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.

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.
