With this issue The Herald reBUtHcH
its baptismal name -the nume Hdopterl
when the begun publication tienr-
|y fifty yearn ng i- nnd “The Herald
and Advertisi r“ ns n newspaper patro
nymic puHRi s into history.
The Herald was established by the
late ,1. A. Welch in 1 MtJO. Afterwards
the late ,1. (\ Woollen acquired an in
terest in the paper, and fur many years
the publishing firm was known as Wont
ten & Welch. Upon the death of these
veteran newspaper men The Horn'd
passed into control of the Wooden es
tate and ('apt. A. B. Cates, the latter
purchasing the interest held by the
Welch estate. Capl. Cates became < d
itor of the paper, and it remained un
der his management until September,
lkm*, when it was consolidated with the
Coweta Advertiser, the Rood will and
outfits of both newspapers going into
the liands of a stock company which
had been organized for the purpose of
perfecting the consolidation referred to.
Willi th(‘ consolidation the name of the
paper was changed, and from that date
until the present time—a period of
twenty-eight years and live months it
has been known as “The Herald and
Advertiser." For a like period (witli
the exception of a single year) it has
remained under the sunn* editorial man
agement.
A few weeks ago tentative proposi
tions passed between the owners of
The Herald and Advertiser and the
Newnan News looking to a merger of
the two papers. The subsequent nego
tiations, which were conducted in a
most amicable spirit, resulted in an
agreement by the terms of which the
name and good will of the Newnan
News was on Jan. 1H formally trans
ferred to the Newnan Publishing Co.,
owner of The Herald and Advertiser,
and the mini of Too Herald and Ad-
vertiser was changed to “The New
nan 11 raid ” 1 lie Newnan News sus
port nnd we promise in return a news-
j paper that will be a credit to Newnan
1 and Cowet a county.
A newspaper is just as good as the
town in which it is printi d will make it,
and no better.

Final Appeal For Continuance ol Farm
Demonstration Work.
The question as to whether Coweta
county will employ a farmdemonstrauon
agent for I'd 15 is yet unsettled. The
general sentiment seems to be heartily
in favor of keeping up the work, but
the subscript.ons made up to the pres
ent time do not sustain the sentiment.
If Coweta cannot settle the question
right away for herself, it will soon lie
(•tiled for her. The Department of
Agriculture is holding $550 for this
county, provided an equal amount is put
up. It the people are not willing to
comply with this requirement the money
will go to some other county that is
willing.
Prof. Campbell, State Agent, in
structed me to notify him by Jan. 20 of
the action taken by the people of Cow
eta, so he can send a demonstration
ngent and the money elsewhere at once,
it Coweta doesn't do her part. 1 am
asking him to extend the time one
week, and I hope he will be considerate
enough to do so.
Coweta should continue the work this
year, because if the provisions of the
Smith-Lever law are complied with by
the coming Legislature she will not
have to subscribe as much to continue
the work in the future as she has
done in the past. Under the operations
of this law the local support will grow
less each year, until Federal and State
aid together supply the whole amount.
This will apply only to counties in
which the work has been carried on for
two successive years prior to the time
the law goes into effect in Georgia.
Therefore, if Coweta fails to support
the work this year she denies herself
the possibility of securing further appro
priations from the Government in fu-
I ture.
The county stands in great need of an
agent j .at now to help in controlling
the scourge of hog cholera recently
brought m with a shipment of hogs
| from Tennessee. This throat* ns to , n-
j tail a heavy loss upon the farmers of
I iho county, all because of the laxity ef
' ilia laws which permit such careless
shipping. Of course, we alone ca-’t
pended public it- ti with its last issue. ! reniedj these lax laws, hut by unites.
‘ effort we cun fortify ourselves against
li nlfords us pleasure to testify that
the most important point considered
throughout the negotiations indeed, !
wo may say it was a controlling inllu-
cnce was a mutual desire on the pirt j
of the owners of the two properties,
respectively, to unite their interests in '
a joint enterprise for the promotion of
one good newspaper in the town. A |
practical demonstration of this spirit !••
found in the fact that the former owners
of the Newnan News are now part own
rsof The Herald one happy family, you
might say, and all np>ally interested in
furnishing Newnan and Coweta county
a live, up-to date newspaper.
Tins, in hn*\ is a history of The
Newnan 11, raid up to the present time.
As to the future, we pledge our best
efforts to a fulfillment of the hopes and
good wishes with which we have been
showered since the consolidation of the |
two papers The purpose of the merger
was not to i cur,> a monopoly of the
newspaper field, in th<> sense that mo
nopoly is generally underatoo 1 an
cried. Although with a subscription ] Potts $2 50,
list considerably augmented, there will
be no increase in advertising rites, nor
is it the present intention of th pub
lishers to advance the subscription
price. Tin' policy of the paper shall he
one of fairness t i ad interests and c-n-
servative in all things
their evil • ffecis if wo have someon-* to
take the iuuiutive. A good demonstra-
uon agent will do tins, in helping to
s’amp out li 1 g cholera, as well as ill all
other movcoi'nts for the b t torment
of agricultural conditions in the county.

two days this week, (Monday and Tues

$1,500 because of injury to their prop- \
erty by the erection of the LaGranee
street viaduct. The jury gave plaintiffs
a verdict for $650 principal and $50 55 \
interest. The plaintiffs were repre
sented by D. B Whitaker, of Franklin, j
and W. L. Stallings. City Attorney A. j
H. Freeman appeared for the defend
ant.
