OF THE NEWS:
Sometimes sample copies of ’In !■: N kwh are ni ailed to
persons who air not subsoriliers of this paper. Of course this
i- an invitation to snlwerilK*; and we take this method of letting
people imacquainted with Tm; Nr.ws read a few copies in order
to determine if they wish to lieeome permanent readers.

“Sample < opy” printed at the top of first page in Imld type,
No person is expected to or can l»e made to pay lor sample
copies ol a newspaper. Therefore, any person may, w ith per
fect propriety and freedom, receive from a postotliee or carrier
sample copies of Thk Nkwh, w ith the assurance that they will
never l>e asked to pay for them.
'fin. Nr:\vH trusts all persons receiving sample copies
wj]| jrjyc them careful consideration. It is unfair to condemn
l in N i u s w ithout a hearing (or, a reading i and we feel sure
I,nt very few people in Coweta county are so narrow-minded
sind prejudiced as to he unw illing to read a few sample copies of
this paper.
Ini Ni;wh seeks patronage on its merits as a newspaper.
If neithei panders to prejudice nor hows to puerility. It neither
fears to approve right nor to condemn wrong. It proposes to
meet all men and all issues in a spirit of candor, fairness and
courtesy; hut it does not propose to he a trimmer or a dodger,
nor to \eiI its attitude on any question with a multitude of idle
words. Tin; Nkwh hits straight from the shoulder and ex
presses its sentiments in the plainest Knglish at its command.
These are a few words in reference to the principles con
trolling the conduct of Thk N kwh.
In addition to these things, Till; Nkwh prints the news
of Coweta county with impartiality; and as it desires to excell
shall endeavor as the days go hy to print more news than any
other county paper and to give the people the host service oh
tamable 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 Til k N kwh 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, Till; N kwh will la* satis
fied with their verdict, w hether it is favorable or unfavorable to
this paper.

Why Coffee, is Healthful
To rise the words of a prominent physician: “An'ordi
nary infusion of coffee destroyed the germ of erysipelas in one
day, the germ of 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 85c the pound, and Mac-
Veagh’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.
e sell good bulk coffees at Joe and IT l-2c per pound,
and have some other grades, not mentioned above, that are a
little higher in price.

guarantee unprecedented in the annals of the collection
business — TO COLLECT FIVE TIMES THE AMOUNT
