Rev. L. T. Reed, pastor of the
Baptist church, requests the News-
Herald to announce that the pro
tracted meeting at the Baptist
church will begin the second Sun
day in July, instead of the second
Sunday in June, as formerly
stated.
■ Mrs. Exum, one of Prof. Bag
well’s assistants, had the misfort
une to lose a five dollar bill the
first night of the commencement.
Miss Eva Bagwell also lost a brace
let which belonged to her mother,
and which makes the loss doubly
felt.
It pays to advertise. The firm
of J. A. Ambrose & Co., has re
ceived application for bids from
a firm in lowa who want a bill of
Georgia pin''. Prices have been
quoted and the probability is that
the Lawrenceville firm will get
the contract.
This is the season of the year
when the patent medicine men
call on the newspaper publisher
for the best space in his paper at
starvation rates. The News-Her
ald has adopted a rule requiring
them to pay for what they get if
they do business with us—and we
don’t care much if they do or not.
Lawrenceville can boast of some
of the finest milch cows in the
state. Joe Byrd has one giving
four gallons of rich Jersey milk a
day, and Mr. Watkins has one
giving just as much. He had the
ntisfortune to lose one recently
that gave near five gallons a day.
Among the Lawrencevillites
who attended commencement ex
ercises at Perry-Rainey College at
Auburn Sunday were, Miss Anna
Winn, Miss Leise Vose, Miss Kister
Born. Miss Ora Bloodworth, Miss
Ruth Moar, Miss Mary Mitchell,
Messrs. J. A. Perry, Cliff Rodgers.
Wesley Clower, Paul Vose, Bud
Ewing, Willis Holland, and Dr
John M. Jacobs.
Mr. W. S. Witham, while here
this week, donated $lO to the Odd
Fellows’ hall and $25 to the new
Baptist church, tor which he has
the thanks of our people. Mr.
Witham is always doing such
deeds of philanthropy with will
ing heart and hand, and if others
would only emulate his example
there would be more sunshine and
happiness in this old world.
The closing exercises of Law
renceville City School came off at
the auditorium Thursday and
Fridav nights of last week. I hurs
day night was devoted to the pri
mary grades, and the little folks
certainly acquitted themselves
with credit, showing that they had
had careful training by their
teachers. Friday night the older
students rendered their parts, to
the entire satisfaction of the large
audience that had gathered to
witness the exercises. Through
out, the program was excellently
and entertainingly rendered, and
the patrons of the school were
profuse in their praise of Prof.
Bagwell and his assistants for the
work they had done during the
session of the spring term. Prof.
Bagwell has been re-elected as
Principal for another year, as has
also Mrs. Houston and Mrs. Ex
um, his able assistants. During
the spring term the attendance
was large, but doubtless will be
increased at the fall term, for the
people of the surrounding territory
are beginning to appreciate the
merits of the Lawrenceville City'
School, and will avail themselves
of the opportunity to send their
children here to receive an educa
tion.

Gilbert Morris, the negro boy
who was mentioned in our last
week’s issue as having been ar
rested on the charge of public in
decency, was taken before Judge
Winn, of the City court, Monday
afternoon for trial. Mrs. Benton
swore positively as to the negro’s
guilt, and her testimony being
unimpeached, there was nothing
to do but to find him guilty.
Judge Winn imposed a fine of SSO
and cost, or an alter ative of 12
mouths in the chaiugang. An ef
fort is being made to pay him out.

The twin infant boys of Mr. and
Mrs. John Clay Smith died at
their home in Atlanta Thursday
night of last week, and were
brought to Lawrenceville on Fri
day and interred in the old ceme
tery. They were two months old
and their fond and loving parents
are prostrated with grief at their
sudden and unexpected death.
They expired both at about the
same moment, and a singular in
cident was that the clock on the
mantel ceased to tick the time
just as death claimed the last
victim. The attending physician
gave the cause of death as catarrh
of the stomach. In their grief
the parents have the sympathy of
all our people, Mr. Smith having
formerly lived here.
It seems that the News-Herald
dropped into an error last week
in stating that the Lawrenceville
negroes had held a secret meeting
in which they “plotted against
the whites.” The secret meeting
was the regular meeting of the
colored Odd Fellows, and Rev.
Lnmar, one of the colored minis
ters, assures us that no iucendiary
talk was engaged in that night
toward the white people. A ma
jority of the colored people of the
town are law-abiding, industrious
and well behaved citizens, and re-
alize that the white people are I
their main-stay and friends, and!
they desire to live hi peace and
harmony with them. That a few
insolent, no-account negroes live
here is true, but their loud and
obnoxious talk is condemned as
strongly by the best element of
their race as it is by the best white
citizens. The News-Herald has no
desire to misrepresent any one,
white or black, and we are glad to
state that the secret meeting re
ferred to turns out to be as above
stated. Our information was ob
| tained from what we considered a
reliable source, but the parties
were mistaken about it.
Ice Cream Festival.
’ The ladies of the Baptist church
will give an ice cream festival to
nigh (Friday) at the home of
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Ambrose.

m CHARITY OF SILENCE.
1 |{csf»e«'t fully Derthatfd to Our CrlUea.)
An esteemed contemporary dives
down intb a well of truth and
brings this pear! of the first water
up; .
“The man who gets mail at what the
newspaper says about him should re
turn thanks three times a day for what
the papers know about him and don’t
say.”
Undoubtedly there are those who
have a genuine grievance against
the newspapers, but they are few.
As a rule, as the Memphis Scimi
tar says, when a man is heard de
claiming against the press, ani
mus may be ascribed to one of two
causes—either he has asked a fa
vor of the paper and has been re
fused, or he or sonv relation or
friend of his has been detected in
some discreditable action and the
facts have been published. If the
press made a habit of hunting up
and printing scandals about pri
vate persons, as these disgruntled
persons allege, there would be
weeping and wailing aud gnashing
cf teeth in manv families where
all is apparently serene.
There is always enough of that
sort of thifig afloat to fill a column
or two, and the papers are often
blamed for not printing it, the
criticism usually coming from per
sons who have a private grudge to
feed the exposure of one or more
of the parties to the scandal.
Few newspapers take any satis
faction in publishing such matter,
and the greater majority of them
refrain from using it until it be
comes a legitimate news item and
can no longer be ignored.
The Btories that are suppressed
in the average newspaper office out
of consideration for the feeling of
innocent parties who would be
grieved and humiliated by the
publication of them, would fill a
good size volume every year.—Au

I his store has been established for eighteen years. It
was an unusual store from the first; a store that represented
all that was latest and best in all lines of goods. At the
opening we determined that the people of Suwanee and
vicinity should buy their goods cheaper. We believed that
by selling close we could command a much larger trade,
and that little profit on the many was better than large
profit on the few. We cut prices on almost every article
of stock and let people know it. The response was imme
diate. Our trade has expanded ever since, until now the
volume of business is equal to that of a dozen ordinary
stores. With large business has come opportunities for
saving. Recently we added our G-reatCut Price Bar
gain Annex. Goods are bought in wholesale quantities
for cash. By this method we often buy large lots of goods
at half price. See the advantage this gives us over small
stores who buy small lots and on long time ?

who can got it this week, you may
be one of the four who can’t get
it next week ?
That your breath and your lia
bilities don’t end at the same time?
That only one Fire I’olicy in
1,260 ever becomes a claim, while
every Life I’olicy is bound to ma
ture ?
That a Life Insurance Policy is
a will, that no lawyer can set
aside ?
That neighborly sympathy for
the widow is good; but the Com
pany’s draft is better ?
That the greatest proteetionists
in this country do the most to
ward protecting their families?
That the most worthless assets
ever found in any man’s estate,
are his good intentions ?
That modern experiments have
demonstrated beyond a question,
that there is no fuel equal to a
Life Insurance Policy, for heating
a widow’s cottage ?
That you don’t mean that you
will take the chances, but that you
will Jet your family take the
chances ?
That if it is nip and tuck for
you to support the family, tuck
will have the best of it when your
wife comes to do it ?

out of every 100 who make a fail
ure in life ?
That next year’s dollars are made
out of this year’s dimes ?

satisfactory results than a dime
invested in a cigar stand ?

have of success in life, will be
