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
auctiou” 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 it* 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.

Returning Capt. Tom Jones’ Nickels -
A Pleasant Occasion.
In April, Capt. T. M. Jones, the lib
eral-hearted friend and mAnber of the
Presbyterian church, introduced a nov
el feature in the Sunday-school, by giv
ing each officer, teacher and scholar a
nickel as a nucleus for investment dur
ing the remainder of the year—the pro
ceeds to be used by the school in what
ever manner-it shonld be deemed best.
He gave the children a sensible talk,
full of good advice—giving for his first
reason, the good the money thus accu
mulated would do the cause intended;
secondly—it would' aid in developing
business traits, in which they must be
strictly-honest, upright aud honorable
in every particular. During the Christ
mas holiday's he proposed there should
be a gathering of the school, at which
time they were to report their steward
ship,the amounts accumulated,together
with the manner of investment. Where
there had been no increase, the original
sum was to be returned to the donor.
The plan was happily proposed and
cordially received, the children being
enthused over the idea of the large sums
they would make from sales of pop
corn, goobers, chickens, and anything
“in their line”—whilst older ones were
puzzling their heads how to make “a
start” from so small a sum;—and if one
will think for a moment it will be
quite a study to know how to invest
to keep from overstocking the market
with trades that would come in the
line of nickel sales.
On the last Sabbath in this month
our superintendent, Mr. Fell, called a
meeting of the school at the church for
the following Tuesday night. For
days the. weather had been cold, rainy
and disagreeable; but on this night, 8#
if in accord with the bright, happy faces
of the children, the clouds rolled away,
warm breezes filled the air, moonlight
graced the scene—nature seeming to
add her smiles and good wishes to this
merry Christmas day to which many
of the Kttle ones had looked forward
as the crowning event of the first busi
ness effort of their lives.
Older, ones caught the glow in the re
flection from their radiaut faces; their
cares.were forgotten; memory turned
back to their youthful days, when the
Christmas chimes pealed forth only as
responsive echoes, to the fullness of the
joy and gladness in their hearts In the
assemblage wefe found friends -of oth
er denominations, who had watched
the plan with interest—perhaps doubt-
ingly—during the eight -months of its
existence.
The exfercises were opened with pray
er by Rev. W. 11. Foote, asking God’s
blessing upon our school and its work.
Songs were also sung. Dr. Stacy was
called to.the chair, with two assistants
as secretaries. The several amounts
were placed in an envelope, upon
which the name, sum, and manner of
making was written and handed in, in
answer to the call of the roll.
One hundred nickels were given put
in April, In December, eighty-eight
responded, the remainder being absent,
consequent upon the holidays, but will
undoubtedly be heard from. The sums
returned varied from fifteen cents to
thirty dollars. It would take too long
to enumerate how this was made; but I
two little boys, five and seven years j
of age, respectively, were held up be
fore the audience to give in “their ex- ■
perience.” One said: “I had a nickel,!
and bought some greens and sold them; j
bought some more greens and sold j
them; bought some candy, chewing
gum,etc.,until I made five dollars. ’’The
otlrer little fellow, almost too timid to
speak, said: “I made mine selling
flowers—$4.05.”
A lessen to others. Surely, wisdom
cometh from the mouth of babes.
It would be amusing to know the
devices the older one resorted to, who
wished to preserve their dignity, and
still keep up with children in this race.
It was “nip and tuck” sure enough.
Soap, figs, yeast' cakes, fans, flowers,
crocheting, knitting, and anything else
that was allowable to expedite the
movements of their stiffened bones in
this “John Gilpin race" with the chil
dren in their good work.
The summing up of the amounts
found the iucrease from the five dol
lars to be $176.85—a per centum that
financiers say is remarkable.
A vote was then taken as to what
disposition should be made of this
amount. It was decided to place it in
the keeping of the donor; that a
portion of it be used for book* for
the Sunday-school Library — the re
mainder as a nucleus for a fund to
place stained glass windows iu our
church—a memorial of the thoughtful
generosity of Capt. Jones, and of
the thrift and preservanco of the chil
dren.
It will be pleasant for them in after
years to remember that their work is
blended in the beautiful shades that
imitate the royal bow that sometimes
spans the arch of heaven as a memori
al of His loving promise. Tender
thoughts will ayse, ■ and sweet memo
ries will cluster around this, their
home—the church of their childhood.

Mr. Editor:—This is the season of
the year, ef all others, that renders me
most sad; and were it absolutely neces
sary, I could assign many good reason*
—but sufficeth it to say that ao tarkey joke oathe- horset, but Mr. Dopegsn’*
gobbleth in my back-yard, and my hen
coop is like unto the sailor’s bottle:
“O. I. C. U. R. M. T.” And woe i*
me ! And yet I have one consolation,
and that is that no unseemly merriment
is had around my table over the dead
carcass of a once animate fowl. Bat
my boys have a goat, and I think I *aa
buy ’em out for a dollar and that will
last longer than an old turkey anyhow.
There is a squeeze in the land, whieh
walketh forth at noonday and dewncth
the bright anticipations of “better days
a-coming,” so fondly hoped for, and
yet which appeareth not.
If thy neighbor offend the# five
his son a tin horn, and grent
shall be thy revenge in the dny
of liis tribulation and wrath.
(If some wicked fellow should try thie
on me I’d take my hat in hand and
strike a bee-line fot Milledgeville. I’ve
got five boys, yon see.)
A Christmas tree Has been voted hy
the children of the Methodist Sabbath-
school, and the old folks must furnish
the music and a bountiful supply ef •#
ceteras. Let everybody go w|o can
furnish the latter—I «an ’t, My chil
dren say they had rather not go, fer the
other children get so much nicer f res
ents than they do; that old Santa
Claus seems to have favorites. Th*y
are sensible children, and I intend that
they shall visit “grandma,” and forget
their miseries chasing butterflies, (fig
uratively speaking.)

Editor John T. Graves met Editor
Alva C. Lowrey in Rome yesterday af
ternoon, and there was n short pugilis
tic practice. Editor Graves scored on#
on the first reund, and the sece*4was
called n draw.
Editor Lowrey weighs about 200
pounds, and has a muscle which he got
in the wild West. Editor Graves
Weigh* about 120 pounds, and walks
like a game cock.
Last Friday an editorial appeared in
the Tribune if /feme under tne heading
"The Evening Paper No More.”
In this article Editor Graves an
nounced the suspension of the publi
cation of the Bulletin.
Yesterday afternoon Editor Graves
and Business Manager Brooks, of
the Tribune, were standing in front
of Parks’ dry goods store. Some
words passed * between the twe ed-
itom, and Lowrey struck at
dirave*, whe dodged the blow and.
struck Lewrey *n the head with bis *m-
brella.
Lowrey again struek at Grave# and
the latter again dodged the blow. At
thie stage of the combat friends of the
parties separate d them.
Neither ene wae hart.
Puckett Station.
Mr. Editor:—Messrs. Reuben Evans
and Elijah Smith, of Alabama, have
been visiting the family of Mr. Calla
way Webb.
Misses Lou and Berta Camp and Miss
Minnie Moore have returned to school
in LaGrange.
Dr. Bartow Webb, from Atlanta,
spent-this week at home. His class
mate, Dr. Brown, accompanied, him.
Misses Loudie O’Kelly and Orrie
Murphy, from Gcantville, have been
visiting friends and relatives here.
Mr. John M. Cetton has gone to visit
relatives near Alexander, Ala.
Mr. Scbtt' Davis, from near Ilogans-
ville, visited . Mr. B.. M. Couch this 1 ,
week.
Sometime &nce we stated that “Judge
Bigham. of LaGrange, came up to or
ganize^ Masonic Lodge here.” The
Lodge was honored by the Judge’s
presence, but Mr. John H. Williams,
of Luthersville, organized the Lodge,
and so deserves the honor. I am sorry
the mistake was made, but it was on
account of being misinformed.
Last Sunday was a day of a very
pleasant exercise to those who attended
the Sunday-school. Mr. H. W. Camp
having been Sunday-school Superin
tendent for a number of years, has re
tired and Mr. F. S. Cureten been ap
pointed in his stead. Mr. Camp made
the meeting very interesting, indeed,
by his words of appr^ation for the
success which the school has attained
in the past and hoping for its continued
prosperity in the future. He dismissed
the school very feelingly, and announc
ed that Mr.Cmreton would appear next
Sabbath as Superintendent and re-or-
gaaixe. Let’s aH work for the Sunday-
school and attend regularly.
The new year is approaching with its
joys and sorrows, successes and misfor
tune*. Let us make good resolutions
fer the coming year, and improve on
mistakes made in the pest.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT. J
Special to .V m ;>• <. I'unon, Inst,
Rows, Go., December 26.—Exaggera
ted reports having gone out concerning
the difficulty between John Temple
Grave# and Alva C.Lowrev, a frienc of
Mr. Graves furnishes the following
story:
Mj. Graves, who is editor of the
Tribune, editorially noticed the fact
that Lowrev’s paper, ‘be Bulletin, had
gone the way of all flesh and waste pa- -
per. Lowr-y took occasion to writ a
card in a weekly paper, couched in hie
usual style, against Graves.
The next day as Graves was passing
the Bulletin office, he h»w Lowrey
standing on the stops. He advanced
toward him, and said:
“Lowrey. I do not intend to notice
in my paper your scurrilous article in
the ('Upper, bnt I wish to say to you
personally, and face to face, that I re
gard yon ns a coward, a scoundrel and
a liar.”
Lowry made some indefinite reply,
when dnraves interrupted him, saying:
“I woc’4 hear one word from vou,
*ir.”
Lowrey answered:
“I’ll say what I please.”
Graves then struck Lowrey with his
umbrella. . Lowrey was standing twe
steps above Graves with his knife in his
hand, and on receiving the blow he
struck at Graves but failed to reach
him. Graves then broke his umbrella-
to splinters over Lowrey’s head. The.
crowd then rushed up and kept the
combatants apart. Graves said to
Lowrey on parting:
“I am ready to renew this in any way,
shape or form that you may desire.”
To this Lowrey made no reply.
Wide Awake.
Christmas Wide Awake is made up
of thirty-five poems, stories, sketches,
papers of all sorts, long and short, and
fifty-seven pictures. Both writers and
■artists are such as stand for timely help
along the highway of life with good
cheef in the bargain. If such an amount
of such work of pen aud pencil was
made into Christmas books, they would
cost as many dollars as cents in Wide.
Think of it, 5>20-worth of the stuff
that Christmas books are made of for
twenty cents ! Besides there is apart
not reckoned,hut which is full of inter
est, thirty-two pages of pictures of
Christmas things to be got for a little
work. There is. many a boy and girl
who will find in those thirty-two pages
not only Christmas delight but hints
toward wider fortune.
By all means have the Christmas
Wide A wake. If your bookseller hasn’t
got it send to the publishers, D. Loth-
rop Company, Boston.
. Dr. W. R. King, Specialist.
If you have not read in the back
numbers of The Herald and Adver
tiser the advertisement of the great
specialist, Dr. King, (who is still in La
Grange, Ga.,) curing chronic diseases,
you had best do so aud avail yourself
of the opportunity to lie cured beyond
a doubt. Write to the Doctor at once
for terms.
