NEWNAN HERALD NEWNAN, FRIDAY, APR. 30, LOCALS BROUGHT PORWARD. Mrs. M. 0. Mackey, whose illness is mentioned in our Turin letter this week, died at that place Wednesday night, at an advanced age. She was the eldest of eight daughters, her pa rents being Dr. and Mrs. Page, one of Coweta’s oldest and most prominent families. She leaves three daughters, Mrs. F. L. Watts of Senoia, Mrs. Wil bur Jones of Fitzgerald, and Mrs. Tommie Jones of Yoakum, Texas. She is survived also by fourteen grand children and two great-grandchildren. The funeral took place yesterday, ser vices being conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. G. Davis, assisted by Rev. II. S. Reefc. Her remains were laid to rest in Tranquil cemetery.

There is increasing interest in the opening game of the league season be tween Newnan and Griffin as the date approaches, and a large number of local “fans” will go down to witness it. The series will be played out at Grif fin, embracing Thursday, Friday and Saturday next. Extra coaches to ac commodate the crowd will be carried by the eastbound afternoon train Thursday, and by the Cedartown ac commodation train returning. The last-named train will be held 20 min utes at Griffin for the convenience of the excursionists. Round-trip rates have been granted by the railroad as follows: From Newnan, $1,10; Ray mond, 90c.; Sharpsburg, 80c.; Turin, 75c.; Senoia, 60c.; Brooks, 50c. The popular Strand Theatre is going to give photo play lovers a real treat all next week. Monday the interna tional favorites, Alice Joyce and Guy Coombs, will appear in a 3-act modern drama entitled "A Girl of the Music Halls.” This is said to be one of Miss Joyce’s best efforts, and we feel sure it will make a hit. Tuesday Leah Baird and Leo Delaney will appear in a Vita- graph special in two parts, and Wed nesday we will have the pleasure of presenting one of the most popular stars in pictures—Miss Ethel Clayton— in “The Blessed Miracle,” a 3-act so ciety drama. Thursday will be "laugh day,” when Charlie Chaplin, the great est of all comedians, will appear in a 2- part comedy scream. Friday we will present the idol of all picture lovers, Francis X. Bushman, in "The Return of Richard Neal,” a 3-part romantic drama. Don’t miss any of these great pictures. Ladies’ Rest-room to Be Opened Soon. The County Club, composed of some of Coweta’s public-spirited women, is now in a fair way to realize its am bition for a comfortable, conveniently located rest-room in Newnan for the benefit of lady shoppers and visi tors from the country and from neigh boring towns. Some months ago the County Commissioners granted the use of the old jail building for the purpose named, and the members of the club have been making efforts since to raise sufficient funds for repairs and alter ations needed to make it habitable and attractive. Most of the sum needed has been contributed by our merchants, supplemented by donations from the club membership, and the work is now well under way. The job is in the hands of Mr. W. G. McWilliams, the well-known contractor, which is a suf ficient guarantee that it will be prompt ly and properly done. The entire first floor will be remodeled, and a new stair way leading to the upper floor will be built. Other improvements will be made from time to time, as the club funds may warrant, and the entire premises rendered as attractive as possible. The rest-room will fill a long- felt want in Newnan, and the officers and members of the County Club de serve full praise not only for the ex cellent work they have accomplished, but for the admirable spirit which has prompted it. Memorial Day Observed With Inter esting Exercises. Memorial Day is always fittingly ob served in Newnan, but the ceremonies which marked the celebration of this sacred anniversary on Monday last were of an unusually interesting and inspir ing character. The exercises were held in the court-house, Hon. John B. Good- wyn presiding as master of ceremonies. The opening number on the pro gramme was a quartette, “My Old Kentucky Home,” beautifully rendered by Mrs. T. M. Goodrum, Miss Jessie Porter, Mr. Harvey Hale and Mr. D. S. Cuttino, accompanied by Prof. Chas. Astin on the violin, with Miss Martha Astin at the organ. Other war-time songs given by the quartette during the exercises were “Nellie Gray” and "Old Black Joe.” Another musical number that was much enjoyed was the popular new song, “Neutrality,” the words and mu sic composed by Prof. Chas. Astin, and rendered by his tahnted young daugh ter, Miss Frances Astin. MiBs Sarah Hall recited “The Con federate Flag,” the beautiful poem by bister Esther Carlotta, of St. Peters burg, Fla., the recitation being given with a spirit and grace that evoked a round of applause from the large audi ence. The great feature of the exercises, however, was the eloquent and master ly address of Col. Stanford Arnold, the orator of the day. He wa3 introduced by Col. Thos. G. Farmer, jr., who paid a graceful tribute to the popular and gifted young speaker. Col. Arnold uiade a splendid speech, dwelling elo quently and feelingly upon the glories hi / ‘ Lost Cause” and the imperial)- “tie faraii of the heroes in gray who laid down their lives in defense of their country, as well as those who have gone to join their comrades in the years following the war, and the few honored veterans who still survive. The speaker frequently rose to the heights of gen uine oratory, and at the close of the address was given an ovation by the admiring and enthusiastic throng' that gathered around him. The exercises were held under the auspices of the Daughters of the Con federacy. Upon the completion of the programme a procession was formed and marched to the cemetery, where the soldiers’ graves were decorated with flowers by the school children. Hon. Jos. L. Brown was marshal of the day. Newnan May Get Another R. F. D. Route. Contingent upon certain conditions, the 1’ostoffice Department has author ized the establishment of another rural mail route from Newnan. to be known as Route 8, and surveyed as follows: Newnan to Copeland's crossing, on the Sargent road; thence west to Dial’s fork; thence in a southerly course to Pitman’s fork, intersecting Route 1; thence west and northwest to Turner’s fork; thence in a southeasterly course to Crowder's corner; thence south and west to Millian's corner; thence north west to McKoy’s corner; thence south to Cavender's cross roads, crossing Route 1; thence southeast to Perdue place; thence in a southerly course to Summers place, intersecting Route 1; thence west and southeasterly to Brad ley’s farm, crossing Route 4: thence in a southeasterly course to Rigsby’s cor ner; thence northeast to Simms place, intersecting Route 4; thence north and east back to Newnan;—length of route, 28.6 miles. The new route will add 3 miles to Route 1. Service will begin June 1, and an examination for a per manent carrier will be held the latter part of May. Referring to the proposed establish ment of this route the Fourth Assist ant Postmaster-General has written Postmaster Atkinson, under date of April 22, as follows — “The establishment of this route is contingent upon not fewer than ninety- three families arranging to become patrons and actually erecting boxes on the route. (Note section 828, Postal Laws and Regulations.) Not later than May 15, 1915, you will submit a definite report to this office as to the number of families that have complied with this requirement. Unless your report shows that at least the number stated have actually arranged to become patrons and erected boxes on the route, it will be necessary to rescind the order au thorizing the establishment of the ser vice.” Families residing on the route which it is proposed to establish are thus duly warned, for it is absolutely certain that unless the conditions set forth by the Fourth Assistant Postmaster - General are fully complied with the route will not be established. Coweta’s Manufacturing Enterprises. There are twenty-nine corporations in Coweta county engaged in manu facturing. These corporations have a known capitalization totaling $1,463,230, but the amount really invested in the various enterprises is easily double that sum, if not more. The names and location of the different concerns and their paid in capital, together with a list of their varied products, is printed below — Newnan—Newnan Cotton Mills, cot ton yarns, $500,000; McIntosh Mills, cotton yarns, $188,600; R. D. Cole Mfg. Co., engines, boilers, saw mills, grist mills, towers and tanks, sash, doors and blinds. $100,000; Coweta Cotton Oil Co., cotton seed products, $50,000; Manget-Brannon Co., meal and fertil izers, $35,000; Coweta Fertilizer Co., fertilizers, $25,000; W. S. Askew Co., meal, flour, sash, doors and blinds, $25,000; McBride Grain & Feed Co., mixed feedstuffs, $10,000; Newnan Ice & Fuel Co., ice, $7,000; Newnan Marble & Granite Co., monumental work, $6,100; Newnan Publishing Co., news paper and job printing, $6,100; Geor gia Cement Vault Co., burial vaults, $3,100; Swint-Davis Leaf Tobacco Co., cigars and tobacco products, $3,000; Ezra Johnson Novelty Co., novelties, $2,830. Grantville—Grantville Hosiery Mills, hosiery and cotton yarns, $150,000; Grantville Oil Mill, cotton seed pro ducts and fertilizers, $50,000. Moreland—H. W. Camp Co., fertil izers, $35,000; W. A. Brannon Co., fertilizers, $30,000; E. N. Camp & Sons Co., agricultural implements, $15,000. Sargent—Wahoo Mfg. Co., cotton yarns, $100,000; Arnall Gin Co., gin nery, $3,600.

The above list does not take into ac count numerous privately owned saw mills and steam ginneries scattered over the county, which, conservatively Btated, represent an investment of at least $50,000. The combined pay-rolls of the thir teen manufacturing plants located at Newnan average not lesB than $25,000 a month—probably more—thus putting into circulation each year the tidy sum of $300,000. This does not include officers’ salaries, dividends, repaii wo-k. etc., which easily total as much as $125,000 per annum. These figures explain more_ convinc ingly than mere words why Newnan is such a sol id town —nor do they include fully $1,500,000 invested in banking and various commercial enterprises, cor porate and otherwise.

In a well-played game last Monday Newnan defeated the Agogas. of At lanta, by the score of 5 to 1. The game was featured by the heavy hitting of the locals, who also put up a star game in the field. Whitney nnd Methvin did the pitching for Newnan. the former going seven innings, allowing but two hits, while the latter pitched the last two innings without yielding a bingle. The visitors' lone tally was made from a home run by Kiker in the first inning. Manager Matthews is still working his men out twice daily, and they are fast rounding into shape. A number of fans go out to the park each day, and everyone is of the opinion that Newnan will have a dandy team this season. “Matty” is a ilne instructor. He knows every angle of the grand old game, and when the umpire calls “play ball!” in Griffin next Thursday Newnan people may be assured that the team representing their city will be trained in every department of the game. Indications now point to a record- breaking crowd in Griffin on May 6. A hundred or more fans are going from Newnan, while delegations from Ray mond, Sharpsburg, Turin, Senoia, Moreland, Grantville, and other nearby towns expect to make the trip. The railroad fare from Newnan to Grillin and return is only $1.10, and corres pondingly low rates mav be obtained from all points on the Central of Geor gia railway. The railroad officials have agreed to hold the train leaving Griffin at 5:40 p. m. until 6 o’clock, and they will also provide extra coaches on the train leaving here at 1:40 p. m., guar anteeing each passenger a comfortable seat both going nnd returning. Mav 6 is to be a gala day in Griffin, and it be hooves us to send a large crowd down for the occasion. Attention is directed to the half-page advertisement in this issue of The Her ald, in which the Newnan merchants agree to give a general admission ticket with each $5 cash purchase, or $5 paid on 1914 account. This ticket is good for the opening game with LaGrange in Newnan on Monday, May 10.
