GRIFFI N! GEORGIA, 'WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE
FROM FLAT SIIOAES.
The Increasing Popularity of the News
in Meriwether.
Flat Shoals, Ga,, Juno 26.—The
people around the Shoals have been
blest with a good rain and corn is
tasseliing and silking nicely aid in
dicationsare that there will be a good
corn crop made through this
section if rains hold out a little long
er.
A. F. Copland says he never had
a better prospect for a corn crop than
he has now, and says be has no
room to complain of bis sotton crop.
Ur. Copland is one of our best farm
ers, and by the way a subscriber to
the Griffin News, and says he could
not think of doing without the News;
that he often gets the cost of this
paper out of one copy in reading
matter, and hopes the day is not far
off when all his neighbors will takfe
it. I find everybody anxious to get
hold of the Griffin News, fro* the
fact that it gives an account of all
the happenings throughout the coun
ty, and it only costs fiity (50) cents a
year. So there is no occassion why
everybody throughout the county
should net take it. The day is not
far off when if a man goes to a neigh
bors house and asks the news but
what he will be handed, the Griffin
Weekly or Daily News. The
writer will here say that Mr. Copland
is one of Meriwether’s most substan
tial farmers and a man that the peo
pie of Meriwether can be proud of.
Messrs. Gay & Keith, of Sasserville,
are doing a good business in the way
of merchandising.
Mr. and Mrs, J. E, Nott, of Me
Doaough, have returned home alter
spending several days at the Shoals,
the guest of H. B. Neal, Mrs. Notl’s
brother.
Henry Harris, Deputy Collector of
Internal Revenue, run down on Wed
nesday on legal business. Mr.
Masely, chief Deputy Collector from
Atlanta, was down on legal busi
ness.
Mrs. A. McKnight, of Meriwether,
county, and Mrs. Couoh, of Senoia,
and Mrs. Haden, and Mrs. Cox, all
of Senoia, and Mrs. H. Allen, of
Mississippi, spent Wednesday at the
Shoals on the island of Hopo and
had a delightful time.
CaptM. F. Morris spent Tuesday
and Wednesday at the Shoals in try
ing to catch the finny tribe, but think-
he had rather poor luck. Come
again, Fill, We are glad to see you.
There is a movement in political
circles in Meriwether county, which
if it takes place will make things
lively in Meriwether. I will keep
the News posted on it’s movements,
so as the subscribers to the Griffin
News that live in Meriwether may
know what is going on in the coun
try. This is one of the years that
every Democrat in the county should
take some good paper, aod I do not
know of a better paper than the
Griffin News. All parties wish
ing to subscribe to the Griffin
News can do so by leaving 50 cents
and their address with Master Earlin
H. Kawls, at Flat Sboais, Ga., and
the paper will be forwarded.
The writer learns today that Mr.
Hatchett, near Lifsey’s store, has 50
acres in cotton that has never had a
hoe in it. And I learn that he used
guano very freely on the (50) acres
of cotton. There is not much prospect
of him ever working the cotton from
all accounts.
I think every negro in the county
is saving up his dollar to go to Coium
bus on the 4th of July. I do not
think there will be room for white
people. T. W.

tired? Hood’s Sarsaparilla is just the medi¬

Apple Peelings on the Pavement
disturbs many, and often upsets the peo
pie, but how much oftener does
green apple disturb the stomach and up
set the bowols. This can be set
by Dr. Biggers’ Huckleberry Cordial.
