TURIN.
The funeral of Mrs. W. I. Austin,
whose death was noted in the Turin
locals last week, was held at the Meth
odist church, and her remains were
laid to rest in Tranquil cemetery be
side those of her parents, her husband
and two sisters. The latter were Mrs.
lohn F.lmore and Mrs. Linton McCul
lough. She was a daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John Summers, who passed away
several years ago. She leaves one son
and a daughter, besides several grand
children and n number of other rela
tives. Her son is Rev. Walter Austin,
of Florida, and the daughter is Mrs.
Sidney Martin, of South Georgia. An
inly uncle is Capt. .!. A. Hunter, of
Newnan. The funeral was largely at
tended, and the beautiful tloral offer-
ings fully attested the esteem in which
she was held by her church and com
munity. Services were conducted by
her pustor. Rev. ,1. G. Davis, assisted
by the writer. The bereaved relatives
have our sympathy.
Judging from the number of Sunday
singings these days it would appear
that the land is vocal with music, and
that there is no need of singing evange
lists in these pnrts. Yet hundreds of
ihose who attend these singingB rarely
sing at regular church services, where
the music is usually conducted by a
few singers, who make their own selec
tions. Perhaps the reason here stated
explains why so few people sing in
church, and also why Sunday singings
arn so eagerly sought by the young peo
ple. As a rule preachers are opposed
to these Sunday singings; hut, in our
judgment, they are at fault in not en
eouraging the young people of their
congregations to sing. Teachers of
singing schools these times are fre
quently laughed ai Many of the old
songs that the saints of long ago were
accustomed to sing have been rele
gated as too old-fashioned, while more
modern songs have been substituted by
“progressive" teachers —hut without
improving the service. Many of the
old things are best, and vocal music is
one of them.

witness in an action brought by the
Government against P. (’. Wadsworth,

stock to parties in Meriwether, Carroll
and Haralson counties, as well as in
other sections of the State, his total
sales amounting to something over Slli,-
000. Wadsworth then skipped to New

Newnan Water Given Clean Bill by
State Board of Health.
Conforming to its policy of eternal
vigilance in providing for the people of
Newnan an adequate supply of pure
drinking water, and proving'its purity
by special analysis each year, the Water
and Light Commission forwarded to the
State Board of Health some days ago
samples of city water for analysis. The
samples submitted wore from the deep
wells, which furnish 90 per cent, of the
Attractions at The Strand.
The programme at The Strand for
the corning week is an especially good
one, including a number of sppeial
features Monday the 3-part Vita-
graph emotional drama. "My Lost
One," will he shown. Earl Williams
and Anita Stewart, the popular photo
play star, will appear also in the
twelfth chapter of "The Goddess."
Tuesday, Marin Sais and True Board-
man in another chapter of "The Grand
Hotel Mysteries," entitled "When
Thieves Fall Out," a sensational 2-reel I
detective drama. For Wednesday, at |
the request of many patron--., The i
Strand has secured Francis X Bush- ]
man in the (i part Essanay feature,
"Graustark, ” which critics concede to
he the masterpiece of this famous star.
In order that everyone may see this
picture The Strand will open at 10 a.
m. Thursday, Valentine Grant, the
noted star of the legitimate stage, will
appear in the 3,-part I.ubin drama,
"The Irish in America," part of which
was taken in Ireland. Friday, the l-
part Edison feature, "Ransom's
Folly," from the novel by Richard
Harding Davis; also, a splendid comedy.
Saturday's feature. "Reapers of the
Whirlwind," makes a good ending to a
week of especially fine hills. Good
comedies every day.
Every Farmer Should Attend This
Meeting.
On Thursday next, at 10 a. m.. there
will be a meeting of the farmers of
Coweta in Newnan to hear discussed by
experts plans and methods for con
ducting the fight against the boll wee
vil, which has already appeared in this
county. The meeting will be addressed
by State Entomologist Worsham, who
will tell what must be done to prevent
serious damage by the boll weevil. A
representative of the U. S. Agricul
tural Extension Bureau will speak on
‘Crop Diversification, ” and an official
of the State Department of Agriculture
will discuss live stock as an important
industry in the South. At this meet
ing instruction work will be framed to
apply both to the farmers and the busi
ness men, and they are expected to be
equally interested in it.
The campaign against the boll wee
vil in Georgia has been carefully
ilanned, and will he as thorough as the
xtate Board of Entomology and the
State Department of Agriculture can
make it. The State Entomologist
gives the encouraging assurance that
while there is much work to be done to
ward off the damage that must other
wise result from the boll weevil in
vasion. there is no reason for grave
alarm if the farmers and business men
will earnestly eo-operate to fight the
pest, and that Georgia may continue to
make money raising cotton. However,
a due regard for the threatened danger
and eternal vigilance will he necessary
if this is to be accomplished.
Don’t forget the meeting next
Thursday.
Coweta Delegation Confers With
Commissioner Price.
A delegation of business men and
farmers appeared before Commissioner
of Agriculture Brice on Monday last
and made an appeal for a relaxation of
the quarantine order against the ship
ment of cotton seed from Newnan and
other points in the county to Atlanta.
The quarantine went into effect on Fri
day last, following the announced dis
covery by the Assistant State Entomol
ogist of boll weevil in this county. It
was shown that several hundred tons of
seed had been accummulated by inde
pendent buyers at this point before the
quarantine order was made public, and
buyers faced a possible loss unless per
mitted to ship the stock of seed on
hand. A simdar plea was made at the
hearing by a large delegation from Car
roll county, which is also in the quaran
tine zone. Commissioner Price ex
pressed a willingness to do everything
in his power not contrary to law to re
lieve the situation, and, after confer
ring with State Entomologist Warsham
he ruled that all seed purchased prior
to Sept. 17, and yet on hand on that
date, might be forwarded to their des
tination. Meanwhile, the Commissioner
stated, he would have Fulton county
thoroughly inspected this week, and if
boll weevil should be found in that ter
ritory there would of course be no
further inhibition against the shipment
of cotton seed to Atlanta. The mem
bers of the delegation were pleased at
the friendly reception accorded them,
and fully appreciated the concession
granted in permitting the shipments re
ferred to.

“The Store That Underbuys,”
City Delivery Service Not to Be Dis
turbed For the Present
The report circulated that the city
delivery service would be revised and
rearranged on Oct. 1 in a manner that
would eliminate two city carriers and
put upon rural carriers the duty of
performing a large part of the city
service, was true. I am rejoiced to
state, however, that the order referred
to has been suspended by the Bostoffice
Department for the present, and will
not become effective until Jan. 1, 1919.
Congressman Adamson was advised of
the changes proposed, and of the hard
ships that would be brought upon the
postoffice and its patrons. He imme
diately proceeded to Washington, and in
his masterly way presented the matter
to the P. O'. Department, with the re
sult that the present efficient service
will be continued. Therefore, no per
son now connected with the service will
be disturbed in bis position. We are to
be congratulated upon having a Con-
1 gressman who looks after the interests
of his people and section as faithfully
city's supply, the remaining Ip percent, as does Judge Adamson,
being branch water, a sample of which j S. M. Atkinson, P. M.
was also submitted. A report covering j — ♦
the analyses was received Wednesday. Invecfioalec <xnn’<? TWnth
