NEWNAN, FRIDAY, MAR.
MY LOVE.
Like raln-poolB over autumn loavcH.
My swH Love’s eyes to me;
Like xunllfrlit over Kolden ahoavpa,
Her wind-blown troHHi'H fric-;
Like snow upon the mountain's face.
The whllnneHK of her throat;
Her movements the languorous grace
Of lilies all afloat.
Her voice is sweet ns silver bells
O'er sheets of moonlit snow;
Her mouth, a full ripe llow'r. where dwells
The sunset's vermeil glow;
Her soul is tender as blue skies,
A Southern day, above;
While in her heart all priceless lies
The diamond of her love.

We all know ex-I’reBident Roose-
velt is a very strenuous individual ;
that during his term of seven and
three-fourths years he.did a few repre
hensible things, from a Southerner’s
viewpoint; but, upon the whole, he did
much that was more worthy of our
commendation than of our condemna
tion. If he had done nothing hut dis
charge those negro assassins who dis
graced the national uniform by “shoot
ing up the town of Hrownsvillo,” and
murdering inoffensive citizens, this act
alone would compensate for taking a
snack with his saddle-colored friend,
B. 'I'. W. But, aside from creating the
republic of Panama for State reasons,
the biggest thing he did, and the one
that deserves the earnest commenda
tion of the people of the South, was
having the name of Jefferson Davis re
stored to the*.tablet on “Cabin John
Bridge,” which was chiseled therefrom
in lkii2 b.v the malevolent hands of Si
mon Cameron et al.
Mr. John M. Jackson has been con
fined to his room for a week by indis
position.
That rollicking pair of Carrollton
colts, George West and Billy Mande-
ville, attended Taft’s inauguration, and
may make a tour of the country before
returning to Carrollton and her prohi
bition ways.
-Mrs. L. M. Turner entertained the
Lit Mu Club Tuesday. The ladies were
out in force.
Miss Mollie Ward spent Saturday
and Sunday in Atlanta, where she was
joined by her son, Charles, who is a se
nior at Emory College.
The City Court has been in session
this week, giving its time to the crim
inal docket.
Hon. L. C. Mandeville left a week
or ten days ago to meet the incoming
and returning expeditionary fleet of
Uncle Sum’s grim sea going batteries,
which has completed a circumnaviga
tion of “the footstool of Omnipo
tence,’’ and with which his son, Apple-
ton, served as a midhipman. Father
and son are now in New York, the
former looking after business inter
ests, and the latter regaling himself on
the immunities presented by a lengthy
shore leave.
—The A. &. M. School is making
preparations to do some dress parade
farming tins year, it is pleasing to
note that those big-hearted gentlemen,
Messrs. C. 11. Stewart and L. C. Man
deville, have equipped the electrical
building with a new electrical outfit.
Such men are prime specimens of the
“salt of the earth.’’
Pardon me, gentle readers and ye
ill-used nnti-prohis, and all suffering
humanity who may be afflicted with
this reading, which is an ode dedicated
to that quintessence of nectar, the
“peachblow. ” It is not exactly poe
try. nor yet blank verse, but is almost
blank of rhyme or reason. It is a
study. When you have gotten the idea
intended to be conveyed, it will be
helpful to your mental training. Don’t
forget 1 said "when” you got the
“idea.” You’ll observe that the “up
per case” became exhausted in my gar
ret, and l run the measures solid, with
out breaking them up into lines of eight
or ten syllables. You’ll find the rhymes
near each mile-post. Now listen: Oh,
tinge of red—best he could do, or would.
Ills genial rays cling thy form about,
and thou for his Hweet breath thy pret-
12. | ty nose stuck out from thy winter
=, wraps. February short-lived, snarl
ing and ill, with crops of frost, ice and
' snow gave thy sweet nose a chill.
Hearken not. sweet Bud, to the winds
of March, lest his blizzard-brew of ice
and frost thy form may parch. Wear
thy warmest wrapH in April through,
my Peach and Honey, that thy luscious
form may bask in summer sunny. Then
the best thou hast wilt come in handy
—oh, the pot-pies juicy, and the mel
low, seductive brandy! Selah.
After a two-weeks’ visit to Atlan
ta, Miss Vannie Phillips returned home
Monday.
— Messrs. Thomas and Robert .Jones,
of Whitesburg, were the guests of Car
rollton friends Sunday.
— Mr. Jas. G. Cheney, Carrollton’s
■siy puiH it to utter-1 electrical expert, was in Atlanta Wed
nesday looking after matters pertain
ing to his plant.
After remaining several days with
homefolks, Miss Jean Archer returned
to her college studies Sunday.
—Messrs. L. K. Smith and E. M.
Bass, a couple of Gainsboro Telephone
Co. officials, were in Atlanta Friday
looking after matters pertaining to the
company’s interests.
—Mr. E. W. Crawford is confined to
his bed with measles, which he finds
furnishes the same yellow flannel taste
as that of earlier crops.
—Messrs. C. 11. Stewart and .1. T.
Bradley were in Atlanta Monday nego
tiating for a couple of the latest model
automobiles. Money is a secondary con
sideration in the purchasethey must
be distance annihilators, and beautiful
beyond comparison.
-Can you unravel an enigma? If
you think so, here is one for your mind
and digits: Thinking Horace Greeley’s
advice to youngsters the proper condi-
Ala. His intentions being honorable,
neither lie nor I have a desire to keep
his name in the perspective of conjec
ture—it is the antithesis of Short. On
arrival he assumed the duties of boss
money-changer for the city’s only
bank. The job was agreeable and the
compensation satisfactory; but we
know money isn’t everything. He has
learned the sad lesson that fondling
gold dollars doesn’t supply the face
and place of a maiden he had left be
hind. His heart yearned to come East,
for, paradoxical as it may seem, he re
turned East to see the radiant West.
He left Cordova Saturday, and spent
two days contemplating the glowing
charms of the West. He returned
Tuesday to the duties of shoveling out
coin to his customers.
—Lagrippe has been prevalent among
our denizens to a greater or less ex
tent for the past month. The latest to
suffer from his nerve-racking grasp is
Miss Olive Bradley, who has been eon-
lined to her room for a week.
—Ray Coleman, of Atlanta, visited
homefolks Tuesday.
As Sunday guests Miss Pearl
Campbell entertained her Bremen
friends, Miss 1’osie Adamson and Mr.
Duffie Walker.
—The lexicographer must get busy.
An inventive genius of this village has
put an ambulator before the people
which will prove a lusty candidate for
public favor. A name for the vehicle
is what we seek—not as those who
“look for a needle in a haystack,” be
cause, out of the aggregated wisdom of
this community, we are going to find
it. it has been suggested that it be
called a “bullambulator.” C'est bien !
It is an especially good name, since it
is a strictly vis a tergo propelled bug
gy- the motive power being either
bull yearling or a bullock, who pushes
it by shafts attached to the rear. The
bull is hitched up with his head near
the rear axle; a stout harness, with
specially devised breeching, bolds up
the thills. So far as the bull is taken
into account, he is ready for business
when hitched in: but the inventor, who
| seems to desire to add perplexity to
; the minds of those who meet his bull-
1 ambulator, has an automobile head-
I gearing attached to the vehicle. Be-
I fore starting he gives the crank a yank

gait of a mile and a half an hour. It
is a most ingenious device, and is rec
ommended by the inventor and physi
cians as the proper exercise for valetu
dinarians and lovers in the first stage
of that madness. Bernard Bass, the
inventor, accompanied by his deft and
heart-bre8king ladies’ man chatfeur,
Hugh Lee Griffin, gave the machine its
trial trip in the recent fireman’s pa
rade. In a loosely-fitting robe, some
thing like a soldier’ dog tent, the knob
by contour of the taurian propeller was
invested, and bore this inscription:
“We push Jacobs’ cigars.” Mr. Bass
contemplates a tour of the State in his
bullambulator. He is slated for New-
nan on the 4th of July—this year of
grace.
—That excellent benevolent organi
zation, the Home Mission Society, met
Monday at the residence of Mrs. J. J.
Thornasson.
—Misses Mary and Helen Long spent
Saturday and Sunday with their Car

their studies at LaGrange Female Col

—Rev. C. W. Hood, of Winnsboro,
S. C.. is the guest of his brother, Col.
Leon Hood.
— Mrs. C. K. Henderson, of Newnan,
is the guest of her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. L. C. Mandeville.
— We regret lo note the illness of
Mrs. R. W. Adamson.
—Sailors will tell you about the
phantom ships that plow the yeasty
waves of old ocean “at the dead of
night;” but you don’t need the sailor-
man to tell of a white phantom that
cuts a slit in the air at sixty miles per
as she cavorts along the highway. The
man behind the “honk” is our well-
known fellow-citizen, Roy Mandeville,
who has the newest one out of the
shops. Some time when I become a
candidate for a pair of wings, a harp
and a nimbus, I’ll take a spin with him
in the “white phantom.”
—Pressing duties prevented my be
ing present at the inauguration of
Judge Taft on the 4th inst. Had I been
there doubtless my presence would
have added zest and eclat to the occa
sion. I might have been of some ser
vice to the Chief Justice in directing
him how to pour the anointing oil on
the glaberous spot near the crown of
the anointed one’s head, when he was
administering the oath of office and
conferring regal powers on his four-
year majesty. Since talking with
Judge Adamson, who is newly arrived
from that scene of marred civic splen
dor. I congratulate myself on having
had “other (ish to fry.” He described
the day as one most villainously order
ed—a blizzard not wider than a gin-
band, made by the Democratic clerk of
the weather to break up the Republican
coronation ceremonies. It was broken
up most effectually, said the Judge,
leaving 200,000 disgruntled and dis
gusted spectators in the lurch.
—We caleitrate when The Herald
and Advertiser fails to reach us Friday
nights, because it is like going to bed
without your supper, or failing to see
your wife after a month’s separation.
1 am now chewing the cud of disap
pointment. The Newnan mail was
opened and distributed to-night, and
the melodious voice of the postmaster
cried to the disappointed throng: “Nu
Herald and Advertiser to-night.” To
which announcement the disappointed
gang replied: “That’s sheol, and a
fine chance of it!”
—Since buying the interest of his
brother in their mercantile business,
Mr. A. J. Baskin has gone to New
York and other Eastern markets to
purchase a spring stock.
—Mesdanies Joe Chambers and A. D.
Turner spent Monday in Temple.
—The carnival “has came,” and it
“has went.” The high diver didn’t
dive, hut fell backwards into his v?.t;
but he gota da mon, allee samee. The
hooeheecoochee damsels were in virile
evidence. Bosco, the wild man from
Borneo, as usual ate his snakes alive
and wiggling. The trained fleas did
stunts that would have been creditable
to creatures of a higher order of intel
ligence. The flying jenny performed
to the single dulcet tune of “San An
tonio.” The lions roared, the elephants
trumpeted, while the disconsolate
whangdoo'lle mourned, and the gyascu-
tis performed his usual pranks. The
confidence man and the booze artist
met on mutual ground—the one fleeced
the other in true slum style. Yes, they
are gone, and a lot of our good coin
with them. They left a third of the
money in the city coffers.
—Mr. M. M. Bradley, senior partner
of the Bradley-Hyatt Co., is visiting
New York for the purpose of purchas
ing a spring stock of dry goods and
notions.
—Monday afternoon Mrs. Jas. G.
Cheney entertained the Young Mat
rons’ Ciub at dominoes. Billy Possum
had the honor of gracing the score-
cards, a unique design by Mrs. H. B.
Adams. The usual aftermath—a salad
course—was served.
—After a ten-days’ visit to relatives
in Talladega. Ala., Mrs. John Lineber-
ger returned Tuesday.
—Mrs. R. D. Jackson, who has been
spending the winter at St. Petersburg,
Fla., returned Sunday, accompanied
by her son, Donald, and Miss L. T. Ad
amson.

I an eighty-five dollar diamond ring to the j
Queen of the Carnival, who was to be se
lected from among the young ladies of
Carrollton. The candidates were Misses
Laura Chambers and Daisy Harris, j
The contestants were to be voted for |
at one cent per ballot—i. e., a person
giving a dollar or other amount was al
lowed as many votes as there were
cents in the sum voted. One-third ot
this amount was to go to the monument
fund and the fire department, and the
other two-thir3s to the carnival compa
ny. The scheme netted $480. Miss
Chambers won the queenship and the |
ring. The contestants ran so close that
the carnival people gave Miss Harris
also an elegant diamond ring. Both
young ladies are held in high esteem
by our people, and either of them
would have graced the office with be- |
coming dignity.

A story, said to be characteristic, is
told ot an Arkansas Judge. It seems
that when he convened court at one of
the towns on his circuit it was found
that no pens, ink, or paper had been
provided, and. upon inquiry, it devel
oped that no county funds were avail
able for this purpose. The Judge ex
pressed himself somewhat forcefully,
then drew some money from his own
pocket. He was about to hand this to
the clerk, when a visiting lawyer, a
high-priced, imported article, brought
in to defend a case of some importance,
spoke up, in an aside plainly audible
over the room.
“Well,” he remarked, with infinite
contempt. “I’ve seen some pretty bad
courts, but this—well, this is the lim
it !”
The Judge flushed darkly.
“You are fined twenty-five dollars
for contempt, sir! Hand the money to
the clerk!’’ he said, and when the
pompous visitor had humbly complied,
he continued:
“Now, Mr. Clerk, go out and get
what pens, ink and paper the court
may require, and if there is anything
left over, you can give the gentleman
his change.”
AFTER THE GRIPPE
Yinol Restored This Man’s
Strength
“Several years ago I was attacked by
a severe case ot grippe, which left me
with a hacking cough, soreness in my
chest, and bronchitis. I took nearly
every kind of cough syrup sold on the
market, besides medicine given me by j
physicians.
I received no permanent relief until
my druggist asked me to try Vinol,
and after taking three bottles I was
entirely cured.
I believe Vinol to be the greatest
blessing ever offered to the public, as
it does what is claimed for it.’’ R. El. R.
Hicks. Maplesville, Ala.
The reason Vinol cures chronic
coughs, colds and pulmonary troubles
is because it contains tonic iron ami
all the healing and body building ele
ments of cod liver oil but no oil.
Vinol Is also unexcelled as a strength
builder for old people, delicate children,
weak and run-down persons, and after
sickness.
Vinol is sold in Newnan by HOLT & CATES

Making More Money Out of
Cotton Crops
is merely a question of using enough of the right
kind of fertilizers.
Virginia-Carolina
Fertilizers
are the right kind.
The cotton plant cannot feed on barren land. Study
your soil. Find out what it lacks. Then apply the
necessary fertilization and the results will surprise you.
See what Mr. W. C. Hays of Smith Station, Ala., did. He says:
“I planted about 30 acres of some ‘gray sandy land’ that had been in
cultivation for over 20 years, and used 300 pounds of Virginia-Caro-
lina Fertilizers per acre, and I expect to gather 30 bales from,
the 30 acres.” This is why we say it is the right kind. We have
hundreds ofletters like this, and even stronger, in praise of Virginia-
Carolina Fertilizer for cotton.
Get a copy of the new 1909 Virginia-Carolina Farmers’ Year Book
from your fertilizer dealer, or write our nearest sales office and a copy
will be sent you free. It contains pictures of the capitols of all the
Southern States.
