purchase the Spring stock for the NEW YORK
STORE.
On account of our buyer’s long experience in,the buying and
selling of high class Merchandise, we can promise our customers
and friends as pretty a stock of Spring Goods as has ever been
our pleasure to show. It has been our aim always to keep in the
front rank, and always up to date, in securing the newest and
best things for our customers that the market affords, and with
each succeeding year the success, and encouragement we have re
ceived from the people of JacKSon. Butts county, and our neigh

all lines of goods at the lowest prices, in fact, much lower than
they can be bought in large cities.
In the purchase of this spring’s stocK we are going to endeavor to outstrip all former efforts in
securing the prettiest designs, newest weaves, and the most select patterns in our Dress Goods De
partment, with an eye single to the interest of the people.

from having worKed for the largest millinery concerns m New York and Baltimore. Our new
trimmer will buy our stock of millinery before she leaves the East, and we can promise our lady
friends that for style, quality and prices, we cannot be excelled anywhere. Our trade demands the
very latest styles, the best qualities, and the lowest prices, and we are in a position to accede to
their demands. We promise ypu that we will leave nothing undone to merit your patronage and
good will.

Rev. J. F. Pharr preached a learned as

more you think of the matter the bigger
it gets. One cannot materially differ
with him without getting outside the
teachings of the scriptures to do so.
It is reported that when the wreck
occurred on Wednesday morning, Lamar
Pound crawled through the window and
went around to the door of the upturned
coach to let his sisters, Misses Myrtle I
and Elia out of the car. He found them
looking for their hand satchels which
-contained the monay and other valuables
belonging to the girls. “That’s all
right!” he said* “We are wrecked! Leave
your baud satchel alone. Look for my
umbrella, and come on !”
A Sad Death.
Mr. Ed Thomas, who went from this
county to Texas a few mouths since,
died two weeks ago. Mr. Thomas had
the measles, and after getting up he re
lapsed, and took pneumonia, from which
he died. Mr. Thomas was a good joung
mau.acd was in the very bloom of man
hood. He had gone to Texas to acquire
a fortune, which he would no doubt
have made, but for his untimely death.
His friends here are numbered by the
circle of his acquaintance, for truly none
knew but to love and appreciate his gen
ial smiles.
Judge Pound Paralyzed.
On Monday morning last Judge E. E.
Pound, our efficient county school com
missioner and mayor of the town of Jack
son, was attacked with a paralytic stroke
completely disabling his left side, and
partially paralyzing his tongue. At the
time of the attack he was on his way to
visit a school in the outer edge of Hie
county, and was paralyzed while sitting
in his buggy. The horse walked leisurely
along until he arrived at the school
house, where he stopped. Mr. Thomas,
the teacher, saw the vehicle as it came
up, and walked out to meet the judge.
But as lie neared the buggy he was hor
rified to find Mr. Pound unconscious and
in a dazed condition. Securing help he
lifted the gentleman from his buggy and
carried him into the house, where re
storatives were applied, and all attention
shown him. After awhile it was decided
to bring him home where medical atten
tion could be had, as lie was in a very
critical condition.
At this writing (Thursday evening)
Judge Pound is somewhat improved,
though utterly helpless, and scarcely
able to make his wants known. His many
friends in Jackson and vicinity heartily
wish that he may come out all right,
though this is the second stroke of a se
rious nature he has experienced during
the last twelve months.
Wreck oil the Southern.
Everybody who saw the wreck near
Jackson, which occurred about 2 o’clock
Wednesday morning, with four cars and
the engine and tender lying from ten to
thirty feet from the track, pronouuced it
a miracle that human beings could have
been mixed with the flying debris and no
one killed, or even hurt; but that is the
truth of the matter. Misses Elia and
Myrtle Pound, of Cave Spring, were in
one of the cars derailed, and state they
were badly frightened, as they knew they
were near the trestle and all the lights
“had been knocked out, leaving them in
Egyptian darkness.
There are several theories as to the
cause of the wreck. One is that the
nuts were left off the bolts at the rail
joints by the hands who worked there
the evening before, or that they were
taken off by some murderous scoundrel
on purpose to wreck tlie train. We are
inclined to think and sincerely hope it
was a mere accident. Another theory is
that the engine broke down and thus
threw the cars from the track, The two
rear coaches remained on the track, and
the flagman, Mr. J. A. Deavours, who
was in the rear coach, hardly knew there
was a wreck nntil he came out and saw it •
limit Hi Coniinandmeiits.
Dr. Byron gave us the following health
commandments the other day:
Thou shalt have no other food than at
meal time.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any
pies, or put into the pastry the likeness
of anything that is in the heavens above
or in the earth below'. Thou shalt not
fail to chew it or digest it, for the dys
pepsia will be visited upon the children
of the third generation of them that eat
too much pies. But long life and yigor
for those who live prudently and keep
the laws of health.
Hemember thy bread to bake it well,
for he will not be kept sound who eat
etli his bread as dough.
Thou shalt not indulge sorrow or bor
row anxiety in vain.
Six days thou shalt wash and keep
thyself clean, and the seventh day thou
shaU take a great bath, thou and thy
son, thy daughter and thy maid servant,
and the stranger that is within thy gates.
For in six days man sweats and gathers
filth and bacteria ehough for disease;
whereupon the Lord has blessed the
bath-tub and li alto wed it.
Remember thy sitting room and bed
chamber, to keep them well ventilated,
that thy days may be long in this land.
Thou shalt not eat hot biscuit.
Thou shalt not eat thy meat fried.
Thou shalt not swallow the food un
chewed or highly spiced.
Thou shalt not keep iate hours in thy
neighbor’s house, nor with thy neigh
bor’s cards, nor his glass, nor w'ith any
thing that is thy neighbor’s.
