FRIDAY MORNING. AUGUST 11, 1871.
Fort Valley Fair.
We trust that the Industrial Exhibition to
iako place this day at the flourishing town of
Fort Valley, will be largely attended by the
eiitzens of Macon.
A long list of premiums will bo awarded for
almost every conceivable product of the soil,
dairy, loom, kitchen, orchard, workshop and
mechanic and fine arts. Even the “blessed ba
bbles” will ha vo a showing.
This deponent expects to be on hand and ex
amine everything.
If he could only summon by express or tele
gram, a certain little golden-haired, blue-eyed,
winsome cherub, tho smartest child in creation,
and the prettiest too, he should be certain of
securing at least one prize on this occasion.
The increasing number and frequency of
these agricultural fairs, and tho widespread in
terest they engender in all that relates to the
material progress of our people, afford the most
cheering indications that Georgia will continue
to maintain her prestige as the Empire State of
tho South.
Dospito the profligacy and extravagance of
her rulers—tho oppression of tho Federal Con
gress—tho reign of carpet-bagism—the full ex
orcise of universal suffrago with all its balefnl
influences, and tho ravages of the late bloody
war, she is rapidly rising in hor majesty and
pluming her wings for a loftier, nobler flight in
tho future. God bless our gallant common

JInyor IInil's Address.
Tho IntenoBS of the hour will prevent any ex
tended comment upon this interesting paper.
Wo can only say that it is straightforward and
manly in its tone, and our chief magistrate does
not hesitate to look our financial difficulties
squarely in tho face. Many of his suggestions
aro excellent, and should bo carefully consid
ered. Especially do we endorse the movement
on foot to securo the revaluation of city prop
erty, with a view to the correction of existing
errors.
If equality in taxation be a fundamental prin
ciple, then a just and uniform scale of valuation
is essential to tho maintenance of that equality.
If this cannot bo obtained from interested own
ers, tho only remedy is to take the matter out of
tboir hands by the appointment of discreet
assessors.
Tho Mayor recommends a tax of 1 i per cent,
upon nil proporty, so that the most of the city
cnrroncy may be retirod at once, and the dobt
of tho city paid off within two or three years.
This is a consummation devoutly to be wished
for, if not too onerous upon the holders of
proporty. Wo see no impropriety in making
postorify bear a portion of tho burdens created
for tho prospective benefit of tho city. They
will enjoy all tho advantages, and should help
to pay for tho same. The address will be ex
tensively read by our people.
Ncttmlal In High Idle.
Wo have no patienoe for the columns of gos
sipping scandal which fill the New York papers,
relating to alleged tiaaona of the ex-Empcror
Napoleon. In the first place, the evidence is
wnnting to substantiate all snch charges, and
oven if tboy were true, tho press has certainly a
higher mission to perform than to become the
vohlclo of snch gross violations of chastity and
tho marital relation. Sueh publications serve
but to demoralize tho tone of society, and afford
a quasi support to libertinism and licentious
ness. For this reason, as well as the utter and
diabolical falsity of tho report, we have refrained
from reposting the railroad slandor against ex-
Presidont Davis. Cannot tho life-long reputa
tion, and grey hairs of an ostracised and unfor
tunate patriot shield him from the shafts of
calumny ? No anchorite, or hermit in his cave
was over freer than he, from the very suspicion
of tho crime impntod to him. Let ns not for
get, howevor, that oven tho Saviour of mankind
was slandered, spit upon, and reviled.
The host and noblest of earth aro at the mercy
of tho tradneer, if unsupported assertions and
villainous fabrications aro to be received as gos
pel. Let a tree bo jndgod by it fruits, and a
man by the character he has uniformly sus
tained, oven when assailed by the tongue of
calumny, in tho absence of clear and indisputa
ble proof to conviot. Who is safo if we act
otherwise ?
Putnam County.—Our friends in Putnam, os
wo judgo from tho report of a correspondent
in to-day’s paper, came near having a serious
time at tho election last Monday. Somo of the
disorderly negroes had made elaborate prepara
tions for n fight, and nothing prevented a good
deal of trouble lind mischief, but the firm de'
mcanor of tho whites, and tho discovery by the
black fighting phalanx, at tho pinch, that they
had a good deal moro discretion than thoy sup
posed. Wo aro very glad that tho storm blow
over with so little damage, and the lesson of
this election, ns well as of all others which have
boen hold in Georgia since tho war, is briefly
this: all snch bullying and turbulence must be
met on tho instant with n cool, but indomitable
resolution to maintain order and enforce law at
all hazzarils. There is no moro oertain way to gel
up a fight and bloodshed than to permit the
idea that tho polls can be overran with impuni
ty. Putnam saved herself from disorder and
violonoo by showing her teoth to the bullies at
right time.
The Baxn'Buxdoe Ajious.—This sterling shoot
so trao in its patriotism, politics, and morality,
from tho improvements announced in another
oohunn, will soon take rank with the best family
newspapers in the South.
Tho literary department will be ably con
ducted, and an ample staff of efficient and ac
complished editors, by their united efforts can
not foil to ensure the success of the enterprise.
Rev. Willis M. Russell is a practical and ex
perienced writer, and enjoys the confidence and
esteem of all who know him. Snch a paper is
greatly noeded in Southwest Georgia, and we
bespeak for it an abundant patronage.
Let it bo a visitor to every family and hearth
stone in that section of the State.
Don't Aouee.—The London papers all say
that the Prince of Wales and the Marquis of
Lorn aro evidently not the best of friends; in
fact, there is an undoubted split in the English
royal family, in consequence of the eontnmeli
ous treatment of the Marquis by his brother-in-
law. The Marquis and his spirited spouse have
stood aloof from the royal party at all the re
cent state ceremonies and fetes.
Cotton Estimate.—Our compositors made
Norton, Slaughter & Oo.’s estimate of the oom-
ing orop read 4,250,000 to 3,500,000 bales. It
should have been three and a quarter to throe
and a half millions.
Cits Finance Er.rokts.—Some few errors
having occurred in the nnmerous figures of this
report, wo reprint it to-day in a supplement
at tho order of tin- city authorities.
Bibb County Taxadles.—Mr. Benson reports
as the aggregate of Bibb county taxable values,
$8,020,160—about a million dollars in excess of
last year.
A Stoi.en Watch.—The polioe want to find
the owner of a watch which they believe to
,,ave been stolen. See advertisement.
Under Federal Gnns.
Now Orleans presented on Wednesday, ono
of the most extraordinary spectacles over wit
nessed in tho United States since Federal Bay
onets have been formally introdneed into Amer
ican politics. “Governor” Warmouth and
“Lieut. Governor” Dunn, are both specimens
of tho very worst development of Southern
Radicalism, and, though elected on the same
ticket, are at daggers’ drawn in their various
schemes for plundering the unhappy tax-payers
of Louisiana. Within the past month or two,
it has been formally announced that the admin
istration of Gen. Grant sides with Drum in this
quarrel. A State Convention had been called
to meet in New Orleans last Wednesday, and,
aftera fierce contest between the factions, it was
known that rival sets of delegates would contest
for seats in this body, and much excitement and
possible violence was feared.
In this condition of affairs, it appears from
tho press telegrams of yesterday that at an early
hour two companies of United States Infantry
took possession of the convention hall, and a
large force of deputy United States Marshals
guarded every entrance. Warmouth and his
adherents, some eighty in number, were refused
admission and organized ^n independent con
vention in another hall, while Dunn and his
crowd, supported by the military, the executive
posse and the Federai office-holders, proceeded
to organize their convention.
The utter worthlessness of the parties con
cerned precludes all personal interest in the
fight; but this does not at all mitigate the des
potic and lawless character of the proceeding.
It will be claimed in extenuation that the Con
vention Hall was government property and the
government could not permit its safety to be
hazarded. That would have been a good reason
for refusing tho nso of the hall to the Conven
tion ; but it certainly was no justification of the
course of the Federal Government in taking
possession of the Convention and practically
determining the composition and action of the
body. According to law and tho decision of
Grant’s administration itself, the maintenance
of peace and public order devolved in this case
npon the Executive of Louisiana, (Warmouth,)
and not until he had called for Federal interpo
sition could the United States authorities have
constitutionally interposed to put down riot or
insnrreotion.
There is, in fact, nothing to justify or palli
ate this extraordinary proceeding upon the part
of Grant’s administration. It is as naked and
inexcusable an outrage npon popular rights—as
andacions an attempt to control politics in the
personal interest of the President, through the
forces of the government—as if tho same thing
had been done to a Radical or Democratic State
Convention in New York, Pennsylvania or
Ohio.
The negro Pinchback (these fellows do have
uncommon and characteristic names) exclaimed,
“ Is it possible we are to bo put down by tho
government we have sustained ? If that be the
case, the sooner this government is torn down
and a monarchy is bnilt npon its rains tho bet
ter.” Pinchback, like a good many others,
could feel an act of tyranny only when it hurt
himself. Let no white man be as blind and fool
ish as that. Tyranny is bound to make every
body its victim in torn, unless be be of the
slimy mass who breed like maggots in the fes
tering depths of corruption. But even these
sometimes fail to wriggle and squirm out of the
crashing grasp of tyranny ; while time at last is
sure to make every man by tarns the victim of
tyranny. The simpleton who exults over its
slaughter of bis enemies to-day may in a year
see the picture reversed and groan for the
amnsement of his enemies, just as Pinchback,
Wannonth & Co. are now doing in Louisiana,
There is no security for anybody, bnt in the
maintenance of law and justice.
We wonder if the people of the United States
will not be startled at this performance of
Grant’s government in Lonisiana, and begin to
talk about the propriety of calling a halt in the
downward maroh to a military despotism ?
Mr. Hill Explains His Alninni Ad
dress.
This gentlemen sends a communication to the
Atlanta Constitution, of Wednesday, demurring
to the numerous adverse criticisms made by ed
itorial and other writers upon his late address
bofore tho society of the Alnmni at Athens. As
it will be published entire, as spoken, he thinks
an ordinary sense of justice would suggest the
propriety of waiting until then, before attack
ing him, as no report, however honest, can bo
accepted as a proper standard for judging,
much loss criticising a written literary address.
Ha takes occasion, however, to explain the ad
dress in this letter, and winds np with asking a
suspension of jadgment until the address is
read as published by tho society.
We give him the benefit of the following ex
tract from his letter :
Therefore, to qniet the nerves of some, and
prevent the prejudices sought to be created in
advance of its publication, allow me space to
say, that the address does not underrate South
ern civilization in tho production of an elegant
select society, and of the most superior indi
vidualism in the field and in the cabinet. It
does not allude, either directly or indirectly, to
politics, nor political parties, old or new. It
does not aUnde to slavery as a moral question,
or a question of property, nor is there one word
in it which can by possibility be construed as
even donbting “our glorious right to carry
slaves to Kansas.”
Well knowing the great number of “noble
minds” engaged in the great work of saving
“Southern rights,” and seeing the unparalleled
success which has attended their wise counsels
and well directed efforts in this field hither
to, I thought I could be spared to enquire
whether we could not strengthen Southern
rights with a little Southern power in the way
of developing onr natural physical resources
through the means of scientific schools and ed
ucated industries. That which I sought to
typify under the classical figures of Prometheus
bound and unbound, and at whose release I was
disposed to give thanks, was not the negro, bnt
Southern genius!
After reading which we are pretty snre all
will agree with ns that Mr. Hill has certainly
not spared himself, for if any “noble mind” has
more furiously engaged in the great work of
“saving Sonthern rights”—vide “Notes on the
Situation”—than his, we would like exceedingly
to hear whose it is. If Mr. Hill wonld condo
scend to take the advice of our humble self
in regard to making any more speeches, or writ
ing any more explanatory letters, at least for
the present, we would sum it up in Punch’s
celebrated connsel to a correspondent matrimo-
nally inclined: Don’t.
To Medical Students —Read the advertise

in the great city of New Orleans with free ac
cess to the Charity Hospital, and ample oppor
tunity to study and treat every description of
disease at the bedside of the sick, and thns ac
quire practical experience whilst learning the
theory of medicine,surely the ambitions student
coaid desire no better advantages in the profes
sion of his choice.
The reputation of the faculty is second to
none at tho South. Included in their number
is Prof. Joseph Jones, who is well known in the
medical and literary circles of onr State.

Thouble Among the Moemoxs.—A Salt Lake
City dispatch says a Mormon first wife has pro.
cured the indictment of her husband in the
United States District Court, for adnlteryjwith
his other alleged wife or wives. This is proba
bly the beginning of a regular judicial onslaught
on Mormon polygamy, and will make no small
amount of fuss and excitement.
THE GEtmUIA IMCKK'i.
There is a report going tho rounds of onr
State exchanges, that J. W. O’Neal, the scala
wag Judge, so-called, of the Alapaha circuit,
has recently deceased from wounds received in
a series of desperate encounters with William
Patterson.
A man named Ben Constant made his appear
ance at the City Hall, Augusta, last Wednesday
with “one eye entirely closed, the other badly
bloodied and his nostrils torn open,” the result
of whatthe Chronicle calls “a lively skirmish.”
What a regular battle means, down there, the
Chronicle don’t tell us.
CoL A. F. Rudler, a well known citizen of
Angnsta, died at Hot Springs, Arkansas, last
Monday. He was the friend and companion-in-
arms of Walker, the noted filibuster, and was
captured and sentenced to be shot when Walker
was exeented. Friends in this country inter
fered, however, and saved his life.
Seventy shares of Central Railroad stock were
sold at Savannah, on Wednesday, at $117 per
share.
The Savannah river, at Augusta, is very low,
and boats are compelled to unload freight and
passengers in order to get over the bar and
reach the city. .
There were 18 deaths in Savannah, for the
week ending August 7th.
The local of the Savannah News has been
staffing himself with new sweet potatoes, and is
rather disposed to put on airs thereat.
The Savannah Historical Society have just
had published 500 copies of Richard Henry
Wede’s matchless poem’ “My Life is Like the
Summer Rose,” four hundred of which will be
sold at $1.50 and $1.00, each respectively.
Cave Spring, Social Circle, Washington, and
West Point were made money order offices on
the 1st instant.
Dr. Samuel H. Higgins, of Baltimore, has
been called to the charge of the LaGrange
Presbyterian church.
The increase of taxable property in Muscogee
county over last year is $2G5,3G3, and the in
crease in capital invested in the manufacture of
cotton is $70,000.
The grocery store of Thomas L. Carter, cor
ner of Price and Broughton streets, Savannah,
was entered and robbed, on Wednesday night,
of articles valued at over $100. The papers say
these raids are getting bolder and more frequent
every day.
The Savannah Republican, of Wednesday,
has the following account of the doings of a
negro mob at Darien. Isn’t it about time these
trewly loyl Ku-klnx were summarily stamped
up ? Can’t Bullock find time to look into the
matter? Says the Republican:
We are indebted to Capt. John Irvine, of the
British bark Graco, now lying in the port of
Darien, for the following statement of facts
The bark left Now York about the 5th of June
last, in ballast, bound for Tybee or Doboy, and
from thence, after taking in a cargo of timber,
to a port in the United Kingdom, and had a
crew of eight articled colored seamen, with a
firet and second mate, who were both white.
She arrived at Doboy about the first ultimo. On
the 4th alt. five of said colored seamen refused
to do duty, and also refused to proceed on tho
voyage; whereupon the captain, in discharge
of his duty, had the sailors placed in jail, when
tho Ordinary of McIntosh county, a colored
man, upon petition of the sailors, issued a man
damus requiring them to appear before him for
a hearing, which took place the same day at the
court house. After listening to Capt. Irvine’s
testimony, who presented, in connection with
it, the articles of his bark in evidence, first
making oath that the same were the articles,
and that the certificate and signature and seal
of the Consul General thereto affixed were
genuine, he having seen said consul write
his name and affix the seal, the court refused
the articles in evidence, and discharged the
five seamen. A short time afterward Tunis
G. Campbell, a colored justice of the peace,
issued a subprena for. the three remain
ing colored sailors, and brought them from
Doboy to Darien, a distance of twenty miles.
Immediately upon their arrival at the latter
place, they also refused to proceed on the voy
age. Captain Irvine then had them placed in
jail, the bark being at this time ready for sea,
with a cargo of timber. They were at once dis
charged from prison at the instance of said
Campbell, who drew a petition for habeas cor
pus, the case coming before the Ordinary al
ready mentioned. Immediately after Campbell
issued an attachment against Captain Irvine
for seamen’s wages, in a sum far exceeding the
jurisdiction of this conrt. In short, the pro
ceedings in this instance were illegal from the
start, the illegality appearing on the face of tho
papers—the said Campbell, for instance, having
an interest in the snm of $44 for court costs,
and issned the attachment returnable to his
conrt to rendor jadgment thereon. Two other
executions, one at the instance of the Ordinary
and the other at the instance of Campbell, were
also levied on the bark. In all these cases the
proper affidavits and bonds were tendered to re
lease the Grace, bnt they were ref used, the officers
saying that the cash must bo paid. Subsequently
five armed negroes, styled custodians of the ves
sel, were placed on board the bark. One of them
demanded water of Captain Irvine from a cask
which he had provided for his journey to Eu
rope. Upon the Captain refusing to give the
individual water from that cask. Captain Irvine
was arrested by two of the custodians, without
a warrant, and brought to Darien under arms,
and dragged about by the collar. He was taken
beforo said Campbell, and npon asking Camp
bell why ho (tho captain) was arrested without
a warrant, Campbell answered that he (the cap
tain) was arrested by his (Campbell’s) order.
Since which time the captain was arrested on
two bail writs, ono for seamen’s wages, in the
respective sums of $140 and the other for $13,-
000, for false imprisonment of said seamen.
Captain Irvine gave bonds in the snm of $280
and of $25,000. We may state here that the
bail writ is forbidden by the Constitution of the
State of Georgia. The captain was next arrested
under a possessory warrant for seamen’s bag
gage, and was required to pay costs, amounting
to $17 SO.
A bill of injunction to prevent further pro
ceedings at law against the captain, and a
bill of mandamus commanding the said Camp
bell and officers to release the bark forthwith,
and not to interfere further with her, was grant
ed by the Hon. Wm. M. Sessions, Judge of the
Superior Court of ihe Brunswick circuit, and
the injunction and mandamus were served on
said Campbell and others accordingly; also a
warrant for the arrest of said eight seaman, all
of which proceedings np to Monday evening
last were disobeyed, the sheriff, a colored man,
having the warrant in his possession since it
was issued, bnt failing to execute the same.
Armed negroes were seen in groups on the
streets of Darien on Monday night lost, and
wore supposed to be a posse to prevent the
sheriff from making arrests of the seamen.
Capt. Irvine left Darien on Monday night by
the steamer San Antonio to seek relief at the
hands of the proper authorities in Savannah.
It is apprehended, however, that, considering
all the aggravating circumstances in connection
with his treatment and that of his bark, that
bloodshed may be the finale to the outrageous
conduct of the Darien negro officials.
Dr. D. C. O’Keefe,of Atlanta, one of the most
prominent citizens and physicians of that place,
died at Gainesville, on Wednesday.
The Constitution, of yesterday, has the fol
lowing:
Paedoxed—Dr. S. B. Icnes, convicted of
rape at the October term of Fulton Superior
Court, and sentenced to the penitentiary for 20
years, received yesterday from Gov. Bnilock a
full pardon. The petition for his pardon was
signed by many citizens.
The miscegenation cases lately tried at At
lanta resulted in the conviction of all the par
ties, and the following sentences:
William Hobbs to pay the sum' $1,000, or be
imprisoned in the common jail of the county
for the term of six months to be computed from
date. Martha Johnson, Hobbs’ colored para-
moor, to pay a fine of $250, or three months on
the public works. Willis Harris, colored, con
victed of fornication with a white woman, to
pay a fine of $250, or six months on the public
works. Mary Harris, Willis’ white paramour,
to pay a fine of $1,000, or six months on the
public works. Owen George, colored preacher
convicted of illegally marrying a white man to
a colored woman, to pay a fine of $50, or ten
days on the public works.
An attempt was made to muider R. M. Hack
ney, Marshal of Newnan, last Saturday night.
Four caps wero snapped at him as ho sat in the

Mrs. Dr. J. S. Lavender, of Barnesville, pre
sented her husband with three “well springs 'of
pleasure” on the Gth. Two male and one fe
male.
The Barnesville Gazette says the farmers in
that section have gathered an unusual crop of
fine fodder the past week.
The Hawkinaville Dispatch man had better
keep away from Perry hereafter. He says if
ted bugs were selling at 25 cents a quart, that
town would prosper amazingly. Time! Water-
an.
The Dispatch says:
Some time recently an exciting revival was
progressing in one of the negro ohurches in
this place when a female member of the con
gregation raised her voice to the highest pitch,
• ‘Calline! Hold my shawl and bonnet till I
beat my sides and shout Glory! Glory!” and
the last heard of the infinitely happy creature
she was shooting and sobbing in heart-broken
tones.
The Gwinnett Atlas thus reports of crops in
that county:
The wheat and oat crop has been almost en
tirely a failure. Mr. H. R. Hannah was the
only gentleman, with whom we conversed, who
reported anything like a good crop of wheat.
Nine-tenths of those we talked to, stated that
they would not more than get their seed back;
while some did not cut a single acre, being satis
fied it would not pay for the cutting. This is
the most complete failure in wheat made for
many years. We will have to look to Atlanta
and enterprising mills in onr county, for most
of the flour used. In the upper part of the
county com and cotton aro looking poorly. In
fact, Rockbridge district is the only section that
is not suffering for rain. Without extraordinary
seasons we cannot estimate the corn orop at
more than one-half of the usual yield. Cotton
is looking tolerably well, though suffering for
rain.
What Pbussia’s Viotoby has Cost her Peo
ple.—The following extract from a German
paper, the Volkszeitung, shows the reverse of
the picture whose bright side was seen at Ber
lin, on the occasion of the triumphal entry of
the German army in that city:
“The war has not only interrupted work, but
has destroyed thousands of plaoes of work. The
four million thalers which are to be spent for
the assistance of those who have suffered loss
are as a drop on a stone, whioh, hissipg, drops
on to it and in an instant disappears in smoke.
Thousands of men of the landwehr and reserve
return to their homes crowned with victory and
covered with wreaths, but they find their dwell
ings destitute, their wives in want, their chil
dren neglected, their workshops destroyed,
their customers dispersed, their oredit shaken
and the want of their manufacture lessened,
Their rent is still due, which has accumulated
for a year. New tools have been bought, which
their wives in times of distress have either
pawned or sold. Materials have to be laid in
in stock, to. enable them, in case of an order
being given, to begin work. Repairs and clothes
are necessary. The bakers, butchers and re
tailers have got to be paid. If work is not be
gun at once the cry of distress will soon be as
distinctly heard as the echo of rejoicing.

THE BAIX BRIDGE ARGUS!
ENLARGED AND IMPROVED,
AM Printed With New Material
R EV. J03IAH LEWIS, A. M-, of Emoiy College,
after the 1st of October next, will occupy the
position of Literary Editor of the Bainbridge Argus,
assisted by A. M. C. Russell, the present Editor of
the Oxford Department. After that date the Argus
will probably be one of the best family fafebs in
the South, and second to none in literary ability
influence with the reading pnblic, and in typograph
ical excellence.
The character of the paper commends it to ad
vertisers, as it circulates alone among the betteb
class, its moral and religious tone rendering it re
pulsive to the immoial and debased and abandoned.
Its terms sre very moderate, and the proprietor so
licits advertisements from persons engaged in
honorable and honest callings. Shows, lotteries,
gift enterprises, and all businesses of questionable
propriety are denied the use of its columns.
Subscription Teems:—Single copy per year $3.00;
club of flve or more, per copy 42 50: ministers,
who are not merely nominally so, bat who preach,
$1.00 will be charged.
All Literary Articles are to be mailed to Rev.
Josiah Lewis, or his Assistant, Oxford, Ga. All
letters on business, must be addressed to John R.
Allen, Bainbridge, who is business manager. Com
munications on political, religious, and general
topics to be directed to the undersigned.

PATENT EXCELSIOR COTTON GIN
F OR the past forty years I have been engaged in
the manufacture of Cotton Gins, and have set
to work on plantations, and have seen in operation
hundreds of Gins, and have no hesitancy in pro
nouncing this the BEST WORKING GIN I ever
saw. It runs light—gins fast—does not injure the
cotton—impossible to break the roll—no use for
self-feeders—and no trouble to feed. The commit
tee at tho late Bibb County Agricultural Fair, being
so well satisfied of its superiority over anything
they over saw, awarded me the premium. I am
now prepared to furnish any one in want of a Gin.
A sample of Excelsior and also of the Griswold
Gin can be seen at Cailiart & Curd’s Hardware
Store, Macon, Ga. Send fordesepriptive list.

In onr Betail Department, wo shall offor Dry Goods alone. By Wholesale, we shall offer at all

We invite tho attention of Merchants to an examination of our stock of

Which were bought bofore the late advance, and in which wo can offor groat inducements. Wo eh^
deal heavily in all
GEORGIA MADE GOODS,
And have made special arrangements with leading Factories whereby wo shall never require more thu
tho Factory price. We shall make a special business of
CALICOES,
And shall keep at all times a stock from which any size order can be filled.
As we seldom fail to make good impressions on merchants who know their business, we hope to re
ceive calls from many this season who have hitherto failed to do so, as our stock will be unusually s: ;
tractive, and our promptness in buying certain goods before the advance enables us to offer some gt*“
