"We have determined, in making our
announcement, to refrain from all sem
blance of ambiguous adjectives, ridicu
lous wholesale assertions or grandilo
quent terms, only suggestive and indic
ative of exaggeration. Convinced that
the public-discriminate between sound
sense and well-worn, meaningless asser
tions, and will appreciate plain state
ments of prominent, positive, undenia
ble facts,—we propose to announce our
features in honest, open-handed, and
modest English, ignoring all “mock
auction” methods—confident that the
people of Coweta county, blessed with
keen perceptions, will readily recognize
reasonable announcements, dissect
“chaff from corn”—read, reflect, re-
selve, and act for themselves, and reso
lutely reject blustering bombast and
blather wherever flagrantly manifest
ed. The public judges its individual
requirements and cannot be deceived.
They will purchase where the best bar
gains can be secured and refuse inferior
goods. We brave the careful criticism
of connoisseurs.
Below- we quote a few prices which
no firm in Newnan can beat :

Palmetto.
Mr. Editor:—At 5 o’clock on Wed
nesday afternoon, 14th inst., a large
crowd assembled at the Baptist church
to witness the marriage of Miss Lillie
Stipe, youngest daughter of Mr. Henry
Stipe of this place, and Mr. Ira L
Smith, of Powellville. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. G. W. Duval.
The attendants were Miss Maggie
Payhe, of Atlanta, with Col. R. M.
Holley; Miss Cosbie Cranford with Dr.
L. M. McGee, of Powellville; Miss
Maud Hughen, of Powellville, with
Capt. N. C. Bridges, of Coweta; Miss
Leonora Payne, of Atlanta, with Mr.
J. A. Bryant; Miss Florrie Bullard
with Dr. P. E, Smith; Miss Sophie
Stipe with Dr. E. H. Sims, of Stock-
bridge. Messrs. T. L. Camp and W.
H. Handley were the ushers. Miss
Wier Lyndon presided at the organ.
The presents were numerous and val
uable. The bridal party left on the
accommodation train for Powelville,
their future home. The good wishes
of the entire community go with them.
Miss Lillie has lived in Palmetto al
most all her life and is a general favor
ite. Mr. Smith has made a w r ise and
happy choice. She will prove—
“A guardian angel o’er his life presiding,
Doubling his pleasures and his cares divid
ing.”
He has become very well known here
during his frequent visits in the past
two years, and has made quite a favor
able impression in the town. The
young couple begin life together under
propitious auspices. May they live
long, and may no dark cloud ever arise
to obscure the horizon of their happi
ness.
Christmas week bids fair to be more
than usually lively in Palmetto. Both
Sunday-schools, as is their custom, will
celebrate the holiday occasion. Exact
ly what form these entertainments will
take has not yet been decided. But
the most brilliant event of the -week
will be an entertainment given at the
academy on Tuesday evening. 27th
inst., for the benefit of the Masonic
Lodge. Quite an attractive musical
and literary programme has been pre
pared for the occasion. Besides this,
an elegant and bountiful supper will
be provided.
Several very fine hogs were killed
in Palmetto this week. Mr. O. A.
Cochran killed three which weighed
539, 502 and 207 pounds, respectively.
Mr. J. J. Bearfield killed four which
weighed 367, 263, 197 and 160. Mr.
Wesley Bearfield killed three which
weighed 398, 217 and 168. Mr. C. B.
Mosely one weighing 410. Quite a
number of 6-months shotes were killed
averaging from 150 to 170 pounds.
Mrs. Moore, of Coweta, after spend
ing several days in Palmetto, with her
daughter, Mrs. W. J. Barfield, started
to Arkansas on Monday last.
Prof. Sims closed the second session
of his singing school at Palmetto Bap
tist church last Saturday night.
Miss Anna Morris, of East. Point, at
tended the Stipe-Smith marriage on
Wednesday.
Misses Louise Killian and Wier Lyn
don are at home from College Temple.
Dec. 15th. Nemo.
From North and South, from East and
West,
Come throngs of buyers eager.
Because Swint’s prices are the best:
To suit the means where meagre.
Here comes the toiling artisan
To save an honest penny;
The horny-handed farmer, too,
To seek the bargains many.
The rich and poor, they throng Swint’s
door.
Each one the chance embraces:
They buy their goods, and from his store
Go home with happy faces.
He wages war on prices high.
His banner’s now unfurled—
With mammoth stock aud prices low
He sure can beat the world.
| Remember the place—No.

Turin.
Mr. Editor:—On Thursday morning
last Rev. W. C. Fox, of the North
Georgia Conference, was united in
marriage to Miss Willie E. Lyons, of
this place, the ceremony taking place
in the Methodist church. The happy
couple left immediately for the home
of the groom. The reverend gentle-
« an has made a most excellent choice,
r his bride is a lady of deep piety and
thoroughly enlisted in the cause of re
ligion. Bridal presents, prayers and
hearty congratulatians go with the
young couple.
Madame Rumor has a number of
other names on the matrimonial list,
which will doubtless figure at the hy
meneal altar before New Year’s.
The action of the Conference in re
turning Rev. Mr. Sanders to this cir
cuit is highly acceptable to his congre
gation, and to the community at large.
Rev. J. B. Hunnicutt brings back en
couraging reports from the conference.
Miss Lizzie Arnall, of Parker’s Mill,
is on a visit to relatives in Turin.
Mr. AYill Cannon has moved up near
Turin, from Bingham’s mill.
The Turin grist mill is doing a good
business. They make splendid meal.
: The cotton crop has been gathered,
baled and marketed, and yet many of
! our farmers complain that they have
; come out behind. The colored race is
j the only class that appears to be satis-
j fied with the year’s results. Well, a
contented mind is worth all the bal
ance put together.
Your correspondent enjoyed a visit
to Luthersville a tew evenings since,
spending a pleasant night with the
family of Mr. Mike Hindsman. Luth
ersville is admirably located and en
voys excellent advantages in the way
; of churches, schools, and other public
; enterprises. One of its best features is
! its absolute freedom from the curse of
the liquor shops.
The business men of the place are
enterprising and liberal in their deal
ings, and no better evidence of their
success could be desired than is shown
by the fact that we found none who
complained of dull times—save the
“coffin men” and the doctors of the
place.
Well, it is really amusing to note the
efforts being made by the “wets” in
Atlanta to make the liquor traffic re
spectable in that city.
Mr. H. C. Arnall, of your city, was
here last Monday on business.

Fourth District.
Mr. Editor:—Last Friday afternoon
Ernest Stallings, the 12-year-old son of
Capt. W. T. Stallings, accidentally
shot Green Staley, a young man of 18
years, a son of Mr. Albert Staley. • The
circumstances, as 1 understand them,
were as follows: Ernest had been hunt
ing and got his gun wet. When he re
turned home his father advised him to
discharge the loads in the gun. Earnest
took the gun and pointing it at a tar
get bursted a cap on one barrel and
then tried the other. When the cap
bursted on the second one the gun did
not fire, but began to blow fire out of
the tube. Earnest did not understand
this freak, and turned around and
started towards Green with the gun.
At the same instant Green started to
wards Earnest, but before they met
the gun went off, the load taking effect
in the right foot—striking on the inside
of the instep and ranging towards the
heel. Dr. O. M. Starr was called in,
who removed some eight or ten shot
and dressed the wound. Although
suffering great pain, the patient is do
ing well and it is hoped will soon be
up again.
It was our good fortune to attend
preaching at Bethel last Sunday. Rev.
R. II. Jackson preached one of his
interesting and practical sermons,
which terminated his pastoral connec
tion with the church for the present.
Rev. F. J. Amis will take charge of
the church next year.
I regret to learn from Bro. Jackson
that his son, Me .1, who has been sick
for so long a time, took an unfavorable
turn a few days ago and it is feared can
not live much longer. The family have
our sympathies in this sad affliction.
Miss Beachie Cushman, of Colum
bus, Ga., who has been chosen teacher
of the school at Midway for the ensu
ing year, is visiting her sister at Capt.
Stallings’, preparatory to entering up
on her duties in the school-room.
Dec. 14th. Vanpelt.
Panther Creek.
Mr. Editor:—I am “out of soap,”'
and hardly know what to say this
week.
The people are beginning to fix up
for Christmas. There is to be a Christ
mas tree at Macedonia, and everybody
is requested to have their presents at
the church by 9 A. M., on Christmas
Eve. A special police force will be
appointed by the magistrates of the
district to insure the preservation of
order. The popping of firecrackers and
the shooting of firearms will not be al
lowed, as the samp would frighten
horses, and might cause some serious
accidents. All intoxicated persons will
be arrested. Smoking or spitting in
the church will not be tolerated. -I
hope the poor will be remembered, and
that my feeble self and appetite will
be thought of—not only at Macedonia,
but wherever Christmas trees grow.
Major J. S. Moore, of Cedar (.’reek
district, had his hand badly lacerated
in Sion Condor’s gin last Saturday.
Dr. Barrett preached a very interest
ing sermon at Macedonia last Sabbath.
For la<?k of wine, the communion ser
vice appointed for that day was de
ferred until the January meeting.
The Farmers’ Alliance Club at the
farmers’ academy, in this district, is in
a prosperous and flourishing condition.
Some of the best men of the district
belong to it, among whom are Rev.
C. W. Carter, W. S. Copeland, S. G.
Allen, J. M. Boon, J. B. and C. H.
Newton, the Hyde brothers, E. S.
Daniel, T. F. Jones, G. H. Sanders, J.
C. Sewell, W. T. Dyer, IV. A. Allen,
and others whose names are not now
remembered. The club, 1 learn, num
bers about sixty members.
There is a power of moving around
and changing of homes among tenants.
Poor folks have a hard time in this
world.
Since the publication of the Con
gressional “ripple” the old ladies of
the community have been tiling re
quests for collard seeds, and the young
ladies are equally importunate in their
demands for flower seeds.
Prof. J. B. Allen lias been invited to
make an address at the Christmas tree
at Macedonia.
The colored co-operative store at
Jones’ Hill sells about 840 worth of
goods each week. For the amount in
vested 8100) this a good business.
If able 1 would certainly take stock
in the Newnan Cotton Factory, for it
will be one of the best enterprises
ever started in Coweta county. I say
let us have it. RirPLES.
Dec. 13th.
Sharpsburgr.
Mr. Editor:—Mrs. J. J. North ha'*
been confined several days with an at
tack of erysipelas.
Prof. A. S. Jones, of your city, ha"
been here the past week looking after
his business.
The Coweta Co-operative Store ha--
received the largest stock of goods ever
brought to Sharpsburg.
Mrs. Sallie Harden, of Alabama, L~
visiting her brother, Mr. J. J. Fanner.
Mrs. W. Willis, who formerly re
sided near Sharpsburg, has moved to
Alabama.
Mr. Renger Johnson, who has been
living at Kedron, has moved back to
Sharpsburg.
The sociable at the home of Mr. L.
L. North last night was numerously at
tended by our young people. The
Sharpsburg brass band furnished musir
for the occasion.
Rev. R. C. Rhodes filled his appoint
ment at Ebenezer last Sunday. He
will serve that church again next year.
Misses Cleo Camp and Odessa
Jones, who have been visiting here,
returned to their home in Jonesboro
last Sunday.
Miss Sallie Dodds, of Rocky Mount,
is spending the week with her sister;
Mrs. Jud Harris.
Col. Luther Farmer, of your citj.
was here on business last Monday.
Your Turin correspondent stated
last week that there were ten widows
in Sharpsburg. This is a mistake.
There are twelve, at this writing; bur
unless certain nice widowers discon
tinue their visits we are apprehensive
that the number will soon be reduced.
Mr. J. Rice, of Atlanta, paitl Mr.
Henry North a visit last week.
Mrs. A. Lumpkin spent last Sunday
in your city. B. C.
Dec. 14th.
Meriwether Court.
Judge J. M. Smith, of the Chatta
hoochee circuit, is presiding over Meri
wether Superior Court, and is appa
rently at home on the bench.
Judge Whitaker of LaGrange, J. F.
Methvin of Senoi.i, H. M. Reid of Car
rollton, W. A."Post, of Grantville, and
W. Y. Atkinson Newnan, are in at
tendance.
The criminal docket is to be taken
up on Friday and all cases thereon
tried if possible. The idea is prevalent
that this docket will consume the en
tire week. There are two or more mur
der cases to be tried, which will take a
long while. Gov. Smith has agreed to
hold Court next week; but if, per
chance, he should not do so, Judge
Harris will, as he lias declared to the
writer that “the Court shall be held.”
The friends of Judge Harris—and
they are legion—will be much gratified
to know that “King Richard is himself
again.” The writer, in company with
Col. W. A. Post, tliok tea with the
Judge on Monday evening last and
spent a most pleasant time at his hos
pitable fireside. “May he live long unu
brosber.”
Last Monday night, at Carrollton.
I had to endure a sore affliction, in
that my room-mate, without a mo
ment's warning, was transformed from
a quiet, sleeping lawyer into one of
those demoniacal, abominable and ev
er-to-be-dreaded snorers. He reminded
me forcibly of one of the characters de
scribed by Miss B. McCombs Wood in
one of her recitations. From one end
of the keyboard to the other it ran—
from the deepest bass to the Jiighes-
note in the gamut—frorp a clear, round,
full tone to a choking, dying, gasping,
jerking, smothering, horrible, pitiable.
fare-ye-well-vain-world-I’m-going-hom
agonizing groan. Great Caesar !—it;-
seemed an interminable roar of gather
ing storms, find there 1 lay quivering,
trembling, nervous, wrathy—but all t"
no purpose, for this nasal artist was a
bigger man than myself and I dared
not interrupt the performance. It wa.-
a specimen of sheet music the like o
which I had.never heard before, and
hope never to hear again. I’ll not for
get my bedfellow at Carrollton while
post-oak and hickory grow.
Mr. Parham, of Meriwether county,
and Miss Nannie Swanson, of Hogans-
ville, were married December 14th, ai
the home of the bride’s paients.
Mr. Pomp Barnett, of Cowet;:
county, and Miss Mary Strozier, of
Greenville, were married on Wednes
day afternoon last, af the residence of
the bride’s parents, Col. and Mrs. John
L. Strozier. May their pathway througl
life be strewn with roses. Arden.
