SPRING GREETING OF
EDGAR L. ROGERS!
Leader, and Regulator of Low Prices.
My almost Miraculous mico**?* in Harm-svillt- for the past lour years has stimulated
me to even greater exertions to please the people and merit their patronage for this sea
son. (total Goods, new styles, low prices, and square dealings will be in the future as in
the past, my hu-ine-s motto. Keep an eye on my goods and prices and I will never fai
to save you money.
To try to give the people even an idea of my immense spring stock and how cheap I
am selling good- would require a whole paper, so he silent that ye may hear of just a
few of mv man vwonders.
DRESS GOODS.
Tn these 1 have the best selection*, the neatest styles, and the biggest variety ever
shown in this market. My Dress Goods stock embraces everything from the finest Al-
Imtros. Kaholirie and Itonclc cloths down to the cheapest Cashmeres even as low as fio.

7c. per vnrd up. White Swis- and Mulls, India Linen, Checked Nainsooks, and in fact
1 have got them all.
EMBROIDERERS AND LACES.
Here is where I can interest you, for I certainly have got them this season, and all
competition on Hamhurgs. especially must stand aside. .My Bc. Edges and insertions are
the talk of every body, who has seen them, and the 10c.. 12.U\ 15c. 20c. and 25c. Line are
truly wonderful. 1 have Embroideries and Laces this time from the very cheapest to
the highest grade of all overs and Elouncings. Come to see them and be paralyzed.
PARASOLS.
The immense Factories of New York and Philadelphia, have done their best for me,
and fixed me in this line with the very latets novelties from 15c. to lU.OO- Don’t buy,
or even look at a Parasol or Umbrella until vou have seen mine.
GENTS FURNISHING GOODS.
Mv stock of Gent* Furnishing Goods is larger and more complete than I ever dream
ed that I could carry here; hut the prices and styles will sell them. My 50c, Laundred

brated Voorheis Miller and Rupel Goods that have a world wide reputation for their
superior goods, elegant fits, and handsome make up. My Clothing stock is now filled to
overflowing, and 1 am ready to let them slide at. my usual low prices.

even more liberally in the future. Messrs. J. F. Howard and B. Z. Holmes are with me
rd will always be glad to serve their old friends and customers. Yours to please,

A Bit of Georgia History.
Atlanta Journal.
“Did you ever know that a gover
nor of Georgia was killed in a duel?”
asked an official in the executive of
fice this morning of a Journal repor
ter. A negative reply being given,
he went on to state that Button
Gwinnett succeeded Archibald Bul
lock. in February, 1777. During
his administration a delegation from
South Carolina tailed upon Gover
nor Gwinnett and suggested the ex
pediency of having Georgia place
herself under the jurisdiction of
South Carolina. The suggestion
was treated with contempt. Sub
sequently an unfbrtii’ate misun
derstanding occurred between the
governor and General Lachlan Mc-
Intosh, which resulted in a duel,
fought on the loth of May, 1777,
near Savannah, in which both gen
tleman were seriously wounded.
General Mclntosh recovered, but
Governor Gwinnett died ot his in
juries twelve days afterwards. These
facts are recorded in Wlute’s His
torical Collections of Georgia.
“A. BOWLD SOGER BOY?
ONE OF THE M ACON VOLUNTEERS AND
HIS ABILITY AS A DRUMMER.
SAMITKI. DUNLAP, OF ATLANTA, GA.
The excellent picture we prerent at the
head of this column, is of a man who is as
well and favorably known in his capacity
as a travelling man or “drummer” as anv
one mail in the United States.
Mr. Dunlap said in conversation recent
ly : “about four years ago I had a severe
attack of rheumatism, which completely
disabled me for a time, and which develop
ed into what is commonly called •chronic,'
attacking me when least expected, and lav
ing me up entirely; incapacitating me for
any kind <>f business, and causing me as
much suffering in a day as should be crowd
ed in a life time. After one of my most
severe attacks, and when I had just got
able to hobble around. I met J. M. Hunni
cutt. an old friend, and lie said he could
make a remedy tnat would cure me. and.
by gracious, lit did. I took two bottles of
his -tuff, prepared from roots and herbs,
and I have never had a twingeof rheuma
tism since. The medicine was not prepar
ed for sale at t int time, but was manufac
tured by Mr. Hunnieutt for his friends.
About >ix months ago it was determined tc
place it upon the market, and a firm was
organized for that purpose. Two weeks
ago. in the midst of my suffering. I noted
in one of their advertisements that it was
good for kidney troubles also. I knew it
would cure rheumatism, and I bought a
half a dozen bottles at once and determin
ed to give it a fair show at a kidney dis
ease of long standing. It may seem ex
travagant. but the first day's use gave me
relief and before I had completed taking
one bottle mv disagreeable symptoms had
entirely disappeared. I have used two
bottles up to tiis time, and I have not felt
a trace of my disease for a weak.”

FORSYTH. MONROE COUNTY, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 8. 1886.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington. D. C., June 2. 1886.
Dear A dvertiser two long
mooted questions have been at last
settled. I mean the question of the
president’s marriage and his pur
chase ot a tract of land near the
capitol for a summer home. By the
time this letter reaches you our
chief magistrate will have embark
ed upon the matrimonial sea. The
wedding was officially announced,
late on Frida}’ night, to take place
on June 2d. the ceremony to be
performed in the blue room of the
white house, and the president's
pastor, Rev. Dr. Sunder.and of the
First Presbyterian church, to offi
ciate. Only twenty-five persons
outside of the immediate families
are to be invited. A tier the cere
mony a collation will be served in
the state dining-room. There will
be no bridal tour, as the president
and his bride will remain at the
white house till after congress ad
journs. A short trip may then be
taken, and on their return they will
occupy the home just purchased by
the president. This new home is a
fact and no fiction. The tleed was
placed on record, and is a finality.
The property was purchased in the
name of the present marshall of the
district, who used to be a real estate
agent hero, and in whose judgment
the president has great confidence.
The marshal afterwards deeded it to
Grover Cleveland for 821,000 in
round figures. The property con
tains twenty-eight acres, and on it
is a two-story stone double house.
Work will be begun at once to place
the house in suitable condition for
occupancy by the president. This
is the first instance since the infant
days of the republic that our chief
magistrate has occupied a house
owned by himself and furnished at
his own expense. It is surmised by
some that it is the president’s inten
tion to make this his permanent
home after he lays down the gavel
of authority at the white house.
Whether he does or not he can at
any time dispose of the property at
large advance on what he paid for
it. Many prominent men are buy
ing suburban property. General
Logan was the first one to buy, and
within one month after he bought
he was offered 810,000 more than
he paid for the property. Others
followed, among the latest being
Secretary Whitney, whose place is
adjacent to that just purchas&d by
the president. Since the president’s
purchase a small tract one mile
north of it has been bought by a
real estats agent for 815,000. The
real purchaser is not yet, known,
but it is supposed to be a man prom
inent in public affairs.
All this property lies close to what
is known as Kook creek noted tor
its wild and romantic scenery and as
the stream on which Fulton worked
liis first steamboat in 1807. The
valley of this stream forms a natur
al and beautiful park, and the com
missioners of the district have for a
long time been considering means for
improving it. Congress will doubt
less further the enterprise at some day
in the near future. When it is done
the president’s purchase will be the
most valuable in the district.
Affairs are lively at the legislative
halls this week. Oleomargarine has
caused the oil}* tongues of the mem
bers to speed without friction, ex
cept that kind which is brought on
by conflict of views, and of that
kind there has been much. It is
the only important question discus
sed in the house this session that has
not been tainted with party preju
dice. The opponents of the Dill did
much filibustering the several days
that it was under consideration, hut
whenever a vote was taken on a
proposed amendment it was appar
ent that the supporters of the bill
had the best of the controversy, and
that the bill would finally be car
ried by a handsome majority.
The shipping hill and the fishery
question were also discussed slightly,
hut both will come up for further
discussion soon. The labor arbitra
tion hill and the railroad land for
feiture bill took up much of the time
of the senate. The amendment to
the Chinese restriction act also came
in for consideration. Senator Sher
man took strong ground against the
immigration of Chinese to this coun
try. He is keen and far seeing and
is trimming tor the support of tlie
Pacific Slope in the next presiden
tial nominating convention. Usual
ly the president of the senate is
withdrawn from all debates, and so
does not come prominently before
the people in congressional pro
ceedings. But Senator Sherman is
an exception. He is determined
not to be shelved in that wav. and
so. while enjoying the high honor of
being president of the senate, fre
quently steps down on to the floor
and engages m the discussion of all
important questions.
By order of the president all the
executive departments are closed
to-day. and the whole city is at the
cemeteries, paytqg homage to the
brave dead. On motion of Repre
sentative Morrison the house ad
journed over from Saturday until
Tuesday, and like action was taken
in the senate.
The cabinet meeting on Thursdav
was a prolonged one. and the fisher
ies question was the principle ques
tion discussed. Ihe course to be
pursued has Dot rot been divulged.

CONGRESS AND ITS WORK.
Philadelphia Times.
The probable failure of congress
to do anything practical toward cre
ating anew navy, improving or re
placing our worthless seacoast forti
fications or adding to the numbers
and effectiveness of an entirely in
adequate army is already clearly
foreshadowed. Public land. Pacific
railway, general bankruptcy and
silver legislation arc also impera
tively required in the public interest,
but so far nothing lias been done on
any ot these subjects that should
have been done. But each house
has been trying to out do the other
m voting money out of the treasury
for pensions, puutie buildings and
river and harbor improvements that
won’t improve anything that will be
worth the improving.
In the facility with which the
present congress leaves undone the
things it should do and does the
thing it ought not to, it is probably
neither worse nor better than its
predecessors have been for the last
score of years. This is pre-eminent
ly the era of small men The aver
age congressman seems entirely in
capable of grasping or comprehend
ing any subject that is intended to
advance the general welfare. He
is, in general, the interested attor
ney of a single locality and believes
that it is iiis chief duty to secure
petty offices for as many of his con
stituents as possible and as much
money as lie can persuade his fellow
congressmen to divide with him to
erect public buildings and make
alleged river and harbor improve
ments in his district. Having done
this he feels at liberty to leave his
seat and spend as ctyeh time as he
sees fit looking a' r his political
fences, leaving mat, rs of vital mo
ment to the general public to take
care of themselves.
That there are honorable excep
tions to this rule of the reign of in
terested littleness in congress is true,
but that they are the exceptions
that prove the rule no dose observer
will be inclined to dispute. The
most discouraging feature ot this
very bad state ot affairs is that the
exceptions tend to grow fewer. The
really public-spirited men of first
class ability who get into congress
now adays are apt to get discoura
ged at their uttfr inability to do
anything of publii utility and leave
public life in div -st. Mr. Hewitt,
who has alre .lv 'J\i* , e<igthat the
J7\ f>C.. i. ’./i.-LLtV, U*7W‘'?V.. tkwfg I ess
and given as his reason for retiring
the fact that he can be of no use to
the public, owing to the overwhel
ming preponderance of selfish little
ness in that body, has simply spoken
what a good many men of his way
of thinking have acted upon without
saying anvthing about it before now.
This state of affairs, which is pat
ent to anybody who gives a mo
ment’s earnest consideration to the
measures that succeed and those
that, are beaten or ignored in con
gress, is discouraging enough. The
people have only themselves to
blame for it, however. They will
get such representatives in congress
as they really want. There isn’t a
congressional district in the United
States that does not contain men ot
public spirit and good ability who
would be glad to serve the public in
a congressional capacity. But they
don’t want to become office-brokers
and log-rolling subsidy-hunters.
They don't want to become lying
demagogues, promising everybody
everything they want,"knowing that
they must break nine-tenths of their
promises. The voters seem to want
the men who are willing to do these
things and they get them. They
will; keep on getting them Go
the end of the chapter, unless they
get up on a little higher plane them
selves. The legislation will grow worse
instead of better, until the voters
learn that statesmanship consists
in something higher and more im
portant than securing patronage and
extravagant appropriations.
Temper at Home.
1 have peeped into quiet “parlors”
where the carpet is clean and not
old, and furniture polished and
bright; into “rooms” where the
chairs are neat and the floor car
petiess;into “kitchens” where the
family live and the meals are cooked
and eaten, and the boys and girls
are as blithe as the sparrows in the
thatch overhead, and I see that it is
not so much wealth and learning
nor clothing, nor servants, nor toiß
nor idleness, nor town, nor country,
nor station, as tone and temper that
render homes happy or wretched.
And I see, too. that, in town or
country, good sense and God’s grace
make life what no teachers or ac
complishments, or means, or society
can make it—the opening stave of
an everlasting psalm ; the fair begin
ning of an endless existence ; the
goodly, modest, well proportioned
vestibule to a temple of God’s build
ing that shall never decay, wax old,
or vanish away.—Ex.

THE RIGHT VIEW.
In the following extract from the
letter of Hon. J. C. C. Black to the
Chronicle, is to be found the true
spirit that should control in select
ing men to fill the offices of govern
ment. Ignoring personal prefer
ment, let the people assert and main
tain control of public affairs and
put in office men whose administra
tion will redown to the general good:
Editors Chronicle :—The invita
tions with which 1 have been hon
ored to address the people on the
pending gubernatorial question seem
to impose upon me a duty to re
spond in some way. I cannot visit
the localities to which 1 have been
invited, and therefore adopt this
method of briefly giving some of my
views. It must.be a matter of re
gret to all good citizens that the
joint discussion between the candi
dates who aspire to the high office
very soon became so personal that
their respective representatives
agreed that the unity of the party
and the public good required that
they should be discontinued. But
when we come to think about it, is
it strange? Where gentlemen be
long to the same party, and agree
substantially upon the public ques
tions that must be determined during
the administration of the office to
which they aspire, there is little, if
anything to discuss but themselves,
and this being so, the effort of eacli
is to make his competitor inferior to
himself, and hence personal abuse
or detraction, and a mere wrangle
for office must follow. This must be
so until wo curb the disposition to
pursue office for the emoluments and
honor it brings, and learn that the
people have some capacity to select
tor themselves their own public ser
vants. As long as the people allow
it to be understood that no citizen is
to be called into office unless lie is
willing and able to conduct a long
and expensive canvass, in which iiis
chief employment is to be praise of
himself and detraction and abuse of
others, who are engaged as himself,
the services of many, very many,
worthy and qualified, who would, if
properly called, accept public sta
tion, must be lost to the state, for
they have neither the taste nor ca
pacity to pursue such methods.
To elevate the tone of our politics,
dignify the methods now too com
rnonly resorted to, to inculcafelfliesal
utary lesson that offices are ndt crea
ted to be dispensed as rewards,
even for the worthy, but to be con
ferred and enjoyed for the public
good ; that they bring not only em
olument and honor, but impose the
most sacred trust and the gravest
responsibilities, is far more impor
tant than the political preferment of
any individual. These high ends
so devoutly to be wished for cannot
be attained unless they are demand
ed and insisted upon by the virtuous
and intelligent, whose interest and
dut}’ call upon them to assert and
maintain thecontrolof public affairs.

How to Make a Happy Home.
Mrs. John in Cleveland Plaindealer.
Have no secrets from your com
panion. AYhat a husband knows a
wife should know. Never tell yotir
neighbors your troubles. Of course,
we must greet one’s friends with a
smile when we feel sad at heart.
Now husband, show your love tor
your wife, if need be. Christ suffer
ed for the church. Study to keep
her young. It is not work but wor
ry that wears. Keep a brave, true
heart between her and all harm.
Stay at home; habitual absence
during evenings is sure to bring on
sorrow. If your duty or business
calls you, that is all right, but if you
go out to mingle with other society
and leave your wife at home alone,
or with the children, you may be
sure there is no good in store for
you; home is your only retreat.
Take your wife with you in society.
She must see other people appear
and act.
Wife, love your husband ; seek to
secure your husband’s happiness ;
make your home attractive. This
means more than furniture ; it means
the thousand little touches ot taste
that drive the darkness out of the
corners, the stiffness out of the par
lor and the gloom out of the house.
Make your home so easy that you
will feel easy in it yourself. Keep
your house clean and in good order ;
it takes less time to keep things
than to neglect them. Even pover
ty is no excuse for dirt. Many a
man isdrivenfrom home by dirttothe
bar room, and through that to death.
Have your table clean ; your food
may be but coarse, but if it is clean
and put on in an inviting shape, the
meal will be relished. Of course,
all homes are not happy ones; but
if we would do our duty they might
be.
There is point, and much good
sense in the above paragraphs. If
home is not happy and pleasant,
then is husband ar.d wife adrift
upon the sea of trouble.
He’ll Not Live to See It.
The day when either house of
congress passes Senator Saulsbury s
bill disqualifying senators and rep
resentatives from being candidates
for president will be a golden day
in American history; but it is safe
to assume that Senator Saulsbury
j will never see it.— Philadelphia in
