DEALERS IN DRY GOODS, NOTIONS, HATS, CONFECTIONERIES, TOBACCO, CIGARS, ETC. 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 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 t heir goods, and from his store Go home with happy faces. He wages war on prices high. TTis banner’s now unfurled— With mammoth stock and prices low He sure can beat the world. Smote. 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. Dec. 21st. room recently built by Dr. L. 9. Young. Mr. J. E. Thornton, from Carrollton, has a flourishing writing school, num bering about twenty-five pupils. Mr. Thornton is well up to his business, and his students are delighted with the im provement they have already made. Christmas is at hand, and the little folks are happy over the thought of Santa Claus coming to see them. Mrs. II. W. Camp, who has been very ill, is slowly recovering. Zubetus. Dec. 21st. ; Remember the place—No. i } Greenville Street. oret it. J. T. SWINT & CO. :) Puckett Station. 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. Dec. 20tli. 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 in your city on business last week. Dee. 20tln B. C. Panther Creak. 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. Dec. 20th. Ripples. LIST OP JOTtOBS Drawn for the September Term, 1887, of Coweta Superior Court.
