BATTLEFIELD ORATIONS. THE SACRED BO TREE.

Nijwh read a few copies in order to determim* it they wish to become permanent remlers. Every sample copy of Tub Nkwh mailed has the words, “Sample < opy” printed at the top of lirst page in bold type. No person is expected to or can be made to pay for sample copies of a newspaper. Therefore, any person may, with per- tort propriety and freedom, receive from a post-office or carrier sample copies of Tim Nkwh, with the assurance that they will never lie asked to pay for them. Tin, Nkwh trusts all persons receiving sant'ple copies Will give them careful consideration. It is unfair to condemn Tin. N i ws without a hearing (or, a reading) and we led sure Imt very few people in Coweta county are so narrow-minded and prejudiced as to be unwilling to read a few sample copies ol this paper. Tin; Xi-;\vh seeks patronage on its merits as a newspaper. It neither panders to prejudice nor bows to puerility. It neither tears to approve right nor to condemn wrong. It proposes to meet all men and all issnes'ln a spirit of candor, fairness and courtesy; but it does not propose to be a trimmer or a dodger, nor to veil its attitude on any question with a multitude ol idle words. Titk Nkwh hits straight from the shoulder and ex presses its sentiments in the plainest, English at its,command. These are a few words in reference to the principles con- I rolling the conduct of Til K X kwh, In addition to these things, Titn Nkwh prints the news ol ( oweta county with impartiality; and as it desires to excell shall endeavor as the days go by to print more news than any other county paper and to give the people thy last service ob tainable in a county paper. This we regard as a laudable ambition; and have no apol ogies to make for possessing that spirit or being guided by its inspiration. finally, all Till-; Nkwh asks is that persons who receive sample copies will examine them in a spirit of fairness, and render an unprejudiced verdict as to this paper’s merits and its claims for patronage. If all will do this. Tur. Nkwh will be satis- tied with their verdict, whether it is favorable or unfavorable to this paper. A OrpBt Oral of Fiction Alton! Ik! accorded Martini Spccchon.

The duke said, “What effect on the whole army can be ninde by a speech since you cannot conveniently make It heard by more than u Uioiisuiid- men standing about you?" Then the duke was asked If It were not the fact that Napoleon de livered some rather notable orations on the field. The duke wouig not have It. "The proclamations you rend In the french army were much more seen In the papers than by the soldiers . they wore meant for Paris."

"No,” comments a writer, “all these martial obiter dicta which our histories treasure up for us were for the most part never spoken at nil. The 'Inst words' of dying men and the speeches made on the battlefield or the deck of an ndmlral'H flagship are not to be re garded iih having been actually ut tered.

As soon as It was known through out the Isl0id that the tree hnd been destroyed by the fury of the elements great crowds of mourners gathered around Its "sacred remains” and held regular funeral services for two or three weeks.

We often see the ex tinction of families of parents whom any physician would have pronounced Why Coffee is Healthful To use the words of a prominent physician: “An ordi nary infusion of coffee destroyed the germ of erysipelas in one day, the germ a/splenic fever in one to three hours, the ty phoid bacillus in one to two days, and the microbe of Asiatic cholera in seven hours.” This is proof conclusive of the value of coffee as a healthful beverage. Couple this fact with the recent exposure of the widely advertised substitute-coffee that was found to contain an ex cess of very ordinary coffee! Aren’t you convinced by this combined evidence that good, old-fashioned coffee is the best beverage after all? Such coffees are Filson Club, at Soc the pound, and Mac- Vengh’s famous brands—Benito, at 85c ; Telmo, at 25c, and Puerto, at 80c. All these are extra quality and perfectly wholesome. They’re economical, too; as a little goes a long way. We sell good hulk coffees at 15c and 17 l-2c per pound, and have some other grades, not mentioned above, that are a little higher in price. C. P.
