A Dollar* Saved is a
Dollar* J^ade!
You can save many a dollar, kind friends, by calling at my store
when in Need of
Latest Style Shoes & Slippers,
A Fine Dress, Good Hats,
Trimmings, Fancy Novelties,
Suit of Ciothes, Furniture,
Dixie Mosquito Frames & Nets
And many other article of use. Do not buy from me until you have
looked elsewhere, but after having examined the above named goods
in other stores call and let me show you the
Nicest Goods for Least Money
There is no doubt every merchant in Fort Gaines will treat you all
right when you trade with him, but a merchant at times needs cash
much more than the goods iu the store. £ am at present in that condi¬
tion, and to raise some money I have
Reduced the Prices
Of many articles below the unusual price. Yon will also bear in mind
that I do not make any charges for displaying my goods or cutting
samples. I have always found that showing goods and moving same
about they retain their new looks longer. 1 could mention some very
low prices on some goods, yet that would not convey to you the idea
that the article is cheap, since we carry different grades of Goods. To
Buy Good Goods Right
is a bargain, but to buy cheap Goods cheap is not. It is true every
merchant has at times an article of which he wishes to dispose, and on
that account will offer some below the usual value.
Slippers I have,*fbr instance, now a lot of White Goods, Colored Lawns,
and Laces on hand which 1 know are hard stock to sell next
fall. I,have therefore reduced the pric on them so they will sell quick,
If you spend your money here you may see it again, but if you
send it off it may be out of sight forever.

Letter Iroika fflr. IWoKUnnck.
Buffalo, N. Y., July 22. 1901.
Dear Josn:— i
Wc have arrived at our destination,
after about five days on land and sea.
We took the Kansas City Wednesday
eve, the 17th, at 6 o’clock and arrived
in New York Friday evening about
9 o'clock, after a delightful ocean trip.
Only a very few were sea sick. YVc
had all the accomodations we could
ask. Our friend W. B. Graham had
procured for us one of the best slate*
rooms on the Kansas City, and the
menu was just splendid. The ocean
calm when we enter the New York
harbor, the electric lights and many
other pretty sights were all wc ex¬
pected.
We spent Friday night in New York
and.,left Saturday at 8:45 over the New
York.vCentral. This line runs along
the banks'of the Hudson river up to
Albany, 142 miles. You can get as
good view of the river as you could
if yon were on a boat. To describe
the scenery on this river is beyond my
feeble pen. Its too grand to attempt.
We arrived here Saturday evo about
7 o’clock, and having rested yesterday
—Sunday—to-day we will take in the
Pan-American. Wc want to spend
next Sabbath in New York City where
I shall buy my tail goods. I will take
time and try to buy the best line of
dress goods, which will require about
one week’s selections.
I shall write you again perhaps from
New York.
As ever your friend,
Jeff D. McKissack.
The negro who was found on tho
.railroad two or v -ngrr be¬
tween this city and Bronwood, and
brought to the depot by the section
master, and had his wounds attended
to by Dr. Harman, lives in Clay county,
on the farm of Mr. Joe Ray, near (Jot
ton Ilil'.. Ilis name is Dan Butler,
and claims that he received his in¬
juries while engaged in ‘gambling.
Being thirteen or fourteen dollars
ahead, the other negroes assaulted him
and after robbing him carried him to
the railroad track and left him aficr
threatening to kill him should lie tell on
them. After becoming sober ho wan¬
dered away and on Sundy afternoon
following we saw him carried aboard
the train at Shellman to lie sent home
where he now is. From Dr. IT. W.
Harris, of Shellman, who was in Daw¬
son Sunday night, we barn that tho
negro was carried to him for treat¬
ment and he fixed him up the best be
could, but owing to long neglect du¬
ring the hot weather, hi- wounds were
in a horrible condition.—Dawson Re¬
corder.
Jl has been charged by some that all
we have written concerning our po¬
sition od the prohibition question has
been favorable to the mgavive side. If
our position had not been questioned
it is very likely that wc would not
have written a line. But being as¬
sailed it was necessary to state what
we think of prohibition as a remedy
for intemperance in order to give our
reasons for declining to support it. So
far as the question of prohibition (so
called) and anti-prohibition is concern¬
ed, wc believe we are perfectly neutral,
being convinced that both are evils,
and what you or somebody else may
flunk about it doesn : t alter our opinion
in the least. There arc other questions
we believe to he behind the movement
in Clay county, in which that of tem¬
perance is not a consideration. Our
brethern of some of the neighboring
press know nothing of these issues,
and therefore are not competent critics
of our position. While w'e respect
them as brethren of the press, undei
the circumstances we have*little regard
for their comments in this in stance.

The registration books for the pro¬
hibition election were closed yesterday.
Tax Collector West informs us it is
the largest registration ever had in this
county, being about 525 whites and
8(X* negroes. lie thinks 100 or more
negro voters will be thrown out as tax
defaulters, and perhaps a few whites.
The South Carolina Chemical Works
have recently made numerous
deals in the purchase of cotton seed
oil mills and guono factories at dif¬
ferent points iu the South, which
means a gigantic monopoly of the busi¬
ness. Wc understand that tho same
concern has bought the Fort Gaines
nulls, but inquiry failed to elicit any
information on the subject. That
which we “get from the public” is
public anyway, and wouldn’t be news.
Happily Mated.
Mr. Bridger Harrison and Miss
Regia Thompson both of Blufftbn,
were married yesterday at the Rome of
the bride’s parents, Dr. and Mrs
P, II. Thompson, Rev. C. A. Jack
son officiating.
The groom is one of Clay’s most
worthy young men and a prosperous
farmer, numbering his friends by the
score. The bride is a popular belle of
that section, and is a young lady of
much refinement and cutture.
It is'indeed a happy match, and
both are 1b be congratulated.
The Sentinel sincerely joins their
many other “friends in wishing' ft>r
them all the blessings of life deserved
by so worthy young people.

Adjudged Insane.
William Welch and Allen Harris,
two negroes from the seventh district,
were tried in ^Ordinary Foote’s court
Monday and adjudged insane.
The latter named was bitten by a
dog some months ago, and his strange
actions Saturday created the impress¬
ion that ho had hydrophobia, and for
a while considerable excitement pre¬
vailed in the section where lie lived.
He spent some tune iu the woods, and
the negroes, armed with slicks and
other weapons of defense, hunted him
down as they would have hunted a
wild beast. Ho was finally raptured
and brought to town.
The other negro was lodged in jail
Sunday, having manifested Rome dis¬
position to rave and being regarded a
dangerous lunatic. .Some weeks ago,
while culling timber, a small tree which
he had felled lodged against another
tree and in falling the butt end of it
struck linn in the breast. The blow
rendered him senseless, and he lay in
the woods all night.
Both will be sent to Milledgevillc as
soon as the authorities there are ready
to receive them.
Food Changed to Poison.
Putrefying effects food iu the intestines
produces like those of arsenic,
but Dr. King’s New Life Bills expel
the poisons from clogged bowels, gent¬

ness. The bank is principally composed
