The people are coming to New- nan next Saturday, August 4th. Don't forget this, please; and join the throng that will hear Moke Smith’s speech. Coweta people disagm* in poli ties, but they are all together in regard to the statement that the Newnan News prints the news of ('oweta county. Atlanta is making strenuous ef forts to create a I’uekingtown scandal with the Atlanta trade mark blown in the bottle. Atlanta wants her slaughter houses in vestigated. The esteemed Weakly Howell Russell should get busy. The end of the gubernatorial campaign draweth nigh, and as yet that celebrated political llounderer has given no notice ol its intention to carry Coweta county I'orCol. Mstill. The right word spoken at the right time and in the right place never fails to help a town or city. Newnan people should always be prepared to speak for Newnan words that will be lied pin I and in spiring to the home folks, and words that will place Newnan in tin-strongest light before the world. The opposition to Hoke Smith in this county is centered in Newnan. The News predicts that more votes will be polled against Smith in the Fifth than in all other districts of the county combined. As the Fifth is two to one for Smith against the Held, it can readily lie si*en that Dick Bussell has a line show to earn Coweta county. One of prettiest affairs of the week was the reception Monday afternoon given by Mrs. Victor Mangel in honor of her chartiling guest, Miss Henrietta Smith, of Greencsboro. The dainty home presented a lovely picture, in its artistic decorations of cut (lowers and pot plants. Misses Florence! and Bessie Dent, in dainty white frocks, served punch on the ve- randa from a licatitifully decorated ! table on which was a watermelon I from which the meat had liecn | taken, and in its place the refresh- i ing punch was placed. The table in the dining room was pretty with its decorations of red. During the afternoon splendid Neapolitan cream in red and white and angel food cake was served. Mrs. Man j get was lovely in her dainty gown and received her guests in her usual hospitable manner. Miss Baby Bove.joy was the charming hostess at a reception' last Saturday afternoon, given in I honor of Miss Nannalitie King, of Gainesville. Miss Bovejoy’s lovely I home was artistic in its decorations . of pot plants. During the after noon tempting sandwiches tied with blue riblHins and refreshing I iced tea were served.

Moore at the Virginia Hotel for several days, returned to her home last week. The Weakly Howell-Bussell grows sicklier and more forlorn with the passing of each golden summer day. The Howell-nusscll should form an alliance with the Boss of Oglethorpe’s boom. What this eminent political Hopper needs is a change of base. It has liccu whooping for Dick Bussell too long, and another change of candi dates would probably cause a re turn of former roseate hues to the Howell Bussell’s political prognos tications. Misses Billie and Dc-die Brad ley entertained at a spend-the-day party last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. Bradley.
