That our trade this Spring is better than ever
More.
That the safest place to buv Dry Goods is where
everv article is put at the lowest possible price and
nothing is thrown in.
That "baits” and - "premiums” are dearly .'paid for
somewhere else ip the biU.
That we never load ur with trash with a view to
gettin? from the unreflecting the name of selling
cheap; but that on reliable, useful Goods, our prices are
always Lower than those of the "cheap” trash concerns
This has been proved so often bv actual demonstration,
that we can refer to hundreds, nav thousands, who
have tested the matter for themselves.
That our Slock—always the best—is this season
incomparably ahead of anv other in Georgia, and that
ivervthing New and desirable is promptly added on
its first appearance.
That we depend on Fair Dealing and the Merit
of our Goods for our success in business.^

DALY & ARMSTRONG,
MASONIC TEMPLE,!Augusta, Ga.
THISUS THATWKSKEH.
(Peternburg Index.)
We. need more pasturage for cattle,
sheep and hogs—more land devoted
exclusively to grass and fruit growing
for consumption by stock. Wild range
and free grass arc too cheap to be of
much value. We must keep our stock
on our premises, and set apart large
, portions of the farm for them to range
over. This can be done in most in
stances without interfering much
with the lilage land.
We need cool dairy houses and
nice cellars and springs of cool water
all utilized in the making of first-class
butter. A thoroughly equip) cd dai
ry docs not exist ir. the South, where
general farming and planting is the
rule. We need good butter ana sweet
rich milk in ourdaily r-.-past To have
butter that is better than soap grease
we need dairy houses and all the nec
essary appliances for sensible anil
cleanly handling of milk and* but
tcr.
We need graperies on almost every
farm, and near town In every garden
Graphs for desert, grapes for lunch,
grapes for lams and jellies, grape*
for laris, dried grapes pickled grape*
preserved grapes, and grapes for wine
for the cup Ibnt exhilarates, hut does
not lea tializc. Concords. Catawba*
Isabellas, etc., and that incomparable
gem of southland, the Sciippernong.
Yes we need graperies; ve need vines
in every nook and corner of the far pi
Not mere slumps pruned to death,
after the style of ether sections, but
vines left to grow and spread at their
own free will, with plenty ot spread
ing room and a good support allowed
them. The Virginia vine grape Done
of the best, and should never be
pruned. Let it run at wilt on a
a spreading tree or wide arbor.
We need more bottom land for corn
and for timothy ; marsh ami alluvial
land for grazing; orchards and pas
turage grasses tint on the hillsides;
a better division and a more general
separations of sterk, one kind from
unother ; more sowed crops and less
tillage, and we need cattle and stork
sheds comfortable, clean and dry the
year round, that shall be cool in sum
mer, warm in winter and always
healthful.
Ws need, especially tier**, more or
iginality and less copy ingleeertel>i
of farin'*;. Our sectional features
of climate soils and plant are dis
tinet, and wo need different methods
of doing things. In a word, our ag
riculture is peculiar and our plan* and
operations should be peculiar too.
Not copyists, but discoverers we must
be.
THE POURTH OP JULY IN HA£ON
There were over five thousand peo-
I>lo in Central City Park last Fourth
of July to wittiest the many attrac
tions arranged by the Macou Public
Library. This year the Library has
doublet! the attractions, preseiitiutc
more interesting features, and Ma
con invites all the people of the State
to be present. Wo-givo Itelon some
of the lending features of the pro
gramme :
Grand Military I trill between
teams of sixteen men from the various
companies of the Slate. There will
be front tifteen to twenty teams pres
ent, and they Will make one ot the.
most brilliant military displays ever
seen in the State.
Grand Tournament, in which the
voting men of the State will enter-
The successful knight \grill receive a
J. I*. Stevens A Cos. Georgia made
watch, worth fl&i, ami will also
crownthe queen of Jove and beauty.
Grand Swimming Match in the Oe
ntulgee, in which a number of expert
swimmers will take part.
Grand Hurdle Race. This was one
of the most interesting and exciting
exercises of last year.
Grand Bicycle Race, in which the
experts will engage. The Macon Bi
cvle Club have their own trick at the

Fireworks at night and numerous
other features will make up one great
day and night. The various Rail
roads will give very low rates, thus
allowing everydodv within a radius
of one hundreds miles to spend the
great holiday in Macon. It will be
the grandest Fourth of JfHy Celebra
tion over seen in Georgia.
It is related ofMr. Whittier that he
once lent a volume of Plato to ouc of
the neighboring farmers. When the
book was returned he asked : “Well,
friend, how did the like my friend
Plato?" “First rate,” said the fanner;
“I see he's got some of my ideas. - ’
A WHOLESOME CHECK.
The only complaint made by any
portion ofibe IX-moo rat party against
the course of President Cleveland’s
administration so far, is We Snt
commends it to us. It is his tardiness
in supplying applicants for the office*
they ask for. It is a time that a .'heck
and a rebuke was given to the fast
growing idea that change,* of admin
istration are desirable mainly on ac
count oftlie offices which they will
secure for the winning pari) - . This
feeling ami aim not only degrades
ourpolitics, but corrupts their meth
od* and demoralizes the people. The
man who attache* himself to and
works for a party simply because lie
hope* for obtain from it offices for him- 1
seil or friends, and becomes soured to-1
toward l lie administration because he I
is disappointed in this respect, eannut
be tolled upon in any contest for the I
supremacy of correct principals or the I
success of good measures. He is only
a mercenary, taking his position, and
rendering iiis service to pay. It
would lx a good thing for tlie coun
try if all such were disappointed in
their selfish scramble for office.
The President and his cabinet offi
cers are evidently proceeding just a*
last as prudence and propriety will
permit in removing tlie'Vffeusivo par
tisan” of the Kepublican party now
in public service and tilling their
places with Democrats. Blit a reform
of this kind, to be thorough and com
mendable. must have for its chief pur
pose tiie puriticalion f ttie service
—not the turning out of the one act We
partisan and the substitution of anoth
er who lias no other rvonmincndatkiii
than opposing parii-aiiship Te the lat
ter class of |>olitiriaii* who “make or
break" with an administration simply
becausu they or their favorites do not
get office from it must belong, and
wo believe tiie disappointment and
dis affection of this class will Uot
weaken, but rat hen at rent hen, the ad
min Ist ration.—Rome Courier.

—Your most valuable medicine
(SwitVs Specific) lias done me so much
good that i feel like saying this for
the beuitit af those who suflfcr like 1
did. I was poisoned by poUou oak,
and *awjxot a well day for six veals,
until I used Swift Specific. In the
six years I used almost every kind of
medicine, but none bad the desired
effect. After using six bottles of
Swift's Specific lam restared to per
fect health—with no sign ol that aw
ful poison left. David Neduet.
I bad for tliirty-elgbt years suffer,
ed every spring and summer with
poison oak which I contracted in hath
when a boy. I tried everything for
it, including many physicians, hut
without rny benefit. I look six bot
tles of Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.) •our
years ago, and it cured me sound and
well. Three summers have passed
and 1 have had no return of it,

Ul9od Taint,
I was suffering Irom Blood Poison
and Mercurial Rlieina listr, and, had
spent fjtX) for treatment with no beitt
lit, and it seemed that l was doomed
to die. ( aught at Swift’s Specific as
drowning man would at a straw, and
it has saved mefrotu,a horrible death
and cured me sound a ltd well. It is
the greatest medicine in the world.

Uorrov of MtoerHl Poison,og
Thousands of persons ate poisoned
in America by the continued use of
Mercury, lodide of Potassium and
other minerals,givetifor various disea
ses. The Mercury works it way into
the titsuesgtroducing rheumatism and
decay of the bones. The lodide or
Potassium cats away the coating of
the stomach, and dries up the gastric
juices which digest the food, and the
patient lingers along in agony or Is
glad to die to get away from misery.
Swift's Specific is a complete antidote
to all this poison. It eliminates Mer
cury from the system, removes the
evil effects of lodide of Potassium,
and brings hack health and happiness.

Macon Telegraph and Messenger:!
Yesterday morning a gentleman and
his wife left tho north-bound train
for Atlauta at the depot for a few
minutes, leaving their three small
children in the ear. The train left
before they returned, and the parents
were wild. A telegram was sent to
the agent at Joliette, the first tele
graph station, to hold the children
until the father and mother could
reach there with a horse and boggy.
The last we heard of the party they
were on their way to Joliette by the
wagon road, nearly crazed about their
children.
