"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.

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. i I ; Greenville Street. J. T. SWINT & CO. 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. Dec. 14th. * R. A. T. 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. Greenville, Dec. 14th. Always at the Front. Dr. J. T.
