Is This a Poor Country?
CHAPTER I.
AA’hoever curses his country and re
mains therein, lacks one essential to
good citizenship.
IIow often do we hear the half-slan
derous expression—“This country is
too poor to make a living in.” AVe must
admit that the average soil of Coweta
is pot so fertile as the valley of the
Mississippi; nor is it so subject to flood,
or the health-stealing malaria. AVe are
also aware that Illinois can grow more
corn to the acre, and Ka isas more
wheat; yet, when it comes to producing
more money per acre none of these fer
tile regions can make a better showing
than Coweta county, or any other
county in Middle Georgia. .
We give to the readers of The Her
ald and Advertiser a comparison
of Coweta county 7 , Ga., and Jackson
county, Illinois, which figures are taken
from the census report of 1880, and
based on the crop of 1S79.
In 1880 Coweta’s population was 21,-
109, that of Jackson county, Ill., was
22,505. Coweta had 1,998 farms, con
taining 119,881 acres of improved [or
cultivated land,) while Jackson counted
2,470 farms of 153,501 acres. Coweta’s
lands were estimated at $1,900,5SS, and
Jackson returned her lands at $4,040,-
247, (more than double.) Coweta re
ported 994 horses and 2,182 mules; or
total horses and mules, 3,170;—while
Jackson reported 5,005 horses and 2,084
mules, making rhe total horses and
mules, 7,089. The value of all live
stock in Coweta was $323,052, and the
A LARGE STOCK IN,
AND
NEW GOODS ARRIVING CONSTANTLY!
PRICES LOW, AND GOING LOWER!
The best time to buy goods is Avhen you have an opportuni
ty to get them cheap, and the only safe assurance that you
are getting them cheap is Avhen you buy from those who deal
exclusively Avith manufacturers. We deal only Avith the lar
gest manufacturers, importers and jobbers, and possess ad
vantages that can only be appreciated by those Avho take the
trouble to compare our prices Avith the prices charged by oth
er dealers. We say this in no spirit of boastfulness, but sim
ply to let the people know that we have firms in Newnan
that enjoy precisely the same facilities for buying that the
Atlanta merchants do, and the fact that our expenses are
from twenty to thirty per cent, less is too apparent to require
mention here.
In addition to a heavy line of GROCERIES, \\ r e have
now in store a choice stock of DRY GOODS, CLOTH
ING, BOOTS, SHOES, etc., including everything kept in a
strictly first-class establishment. Our “Bay State Shoe” con
tinues to lead the town, in style, finish and general superiori
ty. Our stock of Clothing is complete and handsome, and
comprises all the late styles, figures and shades.
In fact, Ave have everything, and are determined not to be
undersold. Suppose you come and see for yourselves. We
should be glad to have you call around anyway, even if
do not Avish to buy. Seats free; no charge for looking.

THE PLACE TO GET THE MOST GOODS

J. R. HERRING’S!
Eng-
I lay down the broad proposition that I can sell, and am
actually selling, goods cheaper than any house in town, and
am prepared to sustain this proposition with irrefragable proof,
value of such stock in Jackson was Qp serve the following, as a Starter—
$568,29. The value of farm products
in Coweta aggregated $1,175,000, while
the aggregate for Jackson was $1,238,-
412. Coweta expended for fertilizers
$69,418, and Jackson $1,521.
AA’e will now deduct the cost of ler-
tilizers from the value of farm products
and get a true comparison: Coweta .
