the World Film Corporation will pre
sent the great Broadway production,
“Hearts in Exile,” featuring the
charming emotional actress, Clara Kim
ball Young, in the leading role. This is
a Shubert play and has been secured

The Halcyon, only eight days after its
release in New York. Doors will open

in and see it.
Mr. and Mr3. Lee Hand, of Senoia,

proaching marriage in June of their
daughter, Lena, to Mr. Harry Wilburn
Callaway, of LaGrange. Miss Hand is
one of our most popular and accom
plished young ladies. She graduated
in music at Brensu, and later took a
post graduate course at Boston Con
servatory. Mr. Callaway is from one

Hon. W. C. Wright, of Newnan, is
acting as Solicitor-Genera! in Carroll
Superior Court this week in the absence
of Hon. J. R. Terrell, who is unable to
be here on acconnt of illneBS. Mr.
Wright, who enjoys the reputation of
being one of the ablest lawyers in the
Coweta circuit, is no less a success in
the role of prosecuting attorney than he
is in other branches of the practice, and
it is hardly probable that Mr. Terrell
could have chosen anyone who would
represent the State’s interests more ef
ficiently.—Carrollton Free Press.
We are pleased to note that Mrs. J.
E. Hyde, the efficient principal of
Standing Rock school, has been ap
pointed Girls' Canning Club agent for
Coweta county, and will take up
her duties about the first of next
month. Her appointment was made
upon the recommendation of Hon.
Phil Campbell, State Agent of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture, and her
commission comes from the U. S. Com
missioner of Agriculture. She will de
vote her entire time during the coming
six months to the work of organizing
Girls’ Canning Clubs throughout the
county, and giving instructions and
demonstrations as her services may be
requested or required.
Next week is going to be “popularity
week” at The Strand. Among the

funniest man in the world, will appear
in a two-reel Essanay comedy, along

will be the best of the week, and every
one should see it.) On Friday Richard

splendid attractions, next week is

Boss Thief Picked Up by Sheriff
Brewster.
A few days ago Sheriff Brewster got
wind that a negro charged with bur
glarizing another negro’s house near
Clem not long since was supposed to be
lurking in this vicinity, and he began
to keep an eye out for a strange negro
answering the meager description fur
nished him. With this slight clue, aided
by such information as he could gather
from two or three colored citizens who
seemed to manifest an interest in the
capture of the thief, Sunday morning
he got on a warm fail that led out
south of town, and just beydnd Peart
Spring Park came up with several
negroes sitting by the side of the road.
From among the group he singled out
one whom he suspected to be the man
wanted and placed him under arrest.
The negro put on a bold front, declar
ing that there was no charge against
him to warrant his arrest, but as he car
ried a pistol Sheritf Brewster brought
him to town anyway and lodged him in
jail. After a series of sharp questions,
however, the negro finally broke down
and admitted his identity, confessing
not only to the housebreaking neur
Clem, but to a long list of other bur
glaries, extending from Chattanooga to
Newnan. He went farther and gave a
list of articles stolen, and told where
they might be found in the hnnds of
certain pals in his thieving operations
both in Chattanooga and at Chicku-
mauga, giving their names.
The negro said his real name was
Frank Taylor, but that he had also been
known at different places ns Frank
Horton.
On Friday last he was arraigned be
fore Judge Post in the City Court on
two charges carrying a pistol con
cealed and carrying a pistol without
license, lie entered a plea of guilty,
and was given a sentence of $100 or
twelve months on the first charge, and
$50 or six months on the second, lie
was carried at once to the county con
vict camp and turned over to Capt.
Nash,
The Baseball Season.
The Herald prints this week the offi
cial schedule of the Georgiu-Alabama
league, and reference to same will show
that Newnan is well taken care of. We
are given the opening game with Grif
fin, in Gridin, on May (>, and from all
advance reports a record - breaking
crowd will lie in attendance. The Cen
tral of Georgia railway has agreed to
give a reduced rate from Newnan to
Griffin and return, and will hold the
train scheduled to leave Gritlin at 5:10
p. m. until ti o'clock, in order that
those from Newnan attending the
game may have ample time to make
the train. Extra coaches will be pro
vided on the train leaving here at I :■!(>
p. m., and there will be plenty of room
for everyone. The merchants of Grif
fin have agreed to close their stores on
May 6, and the day is to be declared a
half-holiday. A hundred or more New-
nnn “fans” will attend tho opening
game, and Sharpsburg, Turin and So-
noia have also promised to send delega
tions.
After the series in Griffin the team
will return and meet LaGrange on May
10, 11 and 12 on the home grounds.
These games will be hummers, you bet!
and the local park will be taxed to hold
the crowd. From all reports LaGrange
will have a stiong club again this sea
son, and they are coming prepared to
give Newnan a run for her money.
With the arrival of Manager Mat
thews last week and the reporting of a
number of applicants this week the
practice season has begun in earnest.
Matthews has some fine material on
hand, nnd expects to put Newnan up
among the leaders. Exhibition games
have been arranged with the Georgia
Railway and Power Co. team on April
2,'f, and the Agogas on Memorial Day,
(April 2d I The latter club played
Newnan to a 11-inning tie last season,
and they have practically the same line
up this year. Two more exhibition
games will be arranged later, and one
or two practice games will bn played
with the local high school team.
Considerable work has been done on
the park in the past few weeks. Mana
ger Matthews is paying particular at
tention to the inlleld, and expects to
have one of t h * finest diamonds in the
circuit. The men are working out twice
dady — at 10 o’clock in the morning and
at 2 o’clock in the afternoon and the
public is invited to watch the practices.
