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.

Nathan Ben nett’s home. Both horses are “swift” and the race promises to be interesting. 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. WARM PRICES FOR THE HOT SEASON. In order to reduce our large stock of Ladies’ Dress Goods we have marked down prices. 20c Lawns at 12|c 15c “ at 10c 10c “ at 7|c Linen Crash 6c Other summer goods at corres pondingly hot prices. The Evans-Cooper Co. 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. ' Everybody invited. 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 gusta Herald.

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.

That only one man in five can get old line insurance, and while you may he thp one es the five who can got it this week, you may be one of the four who can’t get it next week ?

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 ? That you may be one of the 97 out of every 100 who make a fail ure in life ? That next year’s dollars are made out of this year’s dimes ? That a dime invested in an En dowment Policy will yield more satisfactory results than a dime invested in a cigar stand ? That the first evidence you may have of success in life, will be when your Endowment Policy ma tures. That it takes a cyclone to lift the house off the farm, hut it takes a Life Insurance Policy to lift the mortgage ? That Life Insurance can briefly be summed up as a matter of dol lars and sense ?
