New Lamps. We are showing this week in our windows a brand new as sortment of halidsoine lamps, with decorated bowls and Bhades. These are just the thing for parlor use, at once ornamental and useful. The showing consists of some six patterns, strictly new, up- to-date lamps purchased direct from the factory that makes them in order to secure the best prices, and lamps and prices are certain to be satisfactory to you, if you are needing goods of this kind. Few articles of ornament equal the decorative value of a handsome lump. If your par lor lacks this ornament, get one from this lot and you will be gratified at the result in your home. But don’t wait too long, get it now. Prices, $1.25, $2, $8, $8.50, $5. Lamps at all prices, Parlor, Kitchen, Hall, Library. Lamps of glass and metal, plain and decorated. In addition to the above we have in our windows this week some of the most handsome pressed glass bowls ever shown in Newnan. The pattern is such as to show up with the brilliancy of cut glass.
