NEWNAN, FRIDAY, JUNE 19
LOCALS BROUGHT FORWARD.
At the reerular meeting of the City
Council on Monday night last the appli
cation of Mr. Wm. M. Jenkins, of At
lanta, and his associates for a franchise
for the construction and operation of a
gas plant in Newnan was granted. The
ordinance granting the franchise pro
vides—1. That a rate not exceeding
$1.50 per 1,000 cubic feet shall be
charged consumers for the use of gas;—
2, That work upon the plant shall begin
within one year from date, upon for
feiture of $500, a certified check for
which sum shall he deposited with the
City Clerk;—3. That an indemnifying
bond in the sum of $5,000, for the faith
ful performance of its contract, shall
be executed by the gas company in fa
vor of the City of Newnan;—4. That
the franchise shall be in force and ef
fect for a period of thirty years: Pro
vided, however, that at the end of each
ten-year period the city shall have the
option of purchasing the gas plant, at a
valuation to be fixed by arbitrators ap
pointed by the parties at interest, etc.
Bv the terms of the ordinance the city
seems to be well protected at every
point, and at the same time the gas
company has been granted what is con
sidered a very liberal franchise.
Attention, “Fans!”
To the “Fans” of Newnan and sur
rounding country: The Newnan Base
ball Association, after much labor and
Considerable expense, have gotten to
gether a baseball team which is now
standing at the top of the ladder. The
team has been playing high-class ball
both at home and on the road, and, bar
ring injuries and accidents during the
remainder of the season, they will still
be on top when the curtain is rung
down on the final game. The record
that they have made is most commend
able and is deserving of the support of
every lover of good, clean baseball in
Newnan and Coweta county. The at
tendance for the first six weeks has
been far below the standard, and for
this reason baseball has been a losing
proposition. The directors are making
every effort to please their patrons,
and they should have the hearty co
operation of everyone interested in the
great national pastime.
Beginning June 18 the team will be
at home for three series of games—
with Talladega, Rome and Gadsden —
and they should be accorded a rousiDg
welcome and a large attendance.

Death of Mrs. Eugenia Dowdell.
It is with deep regret that The Her
ald and Advertiser chronicles this week
the death of Mrs. Eugenia W. Dowdell,
which occurred Tuesday evening at the
home of her son-in-law, Dr. W. A.
Turner, on Greenville street. Mrs.
Dowdell’s illness began nearly six
months ago, and from the first it was
apparent that she could not long sur
vive the complication of ailments with
which she was afflicted. During most
of the time she was bedridden, but
throughout her illness was patient and
uncomplaining, seeming to await with
Christian resignation the end which she
realized could not be far off. Death
came peacefully at last, typifying most
beautifully and comfortingly her peace
ful, beautiful life of more than three
score years. Although a resident of
Newnan but a brief time, she had made
many friends, who esteemed her for
her sterling qualities and loved her for
her gentle ways.
Mrs. Dowdell leaves two children
Mrs. W. A. Turner, jr., and Miss Susan
Dowdell, both of this city. Four sisters
survive her also—one in New York
City, one at Woodbine, Ga., and two in
Mobile.
The funeral took place Wednesday
morning from the residence of Dr. Tur
ner, services being conducted by her
pastor, Rev. J. E. Hannah. At 10:40
a. m. her body was carried to Opelika,
her former home, where it was laid to
rest beside that of her husband, the
late Dr. W. H. Dowdell, who preceded
her to the grave about five years ago.
Cotton Blooms.
Cotton blooms galore have been re
ported the past week. The first one re
ceived at The Herald and Advertiser of
fice was sent in by Mr. Clyde Lambert,
of Grantville district, on Saturday last.
Monday we had one from Mr. HughCar-
mical, of the Second district. Tuesday
we had five — one from Mr. L. G.
Watkins, of Grantville district; one
from Newt Nimmons, a colored tenant
on the Parrott plantation, below town;
one from Mr. J. Harp, of the Third
district; one from Mr. John N. Austin,
of Panther Creek district; and one from
the farm of the Coweta Land Co. Wed
nesday four more came in—one from
Mr. W. L. Bohannon, superintendent of
Hon. Jos. T. Kiruy’s Third district
plantation; one from Willie Bohannon,
a colored tenant on Mr. W. P. Arnold’s
Third district plantation; another from
Mr. Lee Brook, of the Third district;
another from Jim Bledsoe, also of the
Third district; and still another from
Jesse Yates, a tenant on Mr. J.
A. Davis’ Fourth district plantation.
Y esterday morning Mr. Dan Sewell,
superintendent of Mr. Albert Potts’
plantation south of town, sent two red
blooms attached to a single stem;
and another was received from Ned
Wortham, a colored tenant on Mr.
Hewlette Bailey’s place near Elder’s
mill.
When the receipt of these blooms was
mentioned to Mr. Colley Owens yestter-
day, he remarked with a sniff of con
tempt; “Shucks!—that’s nothing new.
My field is white with blooms.” From
all of which it may be inferred that the
cotton crop in Coweta offers a promis
ing prospect at this writing.
Combs--McKnight.
Senoia Enterprise-Gazette, ISth Inst.
The marriage of Mr. Julian Clay Mc-
Knigllt and Miss Carrie Lee Combs was
solemnized Wednesday evening at 8
o’clock at the home of the bride’s pa
rents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew G. Combs,

friends being present to witness the
happy event. A reception was given
by the bride's parents immediately af
ter the marriage, after which the bride
and groom came to Senoia and are now
at the home of the groom's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. MoKnight, where
they are being cordially greeted by
many friends.
Those who attended the wedding
from Senoia were Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
MoKnight, Mr. J. II. McKnight, Mr.
and Mrs. C. C. McKnight, Misses Opal
and Margaret McKnight, Mr. R. E.

Nixon Arnall, Mr. and Mrs. R. W.
Freeman, Miss Lois Hardy, Messrs.

Why Not Have a County Fair?
The progress of our country is al
ways measured by the progress made
along agricultural lines. When the far
mer produces large crops everybody re
joices with him, because they have
plenty; but when crops fail they join
with him in crying “hard times,” be
cause he cannot feed them. This be
ing the case, all classes of people should
aid and encourage the farmer instead
of putting barriers in his way. This
fact was realized long ago by our State
at large and some of our counties;
hence they have instituted annual fairs
for the encouragement of agricultural
pursuits. These fairs have been or
ganized for various purposes—some
merely for pleasure, others for commer
cial gain by the promoters, and still
others for the educational benefit to the
farmer.
Which of these—whether either or
none—prompted the organization of
fairs in this county in previous years 1
do not know, but the last named is far
more commendable and more apt to
succeed than the others. A self-sup
porting annual fair staged in this coun
ty for the sole purpose of enlightening
the farmer, and not for the purpose of
making money directly for anyone,
would have as beneficial an effect upon
the adult farmer as the Corn Club has
had on the hoys.
A few years ago a fair was organized
in a North Georgia county and prizes
were offered to the farmer making the
best exhibit of corn, potatoes, apples,
syrup, and prac.ically everything
grown on the farm. The first year
there was very little competition, con
sequently the prizes were easily won
by those contesting. The result was
that the farmers, seeing the speci
mens that took the prizes, thought they
could grow something better in that
line next year; so when the next fair
opened, instead of having a meager dis
play of poor stuff, they had a great
collection of the best the county could
produce. This friendly competition en
couraged the farmer to do his best, and
the promoters of the fair, who were
mostly business men in the towns, were
well pleased with the results.
What another county can undertake
and make a success of Coweta can do
also if she will try, and she should have
an exhibit this fall that will hold its
place along with the best. It would
bring the farmers together with exam
ples of the results of their own labors,
to be compared by the general public.
And what farmer is going to do less
than his best if he knows this is going
to be done?
Besides the benefit that would accrue
in an educational way to those produc
ing the exhibits and those looking at.
them, the winners of the prizes here
would have another chance at prize
winning at the State Fair at Macon,
where handsome prizes are offered for
all kinds of collective or individual ex
hibits. A booklet announcing all these
prizes can be had by applying to me.
An annual fair would be to Coweta
county what the State Fair has been to
Georgia, and no one will say that it has
not been a great boon to the agricul
tural interests of the State.

Advise Mother's Friend
Because It is so perfectly safo to uso
nnd has been of such great help to a
host of expectant mothers, those women,
experienced in this most happy period,
advise the uso of “Mother’s Friend.”
Applieu externally to the abdominal
muscles its purpose is to relieve tho
undue tension upon the cords and liga
ments resulting from muscular expansion.
Beneath the surface is a network of fine
nerve threads and tho gentle, soothing
embrocation, “Mother’s Friend,” is
designed to so lubricate tho muscular
fibres as to avoid the unnecessary and
continuous nagging upon this myriad of
nerves. It is a reflex action.
Applied to the breasts it affords tho
proper massage to prevent caking.
Thousands of \Votnen have reason to
believe in this splendid help under the
trying ordeal of motherhood. Their
letters are eloquent evidence of Its great
value to women. In use for many years
it has come to be a standard remedy for
the purpose.
There is scarcely a well-stocked drug
store anywhere but what you can easily
obtain a bottle of "Mother's Friend” and
In nearly every town and village is a
grandma who herself used it in earlier
years. Expectant mothers are urged to
try this splendid assistant to comfort.
