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.

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.

Company E, Sixty-seventh Georgia infantry, died Aug. 6,1864, buried in 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.
