with Whitely. who is to be hero on the

Cotton Stealing.
Wo hear of considerable complaint
amongst our fanners of cotton being
stolen from their plantations,and eith
er sold or traded to merchants for
goods. If those who purchase or
trade for this cotton know it to be
stolen, they are guilty of a heinous
offense. We trust that none of our
merchants are engaged in this disre
putable business, for such practice is
but encouraging tin ft on the part of
others, and we can see but little dif
ference in moral turpitude between
the thief himself and ho who insti
gates and encourages the act. Much
trade may be very profitable, for am.
can "well imagine, that tho <<• who steal
cotton can afford to soil it cheaper
than those who make it by honest
toil. But there are other things to
be considered besides profits—besides
dollar* and cents. I it honest? Is
it right ?
Then sec how unjust it is to the
farmers. At the present low price
of cotton it is hind for them to pay
oat if they get it all. But where is
their chance if one-half or one-f Mirth
of their crops is clandestinely taken
from their plantations. And when
you strike down the farmers you de
stroy the very foundation of all our
prosperity 4 . Wo hope our farmer
friends may find some means to pro
tect themselves from tiiis threatened
evil, for it is an imposition which they
are unable to bear.

New Store.
It is our pleasure this week to re
cord a pleasant accession to the young i
men of onr community and a sub
stantial addition to the business men
of Quitman. We allude to Messrs. E. ;
T. and Henry Dukes, formerly of
Homorville, who ’have just moved to
our town and opened the store next
door to Mr. Nathan Gazan, on Screven
street, under the firm name of
E. T. Dukes & Brother
The senior of the firm went to New
York this season and purchased a ;
large and tasty assortment of goods,
which are now being opened and pre
pared for sale. We welcome these
worthy young gentlemen to our town,
and trust that their business under
taking may meet with their most san
guine expectations.
inent will appear next week.
Town Tax.
The amount of taxable property,
in the town of Quitman, as assessed by
the Treasurer, aggregates $ 152,311,00.
Ono-eighth of one percent, was lev
ied on this amount by the Town
Council at its meeting on Monday
night as the rate of taxation for 1874,
and the Treasurer was instructed to
commence the collection of the same
on the Ist of October.
Fine Corn.
Judge J. 0. Morton lias shown us a
specimen of corn grown on his place,
near Quitman. The grains were
large, full and white. He informed
us he procured the seed from Col
quitt county. For bread we should
think it equal to any imported from
further North.
Sewing Machines.
PARTIES desiring to purchase a Sewing
Machine can secure either a IVecler A
Wilson or Wilcox & Gibbs, just from the
manufactory, upon reasonable and easy
terms, by applying to 11. M. MoINTOSH,
IG.rosi ku Office, Sept. 9th, 1874.
Quitman ns n Market The Place to
Bring Your Trade.
Representing ns wo do the interests
of the business men of Quitman,
and feeling it a duty which we owe
not only to them but to our readers,
we desire to call.tlie attention of our
friends throughout Brooks and
in our adjoining eountios to tlio
perior advantages which Quitman will
have this fall and winter over its
neighboring towns as a market.
The first thing wo would mention
is, that our merchants all survived
the great financial panic which lasted
during the entire last business season,
and notwithstanding the fact that
they had sold vast quantities of goods
on time, and their inability to collect,
they met their obligations with but
few exceptions, promptly, and main
tained their credit at the North and
elsewhere. This being the case, of
courso great inducements were offer
ed them by tho manufacturing com
panies and wholesale houses at the
North to visit them this season and
purchase goods on the most favora
ble terms.
During the past few weeks fifteen
of our merchants have gone to New
York to lay in their fall stocks, and
most of them lmve purchased more
extensively than heretofore foj tho
past few years. Every train which
arrives at our depot is freighted with
all kinds of merchandise suitable for
this market, and our me; ..'hints are
busy opening and preparing their
large stocks for sale. They bought
extensively, made their selections in
person, taking every advantage of the
market, and they are now marking
down their goods at prices that will
insure their ready sale. Their store
houses no longer present the empty
and uninviting appearance which
they have daring the dull summer
which is now well nigh spent, but
their shelves are packed, and every
nook and corner that can bold a
barrel or a box is occupied; and still
they come.
To the people of Colquitt, Berrien,
Thomas, Lowndes, Madison and Jef
ferson counties we say, come to Quit
mi e to sell your cotton and other
produce, and we will guarantee that
our merchants will give you as good
prices as can-be had elsewhere, and
that they will sell you goods cheaper
than you have bought them since the
war.
In our advertising columns will he
found the announcements of several
of our most enterprising business men,
end others who have not yet finished
opening their goods will invite the
trade of the many readers of the Re
porter in our issue of next week. M e
commend them to tho confidence of
our friends, and to those at a distance
who have been doing their trading
elsewhere, we repeat the invitation,
come to Quitman and “give the boys
a ehiu.ee.”
Nathan Gazan.
This gentleman notifies our readers
this week that he has received and
has now in store in Quitman a large
and carefully selected stock of fall
and winter goods suitable for this
market; and, from the way ho talks,
we think he brought them here to
sell. He has an excellent assortment
of dress goods and fancy articles for
the ladies, ready made clothing for
the gentlemen, boots, shoes and hats
for every one, and everything in the
family grocery line for the house
keepers. Mr. Gazan and his clerks
are always ready, willing aud waiting
to show his goods, and whenever
they strike a customer who wants to
buy, they convince him that they
want to sell by offering him goods at
the very lowest cash prices. -Mr. Ga
zan is not only an enterprising mer
chant, but a charitable and liberal
man. Being tired seeing us wear
our old seedy straw hat, and knowing
that a country editor, publishing a
paper in a town where only about
one-half of the merchants advertise
was not able to afford a better one,
he did not stop us in front of his store
and offer us “a quarter of a dollar to
burn it up because Sam Griffin wears
one like it,” but tailed us inside and
presented us with a bran new two
story wool hat. Mr. Gazan has a
large assortment of hats, and we
know of no other place where they
can be purchased cheaper.
Clothing.
We direct the attention of our read
ers to the card of Mr. John H. White,
of Griffin, Ga., with Messrs. Henry &
John Paret, wholesale dealers in mens,
youths and boys clothing, New York.
This is a reliable and enterprising
house, and does an immense business
in the South. We have been assured
bv some of our Quitman merchants,
who deal with these gentlemen, that
wo cannot speak in too flattering
terms of them for their integrity and
liberality to Southern merchants.
Mr. White, a native of our own State,
is a practical tailor, and parties can
order clothing from him and rely
upon being suited and honorably
dealt with.
KKPOItTERISMS.
—lt seldom hurts a joke to crack it.
—Chickens and eggs are in de
mand.
—lf you want ft real good cigar, go
to Tobe McNeil's.
—Screven street was enlivened by a
runaway scrape on Tuesday after
noon.
—Wc notice that the portico of the
Court House, which was broken down |
by tho Radical pow-wow on tho 4th of
July, is being repaired.
—A grand Radical jubilee will be
held in Quitman on next Saturday, at
which the renegade and negro-loving
Whitely will bo tin chief attraction.
—Tho now printed county orders,
which have been recently gotten up
by Judge Harden, for convenience
and safety, will bo taken for countffj
taxes this fall.
-—As daylight can be seen through
very small holes, so will little tilings
illustrate a man’s character. Two or
three “little things” have led us to
these reflections.
—You cannot throw a stick into
the streets of Valdosta on a busy day
without hitting a Smith. If you want
to raise a crowd in a hurry, just step
out and call Smith.
—Mr. H. F. Mabbett, of the firm of I
Briggs, Jell;* k Cos., returned from |
New York yesterday morning. Ourj
readers-will probably find out in our j
next what he lias been doing during j
his absence of nearly a month.
—Sec the notice of Mr. Geo. YY.
Head, wholesale dealer in tobacco and j
cigars, Macon, Ga. He is an exten-!
sive dealer, and those of onr mer- \
chants who have never formed his j
acquaintance will do well to try him j
with an older.
—A cotton stem only two inches in
length, with five bolls on it is the j
latest curiosity that we have received
in the vegetable line. It was grown |
on the place of Mr. Win. Bryan. The
fruit is all near the end of the stem in j
a cluster somewhat like a bunch of
I
grapes.
—A little country darkey tried his j
new blade on a town urchin of mid
night complexion and ministerial pa
rentage, who was going around to
see what he could find about tdc
carts, on 1,-st Saturday. One dollar I
and a half and costs was all it ?'• linn
back.
—Two young fellow clerk's, not a
thousand miles from the Rki'jktki; j
office, settled a little difference which j
arose between them on Monday morn- i
ing, by affectionately embracing each j
other and waltzing around the store a !
.few times to a lively accompaniment I
nf chin music. Tho music ran low, j
and they both got tired so soon that a j
Council scrape could not bo made,
of it.
—Tho man who keeps tho eating i
house at Jesup, on the A. & G. It. R.,
ought to got rich, and if be does not
succeed early in life it will not bo his \
fault, but that of the people. He I
charges only one dollar for supper.
Now, if he is not making money at
the rate of a Savannah commission
merchant, if is not his fault, but that
of some of tho people, who pass him j
by like they are beginning to do this j
two aud a half per cent, “city accept- j
ancc” business.
Berm! Brothers.
Our readers will not fad to seo the j
large advertisement of these gentle- |
men of Macon, Ga., who are the most
extensive dealers we know in this State
in Harness, Badillos, Leather, Leath
er Hardware, Ac. There are par
ties in Quitman who deal with them, ;
and wo have heard them spoken of j
in the most complimentary terms.
They obtain their materials from the I
largest manufacturers only aud in
large quantities, and they are there
fore enabled to furnish any article m
their lino at satisfactory figures.
The Messrs. Bernd have had long ex- j
porienco in their business, and being !
familliar with the wants of the South
ern people, can fill tlrrir orders satis- j
factorily, not only as to price, but in j
point of durability. We recommend j
them to tho confidence of the people
of this section, and trust that when
they need anything in their line they
will give them a trial,

It will he rci.L inhered that some
time ago ledge Harden let out the
contract for repairing Spain’s bridge
over tHo Piscola creek, to Alfred Sapp,
he t/cing the lowest bidder aud giv
ing the requisite security for the exe
cution of the contract. Tho agree
ment was that tho repairs were to be
done by the Ist of September, unless
Providentially hindered, and at any
rate by the 15th of tho month. We
understand that the lumber for said
repairs has been obtained and is
ready, but unfortunately Sapp was
taken sick, and up to this time has
not been able to do much to the
bridge. It is very important that
tho bridge should bo put in good or
der as soon as possible, for much val
uable trade comes over it to Quitman.
Wo learn that Judge Harden has
been pushing up Sapp as much as he
possibly can, and unless there is a
prospect of a speedy completion of
said repairs the contract will be re
let to some other person.
Since*writing the above we are glad
to learn that Alfred Sapp has so far
recovered from his sickness as to be
gin work, and we hope there will be
no further delay in the execution of
his contract.

Tobacco ami cigar houses in Atlanta,

Mr. Boroughs, the business manager
of this house, has been engaged in

It had on it sixty grown bolls, and he
says it was a sample of his crop.
Royal Arch Cotton is the name of
this variety, and the seed was obtain
ed from South Carolina. If it will do
as well for others as it appears to have
