Marbury, an experienced and successful merchant, has re moved from Govington to Newnan and purchased the Newnan Furni ture Company from J. M. Dunbar and R. A. Reese. Mr. Marbury is a hustler in business and Newnan welcomes him to the best town in Western Georgia. He will contin ue the business established by the Newnan Furniture Company, as announced elsewhere in this week’s News. * * * C. P. Stephens & Co., the popu lar grocery merchants, have sold their business to Mr. Tom Treada- way, of Cave Springs, Ga. The latter will not take charge of the business, however, until Jan. 1, 1907. At that time Stephens & Co. will enter the general merchan dise field in this city in the build ing now used by the Newnan Hard ware Co. as a stove department. C. P. Stephens & Co. have been successful in the field they now oc cupy, and the firm has numerous friends who wish them the greatest possible success in the broader tield of business they propose to enter. * # * T. L. Camp, one of the best known and most popular grocery men in the city, will also retire from this line of business, having sold out to G. E. Adams. Mr. Adams takes charge of the-lmsi- ness on Oct. 1st. Mr. Camp has not definitely set tled his plans for the future, but it is probable that he will engage in truck farming. His successor in business, Mr. Adams, has been for years one of the most popular com mercial travelers in the State; and while Newnan has been his home, but little of that time has been spent here. Mr. Adams’ friends welcome him to a business which will keep him in the city, and all wish him mighty well in his new field. * * * Hon. W. A. Brannon, the big merchant of Moreland, will re move with his family to Newnan next month and will occupy the < 'alhoun homeon Greenville street, which he has rented.

This concern will be incorporated and Mr. Brannon will be largely inter ested in the reorganized company. Mr. Brannon is one of Coweta county’s foremost ami most suc cessful business men and will prove a valuable acquisition to Newnan’s business interests.

Congressman Adamson opened his address by saying it had been his custom for several years, dur ing campaign years, to make a speech in Newnan on the first Mon day of the SeptemlKir term of court. He was unavoidably prevented from doing so this year, and came on the second Monday instead to fill his engagement. The speaker discussed both Stute and national issues. He declared that Georgia would have the ablest governor in the Union after the inaugura tion of Hon. Hoke Smith; ami heartily endorsed the State plat form adopted in the Macon con vention. He approved the plan to extend the Western and Atlantic, railroad to thu sea, and suggested that the State’s convicts might lie used in the work of construction. He delivered a ringing call to Democrats to rally for the October election and bury Socialism and Indcpundentisiu under an ava landie of ballots; calling attention to the fact that all of the Demo cratic nominees for State offices have opposition from Independent or Socialist candidates. In discussing national issues Congressman Adamson delivered a scathing arraign men t of the Re publican party, lie spoke of the faithful services in Congress of the valiant Democratic minority and showed that the best luws enacted at the last session by the Republi can majority, originated in the Democratic party, lie delivered an announcement of great interest to this city and county by saying that Newnan stands first on the list foran appropriation of #50,000 for a federal building, when the appropriation bill comes up for action at the next session of Con gress.
