Tom Coleman to Expose his
Wonderful Clock During
Fair Week at “Hamrick’s.”
Every one will remember
what a sensation was created
several years ago when after
years of work Mr.. Tom Cole
man exhibited a clock seemingly
without any motive power what'
ever.
The clock was truly a seven'
day wonder and many people
came to Carrollton just to see
-the clock.
No one though, has ever been
able to solve the mystery as to
what made the clock run.
Everyone knew that lit was ab
solutely necessary tor it to have
some motive, power, or works
of some -kind, but couldn’t solve
just what it was.
Mr. Coleman has at last de
cided to expose |the running
power of the clock, and on next
Tuesday morning, Oct’ 5th, he
will place it |iu the window of
Hamrick’s ©rug and jjewelry
Store, with the running power
exposed.
“Hamrick’s” has recently
moved to the old J. H. Harris
stand, next door to Bradleys.
We are sure our readers will be
certain to go to t he window
next Tuesday, or some time
during fair (week and see the
wonderful clock exoosed.

ble ot the passengers to get of}'
of the train when they realized
that an accident was inevitable,
and [was slightly bruised. Dr.

fall.—Newnan News.
