A New Fanners’ Line.

will soon be connected with the tele
phone exchange of the Southern Bell
Telephone in Newnan. The line will be
constructed by Mr. W. A. Robertson,
and he has signed a contract to connect
with the Southern Bell, It will extend
3 miles from Newnan out the Moore’s
Ferry road, and when completed will
furnish service to the following parties:
W. A. Robertson, residence; W. S.
Copeland, residence; C. O. Brightman,
residence; W. M. Thomas, residence;
J. J. Walker, residence.
Manager Thomson states that there
js considerable activity among farmers
in the matter of securing telephone ser
vice in their homes. He has had a num
ber of inquiries, and states that the in
dications are that several new conracts

change will soon be signed.
The extension of the telephone ser-
.vice to the farm is valuable to the mer
chants and business men of the city,
placing them in constant communica-
with an important element of their
trade. There are a number of farmers
telephone lines in Coweta county, and
the more progressive farmers are real
izing the value and advantage of being
m such close touch with their friends
and neighbors and the business centers.

was gowned in a costume of white cloth

crowned with white plumes, and carried
a bouquet of lavender carnations to em
phasize the chosen wedding colors of
lavender and white.
The ushers serving were Mr. Hugh

A Wild Blizzard Raging
brings danger, suffering—often death—
to thousands, who take colds, coughs
and lagrippe—that terror of winter and
spring. Its danger signals are “stuffed
up” nostrils, lower part of the nose
sore, chills and fever, pain in back of
head, and a throat-gripping cough.
When grip attacks, as you value your
life, don’t delay getting Dr. King’s
New Discovery. “One bottle cured
me,” writes A. L. Dunn, of Pine Val
ley, Miss., “after being ’laid up’ three
weeks with grip.” For sore lungs,
hemorrhages, coughs, colds, whooping
cough, bronchitiB, asthma, it’s supreme.
