The Christmas spirit is in the nir,
and it is doubtful if there is a city in
the State that has made more elaborate
preparations for the holidays than New-
inin. Our merchants have responded
to the feeling of buoyancy that the
season creates, and they have loaded
their shelves and counters with every
thing that the senson demands. They
have bought heavily of holiday goods,
and every establishment is a veritable
exposition of articles that are both
beautiful and sensible.

Farm Demonstration Agent J. H.
Blackwell has furnished The Herald a
statement showing the excellent re
sults obtained through the use of hog
cholera serum by farm demonstration
agents throughout the State during the
past year. The statement is as follows:
Number of herds treated, 1,1176; num
ber of sick hogs treated, 11,400; number
of well hogs treated, 27,666; total num
ber of hogs treated, 31,066; number of
sick hogs died after treatment, 1,490;
number of well hogs died after treat
ment, 307; total number sick nnd well
hogs died after treatment, 1,797; per
centage of sick recovered, 56; percent

In Coweta county 1,375 hogs were
treated during the past year. Out of
100 sick hogs treated 55 per cent. died.
All well hogs treated escaped infection,
and no now cases developed in herds
treated. The above showing is an ex
cellent demonstration of the value of
hog chokru serum and the usefulness
of farm demonstration agents in treat
ing and controlling livestock diseases.

Is there any valid reason wh
hy you
should go out of town to do your Christ-
I mas shopping? For eleven months in
the year some people let the local mer-
II chants fill their wants. Then about
Christmas time they think it necessary
to go out of town. If the local mer-
l| chants are good enough for you eleven
months in the year they should be
good enough for you during the hobday
■ | season. Don’t go out of town. Do
! your Christmas shopping at home.

The dollar you send or take out of
town seldom comes back. If you spend
your dollar in town it stays here. It
circulates in the community. It is a I
living thing. The dollar goes to the
butcher, the baker. It goes to the doc
tor. The local merchant with whom
you spend it pays it out in wages. It
makes for the individual well being. It I
makes for the community well being.
Therefore circulate your Christmas dol
lars in town. Be a community builder.
You cannot do any better out of town I
than you can right here with our local [
merchants. With that fact confronting |
yt u, why hesitate about spending your
Christmas dollars with the home mer
chants? The local merchants are pro
gressive and a part of the community
in which you live, and in which you are
vitally interested. They’ll give you
value received for every dollar you
spend. Besides, they’ll circulate that |
dollar of yours in town. It will stay
here. If you take it out of town you I
are injuring the community. You are
injuring your neighbor. You are in
juring yourself. Circulate your dollar
here. Do your Christmas shopping at
the home stores.
Brimer-Watkins.
On Wednesday evening, Dec. 1, at
7:30 o’clock, Miss Velma Brimer and
Mr. Naaman Watkins were united in
marriage, at the home of the bride’s
parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. A. Brimer,
of Happy Valley.
The color-scheme of white and green

provised altar, before which the bride
and groom stood, was a mass of ferns
and vines. At the appointed hour the
bridal party entered and stood be
fore the altar. First came Mr. and
Mrs. Buford Brimer, best man and
matron of honor; next came Mr. Ernest
Moore and Miss Katherine Watkins,
groomsman and maid of honor; then
the bride and groom. An impressive
ceremony was performed by Rev. S.
D. Cremean.
The bride was lovely in her bridal
robe of ivory white crepe de chine and
lace. Mrs. Buford Brimer wore her
wedding gown and Miss Katherine
Watkins wore a lovely costume of
white satin. Following the ceremony
there was a reception. The many hand
some and useful presents attested the
popularity of the yonng couple, who
have the best wishes of everyone.

Ever Struck You—
—that a whole lot of money to he borrowed on cotton has got to come from
men who wouldn’t know a patch if they were looking right at it?
Fact. And here’s why: While cotton is moving, our own funds at home
are busy. "They won’t nearly go round for loans. So much more has got to come
from somewhere eLe, or that much cotton’s got to be sold quick.
Now, the dollar is mighty careful. You can’t blame it. - Conservatism s a
trait of the Money family. All the world s after its favor all the time. That s
why it can afford to pick and choose its company.
Which brings us to the point, as the fellow said when he sat on the tack.
Before the European war, a southern banker went to Berlin and asked, What about
some money to lend on cotton?" They were polite, and they didn't laugh. But they said
they wouldn't choose any cotton loans just then.
The southern banker was ready.
"What’ll you say if we build a warehouse absolutely proof against fire, weather,
thief and time," said he. “And if wc make sure of- the weight and grade and marks and
condition and clear ownership of the cotton, said he. And wr " guaran
teeing all these details on our own responsibility, said he. WHAT THEI ? ,
"All the money in the world you want on that scrap of paper, they told him. It s
NEGOTIABLE. Lead us to it.”
Same thing London. Ditto Paris. , . . , . , . , .
Then the war broke out. Cotton couldn’t be sold. This banker couldn t lend to his
own customers, even, on the warehouse receipts they offered. So he built temporary
warehouses of his own, and began issuing the negotiable receipts.
And he found that AMERICAN money—plenty of it—was glad of a chance at those
receipts. Lie wouldn't have to call on Europe or wait till after the war.
So, like the famous Topsy, we just growed. The bankers name is A. P.
Coles. He’s our general manager.
We’ve got permanent warehouses now. We offer you safe storage at
low rales. Loan money’s waiting.
Ever struck you how sometimes things solve themselves?
