It is inexplicable why some people
think they must go out of town to shop
during the holiday season. There are
many reasons why you should do your
Christmus shopping at home. Here
are some good ones: At home you
know with whom you are dealing; if
not suited you can readily make an ex
change; you save time, railroad faro
and shoe leather; and, lastly, you can
buy at home just as cheaply, if not
cheaper.

Mr. Marvin Neill, whose postoffice is
Woodbury, has raised 17 bales of cot
ton on 17 acres of land. He used his
improved cotton seed, which produce
more bolls to the stalk than any other.
One stalk was found having 100 bolls.
Meriwether Vindicator.
Pretty good record, but not better
than has been made by Mr. Jacobus
Petty, one of Coweta's progressive far
mers, who raised this year 18 bales on
18 acres, besides an abundance of every
thing else that cun be produced on u
Georgia farm.
Sunday, Dec. 12, is the day set apart
i Ingathering Day for the Georgia
Baptist Orphans’ Home at Hapoville.
It ib earnestly desired that on that
day our church und Sunduy-school will
raise $25,001) for the orphanage—$10,000
to be used in building a cottage for
bubies, and the remainder to wipe out
the debt. It will be easy enough to do,
every Baptist will give one day’s
earnint s or income. The Central
Baptist church and Sunday-school will
take a collection on thnt day, and all
are asked to give liberally.
Public Sale of Personalty.—By vir
tue of an order of the Court of Ordi
nary of Coweta county, grunted on the
15th day of September, 1916, will be
sold before the court-house door in
Newnan, on the first Tuesday in Do
cember, 1915. within the legal hours
of sale, the following personal property
belonging to the estate of W. T. Folds,
lunatic, to-wit: One gray horse about
7 years old and one double-barrel shot
gun. Terms cash. This Nov. 26,1915.

Guardian of W. T. Folds.
Dr. J. C. Jackson, well-known citi
zen and popular physician of the Fourth
district, died yesterday morning, after
a long illness. He had been in failing
health for more than a year, and for
several months before his death was
rarely able to leave his bed. He had
been a successful practitioner in the
western part of the county for twenty
years, and will be greatly missed in
that community. Ho was about 62
years of age, and leaves a wife and
young son. The funeral will be held at
Elim church this afternoon.
It is understood this morning that the
quarantine against the shipment of cot
ton seed from Coweta county to At
lanta will be raised Monday, after
which time there will be no further em
bargo on shipments. This means that
the boll weevil has found its way into
Fulton county, which brings that terri
tory into the quarantine zone also,
along with Coweta and other counties
in the western part of the State. Upon
the strength of the report from Atlan
ta local buyers are to-day paying 75
cents per bushel for seed—the highest
price reached in this market since the
season opened.
The rural routes of Georgia are being
badly torn up by the Postoffice Depart
ment, in the many changes they are
making. We fear the Democratic par
ty will lose heavily next election by
this policy of the Department in trying
to curtail expenses. The people of the
rural di tricts do not feel that they
should be the first ones to suffer. They
look upon the rural route as the great
est favor ever shown them by the Gov
ernment, and any change brings loud
protests. We hope the Department
will make no changes to cripple the
service in our county. —Senoia Enter

“My Old Dutch” will be the feature
at The Halcyon next Wednesday. This

years ago Miss Turner was leading lady
with the Vitagraph Co., but severed her
connection to accept a position with a
larger company in Great Britain. "My

WHERE TO BUY
Spices
Buy] Your]Spices] Where
They Sell Good
Ones
The host spices you can buy are
the cheapest. A low-grade spice
made from raw material that has
no strength to start with is useless
for any purpose.
Take cinnamon for example,
ground from hark that has all the
oil taken out of it. Technically it
is pure ground cinnamon, nothing
else in it, but practically it might
as well be the kind that is adulter
ated with ground cracker crumbs
or ground peas.
We have a full line of ground
spices that are dependable. Every
kind is not only pure, but full
strength as well. We warrant them
satisfactory to you.
Tumeric, cloves, sage, allspice,
black pepper cayenne pepper, mus
tard, ginger, cinnamon, mixed
spices, mace. Some are 10c. per
can. some 15c., some 5c.
Extra good flavoring extracts are
