An
Newnan Wins Debate.
Newnan high school met the West
Point high school in debate at West
Point on Friday last. The debate was
held in the high school auditorium, and
a large and enthusiastic audience was
present. The question for debate was:
“Resolved, That capital punishment
shall be abolished.” Glenn Post and
Thos. Bradley, of Newnan, handled the
affirmative side, while the negative
was championed by Lewis Ober and
Geo. Erwin, of West Point. Each
speaker was limited to ten minutes,
with four minutes for refutation.
The judges, Prof. Ricketson, Judge
Strong and Col. Reeves, of LaGrange,
were unanimous in awarding the decis
ion in favor of the affirmative.
While the speeches of both sides
showed careful preparation, the New
nan boys excelled in strength of argu
ment, delivery, and especially in rebut
tal work.
Several weeks ago a contest was held
at the Newnan high school, at which
time Glenn PoBt and Thos. Bradley
were chosen to represent the schools in
the series of debates to be held in the
Fourth district. The final debate will
be held at Carrollton, at the Fourth dis
trict meet, early in April. At this meet
representatives from the different high
schools will contest in the following
events: Penmanship, spelling, music,
essay writing, declamation, recitation,
debate, 100-yard dash, 220 yard dash,
440-yard hurdle, relay, shot put, etc.
Those who win first places in the dis
trict meet will fight it out at the Uni
versity of Georgia in June for the State
medals.
Death of Judge T. A. Brown.
A death which caused sorrow to hun
dreds of friends throughout the county
was that of Judge Thos. A. Brown, one
of Coweta’s oldest and best citizens,
which occurred Monday night at the
home of Judge W. B. Martin, on Tem
ple avenue. He was seized with a chill
Sunday night, and this developed pneu
monia, causing his death just 24 hours
after he was stricken.
Judge Brown was born and reared in
Coweta, being 74 years of age at the
time of his death. He had never mar
ried, but during his later years assumed
the part of a father toward several or
phaned nephews and nieces, to whom he
wasdevpted. Two of the latter are Mrs.
W. B. Martin and Mrs. R. H. Ware, of
this city.
Genial and hospitable by nature, loyal
and warm-hearted in his friendships, he
waB loved and esteemed by all who
knew him.
During the latter part of the Civil
War he entered the service of the Con
federacy as a member of Capt. J. B.
Ware’s” company, (State troops,) and
remained with his command until the
ciose of hostilities.
The remains were carried out to
Elim church Tuesday afternoon, where
the funeral and interment took place,
services being conducted by Dr. E. W.
Stone, of this city, assisted by Rev. F.
J. Amis, of Welcome, and Rev. J. T.
Baxter, of Atlanta, the latter a friend
of many years’ standing.

Cleanliness!
The most essential feature in the
preservation of 1IEALT11, is CLEAN
LINESS.
Cleanliness of people’s surroundings
is necessary to prevent the invasion of
infectious diseases, and the spread of
epidemics. Sanitary conditions of
your house must have constant care.
The law of most cities and towns, for
tunately, have organized sanitary de
partments, who safeguard the public
to a very large extent..
W hen the Sanitary Inspector looks
askance over your back fence, that
means you’ve been a little negligent.
He will DEMAND cleanliness, or
have the “law” on you. YOU, in
turn, have a perfect right to DE
MAND the cleanliness of your city,
or neighborhood or locality. You
have a right PARTICULARLY to
demand cleanly markets and stores
where MEATS and perishable foods
arc sold. Herein lies the fundamental
source of health preservation; Purity
of foods and sanitary markets. More
for the general good of the public
health can be credited to these sources
than all others combined. The SIMS
SANITARY MARKET, where you
can buy the best in MEATS at all
times, always under strict sanitary
conditions, and scrupulous cleanliness.
This market is a model of its kind;
and, as prices are no higher, you can
trade there without paying a premium
for the safety it provides you and
your family.
Then—WHY NOT TRADE AT
THE SIMS MARKET?
This ad. and 27c entitles you to one 1-lb. box of Dixie Pride
Breakfast Bacon. Regular selling price, 35c. Bring this with you.

Suggestions for Clean-up Week,
April 5 to 12.
1. Take away the ashes and trash
from your back yard immediately.
Send your rubbish to the dumping-
ground.
2. Suggest to several men with teams
that they drive through the alleys with
a sign, “Clean-Up-Wagon,” on their
wagons; also a bell calling attention.
People are only too glad to pay such a
man for hauling their trash away.
3. Burn all rubbish that will burn.
Clean your vacant lots and alleyways.
4. Make your streets and parks look
as trim and well-kept as possible.
5. Refrain from throwing old papers,
banana and orange Bkins into the
streets.
6. Plant some grass and flower seeds
to make your home beautiful.
7. If your store front is dingy, paint
it.
8. If you have unsightly old buggies
or traps in your back yard, remove
them.
9. If there are unnecessary, unsight
ly, tumble-down sheds in your back
yard, tear them down. They detract
from the beauty of your home and the
town. Open space and fresh air are
better.
10. If your walk is an eyesore to
those traveling over it, repair it or
build a new one.
11. Clean out the alleys back of the
business houses at once.
By all means do your part to help
make your town cleaner and more at
tractive.

Among those things which all women
Bhould know of, and many of them do,
Is a splendid external application sold
in most drug stores under the name of
“Mother’s Friend.” It is a penetrating
liquid and many .and many a mother tells
how it so wonderfully aided them through
the period of expectancy. Its chief pur
pose is to render the tendons, ligaments
and muscles so pliant that nature’s ex
pansion may be accomplished without the
intense strain so often characteristic of
the period of expectancy.
“Mother’s Friend” may therefore be
considered as indirectly having a splendid
influence upon the early disposition of
the future generation.
Whatever induces to the ease and com
fort of the mother Bhould leave its impress
upon the nervous system of the baby.
At any rate it is reasonable to believe
that since “Mother’s Friend” has been a
companion to motherhood for more than
half a century it must be a remedy that
women have learned the great value ol.
