For particulars ad dress lidek Box 435, Lexington, Ky, 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. STOLE A COCOANUT AND WAS ARRESTED.

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.
