It is the first city in the land through the efforts of its patriotic women, where a monument of its size w r as placed oti its most promi nent thoroughfare, in memory of the “Lost Cause?” and its dead he roes. YY'hile tile writer is one of the younger generations he no less feels a thrill of pride running through his veijns, when he reads of the many bra ve and daring deeds of our old heroes.

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. W. O. Paxson, 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 (Candidate for representative, and also announced Tanner would for 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. Y our-, to pmnii-c. Sept 22:id. 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 ?” YV. P. Waiid. Jas. \Y\ Rohkkts, President. Secretary. Off For New York. I have bundled Mr. YVooten up in a knot and sent him to New Y ork with positive instructions to buy the finest line of Dress Goods, Trimmings and Clothing to be found. In ten days all the new and stylish goods will be rolling in, and those in need of first-class up-to-date goods can have their every wpnt supplied. YY r . O.
