, Our early spring shipments
have been received, and we
invite your inspection of
these new goods. Not a bit
too early to lay in a supply of
goods for the spring sewing.
The chances are you’ll pay
more for these goods later on,
as they were bought at prices
based on 8c. for cotton.

HEW WASH GOODS-
We have seen nothing pret
tier in a long while than these
new cottons. Plain colored
reps with mercerised finish,
some with stripes in contrast
ing colors, mercerised foul
ards in inobtrusive designs.
FLAXONS. - You’ve no
doubt seen them advertised;
perhaps you bought some last
season. The line is more
complete than last year, and
they are positively the nicest
goods for the money we know
of.
if
WHITE GOODS-
No woman can afford to
buy white goods before in
specting this line. We think
we have the greatest and best
assortment -of these goods
ever shown in Newnan. They
were bought months ago, and
needless to say cannot be re
placed at the price we paid.
We direct your special atten
tion to omv’-’Killarney” dress
linen—the greatest value in
white goods on the market-

Committee will probably meet the first
week in March to discuss plans for

will likely ask an expression from all
the candidates before fixing a date.

House officers and members of the Leg
islature cannot be held earlier than the
first week in August, under the new
law governing primary elections passed
by the last Legislature.
