fore the public in a mouth or six

Patterson Granted New Trial.
Judge Russell heard argument
in the motion for a new trial in
the cases of J. T. Patterson and
John Dalton at chambers in Win
der last Saturday and granted
Patterson a new trial, but Dalton’s
motion was turned down.
It will be remembered that Pat
terson and Dalton were convicted
at the last term of the superior
court held here 1 a week or two ago
and were sentenced to serve ten
and six years respectively.
Patterson led Dalton into at
tempting to wreck the train and
it looks as if Patterson will get out
of it, where Dalton will have to
serve a term of six years in the
penitentiary.
As stated before, legal opinion
seems to be that the verdict and
sentence against Patterson would
not stand and the first victory
looking towards his final release
was secured when the presiding
judge granted him a new trial.
The final outcome of these cases
will be watched with a great deal
of interest.

worst cough, cold, chills and grip
and have taken lots of trash of no
account but profit to the vendor.

the only thing that has done any
good whatever. I have used one
bottle of it and the chills, cold
pnd grip have all left mo. I con
gratulate the manufacturers of an
honest medicine.” For sale by

The lingering cough following
grip calls for One Minute Cough

trouble this is the only harmless
remedy that gives immediate re
sults. Prevents consumption.—

SPRING AND SUMMER CLOTHING.
Spring will soon be here and you will want to la> aside that heavy suit
of vours for a nice spring suit. And in buying, why not buy here, where you
will get something that is new, stylish and up-to-date ? And from
20 TO 30 PER CENT. CHEAPER
than elsewhere ?
There is no doubt about it, I sell clothing cheaper than any store in
north east Georgia.
In the first place, I buy them right; then experience has taught me that
it pays to sell them cheaper than others will do it.
Yours respectfully,
J. H. McGEE.
LAWRENCEVILLE, GA.

A heavy rainstorm, accompanied
by hail, passed over Lawrenceville
Monday night. A good many were
frightened by the wind, lightning
and thunder. Keen flashes of
VOL. VIII. NO‘22
electricity lighted up the heuv* ns
and the rumbling noise made by
the thunder created a scene that
will not soon be forgotten. The
streets were pretty badly washed

plowed lands were considerably
damaged by the excessivo rainfall.
No services were held at the
Methodist church last Sunday
night on account of rain, but that
