Headquarters, Elf Station
Fairyland, Nov. 16, 1914
Coweta County Folks,
Care of Your Home:
While my headquarters are at Elf Station in Fairyland, it is
hard to find me there, as I am ever scouring the Toy Lands of the
World in order to bring happiness to the family fireside.
This year my pack is bigger and better than ever before. The
inspiration which I gather from year to year on my annual Christ
mas visit from the happy faces of little children, and their faith in
my sure appearance, has made it possible for me to surmount all
obstacles and situations.
It is my desire to locate for them some merchant in every town and city in
our glorious Southland who will handle a line of toys ranging in price from 5c
to $1, so that none of my little friends will be disappointed Christmas morning.
It has been my happy luck to visit Newnan, Ga., and find there
The McClure Ten-Cent Company
well equipped in space and management to take care of a line of toys; so I have
contracted with them for my headquarters in Coweta county.
Thanking you for your patronage of my selection and good-bye until
Christmas Eve, I am yours truly,
The Promoter of Little Folks’ Happiness,
SANTA CLAUS.

per at which Mr. and Mrs. R. N. Cole

with cluny lace, the center-piece being
a lovely gilt basket filled with red car
nations and asparagus fern tied with
red tulle. The place-cards were white
hearts, hand-painted in red and green,
and the favors were little gilt baskets
filled with red and green flowers. AU
the details were perfect, the ices and
mints carrying out the color-scheme of
red and green. The handsome living-
room was elaborately decorated in
holly, and cut-glass vases with red car
nations were placed on the mantels and
cabinets. The bride-elect was very be

with lace trimmings. Mrs. Cole, who

The cost of producing cotton aver
ages about 8 24 cents a pound, or $20.35
an acre, according to Assistant Chief
Nat C. Murray, of the Federal bureau
of crop estimates. These statistics,
the latest available on the Bubject, are
the results of the investigation made
in 1910. A Bimilar investigation in
1896 showed the production cost was
5.27 cents a pound, or $15.42 an acre.
Many inquiries (due, no doubt, to the
great decline in price of coi ton, which
on Nov. 1 averaged 6.3 cents a pound
to producers, compared with 12.1 cents,
the average for the paBt five years on
Nov. 1,) have been received by the
Department of Agriculture. It is
pointed out by Dr. Murray that the
two investigations indicate a material
increase in the money cost of produc
ing cotton between the two periods,
the increase averaging more than 3 per
cent, a year.
A Test for Liver Complaint—Men
tally Unhappy, Phisically Dully.
The liver, sluggish and inactive, first
Hhows itself in a mental state—unhappy
and critical. Never is there joy in liv
ing, as when the stomach and liver are
doing their work. Keep your liver ac
tive by using Dr. King’s New Life Pills ;
they empty the bowels freely, tone up
the stomach, cure your constipa!ion and
purify the blood. 25c at druggist’s.
Bucklen’s Arnica Salve excellent for

Franklin News and Banner: “From
expressions coming from farmers we
infer that many of them are as utterly
diBgusted with (he 'sell-a- bale’ slogan
as they were with the ‘buy-a-bule’
dodge. The fact is, many farmers do
not appreciate the wholesale advice
that has been dished out to them dur
ing recent mi nths. Still, it begins to
look like Heard county farmers are go
ing to have something besides cotton
to sell next season.”
A North Georgia exchange summar
izes the accomplishments of the coun
try editor as follows:
“To run a newspaper all a fellow has
to do is to be able to write poems, dis
cuss the tariff and money questions,
umpire a baseball game, report a wed
ding, suw wood, describe a fire bo that
the readers will shuck their wraps, make
$1 do the work of $10, shine at a dance,
abuse the liquor habit, subscribe to
charity, go without meals, attack free
silver, invent advertisements, sneer at
snobbery, overlook scandal, appraise
babies, minister to the afflicted, heal
the disgruntled, fight at the drop of a
hat, set type, mould opinions, sweep the
office, speak at prayer-meeting, and
stand in with everybody and every
thing.”

Prompt Action Will Stop Your Cough
When you first catch a cold (often
indicated by a sneeze or cough.) break
it up at once. The idea that "it doesn’t
matter” often leads to serious compli
cations. The remedy which immediate
ly and easily penetrates the lining of
the throat is the kind demanded. Dr.
King’s New Discovery soothes the ir
ritation, loosens the phlegm. You feel
better at once. “It seems to reach the
very spot of rriy cough” is one of many
honest testimonials. 50c at your drug

War's effect on the price of cotton
has caused a loss of about $425,000,000
to American cotton farmers this year
it is announced by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Experts base
their estimate on the shrinkage of
prices this year compared with those of
laBt year. This year’s prices are the
lowest that have prevailed since 1898.
Cotton prices on Nov. I averaged 6.3
cents per pound, while a year sgo the
price was 13 cents. This reduction rep
resents a total shrinkage for lint cot
ton of about $426,000,000,
