We have heard
people wonder why
it is that at Lohn-
stein’s you can al
ways find more
customers than at
any other place in
town.
This question we
can easily answer:
The people like to
trade at Lohnsteins
store,
1st. Because they
receive every possi
ble attention and
consideration from
the proprietor, as
well as from the
salesmen.
2nd. Because
they find a better
selection of goods
at Lohnstein’s than
at any other place
in town, and
Last, but not
least, because a dol
lar goes farther and
reaches deeper at
Lohnstein’s than
anywhere else.
Politeness,square
honorable dealing,
excellence and
great variety of
stock, small mar
gins and quick
sales; These are the
cardinal reasons for
our flattering and
unprecedented suc
cess. And the good
work still goes on.
Come and see us
this week. We
will divide profits
with you.
Dry goods, cloth
ing, shoes, hats,
complete in every
department. Bar
gains in every line.
They are waiting
for you. Come and
pluck them. It
will pay you.

A LIFE IN THE DARK.
Touching 8tory of a Mother Strloken
With Blindness.
A touching incident was that of
Mrs. William Nichols, a brilliant and
much-admired lady of Bath Beach,
who had been suffering for some time
from an affection of the eyes, says the
Brooklyn Citizen. She was led to
fear a speedy change for the worse,
and immediately consulted her physi
cian. An examination discovered t
sudden and fatal failing in the optic
nerve, and the information was im
parted os gently as possible that the
patient coaid not retain her sight
more than a few days at most, and
was liable to be totally deprived of it
at any moment. Last Tuesday the
mother quietly made such
arrangements n» would occur to one
about to commence so dark a journey
of life, and then had her two children
attired in their brightest and sweet
est oosttlmeB, brought before her, and
so, with their little faces lifted to
hers, and tears gathering for some
great misfortune they hardly realized,
the light faded out of their mother’s
eyes, leaving an ineffaceable picture
of those dearest to her on earth—a
memory of the bright faces that will
console her in many a dark hour.
Georgia Crop Report-
The report of Commissioner Hen
derson, indicating the condition of
the crops of the state on the first inst,
raises the estimates of the corn crop,
the general average being 102, against
88 on the first of October 1888.
Thefe is'but little difference in the
average of the several sections, that
of North Georgia being 101, Middle
Georgia 108, and Southeast Georgia
96. The general average of tbo cot
ton crop for the whole state is 87, a
drop from 90 on the first of Septem
ber. The average for North Georgia
is still 90, The general average of
the rice crop is 93, of sugar cane 95,
of sweet potatoes 90, a falling off of
5 per cent, since September 1st; of
tobacco 86. The pork supply is esti
mated to be 7 per cent, better than
at the corresponding period of 1888,
but hog cholera is reported in some
sections.—Atlanta Journal.
Sandwich Islander’s Language.
Mark Twain says of the language
of the Sandwich Islanders: “The na
tive language i3 soft and liquid and
flexible, and in every way efficient
and satisfactory—till you get mad;
then there you are; there isn’t any
thing in it to swear with. Good
judges all say it is the best Sunday
language there is, but then all the
other six days in the week it just
bangB idle on your hands; it isn’t any
good for business, and you can’t work
a telephone with it. Many a time
the attention of the missionaries has
been called to this defect and they
are always promising they are going
to fix it, but they go fooling along,
and fooling along, and nothing is
done.”—Troy Telegram.

There are fifty-four graves marked
“unknown.” Many of these may be
Georgians, but their names will never
be known until the record of the last
great day is read.
Mr. J. T. Mack, one of the proprie
tors of the Sandusky Register, de
serves the gratitude of evrey confeder
ate veteran, as well as that of every
citizen of the south, for the interest he
has taken in the care of the graves of
these fallen confederates, no less he
roes than they who fell in the midst of
battle. Mr. Mack has taken the
trouble and labor of arranging a com
plete list of those who died and were
buried in the cemetery, and published
it in the Register of Oct. 12, 1889.
The friends and relatives of these fal'en
heroes ought to give an expression of
their gratitude by contributing to
erect substantial headstones to all
these grave before time shall obliterate
them entirely.—Telegraph.
The late Andrew J. Geiger, of
Philadelphia, left an estate valued at
$250,000. His will provides for the
erection of an obelisk over his grave.
The panel on the east side is to con
tain his age, name and date of death.
The north panel will contain this in
scription : “Traveled 60,000 miles in
America, Europe, Asia| and Africa.”
The south panel is to read, “Young
man, stop and think. See what has
been the reward of honesty, industry
and economy. In 1840 I worked on
Robert Marlin’s farm, near Jersey
shore, for 25 cents a day. No for
tune left me.” The west panel will
say : “Lived and died in the faith of
the immutable and unchangeable, and
nature's God. Believed in the gospel
of peace, right and justice.”
It is now apparent, to the most
casual observer, that Tanner is loaded.
His first shot at the administration,
since he was bounced, was a sockdol
ager. It went home. Keep up the
fusilade, Tanner.

where tho American flag is hissed, is
