To The Ladies Only.
The* men will please not read
this. I have sent Mr. Wooten to
New York to buy anew stock of
fall and Winter Goods, and Ladies
Trimmed Ilats. The stock lie will
purchase will be far superior to
any ever shown in Coffee county,
and you tire cordially invited to ex
amine his selections. The new
stock will be ready for you in ten
days.

Paxson’s Cheap Store, Douglas.
The Two Tickets.
We present to-day, in another
place, both the democratic and peo
ple’s party tickets side by side,
you can pay your money and take
your choice, or in other words,
you can read them over and famil
iarize yourself with the names of
the gentlemen on both sides. As
a friend at our side remarked as we
were writing this article, “some of
the best men in the county are on
those tickets,” and you will not go
astray if you vote for either, were
it not for the party lines. The
representative and surveyor nomi
nated by the people’s party have
both resigned, leaving those places
vacant, to be filled later, perhaps,
by that party or as Calvin Ward
is the only candidate for represen
tative before the people of the
county, his name will fit in nicely,
and a purer, better man than he, is
not in Coffee county. But, of
course, the voter will use his own
discretion in the matter, for the
Breeze is not here to electioneer
for any one, simply to give the
“news,” and friendly advice.
Mr. Arthur Lott for Representative.
The Breeze pulished Mr. Paulk’s
card last week declining to be a

MISS TATTLER SAYS.
SThat all is not gold that
glitters, and every man
X that wears the garb of
the gentle man will not
measure up to the stand
ard when the tape-li.ie is
produced.
1 hat when a woman is through
giving a “man a piece of her mind”
he naturally wants to know if she
has any left. Saucy thing.
1 hat tlu: days ot the summer
girl tire numbered for the present.
The society dudine, in chalk and
paint now takes the floor, and
she 11 dance at tjie drop of your
hat, too.
That the wosrt disappointed
man she ever knew was the fellow
who advertised for a “girl with
$5,000.” The feminine world knew
he was a tool, and a tool and the
money he handles soon parts.
That’s the unvarnished truth.
That some men are talking about
wearing shirt waists themselves be
cause they tire too stingy and mean
to support some one else who has
a right to wear them. Hateful
things. (
That the man with the reddest,
healthiest looking nose is generally
the heartiest drinker, but will nev
er make a good provider for a
hearty eater. A girl’s a fool to
try him, tooo.
1 hat the least said is often the
easiest mended and she is not going
to say much to-day.
That Tommie Young was in
Nichols last Saturday, and the
Nichols girls are going to vote for
him, thinking he will furnish them
a license and a tellow as he lias
promised her. Jealous tilings, yes,
they are.
To Courting People.
If you are going to get married
come and see the fine dress goods
for Wedding Dresses that Mr.
Wooten has gone to New York to
buy. He will get everything you
need from Dress Goods to Hats,
Trunks and House Furnishings,
and fix you up for traveling or
House-keeping. He got married
once himself, and knows exactly
what you need.
W. O. Paxson,
Paxson’s cheap store, Douglas, Ga.
Farmers and Merchants Warehouse.
I lie above named organization
will soon be ready to handle the
farmers’ cotton, and enable him to
hold the same for better prices, if
they are not offered at the time he
is prepared to sell or deliver the
same. A movement is on foot
now, and alwas is at this time of
the year, to force the prices of cot
ton down and keep it down, but
judicious action and patience will
prevent this. 'The crop reports
from all sections are very discour
aging, tending almost to a panic,
that will force the prices skywards.
On top of this comes the appalling
news of the disastrous work of the
storm in Texas and Louisana. al
most destroying the entire cotton
as well as other crops of the former,
and seriously ruining one third of
of the. crops of the latter, and as
soon as the full reports are in from
these states better prices may be
looked for, and the Breeze will not
be surprised to hear of 11 cents be
ing paid for short cotton this com
ing season.
To the Citizens of Coffee County and
the Candidates of Both Parties.
A meeting will be held at Doug
las, Ga., on SATURDAY, SEPT.
22nd 1900, for the purpose of try
ing to effect a compromise between
the Populist and Democratic Par
ties, and only having one ticket in
the field. I have talked with lead
ing men of both parties in the
county, and all seem favorable of a
compromise. Both parties are tired
of this confusion, while one seems
to be waiting for the other to
yield. Now, let us both yield.
Let every man who feels an in
terest in the county, financially,
morally, religiously and politically
come on the 22nd, to help compro
mise the<| issues that have been
demoralizing the county and busi
ness for the last ten years. I can-
Lot see any ground for this great
—brother against brother
against son.

LACONICS FROM lAX.
A Picnic and the Candidates. A num
ber of Visitors on the Wing
and Hiram Paulk is about
to Loose his Girl. Fever
in the Paulk Family.
1 he hottest days of summer seem
to be past and the weather is just
fine al present, but still we want
(lie Breeze.
Ihe picnic at Bridgetown last
Saturday was a complete success.
Ye scribe and others this place
went down and had tlje extreme
pleasure of feeling ourselves roy
ally treated. We had good things
to eat and Iree lemonade to drink,
and more good things to eat; a
string band consisting of three
pieces furnished some excellent pic
nic music, and the young people
swung the light fantastic toe, and
felt glad they had come again.
Mr. Tom Daniels and Mr. D. P.
Lott were the most pleasing looking
married men we saw at the picnic.
I hey’re candidates, you see. Tom"
did not make a stump speech on
this occasion, but he will when he
runs for president.
Miss Ella Boyd, a very charming
young lady of Feronia is a pleasant
visitor at Lax this week. Miss EJJa
is such a sweet little girl, we siitffl
miss her sadly when she leaves 11s;
and Hiram Paulk .veil, he just
thinks he can’t hear for her to go
back to the other side of the county
at all.
Some of our Lax people took in
the big meeting at New Hope yes
terday and report a good time.
Misses Ada and Ok Paulk, and
their little visiting friend, Miss
Jettie Miller of Waycross, spent
last Friday night with us, and made
us to rejoice muchly.
Miss Ida Paulk spent a few days
with us last week as a farewell
visit before leaving for Milledge
ville where she expects to attend
the Georgia Normal and Industrial
College, for several months. She
intends starting tomorrow.
Several members of Mr. Tlios.
Paulk’s family are stiil sick with
fever, but are thought to be con
valescing just at present.
Macom.
Will Meet at Nichols.
According to (lie minutes of last
session, the Smyrna Baptist Associ
ation will meet at Nichols, in the
Baptist church, on Friday before
the 4th Sunday in October at to
o’clock a. m., 1900. This notice
is given by the Breeze, on its own
responsibility, that all concerned
may be preparing their church re
ports, getting up statistics, and last
but not least, taking up collections,
etc. In this connection it may not
he out of place to stale that the
Breeze prints the prettiest, plainest
church minutes of any office in the
land. Prices are some higher than
last year on account of advance in
price of paper, but the work can
not be beaten.
Coffee County Sunday School Con
vention.
At the request of the citizens of
McDonald’; mill the Sunday School
Convention will be held there mi
Saturday and Sunday October
and 28th, instead of third Sunday
and Saturday before as previously
announced. We are anxious to
have every Sunday School in the
County represented. Programs are
being prepared and will be readv
about the first of October. All
persons interested in Sunday School
work are invited to meet with us,
and help us to answer the question :
“Our children—what shall we do
with them ?”
