A GREAT OCCASION.
The "dollar dinner" given by the
Newnan Board of Trade on Tuesday
evening last in celebration of "Georgia
Products Day” was & great occasion.
Nothing like it had been enjoyed since
Harry Fisher’s famous ’possums sup
pers several years ago, when poli
ticians and Georgians distinguished
in all walks of life were wont to
gather in Newnan along about Christ
mas-time and from sunset to sun
rise feast on " 'possum and tater” and
persimmon beer. Although of a dif
ferent character, both in its objects
and its results, Tuesday night’s dinner
brought together as representative a
company as ever assembled in Newnan
--all leading citizfcns of the town and
county, and all animated by a single
purpose, viz: The upbuilding of New
nan and Coweta county, ahd the ex
ploitation of our resources and advan
tages, both as an agricultural section
and as a manufacturing center. This
was the dominant note in the several
admirable addresses listened to during
the evening, and echoed and approved
on all sides by the interested and en-
cnthusiastic audience.
The dinner—which was in the shape
of an old-time Georgia barbecue, pre-
paredjin Starling Carpenter’s best style,
with the cuBtomary trimmings—was a
triumph of tho barbocuist’a skill, and the
two hundred and ten banqueteers
gathered at the several tables had the
time of their lives in the way of gusta
tory enjoyment. There was an abun
dance for all, with enough left over to
have supplied many more.
Mr. R. D. Cole, president of the
Bgard of Trade, was master of cere
monies, and when the banquet was over
stated the objeat of the dinner, which
was to bring together the public-apirlt-
ed citizens of the community for the
purpose of conferring as to the best
plan to adopt to bring Newnan and
Coweta county more prominently be
fore tho world—to give our section a
more conspicuous placo on tho map, bo
to speak. He gave an outline of the
plans of tho State Chamber of Com
merce, whose membership is composed
of local trades bodies throughout the
State, and which was organized not
long sinco for the sole purpose of ad
vertising and exploiting Georgia’s vast
resources and advantages—agricultural,
commercial and industrial. He then in
troduced tho speakers on tho pro
gramme, together with their subjects,
in the following ordor—
“Pot sibilities of Coweta Soils”—Hon.
W. A. Brannon.
“How to Deal With Desperate Situ
ations’’—Mr. B. T. Thompson.
"Law, as Applied to Development"
—Hon. R. Wi Freeman.
“Boys’ Corn Clubs"—Hon. Garland
M. Jones.
"Banking" —Mr. T, M. Goodrum.
“Georgia’s Water-powers”—Hon. S.
E. Leigh.
"Newnan”—Hon. W. C. Wright.
All the speeches were good, and
made a strong impression.
Before the company broke up the
sum of $610 was subscribed in member
ship fees as a contribution to the cam
paign fund of $50,000 that is being
raised by the State Chamber of Com
merce for advertising purposes.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun: "The boys
of Georgia are showing the older far
mers—men who have been farming all
of their lives—what can bo done on
Georgia soil. They are demonstrating
the fact that half a dozen ears of corn
may be grown where only a nubbin
grew before, and will have a telling ef
fect upon the future of Georgia, agri
culturally. These boys have adopted
improved methods of farming—some
thing that should have been done by
their fathers years ago — and these
methods will be adopted by the older
ones.” ■
If President Wilson expects the Hu
erta dynaBty to "crumble’’ as a result
of the announced "waiting policy” of
the Administration, civilized America
will wait a good long time. The truth
is, President Wilson and his astute Sec
retary of State have got the hot end
of a bad job, and they don't Beem to
know how to turn loose.
Why doesn't Secretary Bryan apply
his famous "peace policy" to the Mexi
can situation?—as a sort of poultice, so
to speak, to. a festering sore that is
growing worse every day?
The Administration's plan for curren
cy reform is doomed to defeat in the
present Congress, unless all signs fail.
The income tax doesn't touch us by
several thousand dollars.
"Father," said the young man, earn
estly, "if a fellow is out with a crowd
who are standing drinks, and he has no
money to treat, what should he do?”
“Retreat," grunted the father, "and
quick, too."

TURIN.
We met with the good people of
Pleasant Hill church on Saturday and
Sunday last. After the regular service
on Saturday the church met in confer
ence and extended a unanimous call to
the present pastor to serve another
year. We accepted an invitation to
dine at the hoapitable home of Judge
Adcock, where we fared sumptuously.
From the Adcock home we drove over
to Haralson, where we spent a short
time very pleasantly with old friends,
This splendid little town BeemB to have
had more than its share of misfortunes
of one sort and another, but is holding
up bravely and going right ahead. Our
next Btop was at Deacon Kelley's,
where we spent a night moBt en joyably.
A feeling of Badness came over us, how
ever, as we viewed the vacant chair
of Bro. Kelley’s aged mother, whose
death occurred a few dayB prior to our
visit. This saintly woman nad reached
her fourscore years, and was awaiting
her Master's call when the Anal sum
mons came. She was a devoted mem
ber of Pleasant Hill church, and was
laid to rest in Bethel cemetery. The
bereaved sons and daughters have our
sympathy. On Sunday we dined with
tne family of 'Squire Wesley Higgins,
where we feasted on the "fat of the
land.” The little motherless grand
child in this home has a warm place in
the hearts of the devoted grandparents.
Mrs. Hattie Ely, who has been visit
ing Mrs. H. S. Rees, returned Satur
day to her home at Chipley.
We saw two fine hogs at Mr. Jas.
Kelley’s, each weighing at least 500
lbs. ’Squire Higgins has two fine hogs
also. In fact, we have seen many fine
porkers on our rounds, which leads us
to believe that the meat supply in Cow
eta is the largest we have had in years.
After Sunday-school at the Metho
dist church next Sunday memorial ex
ercises will be held in honor of the late
Mrs. John G. Carmichael.
