jr.,
president of the chapter, several days
ago. Col. Cox is an eloquent speaker, a
devoted son of the South, and his ad
dress will add much to the interest and
enthusiasm of the occasion.
New postal cards, different in color,
weight and design from those now in
use, have been issued by the Postoffice
Department, and are being distributed.
The new card is pale blue-gray in color,
lighter in weight, and has a harder fin
ish. The stamp, which bears a portrait
of Wm. McKinley, is larger than the
old. The size of the Cara remains urn
changed. The new cards will be issued
to postoffices only when present stocks
are exhausted.
The Royal Hungarian Orchestra,
which comes to the auditorium next
Thursday night, is one of the finest or
ganizations of its kind in the country,
being composed of thoroughly compe
tent musicians. Several members of
this company haye been connected with
the greater symphony orchestras, both
in this country and in Europe, and our
people are guaranteed a treat on the
date mentioned above. Seats are now
or. sale at John R. Cates Drug Co.’s.
Mrs. Wm. S. Woods, an estimable lady
of the community, died at her home on
LaGrange street Wednesday morning
last after a lingering illness, and the
remains were carried to Corinth yester
day, where they were interred in the
family burying-ground. Mrs. Woods is
survived by her husband and two child
ren, the latter being Mr. S. P. Woods,
of Atlanta, and Mrs. Nancy Little, of
Duluth, Ga. The Herald and Advertis
er extends its deepest sympathy to the
family in their bereavement.
“The work of the company’s agents
in securing deeds to the rignts-of-way
for the Western of Georgia railway is
progressing satisfactorily,” President
Orr informed The Herald and Adverti
ser this week. “Most of the route be
tween Franklin and Aberdeen has been
covered,” he said, “and in a few days
deeds covering the entire right-of-way
will have been secured. The bonds are
being printed, and will be ready for de
livery next month. By the time spring
opens we hope to see the work of con
struction actively under way. If ev
erything goes well the grading between
Newnan and Franklin ought to be fin
ished by the end of the year, and in
another six months should be completed
to Aberdeen, Fayette county, where
connection will be made with the A.,
B. & A. road.”
The many friends of Mr. Howard Da
vis will be glad to know that he is rap
idly coming to the front in New York
musical circles, and his ultimate success
in that great center of art seems well
assured. The following complimentary
notice is from the New York Musical
Courier of the 17th inst.: “Wiley How
ard Davis, of Georgia, one of the Fran
cis Stuart artist pupils, is a tenor sing
er who combines ingratiating appear
ance, fine voice and unusual breath
control with confidence of manner. This
makes his singing of the long phrases
of oratorio, such as ‘Comfort Ye,’ and
‘Every Valley,’ by Handel, and the sus
tained opera aria ‘0, Paradise,’ ex
ceptionally enjoyable. High B flats are
sung with ease by him, and his clear
enunciation contributes still further to
make his singing highly effective.”
Miss Annie.Powell complimented Miss
Lutie Powell and her guest, Miss Vera
Holley of Fort Gaines, with a delight
ful “bridge” party Tuesday afternoon.
The decorations, refreshments and
prizes were all suggestive of “Wash
ington’s Birthday. At the close of
the games a delicious salad course was
served. The first prize (a box of chrvs-
tallized cherries) was won by Miss Ev
elyn Martin. Miss Christine Cole drew
the consolation — a deck of Martha
Washington cards. Miss Holley was
presented with a hand-painted picture
of Washington’s home. Besides the
guests of honor those present were Mrs.
Mattie Strickland, Mrs. Henry Israel,
MiBs Frances Herring, Miss Louise At
kinson, Misses Susie and Evelyn Mar
tin, Miss Julia Mae Hackney, Miss
Kate Snead and Miss Ysabel Salbide.
Monday evening Miss Carrie Eakes
invited a large number of friends to
meet Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Owens and as
sist in the celebration of the twenty-
seventh anniversary of her parents, Dr.
and Mrs. J. H. Eakes The lower floor
of the home on South Hill street was
opened and heautilully decorated for
the occasion. In the receiving line with
Miss Eakes were Dr. and Mrs. Eakes.
Mrs. Emma Mallett, of Jackson, and
Dr. and Mrs. Owen. Mrs. Owen was
strikingly pretty in her wedding gown
of white duchess satin, with pearl trim
mings, the bodice and draped skirt fin
ished with'real lace. Aft' r a delicious
salad and sweet course had been served
the guests were invited into the libra
ry. where cotfee was served by Mrs.
Thomas E. Patterson, who was becom
ingly gowned in blue messaline, satin
braided.—Griffin Herald.
Notices have been sent to cashiers of
the Newnan banks, as well as to banks
all over the country, of the appearance
of an unusually dangerous counterfeit
one-dollar-bill, so skillfully done that it
can be detected with difficulty even by an
experienced eye. The description states
that one of the conspicuous things
about the counterfeit is that the por
traits of Lincoln anjl Grant are printed
much darker than on the genuine, and
that the Lincoln portrait gives the
emancipator a peculiarly cadaverous ap
pearance. The words "United States”
near the Lincoln portrait are not fully
formed. On the back of the note is an
absence of the light lines which in the
genuine bills shapes the curves, and this
produces a dull slate-colored appear
ance. The black plate number, 2,344 or
2, 844, which is apparently done by
hand, is not perfectly perpendicular.
The front plate number is 4,810. The
scries is that of 1899, and the check let

Evelyn, the little 12-year-old daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Clower, was the
victim of a distressing accident Monday
afternoon. She had gone to the home
of Mrs. Sam Faver for a visit to her
little friend and playmate, Ellen Tur
ner, granddaughter of Mrs. Faver, and
they were playing at “housekeeping”
in one of the upper rooms. Several
candles had been lighted and placed on
the floor, and in moving about the room
Evelyn’s skirt came in contact with one
of the candles and was ignited. In an
instant her clothing was in a blaze, and
she ran screaming downstairs. With
rare presence of mind Mrs. Faver
seized a rug from the floor and wrapped
it about the terrified child, and suc-
ceeeded in extinguishing the flames,
but not before the little victim had
been badly burned on the body and
limbs. She is doing as well as could be
expected, ' considering the nature of
her injuries, but her condition is yet
serious.
Rev. J. F. Mixon, D. D., for half a
century a member of the North Geor
gia Conference, and whose home was at
Grantville, died suddenly in Elberton on
Friday night last, where he and his wife
were visiting at the time. His death
was due to a stroke of apoplexy. Dr.
Mixon was 80 years of age, and for
a lifetime had been one of the strong
est and most prominent apostles of
Methodism in Georgia. He retired
from the active ministry several years
ago, and was placed on the superannu
ated list. He moved to Grantville about
two years ago, occupying a cottage
built especially for him by Mrs. S. E.
Leigh, which she generously donated
to the LaGrange district conference for
the use of superannuated preachers.
He was for several years presiding eld
er of the LaGrange district, and had
many friends in Coweta, who will hear
of his death with genuine sorrow. The
funeral was held in Elberton Sunday
afternoon, and the interment was at
that place.
Supervisor Moon Selecting His Enu
merators.
Hon. E. T. Moon, supervisor of cen
sus for the Fourth Congressional dis
trict, who was in the <*ity Wednesday,
said that of the four hundred and ten
persons who filed applications for ap-
ointment as enumerators onlj three
undred and seventy-five stood the ex
amination. Of this number not more
than fifty passed, under the original
rule for grading, and thirty of tries
were from one county, (Muscogee,,
leaving only twenty ehgibles for the
remaining nine counties of the district,
As one hundred and forty-seven enu
merators will be needed to take the
census in this district, and as another
examination is not now practicable,
Col. Moon requested the Director of
the Census to modify the rules so that
vacancies might be filled from among
those who made the next highest grade
in the examinations, but who failed to
pass., The requested was granted, and
under the rules as modified Supervisor
Moon has been enabled to add twenty-
four names to the list of eligibles in
Coweta county. Seventeen enumera
tors will be required in this county-
three in the Fifth (Newnan) district,
two in the First (Senoia) district, two
in the Second (Moreland) district, and
one each in the other militia districts.
While Supervisor Moon has practically
decided who he will recommend to the
Director of the Census for appointment
he will make no announcements before
the 7th or 8th of March.
The work of taking the census will
begin April 16, and must be finished by
May 15. In cities of 5,000 or more the
work must be completed in two weeks,
A RARE COIN.
It la Called a ‘‘Mlsetrlka’’ end la Very
Seldom Seen.
"See this penny I got today at the
postofflee,” sutd tko cashier. "There
aren’t llvo other pennies like It In tho
United States."
He handed out a cent piece with tho
die Impression half off the face of the
coin and with a big half moon of
blank metal showing along olio side.
"They call it a wlsstrlke,” lie con
tinued. "Perhaps once in 10,000,000
times tile two little notched lingers on
tho minting machines that grip the
blank disk and draw it forward to tho
dlo fall to spring away. In this case
tho loft hand finger stuck and pushed
the coin halfway over the die. That
Is how tho Impression Is only half on
the disk.
You can see the raised edge <d! tho
blank portion of tho metal,” tho cash
ier wont on ns ho took up his pen. "It
Isn’t everybody knows that each coin
goes under the dies twice. Tho first
time It Is struck with a blank, dome
shaped set of dies to put an edge on
ttio disk. Then It gets the regular dlo
with tho familiar head on It.
"What’s It worth? Oh, I’ll sny prob
ably $25 or so. I see it’s been In cir

some coin collector hasn't nabbed It.
I'm going to keep It ns a rarity.”—

"But why is It called profane, pop?"
“How the—that Is. how do 1 know

SENSE OF HEARING.
Sound Waves and the Way They Act
Upon the Ears.'
The detection of the direction of a
sound by tire sense of bearing Is, like
the rapid focusing of the eye on ob
jects at different distances, one of
those Instinctive operations which are
continually done without any conscious
method.
Sound waves traverse the air as rip-
pies stir the water, nnd the ear by ex
pcrionce acquires some slight power of
detecting tho direction in one case, ns
the eye does with far greater accuracy
In the other. Usually we unconscious
ly receive assistance from other senses
as well. Often we fail to locate ut
once some hidden source of sound,
such ns n singing bird, and then our
instinctive ingenuity displays itself.
The Intensity of sound is, of course,
by no means so great behind a screen
ns in front of it. nnd every one carries
with him tho screen of his own head
which may prevent a particular sound
from being heard so well by one ear
as by the other. If, then, tho head is
turned until this inequality disappears
and both ears hear equally well we
know that wo must be directly facing
or turned from the source of sound,
and our previous rough Idea of Its
wliorenbouts generally prompts us to
face tt.
Wind and Temper.
There is u closer connection between
wind and temper than at first sight ap
pears. A coldish wind has a bracing
effect and, on tho whole, Is beneficial
in countries whore hot winds occur
periodically, on the other hand, these
are -regarded ns n nuisance, if not a
curse. Every one almost gets cross
weary nnd done up nnd has n head
ache daily. In Egypt the season when
crimes are commonest is when the hot
klmmsecn blows. Nearly always dur
ing a severe sirocco tho Arabs In Al
geria were restless, If they did not at
tempt an actual rising. The soluno,
which now nnd then rushes across the
Mediterranean In fiery blasts from
Africa, upsets every one In Spain and
is the worst wind In that country
And even In the Pearl of the An
tilles the fierce hot wind Is such a
pest that It Is recorded of a fuinlly
living In Havana that they made It a
rule In the household to preserve ab
solute silence until the wind disap
penred. It was the only plan they
could think of to avoid family quar
rels.
