THE NEWNAN NEWS. luuMl tvory Wednesday. * j. t. SAIN, Editor end Publisher. SUBSCRIPTION RATE, $1.00 PER YEAR. OFFICIAL PAPER OF COWETA COUNTY. 'Phone No. 20. OFFICE UP STAIRS IN THE WILCOXON BLOC. “Good luck” is the term that the shiftless apply to the diligent. The powers sav flint ri China must he kept intact.'” Sure! Broken China is N. G. Probably some more candidates For Governor will drop out of the Fight before it actually begins. Trade with the Newnan mer chants who advertise in The News. They are hustlers and will appre ciate your patronage. If all the Georgia Smiths vote for Uncle Jim for Governor in 1900 the old man may be able to head the “also ran" column. Now that Boykin Wright has re tired from the governorship riuy*, will the other candidates please ret ire. to the woods until the sum mer of 1900? , Governor Deneen, of Illinois, lias abolished lus slatl mid will have no colonels. It governors ot Georgia conclude to follow nis ex ample, a lot. ol gents, in this State will never rise to Kamo's distant and dizzy heights. Mayor Woodward, nl the City- hy tlm Piedmont-Hotel, is rapidly becoming luiimus as an export in a certain linn of agricultural pro duction. In other words, he iH busily engaged in raising Jain in that City’s various departments. 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 on theautith AooonRWgftW' their owu state ments, Bill. Osborne and Newt Morris sbiuild begin their refdrin campaign at home and first ( re form themselves. However, there is no reason to suppose that eit her of the gentlemen have been guilty 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. —Grand Rapids, Mich., Press. 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.
