A bright and enjoyable event of Fri
day evening was the dinner given by
Miss Louise Atkinson. Miss Atkinson
is very clever at the art of entertain
ing, and this occasion proved a charm
ing combination of hospitality and
original ideas, skillfully carried out.
One unusual feature of the evening was
a display of the baby pictures of the
guests present, the pictures being
thrown on a screen with a mirroscope,
everyone guessing the identity of the
picture as it was shown. Late in the
evening the guests were seated about
the dining-table, which was decorated
in jonquils. All the pretty details
were in yellow, and a five-course menu
was served. Miss Atkinson’s guests
included Misses May Cole, Frankie
McCrory, Mary Goodrum, Jessie Man-
get, Lutie Powell, Messrs. Johnnie
Robinson, J. L. Jones, W. L. Strieker,

Miss Leila Burbank, of Cedartown,,
the guest of Mrs. E. G. Cole, was com
plimented with a delightful party Thurs
day afternoon by Miss Ruth Murray.
A pink-and-white color scheme was car
ried out in the house decorations. A
pink azalea bank, with white carnations,
ornamented the dining-table, and the
same colors were emphasised in the
mints, cakes and ices served. Rook,
up-jinks and heart-dice were played at
small tables arranged about the rooms,
and several unique features of enter
taining were introduced by the hostess.
Forty of MiBB Murray’s friends were
invited to meet Miss Burbank.
Miss Leila Burbank, the guest of
Mrs. Guy Cole, has been favored with
a number of pretty social attentions

honor. Tuesday evening she was com
plimented with a delightful dance at
the Elks’Club. Wednesday afternoon
Mrs. Walker Arnall entertained her

combination of jonquils and ferns
formed attractive decorations for the
sitting-room and hall. Late in the af

Resolutions on the Death of Dr. T.
B. Thames.
Death has Bet its seal on the brow of
this Christian hero, and his soul hns
left its earthly tenement and winged
its flight to a fairer world. As it has
pleased Almighty God, in His never-
erring judgment, to remove from us
our dearly beloved and noble pastor, we
bow in humble submission; but never
has a deeper gloom fullen upon a pas
torate. Our congregation is over
whelmed with sorrow over his untimely
end, and Newnan mourns the loss of a
brave and true man—one possessed of
many sterling qualities. As a church
we shall miss him, but especially do the
young men of his congregation feol
they nave lost a needed friend and coun
sellor. It Beenis but a day since he
came among us -a day full of sunshine
and love. Possessed of a broad and
catholic spirit, he entered actively and
enthusiastically into every movement
that promised to benefit mankind, and
his wonderful personal magnetism at
tracted people of all creeds and classes.
Swiftly his ministry here has passed,
and the close has come, leaving us a
memory cherished and hallowed for its
noble example. “And I heard a voice
from heaven saying unto me, Write,
‘Blessed are the dead that die in the
Lord from henceforth; yea, Baith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their
labors, and their works do follow
them.’ ” It is with profound sorrow
that we endeavor to express the grief
that fills our hearts—to grasp a full
realization of our Iosb. He has gone to
his reward in heaven; henceforth may
it be our earnest endeavor to so follow
hia precepts and imitate his example
that we may again see him and be with
him. Therefore, be it—
Resolved, That we desire to express
to the family of our late beloved pastor
our warmest and truest sympathy in
this their hour of affliction. May the
Father of mercies and God of all com
fort, console, and give them peace.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso
lutions be sent the family, and a copy
given the city papers for publication.

“UNIVERSAL IKE GETS A GOAT”
Un-Ike comedy
The first of the new-brand comedy se
ries, featuring Gua Carney, the world’s
greatest comedian. Don’t miss the
first of this great series.
The first good thing accomplished by
the County Chamber of Commerce has
been to secure the assignment to Cow
eta county an expert in farm demon
stration work. The appointment, which
is made by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, was given Mr. H. G.
Wiley of Toccoa, Ga., and he has al
ready entered upon bis duties. His
first work in the line of his employ
ment will be to visit all schools in the
county and endeavor to increase the
membership of the BoyB’ Corn Cluh,
and also to urge and assist in the or
ganization of a Girls’ Canning Club
for Coweta county. In company with
Mr. W. S. Copeland, president of the
County Boys’ Corn Club, Mr. Wiley
visited several schools this week, and
will continue his rounds until this mis
sion is fulfilled. He will then take up
farm demonstration work in earnest,
the nature and scope of which will be
fully explained in later issues of The
Herald and Advertiser.

A writer in the Franklin News and
Banner has this to say about Coweta’B
good roads:
■‘Capt. Nash has completed the road
from Newnan to Handy, making it one
of the finest roads I ever saw built with
clay and soil. If our county authorities
will grade the road from Franklin to
the county line and soil it, it will leave
only 3 milps to be graded by Coweta
county. If that were done it would
give us a road that could be traveled
any season of the year. The mails
could come out from Newnan to Frank
lin every day in the year without being
delayed by high waters, as they are now
frequently delayed by high waters on
the Hogansville road. The merchants
of Franklin could put on auto trucks
and make two trips daily hauling goods.
What better investment could the citi
zens of Heard county make than to
build good roads? Mr. Landowner, how
much will it increase the value of your
lands for good roads to run by your
home? Lands have increased in value
from 20 to 35 per cent, per acre on the
Newnan and Handy road within the last
twelve months.”
Court Notes.
The spring term of Coweta Superior
Court convened Monday morning, with
Judge R. W. Freeman on the bench and
all the officers of court at their re
spective stations.
The grand jury organized by electing
Mr. H. C. Arnall, sr., foreman, and
Messrs. Frank Wilkinson and L. H.
Hill clerks. Judge Freeman’s charge
to that body was given in hia usual lu
cid and able manner, and made a strong
impression upon all who heard it.
The first three days of court were
taken up in hearing various civil causes,
none of which was of much importance.
Many cases were continued for one
cause or another, and Wednesday af
ternoon the traverse jurors were dis
missed for the week. The criminal

Death of Mrs. Emily Wright.
All hearts have been saddened this
week by the death of one of Newnan’s
pioneer women, Mrs. Emily Wright,
which occurred Tuesday afternoon at
the home of her son, Col. W. C. Wright,
on College street, after a week’s ill
ness.
This good woman died as she had
lived-honored and loved by ail who
knew her. Her church, her town, and
the friends endeared to her by long as
sociation. held a warm place in her
heart, which responded generously to
every impulse of her loyal nature. It
was here that the best days of her life
were spent, and ’tis only fitting that
she should have her eternal abiding-
place amid the Beenes she loved so well,
side by side in the plot hallowed by the
dust of her dear husband. Her Christian
character was as beautiful as it was con
sistent. With an unfaltering faith in God
and His divine purposes, murmuring nev
er at His dispensations, she entered into
the rest that comes to those wbo love
the Lord. Verily, a good woman has
gone to her reward, and all that is left
is a fragrant memory of her good deeds
and bright Christian example.
