Newspaper Page Text2 LANDRAM & BUTLER. TELLING PRICES BY AN AUGUSTA FIRM. MANY CATCHING BARGAINS A House That Has Worlds of Goods at I’rices to Suit the • Hard 'limes. Messrs. Land ram & Butier, the old reliable dry-goods merchants of Au gusta, have •an entertaining an nouncement in to-day’s paper. They are well known to the coun try people trading in Augusta and are such men as The People’s Party Paper can commend unreservedly. They are fair, liberal and reliable. They may may be depended upon at all times to do just what they promise to do, and a customer deal ing with them not only gets the worth of his money e benefits of every bargain that Can be rea sonably be afforded. They have been in business in Augusta —at their present stand about fifteen years and have always been known a< among the leaders in the dry goods trade. They carry a tremen dous stock of dry goods, embracing every novelty and all of the latest styles, and sell at prices that cannot be under-cut. This, however, will be seen by examining their quotations this ween. A customer can deal with them as well by mail as he or the could by visiting the store in person, as the greatest care is taken in the selection and filling of mail orders. Thoso who visit Augusta, however, should call on Messrs. Lan dram & Butler, and if they have any goods to buy, give them at least a share of their patronage. This firm has iong catered to the country trad > and Mr. Landrani and : Mr. Butler are both genial, sociable,' big - heart?d gentlemen, in whose i presence the humblest country per-i son never feels ill at ease. The People’s Partv Paper wants to es-j tabiish a commercial affinity between I this firm and its readers, because! | A MERRY, CHRISJMAS.IO ALL.] ji AW ord to the People From LANDRAM & BUTLER, 828 Broad Street, Augusta, Georgia. This is a great country we have in this South-land of ours—Good lands, a good climate and we, the J) people, if we pull together, can make it one of the greatest countries in the universe. ;■ Wo havn’t the cold, severe winters of other sections, nor have wo the extreme hot blasts of some ■ places, but to the contrary, a mild variable climate all the year ’rout'd. But to build up we must get together and work together for the great good of all. ! So much for this. Bat we wish now to say that if you want anything in Dry Goods, and at Low 8 Down Prices, Landrani & Butler is the place to go, and if you can’t go, to send your orders. TIETIE COIMHHSTG- WEEK i . V i We will offer greater inducements than ever. Now is the closing out season of a great many lines of I -1 goods before the first of January, stock taking time. It will surprise the purchasers of goods in our line to see goods sold so cheap. Ono yea" ago when ’ '' cotton was 5 cents a pound, and now when it is 8 cents you can buy goods from us at the same. You y 1 will have to see what we can do to be convinoed how cheap we can sell goods. WE HAVE A LARGE STOCK I To sell out at and below :>0 cents on the dollar, and wo ask a call from our country friends who need Dry ; ; Goods and can appreciate great bargains. It would be useless for us to attempt to name goods or give j prices in this add, for we could not do cureelves justice in a whole paga of a newspaper. Buainesss is one thing and Politics another. This is a free country and we accord every man tho a '■ right we claim, to think and vote as he pleases, and wo think the more of him for so doing. We Are Candidates for Your Patronage. Upon the Platform above named. Free and independent thinkers. Always going for what we believe | to be the host for all.tho People. We would not play false to gain your trade, and you would not have J us do so. In closing this we will say that before we speak to you again the Christmas will have passed, and we i now thank yon for the patronage of the past and wish one and ail a happy and merry Christmas and that j the year 1896 may be one of blessings to all.

The only duty of these officials is to I see that the convicts are properly . eared for and that the law is en .. forced. The report also states that ; convicts are leased for loss than one dollar per month. Yet it appears that the convicts are treated worse than brutes by ’ho lessees; not properly clothed, shod or fed. Such neglect on the part of the peniten tiary officials is wholly inexcusable, sajs Senator B. W, Sanford, chair man of the Senate penitentiary com mittee. When we take into consid . eration the fact that men wholly . 1 unfii for the position of penitentiary J oliieia's are appointed to those re- J sponsible positions without experi | once or qualification, wo can readily 1 see the cause of the hupiilia'iing re- I ports from the legislative com ! mittees. The principal keeper is a 1 disappointed aspirant for a judge , ship ; the assistant keeper is an ex- ■ J sheriff and a kind of go as you ■ please fellow; the principal physi ' cian is a Democratic politician and a very clever fellow, but a man who i knows very little if anything of the I tricks of the lessees, whipping bosses, ' etc. Therefore the lot of the un- I fortunate convicts is a sad one. 1 When Gordon arid Northen were I governor the penitentiary system I , was brought inj.o notice and the les sees were made to treat the poor convicts with a sma'l degree of hu manity at least, but for the past year I the whole convict system has been I going pell inell and there appears to ' be no one who is responsible for it. , In the mean time let the people ■of Georgia remember that the old I saystem hsa to be obliterated and a ■ better system inaugurated before ' this system will be improved. An Observer. THE PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPDR. ATLANTA, GEORGIA. DECEMBER 27. 189> Aunt Polly Hayseed. : Kditor People’s Party Paper: I Hard time bn almost pressed your Aunt Polly Hayseed and Josiah to the wall. Tne burden hai been so heavy that Aunt Polly did not have the time to write, and whenshc had the time she was too tired to think, but praise the Lord, we have never forgotten or been too tired to pray for cur reform movement and for our leaders that they might have wisdom and knowledge from God to guide them, and for money to help wherever help was needed: Speaking of the bard times and the burdens our people are bearing, what pen can write it or tongue can tell it; and the -worst feature of it is that it crushes out mmhood, patriot ism, love of home, love of conntry and Jove of church, and finally we surrender to the enemy of every thing that is good and for the wel fare and upbuilding of humanity, wo are indifferent and unconcerned. How often have we felt the crush ing out of every hope, of every ambi tion to help on the reform movemei t by the thought we have no money Oh, our hearts burn within us and we cry to God for help, for we feel He is on cur side and He must help, He will help. Tam afraid there are a great many Populists like Josiah Hayseed’s sister who lived in Arkan sas during the war. Iler father lived on the road leading from Pine Bluff to Princeton, the county site, a road used by both armies and it was hard to keep anything to eat, and the yankees would take it and every thing else valuable that they cotfld lay their hands on, and whenever tho word came the yankee’s arocom ing, everything was hid that was valuable cr considered so. Hifing places were at a premium. One day Josiah’s sister heard that the yau kee’s were coming, it was early one morning and every one was busy hiding things, but where to hide some things no one cculd tell, when his sister came to the res me. Hoops were fashionable and she had on one. She stood up and told them to tie cn everything they could, and they bs- I gan tieing on in earnest. Silver spoon-, scissors, ferkq cotton cards, in fact her hoiWi was full from top to bottom, She then put on two cotton dresses and there she stood. She could not sit down, and she would ask: “D> you see tho yankees coming?” “No,'’ they wculd say, and taere she stood and looked and waited untill the middle of the after noon, when she said she was not going to stand up any longer that the yankees might have everything so far as she was concerned, that she was go'ng to take off them things and set down, yankees or no yankees. And she did, but the yankees did not come that time. So it is with a great many Popu list, they have borne th 1 burden of debt, have been half-clothed and half fed for year in and year out, and have worked like beavers, look ing for better times and voting ter men to brin; the good times, but these men have been counted out. Money can’t bs fiad for debts; its a'l they can do to live and pay expen ses, no money for reform papers, no money to pay the preacher and the preacher has quit coming to see them, as it is understood there is no pay iu i\ so what is the use of stand ing up for truth, justic tempt rance, for equal rights to all and • special privileges to none-. But brother, let me say, right is right, since God is God, and right 1 will surely win. To doubt would be disloyal, to falter would ba sin. If God is on our side we need not fear, and we know He is. His purposes will ripen fast, I cveiy hour. The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will bs the flower. Aunt Polly Hatsekd. Biilloeli County iiesolutions.
