THE SETTLING TIME HAS NOW COME. Patrons of This Paper are Urged to Pay Up Promptly. Information reached here Tues day of a big fire in our neighbor ing little city, Mitchell, looated about twenty five mileB up the Augusta Southern Railroad. It is siad that the fire was dis covered at ten o’clock in the wooden building occupied by Mr. J. B. Mathis. Before anything at all could be done to check the flames, they had gained so much headway that it was impossible to put the Are out, and in just a little while the entire block was a mass of flames. Mr. Carlos Underwood who had been flushing up his new hotel building was among the losers. The building was nearing com pletion and would have helped the looks of that little city a great deal He had eighteen hundred dollars insurance and was not as heavy a loser as the other fellows. Mr. J. H. May who has been moving his Btock to Chalker also suffered a small loss. It is said he lost a lot of goods and had no insurance. J. S. Mathis, who is well known here and formerly of this county, was in all probabilty the heaviest loser of all, not hav ing any insurance at all. His insurance policy had expired about two weeks ago and the rate being very high had not had the policy rewritten. Mr. Brady who runs a barber shop Had six hundred dollars in surance. A millinery establish ment was also burned with no in surance.

Both Found Guilty and Given Fines. of the fire-burned section was cov ered by insurance and oqly two people had that. The many friends of the unfor tunate ones in this fire deeply sympathize with them in their misfortune. The above information waB furnished us by a traveling man who happened to be in the little city at the time of the burning, and we presume is correct. Yesterday, Thursday, was a day in which the ladies of Sanders- ▼ille and vicinity had the pleasure of attending some of the prettiest millinery openings ever held in Sandersville. They will be long remembered as having surpassed any previous displays. The grms in this city who had their openings on the first were Messrs, fucker Richbourg-Mitch- ell Co.. Happ & Paris and Isaac Silver <fe Bro., and when their doors were thrown open perhaps the prettiest display of hats and millinery creations of every de scription were inspected by the ladies. The stocks were unusally complete and the interest mani fested by femininity gave uudis- putable evidence of the fact that Sandersville merchants have at last convinced the public that there is no necessity for going to Macon and Atlanta for their head- gear. Beautifully trimmed fall and winter hats for ladies, misses and children, exact copies of the Paris styles, were shown and some of the creations wore a revelation even to those who keep posted as to the latest in these goods. The prices ranged from the modest looking head-gear costing only a few dollars to magnificent ones valued at $40and over. The wives and daughters had an op portunity to make a selection to suit the purses of their husbands and fathers, and there was little excuse for any one not to obtain anything desired and at any price. por Your Information WHILE THE GOODS LAST.
