To Subscribers.
As the money season is approach
ing, we take occasion to ask our
subscribers who arc in arrears not
to forget their subscription account
while the season is passing.
Ve carried over quite a number
of subscribers last winter, and have
accommodated you by letting you
have the paper again this year on
credit. Now we simply ask that
you accommodate us during the Fall,
as you get your cotton into market.
Most of you owe us one year’s sub
scription, and some owe us for a
longer time. So do not forget us
the coming season when you get
your money. Don’t wait to be
called upon for it, for it is
impossible for us to see all, but call
on us third door above entrance to
Andrews Hotel. The amount you
owe us is small, but we need it and
it will help us, and help in need is
help indeed.
If you live at a distance, remit by
postal note, post office money order,
or registered letter.
On the upper margin of this paper
is pasted the printed slip containing
your name and the date to which
you are paid. If you are the only
subscriber at your post-oflioe, the
slip is on the wrapper. By glancing
at it, you can see exactly bow you
stand.
Frames made to order, at lowest
figures, at Bchaub’s Art Gallery.

Kev. Abner IS. Callaway.
This old citizen of LaGraDge, after
an Illness of two or three week,
yielded to the ravages of disease on
Saturday, at 0 o’clock, p. m., and fell
into the slumber of the just. Hemet
the last enemy in his right mind and
without fear. He even expressed a de
sire to go.
Mr. Callaway was born in Wilkes
co., iu 1832, and early dedicated him
self to tbe work of tbe ministry in the
Baptist church. While yet a young
man he moved to tbe vicinity of
Greenville, Meriwether county,
where he taught the Hyperion school
for young men, farmed, and preached
to surrounding churches. In 18G5, he
became a resident of LaGrange. He
was, for a time, a professor in the
Southern Female College. Educated
at Mercer Utdvorslty, ne was a pro
found student of God’s word and was
well instructed in its doctrines. He
was especially conversant with the
usages aud order of his church, and
was a wise administrator of the pasto
ral office. As a peacemaker between
alienated brethren, he was tactful
and successful, and in the good work
of restoring unity to distracted
churches he bad few equals.
But it was as a preacher of tho gos
pel that Mr. Callawa.; gained his
chief distinction. In his palmy days
he was justly regarded as one of the
most brilliant and effective ministers
%>f his denomination in the State. On
great occasions, such as association-
al gatherings tnd revival meetings,
his powers shone in their fulness and
orten with great results in the ad
vancement of the cause of Christ.
His sermons woro well prepared, were
systematic, logical, scriptural, and of
ten eloquent.
On account of afflictions, for many
years previous to his death ho was
not in the active weak of his calling,
but, hut on occasion, he showed that
the old fire still burned, if with some
what diminished glow, and many
were helped by his prayers
and edified by his expositions of the
Scriptures.
Mr. Callaway was, at oue time,
quite wealthy, but of late years mis
fortunes had befallen him, as they
have many others, and bis once fine
estate was greatly reduced.
He was twice married, tbe first
time to Miss Hewnrd, of Lexington,
the second, to Miss Ely, of Atlanta.
The latter, with eight children of
both marriages, survives him.
On Sunday afternoon, the funeral
took place at the Baptist church in
the presence of one of the largest con
gregations ever assembled iu that
edifice. Many had to turn away, una
ble to find seats. Revs. G. 8. Tum-
lin and S. P. Callaway ^conducted the
services.’
As the golden light of the Sabbath
sunset was falling on dome and spire
—a quiet, holy hour-his body was
towered into its last resting place in a
beautiful sward of Hill View, a pray
er was offered, and the veteran min
ister, so long a familiar figure among
us, was left in the calm sleep of the
righteous dead till Jesus shall come
to gather His own.
Ladies,—We actually sell cloaks
that cost $20.00, to make at $7 50.
Don’t think this impossible. We al
ways have what we advertise. This
is a panic purchase. We give you the
benefit. A $7.00 cloak for $3.60.

E. R. BRADFIELD,
LaGrange, Ga.
Do you know that it is a tact that my house was
the only one in LaGrange with a buyer for Fall goods
that visited New York, Philadelphia and other East
ern cities, and you know that no one can sit down
here and order a few goods and get the latest styles
and bargains that are offered by the hundred houses
that you visit in the large cities. Well, we were
there, and everybody says, “Mr. Bradfield, you and
Mrs. Beid and Miss Helen Sledge certainly display*
splendid judgment and taste in your selections. Your
goods are pretty and so cheap. I don’t see why
every woman and child can’t be clothed if they will
only look at your stock. Your shelves look fresh
and full of new goods, so different from other houses
who are trying to work off their old stock for higher
prices than we can buy new goods from you, and I
won’t buy them, or advise my friends to buy them,
when they can do so much better with you.” Times
have been a little tight this Summer, but the people
have economized and, when cold weather comes they
must have some Winter goods and I propose to give
them what they want at prices that will please.
Dress Goods, Trimmings, Buttons and Linings.
Everything that could be found in all the large
houses of New York that was new and stylish, and,
for proof that they are stylish, I have shown them
to the leading dressmakers in LaGrange, and they
say that they never saw a lovelier line and at such,
moderate prices. We begin at
5c per yard and offer you Standard Calicoes at that.
We offer you Indigo Blues at 6 and 7c per yari.
We offer you a beautiful line of Turkey Red Grounds
at 7c per yard.
We offer half-wool Cashmere at 10c per yard.
We offer you an elegant line of Dress Goods to select
from at 15c per yard.
Our line at 10c per yard is beautiful.
I wish that you could set some of the beautiful bridal trosseus we are selling. Such hand
some silks. Such lovely wool dresses My assortment is endless. One pattern of a kind, so
in buying of me you will not meet a lady with a dress exactly like yours. Parisian productions.
Silk and woolen mixtures in shaded effects Hopsacking, brown, blues and greens. Scotch
homespun. Black silks, colored silks, and trimmings with every pattern. Come and see this line.
You will also want Hosiery, Gloves, Corsets, Flannels, Notions, etc. 1 have got them and
they were bought cheap and will be sold cheap.
CLOTHING FOR EVERYBODY.
Men’s, youths and children’s. And at any price you can mention. Just think of it, a suit for a boy 12 years old at $1. Nff
trash, but a nice suit. Men’s suits $2.50, $3.50, $5, $7.50 and $10. These are low prices and will catch the people when they
see the goods.
SHOES! SHOES! SHOES!
More than all LaGrange has got, and prices lower than the lowest. I start Shoes at 85c and 90c. up to $5. Ladies’ Shoes
at 75c. Ladies’ slioe9, calf, at $1. Ladies button kid $1.25 and upwards. Men’s brogans at 85c, $1 and $1.25. Men’s Sunday
shoes at $1.25, $1.50 and $2, worth double tho money. Come and see my stock. You will wonder at the quantity of goods l
have to show you and the prices I am selling them. Every week we will offer leuders in every department.
