It is confidently expected
several hundred people will
present at the mass meeting to
be held here on next Wednes
day, in the interest of the new
1 county. The name of the new
county will at that time be de
cided on, and as the committee
desires that “the people decide”
it is hoped that no one interest
ed will be absent on that day.
Many misleading statements
have been made to the public
by opponents of the,new county
movement, many of them ma
licious and false. At the meet
ing Wednesday the facts will
be submitted in an intelligent
and impartial manner, in order
that all may learn the truth and
receive whut information on the
subject that may be desired,
Let every man lay aside his
business for a few hours on that
day and attend this important
meeting. Several speakers will
be present and the various sub
committees will render their
reports to the Committee as a
whole, Ladies are cordially in
vited. Let every citizen turn
out, whether he is for or against
the new county.

It don’t pay to advertise in a
paper that don’t circulate. The
Messenger circulates. It is read
by most of the people and all of
the time. We have just in
creased our circulation by 300.
That’s increasing some, we
think. It means that your ad
vertisement will reach 300 more
homes than it is* now doing 4 ,
and that it will be read by about
700 more people. What is
home without a MESSENGER?
Now is the time to get in your
ads. Ads that will pay -you:
ads thar vou will be proud of.
Ads that bring the money.
The life of many a woman has
been shortened several years
by continually worrying with an
old worn-out sewing machine,
because it runs heavy, skips
stitches, and wont sew heavy,
thick cloth, and deosn’t make a
pretty stitch.
A housekeepers life can be
lengthened many years by pur
chasing the light-running, noise
less Standard Rotary Shuttle
Sewing Machine. It costs a
little more than the cheap ma
chine but its the best machine
that brains and money can pro
duce. Mauldin Bros, sell them
for cash or on easy payments.
If its not convenient for you to
call at their store, drop them a
line through the mails, and their
salesman will take pleasure in
Cc dling on you and showing you
the Standard. Remember that
calling on you does not place
you under obligations to buy.
Your old machines will be taken
as part payment on the Stand

Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 24.—The
citizens’ committee, appointed
to devise plans for seeur
irg the state fair for Atlanta,
held a meeting in the office of
the mayor today, All of the
members of the committee
pledged themselves to work for
the fair. A sub-committee was
appointed to go among the
merchants of the city and see
how much money can be raised
by popular subscription, so that
the committee, in presenting
Atlanta’s proposition, can do in
telligently.
TWENTY-FIVE REASONS

An Extra Riiason
is that every “Standard” Rotary

The nest of the spider is the Rotary

and is as easily managed as the bobbin.

I . The “Standard” Rotary holds ioo yards of No. 8o cotton.
2. Bobbin more quickly wound.
3. The first Stitch perfect without holding ends of threads.
4. The tension is released when taking out the goods.
5. The finest goods are not drawm or puckered.
6. Less noise than anv other machine.
7. RUNS 75 Per Cent. LIGHTER THAN OLD STYLE
MACHINES.
8. Is the most rapid sewer—makes two motions of the treadle
to three of other machines in sewing the same length seam.
9. I ension not changed by change of speed, size of thread,
thickness of goods nor length of stitch—what other ma
chine can do as much?
10. Most elastic stitch. Thread does not break when seam is
stretched.
11. Does not break thread when machine is run backwards.
12 . The “Standard” Rotary Needle dips only once when making
a stitch—old style shuttle needles dip twice —hence that
much more strain and wear.
13. The “Standard” Rotary Shuttle never stops while the ma
chine is in operation. Old style shuttles start and stop
twice to each stitch. Just think of the extra strain and
wear this makes! The “Standard” Rotary Shuttle moves
onward contiuously without a jar.
14. Shorter needles used than In other lock-stitch machines—
therefore less liable to bend and skip stitches.
15. Owing to the construction of the shuttle and race, the point
of the shuttle always comes in proper relation to the loop,
hence almost absolute freedom from stitch skipping.
16. Shuttle so constructed that it cannot hit the needle—hence
no broken needles from this cause.
17 . Protection and of needle bar and con-
struction of take-up and feed make less liability
to oil goods than in other machines.
18 . The face-plate can be taken off by a thumb screw,
thus enabling the operator to clean and oil the
parts without displacing any of them.
19 . Feed motions all positive—no springs used—
hence machine will feed over all thicknesses of
goods and seams without “chewing” the cloth,
no matter what the length of stitch.
20 . Will wear twice as long as other lock-stitch ma
chines.
21 . Every part is independent of every other part,
and can be replaced at a trifling cost. There
fore you can keep a “Standard” Rotary practi
cally new a life-time,
22 . Bran new set of attachments, self adjusting, and
fastened to the presser bar in place of the foot.
28 . Stand is fitted with adjustable ball bearings,
which insures the easiest, smoothest bearings
known to mechanics, and the wear is for a life
time.
24 . Bent woodwork of the finest construction and fin
ish known to art.
25 . Automatic keyless drawer and cover locks, pecu
