We notice that the entomolo^

The religious revival season is
on and it seems that Newnan has
caught the spirit. The writer has
been permitted to attend a number
of revivals and have heard many
good sermons, but have listened

Methodist church, and head some
able sermons by Bro. Belk of Au

W. B. Kelly, son of Rev. W. W.
Kelly, who joined the U. S. army
a little more than a year ago, came
home last Thursday, where he will
remain for the present. Having
tired of army life, he decided he
had rather pay his way out than
continue longer in the service. So
upon the payment of a specified
sum of money, he was honorably
discharged a short time ago.
