Without any desire to appear presumptions, T assert that I have now in stock the largest,
most corefullv selected and closest bought stock, of DRY GOODS, NOTIONS, FANCY

from first hands, cut my expenseses close and give my customers the benefit of it all.

closely, and am prepared to make all competition tremble if you will give me a show.

thing for Barnesville, but I have got them. I buy all the grades from the cheapest to
the best, and can accomodate all classes of trade
Dress Goods in Black and are made a specialty.

Building and Loan Associations.
New York Evening Sun.
The legislature of Now York has
before it a Dill introduced byAssem
blyinan George 11. MeAdam, the
purpose of which is to exempt build
ing, loan, and co-operative associa
tions from taxation on their capital
stock.
There are, it is said, fully three
hundred of these associations in New
York state, with an invested capital
of 820,000,000, most ot it saved by
those who work for day wages.
Several of these associations have
been organized during L'e past few
months in tins ctsriui-'
cates of incorporation, however, are
only delivered on payment of one
eighth ot one per cent, on the capi
tal stock.
These associations arc mostly
similar to the six hundred which
have given Philadelphia so many
small houses for working people,
and which arc said to have invested
8100,000,000. As described by those
familiar with these enterprises, an
ordinary organization, which starts
on the basis of 8500,000 capital
stock, must issue 2,500 shares, each
share representing a dollar, and
matured, 8200. Experience shows
that all these shares will mature, on
an average, in about ten years.
From 100 to 300 members will read
ily absorb the stock, and each mem
ber can borrow to the full extent ot
his shares. Thus a member holding
15 shares can obtain a loan of 83,000
at once, purchase or build his home,
move in and pa}' into the association
815 each month with interest. Jn
ten years he owns the house. An
example of the way the system
works may be found in the case of
the young man who sells hundreds
of Evening Suns at the Pennsylva
nia ferry, on the New Jersey side.
Ilej joined a Jersey City association
three years ago, and now owns two
houses.
The object of the Me Ad am bill is
to remove the objection now' raised
against taxing these associations on
their capital stock. The argument
of its friends is that since the capital
as soon as created is invested of
necessity in real estate, where it is
taxed, the law as it now stands
taxes the capital.

A Captain’s Fortunate Discovery.
Capt." Coleman, schr. Weymouth,
plying between Atlantic City and
X. Y., had been troubled with a
cough so that he was unable to
sleep, and was induced to try Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Consump
tion. It not only gave him instant
relief, but allayed the extreme sore
ness in his breast. His children
were similarly affected and a single
dose had the same happy effect.
Dr. King’s New Discovery is now
he standard remely in the Cole
man household and on board the
schooner. Free J rial Bottles of this

The Whipping Post.
Georgia will probably be forced to
introduce the whipping post for
minor offenses. There are now
I 1,500 convicts in the chain-gang of
| the state, and this number does not
include those convicts in county
chain-gangs. The majority of these
convicts are negroes. The whipping
post should have ended the punish
ment of many of these cases. Swift
and sure punishment is what the
criminal needs. The negro, in
many cases, does not need long pun
ishment. This whipping post busi
ness is a practical question, but the
constitution of the state prohibits it.
There will be an attempt to amend
the constitution, uo doubt.—Ex.
The Progress of the “Boom.”
In an article under the above head
ing the Courier-Journal concludes
with the following:
The Courier-Journal early and
late has pointed out to the southern
people the wisdom of more business
and less politics, and to the world
the magnificent endowments of the
southern country. It know all
about the mineral wealth ot East
Tennessee and .North Alabama,
and it found out how cheaply iron
was being made there, and what
big fortunes were piling up in a few
ha nils, it published the facts. They
were stoutly’denied by the clique
which had the field to itself. It
proved them. Then, when denial
was no longer possible, the “boom”
was started, and ever since the
Courier Journal, which was de
nounced for making it possible and
advertising it, has been denounced
because wo have refused to indorse
and support the bucket-shop wa}* of
it. Speculation is no better south
than north. It. is bound to hurt the
many and enrich the few. Already
they arc gambling in real estate just
as they gamble elsewhere in stocks,
and, as soon as the reaction sets in,
as it surely will, the poor people
who have put their little all upon it
will come out fleeced. No enter
prise is legitimate winch rests on
such foundations. N"o prosperity
can last which is not built upon
honest labor. “Booms,” as they are
called, are snares; and nothing is so
illusory as “paper booms.”
The south needs fresh money and
energy. She has the resources to
command them. These should be
widely and fairly advertised. In
the long run, they are hound to
prevail over the worst system of
legislation and speculation. Mean
while the Courier-Journal would be
untrue to its mission and its readers
if it failed to desseminate, along
with stern facts, sound doctrines.
Of the result we are not afraid.

Only a Question of Time.
Atlanta (Ga.,) Dixie.
The natural resources of the south
are vast, and they are continuing to
attract the attention of northern
capitalists. The mineral lands have
nearly all been bought up, and by
another decade the industrial en
terprises of Dixieland will have as
sumed gigantic proportions. The
farming lands are equally valuable
under intelligent cultivation, and it
is only a question ot time when the
waste worn-out fields ot Georgia
will, under the magic touch of in
dustry, blossom like the rose. It
requires skill and patient work, but
under a proper process the laborer
will be amply awarded.
THE MAY DRILL.
The Affair Encouraged by State Rep
resentatives.
Washington, March 21.—The na
tional drill, commencing on May 23
and ending on the 30th ot that
month, decoration day, with a grand
combination parade of the national
guardsmen and Ue grand army of
the republic, is no longer an experi
mental affair. It is a fixed ami as
sured success, both in its financial
and military features, and in the un
equaled crowds of excursionists and
visitors from civil life now sure to be
attracted by' its varied features.
Details of the distribution of 526,-
500 in cash prizes, besides stands of
colors, gold, silvor and bronze med
als and sjieeial medals and plate
trophies have already been publish
ed. Saturday night entries were
accepted, on the formal blanks is
sued by the secretary, of seventeen
first-class commands. These entries
so far received now number thirty
seven, and a number ot others are
reported as returned for correction
before the next weekly meeting.
Thirty-six different states aro rep
resented in the applications already
received, and letters wero read from
the governors of sixteen states re
plying to circulars sent out to ask
views of the state commanders-in
chief as to the utility of the encamp
ment and drill, and as to their in
tent to be present for the national
review and inspection of the troops
from all states on governor’s day.
Singular unanimity of approval of'
the object of the governors’ da}’
feature marks these letters, most of
them bearing strongly upon the na
tional and fraternal spirit in which
the drill had been received and
managed.
An Aged Pedestrian.
Next to a walking match is Mr.
11. It. Sail Iter’s walking fifteen miles
in one day, fishing and hunting.
He lives at Athens, Ha., is 75 years
old, has had a running uleer on his
leg 50 years—one-half a century —
and previous to that day had not
walked over half a mile per day *or
30 years. Mr. Sail Iter, the Banner-
Watchman and Jtev. Dr. Calvin
Johnson say that B. B. B. cured the
ulcer and restored him.
“Oh, Josic” said little, gleeful
Maid, “we are going ag’ ha./e some
honey at our home.” How do you
know?” asked Jessie. “Because
mamma sent the servant after three
B’s, and I don’t know what bees arc
good for only to make honey.”
What to Teach Our Daughter.
At a social gathering, says the
Charleston, S. (J., Dispatch, someone
proposed this question : “What shall
I teach my daughter ?” The follow
ing replies were handed in.
Teach her 100 cents make 81.
Teach her how to arrange the
parlor and the library.
Teach li3r to say “No,” and mean
it, or “Yes,” and stick to it.
Teach her how to wear a calico
dress, and to wear it like a queen.
Teach her to sew on buttons, darn
stockings and mend gloves.
Teach her to dress for health and
comfort, as well as for appearance.
Teach her to cultivate flowers
and to keep the kitchen garden.
Teach her to make the neatest
room in the house.
Teach her to have nothing to do
with intemperate or dissolute young
men.
Teach her that tight lacing is un
comely, as well as injurious to health.
Teach her to regard the morals
and habits, and not money, in selec
ting her associates.
Teach her to observe the old rule.
“A place for everything, and every
thing in its place.”
Teach her that music, drawing
and painting are real accomplish
ments in the home, and are not to
be neglected if there be time and
money for their use.
Teach her the important truism :
“That the more she lives within her
income the more she will save, and
the further she will get away from
the poor house.’
Teach her that a good, steady,
church going mechanic, farmer,
clerk, or teacher without a cent, is
worth more than forty loafers or
non-producers in broadcloth.
