SUMMERVILLE NEWS |1 00 Per Year In Advance. J. W, CAIN, Editor and Proprietor. EDNA CAIN, Associate Editor. Summerville, Ga., Nov 4, 1896. Entered at Summerville P. O. as sec osd class matter And the w..iter conies on apace. The demagogue and jawsmilh are now out of a job. ► —♦ The campaign just closed has been one of fusion, refusion, effu sion and confusion. Atlanta is threatened with a wa t »r famine and the milkmen are in great distress. T-r-r Cobb has repented of his folly and come back home to the Democrats. ■ -♦ 11 1 ■' ■■■ Whether Bryan wins or not he has made the most remarkable campaign of any man who was ever a candidate for president. ► —•- Human nature as developed around the political pie counter, is an interesting if not profitable study. ♦ »»—>- ■ There are a whole lot of people who have jest found out how much they didn’t know about the elec tion. A defaulting treasurer of Ohio was named Legg but he could not get away. The authorities “pull ed” him. ■ The gentle humor and sage phi losophy of the paragrapher on the Augusta Herald is splendid. There is never a dull issue, editorially of that paper. Georgia pays to her wounded and indignent soldiers and sold iers’ widows the sum of $545,140. This sum goes to nearly 10,000 pensioners. And they’ve started an ear fac tory up north. Well, nature has been very economical with some people we know in the matter of ears. ——• <1 - ♦ • It is supposed that one reason why old Satan is constantly going up and down the earth is because they make it too hot for the old man to stay at home. It is said that the Populists will put out candidates for the supreme court judgeships, and the names of Judge Hines and Walter B. Hill have been mentioned in that con nection There is a very decided improve ment in the Columbus Enquirer- Sun of late and a glance at the ad vertising pages of that paper would seem to indicate that the publish ers are reapinf ths fruits of their enterprise. While the Populist-prohibition candidate for governor was de feated by a large majority, the cause of temperance has taken no backward step. It is stronger, to day. and in safer and more secure hands, than ever before. Verily, yea verily, the Demo cratic party in Georgia has had* some heavy burdens to bear and it seems that the worst has not come yet. —Rome Commercial. What about the men who go into Democratic primaries and then knife the nominees at every turn? Oh. consistency ! There is one thing for which the farmers of this section are to be congratulated, and that is the fact that for the last few years they have raised their meat and bread at home. As a result of this wise course they are in better condition financially, than for many years past. There is said to be more hogs in the country this fall than usual, and the outlook for hog and hominy for another year is all right. As to Advertising. Some merchants seem to hold to the opinion that every dollar spent in advertising is just that much thrown away; or if not that, just so much contributed to the publisher of,the paper because he is always hard up and needy. If these people will glance over the advertising pages of the Rome, Atlanta or Chattanooga papers they will see how badly they are mistaken. Take, for instance, four or five of the leading firms in Rome, who do the bulk of the dry goods busi ness, and they are all liberal ad vertisers. They know that prin ter’s ink judiciously used, is a won derful aid m drawing trade, and they act accordingly. The shrewd, wide awake mer chants of Atlanta do not pay $125 a page for a single issue in the Journal or Constitution, for char ity’s sake. It is strictly a matter of business. When they pay these seemingly exorbitant prices for advertising space, they expect, and receive large returns from the out lays; and the very fact that they keep up this line of policy of lib eral expenditure fer advertising purposes from year to year is the best evidence possible that it pays them handsomely. There is a lesson in these busi ness facts that we believe the mer chants of Summerville might profit by. It is true that some of them are reasonably liberal on this line, but others are not, and we cannot but believe that a different line of policy would be better, both for them and the home paper. The merchants here are enter prising to a degree in the matter of keeping full and complete stocks of all the latest and most desira ble goods in all lines of trade in demand in this section. As a rule they keep a better and more stylish line of goods than can be found in any town of its size in all north Georgia. They have all the facil ities for buying them as cheap as they can be bought by any one, and with these advantages they are in a position to reach out all over the country for that class of trade that wants a better grade of goods than can usually be found in the country stores. And right here is where the ben efits of advertising comes in. The News covers an area of territory contiguous to Summerville, yet the trade of which does not nearly all come here. Now a large per centage of this trade might be se cured by proper and judicious ef fort. To do this it is necessary to keep your business prominently before the public. Tell them in "the pa per, in black faced type, of the splendid line of goods you carry, and of the bargains you can give them. Show them that your stock is fuller and more complete than elsewhere, and than that they Lave a much larger and more elegant line of goods to select from. In this way the area of trade could be extended over a considerable section of country which now does its trading mainly elsewhere. The News is now in position to give its advertising patrons better service than ever before. New’and attrative faces of type have been added; better and heavier paper is being used, and altogether the make up and contents of the paper are such as to make its advertising pages more valuable. Now a word in conclusion : Try a nice display ad in the News, coupled with judicious and timely reading notices in the local col umns and see if it don’t pay you handsomely. If it does not then the experience of the leading and most successful merchants in the country goes for naught. The newspapers are now volun teering much valuable advice to the legislators. Whenever a Populist becomes convinced that it is to his interest to return to the Democratic party the way ought to be made pleasant for him. Let it be understood that there is a light in the window for all of the prodigals. YESTERDAY’S ELECTION. Nothing Definite As to the Gene ral Result. The election yesterday passed off very quietly in this county. The results were as follows: w 2 2 § q t * Snm’erville 250 160 258 101 52 Coldwater 71 51 65 51 10 Lyerly 52 13 43 922 Dirttown 101 72 85 69 30 Subligna 69 29 41 20 35 Haywood 46 3 39 110 Alpine 76 26 58 18 39 Trion 107 107 105 48 84 Seminole 51 19 47 229 Dirtseller 28 9 20 00 19 Teloga 60 3 48 00 18 Total 911 489 812 235 338 Atlanta.—lndications point to the election of the Democratic electorial ticket by 35,000 majori ty in this state. It is probable that the entire cungressional rep resentation will be Democratic, with the possible exception of the Tenth district, where West, the law’ partner of Thomas E. Watson, is giving William 11, Fleming, the Democratic nominee, a close race. In the First district, Doyle, who was postmaster at Savannah dur ing Harrison’s administration, is leading in Chatham, the county which gave the largest Democratic majority in the recent state elec tion. The result there will be very close, but the other counties in that district will probably give Lester, Democrat, a majority great enough to insure his election. In the other districts the Demo crats will get increased majorities. Notice. A convention of the people of Chattooga county is hereby called to meet at the court house in Summerville on Saturday, Nov. 14th, 1896, for the purpose of elect ing two delegates to the convention to be held in Atlanta, Nov. 18th, to nominate candidates for judges of the Supreme court.

Read pr'iir jg this letter: “Hood’s Sar US sapa ri 11 a helped me wonderfully, changed sickness to health, gloom to sun shine. No pen can describe what I suf fered. I was deathly sick, had sick head aches every few days and those terrible tired, despondent feelings, with heart troubles so that I could not go up and Sunshine down stairs without clasping my hand over my heart and resting. In fact, it would almost take my breath away. I suf fered so I did not care to live, yet I had much to live for. There is no pleasure in life if deprived of health, for life becomes a burden. Hood’s Sarsaparilla does far more than advertised. After taking one bottle, it is sufficient to recommend itself.” Mbs. J. E. Smith, Beloit, lowa. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is the One True Blood Purifier.
