The Cotton Market.
Thursday, Dec. 11th.
During the last week the cotton market
has been unusually active and excited, with
a alight advance on last week’s figures. We
quote: Good middlings 12J; middlings 12|;
low middlings 12; good ordinary 11|; ordi

GET OUT
From Under High Prices.
No more 24 percent, profits, as was real
ized fifty years ago. It will not do; but
large sales and small profits, and more of
them, is what wins in these days. Our cus
tomers love it, too, because it leaves a little
pocket change after supplies are bought.
We keep everything the people want in our
line, and we are determined to sell them as
cheap or a little cheaper than they can be
bought elsewhere. Dress goods we have in
a laige variety from 10 to 90 cer Is; table
linens, napkins, doilers and towels, full
assoctmert at bottom prices; piece goods,
repellants, fiance's and cloaks any price you
want. Calif d see i hem. We will sell you
while sroods linens, etc., all cheap. Blan
kets, shawls, etc., full assortment. We have
a very large stock of jeans, and at special
low prices. Don’t forget that when you get
ready to buy. We keep on hand a large
stock of Andrews’ shirts that we get direct
from the sac o.y, and we can give you the
bottom prices on them. You ail know that
Andrews’ shirt is the best on the market.
Our stock of ladies’ ha's, flours, ribbons,
etc., is ur>usually large, and we love to show
them. Without fear of contradiction, we
we have the largest and best stock of
jewelry in Gainesville. Call and see it, and
you will find it so cheap and good we will
sell you. We will get our third stock of
c'othing in this week. Come and see it. We
will sell lout of it, and it is all because we
sell it so cheap. Our stock of shoes and
hats we have full.
After this wrek we will be able to supply
you with anything you want in groceries, as
we hope to get in our new houses by the
last of this week, where we will have more
room to show our goods. We will be just
three doors above where we are now. Don’t
forget the place. Respectfully,
J. R. Babnes & Co.

The Atlanta. Constitution.
We invite a' intion to (he prospectus of the
Atlanta C.nstkdion. However much we
may at times differ with the Constitution, or
qoes on tue soundness of its views, we
accord it the p'ace of the best Georgia
newspaper. As a news gatherer, it has no
equal east of Louisville or south of Balti
more, and we could not get along without
it. To run a country newspaper without
the Ccnslii atlon is to play Hamlet with Ham-
Jet left out.
Quartely Meeting.
The second quarterly meeting of the Hall
county Sunday school association takes
place on the fourth Saturday in January.
At a meeting of the executive meeting
held last week, the chairman was instructed
to correspond with to determin
ing the place at which it shall be held,
which, when agreed upon will be duly made
known. Several speakers from a distance
will be invited to come and it is hoped to
make it an interesting and successful meet
ing.
Rev. J. M. Lowery.
This gentleman, who has so faithfully
served as pastor of the Methodist church
here during this year, left yesterday morn
ing for Powder Springs circuit near Mari
etta. His friends will be glad to know that
(he appointment is an excellent one, hav
ing a nicely furnished parsonage and a most
inieiesting work. We are sure he ani his
charming family will carry with them the
best wishes cf the people among whom he
has so zealously labored.
Debt Paid Off.
At the regular monthly conference of the
Baptist church last Saturday, it was an
nounced that the committee appointed to
raise funds to pay a debt which had long
been hanging over the church had succeed-.d
in raising more than enough for the pur
pose, and that this debt, so long an incubus
on tbe church, had been paid off in full.
This is very gratifying to the members of
tbe church, and too much credit cannot be
given to Dr. Bailey, the chairman of the
committee, and those who labored with him
to this end, for the success of their effor s.
Now that this waiter is disposed of, the
church should go forward and finish (he
building, complete its inside furnishing, and
then they would have one of the handsom
est church buildings in the state.
Municipal Election.
Tuesday the city election for mayor and
one councilman for each ward came off’ (the
other councilmen bol-'ing over). It was as
quiet and orderly as any election cf the kind
we have witnessed, but few except the ca i
didates themselves manifesting any special
interest; indeed, some of the candidates
seemed comparative'y indifferent. As a
result, the vote was light. We give below \
the offic'al vote:

He was Going to Marry.
A man rushed into Charley DuPre’s store
yesterday, and laid down a piece of paper on
which was written, “six pounds cinnamon,
1 gal. vinegar, 2 lbs. coffee, spice, nutmegs,
J gal. molasses, 2 lbs. sugar.” Be was
about to rush out again, when Tom Oliver
s opped him and said: “This is a dry good
store.” “Oh, I got hold of the ■wrong order,
then,” he added, laying down a piece of
paper and starting again. “Hold on!”
yelled Tom, after reading the paper. “You
don’t want to leave this: it’s a marriage li
cense.” “Gosh, all hemlock!” exclaimed
the young man, taking tbe license and
passing out the right order, which was for
laces, trimmings and buttons, etc. “I’m
getting’ excited. I’m ’bout to be married,
and it scares me so when I think of it, I
don’t know whether I’m here or in the mid
dle of next week. But she’s a daisy, stran
ger, and when we git settled down you
just watch me and her when we come in to
buy goods, if you want to see gorgeousness
and style, I’m going to have her ringed
out in the last scollops, an’ make the boys

Encouraging Mining News.
Dr. Stephenson ir x b-ms us that Messrs.
Hanna y and Rice, of the Ches?ate3 gold
miuiug company, who passed thre. gh he-e
on Wednesday evening going north, have
been arranging to canal the water fcm
Walker’s mountain to the Bee.-s lot to de
velop the celebrated “Boly Fields lead,”
Wr’ch traverses the company’s property for
nearly two miles. It is, with one exception,
tbe only place in Georgia where telLuiuoi
abounds. It is here that tellurium is found,
and the rare chemical combination cp'led
tetrad;tnyle, and the richest gold ore ever
found in the world. Only in two places in
Georgia has 'e’i.i.iu.m been found, oue
in Vi g’nia and one in Co'oiado. We are
glad io see ibis nfiae resuscitated, which
has been stopped by the war, fresheG and
other unavoidable causes since 1861. The
present company propose to develop it, and
have no doubt o r operiog one of the richest
mines ever worked in America. It will be
what lhe world calls a “sensational” mine.
Dr. Stephenson says ores can be shown that
will range from SIOO per ton to the fabulous
sum of $200,000. He has opened numbers
of veins, aud has no hesitancy in saying
that tb s and the Potosi mine, in South
America, carry the richest ores of any two
ve ns in the world. We a’-e t<uly glad that
ib s m-ne is about to be opened, not only
for the benefit of the owners, but more par
ticularly for the progress of science.
MURDER OF J. M. E. BROOKS.
A Former (i.ztn of Jackson County-
Ki'ltd In Te .as.
We are in receipt ol (he particulars of the
ki'i'tug on Wednerday of last week of Mr.
J. M B. Brooks, al Henrietta, Texas. Mr.
Brooks emigrated f.om our sister county of
Jackson, aud was a son of Mr. Alfred
Brnoks. forme ly of this city.
The particulars, as we learn them, are as
follows: M.\ Blocks was constable of Hen
liei'a, in Clay county. On Wed lesday a
patly of cow-boys, headed by a noted des
perado named Jim Jackson, came to town
and began ' taking the place.” Constable
Brools put in au appearance and by dint of
aufhoiity made a qu-etus to the row. The
boy: left town, but returned the next day
with the avowed intention of “taking the
place or killing Officer Brooks.” When they
a.lived in town they sought out Mr. Brooks
and made a friendly(?) adjustment of their
difficulty. They then adjourned to a saloon
near by and took a drink, after which the
cow-boj’s, four in number, bade Mr. Brooks
good-bye and left the saloon. When they
reached the street they separated, two going
one way aud two another. Soon after, Mr.
Brools’ a Jen ion was attracted by the rapid
discharge of pistols on the street. Going
out;‘ue saw tbe cow-boys engaged in a ran
dom discharge of their fire-arms. He at
once ordered them to desist, when they
turned their aim toward him and began
some sharp shooting. Finally a shot from
Jackson’s pistol struck Mr. Brooks, when he
dropped. The boys then left the town.
Upon examination, Mr. Brooks’ wounds
were pronounced mortal. He lingered till
(he next day, when he died. A pursuit was
organized and the parties captured and
placed in jail. Mr. Brooks made a dying
statement, in which he testified that Jack
bOn fired the shot that caused his death.
One Experience from Many.
“I had been sick and miserable so long
and had caused my husband so much trou
ble and expense, no one seemed to know
what ailed me, that I was completely dis
heartened and discouraged. In this frame
of mind I got a bottle of Hop Bitters and
used them unknown to my family. I soon
began to improve, and gained so fast that
my husband and family thought it strange
and unnatural, but when I told them what
had helped me, the said ‘Hurrah for Hop
Bitters ! Long may they prosper, for they
have made mother well and us happy.’”—

Positive Results.
There are Numerous remedies that cure
sometimes and breome trusted as useful, but
none have ever proved so effectual—cured
to many and such remerkable cases—as Dr.
Ayer’s medicines.
The cherry pectoral has restored great
numbers of patients who were believed to
be hopelessly affected with consumption.
Ague cure breaks, up chills and fever
quickly and surely.
Ayer’s compound extract of samparilla
eradicates scrofula and impurities of the
blood, cleanses the system and restores i
to vigorous health. By its timely use many
troublesome disorders that cause a decline
of health are expelled or cured.
Ayer’s pills and their effects are too well
known everywhere to require any recom
mendation from us here.— Scranton (Pa.)

ATLANTA CONSTITUTION.
During the coming year—a year that will
witness the progress and culmination of the
most interesting political contest that has
ever kei? place in this country—every cit
izen and every thoughtful person will be
compelled to rely rr on the newspapers so •
information. \Yhy not get the best? Abroad
The Constiiutaon is recognized, referred to
aud quo'ep as t’ut' leading . anthem joarntl
—as tbe organ s.'nd vehicle of the best
southern thought anil opinion—and at home
its columns are co> T'd for tbe latest
news, the freshest c- mment, and for all
matters of special and current interest.
Tue CoNSTirurroN contains more and later
telegraphic news than any other Georgia
paper, and this particular feature will be
largely added to during the coming year.
All its facilities for gathering the latest news
from all parts of the country will be en
larged and supplemented. The Constitu
tion is both chronicler and commentator.
Its editorial opinions, its contributions to
the drift of current discussion, i*' humorous
aud satirical paragraphs, are copied from
one end of the country to the other. It
aims always to be the brightest and the best
—newsy, original and piquant. It nims
particularly to give the news impartially
and fully, and to keep its readers informed
of the drift of current discussion by liberal
but concise quotations from all its contem
poraries. It aims, in short, to more than
ever deserve to be known as “the leading
I juthem newspaper.” Bill Arp will con
tinue to com.ibute bis unique letters, which
grow in savory humor week by week. “Old
Si” will add his quaint fun to the collection
of good things, and “Uncle Remus” has in
preparation a series of negro myth legends,
illustrating the folk-lore of the old planta
tion. In eve.y respect The CoNSTii.ur.ON
for 1880 will be better than ever.
The Weekly Constitution is a carefully

well understood by everybody. From Jan
uary Ist to December 31st it will be con
ducted as a new.-paper, written in the Eng
fish language, and printed for the people.
As a newspaper, The Sun believes in get
ting all the news of the world promptly, and
presenting it in the most intelligible shape
—the shape that will enable its readers io
keep well abreast of the a e wiib the least
unproductive expenditure of time. Toe
grea ?st interest to the greatest number—
that is, the law controlling its daily make
up. It now has a circulation very much
larger than that of any other Am ican
newspaper, and eujoys an income which it
is at all times prepared to spend liberally
for the benefit of i?i readers. People of all
conditions of fife and ah ways of thinking
buy and read The Sun; aud they all derive
satisfaction of some sort from columns,
for they keep on buying aud eiiliog it.
In its comments on mea and aea<rs. The
Son believes that the only guide of policy
should be common sense, inspwr 1 by genu
ine Ameiican principles and backed by hon
esty of purpose. For this reason it is, and
will continue to be, absolulely indepeiide-jt
of party, class, clique, organization, or in
terest. It is for aH, but of none. It will
continue to praise what is good and repro
bate what is evil, taking care that its lan
guage ii to the point aud plain, beyond the
possibility of being misunderstood. It is
uninfluenced by moi : ves tiat do not app r
on tbe surface; it has no opinions to s 1
save those which may be had by any pu -
chaser with two cents. It hates injustice
aud ;ascality even more than it hates un
necessary words. It abhors frauds, pities
fools, and deplores nincompoops of every
species. It will continue throughout the
year JBBO to chast se the first class, instinct
the second, and discovnteaan e the hd.
All honest meu, with ho jest convici ons,
whether sound or mistaken, are its P end .
And The Sun makes uo bones of telling the
truth (o its friends and afcjut its friends
whenever occasion arises for plain speaking.
These are the principles upon which The
Sun wifl be conducted during the coming
year.
The year 1880 will be one in which no
patriotic American can afford to close his
eyes to public affa-is. It is impossible to
exaggerate the importance of the political
events which it has in store, or (he necessity
of resolute vigilance on the part of eve y
citizen that desires to preserve the govern
ment that the founders gave ns. The de
bates and acts of Congress, the utterances
of the press, the exciting contests of the
republican and democratic parlies, now
neariy equal in strength throughout the
country, the vaiying drift of public senti
ment, will all bear d.rectly and effective'y
upon the twenty-fourth presidential e'ec
tion, to be held in November. Four years
ago next November the wJI of the nation,
as expressed at the polls, was thwarted by
au abominable conspiracy, the promoters
and beneficiaries of which still hold tbe
offices they stole. Wil! the c.ime of 1876
be repeated in 1880? The past decade of
yearn, opened with a corrupt, extravagant
and insolent administration intrenched at
Washington. The Sun did something tow
ard dislodging the gang and breaking its
power. The same men are now intriguing
to restore their leader and themselves to
places from which ihey were driven by the
indignation of the people. Will they suc
ceed? The coming year will bring the an
swers to these momentous questions. Trb
Sun wi" be on hand to chronicle the facts
e- they are developed, and to exhibit them
clearly and fearlessly in (heir relations to
expediency and right.
Thu®, with a habit of philosophical good
humor in look log at the minor affairs of
life, and in great things a steadiest purpose
to ma'ma' i the rights of the people aud (he
piinciol of he constitution against all
aggressois, The Sun is prepared to write a
truthful, instructive, and at the same time
entenaining history of 1880.
