So dazzled have the people of Ath
ens been by the beauty and size of
the establishment of Michael's that
they have scarce had time to e:,tcdi
the full meaning of its importance to
Athens.
If one goes into this magnificent
store and takes a good look over th“
splendid assortment of goods in it.-
many departments and then studies
a while about'the importance of suen
a store to Athens, the fact dawns on
him that this city is to lie congratulat
ed on having such a company as one
of the factors in its upbuilding.
The people of any city are entitled
to the very best and that at the lowest
prices. It is right for a people to
1 patronize home merchants and thus
help build up the ctity iu which they
live, and at the same time those
merchants owe the people a duty, to
bring out the very best, that can be
bought and to meet competition in
every way.
That is just what Michael's has
done, ii is no longer necessary for
the Athenian to go to Atlanta or to
send mail orders to ilie North. The
goods arc at Michael's, if they will go
there and ask for them. Tile assort
ments in this store are so varied that
almost anything desired can be found
there, and if not there it can he
brought on the shortest notice. The
firm makes it a business to study the
tastes of their patrons and to meet
every requirement, not only as to
goods, but as to prices.
This means that thousands of dol
lars every year remain at home ani
add to the circulating medium of the
i city. This moons more business and
more prosperity for everybody.
Just now it is a treat for anyone
to \isit this establishment. It is a
dream of beauty at the Chrismas time.
And not only is it a dream of beauty,
it is also the Mecca of all those who
are seeking beautiful and useful ar
ticles with which to make glad the
hearts cf loved ones and friends.
For an evening of genuine pleasure
take a stroll down to Michael's. It
will do you good.

GRIFFITH & WELCH'S
COTTON LETTER.
Athens, December 14.
Reviewing the cotton market for
the week: we opened the week Men
day with the sinners' report wliicu
fully justified the late bullish esti
mates on the total crop. The ilex'
day we had the government estimate
of 11.678.000, which was accepted t*
bullish everywhere except on the New
York eoiton exchange. The New Y.rk
speculators proceeded to pound the
market for a 05 i>oint. decline, while
Liverpool and the continent immedi
ately redoubled their efforts to hue
spot cotton in the South. The little
that was offering was quickly taken
at an enormous premium on New
York future figures. The consequence
was that New York in about two days
regained about all that had been lost
and the sjsit markets of the South
for tin* last half of the week were
steady at about the same prices of
last week.
The foreign demand is almost ex
clusively for white grades, and nov.-
tliat the last pickings and low grades
are coming in there is some difficul
ty in selling them ot their proper
value. The American spinner Is in
Hi*, market only hand to mouth, on
account of money stringency and can’»
buy and lay aside the poor grades to
mix later with better grades. \Vo ex-
ptet sales to ho light until after Jan
nary 1st.
