NEWNAN, FRIDAY, MAR. 4.
j Locals Brought Forward. ]
Dr. J. S. Hardaway, pastor of the
Central Baptist church of Newnan, was
in LaGrange Sunday, and preached
at the First Baptist church morn
ing and evening. Large congregations
greeted him at both services, and his
sermon^ were much appreciated. Dr.
Vaughn went to Newnan, where he oc
cupied Dr. Hardaway’s pulpit.—La-
Grange Graphic.
A petition in involuntary bankruptcy
was filed Monday against Mr. Wm. By-
ram, the well-known grocer. The lia
bilities are placed at $3,000, approxi
mately, and the assets are about the
same, it is thought. W. G. Post, Esq.,
represents the creditors, and H. A.
Hall, Esq., has been retained by Mr.
Byram. The latter’s many friends
hope he will succeed in adjusting his
troubles satisfactorily, and that he
will soon be in business again.
Many of The Herald and Advertiser’s
subscribers are yet in arrears, we re-
? ret to say, having ignored our appeals
or settlement of these accounts during
the past few months. Court week will
' be a good time to drop in and see us in
i. regard to these little accounts, and we
■■’ trust that att in arrears for as much as
' a year’s subscription will do so. We
need very much the amounts due us, and
Vill appreciate prompt settlement dur-
ng court week as a special favor.
The Odd Fellows of the ninth divis-

Mrs. R. L. Seymour, who has been
managing the Newnan Hotel for sever
al months past, surrendered her lease
Monday and left for parts unknown. A
number of merchants, with whom she
hdd accounts, are mourning her depart-
re, it is said. The hotel is now in
‘large of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Lumpkin,
rrmerly of this city, but who have
|en for three or four years past resi
sts of Tuskegee, Ala., and under
eir excellent management the hotel is

Slsewhere will be found , an allusion
the charge which Judge R. W. Free-
hn delivered to the grand jury Mon-
ay. Numerous requests have been
ade that The Vindicator publish same,
nfortunately, the charge was,not sten-
iraphically reported, and Judge
freeman used no notes, but spoke out
[the fulness of his mind and heart.
Avgreat many who heard the charge pro
nounced it the best they had ever
t^eard, and we regret that we cannot
produce it for everyone to read.—

Notice to Members of Woman’s Mis
sionary Society.—At the last meeting
of our Woman’s Missionary Society it
was decided to collect dues at church

conveniently attend the missionary
meetings. Hope all the members' of
the Woman’s Missionary Society of
acedonia church will please come pre-
ared to pay their monthly dues on the
econd Sunday in March.

The Herald and Advertiser is deeply
pained to chronicle the death of Mr.
John Dukes, which occurred yester
day afternoon at the home of his son,
Mr. S. G. Dukes, after a brief ill
ness. He was one of Coweta’s oldest
and most respected citizens, and his
death is sincerely deplored by his many
friends throughout the county. He was
73 years of age, and is survived by four
children—Mrs. T. A. Sewell, Messrs.
W. P. Dukes, S. G. Dukes and R. L.
Dukes, all of this county. The funeral
took place at Macedonia church this af
ternoon, services being conducted by
Rev. F. J. Amis.
' 1 , Mr. A. G. W. Foster has invented a
meat-chopper that is pronounced by
those who have witnessed its opera
tions to be the best thing of its kind
they have ever seen. By the use of this
machine (or implement) the toughest
piece of meat may be made as tender
as a spring chicken, and it is so con
structed that < it may be thoroughly
cleansed after using. We understand
there is an abundance of capital be
hind the enterprise, and that it will
be widely exploited throughout the
country. It is certain to be a go, as the
promoters say, and we congratulate our
old friend upon the success of his in
vention,
Mr. Robert Hopson and Miss Kate
Garrett were married at the home of the
bride’s mother, Mrs. Emily Garrett,
Lutherville, Sunday afternoon, in the
presence of a small gathering of rela
tives and friends. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. V. A. Ham, of
Newnan. The bride was becomingly
attired in a blue traveling suit, with a
beautiful hat to match. Immediately
after the ceremony they left for the
home of V e groom’s father, Mr. W. F.
Hopson, Grantville. Mr. Hopson is one
of Grantville’s most promising young
men, and he wins from Lutherville one
of her most charming daughters. They
have the best wishes of a host of
friends.
President Wickorsbam, of the Atlan
ta ami West Point road, was in Macon
on Monday last investigating the
chances for securing terminal facilities
for the Macon and Birmingham road,
k
f,
which, it it ia understood, the Atlanta
and West Point nmy acquire in the
near future. The Macon and Birming
ham has been in the hands of receivers
for the past two or three years, but if
it falls into the handB of the Atlanta
and West Point it may yet become a
valuable line. According to rumor, the
new fine will make connection at Ma
con with the Macon, Dublin and Savan
nah road, which would give the Atlanta
and West Point a through line to the
coast, thus making it a strong compet
itor with the Central of Georgia rail
way for business in this territory.
A quiet home wedding was solemn
ized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. D.
Cox Sunday afternoon, when their
daughter, Miss Davie Cox, was united
in marriage to Mr. Jacob Vickers, Dr.
A. C. Cree performing the ceremony.
Only a few friends of the contracting
arties were present at the ceremony,
'he bride is a young woman of rare
charm, and possesses the many graces
which go to make up the flower of our
Southern womanhood, while the groom
is esteemed by all who know him ns a
young man of sterling worth. Both are
very popular, and have the congratula
tions and best wishes of hosts of friends.
They left Sunday afternoon for Green
ville, Fla., where they will reside in fu
ture.—Moultrie (Ga.) Journal.
The bride is a niece of Mr. C. D.
Crane, of this city, and has visited here
frequently.
Mrs. Edwin Platt and Miss Milton
Keith enter.tained very enjoyably Wed
nesday afternoon in honor of their
charming visitor, Miss Fannie Emma
Lewis, of Columbus, quite a number of
friends being invited to meet their
guest. Several games of “progressive
old maid” were played, which furnished
much amusement for the company.
Mrs. J. E. Featherston won first prize,
a lovely hand-painted picture. Miss
Grace Brooks, of Houston, Texas,
(Miss Lynda Simril’s guest,) drew sec
ond prize, a pair of white kid gloves,
and Miss Katie Sue Brewster got the
consolation”—a dainty cream pitcher.
The guest of honor was presented with
a “Newnan” souvenir spoon. The re
freshments consisted of delicious ices
and cakes. Punch was served during
the afternoon also, Mrs. Howard Glovr
er presiding st the punch-bowl.
The Barlow & Wilson Minstrels were
at the Academy of Music last night, and
the performance given was one that
brought applause from the audience. In
the first part there was music with
melody to it, the vocalists rendering
some very attractive numbers, while
the comedians looked diligently after
the fun end of the performance. Some
of the songs made a hit. The take-off
on Cook and Peary was very clever. In
the second part there were feature acts
in which juggling was presented, Fred
Robb in a funny skit, the international
comedy quartette, songs and buck and
wing dancing, musical comedies and oth
er specialties, going to make up a per
formance that was applauded time and
again. —Raleigh (N. C.) News and Ob
server.
The Barlow and Wilson Minstrels will
appear at the auditorium next Tuesday
night.
We printed last week a very compli
mentary notice of Mr. Howard Davis,
taken from the New York Musical
Courier of Feb. 16. In the succeeding
issue of that well-known publication ad
ditional reference is made to Mr. Davis’
splendid vocal ability and his standing
in the musical circles of that city, as
follows: “Mr. Howard Davis, a young
Georgian tenor, has recently come to
New York to pursue his artistic labors,
especially in the field of oratorio, for
which his voice and temperament are
eminently fitted. Mr. Davis has a clear,
resonant and sympathetic voice, an ex
cellent stage presence, a fine memory,
and enunciates distinctly—invaluable
accessories to good oratorio singing.
He is at present singing in one of the
local churches.” This is excellent
praise from one of the most noted mu
sical critics in the country, and will
give much pleasure to Mr. Davis’ many
friends in G eorgia.
