-v- i.i,. . _,i oifaniiTg, it is our pet hobby
and we can’t help it. We spent a month
in the north and east and a large portion of
our time was spent in hunting bargains
and novelties in this line, and feel that we
have been amply rewarded. We have
the largest, most stylish and best selected
stock ever shown in Middle Georgia. If
you don’t believe it call and bo convinced.
Have sizas to fit any one from a miget to
a giant, and styles to suit any class from
the toney dude to the common day laborer,
and at prices to please all from a Vanderbuilt
to a Job. Don’t buy a suit or overcoat ’till
you have come to headquarters and exam- I
ined our immense stock.
Advice to Housewives.
Don’t entice flics into your cook
room by leaving a little milk in one
cup and grease in another between
meals. Scald your tin vessels with
lye water. Wash your table ware
in soapsuds and rinse them in water
slightly blue. Keep handy a piece
of sandpaper to rub your steel knives.
Put your silver spoons, knives and
forks in a white flannel sack con
taining powdered chalk.
Don’t make a tire in your back
yard every three months for the
purpose of burning up your old
clothes. Tear them in strips one
halt inch wide, sew together firmly
and smoothly; wind them into balls.
Have your husband make you two
wooden kniltingneedles, thirty inch
es long, cast on your stitches in the
usual manner for knitting plain
cloth, knit back and forth until you
get a rug of any desired length.
Spread them around your cook-stove.
Take fifteen cents and buy you a
brush for cleaning the handles of
your cups, stands, ect. Dirt settled
around the handles of table-ware
looks nasty. Brush back your hair
and see that your collar is properly
adjusted before sitting down to do
the honors of the table, if you don’t
feel pleasant see if you can’t assume
a pleasant appearance at the table;
nothing looks better.
Don’t feed your company on ap
ologies ; give them something more
substanial. Before going out shop
ping know what you want and the
quality of the same ; don’t pull and
haul over every piece of goods in the
store. If you are not a good judge
of the article you want frankly tell
your merchant so, and request him
to select it for you.
Don't entertain your visitors by
lamenting over your inferior help
or by not having an}' at all. Hire
yonr help by the year and pay them
a salary sufficient to keep them.
You had better pay §l2 per month
for good help than §5 for inferior
help if you believe in falling from
grace. —Chicago News.

Westmoreland Bros.: Nearly two |
years ago 1 contracted malaria into ;
my system, and suffered greatly from j
time to time from it in various forms j
in which it developed. Sometimes !
had severe chills and fevers—indi- j
gestion followed it, and I was gener
ally out of health. Last spring for
more than two months I was greatly
troubled with a disordered condition
of the bowels, which 1 believe was
the result of the malaria still existing
in my system. 1 visited two or
three mineral springs celebrated for
the cure of malarial diseases, with
out the slightest benefit. I was also
treated as the different symptoms
developed by the most skillful phy
sicians, but was not relieved. About
two months ago, I concluded to try
Calisaya Tonic, prepared by West
moreland Bros., but I must confess 1
had little confiidencc of being mate
rially benefitted by it. I have la icon
rive or six bottles of tne Tonic—from
the begining I felt relief and contin
ued to improve, until now 1 feel
quite as well and in as perfect health
as I ever did in my life, and believe
I am perfectly well.
11. P. HAMMETT, President.
Thes effects of malaria in the svs
tem is a hard thing to eradicate, but
will promptly yield to the wonderful
and sovereign remedy, Westmore
land’s Calisaya Tonic. Try it.
Take Dr. Duke’s Anti Bilious
Wafers with Tonic if your liver is
out of order. *

E. Van Winkle & Cos., Atlanta Ga.
Dear Sirs: The Gin 1 bought
from you was highly rccomondod
to mo, and I find it great deal bet
tor than recomended to be. I have
made as high as 589 pounds bagging
and ties included, out of 1,500 pounds
seed cotton, it there is a Gin ot
any other make in Georgia that can
beat it, let tiie owner trot her out.
The adjustable mote board is the
greatest improvement 1 have ever
secu on a Gin.
Yours truly,

Messrs. E. Van Winkle & Cos.
Dear Sirs: If I was to try to tell
you how 1 like your Feeders, i know
I would not be able to say half enough.
J simply say they are indispensable
to a Gin, as the}' can bo attached to
any style of a Gin, makes them so
that no one can afford to be with
out it—in fact, i would not run a
Gin without it.

Cotton Mills in the South.
Under the above heading the
Morning News contains the follow
ing.
The last report of tnc National
Cotton Exchange, of New Orleans,
contains some statistics in regard to
the manufacture of cotton goods in
the south, which are interesting and
tying. Th< so stati sties
that the consumption of cotton in
creased in the southern states from
381,006 halos in 1885-86 to 401,452
in 1886-87—a difference in favor of
the latter year of 20,386. This is an
increase of only 5 per cent., which
is not very great, but wich is a very
much better showing than that made
by the mills of the northern states,
which consumed 71,398 bales less
during the last cotton year than the
year before. That the relatively
more rapid increase in th . mth was
not the result of temporary causes is
>wn by the f ct that
the consumption of southern mills
has increased from 184.943 to 401,-
452 bales, or 125 per cent., while that
of Northern mills has risen from
1,387,396 bales to 1,710,080, or 23
per cent. The southern production
was then one-ninth of the total, and
is now 1 one-fifth.
A table is given which shows the
consumption of cotton by the mills of
each of the southern states. From
this it is seen* that there Ims been an
increase in ail except three—Mis
souri, Texas and Florida—since 1880.
It is gratifying to know'that Geor
gia has made the largest actual gain
in that time, her mills taki ig 12
hales, against 71,389 —an increase of
55,313 bales in seven years.
Two Ways to Layup Money.
Now there are two ways of faying
up mone}'; the one by investing it
in stock and depositing it in banks
and loaning it on bond and mortgage.
The other way of laying up money
is giving it away. lie is the safest
who makes both of these investments.
But the man who devotes none of
his gain to the cause of Christ, and
thinks oniy of his own comfort and
luxury, is not safe. 1 don’t care how
Bis money is invested, lie acted as
the rose if it should say: “1 will hold
my breath and no one shall have a
snatch ot fragrance from me until
next week, and then I will set all
the garden afloat with the aroma.”
The time comes but having been
without fragrance fur so long, it has
NUMBER 38.
In conclusion will say that wo
don’t intend to ho undersold by any
one, and don’t ask you to trade with
us because you arc kin to us, or bc
-v )U likens but bccn'A so
and certain lywYn save you money.

Arc still with me and would be pleas
ed to have their friends call on them.
Yours to please,
nothing tlicn to give. But above
all lay up treasures in heaven. They
never depreciate in value. They
never are at a discount. They are
always available. You may feel
safe now with your present yearly
income, but what will such an in
come he worth after you are dead ?
Others will get it. Perhaps some of
them will quarrel about it before
you are buried. They will bo right
glad that you arc dead. They are
only waiting for you to die. What
then will all your accumulation bo
worth if you could gather it all into
! your bosom and walk up with it to
heaven’s gate? It would not pur
chase your admission : or, if allowed
to enter, it would not buy you a
crown, or a robe, and the poorest
saint in heaven would look down
and say: “where did that pauper
come from ? ' —Talmage.
Some physiologists are more in
clined to blame barbers than hats
for the increasing evil of prcinaturo
baldness. Frequent shampooing and
washing greatly injure the growth
of hair by removing its oily matter,
though a common notion is that

j cleanliness.
