A contemporary gives the follow
ing advice to its deliquent subscrib
ers: “Is you have frequently faint
ing spells, accompanied by chills,
cramp, corns, bunions, chilblains,
epilepsy and jaundice, it is a sign
that you are not well. Pay your
subscription in advance, and thus
make yourself sure of a good obit
uary notice."
Carrollton, Ga., December i 1910
The cold wave has struck us, and
the squeal you the porker is heard
in the land.
If you will but think truly,"you will
render thanks; and thanksgiving
should lead to thanksliving.
Through some oversight we didn’t
have the usual turkey on Thanks
giving day, but then pork and tur
nips were a splendid substitute, and
wh have no complaint to make.
We are rejoicing to note that the
cry is “Back to the farm!" “Death to
the boll-weevil!” "Raise needed sup
plies at home!” Work hard, live in
God’s open, sleep soundly at night,
laugh at hard times and be happy.
Carrollton should have a first-class
sanatarium. It would pay hand
somely, we believe from
and certainly meet a long felt want.
We call the attention of our enter
prising citizens and especially of our
doctors to this need of our cily.
A huge popular tree was cut in
Carroll county last week, on the old
Newt Ross place in 1008 (9th) dis
trict, G. M., now owned by Mrs. W.
A. Turner, Sr., in this city. It was
cut by two white men—Messrs. G.
R, Black and William Cranston—and
measured four feet, four inches in
diameter. The tree was sawed into
shingle blocks, and, with the excep
tion of eight;feet of the but, made
32,550 shingles which wereshipped to
Maj. W. A. Turner in Newnan. An
eight-inch section of the trunk of the
tree was also shipped to Newnan
and is is on exhibit in front of the
court house.—Newnan Herald
Ben Hur In Atlanta
Much interest has been manifest
ed concerning the mechanical meth
ods of the thrilling chariot race em
ployed in Klaw &. Erlanger’s new
great production of General Wallace’s
spectacle, “Ben Hur”, which is to be
presented at the Orpheum Theatre,
Atlanta, Ga., for the week of Decem
ber 5 to 10, with matinees Wednes-
doy and Saturday.
In this great arenic contest the
spectator sees eight horses, galloping
at the break-neck speed and strain
ing every muscle to gain the advan
tage in the race within the ampi-
theatre. Behind each quartet of
horses is a Roman chariot. The
wheels revolving rapidly; the chariots i
lurch and sway and the flaming ’
berribboned garments of the drivers j
flutter behind them, adding intensity !
to the realism of the scene. The il-;
lusion is still further increased as
the interior wall of the ampitheatre
moves along and the dust flies in
blinding clouds beneath the crush
ing wheels of the chariots. The clat
ter of the rushing hoofs of the hors
es and the rumble of the chariots
are distinctly heard.
Elaborate mechanism and applica
tions of electricity produce this
great effect. The mechanism of two
great cradles, twenty feet in length
and fourteen feet wide, and which
are movable back and forth on rail
ways, is supported by a bridge

a mass meeting of the citizens of
Carroll county is hereby called to
be held at the Court House in Car

All citizens of said county are

meeting. Ladies especially invited
to attend. Citizen
Modern R, Lee Sharpe is publish
ing a book "Christinas Smiles"
which promises to be the most
original and clever pieces of prose
and poetry ever handed to our peo
ple. Between 4 and 500 hundred
people of our city are written up
and that covers the field from Judge
New up to Jack Travis which means
you are likely to figure in the ex
travagance of wit, doggrel and sar
casm unvarnished. One gentleman
who had seen some of the advance
proofs says: “Its originality—and
humorous strain tainted with truth
will make its author perpetually
remembered by each one caricatured
if not make him famous in the lo
cality where these books will be
read and re-read and kept as a per
petual souvenir of themselves and
to be handed down to posterity as
local history."
It is to be illustrated and sell for
25 cents and no doubt $5.00 wouldn’t
buy one in two years from now.
With the illustrations the cost alone
is $1.00 so the price is extremely
low
It will be on sale December 15-16

In Memoriam.
Wednesday night Nov. 23rd 1910,
the spirit of Miss S. Jenkins left its
tenement of clay and winged its
flight to God.
Miss Jenkins was 55 years of age
at the time of her death, and was
living with her brother, Mr. W. W.
Jenkins, on Longview St.
This sister was a consistent mem
ber of the M. E. Church South, and
lived her religion. Her love of God
and devotion to her aged mother
were amongst her most prominent
and beautiful traits of character.
She is survived by her aged
mother, five sisters and a brother.
These mourn her departure from
them, but rejoice in her blessed
memory
The funeral services were con
ducted at the home of her brother,
by Rev. A. W. Quillian and Rev. W.
E. Dozier, and her remains iwere
laid to rest in the city cemetery to
await the resurrection of the just.
We have, and will show soon, a
fine and also moderate priced line
of Christmas articles, 5 cents to
$25.00; but mostly $4, $2, and $3.
