During the present year County
School Superintendent I’endergrast has
made 240 otlicial visits to the 80 public
schools of t ie county, or an average of
three visits to ench school. In this con
nection we are pleased to note that all
teachers have been paid their salaries
up to Dec. 1, leaving only the Decem
ber payment yet to he made. We doubt
if there are a dozen counties in the State
that can make so good a showing.
Franklin was shocked Tuesday to
learn of the suicide of Mr. Roe Wingo,
of Waresville. He had been in ill health
for some time, and the rash deed had
been feared by many of his friends.
While the children were at school and
the wife was out at her duties, the
man, evidently in a state of mental dev
spair, is said to have blown out his
brains with a shotgun. The unfortu
nate affair cast a gloom over the entire
community.—Franklin News and Ban
ner.

The Halcyon Theatre wishes its many
friends a Merry Christmas and a Hap
py New Year. The management

touch with the best producers of pic

hibit only pictures of the highest char
acter.
Mrs. W. E. Nimmons, one of New-
nan’s moBt estimable and beloved young
matrons, died on Friday night last, af
ter a week’s illness with pneumonia.
So sudden was the attack and so brief
her illness that the announcement of
her death was a great Bhock to her
friends. She was a good woman, loved
by all who knew her, and the stricken
husband and other relatives have the
sympathy of the entire community in
their bereavement. The funeral took
place Sunday afternoon, services being
conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. E.
Hannah, after which her remains were
laid to rest in Oak Hill cemetery.
The marriage of Miss Annie Goodwyn
and Mr. J. I. Vansant, of Roopville,
Ga., was a happy event occurring Sat
urday afternoon at the home of the
bride’s parents, Capt. and Mrs. John
B. Goodwyn, on Greenville street. Tho
ceremony waH performed by Dr. J. S.
Hardaway, and was witnessed only by
the relatives of the contracting parties.
The home was beautifully decorated in
Christmas greens and pink and white
roses, the parlor being lighted by pink-
shaded candles. A delicious salad course
with coffee was served, after which
Mr. and Mrs. Vansant. left on the 6:30
p. m. train for a short, trip to Atlanta
and Douglasville. The out-of-town
guests were Mrs. Dr. Vansant, Mr.

sant, of Douglasville; Dr. and Mrs. II.
J. Goodwyn and Mr. Sum Alexander,
of Roopville; Dr. and Mrs. L. E. Wil

Attractions at The Strand.
Following its policy of showing three
genuine features each week, The Strand
offers three big features for next week.
Monday the managerm nt; will show
the great Fox drama, “Princess Ro
manoff',” a Russian drama, with the
famous legitimate actress, Nance Oneil.
Miss Oneil is known on the speaking
stage as “The Empress of Stormy Emo
tions,” and critics who have seen her
work in this feature say she is especial
ly fine.
Wednesday Charles Chaplin will ap
pear in the 2-part Essanay-Chaplin com
edy ”A Night in 'he Show.” This is
the latest Chaplin comedy to be re
leased. The Strand shows only new
Chaplin comedies, and this feature has
positively never been shown before
in Newnan. Also, on this date
Henry Walthall, star of “The Birth of
a Nation,” will appear in the Essunay
drama, “The Outer Edge.” Mr. Wal
thall needs no introduction to the peo
ple of Newnan.
Friday another famous legitimate
actresB, Florence Reed, will be fea
tured in “Her Own Way,” a 5-part
Metro special. Miss Reed has had a
long stage career, and this will be her
first appearance in Newnan. “Her
Own Way” is a romantic dr mu by
Clyde Fitch, and is a suitable play for
starring Miss Reed. A story of ex
ceptional merit, with a great actress to
lead. __
Can! of Thanks.
We wish to thank the good people of
Newnan who, by their many kind deeds,
poured' halm upon our wounded hearts
during our recent sorrow. May heav
en’s richest blessings ever attend them.

WHERE TO BUY
Spices
Buy Your Spices Where
They Sell Good
Ones
The best 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 front bark 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
here too. Vanilla, lemon, straw-
berry and pineapple, all from, nat
ural products.
