A tempest disguised as a girl:
Sho’ll throw you a thriller
That’s almost a killer.

No plea enn retain her,
No law can restrain her—
The sweet sprite is having her fling;
One revel of laughter.
Some sighs to.come after,
This newest of wantons is—Spring!

We beg to call attention to I. N. Orr
Co.’s double-header ad. in this issue of
The Herald and Advertiser. This alert
firm held its buyers back until two
large bankrupt stocks were thrown on
the market in New York. The late
trip of the buyers wus unfortunate in one
respect, and very fortunate in another;
—unfortunate in being late, but very
profitable at last, for the reason that
most buyers had completed their sea
son’s purchases and returned home, and
the Newnan buyers had things their
own way, so to speak. The firm is
making every effort to get ready for its
great Easter opening on Wednesday
next, and to this end iB working night
and day unpacking and marking up the
new goods.

m. a social meeting for the entire mem
bership! was held in the Sunday-Bchool
room, after which all repaired to the
main auditorium, where Mr. Jenkins
made another address on the subject of
missionary work and what had been ac
complished in this field. Both talks
were full of inspiration, and will be
long remembered by those who heard
them. The sweet voices in the chil
dren’s choir added much to the enjoy

Those engaged in the campaign to
win the Atlanta Journal’s thousand-
Hollar Easter prize for the city hospital
wish to thank the good citizens of New
nan for their generous co-operation in
giving votes and cash for subscriptions.
They feel confident of winning the
prize, and will be much disappointed if
it should go to some other town. There
fore, all who have not prepaid their
subscriptions are asked to send them in
during the coming week, as only six
days remain in which to collect and
send in votes. Indifference during the
few days remaining may cause us to
miss getting the prize. This campaign
is not for the benefit of tho local medi
cal profession, as a few seem to think,
but is for Newnan and Coweta county.
Aviation Feats and General Jollifi
cation in Newnan on April 18.
The enterprising merchants of New
nan are keeping pace with other hust
ling towns, and have secured one of
the world’s greatest aviators (Beech)
to give an aeroplane exhibition in this
city on Saturday, April 18.
When spectators see Aviator Beech
leave the earth and take the air with
his machine they will witness one of
the world’s greatest flyers. They will
see an aviator who thinks nothing
of flying his frail machine thou
sands of feet in the air, and per
forming some startling maneuvers.
They will first see him, only a few
hundred feet high, performing all
the sensational feats known to aviation,
such as dips, rolls and glides; -then
they will see the machine start to
climb higher in the air. After he has
reached a great altitude he wilt per
form the sensational spiral glide. His
machine will be pointed downward,
and in a beautiful Bpiral he will
wind his way toward the earth. At a
distance of safety he will take his ma
chine out of the spiral, and bring it to
the ground.
It will be a sight worth coming miles
to see, and thousands of peqple from
the surrounding country will come here
to witness it.
