Rural Carriers to Meet May 31.
The rural carriers of Coweta county
will meet at Newnan on May 31 for the
purpose of organizing a county branch
of the State Association, and it is hoped
that every carrier will arrange his af
fairs so that nothing will prevent him
from attending the meeting.
The organization committee of the
Fourth Congressional district have
taken it upon themselves to call this
meeting, nnd they will also call a meet
ing in each of the other counties of the
district on the same date. In this way
they expect to enroll every carrier in
the district. There are 170 in all, and
only 65 are members of the association.
Great interest is being manifested in
the other districts of the State, and the
indications are thut several hundred
new members will be enrolled. The
committee hopes to make the Fourth
the banner district of the State, und
the hearty co-operation of every currier
is earnestly desired.
Death of Mr. “Nick” Wood.
It is with deep regret that The Her
ald chronicles the death of Mr. A. N.
Wood, one of Newnan's cleverest and
best citizens, which occurred last night
at his home on Temple avenue.
Mr. Wood had been ill for several
weeks, and, although medical skill was
exhausted in efforts to relieve his mala
dy, his condition was so desperate from
the first as to offer little nope of re
covery. He passed away at 9 o’clock
last night., surrounded by all the loved
ones of his family.
For several years prior to his death
Mr. Wood held a clerical position in
the Newnan postoffice, and was
thoroughly efficient in all his duties.
He wuh popular with his follow-em
ployees, and it is not too much to Hay
that every patron of the office was his
friend.
He was 38 yearB of age, and leaves
a wife and one child. Other near rela
tives surviving him are his mother,
Mrs. Mary Wood, and four sisters,
Mrs. Lillie Bryant, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
Mrs. Grace Legg, of Ozark, Ala., ano
Misses Wilton and Blanche Wood, of
this city.
The funeral and interment will take
place at Elim church this afternoon at
3 o’clock.

THE [REXALL STORE
Shorthand Contest.
In the shorthand contest Wednesday
afternoon all previous records were
broken by each of five Newnan girls.
In the practice before the final test the
three girls in the lead made a tie in
speed, each writing 148 words per min
ute. They then agreed to equally share
the reduction given on the scholarship,
by so doing all three becamij winners.
In the final test, however, just to nee
what each would have made, Miss An
nie Tolbert wrote 148 words per minute,
Miss Tommie Broadwater wrote 151 per
minute, and Miss Floy Manning wrote
153 per minute. So, in writing at this
rate, there was not a second’s differ
ence of time in writing two more
words.
What pleased the teacher most was
the unselfishness and the sweet dispo
sition shown by each of the three lead
ers in the contest, by their willingness
to equally share that for which they
had worked so hard. The wordH writ
ten were Hmall words of one syllable—
the only kind they had had in their
study of shorthand lor three days only.
If there are any doubting Thomases
in regard to this feat, either ladies or
gentlemen, we would be glad to have
them call any school afternoon from 2
to 4 o’clock, and we guarantee that
either of the three girls mentioned will
easily write more than 125 words per
minute in your presence, and under
your observation.
