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. you HARDAWAY & HUNTER. THE PLACE TO GET THE MOST GOODS FOR THE LEAST MONEY IS AT 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 . produced from 119,881 acres, valued at j for Style Or SefectneSS. $1,900,588, products to the value $1,105,-] ' ATUT TSTr^* 5S2. while it required 153,561 acres of j GJ—1 rLli'l kJ.
