A dog belonging to a tenant on Mr.
Albert Potts’ place went mad about a
month ago and ran amuck. Before the
brute could be run down and killed
it had bitten a young negro boy,
any number of dogs, and several
head of cattle. Three valuable milch
cows belonging to Mrs. John Rigs
by, of the New Hope settlement,
and two others in the same pasture
owned by neighboring farmers, were
bitten by the dog, and all have since
died. Dr. J E Marsh, the veterina
rian, was called to see the animals, and
after an inspection announced that all
were affected with hydrophobia. He
sent the head of one of the cowa to the
Pasteur Institute, Atlanta, for exami-
naiion, and his opinion as to the cause
of its death was confirmed. All those
handling the dead carcases were ad
vised as a measure of precaution to
take the Pasteur treatment, and they
have done so—Dr. Marsh included.
Mr. E. E. Summers, whose illnesB
haB been mentioned in previous issues
of The Herald, passed away yesterday
afternoon at his home on E. Broad
street. He had been in feeble health
for several months, due to a complica
tion of ailments, and his death was not
unexpected. He was one of Ntwnan's
oldest and cleverest citizens, and for
nearly forty yearB had been a familiar
figure upon our sleets. He was 88 years
of age yesterday. Two children are
left to mourn their loss, Mrs. W. G.
Massey, of Sacramento, Cal., and Mr.
J. P. Summers, of Galvestion, Texas,
the latter being at the bedside of his
father when he died. He is survived
bIbo by his aged mother, Mrs. Eliza
beth Summers; three sisters, Mrs. W.
S. Carmichael, of Durant, Fla., and
Mrs. A. A. Wright and Mr\ Beulah
Ragland, of thiB city; three broth
ers, Messrs. J. H. and C. E. Summers,
also of Newnan, and Mr. J. W. Sum
mers, of the Fourth district. The
funeral will take place this afternoon
at the First Baptist church, services to
be conducted by Rev. F. J. Amis, of
Welcome. The interment will be at
Oak Hill.

Family Reunion.
One of the most pleasant occasions of
the summer was the family reunion of
the children of the late Leonard H.
Walthall, held at the home of the eldest
son, Mr. J. E. Walthall, near Moreland,
on Thursday, July 29. The day was
most enjoyably spent by both young and
old. At the noon hour a barbecue din
ner was served in a nsar-by grove.
Barbecue and Brunswick stew were
the chief viands, but the table was also
sumptuously laden with cakes and pies
of all kinds, breads, (the good, old-fash
ion corn pone, or Presbyterian corn-
bread, ns some know it,) pickles, iced
tea and coffee—a dinner, in fact, to
suit all tastes.
All the seven original members of the
family were present, with most of their
families, viz: Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Car
michael and children, Mr. and Mrs.
Thus. McDonald and children of Sharps-
hurg, Mrs. Lilia Camp and children of
Newnan, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Walthall
and children, Mr. and Mrs. W. N.
Walthall and children, Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Leigh Camp and children of Newnan,
Mr. and Mrs. Lee B. Walthall of Wrens,
Ga., Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Addyof More
land, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Pike of New
nan, and Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Camp
of Atlanta.
The invited guests were Mrs. Olin
Chester, Miss Mary Chester and Miss
Lanelle Brooks, of Cedartown; Mrs.
Geo. Turner and children, Lewis nnd
Mildred, of Columbus, (children and
grandchildren of Mrs. Anzors Walthall
Brooks, the only living member of the
old family;) Uncle Levi and Aunt Jule
Young, Uncle Joe and Aunt Sallie Car
michael, Aunt Jane Carmichael, Uncle
Lawson Bowers, Mr. J. A. Webb, Mrs.
Lutie Powers and Mr. Millard Camp, of
Newnan. and Rev. W. H. Millen.
Aug. 3rd.
Filth Division Sunday-school Con
vention.
The fifth division Sabbath-school con
vention met with Smyrna church on
July 22, with C. J. Owens chairman.
The exercises were opened at 10 a.
with song and prayer.
At 10:30 a. m. Judge W. A. Post ad
dressed the convention. Subject; “What
the State Owes to the Sabbath-school.”
In his lucid, pungent and convincing
style it was made evident that the
Judge, from his long service as Sunday-
school superintendent and his experi
ence in the courts of our Stute, was
thoroughly qualified to handle Ins sub
ject, and I am satisfied that those who
pad the pleasure of hearing him were
amply repaid for the time and attention
given to it.
At 11 a. m. Dr. E. W. Stone pastor
of the FirBt Baptist church, Newnan,
preached a strong sermon, using as a
basis for his discussion the 119th Psalm;
and, be it said, that with the aid and
guidance of Ihe Holy Spirit he proved
himself a close student, a fine logician
and a forceful interpreter of the scrip
tures. No one could have listened to
such an able presentation of the truths
of Holy Writ without being elevated to
a higher conception of citizenship, both
temporal and spiritual.
At, 12 o’clock a recess of one hour and
a half was given, during which social
intercourse between neighbors and
friends, some of whom had not met for
years, wits enjoyed;—and such a dinner I
as the good women of that community
alone can prepare was spread for the
refreshment of the “inner man.” Thu
long table fairly groaned under its
weight of good things; "and they all
did eat and were filled,” and of the
fragments left the good women took up
twelve hasketsful, and more.
At 1:30 p. m. the convention re-as
sembled and enrolled the delegates pres
ent. Rev. J. E. Hann h, of Newnan,
then addressed the convention, his sub
ject being—“What the Sabbath school
Owes to the State.” Although prece
ded by other able speakers, who e ad
dresses were more or less along the
same lines, he gave a very forceful and
comprehensive presentation of the sub
ject in hand, evidencing the fact that
he was a close and intelligent ohserver
of the "signs of the times,” and gave
some practical suggestions that I am
convinced could be employed with profit
by both the State arid the Sunday-
school.
Rev. Firley Baum, pastor of the
Methodist church at Moreland, gave a
most interesting and instructive talk,
stressing the importance of the manner
of life we should live, as related to its
influence upon others, which was much
enjoyed by all.
Aft, r a few short talks from dele
gates, representing different schools,
the convention adjourned, the unani
mous verdict being that the meeting
had been a glorious success.
F. T. Meacham, Sec’y.

ANNOUNCEMENT
The following prices f. o. b. Detroit, effective Aug. 2, 1915:
Ford Runabout $390
Ford Touring Car 440
Ford Town Car 640
No speedometer included in this year’s
equipment, otherwise cars fully equipped
Thcie can be no assurance given against an advance in these prices at any
time. We guarantee, however, that there will be no reduction in these prices
prior to Aug. 1, 1916.
Profit-Sharing With Retail Buyers
On Aug. I, 1914, we made the announcement that if we could make and
sell at retail 300,000 Ford cars between Aug. I, 1914, and Aug. I, 1915, we would
share profits with the retail purchasers, to the extent of from $40 to $60 on each
car. We have sold over 300,000 Ford cars in the time specified, and profit-shar
ing checks of $50 each will be distributed as rapidly as possible after Aug. 15,
1915. Retail purchasers who have not yet mailed us their profit-sharing cou
pons, properly endorsed, should do so without delay.
Our plan to profit-share with retail purchasers of Ford cars during 1914-1915 has been most
successful. We thoroughly believe in it, but realizing the uncertainty of conditions generally
makes it advisable to defer any announcement of future profit-sharing until a later date.
We are, however, confident of our inability to reduce costs for several months, and there
fore can offer no profit-sharing for cars delivered during August, September atid October, 1915.
