ALBANY, GEORGIA, OCTOBER 2, 1879.
A smart school boy says it takes
thirteen letters to spell cow, and
proves it thus: "See O! double von."
And his friend stave him one of
those fine suits of clothes at Mayer’s
Corner, for being so smart.
A late book is entitled “Half Hours
With Insects." What a lively hall-
hour one can have with a Ilea!
A half hour at S. Mayer & Glau
ber's store, is better than a peep into
a Ccutciihinl exhibition building. (Jo
end see the beautiful goods!

It takes more energy and business
tact to pass a bogus live cent piece
than it does to’er-m a good quarter.
No bogus money taken lor good
at Mayer \ dauber's, but a good,
square nickel will work wonders
there.
"Fact is," said Smith. “I intended
to return your book a month ago:
but iirowi. .--uu \l otitny .al.V.ai.d l.e
begged so hr.. 1 . 1 that I lent it to him.
•fust as soon as he returns it. I'll bring
it home!” “I see,” said Robinson,
more in sorrow than in anger, "this i>
a case of book-keeping by double
lentry.”
Smith ought to treat Robinson to a
fine hat, which can be found at S.
Mayer ft Glauber's.

There is some humor in Texas.—
The other day a man brought out a
forlorn, spavined-looking steed, and
addressed the spectators thus: “Fel
low citizens, this is the famous - horse,
Dandy Jack. Look at him. He is
perfect. If he were sent to the horse-
maker nothing could be done for him.
Wrfpt shall I have for the matchless
eteefk?'£ s ‘!J£hat will yon take for
hip}.?" -veiled thqcrowd. “Two hua-
<Ircd dpaark.” “Give you $5.” “Tako
him.,- I uiver Jet *195..stand between
me add any none thide? «. That’s bus
iness.
’ And then the buyer went straight
to 8. Slayer & Glauber's,'"aid select
ing one of those fine ueW'saddles and
bridles, and a beautiful set of harness,
sold the horse at a profit of $200.

The latest vara about fast time is to
the effect that on a certain- American
railroad a vonng man- pnt his head
oot of the car window to kiss his girl
good-bye, when the train went ahead
so rapidly that he kissed an old Afri
can female at the next station.
And Mayer ft Glauber’s clerks
fiy around and wait upon customers
as rapidly as that, but not in such a
manner.
A story is going the rounds of the
press, called “A son tarns op after 25
years’ absence.” We have often seen
a son tornod up alter an hour’s ab
sence; and never thonght anything
about it—Boston Post How could
. you see when you were facing down
ward?
If his pants are worn out, he should
have a new pair from S. Mayer ft
Glauber.

A man in Kansas, who represented
himselfas'a“practical farmer,"visftM
all the fairs with a prize pumpkin,
and took the premiums every dime,—
It measured »o« , en feet arom\jl\and
j weighed two hundred and.-Tfiirty
pounds. Several days ago, at Oaun-
cil Grove, a rival farmer attempted
to tap the pumpkin, in the absence Of
its owner, to get some of the sect’s,
and be discovered that it was made
of wood. This beats the ingenious
Connect'cut invention of bass-wood
cucumber seed.
Dr. Lusbington being told a story
said: “Since yon were an eye witness
I am bound to believe It;, but! would
nut bciic-c it if i had seen it myself.”
He ought to call at S. Mayer ft
Glauber's store, and see those beau
tiful goods and low- prices. Seeing
is believing what we tell you about
Mayer ft Glauber’s store.
The rustic whose ginger-bread it
annually stolon by the elephant was
at the circus last week, and this time
when the appetizing comfit was sud
denly snatched from his band he shook
his first at the huge thief and yelled,
while the- tears conned down his
cheeks, “Darn yer. ye donble-tailed
fool, give that back here or I’ll knock I
yer two front teeth down yer old
throat.”
Poor fellow, he ronld have been
supplied with anything in.the eating
line at S. Mayer ft Glauber’s, who
keep a fall stock of groceries and
family supplies.
An exquisite, leading a dog by a
string, lounged up to the ticket-office
window of a railway station and in
quired : “Must I—aw—take a ticket
fora puppy?” He wasnaturallyboth
surprised and annoyed when the tiefc-
ct-sellcr answered, in a slightly be
wildered tone, after a moment's re
flection : “No, you can travel as an
ordinary passenger.”
Don’t yon see ? Goods were so high
in his town that he couldn’t afford to
wear a decent suit of clothes. ' He

At a legal investigation of a liquor
seizure the judge asked an unwilling
w itness: "What was in the barrel that
you had?” The reply was: "Well,
your honor, it was marked ‘whiskey’
on one end of the barrel and ‘Pat Duf-
' fey on the other end, so that I enn’t
say whether it was whiskey or Pat
Duffcy, in ‘the barrel, being as I am
on my oath-
Mayer ft Glauber keep a much bet
ter brand of liquor than “Pot Duffey,”
and the very scent of it would have
convinced the Judge that it is not
adulterated. They are the only whole
sale liquor dealers Sontb of Macon
and west of Savannah.
One of Horace Greeley's letters,
written sonic twenty years ago in re
gard to the Maine politicians, has re
cently been going the rounds. He
says of them that they are “thievish
and beggarly—a poor lot and will
swallow aM the funds they can get
hold of.”

A Certain Mrs. Potts has bee*
walking on » wager of five thousand
dollars, from New York to New Or
leans and baric again. She was yes
terday at Richmond, on her return
trip, and said she had met with noth
ing but kindness all the way. Thera
are not many countries on this terres
trial ball where a woman could walk
three thousand miles without moles
tation ; and is it not Strange that one
of those countries should be this much
maligned Southern country of our*—
so disorderly, so barbarous, so ruffian
ly you know. Brethren, how can
these things be?—Macon Telegraph.
Commenting ou Mr-iSyart’s Mor
mon circular to the European govern
ments, the London Examiner says:
“The morality -of this circular is ad
mirable; its logic is lamentable.” It
adds: “It would he a gross infringe
ment of the liberty of man or womaa
were he or she to be prevented going
to any country simply because there
might be a suspicion against him or
her iu the direction of bigamy.”

When the editors of the Okolona
States and the Lemar Sentinel wero
introduced the other day, they each
took three steps backwards, and for
some minutes glared upon each other
like fierce Numidian lions. The Ok
olona howler was the first to Had
words, and sold:
“What!
And it’B thou ?
Come then, bastard,
Let me have at thee,
And by the Gods,'
That roast on high Olympus
I’ll eat thee up '
In a holy second t
Ughl
Big Injun me!”
The Royal Bengal Badger of the
Sentinel displayed his tangs, and re
joined with bis native ferocity:
“I thank the Gods
For this opportunity
To call thee
To thy TEETH,
Liar!
Iiippograff!
Hipjmpotamus!
Shyster!
And baldhcaded snipe of the val-
O, come and see me,
And IU mop the ground
With vour miserable carcass—
Thou—thou—thou—
Three ply
Aud doubly dyed
Horsc-thiel',
And son of a gnn!”
But ti e Okolona howler didn’t
come. A by-stander had seized the
hem of his coat-tail between the tipa
of Ids thumb and his finger, and held
him securely. So thankful was the
Iowa man ihat things turned out aa
they did, that he went ont and breath
ed a silent prayer to heaven.
The new two-ceut postal card baa
made its appearauce. It has two
stamps—one at each end—and space
for two messages. The sender occu
pies one of these, and the return cor
respondent the other. One stamp ia
canceled at the office from which it
is sent, and the other from the office
from whicli it is returned. The cards
will soon be in general circulation.
Gov. Colquitt and General Gordo*
will speak at the Monroe county Fair.
