A Personal Letter.
Have you read or heard of the
immense stock of goods down at
\V. H. Clements’ big store on the
corner. If you have not seen that
store since Mr. Clements returned
from the greatest market of Arner
ica, New York, you have missed
seeing the best selected stock of
merchandise of every description
you ever saw in a town the size ot
Eastman.
Mr. Clements says New York is
full of bargains of all kinds and
that he bought his big store full.
So, now, he is happy and you will
be just as happy as he if you will
visit his store and buy some of the
many bargains he is selling.
Mr. Clements assures the trad
ing public that they can not val¬ get
as much goods of the same
ue elsewhere as he will give for the
same money. You, of course,
have not forgotten that Mr. Clem¬
ents bought out the shoe store last
year, and is keeping the largest
and best line of shoes to be found
anywhere in this section of Geor¬
gia. He says that he still has on
hand a few shoes that were in the
(shoe store) stock that he is sell¬
ing at actual first cost, Can you
miss getting some of the bargains?
All Mr. Clements asks of any fair
minded iftm is to call and inspect
I” 9 big stock of Drygoods No
tions, bruits, »,nits, mt 1 . ens

see for yourself. He buys cotton
and will pay you a good price for
all you bring him. ****

Monday morning for want of suffi

We had occasion this week to
visit the Eastman ginnery and
grist mill while it was running in
full blast,which is a regular thing
at present, and we venture the as¬
sertion that there is not a more
up-to-date establishment in South
Georgia. All a man has to do
there, is to drive his wagon under
a suction pipe, which readily car¬
ries the cotton into the gin, and
then bust le around to the platform
to get the bale as it rolls out of the
press, and it is all done before you
could Hkm a cat, so to speak. A
bushel of fine meal is delivered in
like manner if you have provided
the miller with the necessary
amount of corn.
