The organization of a baseball

OAY OF PUBLICATION OF NEWS TO
BE CHANBED.
Beginning with the issue of next
week, the News will hereafter be
Newnan, and the coming season I issued on Friday instead of Wed-
Sheri/P* o fl)cfl
will see some gr<
pulled off here.
At a recent meeting of baseball
enthusiasts, plans for the Associa
tion were outlined and discussed
and the active work of organiza
tion is now going on. Joe Steph
ens will be made Manager of the
Association and Robert Orr Secre
tary and Treasurer. At next
meeting of stockholders a Presi
dent of the Association will be
elected.
It is proposed to sell 80 shares
of stock in the Association at $10
per share, and the money thus
raised will be used in putting the
ball park and team in first class
condition. Stock is going rapidly,
and the Association will soon be
ready to proceed with the organi
zation of a winning ball team.
All the people of Newnan should
encourage the promoters of the
nesday. The change will be made
fate work in the News of
tice tin J for the benefit of patrons,
and the News trusts its readers
will be pleased with the change.
We believe it will be a step in the
direction of better service for bur
readers and advertisers, as it is a
step in line with the improvements
which are now being made in the
News’ office and plant.

The friends of the late Hon. S.
L. Faver are rallying to the sup
port of the movement to raise
funds to erect a monument in his
memory over the last resting place
of the mortal remains of that wor

All friends of this movement
are urged to make contributions
at once. No names of contribu
tors or amounts will be made pub
lic; thus allowing the widest 1 iber- j jp Roscoe Sunday,
to for contributions of any size. j
Friends of this movement have
also decided to select two or three I
good men in each district in the 1
county to solicit and receive these
funds. Names of these persons:
will be published next week. In j
the meantime, contributions may i
be placed in the hands of any
newspaper editor or official of the
county.
When sufficient funds to com
plete this work have been collect
ed, it is proposed to have at the
court house in this city a memo

County's deceased Superior Court
Clerk. This service will probably
be held on the first Saturday in
May. At that time it is expected
that all funds for monument will
have been collected.
