Hugh McIntyre Dead.
Sadder words we’ve rarely written
“Hugh McIntyre is dead,” said the
merchant behind his counter, said the
lawyer and doctor in their offices, said
many, yesterday marning,. os they
passed along the street. And there
was an unmistakable and genuine
tinge of sadness in the tone of each
and every one, when the sad words
were uttered.
On Tuesday night, after months of
.wasting and weary struggling, the
spirit lett the body, winging its flight
to a brighter, better world.
Hugh J. McIntyre was born on the
2nd of Mgy, 1850, born at the old
homestead where he breathed his last.
At the age of ten years he had ase
vere attack of pneumonia/ from which
he never fully recovered. After a
preliminary course of study at Fletch
er Institute, be entered the State Uni
versity at Athens, where he graduat
ed, in 1869, in the same clan with
Emory Speer, Judges ffemmond,
Adams, Van Epps, and others. The
deceased was a most lovable charac
ter. No man in Thomas county had
more devoted friends. He was the
very soul of honor. Gentle as a wo
man, he was the embodiment of cour
age, and a lofty chivalry which has
left its impress' upon all who knew
him. Firm iu his convictions, yet
tolerant of the opinions of others, he
never swerved from what ho thought
to be the right.
A member of‘the Presbyterian
church, he walked the narrow way
with a conscientious rectitude worthy
of nH'imitntion, and left a shining ex
ample of the upright Christian gentle
man. As a husband, father, sou and
brother, he exemplified, in eachjrela-
tioD, those beautiful traits of charac
tor which won every one to him. The
world is better for him having lived
in it. But his gentle, manly spirit,
bos gone to reap the reward which
((waits the righteous. He had no fears
6f the future, but quietly dropped
asleep, to awake in a world where
death is unknown,
Tho funeral will take place this
morning from the Presbyterian church,
at 10 o’clock, the interment following
in Laurel Hill Cemetery.

A Southern Girl.
Speaking of Miss Vislaire, who
plays the leading port in “Under the
Gas Light,” the Chronicle says:
“She is a Southern girl, only 18
years old, and an orphan, but sho has
good friends and a stout heart, and
will succeed. This ik her first season
ot the stage, and she is just entering
Upon her fourth week as au actress,
but despite her youthfulness, both in
years and dramatic experience, her
Work is clever, graceful and pleasing.
Her home is in Mobile. Her father
was a prominent man in Mississippi,
and was once a candidate for governor
of that state. She is of French de
scent, and adds the piquancy and vi
vacity of that race to the womauly
grace and dignity of the well bred
Southern girl.” '
Railroad Notes.
Yesterday was a rather dull day
around the depot!
***.
The schedule will' very likely be
changed next month. It is thought
that No. 5 and 6 .will be made fast
express trains, thereby shortening the
time between Savannah and Mont
gomery, via the Alabama Midland,
several hours.
***
The railroads are having a bonanza
in the way of chpap rates to fairs,
expositsons, etc.
' ***
The railroad shops give good em
ployment to a large number of in
dustrious boys, and pays good wages.

We desire to call your attention to
our superbly stocked dry goods store.
Never in our history, have wo carried
so varied an assortment, and at such
“Buy-a-ble-figures.”
DRESS GOODS.
Our prices this season put value
“out in the cold.” They are adapted
—every one of them—to tbe cool
days, which will be here as soon as
the costumes could possibly be made
up. We are putting a pile of ■“sea
soning” into our Dress Goods Depart
ment.
Our fall stock has staples and
exclusives. Best of all ’twill have
“Levy’s” prices—the “ne’er wus seen”
of the retail trade. Believe us? See
ing is believing. Come and look.
There are scores of huge bargains
in this department in almost any tex
ture you may desire, from gingham
to satin. We have been very fortu
nate in securing some dress novelties
at importation figures. Goods in the
piece, which never saw a selling ticket
till they came into our house.
E,irly purchasers get the benefit of
the novelties.
BLACK GOODS.
Your examination of our patterns
in “Sombre Suitings^* will sustain our
judgment on taste and elegance. As
for the prices, your judgment will be
self-sustaining.
Priestly’s celebrated Black Goods
always here.
BILKS.
Manufacturers seem to have gone
to tho wall this season. Wo never
bought silks so cheap, and we have
never sold them so low.
There bos been a remorseless sweep
of the scythe here. Cost has been wo
ven os closely as the fabric. Tj com
prehend exactly how much these fig
ures mean, you want to have a piece
of the goods in your hand, and (be
think—two senses—sight and touch-
arc better than one. You know we
only advertise what we mean.
HOUSEHOLD LINENS.
The “twenly-four-hour needs.”
They must be had. They wear out
uicbly. They are a family necessity,
ese ought to be reasons enough for
attracting you to a deliberate consid
eration of what this laige department
of ours set forth in the way of prices
for homo substantial.
WRAPS.
The cloak department (second floor
back) is fast catching up with “com
pletion.” Goods are in, and coming.
New arrivals daily. Numbers of
beautiful designs and unique patterns
in elegant and stylish warps now on
exhibition. Very pleased to have you
look them over, ’tho we know you
don’t want them just yet.
