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
at ive 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:
Good Double-soled Brogan
Shoes, 90 c. per pair.
Women’s Pegged Balmoral
Shoes, 90 c. per pair.
Solid Leather Brogans, the
best made, $1 25.
Ladies’ Button Shoes, solid
leather, $1 25.
All-wool Jeans, 35c. per yard.
Hats from 25c to $2 75.
Uncanvassed Ham, 14c per
pound.
Flour, from $4 to $5 50 per
barrel.
We are still selling 12 lbs.
Granulated Sugar for $'1.
The biggest line of Fancy
Candies in town, from 2540 35
cents per pound.
Half a car-load of Christmas
Toys, cheaper than ever before
sold in Newnan.
500 Dolls, which we will al
most give away.
Remember that we are head
quarters for Christmas Goods,
and will not be undersold.
T. A. LANE
Has opened a nice, new and
select stock of FANCY and
FAMILY' GROCERIES in
the Brewster building, oppo
site the Robinson House, and
respectfully invites attention
to the same. He proposes to
carry none but first-class goods,
and will sell them as cheap as
they can be bought anywhere
in town. Favor him with your
patronage and you will not re-
From North and South, from East. and

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.

They buy t heir goods, and from his store
Go home with happy faces.

With mammoth stock and prices low

Mr. .Editor;—I am glad to be able to
•tate that, by the mercies of a kind
providence, a good physician and good
nursing, our sick boy, of whom mention
was made in my last, is now able to
work. I am also glad to say that the
little son of Mr. Shell, whose hand was
so badly cut, is doing well and will not
lose any of his fingers. Mr. Shell’s
eldest son, Frank, had the misfortune,
while cutting wood with the same axe,
to split his left foot open. He is now on
crutches. It is to he hoped the terrible
wound will not result in permanent in
jury.
Mr. J. B. Henslee has slaughtered
his hog and I give the actual weights:
Gross, 782 pounds; net 703 pounds.
These figures are obtained from Mr.
Henslee himself.
Col. J. W. Shell made a business trip
to Louisiana last Monclay was a week
ago and returned on Saturday, with his
bride, Miss Lula, a daughter of our
former citizen, Mr. B. Atkinson. Mrs.
Shell has been cordially welcomed by
her former friends and associates, with
many good wishes for her and her hus
band’s future happiness.
Rev. W. J. Cotter will leave us soon
to enter upon hit labors on the Troup
circuit, where he has been assigned.
Mr. Cotter has been with us four years
and by his kind, gentle, Christian min
istrations has greatly endeared himself
to our people. He has been in the
ministry forty-three years and has, no
doubt, in every place, filled his position
with credit to himself, to the satisfac
tion of the church, and to his Master,
as well. His successor, Rev. Mr.
Stipe, has not reached here yet, but is
preceded by very flattering commen
dations.
The Senoia High School and Excel
sior Academy - will open the first Mon
day in January, and the prospect for a
large patronage was never more flat
tering. Messrs. Gay and Phillips, ol
Fayette county, have secure: 1 homes
and are moving to town for the purpose
of sending their children to school.
Others are expected. It would be a
great help to Senoia if more of her cap
ital was invested in dwelling houses, as
the supply is inadequate to the . de
mand.
Neat ewniags hare been erected in
front of tho’’stores of J. M. Couch *
Co., W. H. Ferguson & Co., M. H.
Couch and J. T. Jon**.
The Baptist Sunday-school here ha*
decided to have a “Santa Claus house”
on Monday night after Christmas. Be
ing something unusual, the little folks
are looking forward to a very joyous
time.
Near 5,000 bales of cotton have been
shipped from this place up to date. The
receipts for the season will range be
tween six aid seven thousand hales.
The Senoia ginnery has ginned over
one thousand bales of cotton.
At this writing Mr. J. B. Heard, who
has been a great sufferer, is very low,
and it i3 feared cannot survive much
longer.
To the editor, fellow-contr’butors
and many readers of The Herald
axd Advertiser, wo wish a merry
Christmas. Vincent.

Mr. J. E. Thornton, from Carrollton,

Mr. Editor:—Miss Furlow Wads
worth, who has been visiting one of
our most accomplished young ladies,
Miss Glenn Camp, has returned to her
home in Birmingham. Like a furlough
(Furlow) of twenty days, we knew not
how to appreciate it until ’twas gone.
Misses Berta and Lou Camp, from
the LaGrange Female College, have
come home to spend Christmas.
Mr. Jimmie Gilbert is suffering from
a protracted spell of fever, but under
the careful treatment of Dr. J. M.
Couch is.rapidly improving.
We regret to learn that Mr. Arthur
P. Camp is going to leave us. He will
move to his farm in Meriwether county.
Mr. Charles P. Dukes, of Palmetto,
visited his daughter, Mrs. Sallie May-
field. recently.
Mrs. Will Davis, from Turin, has
been visiting Mr. L. B. Carmical.
Mr. Jas. Cureton has taken a situa
tion with the R. D. Cole Manufacturing
Company, with the intention of mak
ing a machinist of himself. We miss
you, Jim, but “stand the racket” and
the victory will he yours in course of
time.
Dr. T. N. Bingham is at home from
Atlanta, spending the holidays.
Mrs. J. P. Cates, who has been very
sick, is slowly- improving.
Miss Neta Bingham, who went to
Macon some time ago on a visit to rela
tives, has returned, to the delight of
some of our boys.
Miss Lena Vollenweider is visiting
in Senoia, and will probably* -pend the
holidays there.
Miss Viola Benton has returned from
a pleasant visit to relatives in Beulah,
Ala.
Messrs. McClure it Mayfield have a
nice little stock of goods in (he store
Turin.
Mr. Editor:—Mr. S. L. Whatley
boarded the train at this place on Mon
day last for Fort Valley, whither he
goes to attend the meeting of the State
Alliance, composed of the representa
tives of the different County Alliances
of the State. Mr. Whatley is wide
awake to the interests of the farmers,
and they may well confide in his abili
ty and purpose to do all in his power to
advance their interests. We shall look
with some anxiety for an account of
his participation in the proceedings of
that distinguished body.
Mr. Glenn Scroggin has decided to
move, to Newnan, and has rented his
resilience in this place to Mr. W. W,
Camp, who will in a short time move
his family here. We sincerely regret
to part with Mr. Scroggin and hisinter-
esting family, but rejoice that Newnan
is to receive such a valuable accession to
her citizenship and society. With the
coming of . Mr. Camp and family,
however, and that of Mr. Wilbur Jones
and family, of Fayette county, we shall
feel compensated in some degree for
the loss of Mr. Scroggin.
No town in this section of the State
offers better facilities for education
than Turin now can. Just think of it !
—a year’s tuition costing only five dol
lars ! -and with the best teachers to be
found anywhere for instructors! W h-
could ask better advantages? No one,
certainly. Our citizens are determin-.
ed to build up a first-class seliool anil
maintain it as a permanency.
Rev. W. C. Fox is expected to preach
at this place on Sabbath morning next.
Go and hear him, for he is said to he a
good preacher and a rising man in the
Conference.
A few days ago while Judge Carmical
was holding his Court in solemn form,
some wayward youth forgot himself
and hurled a shower of shot against
the Judge’s room —almost causing the
Court to forget which was plaintiff and
which defendant. A repetition of the
offense may provoke the Court to ad
minister a reprimand—so, young man,
beware !
Sheriff Carmical gave his Turin
friends a call last week.
Wishing The Herald and Adver
tiser readers a pleasant Christmas, I
bill them adieu for the year 1S87; but
hope to send forth greetings in the fu
ture, as I have done for some years
past. R. A. T.

Sharpsburg:.
Mr. Editor:— Rev. E. Culpepper filled
his closing appointment here last Sat
urday and Sunday. He has . erved the
church at this place for two years, and
during that time has not missed an ap
pointment. There have been ten ac
cessions to the membership the pres
ent year, and the church has prospered
greatly in many ways. Bro. Culpep
per is a man of deep piety, a faithful
expounder of the gospel and a model
Christian gentleman. May he prosper
wherever lie goes.
The church will meet next Saturday
to call a pastor for another year. They
have just put a new roof on tke church.
The colored Baptist church has been
completed. .
Your Turin correspondent stated
la*t week that Mr. Will Cannon had
moved up near Turin from near Bing
ham’s mill. I rather think he has
moved nearer to Sharpsburg than Tu
rin.
Mr. M. II. Norris, who has been
studying law at Greenville, was ad
mitted to the bar last week. Ile will
establish an office i* Greenville. His
Sharpsburg friends wish him the great
est success.
The Sharpsburg Sunday-school will
have a Christmas tree on Thursday
night next, 29th inst. Those desiring to
remember their friends with presents
are requested to send them in Thurs
day afternoon to Messrs. Tom North,
R. A. Farmer. Eddie Pitman, Mrs.
L. Z. Johnson, Mrs. Lizzie Sharp,
and Miss Emma Fanner, the commit
tee of arrangements.
Mrs. J. J. North is better this week.
K -v. J. D. Norris has been called
unanimously to serve as pastor of
County-Line Baptist church, in Troup
county.
The mumps are raging in our village.
Mrs. Em Cole is able to walk
about with the aid of crutches. W«
are glad to see her up again.
Mr. Paul Pitman spent a few days

Mr. Editor:—In presenting this mj
valedictory letter for the year to the
readers of The Herald and Adver
tiser, I feel it deep sense of n:y un
worthiness and frailty—living only by
the minute, and by the permission of a
forgiving Saviour, whose mercies I
have enjoyed for sixty years, hut for
how much longer I cannot tell. I have
stood around the deathbed of several
friends this year. Next year perhaps
friends will he called upon to stand
around mine. I have been called upon
to write of this and of that friend's
demise; and when I look over the death-
roll I sorrowfully ask—“Where are the
dead?” The solemn respdhee comes—
“Gone, forever gone!” Their bodies
returned to dust—their soul* to God
who gave them. Iam made td think—
••Th*‘ time is swl'i.ly rolling on
When I mint faint nnd die;
My body to tlie dust return.
And there forgotten lie.”
Next year will have three figure 8’8,
ami is will be a thousand years before
’SSS occur again, and so on. None of us
who are alive now will live to see the
second 888.
In my writings during the year now
drawing to a close, if I have said aught
that could wound the feelings of any
one it has been unintentional—more an
error of the head than of the heart.
We are all fallible creatures, aud all
subject to occasional foulness of tongue.
The Scriptures ."iy when the tongue is
foul no man can tame it, and that is
true. The doctors say the tongue is an
index to the stomach—and they might
add, to th% heart also. But it is not
always true, for sometime* • the brakes
on our tongues don’t work well. The
throttle gets too wide and words slip
out that ought not. One little word
can arouse all the animosity in a fellow
and set the world on fire. So, if any of
you. dear readers, have said hn v d things
about your neighbors, don’t let his
wrath go down on your head.
Hoping we may all live better next
vear than we have this, I bid you fare
well for the present,
Mrs. Willingham, a pauper, died at
the county poor farm Inst Friil i’ ni r ht.
The remains were interred at Liberty
cemetery on Saturday. She leaves two
little hoys.
Panther Creek can boast the sweetest
writer in the county. I delight very
much in reading “L. L.’s” letters.
A happy Christmas to everybody.
