IdF*Atlanta is now the objective point of the State politicians. By next Wednesday the town will be full of them. Each one has a little joke on his hands that he wants the Legislature to work. you want a piece of note paper to write a note to your angel; when you want a ledger to keep yonr accounts in ; when you want a Bible ; when you want a spelling book, go to Fleming A Burke, Athens, Ga. During the next two weeks we shall fix up all of our accounts for subscription and advertising. After that time, we will send out statements to all who owe us. Now is your time, if you don’t want to be dunned. !SPWe skipped out to the Atlanta Fair last week, saw a good many sights, had a good time, but did not get our pockets pick ed or lose any jewelry, simply because we had nothing that a pick pocket would have. £ A Burnett don't keep the larg est stock of shoes in Athens for nothing. They want buyers. Go down and take a look at their prices, and they will soli you shoes so cheap that you will consider going barefooted a luxury. Grays- Athens used to be known all over this county for its high prices ; you could take five dollars and spend it in a pair of minutes, and have nothing to show for it. Now it is different; you can get a wagon load of goods for the same amount of money. The query naturally arises, what, caused the change? We answer, the building of the Northeastern Railroad and the opening of Gray’s mam moth dry goods store. Though not quite three years old, there is not a dry goods store in Athens better known than Grays. Three things have conspired to this end, namely: Advertising, large stocks and low prices. When Gray came to Athens, in 1878, the merchants were mov ing along and having it all their own way ; the advent of anew merchant did not create no particular sensation. So matters rocked along until customers, when pricing their goods, would say, “we can buy that same article at Gray’s for less than you are offer ing it.” The frequent occurrence of this re mark led to an investigation, which resulted in establishing the truth of the assertion. The fact was there glaring them in the face. Idle clerks, piles of unsold goods, short cash accounts, all cstalished the fact that there was a man amongst them that was getting their trade. Then came the trouble. They tried to cut under and break the new rival up. But this they soon quit, for he had cap ital, pluck, energy, and a New York buyer with plenty of money at his back. The bat tie was won, and Gray truly established him self as the leader of low prices. Now, it is useless to cary a woman to Athens and keep her out of Gray’s. Every body goes there to see what goods arc sell i<r at and what are the latest bargains. The reason for all of this is that Gray sells for cash and buys for cash. A member of the firm is a resident of New York, and is con stantly on the watch for bargains. It is useless for us to go into particulars in regard to their stock ; it is so varied and constantly changing that we could not do the subject justice. Mr. IT G. Gray has the full control and management of the store, assist ed by a full corps of polite and efficient clerks. Though young in years, Mr. Gray manages this large business with the skill and ease of a veteran. Nothing escapes his watchful eves, and he is ever on the alert, devising new ways to increase his business. His plan is to make a specialty of some class of goods, and he buys in large quantities, gets them proportionately cheap, and then he sells them right out —never allowing them to get sheif worn. For instance, he is now making a run on shoes, and ho advertises nothing else. Well, you go into the store, and you will find that he has got them just as they are advertised. from the cheapest to the best, and at prices to suit cotton at eight cents a pound. Don't fail to drop in and see what there is that yon want. You can get suited. J. N. Bick, of Toledo, Ohio, says:— My father, before wearing the “ Only Lung Pad,” could not sleep nights on account of his vio lent coughing, since wearing it he has slept soundly every night. —See Adv. The Voltaic Bell Cos., Marshall, Mich. Will send their celebrated Electro-Voltaic Belts to the afflicted upon JO days trial. Speedy cures guaranteed. They mean ! they say. Write to theta without delay. Pendergrass Bros. & Cos. In looking around for a place to spend their money profitably, our readers must not overlook the fact that Pendergrass Bros. & Cos., of this place, have just filled their large j store with a full line of goods in each partic ! ular department. We can remember the time when Jefferson merchants kept nothing but the bare neces saries of life; when, if you wanted anything besides provisions or bleaching, you had to send or make a trip to Athens. That day is now past. Taking into consideration the amount of their trade, this firm keeps the best selected clock you will find anywhere outside of the large cities. They buy to suit all classes, and if you are not over-fastidious you can get what you want. They set out to please, and will do it if you give them a half a chance. Enjoying all the facilities for doing a first-class business—such as capital, good credit, and a reputation for fair and honest dealing—they can sell goods as low as anybody, and will do so if you give them an opportunity. A glance over their present stock will con vince you that they have got the goods to sell and are anxious for your custom. In all of the staple dry goods line they have an un usual large stock, especially calicoes, jeans and cotton goods. In foot-wear they* have everything from dirt cheap to the daintiest buttoned kid in the market. Head coverings of all descriptions, both for male and female ; wool hats and poke bonnets ; silk hats, and the latest styles for the most fastidious of Jefferson’s belles. In the provision and gro cery line they are well heeled, and propose to keep so all the time, if Lee Moon has to make a trip to the depot every day. Their stock of crockery and glassware lias always been good and consisted of a large variety, but the present one is the largest they have ever handled. As for hardware, harness, saddles, etc., they can supply their customers with what they want. Then, when it comes to the notion department, they bewilder you with the number and •variety of articles which go towards the adornment of the male and female butterflys. Next week they propose to tell you more in detail what they have for you to come and see. But in the mean while you can give them a call. It makes no difference whether you want to buy or not. They have Dick Gholston and Tom Harrison hi red just to answer questions, show goods, give prices, and wrap them up, and they want you to keep them busy. Not Certain- Just as we go to press we learn that Dr. Seale has started to Atlanta with papers in regard to the execution of Arthur. He will present them to the Governor and return to day before the execution takes place. The point made is that there is evidence to show that Arthur was induced to confess that he killed Susan Hill. This testimony not known to his lawyers at the time of his trial, and now it is aske i that the execution of the death sentence he put off until the matter can be investigated. We hardly think that, under the circumstances, the Governor will order a further delay in the proceedings, but it is hard to tell what he will do.

(and the President is arranging to get married. The Athens Banner- It has been in our mind sometime to tell our readers about the Athens 'Banner. Mr. Y\ aterman, the proprietor and editor, intends to make both the Daily and tire Weekly first class papers. This lie is able to do, as he not only has Lire experience and energy, but he is also a born newepaper manager, and knows exactly how to make a paper popular with the people. Besides, he has to make his living out of it; therefore, lie intends to make it a permanent and popular fixture. \\ e are thus definite in what we say be cause the Banner lias been changing hands so often. Wo can assure our readers that in the future they can depend upon getting a first class paper. A Card.
