Tom Jennings on* morning »t®» IW>«» bS»
bed t
And complained very anb of an aeh. in
hia head; ~
Said ha, “I belie'* every bone «> »y body
Ii crying aload for a glam of ram toddy.
Joat then he remembered a pledge he had
taken
Laat night, ere hie head and his bonec began
aching:
#* I swear by old Burrhus, the friend of the
I’ll not touoh a drop of ram toddy to-day.’.
He pnt en his pants with the waist on tho
floor.
He put on his coat wi'h tho wrong sido be
fore,
no buttoned his collar with both ends be
hind,
He pnt on his boots, said he, “Hang it, I
find
The shoemaker "a made a mistake, for I
feel
There’s ne room for the toes, and too much
for the heel!”
He put on hit shirt and hit Test with a
grant,
And lo ! he had gotten the wrong side in
front!
He put on his cap, his crarat, and bis pin.
In position reversed; and way down to his
chin
Ho combed his red locks, and ha looked at
his bod;
Said he, “I hare slept with my feet o’er my
head !"
Said he, ‘Til be snitched if I erer saw
clothes
(Here he felt at the back of his head for his
nose)
Made up so quecrly ; I’ll go to my tailor
and tell him at once
That he measured a gentleman—not a poor
dunce.”
Just then a quart bottle that stood on the
shelf
Said, “Blamo not the tailor—you’re sure
not yourself;”
Said Tom, “You black imp, be still, or I’ll
make
You said the bottle to Tom, “Come, what
will you take ?”
I bade them good morning, the bottle and
Jem —
I ne'er knew cither the last word had non ;
But ’twas told me next day by his friends,
in a Sutter,
That Tom and the bottle were found in tho
gutter!
And they furthermore said, but I thought
they were jesting,
That Tom put the people of A in a
roar
Os laughter, for when anybody addressed
him
He would bow from behind, instead of be

Stove and House Furnishing Goods.
THE UNDERSIGNED BEG AGAIN AT THE OPENING OF THE SEVENTEENTH
YEAR of the existence of our House io the
STOW ID HOUSE FURNISHING
Trade, in its present position, to present its facilities and claims upon that patronage that
has, for many years past, placed it far in advance of all competitors.
STOVES.—In this department our stock is so large and varied that newspaper enu
merating in detail is impracticable. As our leading
FIRST CLASS COOK STOVE,
WE OFFER THE
“GOOD SAMARITAN”
Which is indicated by the above eut. This Stove we have been selling for six years past,
in every case with PERFECT SATISFACTION to the buyer, and in beauty of desigu,
perfect adaptation to all tbe requirements of a
PERFECT AND COMPLETE COOK STOVE,
it stands to-day without a rival, as an inspection will convince the most careful exam
iner. Among our other Cook Stoves we enumerate the
“QUEEN OF THE SOUTH,” “MARION,”
“HARVEST QUEEN,” “RED JACKET,” Etc., Etc.
All these are FIRST CLASS STOVES, well known throughout Georgia and Soulh
Carolina. We have also a large variety of medium and second class goods in this line,
warranted to PERFORM WELL, but lighter weight and less expensive than those
enumerated.
HOUSE FURNISHING GOODS.—Our stock in this department is so LARGE and
varied, so well known duriig our long existence here, consisting of
PLAIN, PLANISHED, AND JAPANNED TINWARE.
WOOD, WILLOW,
AND
HOUSE FURNISHING HARDWARE. E!c-,
that wo deem special enumeration entirely unnecessary. No pains will be spared to sus
tain the reputation, in this connection, that has, for sixteen years past, been so fully ac
corded us.
MANUFACTURING. —Strict attention will, as heretofore, be given in our EX
TENSIVE WORKSHOPS to everything pertaining to this department of onr trade. In
this branch of onr business we promise NOTHING NEW. That same punctuality and
care for details that has been a well known characteristic of tbis House in times past will
be rigidly observed and continued.
TIN ROOFING.—Owing to the general stagnation in mercantile affairs just now,
we shall, MORE TUAN EVER, give our closest Bnd most ENERGETIC ATTENTION
to all kinds of
Heavy Out Doors "W'ork
in our line. Onr faeilities and way of doing things in this connection are pretty wall
known. We GUARANTEE, for any REASONABLE TIME, all work done by us,
and we are pleaded to find, as oar rapidly increasing patronage in tbis dilection abun
dantly attests, that tbe public are beginning to appreciate Ibis guarantee, and to find
that it means JUST WHAT IT CARRIES ON ITS FACE WITHOUT DISCOUNT.
