large dealers, buying by the car load,
thus enabling them to sell at prices
which must give satisfaction. It will

Work on the Georgia Southern, j

A representative of the contractors
of tho Georgia Southern & Florida,

Admitted to the Bar.
Yesterday morning in open court,
Judge Hansoll presiding, Mr. Theo
dore Titus, who has been studying
law with Mr. T. N. Hopkins, was ad
mitted to the bar. He was examined
on common and statute laws of Eng
land, of force in this state, by Mr. T.
N. Hopkins; on pleadings, evidence
and revised code, by Mr. Arthur Pat
ten ; on equity, pleading and practice,
by Judgo Alexander: r.u constitution
al law, by Mr. C. P. Hnnsell, and ou
criminal law, by Mr. T. N. Hopkins.
Tho young man stood a rcmnrkabl
good examination, and was highly
complimented by Judgo Hauscll and
other members of the bnr.
Mr. Titus slat ts out under bright
and flattering auspices, aud we trust
that success awaits bint in bis chosen
profession. He will pardon one sug
gestion; It is too often the case with
young men, after being admitted to
the bar, to neglect their books. A
successful lawyer never stops studying.
It is tho road to success, ip-d chotild
be followed assiduously by overy
young lawyer.
How it Works.
IVe have, for years, tried to con
vince the merchants and business men
ef Thomasyiile, that they should tako
stops to compress cotton hero. The
following from the Vuldosta Times
shows the effect of a compress in Val
dosta :
‘•lu last week’s issue of the Times
we spoke ol free compressagc (or Val
dosta, recent developments give us
mors than that. We are allowed 50
cents for comprcssage; 25 cents dray-
age and 15 cents storage j making n
tnl of 90 oents per bale saved to the
planter who sells his cotton to Valdos
ta merchants- In addition to this we
have the proraiso of lower rates oa
cotton, which will give our town an
advantage of more than a dollar a
bale over competitors,”
Comment is worse than useless.
Somebody's Fault.
A subscriber to tho Weekly Times-
Exteui'KIsk, at Metcalfe, was iu the
office a week or two ago, on Wain vrfay,
and saw the postmaster receive the
bundle containing the issue of tho
week previous. The wepHy paper
should always reach Metcalfe on
Saturday, as it is, invariably, "put in
the office hero ou Friday afternoon.
Where is the fault? It ought uot to
tako four days for mail tit go from
l^ere to Metcalfe, a distance of twelve
miles, and uo intermediate office.
Will the proper authorities please
look into the matter ?
George Forbes.
The displayed advertisement of the
above gentleman is sure to attract
attention. ~ Mr. Fcrb» is well known
tfl the trade, ant} ha? the confidence of
the public- fe >* c 9 rl y fag a splendid
line pf furuiturp. Ris stock embraces
q11 grades. Ho is thus enabled to

the latest styles. If you wish any
thing in the furniture line,give Geoflj?
Forbes a call bcfo.ro fatfiug.
Twenty drummers were registered
at the Stuart last night. They will
' spend Sunday here.
Norwoods Letter.
Mr. Norwood has written au open
letter assailing Governor Gordon.
He rehashestho old chaiges against
Gordon, made four years ago, charg
ing him with incompetency, and with
selling out when he quit the Senate.
The people of Georgia has passed on
this case; and they found for tho de
fendant. In the memorable Bacon—
Gordon campaign, these charges were
used for all they were worth, and
Gordon carried one hundred out of
one hundred and thirty-eight counties;
carried them after a canvas of thirty
days, when Major Bacon had been
industriously laying his plans for a
year. Tho voice of the people was
hoard, and it sounded a complete
vindication of General Gordon. Mr.
Norwood docs not say whether he will
be a candidate or not, but contents
himself with ridiculing General Gor
don. Mr. Norwood has made a mis
take ; these old charges will not injure
General Gordon any more than they
did four years ago.
Crisp caught Fatty ltecd “fudging,”
yesterday. Reed counted the house,
and said there was n quorum; Crisp
denied the statement. Upon a count
by tellers, Reed wns convicted of re
porting a quorum, when no quorum
was present. But it doesn’t hurt
Reed to be caught in this way. Hon
orable dealing is a stranger to him.
The bitter letter of Mr. Norwood,
assailing John 11. Gordon, will fall
flat.
Rufe Lester has opposition in the
ist. One Mr. Doyle will oppose him.
Rufus will get there all the same.
Two Important Bills Signed.
Washington, Sept. 19.—President
Harris-m sighed the lottery and river
and harbor hills at Crcsson to-day.
The lottery bill terms takes effect
immediately, but it may be several
days before it is rigidly enforced.
Some of the papers hero took lottery
advertisements out to-day.
Chicago's University.
Chicago, Sept. 18.—A pledge of
$1,000,000 to tho now university of
Chicago was conveyed to the trustees
of that institution to-day in n letter
from John D. Rockefeller, who has
already giveu to tho institution 8000,-
000. Tho magnificent proller was
promptly accepted by tho hoard, and
a committeo appointed to arrange for
fulfilling the conditions of the gift.
Mr. Rockefeller stipulates that $800,-
000 of the amount shall he used for
non-professional graduate Instruction,
8100,000 far theological instruction
jn the divinity school, and S100.000
for the construction of divinity build
ings-
TO REMAIN INTACT.
Except the last named 8100,000,
the 81,000,000 principal is to remain
intact, and the income alone is to be
expended. The present Baptist The-
ojogionl wein mary Is to he made pnrt
of the univerity, and tho seminary
buildings at Morgan’s park are to he
utilized as an academy. The new
uuiversity will begin its career with
endowments making $1,800,000, all
of which arc in hand or pledged.
The Condition of Cation,
WasihNuxuj*, Sept. 19.—The .Sec
retary of Agriculture, in his Septem
ber report, says of the cotton crop;
The statistical returns for Septem
ber are lees favorable for cotton than
these pf August. Qu the Atlantic
coast rains following a season of
drought have oaused rust and shed
ding of leaves and fruit. The impair
ment of the condition has been 8
points in South Carolina and Geor
gia and 9 points in Alabama. Local
reductions arc reported ip North Car
olina, though tbc average condition is
hut slightly lowered through heavy
rains and cool nights. The high eon*
dition of Tennessee has also been well
mamtaiued and the crop there is still
growing and fruiting.
A Light Broke in Upon Him.
The following is from the pen of
tho Chicago Tribune’s humorist:
“Mr. Brodweigh,” said tho lovely
Boston girl, ft flush mounting her
pale forehead and her voice trembling
slightly, "I will not deny that your
avowal moves me strangely. I can
not disguise the fact that my heart
pleads for you. Butin matters that
involve the whole future happiness
of two human beings no step should
bo lightly taken. Mr. Brodweigh,”
she continued, softly wiping her spec
tacles, “while I should not look upon
residence in another city as n wholly
insurmountable barrier to our union
there aro, nevertheless, other things
to be considered. You nrc not aware,
possibly, that I am a vegetarian ? ’
“Are you, indeed,” exclaimed the
young man, dclightly. “Why, so
am I! Miss Howjamcs—my own
dear Euiersonin, I ”
“One moment, Mr. Brodweigh. It
may seem trivial to you, but is, I am
persuaded, a matter of vital impor
tance that we should entertain har
monious views in particulars as well
as generals. Pardon me, but what
are your preferences nmong vegeta
bles?”
The young mnn’s arms dropped to
his side.
“Tho vegetables to which 1 am—
er—addicted,” he replied, “arc to
matoes, cabbages, turnips, rice, ruta
bagas, egg plant, beets, sweet corn,
peas, potatoes, lettuce, pnrsley, and
mangel wurzed. I also cat a great
deal of oat meal and cracked wheat.”
“Nothing else. Mr. Brodweigh?”
inquired Miss Howjamcs, anxiously.
‘ Of course I use all the principal
fruits,” lie said. “I consider apples,
peaches, pears, grapes, melons, cher
ries, currants, and berries of all kinds
ns really vegetables.”
“You have omitted from your list
nothing that—that seems to you pe
culiarly and distinctively brnin-nour-
ishing and—and representatively
vegetarian in itself?” she said with an
effort.
“Nothing that I can think of. 1
hnye mentioned all the varieties. I
think, that I —hut why this agitation,
Miss Howjantes ? Arc you ill ? Have
I ’’
“Mr. Brodweigh,” faintly spoke
tho young lady, “in the agony of this
disappointment,the keenest that I have
ever felt, and whose bitterness you,
too, must share ”
“Emersonla Howjamcs!” he ex
claimed in a thrilling voice, a light
breaking in upon him, “did I forget
beans? Did I omit beans? Why,
beaus, my darling, arc my very life!”
She fell into his outstretched arms,
they mingled their tears of ecstacy
together, and New York and Boston
again communed in spirit, as they
have done once in a great while from
tho beginning, do occasionally even
now, and probably ever shall do at
fare intervals world without end.
An Atlanta Item-
There lives iu this city Miss Caro
line Wilkinson, ngod about 05 years.
For furty years she was the fiance
of Alexander If. Stephens Mr. Ste
phens met her at the home ot Dr.
Dardens, in Warren county, ar.d
again at Little * Hotel, Crawfordvillc,
in 1842. Tho marriage never took

health. When he was elected Gover

cd that they were to bo married iu
May following. His death iu March,
howevor, prevented the final carryiig

Topic—School Suits.
Wc do not advance tho argument
that school boys should bo 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 suite—
because—in the natural order of
things—almost every boy needs new
clothes nt this—the fag end of the
summer reason—and the harbinger
of coming cooler weather—when
stouter aud warmer jackets and pants
will he required—
There isn’t any marked point of
difference between school culls aud
dress suits—save—that—the , former
are made from more durable and
serviceable materials of dark shades
—fabrics that arc more celebrated ft r
wearing qualities than “pretty”
looks—
Our prices aro so absurdly low that
it might suggest tbc remark—“ho
ehcaji to be f/owf’—
We have never yet falsified a single
line of our announcements in our
twenty-five years business here—and
with the past fulfillment of every
promise ns an assurance of our integ
rity—you can justly feel encouraged
to visit our Juvenile Deparlmenl—and
form your own conclusions as the truth
of our assertions—
A promise—witli us—always pre
supposes tulfillincut—This rule is
iufallibk—When you have tiie pledge
of this house upon nuy point you
know you mny rely upon its execu
tion— equally particular are we not to
mislead you by extravagant declara
tion—We never pass the reins of fact
iuto the hands of ‘ careless s;>eech”—
Our shelves full of childrens cloth
ing—iu themselves—constitute Jan at
traction for all economical buyers—
and fittingly celebrate the hleudiug of
“florid summer and changeful .1 u-
