Jake has a fine assortment which lie sells very reasonably whether vou vote for Horace or not. At Cost.—In order to enlarge my store, I am now ottering my entire stoffle of goods at coat. Persons wishing to secure bargains had best call at once, as the opportunity to buy such nice goods at such low rates is not offered every day. Simon A. Weil. D. J. G. .McNaiil.—This gentleman is au lion need for Tax Collector. If Ire is elected he will surely make a good one. He has held (he position b-fore, »i.d we know of no otlior who ha* ever had it who has pleased the people better. The peonl^ of Decatur could not get a belter man than Dan.- McNair for Tax Collector, and we hope to see him nominated and elected. The Colored Candidates.—Under the proper head in The Democrat to day will he found the names of three colored men who announce shemselves as candidates on the Grant Republican ticket. They are influential men with their race, and will doubtless be elect-' ed to the positions lo which they are «8pitirg if any Radical is. GRAND RALLY! A Reitrmcax •Mass Meeting!

Accordeons at $2 00, and all'other Musical Instruments in proportion to quality, etc. All who wish to “soothe the savage breast” call around and equip yourselves. tf Too Past.—Local Democrat: The Editor of the Southern Sun—issue of Saturday last—in commenting upon the first bale of cotton brought to this city the present season, says: “What do our merchants mean? The first bale ought to have been bought here at a fancy premium.”— As much as to say that the mer chants of the city were illiberal in their bids. The truth is, thirty cents was offered here, and twenty and a half was obtained in Savan nah ! The Editor would do well to in form himself as to the facts of a case before condemning parties. City Merchant. For Tax Collector,—The many friends of Geo. D. Griffin will be gratified to learn that he is a candi date for the office of Tax Collector, if nominated by the Democratic par ty. Mr. Griffin is an honest, upright man and would make a number one Collector. Besides, he is a. maimed Confederate soldier, which commends him heartily to all “who wore the gray.” Fine Instrument.—We notice that Mr. T. J. Jeter has purchased one of those magnificent Hallet ft Davis Pianos of Air. I. M. Rosenfeld, of this city, who represents the great music firm of-Ludden ft Bates, of Savannah.

Reid & Co., left last Montlay evening for New York, where he will purchase a full stock of goods for the Fall and Win ter trade. From Captain Reid's reputation as one of "the very best buyers and merchants in Southwes tern Georgia, the people of Decatur may expect a selection of goods at A. T. Reid & Co’s store soon that will Challenge comparison with the best anywhere. We wish the Cap tain a pleasant trip. Personal.—Simon A. Wiel, one of the cleverest merchants, and withal one ol the best in the city- leaves for New York on Saturday next. He intends buying a large stock of goods for the fall and win ter trade.

Bower, delivered themselves of patriotic speeches, which were iu every respect pertinent to the oc casion. SERENADE. The speaking over, the band in charge of Mr. T. B.
