■ -■ ■ Rerald and fldpertiscr. 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. Our Carrollton Correspondent "Beliovc m<\ I Hpoak an my understnndlnur in- ; - I as i ■nco.” |.ShakoHp<!iir<\ 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.

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.

The only Baking Powder Made from Royal Grape Cream of Tartar 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.

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.

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. Every Woman Will Be Interested.

Harper's Weekly. _ 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 CO.. Druggists. Why Sutter ?

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.
