At Episcopal Church.
Bishop C. K. Nelson has made
arrangements to supply a minister
for the Episcopal church in this
city on the 2nd ami 4th Sundays
in each month ami on each 5th
Sunday. Services this month will
lie conducted by Rev. Mr. Perry
of the Church of Incarnation in
Atlanta, and the first service will
occur next Sunday.
The future of the Episcopal
church here appears to I*e promis
ing. Much interest has been
aroused among the members and
others persons, chiefly through the
efforts of Mrs. C. R. Heidenberg
and other ladies of the church. It
seems probable that the work will
lie so much enlarged at an early
date as to justify the employment
of the services of a regular pastor
for each Sunday in every month.

Sonoia’s Chanco to Got a
Railroad.
The Atlanta, Birmingham «A At
lantic Railway is surveying a route
for a proposed extension of UmL
line from Warm Springs to Atlan
ta. It. is well known that tile A.,
B. iA A. proposes to build to At
lanta from some point on its main
line, and this branch w ill probably
be constructed from Warm Springs.
In building direct from Warm
Springs to Atlanta the A., B. .A
A. will run through the southeas
tern portion of Coweta county.
Henoia is on this route and the
road, if built, should go through
thut place. This seems to be He-
noia’s opportunity to get another
railroad.
Probably, after passing Henoia,
the A., II. & A. would want to
pass through Newnan. If so, it
will be welcomed up this way.
