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. Are von weak and weary, overworked and tired? Hood’s Sarsaparilla is just the medi¬ cine to purify your blood an give f*) yc - strength. 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. A SUNNY SIDE PICNiJ. Full Programme ot a Delightful Occa¬ sion-Other Notes.
