6/YSffr Versus CREDIT.
WHICH SYSTEM IS BEST?
A friend said recently: “If you sold on credit your sales
would be much larger.”
True; but before adopting the credit system we would have
to mark up the price of every article in the store from 25 to
50 per cent Had you thought of that?
We sell vou goods at a close profit; turn the money over
often, and in this way make as much as though wo sold on
credit at old prices. Better for us ; better for you.

Messrs. 11. B. Kirby, Wesley Shrop
shire, John Elder and others, returned
from the Park last Saturday. They
report that the prices paid for govern
ment rou.es and horses was unreason
ably high, ind it was a frequent occur
rence for a careless or excited bidder
to get a horse or mule that was well
nigh worthless from disease. The sale
partook of much of the characteristic
excitement and crazy judgment of the
“town boom” period a few years ago.
The News is informed of quite a lot
of guano trade that was lost to the
town of Summerville by reason of the
almost impassable condition of the
public road east of the Lowe farm.
Some farmers came to Summerville
from Dirttown for the express pur
pose of hauling back guano, and when
they found the road in such wretched
condition they went back with empty
wagons, and later went to Rome. If
the merchants of the town expect to
increase their trade, or even hold that
they now have, it will be necessary to
be a little more wide awake to their
interests than this. The tide of trade,
like the current of steam, is easily
turned aside, and is often difficult to
get back again.

We are sorry to report that, in our
opinion, crime is on the increase in
our county—caused mainly by the ille
gal sale of intoxicants. We have spent
much time and energy in ferreiting
out t hese evil doeis, and have made all
the presentments we thought it proper
to make.—Extract from report of
Whitfield county grand jury, published
last week.
John White, a white boy of about
fourteen, and a little son of Mr. Shep
herd, of near Menlo, engaged in a dif
ficu’ty last Friday, in which the Shep
herd boy was rather seriously hurt by
a blow on the head from a stick in the
hands of White. The White boy was
arrested on a charge of assault and
battery and was bound over tn court,
the bond being fixed at SSO. Bailiff
J. S. Majors brought him to town Sat
urday morning and put him m jail, but
that afternoon a bondsman was se
cured and the boy released.
Several car loads of berry crates have
already been shipped into this county
to be used in shipping this season’s
crop of berries. Next year the demand
for peach and berry crates will, with
out doubt, be very large, and there is
a splendid opening right here in Sum
merville for some hustling, enterpris
ing young man Io put up a crate fac
tory. But this will hardly be done.
Our people will more liKely sit down
supinely ana buy from others atagood
profit a product that could just as well
have been made at home. This latter
course is, at least, in keeping with the
usual lack of enterprise on the part of
our people.
Capt. J. W. Rivers slated to the
News man last Saturday' that he re
members well the 15th of April, 1849,
just fifty years ago, at which time
enough snow fell to cover the ground.
Wheat was heading out and some of it
in bloom, and was very large and tine:
the white oak leaves were nearly
grown; and these, and all other vege
tation was killed by the snow, and the
five nights of frost that succeeded it.
The spring had been warm and early,
and vegetation more than usually ad
vanced until caught by the April snow
and blizzard. But Capt. Rivers thinks
the past winter a record breaker in re
gaid to the delay of farm work.
An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

A. 8. Hinton.
The family of Mr. G. D. Hollis re
moved to Rome last Thursday, where
they will live in future. The News in
common wiili m ny friends here, re
grets to see them leave, but wishes
them happiness and prosperity in their
new home.
Dr. J. T. Roan slated to the News
man Saturday that he used to be well
acquainted with Mr. Alfred Cranford,
of near Palmetto, who some days ago
was most brutally mnrdcred by Sam
i.olt, and also Mrs. Cranfo d, who war
criminally assaulted by the same negro.
He says the Cranford family is a most
excellent one, and was known far and
wide for the clever, honorable and hos
pitable traits of its members. lie says
that a brother of Mr. Elijah Cranford
was murdered some years ago by a ne
gro, who promptly suffered punish
ment for his crime at the hands of a
party of lynchers.
Serious and continued complaint has
been made by country people coming
to town of the bad condition of the
public road back of the Baptist church
and near the corporate limits. The
road is said to be so badly washed as
to be well nigh impassable, and if this
is true it ought to be remedied at once.
If the merchants of the town expect
the trade of the farmers in the sur
rounding country they ought to see to
it that the roads are kept in good con
dition.
