THE FOilT GAINES SENTINEL. iOSHUA'JOHES, Editor and Proprietor. VOLUME Yll. 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. A. M.

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. Jkkk 1).

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. Sent tn tilt' Siiiiltarluin. 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.
