) NEWNAN HERALD & ADVERTISER VOL. XLV Mi NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1909. NO. 4. mrnmm DAY Next Tuesday (26th) will be “Clover Day” at our shore. The simple announcement will, we feel sure, crowd the ^tore, as all who have attended our previous sales can bear witness to the remarkably low prices of the goods offered. This month we especially urge you to pay a visit to our Annex, where we are showing tailor-made suits, odd skirts and waists at a fraction of the regular price. We note below a few of the mo^t desirable offerings— Stress Coods Specials at 29c., 39c., 49c., 59c.— regular value up to 82 a yard. A lot of remnants to be sold by the piece only at half, or less than half, regular price. Silks An opportunity for you to buy some mighty cheap silks. It’s the last call;—we want to clean up the entire lot. They sold originally up to 81.50 per yard. Some are yard wide ;—very few dress lengths; but if you need a piece of silk for any purpose, you’ll agree with us they are cheap at 25c. a yard. Hair-bow Ribbons For the little girl’s hair. They are all silk, and excellent quality; five inches wide. Price 21c. a yard. Mi-over Nets These nets sold all the way up to 84 a yard, and now, while all-overs are so very stylish, are especially desirable. You can buy enough to trim your new dress or make a waist at from one-half to one-fourth the regular price. All one price—$1 a yard. Handkerchiefs You must have overlooked these last “Clover Day,” for they were on sale and very few bought them We do not want you to miss them this time, as they are really very cheap, and we only make the price in order to 5lean up our stock in readiness for our holiday line, which will be here shortly. The prices are 50c. a dozen, 10c. each, 25c. each. For mer values were up to $1.50. Skirts Some rare bargains in skirts. All colors and sizes are included in this lot. You’ll be wise if you’ll look them over. An odd skirt always is handy, and when you can buy it at next to nothing, why not have one? Tailor-made Suits There are not many of these, and not all sizes. Just a few carried from last year. The price less than you could buy the material to make even a skirt. Waists About two dozen of these, mostly short sleeves, but the prices are shorter than the sleeves. Less than you can buy the silk or net to make them. Longcloth We bought this cloth to sell at 81 a bolt, when cotton was cheap. Thought it such a good value we had our name printed on it. Since that time these goods have advanced 50 per cent, in price; so you get a bargain when you buy it next Tues day at 81a bolt. Cloaks We’ve taken out every cloak in our stock worth 812.50 and upward for this sale. They are all stylish, handsome garments, made by the best tailors. Some sold as high as 825; none of them less than 812.50. We’ve put a price on the whole lot of 87.99 each. Remember, these prices for one day only. »■'■■■■■ ■ Always Try to Be Here Early on “Clover Day" P. F. CUTTilMB & COMPANY WMmmw- )®®«S$®S©©©®®S$©S>®S®®®S®©S 6 PLOWS Never before has any buyer in Newnan tackled a car-load of Turning Plows; therefore, the farmer has had to pay 15 per cent, more heretofore for his plows. So we figured that if we bought the BEST STEEL-BEAM TURNERS made, and sold them for less than other dealers, we could handle a solid car-load. When you buy a Chattanooga Chilled Plow you may know you are getting the best. Every plow is guaranteed to be made from best material. Another reason for buying plows from us is that jmu can get any part ol any plow at any time you call. We have in stock CHILLED PLOWS, HILL SIDE PLOWS, CONTRACTOR PLOWS, MIDDLE- BREAKER PLOWS, SUBSOIL PLOWS, and repairs of all kinds for any Chattanooga Plow. We call special attention to Nos. 23, 63 and 71. No. 23 is a light 2-horse Turner, weighing 95 lbs; capacity, 8x10; high, straight standard, to avoid choking, and a large, shapely mold-board that is a good turner. No. 63 weighs 100 lbs; capacity, 8x10; Chilled Cutter share; sloping landslide, and long convex mold-board, either chilled metal or steel. The front is so low and the plow' so “rakish” that nothing sticks to it but the FARMER. No. 71 is a small 1-horse Turner, weighing 57 lbs; Cutter share fastened with two bolts; small mold-board; steel beam only. When you need a Turning Plow, either one, two, three, four or six horse, remember you can buy from us 15 per cent, lower than at other places. » H. C. ARNALL MDSE. CO. LOST OPPORTUNITY.

H. R. HARRIS Prominent in Georgia Political Af- lairs for a Number of Years. Columbus Enquirer-Sun, 16th inst. A dispatch received by the Enquirer- Sun from Greenville, Ga., yesterday brought news of the death of Hon. Hen ry it. Harris, which occurred at his residence near Odessadale in Meri wether county at 2 :30 o’clock yester day morning, after a lingering illness of several months. Col. Harris, who was in his 84th year, was one of the most prominent figures in West Georgia political histo ry of the past half-century, and his death recalls many of the most stirring scenes in the history of the Fourth Congressional district. He was widely known over the State, having taken an active part in Georgia politics, and his death will be mourned by many friends. He was the father-in-law of Hon. Warner Hill, the Railroad Commission er, and of the lace Judge T. A. Atkin son, who was Solicitor-General before his election to the Judgeship. Col. Harris represented the Fourth district four times in the Congress of the United States. He was first elected in 1872, serving six years, and again in 1834 was elected for a term. At the time of his first election poli tics in the Fourth district was at an intense stage, and the feeling between \ the above-the-mountain and below-the- j mountain factions was quite bitter, i The Fourth district achieved a reputa tion all over the State for the strenu- I ousness of its internal conflicts, the district being divided into two political factions of five counties each, the Pine ! mountain range thus being a political : a3 well as a geographical division line. When first elected to Congress Col. Harris, a resident of Meriwether coun- | ty, representing the above-the-moun tain faction, defeated Albert Lamar, 1 the candidate of the below-the-moun- 1 tair. faction, after a historic contest. | J n 1878 was held the celebrated Fourth district convention in Columbus in which Col. Henry R. Harris, Judge Henry Persons, of Talbot county, and others were candidates for the nomina tion for Congressman. Judge Win. A. Little was a member of that conven tion, and, recalling its strenuous fea tures yesterday, said that while Col. Harris had a majority, it was not suffi cient to nominate under the two-thirds rule then in vogue, and ballot after bal lot was taken without changing the re sult, although days were consumed in the tedious voting. The opposition to Col. Harris was very determined, and the advocates of the Meriwether coun ty man were equally firm, and so day after day passed without a choice be ing made, and with the prospect of making a nomination about as remote as it well could be. It was decided to adjourn the convention to Newnan, which was done. Judge Little was then practicing law with the late Gov. .1. M. Smith, and he proposed to Gov. Smith that he go to Newnan and look after the political end, while he (Judge Lit tle) would remain at home and look after the law end of the firm, which was done. The Newnan convention was a change only in scene, for the ballots were taken with the same re sult, and finally, after a session that lasted from the beginning in Columbus some three weeks previous, the conven tion adjourned without muking a formal nomination, although the majority of the delegates pledged themselves to Col. Harris. When the election was helfl Judge Persons was victorious, however. Judge Persons, who is the present Ordinary of Talbot county, was suc ceeded as Representative of the Fourth district by Congressman Buchanan. In 1884 Col. Harris was elected for anoth er term. Then Hon. T. W. Grimes, oE Columbus, was elected to Congress, and he was followed by Congressman Char lie Moses, and he in turn by Congress man Adamson. Co!. Harris was appointed Third As sistant Postmaster-General of the Uni ted States by President Cleveland dur ing his first administration, and filled the office with ability and distinction. He was prominent in the affairs of his section of the State for the greater part of a half-century, and in the his tory of the Fourth Congressional dis trict the name of Henry R. Harris will ever shine with luster. : Col. Harris was by occupation a planter. Col. Harris was a first cousin of the late Absalom Harris Chappell. Both families came from Hancock county, Ga., and the bonds between Absalom Chappell and Henry It. Harris were particularly close. Mr. Chappell’s well- known hook, “Miscellanies of Geor gia,” is dedicated to Col. Harris. Col. Harris' brother, Wm. T. Harris, was lieutenant - colonel commanding the Second Georgia regiment, and was slain on the field of battle aL Gettys burg. _ Growing Corn in the South. Birmingham Atfe-Horuld. There is room for hope that the cot ton belt will yet grow its own corn, A rivalry between the United States Gov ernment system as practiced on the demonstration farms and the William son system has sprung up, and there is room for hope in the new rivalry. Each system is a vast improvement over the system of shallow ploughing and slovenly cultivation, and the adop tion of either should be a matter of congratulation. Every State in the cotton belt should take steps to extend with all possible rapidity the one system or the other. Corn clubs are being formed in many counties, and in these counties pro gressive farmers are being induced to take half an acre of land, or even an acre, and to grow corn on it ac cording to the one or the other sys tem. Any method is better than the present old-time method, which affords an average yield per race of less than fifteen bushels. Such a yield lacks economy. Such a yield is discouraging. The corn club boys are producing on an acre from sixty to eighty bushels. Either system fully carried out will work a wonderful change. And if the South is to grow its own cotton, thus keeping at home its cotton money, it is plain it will come about through im proved cultivation either under the Government plan or the Williamson plan.

Although indigestion and dyspepsia are Bo prevalent, most people do not thoroughly understand their cause and how to obtain relief. There is no rea son why people should not eat anything they desire—if they will only chew it carefully and thoroughly. Many actual ly starve themselves into sickness through fear of eating every good-look ing, good-smelling and good-tasting food, because it does not agree with them. Dieting cannot cure dyspepsia. If we refuse every article of food thatdis- agrees with us, before long we have nothing left, and find ourselves chronic dyspeptics. We are so confident that we can fur nish relief for indigestion and dyspepsia that we promise to supply the medicine free of all cost to everyone who uses it according to the directions who is not perfectly satisfied with the results. We exact no promises and put no one under any obligations whatever. Surely noth ing could be fairer. We are located right here where you live, and our repu tation should be sufficient assurances of the genuineness of our offer. We want everyone who is troubled with indigestion or dyspepsia in any form to come to our store and get a box of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take them home, and give them a reasonable trial according to directions. They are very pleasant to take; they soothe the irritable stomach, strengthen and in vigorate the digestive organs, promote a healthy and natural bowel action, al most immediately relieve nausea and stomach irritation, produce healthy di gestion and assimilation and promote nutrition. A 26-cent package of Rexall Dyspep- siaTablets furnishes lodays’ treatment. In ordinary cases this is sufficient to produce complete relief. In more chron ic cases a longer treatment, of course, is necessary, and depends upon the se verity of the trouble. For such cases we have two larger sizes, 50 cents and $1,00.
