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. Rest-room Visitors.

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. J|[ JL JL jr 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.
