often is
Don't buy until you know some
thing about the make and grade of
the Watch-the fact that it has a
guarantee in it is not enough. Do
you accept a mans note without con-
slderfng its value? Do you accept a
deed for farm or piece of real es-
tate without knowing it is genuine?
One lick with hammer will stamp
guarantee in watch case. The
Office boy can hit the stamp.
Few know that the number of lew

grade or cost For instance, did you
know that the Elgin watch factory
makes six movements, all the same
size, with the same number of Jew
els, and all different price?

NEED A KICKING MACHINE.
Some Calhoun Farmers Who Sold
Cotton Won't Come Across.

COTTON wont Come Across.
The Arlington Courier of Friday
copied the article in the last issue of
The News about Noah Johnson, the
well-known negro farmer of the
Third district of Terrell county, pay
ing Dawson cotton firm $3.50 in
cash to be released from a trade he
made with them last summer where
by he was to deliver so bales in Oc-
tober for 10 cents pound, and add
ed this concerning the situation bear
ing on the same subject in that Sec
ton:
THE Courier learns that one Ar
lington farmer the other day paid
$500 and another paid $500 to be
released from trades they made. 1t is
also said that some of our farmers
who sold in advance for October de-
livery have failed to make the deliv-
cry and refuse either to do so or pay
the difference, claiming to have legal
advice that they cannot be forced to
do so. This, we think, is wrong, and
those farmers who made a contract
in the summer that turned out bad
for them should be bound morally, if
not legally, to comply with it.

SIGNS OF MELANCHOLY DAYS.
The Trees Are Stripping Themselves
of Their Golden Raiment.

The Trees Are Stripping Themselves
of Their Golden Raiment.
The leaves are beginning to fall.
and the melancholy days have come.
For the past several days has been
noticed an effort by a number of
trees to strip themselves of their
summer coat of green, assisted by
the cool, gentle breezes blowing
from the sea. The chinaberry trees
are perhaps the first to surrender a
part of their leaves in order to enter
on the sleep of the long winter
months.
1t is peculiarly true that the falling
of the autumn leaves should cause
ia feeling among humankind that a
decided transition is taking place,
and that the melancholy days are
being gradually ushered in. Thoughts
of future cold, football, college and
school, sweethearts, mothers, faith
ers, sisters and brothers at Christ
mastide and divers other things
creep in
Surely when the gentle zephyrs of
the summer change to the bracing
breezes of fall and the leaves begin
to futter to the ground
The. melancholy days have come.
The saddest of the year. -

Hand Shot Off.

Jim Turner, a well-known negro,
had one of his hands shot almost into
shreds with a gun Saturday night.
Turner, who had INDUCED quite
freely in tiger juice and nigh beer,
said he accidentally did it himself.
He refused to let the hand be ampu-

die while under the influence of chic
reform, as another negro did some

Geise's Pharmacy
LIKE TO GETYOUR MONEY OUT;

We have found quite number of
people in this section who remark
that they would like to have a good
watch if they had their money out
of the one they have. Some have
even shown a willingness to discount
literally.
Our Advice Is:
Don't get your money into things
which you will want to get it out
of. If you trade with us and follow
that you wont want your money
out, as we know few to whom we
have sold watches who would sell
for what they gave, for fear the next
wont be as good.
We have been notified by the Wal
than Watch Company that from
now on their watches can only be got
ten from Exclusive Retail JeweIrs,
and that mail order houses or side
line dealers can not get them.
II yau want to find a satisfied man
