A Few Facts and Some Fancies.
The liberal patronage extended
to the Journal by the merchants of
Hamilton, West Point and Colum
bus is highly appreciated and as a
token of our appreciation the
following notices are given. The
Journal does not sell its opinions
—we endorse Jour advertisers be
cause we think them worthy. We
begin with
HAMILTON.
Mobley Brothers.
These gentlemen have an unlim
ited capital and credit, are alive
to every interest and are withal as
accommodating and polite gentle
men as you will find anywhere.
Their capital and enterprise make
possible for them to sell as low as
anybody, and their interest and
cleverness prompt them to do it.
Toey keep everything and to get a
bargain it is only necessary for you
to buy something of them.
M. Wolfson.
Within a very short period of
time the trade of Hamilton has un
dergone a complete revolution. To
no man is the town more indebted
for this needed change thau to the
clever young gentleman whjse
name heads this article. As full of
vim and enterprise, as he is rernaik
able for ta*te and foresight, his
name has within a few months be
come a household word in our
county. He knows the value of
judicious advertising, and the large
sales of his establishment indicate
the correctness of his judgement.
Such enterprise as his is sure to win
Cook Brothers.
This house, although established
but a few weeks, already enjoys a
very desirable trade. Mr. Burt
Cook has long been known to the
trade of Hamilton,and a young man
•with more fiiends, or more deser
ving of friendship we do not know.
He always prices low and never
misrepresents his goods.
J. L. Blackmon.
None of our advertisers is more
deserving of patronage than Mr. J.
L. Blackmon. Uniformly courte
ous, strictly reliable, aDd a rigid
alherent to the one price cash
system, he is fast gaining the con
fidence of the trading public. His
groceries are fresh and pure and we
vary heartily commend him to our
friends and the public.
Cowsert & \Kimhrough.
Few towns can boast of a more
deservedly popular business house
than this. Hamilton is proud of
them, and shows her pride by her
patronage. Buying only of the best
and contenting themselves with a
small margin of profit, they keep
their old customers regardless of
the most biting competition, and
are constantly adding new ones.
Coivsert, Hudson <C Cos.
It is only necessary for one to
think of the number of new buei
nes houses in Hamilton, and to see
the business done by each one ot
them, for him to realize the rapid

growth of its trado. Prominent
among the new houses, is that of
Cowsert, Hudson & Cos. Composed
ot gentlemen well known for their
ability and integrity, the trade ot
this house, remunerative at first, is
fast assuming large proportions,
A. F. Copeland.
This young pi an persues the even
tenor of his way, quietly serving a
numerous host of customers which
has enlisted under his banners, du
ring the half dozen years he has
served the Hamilton trade. Buy
ing from the largest wholesale
dealers, and often direct from the
manufacturer, he is enabled to sell
to the benefit of his patrons.
WEST POINT.
XTcyman, Merz <0 Cos.
The reputatien of this house is
co-extensive with the reputation ot
West Point. They advertise lib
©rally and are patronized according
ly. Whenever you visit this
ving little city, you will servo your
interests by calling upon these en
terprising merchants.
T. A. Lovelace.
Mr. TANARUS, A. Lovelace is constantly
receiving direct from the manufac
turers. largo shipments of the best
makes of boots and shoes. Long
familiarity with the leather trade
makes him a good judge of that
article, so that when he warrants
a shoe ho takes little risk and his
customer none.
Dr. J. F. Miller.
Whenever you want stationery,
school books or drugs, Dr. Miller
will take much pleasure in supply
ing yon. His goods are fresh and
pure, and his terms are the [[easiest
—the lowest price for the shortest
time. Give him a call.
It. I. Mealor.
The Press says:—“Now that the
holidays 'are approaching, when
, nice things for the inner man are
in demand, Jthe public should re
member that Mr. Mealoj has a
bountiful supply of both sweet and
substantial edibles. Sugar, coffee,
syrup, flour, meal, meats, oysters,
fish, pickle, &c., and an infinite as
sortment of confectioneries are al
ways on hand. Give Mr. Mealor a
call and we will vouch for fair
dealing on his part, and will guar
antee that you will bo inclined to
go again. He will give you your
money’s value and treat you in the
politest manner.’’
J. j, Hagetlorn & Cos.
Few cities have larger retail es
tablishments than the house of J. J.
Hagedorn & Cos., at West Point.
Their mammoth store houses are
filled from cellar to dome, with an
endless variety of everything that
civilized man needs. They literally
keep everything—not excepting
coffins. Read their card.
J Miller & llavis.
Those of our readers who buy at
West Point, and hundreds of them
do, should at once [acquaint them
selves with the bargains ottered by
these gentlemen. They are deter
mined to maintain the reputation of
their town for low prices, against
all competition. It is only necessa
to call on them to find this out.
./. Freisleben.
We lay no claim for a patent by
right of discovery, to the cleverness
of Mr. Freisleben —the hundreds of
customers who throng his stores
daily haying long since made that
discovery. lie is not only ono of
the cleverest of West Point’s mer
chants, however, but a leader in
styles and low prices.
W. F. Jones.
Our county is largely supplied
with work from the establishment
of this gentleman. Prompt, relia
ble and low priced, he is every
way capacitated to maintain the
reputation which his intrinsic merit
has established.

A. J. Biddle.
There is no city in the South,
considering its size, car bring to
the front a greater number ot rep
resentative men than Columbus.
The gigantic cotton mills controlled
by the Eagle & Phoenix company,
is tho largest enterprise ot this kind
managed by one coraptny in the
South, or perhaps in 4ie United
States. Next, the Columbus Iron
Works, that paid m one order
5,000 for steel. Tie induce
ments offered by the warehouses
and cotton buyer are y.fb that the
fleecy staple is shipped hundveds of
miles on the river and by rail, pass
ing many important, points, all be
cause the planters can do so much
better in investing their money, by
the great inducements offered by
the array of distinguished merchant
princes of this city. The fine arts
—in photogaaphy represented by
Mr. A. T. Biddle—is an institution
that Columbus should feel proud of.
He is one of the most genial and
clever gentlemen that we have met
in along time, his gallery is fitted
up in elegant taste, and his pictures
give evidence of a high order in
the art divine. The enlarged pict
ure of the lamented Susie Lee,
daughter of Judge Biggers, only
lacks the power of speech to live
again.
Grigsby F. Thomas.
One of the oldest and most ex
tensively known clothiers in west
ern Georgia is the gentleman whoso
name heads this article. As genial
as sunshine, he w ins your confidence
at once and never betrays it after.,
wards. He will tell you it it does
not fit, and a poor judge of goods
can get as good a bargain as an ex
pert. Mr. Thomas knows how to
ouy, so that he car, sell a good arti
cle as cheap as anybody. If you
want shoddy you must buy it ’else
where. Everything in his house is
strictly first-class. If you want
something tasty and durable call on
him. See his card elsewhere.
J. IV. Howard.
Saving is as important as making.
Old iron, rag u , waste paper, rem
nants of bagging, old bags, and just
such things as are worthless and
even a nuisance about your premi
ses, may be converted into* money
by carrying them to il/r. J. W.
Howard, at the old stand of John
Mehaffey, Columbus, Ga. Air.
Howard is the pastor of the Second
Baptist church, a perfect gentleman
and will give you entire satisfac
tion. He has been engaged in the
business fifteen years, and knows
how to dispose of his purchases to
tho best advantage, so that liu can
afl'ord to pay tho very highest cash
prioes lor everything ho buys.
O. J. Peacock.
Tills enterprising clothing man
ufacturer —factory No. G 4 Broad
Street, Columbus, Ga.—keeps fully
alive to tbo wants of tho public in
his line. Suits are made to order
here promptly and reliably. If yon
want a suit ot clothes, you can
find no better place.
Giles T. Williams.
The public is invited to visit tbo
photograph gallory over Korn &
Leob’s store, tor, sitico it has been
enlarged and refitted, it is called the
finest Gallery in Columbus. It is
surely tbo neatest and most com
fortably arranged. The display ot
photographs, from card to life size,
of well known citizens, somo that
are now with the dead, is the
largest aud finest iu the city, and if
you want to ?pass away an hour
pleasantly, you can find no better
place. Remember that Giles T.
Williams is to be found at tho gal
lery over Kern & Loeb’s store, two
doors below Chattahoochee Nation
al Bank, that ho has twenty-six
years’ experience, that his prices
are tho very lowest and that lie
guarantees satisfaction. Only think;
ho gives six card photographs for
ouo dollar.
Thornton <C Acce.
It is a real pleasure to trade with
these popular clothiers. They are
so clever, their prices so low, their
clerks so attentive and their goods
of such superior quality and work
manship, that it is ouly necessary
for you to call on them to be suited.
But if you can’t call on them, Mr,
Charles A. Lovelace, one of the
cleverest hoys who ever left our
county, will take great pleasure in
giving his personal attention to the
orders of his friends.
Louis Banner,
At the New York Sumo, No. CO,
corner ot Broad und Randolph Sts.,
being desirous of reducing his large
and assorted stock, will after this
day sell dry goods, clothing, boots,
shoes, hats, &c., at cost, in order to
raise ready cash during the Christ
mas holidays. Everybody is invi.
ted to give him a call and get good

Alpha A. Williams.
It is a treat to visit the gallery ot
this gentleman, filled ae it is with
the finest specimens of artistic skill
to be found in the South. His rep
utation as a skilled photographer is
fully established, and he never per
mits it to bo tarnished by turning
out a bad job. Prices he makes ae
low as is consistent with good
work and he guarantees satisfaction.
Hunt Brothers.
Last week we yisited Columbus
and one of the busiest hives m the
city, was the establishment of these
gentlemen. We were not greatly
surprised, for such clevor gentle
men and thoroughgoing merchants
always enjoy a liberal patronage,
Their largo store-house is filled
from floor to ceiling with a stock of
groceries and family supplies, not
to bo excelled in that market. Mr.
A. F. Truett, well known to our
citizens as the cleverest man in
seven states, is to be found with
this house, always anxious to Bee
and serve his friends.
Hofflin.
When you visit Columbus call at
the clothing house of J. llofiliu, 88
Broad street, where you will find a
choico stock of first class clothing,
of all llio leading styles. Dress
suits, business suits and ovorcoats iu
groat variety/ also a largo stock ot
hais, trunks, valioes, fce., at prices
that defy competition. Givo Mr.
Ilofllin a call when you want any .
thing in Ms line and yon will not
go away dissatisfiod. Ho is con
stantly receiving now novolties in
cassiincro suits, overcoats and hats,
and notwithstanding tho advance in
ihcso lines of goods ho will sell
lower than over. Only givo him a
oall and bo conviuced.
J. Albert Klrven.
Nobody thinks of buying in
Columbus, bolore obtaining Albert
Ivirven’s prices. He leads in all tho
reductions, but in advances bo is
always with tbo last. Buying all
his goods to tho greatest advantage
he sells at the lowest price. Ever
on tho lookout for bargains, ho al
ways shares bis good, luck with his
customers. Whenever Kirvon ad
vertises his price for an article, you
may bo sure that it cannot be had
choapor in tho city. Be snro to
read his advertisement before you
buy. It will save you money.
Columbus Female College.
Few institutions have risen so
rapidly into popular favor as this
one. Though only fivo years old,
it ranks among the best schools in
the South. Indeed we are told that
there is not a female college in the
South as well equipped every wav
as this one. Located in a healthy
city, and fostered by one of the fi
nest communities in Georgia and
readily accessible ,a *
pr o( .peiuuh section of country, it is
not wonderful that the college has
grown so rapidly. Columbus is
destined to bo ono of tho leading
cities in tho southern states, as is
shown by her rapidly multiplying
manufactories and continually in
creasing population. Tho college is
bound to grow with the city. Ev
ery reader of the J OUBNAp Should
feel a pride in sustaining an insti
tution that will belong, necessarily,
to tills whole section. Other things
being equal, we ought certainly to
patronize and sustain the institutions
of our own section. If any of our
patrons desiro to send their daugh
ter to college in January, we say
send them to the Columbus Female
College* Write at once to tho
President, Mr. G, Tl. Glenn, for a
catalogue or further particulars.
T. S. Spear.
The name of no merchant of
Columbus is more familiar to tho
pooplo of tho surrounding country,
than that of Mr. T. S. Spear, the
Jeweler. Meeting his patrons al
ways with a smile, serving them
politely and faithfully, and never
deceiving them as to the quality of
his goods or turning out any but
the best work, he is as much ad
mired as be is widely known.
Allen Brothers.
Among the many wonderful fea
tures of tho growth ot Columbus,
nothing strikes the close observer
more forcibly than the rapid and
substantial growth of her dry
goods trade- Many new stores
have been opened and in their sales
have rapidly advanced to the front
rank. Notably among these is tho
house of Allen Brothers. People
will patronize new stores, for they
do not liko to have old style or
shelf worn goods palmed off on
them as fresh and stylish. Give
these young men a call when you
visit the city to buy your Christ
mas supplies. Their stock is re
plete with many articles suitable
lor the holidays, and they cordially
invite you to visit their store.
