The Herald and Advertiser 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. T. S. Parrott, Sec’y and Treas. Newnan, Ga., June 18, 1914. 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, of Locust Grove, a large party of 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. McKnight, Mr. Paul McKnight, Mrs. S. J. Elder, Miss Madge Pollock, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Hunter, Mr. and Mrs. Nixon Arnall, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Freeman, Miss Lois Hardy, Messrs. Ben McKnight, J. W. Arnall, Herbert Kempson and Albert Kempson. 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. H. G.
