Mr. H. P. Lumpkin, returned from
Texas lust Friday. Ho reports every
thing flourishing in that country.
Our cleaver young friend, Mr. Wal
ter McNeul, formerly of this place, is
now doing business at Tecumsoh.
Regret to learn that Mr. John O.
Lumpkin had the misfortune to lose
his horse which died yesterday, about
12 o’clock.
The weather is real summorry, but
it is rather dangerous to mako any j
groat chaugo in clothing yet awhile, j
Col. Tidwell and lady havo return- I
ed from Texas. The Colonel’s Texas
fever has about cooled oft, but ho is
not quite well of the cold he caught
while thero.
Mr. Cleveland, the old roliable, still

Wo would advise Dock Cobb, Jim
Dodds, Atys Chisolm, Gus Adams and

Persian silks of elaborate designs

Wo aro glad to sec on our stroots
once more, our genial young friend,
J. M. Morris, who has boon in Atlan
ta tho past few months, attending
lectures at Moore’s Commercial Col-
lego.
The latost sousatiou in geutlemen’s
neck wear now is tho blue tie, which
is oagorly sought after by tho more
youthful, tho reflection *»f tho blue
upon tho face having a tendency to
stimulate tho growth of tho beard.
Married in tho prosbyteriau church
at Cavo Spring on Tuesday night last
Mr. Pink B. Sheldon, of Dallas, Texas
and Miss Lilly Lako of tho former

Dan Hightower, who is now making
his living by iho ‘sweat of his brow’
in a rural manner, came in Friday
and remained over 'till Sunday with
the b’boys. Dan says ho is competed
lo see her semi-occ isionly anyhow.
Our boss store keepers can now bo
scon with a little tin bucket a fishing
cane and a little cup of bait, making
their wav to some shady placo on the
creek, while tho clerks stays at homo,

C ipt. A. G. West,
recently bought a stei
which will bo hern in i

in road engine,
few days. Ho
) from his oro
bank. It is a twclvo horso engine
and will haul about eight tons at a
load. Cnpt. West is fixing up to bo
independent of tho railroad.
From reading a letter published in
the Express this wet k, purporting to
bo from B. C. Wilkin, ono u old nat
urally suppose ho hud been studying
criminal law, and reading ancient and
modern history, in order to post him
self in regard to pardons aud respites
extended to criminals in different
countries.
Mrs. J. A. Wynn has opened a
largo stock of milinery and ladies
furnishing goods at Lumpkin’s brick
store house. This will bo a great con
venience to our ladies, who,heretofore
have had to go to Rome for military
goods. They should now patronize
Mrs. Wynn and keep their money at
home.
As Wilkes has not been brought up
to prove Mocks’ inuocouce, and tho
Governor has issued no further re
spite, wo suppose Meeks will bo exe
cuted cn next Friday.
We havo had nothing to do with
this case, being willing to lenvo tho
matter where it properly belongs, with
the courts, believing that tho judge
and jury would do right, if left freo to
act, und wo luivo no desire to sot
aside their decisions aud set up our
own opinions in their stead.
W T 0 believe tho impression gener
ally prevails throughout tlm county
that the wheat crop is good, but Mr.
Herbert informed us on last Wednes
day that the fly is damaging the crop
considerably. If this is tho caso to
any extent tho crop will bo short, ami
it behooves our farmers, in view of
this fact, and the impending war in
Europe, to raise an extra quantity of
corn aud other crops, and loss cotton.
Corn and wheat is now advancing
rapidly, and if tho war continues and
it is likely it will—'.lie balance of tho
year at least, tho f irmer who raises
the most earn and moat will be in the
lus'. condition at. tho end of tho year.

Are the most ef-

arc mild, hut ef

the bowels surely
and without pain.
Although gentle
in their operation,
they are still the
most thorough and
searching cathar
tic medicine that can he employed : cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of ono pill a day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
Ayer’s Pili.s have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
so parties having syrup to mako can
bring their cane and barrels to the
company and wait, like going to mill,
until it is made up, without any labor

tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the every-day complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bailled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
ful effects, they are, at the same time, flic
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they gripe much less
than tlie common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing i1,
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pili.s may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
