A Dollar Saved is a
Dollar RDade!
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
iu 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
ri"ht when you trade with him, hut a merchant at times needs cash
much more than the goods in HAstorc. I am at present iu that condi¬
tion, and to raise some money I have
Reduced the Prices
Of many articles below the unusual price. Y-ou will also bear in mind
that I do not make any charges' for displaying my goods or cutting
samples. 1 have always found that showing goods and moving same
about they retain their new looks longer. I could mention some very
low prices on some goods, yet that would not convey to you the idea
that the article is cheap, since yv? carry different grades of Goods. To
Buy Good Goods Right
~
is a bargain, hut to buy cheap Goods cheap is not. It is true every
merchant has at times an article of which he wishes to dispose, aud on
that account will offer some below the usual value. • *
I have, for instance, now a lot of White Goods, Colored Lawns,
Slippers and Laces on hand which 1 know are hard stock to sell next
fall. Iihave 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.

FORT GAINES, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 2,
Another Letter from Mr. MrKI»«iif||.
New Yoiik, July 26,1601.
Dkak .Tosh:—
When I'TVrote you last we were then
in Buffalo. 1 was certainly impressed
with the climate of this beautiful city
pf 400,000 people. It is situated on
the ftout,of Lake Erie, Niagara river
and Erib Canal. She has the prettiest
park and shade trees I ever saw, 1
spent otic afternoon* at Front park,
where all the flutS'" turnouts including
the automobile, and every other ve¬
hicle you might think of you can see at
this park. The 74th U. S. regiment is
here. It is from this park that you
can look over into Canada. The
Niagara river, Lake Erie and the Erie
Canal all intersect here. Wo took in
Niagara Falls. They are abaut 22
miles from the city, or a half hour’s
ride. It is impossible to describe the
grandeur of their majestic cataracts,
whose ceaseless roar has been heard
through countless ages, and which
have for centuries excited the awe and
wonderment of savage and civilized
men. Theso falls arc composed
two bodies of water, named respect¬
ively Horse Shoe or Canadian Falls,and
the American Falls, which includes the
Luna Falls. The total length of the
American Falls, including Luna Falls
is 1,400 feet, and the contour of the
Horse Shoe Falls is 2,700 feet, the
average height is 158 feet.
I saw the tower Miss Florence
Leonard, of Arlington, spent the night
in. She certainly has more grit than
the writer. I just would not go up on
this tower. I have been to the top of
Washington monument, 51 stories
So see I am not
either.
Well, I took in the Pan-American.
The exterior of the buildings, includ¬
ing the plaza, electric tower, tower
basin, court of the fountain and es¬
planade and their surroundings are too
grand to describe, when the electric
lights are turned on. The scenery on
the Hudson river, Niagora Falls and
the illumination are the attractions
here. The war department interested
me more than any of the other exhibits,
as I had seen the most of them at the
World’s Fair.
1 am now in the great metropolis,
or City of New York. Have been
here live days to-day. I am looking
after the interests of MeKissacK & Co.
We shall carry the stock this fall. I
certainly have found tin* bargains. I
would just love lo tell what 1 have
bought, but Josh, it would take up all
of your valuable paper. I will just
wait till I get home. I am not through
buying yet. Love lo you and yours.

Rev. T. Do Will Talmage says that
“a newspaper whose columns overflow

attention to and building up a city or
town than any other agency that can
he employed. People go where there
is business. Capital and labor will
locate where there is an enterprising
community. No power on earth is so
strong to build up a town as news¬
papers well patronized, and this power
should be appreciated.”

The honrd of county registrars have
held forth at the court house this week,
and judging from tlje present outlook
they will hardly he able to go through
the entire list of registered voters by
August 15. We understand the dry
crowd have or will challenge the
qualification of nearly every '‘wet” ne¬
gro who has registered, it appearing
from the tax books that at least eighty
per cent of them are defaulters for one
or more years since 1S77.
The dry negroes and many of Urn
whites are in equally as bad shape, ac¬
cording to ll.e tax- books, and the wets
will retaliate by questioning their
right to vote, holding that if the law is
to be enforced it should be made to
apply to all alike, wot or dry, white or
black. "
However, there are some who have
already brought up lax receipts for the
years'- for whie.r- .hey are challenged,
notwithstanding their names dd not
appear on the books at all for tlrese
years.
Evidently the tax digests of a few.
years back are in bad shape, and it?
is probable that numbers of voters will
ho deprived of their rightful franchise
under the law because of the careless¬
ness of others.

Miss Nancy D. Hancock, of Cole¬
man, was adjudged a tit subject for tho
State Sanitarium last Saturday. Judge
Taylor went down to Coleman, and:
the trial was held there. She was*
carried to Milledgeviile on the same
day.
Miss Hancock is about 56 years of'
age, and until somewhat less than a
year ago has been considered of sound
mind. Seven or eight mouths ago she
had a serious illness which left her
mentally unbalanced, and her condi¬
tion grew worse until her relatives
deemed it advisable to have sent to
Miiledgcville. This is a sad case.—
Cuthbcrt Leader.
His recalled that after a. study of
the spots on the sun, about a year
ago, Camille Flatnmarion, the French
astronomer, declared that the earth
was entering a period of live years,
lh<* summers of which would be the
hottest in history. He was laughed at
by other scienlisls, hut the intense
heat of last summer and tho pheno¬
menal records already reported Ibis
summer from various parts of the
1,'nitcd States and from Europe are
calculated to gain for his prediction a
somewhat more respectful consider¬
ation.
Mrs. E. E. Ives and her daughter,
Miss Agnes, will leave in a day or two
for Orlando, Fla., to he gone several
week. For nearly two year,'s Mrs. Ives
has had charge of the telegraph ofiice
and had her daughrer in college here,
and she feels the need of a vacation.
During her absence her nephew. Mr.
Dudley Guinn, formerly of Fort Gaines,
now of Atlanta, will supply her place
iu the telepraph ofiice.—Cuthbert
Leader.
