Something that Attracts
The wise housekeeper must be some
thing more than "cheapness." We
could sell you
GROCERIES
at lower prices than our present figure,
but they would be "cheap” goods, and
the chances are that you would not
like them.
Better to buy these goods, because
they are of sterling quality, have finer
flavor and contain double the nourish
ment of the iower-priced articles.

You have seen firemen
filling up engines with coal.
. The coal is consumed and
runs the engine. The ashes
are worthless and are thrown
out. Your body is an engine.
Constipation is clogging it
up ; your skin is sallow ; you
have foul breath and pains
in the back.
| Holt’s Little
\\ Liver Pills
will cure you. Sift out the
ashes---nature will do the
rest. Holt's Little Liver Pills
are sold only in 10c. and
* 25c. boxes. Mailed to any
address on receipt of price.

The case of the State vs. James
Evans and Arthur Jones, on trial in
Meriwether Superior Court last week,
attracted a good deal of interest.
They were charged with the mnrder
of an old negro named Amos Bivins,
whose body was found in White .Oak
creek, near Haralson, two or three
days after his disappearance with a
rope tied around his neck. The crime
was committed about a year ago, and
Evans and Jones have been confined
in jail at Greenville since their arrest
last fall. The evidence against them
was considered very damaging, but
the jury did not appear - to think so,
as a verdict of acquittal was returned.
The prisoners were represented by
Col. J. W. Shell of Seuoia, and Judge
W. R. Jones of Greenville. Evans and
Jones reside in Coweta, but the crime
for which they were tried was com
mitted just over the line in Meri
