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. ■ ■ ♦- • At the regular monthly meeting of the County Commissioners on Wednes day last the following officers were re elected for another year, viz: Thos. G. Farmer, jr., clerk and uttorney; S. S. Nash, county warden; Clyde Lambert, deputy warden; Dr. W. 1.. Woodroof, county physician.

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.

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. T. G. Farmer, jr.. 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 prise-Gazette.
