Mayor Woodward, nl the City-

becoming luiimus as an export in
a certain linn of agricultural pro
duction. In other words, he iH

Boykin Wright, of Augusta, Inis
retired from the rucu for Governor
on account of the tact that his
health will not permit him to en
ter politics. His action is hasty, as
there is ample tune lor recovering
his health before the campaign of
1900 actually opens.
People are coming from every
direction to Newnan and the city's
population is constantly und rap
idly increasing. Newnan is destin-
od to be by far the largest and
bust town between Atlanta and
the Alabama line and between
Homsou die north and Golumbu

of promulgating any prevarica
tions in reference to the soiled con
dition of Georgia politics.
Some Fort Gaines boys, bent
upon giving a'cormot imitation of
the recent action of their daddies,
one night last week set tire to a
cotton warehouse and eleven bales
of cotton were consumed. The
boys displayed ns much judgement,
and common sense as their elders,
whose example they were imitat
ing; and they should not be pun
ished for this attempt to reduce
the cotton surplus.
THE COiMRV WEtklY.
The big city dailies which devote
a good deal of space to pokiug fan
at, the country weekly might easi
ly be in a better business. In this
day of rpiick transportation and
rural free delivery there are few
intelligent people “so far back" as
not to take a daily paper. The
farmer nowadays hus his city dai
ly just us regularly as the man in
the city.
But it’s obvious that the city dai
ly cannot give a quarter column
of space to an item to the effect
that Mr. So-and-So, of the Foul
Cross Roads, is building a store.
Yet that news is just as interest
ing to the people of the Four
Cross Roads as is some city pa
per's news to city people that a
new department store is to .lie
opened in the retail district.
Both the. city daily and the
country weekly have their own
separate fields to fill. The country
weekly fills a most ipipc^rtant
place. It is its province to tell
the happenings of its community.
These happenings may look funny
in print to the editor of a city
daily, but it is not for him ITfut
the country weekly is published.
And 1lio country weekly is not
read in the “way back’ 1 regions a-
loue either. Many a city man
lakes time from large affairs to
tear the brown wrapper off the
little weekly paper ami forget the
big world about him, and the big
city dailies, while he reads about
the old folksdown at home.
The country editor’s calling is
not one which promises vast rich
es. lie must have devotion to his
work, and, considering what he
gets out of it, he delivers u sur
prisingly high class of goods. It
is doubtful if the country editor
always realizes just how grout an
iniluotiee lie has and his opportu
nities. Ah u matter of fact, lie is
nearer to t he people to whom he
appeals than any other man who
spreads black ink on white paper.
The country editor may not just
exactly come up to the ideas of
the editor of a big city daily, but
he suits liis own subscribers, and
even some editors of city dailies
know that that is the highest, test.

STATE PRESS ON CHANCE IN NEWS' MAN
AGEMENT.
The Newnan News is newsy and
sparkling under its new manage
ment.—Fitzgerald Enterprise.
Col. P. T. McCutchen, who es
tablished the Nejvnan News some
years ago, and has been its talent
ed editor ever since, has retired
from the newspaper bushmss. but
will remain a citizen of Newnan.
Gol. McCutchen has been gener
ally regarded as one of the best
newspaper men in the State, and
his friends of the press regret that'
he is no longer in the business.
Mr. J. T. Fain, formerly of Mon
roe, Ga., has succeeded him as
editor of Tho News. He is an ex
perienced newspaper man, and we
welcome him to this part of the
State. -LuGrangtt Reporter.
A WOO TO SUBSCMERS.
In taking charge of The News
the present publisher received,
along with the other property of
the paper, the subscription lists of
The News. This fact leads us to
make some remarks of considera
ble importance to the paper and
its subscribers.
The News’ subscription ac
counts, up to Jan. 1, 1905, are the
property of Mr. P. T. McCutchen.
Mr. McCutchen has made arrange
ments to have all paid-in-advance
subscriptions continued the length
of time paid for. This disposes
of the old business of The News
in ia maimer entirely satisfactory
to the 'present publisher; and he
is, therefore; solely concerned a-
bout futurs business.
We received The News’ subscrip
tion arid mailing lists intact und
are sending the'paper to all old
subscribers-‘-with the exception
of ten Or a dozen who have order
ed it discontinued. The News
will continue to go to all of these
subscribers, except those who or
dered it Stopped ; and we trust all
who do-not want the paper will
“speak out, in mootin' ” at once.
Of course, we hope all old sub
scribers will remain readers of The
News—we desire their patronage
und expect to merit, it—but we
will not.send the paper to a person
who does not want it, if they will
just ask to have it discontinued.
The News wants and expects to
build up a list of interested read
ers—a list composed of subscrib
ers who want the paper, pay for
it, read it carefully, and all the
while feel that they are receiving
100 conts worth of county news
paper for every dollar paid for Tin
News. Dissatisfied and disgrun
tled subscribers are not wanted.
Nobody will be asked or expected
to read The News under protest.
The News is looking for a list of
pleased, satisfied readers; and
wants no other kind.
So, dear reader, if you want The
News discontinued, don’t be timid
about expressing your wishes. Ask
to have the paper stopped—you
will have to ask but once—but
come to the office, if you can, or
w'rite a postal card or letter, if
you can’t come to the office, (when
you want your News discontinued.
Don’t have the postmaster or car
rier mark the paper “Refused”
and send it back. Such procedure
always gives the editor a severe
shock and hurts his feelings. If
you must quit the News,break the
news gently to the editor and
spare his sensibilities as much as
possible.
Don’t be afraid to face the edi
tor when yoti want to quit the
News. He will neither refuse to
stop the paper or stop to diBcuss
the matter with you. ■
Life is too short and the-editor
is too busy to remonstrate with a
subscriber who wants his paper
stopped.
Turner’s Election! for CFerk.
The Senoia Enterprise-Gazette
has this to say of Mr. Lynch Tur
ner’s election to the position of
Clerk of Coweta Superior Court:
“Mr. Turner is an excellent gen
tleman and has practically been
clerk for several months and gives
entire satisfaction, and now as he
has full control, we can expect, if
possible, even better services. He
is in every way competent to fill
the high position to which he is
elected.”

“My wife had the consumption, anil

Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy the
Beat Made.
“Ia my opinion Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy Is the best made for colds,"
says M rs. Cora Walker, of Porterville,
California. There is no doubt about its
being the best. No other will cure a
cold so quiokly No other is so sure n
preventative of pneumonia. No other is
so pleasant and safe to take. These are
good reasons why it should be preferred
to any other. The l'nct is that few peo-'
