Thanksgiving day is not far off, and the democrats have much to be thank ful for. “We’ve found the store where buyers get the very best attention, With grent variety of goods, too numerous to ment'on. So low the prices are, they beat the lowest calculation; Which makes us as a family sing out like all creHt’on ” And that, is the reason we trade with -THE—tr FAIR anil SQUARE PLACE TO BUY Staple & Fancy DRY GOODS, CLOTHING, Furnishing Goods, kotioks, «&<*. “ALWAYS Stocked with a full lino of new and ’ seasonable goods.

Hardee and child, of In dian Springs, Fla., are stopping at tho Gulf. Mr. Dan McIntosh was in town yes terday. He is working up real estate in the city of railroads. The streets are quite dusty and the merchants are not displaying their goods to an advantage. Mr. Sam Baker returned yesterday from his camps on the South Bound Ry., near Savannah. Elections are like chrigtmns stock ings; you never know what is in them, and they are full of surprises. Yesterday was another day without a single ■ ase on docket ready for trial Tigly t’. e sinners have Repented. Capt. F- Cronin, manager of the Southern Express company for this section qf the youtc, was in town yes terday. The military ball has been postpon e<Mhd. the military will attend the ■Clipper” pn Weflocsday evening, for the benefit of i|ic IJus»ars. Rev. Mr. MoDonald returned last night frqm Atlanta, where he has been attending a meeting of the trus tees of the Wesleyan Christian ailvo cate. Alliance Caucuses A somewhat curious condition of affairs exists in the legislature. Two- thirds, or three-fourths of tho mem bers are alliancemen. They were elected as democrats, but they seem to withdraw themselves from those dem ocratic members who are not alliance- men. According‘to our dispatches they have had several caucuses from which non-alliance democrats were excluded. And it seems to be the un derstanding that they proposo to con tinue holding caucuses at which only alliancemen shall be permitted to be present. A remarkable fe iture of the caucus es is that while non alliance democrats are not present, alliance leaders, who are not members of tho legislature, arc welcomed. And .some of these leaders are not even residents of the state. All of the alliance members of the legislature were elected by the demo cratic party, and they were understood to be democrats. They canuot, there fore, flock by themselves ns it were, without violating the confidence which their constituents reposed in # lbem. They have no more right to hold Cau- cases aud decide upon the course they will pursue in legislative matters tlmu the Masons and Odd Fellows of the legislature- If it gets to be understood that the alliance members intend to run the legislature upou alliance lines, instead of democratic ones’ there will soon be come nppareoy a fowling of dissatisfac tion throughout the state. How is it possible for the legislature to know what the purposes of its leaders are ? Most of its loaders do uot reside iu Georgia, and probably have very little sympathy with her people Is it the iutention of alliance members of the legislature, ignoring 1 the fact thgt they represent democratic constituencies aud shutting out from their counsels non-alliance democratic members, to follow these leaders? If it is they are making a great mistake, and one that is pregnaut with danger to the democratic party.—News. • Messrs. G- B. WfeNW' P f ^ ft - frobo, Pa., apd May-no It, Penman, of Greensburg, Pa., arrived yesterday to spend the season, and are guests of the Stuart. Tho gentleman spent last winter here. Mr. Charley Joues, of Philadelphia, yyho spends his winters at Charley Da- yis’, on the Iqke, arrived yesterday. He is an enthusiastic lover of shooting, and conies prepared to interview the quail and ducks Mr. Joe. Ball who is now in the grocery business at Brunswick, is in the city spending n short time with ftiends and relatives. He has had quite a serious illness, but is looking like Brunswick agrees with him never tho less- Mr. Haley T. Blocker and Messrs Bennett and Fisher, of Tallahassee, were at tho Stuart last night. They pro hpro in the lptercst of the new road from Tallahassee, and we bopo they will he met halfway by tho citi zens of Thomasville and Thomas coun ty- The Ball will not Take Place. It has been decided to abandon the military ball, in which the Guards and Hussars were to participate on fhe 12th, on account pf the perform ance of Amy Lee, in tho Clipper, for the benefit of the latter company. The ball would have been quite an event, but now the soldiers will use every endeavor to swell the atten dance at the opera house. Where the Circus will Show. The circus tents for next Saturday will be pitched on the railroad grounds on Fleming street. The circus train will probably arrivo dur ing the night, and almost before the day has hardly begun a little busy city of white canvass will present jtself whero empty space now is seen. Mr. Patrick Calhoun- There is not a man in Georgia we esteom more highly than Mr. Pat. Calhoun, and we believe he would make a senator to whom Georgia could point with pride. Personally, we had rather sec him elected than any man in the state, but we hold the unity and success of the Alliance movement ahead of our personal preferences of any individual promo tion, aud therefore consider our friend Mr. Calhoun as entirely out of the senatorial race—for we see that even the mere mention of his name, has created distrust among the farm ers of this section of Georgia, and we presume that it will be the same all over the state. It is not that the Alliance opposo Mr- Calhoun as a man, or distrust his friendship or loy- altty to them. Simply his connec tion with a railroad corporation dis franchise? him from their support. But for this fact they would gladly unite upon him.—Athens Banner. Indiana’s Victory. Indianapolis, Nov. G.—Returns from half tho township? iu tho state show an average democratic gain of twenty townships. This will make the state democratic by about 20,000 The democrats elect eleven out of thirteen congressmen. The legisla ture will be democratic on joint bal lot by sixty eight. Cleveland the Man. London, Nov. 6, 3 a. m.—The Times,commenting upon the results of the elections in the United States, say? it will not be easy for the demo crats to find a mare able presidential candidate than ex-President Chveland, or one better filled to follow up their present success, The Deadly Parallel Colmun. Hero is the way it trill read in the 52d Congress: States. Dim. Itep.

In sixteen counties Breckin ridge, dem., received 5,453 and Langley, rep., 4,662. Tho official connt will not materially change this figure. If was a Waterloo WAsniNqTON, Nov. 6.—The dem ocrats appear to have undoubtedly elected 233 members of the House, so far as heard from, and tho republi cans can count upon only 98 members in sight, and the chances are that from 5 to 15 of these will be left out in the cold when the official returns are in. TEis gives the democrats an apparent majority of 185. This Is unprecedented. Harrison has pulled his grandpa’s hat down over his ears and retired to the hack room in the Whito House. Will Brother Shepard, of the Mail and Express, please raise a hymn, and lead in prayer. Items from the. Brunswick Times: The Hon. R. G, Mitchell is an hon ored citizen of Thomasville, and his election to the presidency of the Sen ate will give great satisfaction to a section of the state whio.U has not had its fair share of political honors. With the Introduction of the anti- bar room bill into the legislature tho slogans of the Pros and Antis will again reverberato throughout the state. When Tom Reed says “Mr. Speak er” in the next Congress, the Demo crat in the chair should ask, ‘‘Who is that fat man?’V A Thomasvillo dispatch to the News says: “A. T. McIntyre, Jr.,closod up the sale on yesterday of 18,000 ncres of pino lands in Colquitt dounty at a very good price. Mr. Mclntyro has been buying Colquitt county lands ever since the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad, from Tifton to Thotn- asville, was declared a certainty. He realized about 87,000 iu profit on the deal, although he had to pay iu tnuuy instances, from 82 to 83 per acre for the land. The state Senate could have made no nobler choice for president than Hon. Robert G. Mitchell, of Thomas county. He was a gallant soldier and is a popular man. He is a lawyer, and one of the best meu in South Georgia. His election was a surprise and seems to have broken the Alii- ance caucus.—Augusta Chronicle. With 237 members, the democrats will not have any trouble in having a standing quorum. It only requires 1C6 to make a quorum. But O, won’t Reed and the other rascals squirm? Matteson will hardly contest Turn cr's seat in the 92d congress. Tho November freshet was not a Harrison freshes. Kilgore’s boot will not be p ceded in the next congress. Tho Fat.Man from Maine is out of order. And they go about mourning all day long. A Memory. A wail of * child at midnight. The chime of * minster bell. The sorrowful moan,of a sorrowing sonl And the sound of a passing knell. An old worn hook on a corner shelf And a spray of faded yew. A locket with hair all golden and lair And a ribbon of faded bine. CARPETS, WITH US, ARE SO CHEAP THAT THE POOR- " ESTNEED NOT WANT FOB A ROOM COV ERING. A needle ease, both empty and old. And a case with hidden spring, Wherein two golden watch keys lie, A' heart—and a wedding ring. I take the book from the corner sbelf, And the ribbon offnded blue; And before me stands the form I loved, With hair of a golden hue. And I gazo so long in those earnest eyes That my soul grows weak with pain; Then sko lades away—and I gently lay The old hook down again. —Every Other Saturday. Quay is on his way to Florida to rest. He says there will be no extra session. We presume not, for Harri- on must be so badly prostrated by the returns from the election, that he is hardly able to write out the procla mation. The chances still tavor Gordon, though a bitter fight is being waged against him. Livingston is looming up in the back ground, but he cannot make it. The latest senatorial possi bility is Hon. Flem du B gnon. The Chronicle says: Congressman Turner will probably be chairman of the ways and means committee in the next House. Reports from Atlanta represent Gor- don as gaining ground. The people of Georgia will not repudiate T»hn B. Gordon. Seoekary Noble refuses to allow New York a recount. But the demo crats counted -the votes, last Tuesday, And so the gallant General Palmer, will be the next U. S. senator from II. linois. He richly deserves it. COLD WEATHER NECESSITIES Carpets and Tier Accessories. The time is certainly hero when you arc thinking of yoiVf new carpet, and you could select no better time to purchase iL We arc turning out more car* pets than any two houses in town. Why? because we haute the assortment to select from, and the prices are right. We advise you to purchase your carpets now, for as sure as two and two make four—yon will pay more two months hence. The McKinley tariff bill has caused an advance in wool, and it will be impossible for carpet dealers to duplicate their stock at former prices. Naturally it will cause an increase to the consumer. Our advice is plaits We have only the following inducements to offer—first tits largest stock—second lowest prb* ccs—third that carpets and rugs are cheaper noiv than they will probably ever be again. The democrats in the recent politi cal land slide gained four, possibly five, U. S. senators. Tom Woollolk’s case is still being discussed. Tom’s dead ; let the 'nat ter drop. A good many republicans have fol lowed McGinty to the bottom of the sea. And Nebraska even elects a demo cratic governor. The tide is still ris ing. Savannah is going to celebrate the democratic victory in grand style. One thing is demonstrated: Har rison is a dead cock in the pit. If the Kansas legislature will defeat Ingalls, all will be forgiven. David B. Hill will bo the next sena tor from New York. Merriam is probably elected gov ernor of Minnesota. Governor Northen will he inaugur ated to-day. And the circus “am a comi ng.” Ingalls is left. Thai’s right. Set down, Tom Reed. SIGNAL SERVICE BUREAU P>, Thoms Jr’s* 126 Broil Street. R.
