fail to get a paper next
week they should not cuss us nor the

have been extremely lenient with
them.
The Guanos They Handle.
| tise Arnold in to-day’s A Stewart Echo of this place justly' adver
: some pop¬
ular brands of guano they are handling
this season. It is always their study
to handle only that class of any goods
best adapted to the wants of their cus
| tomers. They also handle they an excellent
make of buggy which offer at very
low figures.
Five Car-Loads of it.
Smith Bros, never do things by
halves, and so during the past ten days
they have, received in one shipment
five car loads of the best brands of fer¬
tilizers. In this lot arc included sev
oral different makes, all standard goods,
Smith Bros, buv and sell these goods
and are prepared to offer them at the
best of figures.

A Beef Market.
In response to the numerous calls of
the public for such an enterprise Messrs.
George A. Mathews and Dan McCar¬
ty have opened a beef market in this
place and will if sustained by a patron¬
age, have nice fresh meats twice a
week. They should be sustained.
They will also have fish and oysters for
sale occasionally.

Takes his Own Lite.
Tuesday the sad news readied his
friends and relatives in Lexington that
Mr. .Tas Geer, of Pen field, had commit¬
ted suicide the day previous by shoot¬
ing bis brains out with a gun. Mr.
Geer was of a despondent while temperament spell
and it is thought that in a
of despondency he committed the rash
act without really any cause.

yet and know just how to make the
young folks enjoy themselves.
Shipping Bermuda Hay.
Messrs. Ed. Clark and R. M. Bacon,
the hay raisers of this county, have re¬
cently made several large shipments of
hay from this place. To them it is a
better money crop than cotton, as it
can be raised at a greater profit and
there is always a demand for it. Dir.
Clark tells ns that he expects to ship
several car-loads within the next few
days.
One Makes Many.
More than once recently we have
seen it stated in the Athens Banner
that several illicit distislleries had been
unearthed in this county by U. S. Mar¬
shal Murray. Persistent inquiry on
our part has has failed to assertain in
what part of the county they were found
and we are led to fear that the Banner
| makes many of one. Sometimes the
fruit of the still will do this.

A Land Trade.

by which Mr. W. B. Lester came into

It ts About all Gone.
Very little cotton in the country now.
For the past ten days or two weeks
prices have been ruling away up, most
of the lime as high as ten and a half
cents a pound, and farmers and mer
chants hastened to unload. There were
at least a dozen Oglethorpe farmers in
Athens Friday last selling the remain
der of their crops, and some of them
had as high as a half hundred hales
which brought them snug sums of
money.
