A'HR A TICS ' 'GEOR GIA PRODUCTS DAY.” Nearly two hundred reprenontative \tizens of Newnan and neighboring /•(immunities gathered around the ban- |Uet hoard in Bradley’s hall last even ing as guests at the third annual dinner in celebration of •‘(ieorgia Products Day,” and the occasion proved as in teresting as it was enjoyable. The menu consisted of "Georgia products” exclusively, with barbecued meats and Brunswick stew prepared in Starling ; arpenter’s best Htyle heading the list, of course. The dinner was a pleasing and substantial reminder nf Coweta’s infinite resources in the matter of food products, and symbolized in a most satisfactory way the new era of pros perity dawning upon our section. » Mr. R. I). Cole, president of the County Chamber of Commerce, acted as toastmaster and guvo the speakers a merry time of it before he turned them loose upon the subjects assigned them. The list of speakers and their subjects are given below— "Georgia Products" Hon. W. A. Brannon. "Eternal Vigilance: Does it Pay?" lion. I N. Orr. "Bagging the American Dollar’’ — Mr. I P. Bradley, (excused.) "Should Preachers Be Allowed to Mess Up the Cotton Market in War Times?"—'Col. A. R. Burdett, (also ex cused on account of throat trouble.) "Interest, and More Interest”—Mr. B. T. Thompson. “Empire State of the South”—Hon. VV. C. Wright. "The Cattle Industry From the View point of a City Farmer" Col. R. F. Shedden, of Atlanta. The speeches were in admirable spir it, and as instructive as they were en tertaining. Limited time and space will not permit even a synopsis of the remarks of the different speakers, but some of the points brought out were of such interest and value that we expect to dwell upon them at some length in our next issue. > President Cole having announced at the opening that $120 was needed tocom- plete the fund pledged the first of the year for the purpose of carrying on farm demonstration and canning club work in Coweta county. Col. R. F. Shedden with characteristic liberality authorized the County Chamber of Commerce to draw on him for the full amount of the deficit, and said it gave him peculiar pleasure to make this contribution in aid of a movement that meant so much to the farming and cattle interests o r Coweta county. tin motion of Mr. T. M. Goodrutn a committee was appointed to raise funds for carrying on the work in 19115, viz: 11. C. Arnull, jr.. It. W. Boone, T. M. Goodrutn, G. E. Parks, G. C. Mc- Knight, II M. Drake, A. L.

The session of the North Georgia Conference, which met in Rom > on the loth inst. and adjourned last Monday, was one of unusual interest nnd har mony. The usual routine conference business was attended to, the only de parture from llio general order being the appointment of two conference evangelists, who will give their entire time to holding revival meetings within the lioun is of the conference. Th two preachers apoointed to these places were Rev. W. W. Benson and Rev ti. D. Stone. Bishop Collins Denny presided over the session, being bis third visit to the conference as president in three sue cessive years—a record never made by any other bishop. He is a scholarly gentleman, a tine presiding officer, and a preacher of great gifts. The pro: once of Bishop Wilson, the senior bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, gave great pleasure to the body. Newnan and neighboring towns shared with other localities in the many changes t’tat were made in the ap pointment of ptutors. Rev. H. L. Ed mondson. after rendering most efficient a id acceptable service to the First Methodist church of Newnan, has been assigned to the pastorate of St. .lohn’s church, Augusta. He will be followed by Ri-v, T. J. Christian, who has com pleted a term of four years as presid ing elder of the Elberton district. He began life ns a lawyer, afterwards gave up the legal profession for the ministry, and hRS been a most useful ^ian in whatever field he has labored in. Rev. S. I). Cromean has given place at Love joy Memorial to Rev. T. M. El liott. who served the LaKayette charge the past year, and has done faithful service in several charges during his connection with the conference. Rev. A. J. Sears succeeded Rev.

I.. 1\ WINTER, first killing frost of the season came Tuesday morning. The 15th of November is late from this visitor. Little damage was done, of course, as the season was so far advanced that practically everything had matured that would likely have matured had the coming of frost been longer delayed. The Old Folks’ Concert at the school auditorium last Friday night was quite a success in every way. The gentle men and ladies on the programme dis ported themselves and amused the audience with performances that re called other days and chapters in mem ory that will always be pleasant to recollect. Quite a nice sum was real ized. Misses Maybelle and Lucile St well spent Sunday with the Misses Johnson at Norcross. Mrs. F. T. Meacham, accompanied by Masters Frank and Sam, spent Tuesday in Atlanta. Mr Moreland Zellars made a business trip to Atlanta the first of the week. The Herald representative was absent from home last week, which ex plains the absence from last week's issue of the usual quota of items from Grantville. Several have been on the list of semi invalids this week, among them being Mrs. Pickett and Mrs. Letson. Rev. C. H. Branch joined Mrs. Branch in Macon Saturday, but they will prob ably return this week to make thcr preparations for leaving Grantville. Their going is a matter of regret to many of our people, and the good wishes of everyone go with them to their new home in Toccoa. Mr. and Mrs. Branch have made a tine impression on Grant ville us refined Christian people. Rev. and Mrs. L F. Winter have re turned home—the former from Rome, where he went to attend the session of the North Georgia Conference, and the latter from Atlanta, where be/n visiting relatives. The Parsonage Society met nt the home of Mrs. W. M. White Wednes day and were royally entertained At th” late session of tl e North Georgia Conference Rev. C. H. Branch whs appointed to Toccoa statue . and Rev. B. A. Kellett was assigned to Grantville. Mr. Kellett has been pas tor of the Winterville charge for the two past, years, where he wus greatly beloved. He is a man in the vig- r of manhood, and a preacher of much ability. He has a wife and tlirc»>- chil dren. Mrs. Kcllptt is a lady of fine character, an/1 excellent qualities as a church worker. The family will reach Grantville in a few days. More than one person in the com munity is suffering from the usual fall colds We are requested to say that Rev. L B. Winter will preach at Turin next Sunday. Nov. 17th. TURIN. The writer conducted the funeral of a granddaughter of Mr. Elim Williams at l.ine Creek church on Monday last. The interment took place at th” Whit lock burying-ground. The bereaved family have our sympathy in their be reavement. Our community was greatly shocked Saturday morning upon learning of the death of Mrs. J. R. Ingram, which oc curred the night previous. But few had been apprised of the serious nature of her illness, hence the shock and sur prise when her death was announced. She leaves a husband, three beautiful little girls and her mother to mourn their loss. After an impressive funeral service, conducted by Rev. J. H. Cow art, the remains were laid io rest in Sharpsburg cemetery, many sorrowing friends attending the obsequies. We extend condolence to the bereaved rela tives. Turin friends of Mr. and Mrs. V. P. Enloe sympathize with them in the loss of their little daughter, N'elle, v hose death occurred at Buchanan on Satur day night last. The remains were car ried to Senoia for interment Sunday, a number of Turin friends attending the funeral. Mr. Enloe and family moved from Turin only a few weeks ago, and they have the sympathy of everyone here. The compromise between the prohi bition and anti-prohibition factions in the Legislature was a queer bit of jug gling, it seems to us. If a person is al lowed to receive each month the quan tity of beer, wine or liquor specified in the Act, where does prohibition come in? Millions of gallons of intoxicants can he shipped into the State under the terms of the law as enacted, and, as usual, prohibition in Georgia again gets a black eye. If we are going to pro hibit why not prohibit and make an end of it? Our Methodist friends, as well as all denominations, are much pleased with the action of conference in returning Rev. J. G. Davis to this charge for an other year, for he is popular with all classes. Much stealing is going on in this community, according to report. A horse and buggy were stolen Saturday night front a farmer near Turin, while numerous thefts of seed cotton have en reported. Miss Margaret Yates, of Columbia, S. C., who has been the guest of Mrs. O. p. Lindsey, is with friends in Barnesville tl is week. Mrs. O. P. Lindsey and children are spending a few days in Atlanta. Mrs. Judson Harris is visiting Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Harris, in Newnan, this week. Mrs. Jean Young. M ss Ruth Young and Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Carmical, from near N vnan. were guests of Mrs. Maggie Gay on Sunday last. Mr. G. O. Scroggin and Mrs. Myr- tice Moore, of Newnan, were guests of Mrs. Eph Powell Sunday. Mr. W. B. Harris and sisters. Misses Mary Lou and Julia, motored to Deca tur last week, where they visited t eir sister, Mrs Jos. Hutcheson, and at tended the DcKalb County Fair. Nov. 17th. SHARPSBURG. Il is with deep sadne.s that we chronicle the death of Mrs. J. Richard Ingram, which occurred at her home near here on Friday night last. The remains were laid to rust in the ceme tery here Saturday morning. Mrs. Ingram is survived by a husband and three little girls; her mother, Mrs. Lilia Avery; one sister, Mrs. L. E. Wood; also her grandmother, Mrs. K becca Gay, besides numerous other relatives. The bereaved fumily have our deepest sympathy. We regret to note the illness of Mesdames S. W. Glass and W. M. Bohannon. Messrs. J. R. Brown, W. M. Bo hannon, Joe Ingram, with Me-danies Mattie Ingram and E. li. Wynn, were in Atlanta Wednesday. Miss Ruth McDonald, of I.ongstreet, spent Tuesday afternoon with her sis ter here. Miss Pollye Bridges is at home again, after a visit of several weeks with her sister, Mrs. J. T. Butler, at Barnes ville. Mr. W. E. Martin has returned to Lindale, after serving as depot agent here for the past two months. He made many friends while here, and we regret to lose him from o’ir community. Miss Lurline Cooper, accompanied by Mrs. W. L. McLean, went down to Se noia Wednesday, where the former had some dental work pone. Master Carl Spradlin is at home again, after a stay of two weeks with relatives near Grantville. Mr. W. H. Hall and family, who have been residing near here the past two years, have moved to Fayette county.

Among those present from other communities were Miss Maty Hunter and Mr. John D. Johnson, of Turin; Miss Ruth Mc Donald, Mis? Lillie Mae Raines and Mr. Leon Todd, of Longstreet; Messrs. Claud/’ Landrum and Cecil Hudson, of Fairburn. Some of our citizens killed several fine porkers Monday. Mr L. E. Wood killed one that weighed 352 lbs., and Mr W. A. G. North one tnat weighed 330 lbs.

Capt James W. English, president of the Fourth National Bank, receivtd a telegram Wednesday morning an nouncing the death of his friend and comrade, Hon. M. H. Couch, of Senoia president of the Farmers and Mer- j chants Bank,- of Senoia, a former mem- ! her of the Legislature, nnd a Confeder ate veteran widely known and beloved. Capt. English w s deeply grieved to learn of his friend’s death, and paid glowing tribute to him as a gallant and fearless soldier and true friend. Mr. j Couch was a member of Capt. English's ' company during the Civil War, joining it April 18, 1861, and continuing in the | service throughout the war. He was a member of the ambulance corps, whose duty it was to rescue the wounded from the field of battle—a duty, said Capt. English, often requiring greater bra very than that of fighting the enemy. It's the little troubles that wear away a man's conceit. Army of Northern Virginia, and Mr. Couch participated in all tiie famous campaigns of that great army. Upon his return home he engaged in the mer cantile business, and up to a few years □ go operated the most successtu! and largest business establishment in Se noia. He was president of the Farmers and Merchants Bank, and proved to be as successful as a banker as a mer chant. Mr. Couch was a prominent Mason, having held many positions of honor in the fraternity. Though a staunch Dem ocrat. he refused to accept any pui/lic office, except the mayoralty of his town, until he was finally induced to be come a candidate for the Legislature, to which he was elected, and served two terms. His career in the Legislature was the same as in business —that of a steady, conservative and honorable man. As a citizen of Senoia and C-oweta county he always held a prominent place by reason of his splendid business connections, and also for his kind, ge nial nature, which made him loved and appreciated by the whole town of Se noia. He is survived by his wife and three daughters: Mrs. Geo. D. Pollock, of Birmingham; Mrs. Sterling J. Elder, of Atlanta; Mrs. Geo. E. Nolan, of Orlan Announcements. FOR MAYOR. The friends of MR. H.
