Owing to the disagreeable weather the attendance at the First Methodist church Monday night to hear Congress man Adamson’s lecture, "The Star of Bethlehem,” was not aa large as it would have been hml conditions been more favorable. Those present, how ever, enjoyed the lecture, which was a good one. He was introduced by Judge R. W. Freeman. Among the festivities which served to enliven the holidays none were more enjoyable or furnished pleasure to so great a number as the Christmas tree at the First Baptist church on Tuesday night before Christmas, and that at the First. Methodist church on the night of Christmas. Many little hearts were made happy on both occasions, and their pleasure was enjoyed by older ones us well. The Junior Reading Circle had its last meeting with Miss Mary Powell. During the business meeting Miss Stone was elected a member of the circle. After current events were given a general discussion of Thomas Nelson Page was held. Miss Nannie L. Hill read a criticism of his work, fol lowed by a very interesting narrative of “Marse Chan” by Mrs. H. S. Car- son. The next meeting will be with Miss Luta Powers. On Christmas Day, in the Third dis trict, Burdett Cox, colored, was shot and killed by Will and Arthur Warner, also colored. Arthur Warner was ar rested by Sheriff Brewster and lodged in jail, but. Will Warner got away and at last accounts was Btill at large. A brother of the Warner negroes killed a brother of Cox on the Wynn plantation last summer and escaped, and it is sup- E osed that a renewal of the old trouble etween the two families was the cause of Friday’s tragedy. Fire which broke out about 1 o'clock Sunday morning destroyed a large barn on Mr. L. B. Mann’s lot, immediately in the rear of his residence on Jackson street. Stored in the barn was Mr. Mann’s handsome new automobile, as was an automobile belonging to Mr. H. S. Carson, who resides on the lot adjoin ing the Mann residence. In the barn also was Mr. Mann’s horse, a young calf, a buggy and a wagon, besides a quantity of forage and feedstuff. All were lost., the entire property destroyed amounting to nearly $4,000, with no in surance. Only the good work of the fire department saved the residence, as well as the house occupied by Mr. Car- son. The City Council will hold its first meeting for the new year next Monday night. At this meeting Aldermen-eleet J. C. Harris, G. E. Parks, R. A. Field and 11. H. Murray will lie sworn in for a term of two years. Elections will be held also to fill the following named of fices for the ensuing twelvemonths, to- wit: Clerk, treasurer, attorney, chief of police, three policemen, chief of fire department, two firemen, superintend ent of streets, sexton, one tax assessor. It is understood thKt there will be sev eral auplieants for the various positions to be filled. It is gratifying to note, in passing, that the city’s finances are in excellent shape, and that no embar rassment will be experienced in meet ing all obligations during the coming year.

Death Takes Useful and Popular Citizen. The Herald and Advertiser performs a sad duty in announcing the death of Mr. D. S. Summers, one of Newnan's most useful and popular citizens. He passed away yesterday morning at 9 o’clock, after an illness of eight weeks, ile suffered from a pulmonary trouble, not thought to be of a serious nature at first, but which developed a condi tion during the last days of his illness that bstfied the best medical skill ob tainable. He bore bis sufferings with a patience and cheerfulness that was characteristic of his gentle nature, rarely complaining even when racked with pain. He died as he hud lived—at peace with the world, and soothed by the assurance of an eternal rest in the world to come. Mr. Summers was one of Newnan'a most valued citizens, esteemed by all who knew him, and his death is widely and sincerely lamented. His wife and a young son are left to mourn their loss, and it is needless to assure them of the sympathy of the entire community in tneir bereavement. The funeral will take place this af ternoon at 2 o’clock, from the Central Baptist church, services to be conducted by his pastor, Dr. J. S. Hardaway. Tne interment will be at Oak Hill. Barber Shops Under New Law. The last Legislature passed a law regulating the operation of barbershops in this State. The law, which goes into effect today, provides for a State board of examiners, and puts in force the following regulations — "All barber shops, schools or colleges shall he open for inspection during bus iness hours to the members of the Bar bers' State Board of Examiners, and it shall be the eiuty of the holder of a li cense card or permit to post the same in a conspicuous place in front of his working chair, where it may be readily set n by all persons whom he may serve. “An antiseptic solution shall be used on each person after shaving. “All razors, shears, clippers, needles, tweezers or other instruments used upon any person shall be Bterilized in a 20 per cent, solution of formaldehyde of trikresol, or a 60-70 per cent, alco hol. “Hair brushes must be combed after using, and both brushes and combs must be boiled before using again. “All soaps, perfumes, bay rum, witch hazel and other articles, and all antisep tic solutions, shall be of good quality. “Gram alcohol is best Buited for bar bers' use, as it does not injure instru ments. "No barber should undertake treat ing any eruption of the skin, hut should advise consulting a physician.” Senoia Notes. Senol* Enterprise-Gazette. Dec. 24th. Mr William G. Neill, of near Senoia, and Miss Estelle Richards, of Conyers, were happily married Friday evening, Dec. 18. Rev. Walter Carmichael per forming the ceremony at. his home in Atlanta. They came home Monday morning, after spending a couple of days with relatives and friends a’ Con yers, and are now comfortably domi ciled at the home of the former's father, Mr. W. T. Null. We wish this popular young couple a pleasant journey through life. Miss Alice Ruth Addv. who has held a good position at the Industrial Farm at Hapeville for several years, was happily married Sunday morning to Mr. D. W. Austin, of Hapeville. The marriage took place at the Methodist parsonage at Hapeville, immediately after which they boarded the train for Senoia and were carried to the home of the bride's father, Mr. J. T. Addy, where an elegant reception awaited them. Miss Lizzie Sue Addy, of At lanta, and Mr. Hornsby, of Hapeville, accompanied them to Senoia. Mr. and Mrs. Alton Addy, of Newnan, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Shell, and Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Crook also attended the reception. Friday morning death invaded our community and removed one of our most lovable Christian women, Mrs. Sallie Sibley. It had been known for several days that she was not well, but was not thought to be se riously sick until Tuesday before her death. Her brother, Dr. Gus Brantley, of Atlanta, wjs telephoned for Tuesday, but all that medical skill and loving hands could do were of no avail. Mrs. Sibley was born near Rocky Mount, Meriwether county, in March, 1854, and when a young lady moved to Senoia with her parents. In the bloom of youth she met Mr. W. F. Sibley and was happily married, three bright children being born to the union. In early childhood she joined the Baptist church. It was the greatest pleasure of her life to give—nothing in her pos session being too good for a friend or neighbor. She loved her church and her home. To know Mrs. Sibley was to love her. Funeral services were conducted at her home Saturday morn ing by Rev. J. II. Cowart. Many sor rowing friends were present and attend ed the burial at the city cemetery. She is survived by three children, Mrs. C. F. Hollberg and Mrs. Vindex Hand, of this city, and Mr. VV. F. Sibley, of Comer, together with several brothers and sisters. Communicated. Farm Demonstration Agent Wiley Has a Word For Farmers. Each year the farmers of Georgia are offered a short course at the State Col lege of Agriculture. The purpose of this course is to help farmers along on all lines of progressive agriculture. For several years the college has been preaching diversified farming to far mers, and practicing it before them. Under the present management the old college farm, upon which l saw many deep and wide gullies six years ago, has been transformed into a fertile farm which is making money. The methods by which this was done will be thor oughly taught to the farmers attending the course this winter. The different types of beef and dairy cattle, and how they are cared for; the different types of hoars, and how to raise them; hog cholera, and treatment for same; heavy draft horses, and their breeding, are all subjects of interest and profitable study for the man who wishes to grow live stock. He who wishes to substitute other crops for a part of his cotton next year will find good food for ihought in the different Kinds of corn grown on the college plats, and the yield of each variety; in alfalfa, and its profits per acre as against cotton; Sudan grass, which is the newly discovered hay crop; cover crops, and their management for soil improvement. No farmer can attend the classes reg ularly without being benefited. The ever-increasing numbers who go each year bear testimony to the great good of these meetings. Every farmer in Coweta county who can leave home for a few days should take advantage of the opportunity. This is the year of all others when they should go. Every effort is being made by the college to help the farmers of Georgia to meet with success the revolution in farming which the present cotton crisis has brought on. The only expense, outside of railroad fare and board, is one dollar for regis tration. Anyone wishing to attend this course should notify Dr. Soule at once and tell him about how much you wish to pay for board, so a place will be re served for you. Prices for board range from a dollar a day up. Hog cholera is beginning to ravage the swine herds of the county again, and every farmer having hogs afflicted with this dread disease should have the whole herd inoculated with preventive serum at once. Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, State Veterinarian, will send a man on short notice to do the work, and there will be no charges except for the actual cost of the serum. When requesting this favor of him be sure to state how many hogs you wish inoculated and their average weight. Tbe serum costs 1J cents per c. c., and it takes ahout 30 ; o. c.'s to treat a hog weighing 100 lbs. I From this you can figure out about, how ' much it will cost you to treat your j hogs. I am required by Federal authority to attend the short course at Athens. After returning, I will be glad to treat your hogs. Yours very truly, H. G. Wiley.
