Prof. Hicks' Forecast for tho
Month—A Cold Winter Pre
dicted.
Rev. Ira D. Hicks, the St. Louis
meteorologist, sends to the Philadel
phia Press the following weather fore
cast for September:
Cool nights, with probable touches
of frost to the northward, will prevail
in most pans at the opening of the
month. From the 3rd to the 7th storm
conditions will develop and run their
regular course from west to east. By
the evening of the 5th or 6th these
storm movements will havejpassed the
central regions of the Mississippi val
ley, and a cool wave will follow. A
dash of cool northwest wind and weath
er will supplement each disturbed pe*
riod in September. It will grow warm
and threatening, with reactionary
storms on and next to the iolhoriilh.
From these reactionary days forward
until we pass be, ond the center of the
earth's equinox, about the tid, gener
al storms and gales may be looked lor.
From the 14'h to 17th we count dan
ger days. Seafaring folks who fail to
exercise a prudent watchfulness may
p y a heavy penalty.
From about the 19th very warm
days may be expected in the west,
growing warmer and traveling cist-
ward, with very a.live storms on sea,
lake and land from the 20 h to 23d 1
Note rlijs period—be prepared tor the
sudden and perhaps severe develop
ments it may bring, and do not be
caught altogether unaware should a
cold wave with the frost come early
freezing follow in the days immediate
ly beliinJ the storm area. Earthquake
phenomena at and about thii time,
alto,need be nd'cSuse Tot surprise or
alarm.
From the 26:hto 30th the elements
will undergo the last storm movements
ql the mouth. We name the 27th,
s8ih and 29th as probable danger
days. The month bids fair to end in
cool nights, with cold and frost to the
northward, sufficient to justify proper
watchfulness and preparation agaiost
damage to immature vegetation.
In answer to numberless inquiries
fron all carts, we state here that we
believe ,the early autumn will bring
very cool weathtr, and that the cc m-
ing winter wil’ much more severe than
last. Such conclusion is only a part
of deductions drawn and printed six
years ago, call for the wet season and
the mild winters through which we have
passed, and for the change to dry,
warm summers and colder winter lor
at least three years, dating from the
solstice in June, 1890,’’
You can accept as much of the
above .is you like.
Election of Officers.

Pat Walsh says Gordon will bo
elected Scoator by an overwhelming
majority, no matter who opposes
him. Pat Walsh knows as much as.
anybody about bow the political oat
will jump.
The unterrified democrats of Con
necticut, have been in convention.
They cheered the mention of Cleve
land’s name to the echo.
Norwood says he will meet Gordon-
That’s oil right.
There were only two fights in the
Radical convention at Waycross.
What’s the matter with the boys any
how, they seem to have lost their grip?
A colored Baptist church in Sa
vannah is all torn up, literally as well
as figuratively. The Pastor had to
flee for his life by a convenient exit
in the rear of the pulpit. Chairs and
pews were broken up, and used as
weapons, nnd knives, sticks, fists,
pistols and anything that came to
hand. Nothing but the fact that
most of them wero hit on the head,
kept the coroner from having a busy
day.
Mr. Harry Brown is a ‘‘fixer.” He
alludes to Mr. Norwood, as “our
next Senator.” It is extemely kir.d
of Mr. Brown, to inform the people
of Georgia, who their next senator is
to be. Thanks, awfully.
No news of the result of the
primary in Brooks was received last
night. It was doubtless a close call
between McCall and Humphreys.
The tariff bill will not he reported
till next week, and congress will not
adjourn till some time in October.
The citizens of Colquitt county arc
enthusiastic over the new road. Pine
lands are in big demand.
Now wo may look for a lively en
counter of words. Your Uncle Tom
mie Norwood has challenged Gon.
Gordon to n joint discussion.
Quay will keep his mouth shut
but many people think him a scoun
drel all the same.
The house would not adopt Eu’oe’s

A LITTLE CHAT-WITH PARENTS.
Topic—School Suits.
We do not advance the argument
that school boys should be provided
with new clothes merely because the
school season has opened—Parents—of
course— are the judges concerning
the requirements of their children—
We refer especially to school sttitr—
because—in the natural order of
things—almost every boy needs new
clothes at this—the fag end of the
summer teason—aud the harbinger
of coming cooler weather—whin
stouter and wanner jackets and pants
will he required—
There isn’t any marked point of
difference between school suits aid
dress suits—save—that—the former
arc made from more durable and
serviceable materials of dark shades
—fnbrics that arc more celebrated for
wearing qualities titan “pretty”
looks—
Our prices are so nhsttrdly low that
it might suggest the remark—“too
cheap to be jooit'—
We have never yet falsified a single
line of our announcements in our
twenty-five years bnsiuess hero—and,
with the past fulfillment of every
promise as an assuraucc of our integ
rity—you can justly feel encouraged
to visit our Juvenile Department—and
form your own conclusions as the truth
of our assertions—
A promise—with us—always prc.
supposes fulfillment—This rule is
infallibh—When you have the pledge
of this house upon any point you
know you may rely upou its execu
tion—equally particular arc wc not to
mislead you by extravagant declara
tion—Wc never pass the reins of fact
into the hands of ‘ careless speech”—
Our shelves full of childrens cloth
ing—in themselves—constitute au at
traction for all economical buyers—
and fittingly celebrate the blending of
‘•Florid summer and ehanijeful Au»
ftu/m.”—
