In Fulton Superior Court this week
the affairs of the Piedmont Portland
Cement Co. were placed in the hands
of receivers by Judge Bell, the receiver
ship to continue until plans for the reor
ganization of the company can be worked
out, it is said. A large amount of the
stock of this concern is held by sundry
and various confiding citizens of Cow
eta, and they are now sadly speculat
ing upon the possibility that, in "work
ing out” plans for the proposed reor
ganization, the original stockholders
may be “worked out” also. Moral
—Keep your money at home, where you
can look after it.
Looking through some old papers be
longing to his grandfather, the late
Judge Tolloson Kirby, a few days ago
Hon. Jos. T. Kirby came across the
original order of the Judges of the In
ferior Court directing "the commis
sioners of the Third district to proceed
to cut out the road laid out from near
Charley Lyle's, on the road leading
from Newnan to LaGrango, by way of
Osborn Lynch's and intersecting the
road loading by the mineral springs to
Newnan, as laid out by the reviewers.”
The order was signed by A. J. Berry,
chairman, Robt. Y. Brown and Peter
15. Terrell, Judges of the Inferior Court,
and duted Sept. 7, 1846—sixty-eight
years ago. The document is in the
handwriting of the late A. J. Berry,
and is as legible as when it was first
written.

and the meeting was quite interesting.
The programme was as follows:
Current events, (during the social
half-hour.)
“Thomas Sumter and John Clark” —
Miss Bessie Dent.
“John James Audubon”—Miss Annie
Goodwyn.
"John LeConte and Joseph LeConte”
Miss Augusta Mann.

write his “Colonel Quaggs’ Conver
sion.”
It is reported from some sections of
the county that certain parties are
violating the State game lpw by hunt
ing without license, and by failing to
get permission from landowners. If
the parties complained of wish to
avoid trouble and expense they are ad
vised to obtain license to hunt, and to
comply with other requirements of the
law. Section 18 of the State Game
Law says: “Any person who shall
hunt without first obtaining a license,
except on his own land, or in his own
militia district, or who lends or trans
fers his license to another, or who shall
hunt upon the lands of another without
first having obtained his consent to do
so, (except persons following hounds
in pursuit of foxes or deer, or any
other animals not mentioned in this
Act,) shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
and upon conviction punished as pre
scribed in section 12 of this Act.”
Mrs. W. Hayden Jones, a former
resident of Newnan, died suddenly
Monday night at the home of her daugh
ter, Mrs. E. L. Rhodes, in Atlanta. The
corpse was brought to Newnan Tuesday
afternoon, being met at the train
by quite a number of friends of the
good woman, who accompanied the
funeral party to Oak Hill cemetery,
where the body was laid to rest in the
family lot. Mrs. Jones was the mother
of the late Mrs. E. M. Hudson, with
whom she made her home when they
resided in Newnan. Her husband died
several years ago, and she is survived
only by her daughter, Mrs. E. L.
Rhodes, of Atlanta.
A laborer on Mr. Jacobus Petty’s
place was cutting down a tree Tuesday
afternoon, with Mr. Petty standing
close by watching the operation. As
the tree began falling Mr. Petty moved
to a safe distance, as he thought. In its
descent, however, the tree came in con
tact with a telephone pole and knocked
it down. Not looking for danger from
that source, Mr. Petty was struck by
the pole and badly hurt. His left leg
was fractured just above the ankle,
and one of his arms was painfully lac
erated also. His injuries were attended
to by Dr. Thos. J. Jones, and he was
reported yesterday to be resting com
fortably, but will likely be laid up for
some time.
Special Teachers’ Examination.
There will be an examination of teach
ers in the office of the Gounty School
Superintendent on Oct. 17, 1914. This
is to be the last examination held be
fore the next regular annual examina
tion, and all who have not license should
take advantage of it. All schools not
intending to have a summer term are
to open Oct. 26, 1914. All schools in
tending to have a summer term are to
open Nov. 23, 1914, All schools are to
close on Dec. 18, 1914, and resume
work on the first Monday in January,
1915, the former schools then continu
ing five consecutive school months, and
the latter continuing four consecutive
school months. J. E. Pendergrast,
County School Superintendent.
Mr. J. W. Cole, poBtoflice inspector
for this division, checked up the post
master at Talbotton last week and
found him short in his accounts about
$900. He was relieved of his office and
a temporary postmaster appointed, but
he was not relieved of t.he charge of
embezzlement, which still hangs over
him. DeLoach is the name of the de
faulting postmaster. He is a Republi
can, and the citizens of Talbotton had
been trying for several months to have
him ousted, hut without success. Need
less to say, they are deeply grateful to
Inspeeto Cole for turning the trick for
them. There are said to be five or Rix
applicants for the postmastership,
whose petitions and indorsements have
been on file in Washington for many
months.
Mr. M. F. Cole gave a barbecue din
ner at the Coweta Cafe on Friday last,
complimenting Mr. C. A. Meister, of

Old Citizen Claimed by Death.
Announcement of the death of Mr.
C. B. Brown, which occurred Friday
night at his home on Clark street, was
heard with deep regret by his many
friends, both in Newnan and through
out the county. He had been in failing
health fer some time, due mainly to the
infirmities of age, but the attack which
finally carried him away was of little
more than a week’s duration. Mr.
Brown was one of Coweta’s best citi
zens, loved and respected by all who
knew him. He served Home years ago
as Tax Collector, a position he filled
with credit to himself and honor to the
county. He was also a veteran of the
Civil War, and his patriotism and de
votion to the cause of the Confederacy
were exhibited upon every occasion
that brought the “old soldiers” to
gether in reunion. He wus 85 years of
age. Besides his widow, he is survived
by five daughters — Miss Margaret
Brown, of Newnan; Mrs. A. T. Von-
derau, Mrs. B. E. Corley and Mrs. An
nie B. Jones, of Atlanta; Mrs. It. W.
Moore, of Sparta.
The funeral took place Sunday after
noon at 3 o’clock, from the First Bap
tist church, services being conducted by
Rev. E. W. Stone. The interment was
at Oak Hill.
Suddei Death of Mr. W. T. Arnall.
Our community was greatly shocked
this morning by the sudden death of
Mr. W. T. Arnall, of Senoia, which oc
curred about 9 o’clock at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. Z. Greene, on Green
ville street. He had not been well for
several days, it is said, and came up
last night to spend a few days with
his daughter. He had a good night’s
rest, and when he came down to break
fast announced cheerfully that he was
feeling better—so much better, in fact,
that he Bpokc of going up town. Two
hours later he was stricken with ap-
poplexy, and passed away without re
gaining consciousness.
Mr. Arnall was one of Coweta’s most
prominent citizens and a good man,
whose loss to the community will be
keenly felt and sincerely deplored. He
was a Confederate veteran, one of the
few surviving members of the old
Seventh Georgia regiment, and was 75
years of age at the time of his death.
Mr. Arnall had been married three
times. His last wife survives him, to
gether with four children by former
marriages, viz: L. F. T. Arnall of St.
Louis, Mo., J. Claude Arnall of Okla
homa City, Okla., Miss Sadie Arnall of
Birmingham, Ala., and Mrs. Z. Greene
of this city. The only other near rela
tives are a brother, Mr. H. C. Arnall,
sr., of this city, and a sister, Mrs. T,
G. Connell, of Carroll county.
The remains will be taken to Senoia
for funeral and interment, the funeral
party leaving Newnan to-morrow (Sat
urday) afternoon over the Central road
at 1:40 o’clock.
