Clean-Up Week April 5 Please give particular attention to the following ordinances, recently passed by the the City Council. Should the violation of these ordinances trouble you personally it is your own fault, as -n ordinance can be of no avail unless you report its violation to the Council. J. W. Stripling, Chm’n Street Committee. LOOSE CATTLE OR LIVE STOCK. “It shall be unlawful for any person to drive any loose cattle or live stock within the corporate limits of said city. This shall be construed to mean the driving of mules, horses or cows, in droves or otherwise, through the city.” —City Code of Newnan, Sec. 487. CHICKEN ORDINANCE. “Be it ordained by the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Newnan, That it shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to allow or permit any chickens or fowls to be at large upon any street of said city, or upon residence or private property of any person in said city, other than the owner of said chickens or fowls. “Be it further ordained, That, any person, firm or corporation violating the terms of this ordinance shall, on con viction, be punished as prescribed in section 255 of the City Code. “Be it further ordained, That all or dinances or parts of ordinances in con flict.' with this ordinance be and the same are hereby repealed. “Passed in open session Sept. 7, 1914.” I be pro given a made to 'Chalk during the Sudden Death of Mr. John E. Robin son. The sudden death of Mr. John E. Robinson the first of the week was a great shock to the community, and a cause of deep sorrow to his many friends throughout the county. Tues day morning he went out to his farm 3 miles east of town to superintend some planting operations. He did not return home in the evening, but as he fre quently spent the night on his farm during the busy work senson his absence occasioned no uneasiness. However, when he failed to appear Wednesday evening, and as no word had been re ceived from hint, his family became alarmed and a party was formed to in stitute a search for him. Shortly be fore noon yesterday his dead body was found in a patch of woods about mid way between his farm and that of his son, Mr. J. E. Robinson, jr. The sup position is that while passing through the woods from one farm to the other he was stricken with apoplexy, nnd that death was instantaneous. This theory is borne out by the fact that an examina tion of the spot where the body was found showed no evidences of a strug gle. The body was brought to town in an automobile and taken to the late residence of deceased on Spring street. Mr. Robinson was one of our best- known citizens, and a member of one of Newnan’s oldest and most promi nent families. He was a son of the late John E. Robinson, and grandson of Randall Robinson, one of Coweta’s first settlers and the founder of the First Baptist church of this city. Genial and generous by nature, sincere in his at tachments, honest and outspoken in his convictions, he made friends easily, and these friendships he cherished with a loyalty that was admirable. He was a veteran of the Civil War, entering the service as a member of the Newnan Guards when but lli years of age and following the fortunes of this gallant troop until the close of hostilities. His surviving comrades bear testimony that a braver soldier, or one more faithful to duty at all times, never shouldered a musket. Deceased is survived by his wife and five children, the latter being Mrs. Harrv Haywood, of Savannah; Mias Martha Reid Robinson, member of the faculty of Bessie Tift College, Forsyth; Mr. Edwin Robinson, of Atlanta; Mr. Robin Robinson, of Colon, Panama; Mr. J E. Robinson, jr., of this city. He leaves also three sisters—Mrs. A. B Cates, Mrs. Geo. FI. Carmical and Miss Emmie Robinson, all of this city. He was 57 years of age. The funeral and interment will take place to-morrow (Saturday) morning at half-past 1" o’clock, from the residence. Services will be conducted by Dr. J. S. Hardaway, aasisted by Rev. J. E. Han nah. Newnan Will Benefit Greatly by Re adjustment of Freight Rates. A study of the readjustment of freight rates in the South which the railroads are required to make in com pliance with tiie order of the Inter state Commerce Commission, issued in pursuance of Federal law, enforcing a more strict observance of the long anu short haul provision of the Interstate Commerce Act, shows that Newnan and neighboring towns will fare rela tively better under the new arrange ment than under existing conditions. Under the existing adjustment of both interstate and State rates, New nan and similar points in Georgia pay higher rates than those in effect at the larger cities. Under the new arrange ment the relative position of Newnan and similar points will be materially bettered, as the following will show— At present the rates to Newnan from Baltimore and all Eastern points are approximately 19 per cent, higher than the rates to Atlanta and Rome; 13 per cent, higher than to Griffin, and 6 per cent, higher than to Carrollton. Under the new arrangement the rates to New nan will be only about 5 per cent, high er than the rates to Atlanta, Rome and Griffin, and the same as the rates to Carrollton from Baltimore, New York, and all Eastern points. At present the rates to Newnan from Cincinnati and other Ohio river cross ings and all Western points are approx imately 29 per cent, higher than to Atlanta and Rome, 12 per cent, higher than to Carrollton, and the same as to Griffin. Under the new arrangement the rates to Newnan will be only approximately 12 per cent, higher than to Atlanta and Rome, and the same rates as to Carrollton and Griffin. At present the rates to Newnan from New Orleans and other Gulf porta and southwestern points are about 31 per cent, higher than the rates to Atlanta and Rome, 12 per cent, higher than to Carrollton, and the same as to Griffin. Under the new arrangement the rates to Newnan will be approximately 10 per cent, lower than the rates to Car rollton and Griffin, and the same as the rates to Atlanta and Rome. Recognizing the necessity for a re adjustment of the rates between points in Georgia, to substantially conform to the principles prescribed by the Inter state Commerce Commission to govern interstate adjustments, it is under stood that the Georgia carriers will ask the Georgia Railroad Commission at an early date to approve a readjustment of rates within the State. If the pro posed readjustment of Georgia rates is approved by the Commission the rela tive position of Newnan will be approx imately as follows, with respect to ]|[ ]□[ Fresh as a Daisy And Sweet as a Rose! That must have been Lish Sims’ sentiment when he decided one day that he’d open a meat market. I lis ideas were on the right line. That, market of his must AL WAYS BE a “spick and span” CLEAN market. Cleanliness was to be not only a matter of pride with him, but a matter of real, genuine policy with him, that he knew lie could turn to a profit and declare dividends on— for CLEANLINESS IS ALWAYS INVITING. Folks like to come into a clean market, where they can feel the proprie tor has the interest of their health sufficiently at heart to keep what he sells uncontamina- ted—sweet, pure, fresh and whole some. That’s the very thing Lish Sims has done; and his patronage to-day is pretty substantial evidence that his clean, inviting market is appreciated by the Newnan public.
