REMEMBRANCE.
Tho now can novcr quite efface the old.
For always In our thouRhta tho old love clings,
And always In our hearts when all la told
Reraombranco sings.
Scenes of our busy lives may change and shift.
Yet with an Innor vision we decry
Some quiet landscapo whore tho green hills lift
To moot tho sky.
Some house that made our home through happy
y fears—
Some mothor hoart of love, unfailing, true—
homo room that hold tho doepoat hopos and fears
Our living know.
Then grim To-day may grip us, gaunt and bold.
And bond us with tho weight of things—
Yot doep in the heart of each, when all Ib told.
Remembrance Bingo. — [Elatnor C. Hull.

Satisfaction
In Buying Groceries
Can only be had by dealing with a store that is
conducted on a sound business basis. Straightfor
ward dealing, enterprising methods, moderate prp-
fits and liberal treatment of customers are the only
principles on which a merchant can do justice either
to himself or his patrons. It is by trying to live up
to these principles, together with the utmost atten
tion to business and unremitting efforts to please,
that I have attained and maintained the leading
position among the grocery merchants of Newnan,
and it is on this basis that I solicit your patronage.
The best of everything to eat at “live and let live
prices” is my motto.

wilt have charge of all local arrange
ments. Information concerning the as
sociation may be had by writing any
member/of the executive committee or
the secretary.
A gang of laborers was employed
digging a mysterious ditch across the
street. It was a sewer, or a place to
f iut a gas-pipe or something. One man
n particular was working as if he were
a chorus man in a play—just going
through the motions and pretending to
dig a ditch. The foreman came along
and spoke to him. “Don’t be afraid,
he said with rich sarcasm. “Lean on
th’ shovel now an’ thin. If it breaks
I’ll pay for it.”
NEWNAN’S REPLY
Newnan Accepts the Evidence and
Mapy Newnan Beadera Will
Profit by it.
Which is the more weighty proof—
a few words from a Newnan resident,
whom we know and respect, or vol
umes from strangers in distant towns?
There can be only one reply.
Mrs. W. H. Sewell, Spence Ave„
Newnan, says: “I suffered so from my
back that I could not get up when I
was down. I was alwayB in misery
and was so sore and lame that I could
not do any work. I got up in the morn
ing feeling more tired than the night
before. Headaches nearly drove me
mad and the kidney secretions caused
me much annoyance. I used Doan’s
Kidney Pills, procured from J. F. Lee
Drug Go., and they relieved the pains
in my back and put my kidneys in good
order. When I nave any signs of kid
ney trouble now, I always use Doan’s
Kidney Pills, and they relieve me.”
Price 60c., at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mrs. Sewell had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
