The compensations ol a sincere,

are not wholly dependent on iin

a privilege to be able to address

is the hub of the universe, and I
am not so much interested in the

will furnish their employes with
supplies. Our merchants would
be ignored, and our shops and

would gel nothing but the taxes,

be better if paid by good Ameri

Fools and Cranks.
Messrs. E. It. Dillingham, H. Y.
Garrett and N. N. Hadden, of At
lanta, spent a while in Newnan
Monday enroute to Whitesburg,
where they instituted on Monday
night a flourishing council of the
Jr. O. U. A. M. They did the
same work at Carrollton on Wed
nesday evening of last week. The
degree team of Newnan council
exemplified this work at both
places, and as usual did the work
in a way to infuse patriotic en
thusiasm in the new councils. The
Carrollton council starts out un
der especially bright auspices, and
will no doubt soon rank among the
best councils of the State.
While the Whitesburg council
will inevitably lie a small one, its
memliership is composed of the
best men of the town and com
munity, and will succeed from its
very inception. Past Deputy State
Councilor P. T. McOutchen, who
assisted in the instituting work at
Carrollton, and would have gone
to Whitesburg but for other duties,
speaks ill highest terms of the
prospects of Newnan’s neighlior
councils, and was especial compli
mentary in speaking of the excel
lent exemplification work by the
Newnan team.
