H. Snook, the great furniture dealer, At ianta. Ga., should be carefully read by all who wish or expect to purchase fur nituieof any kind. Mr. Snook not only has the cheapest furniture house in Georgia, but the finest and largest stock in the whole South—-and unex Celled North or South. His sales dur ing 1882 were the second largest in tiie Southern States. During our stay in Atlanta last week we visited his mam moth establishment and saw his im tic manner, and designed with a ape cial view to meet tiie wants of the cul tivated and refined. We have no hesi tancy in saying that he has the largest •and haudsomest stock of decorative furniture in the South.

A. W. Mershon & W. T. Flynt composing the firm of Mer s .on & Flynt, opened business in Sha¬ ron on the 20th August, 1880. While they confined themselves to cash their business was a success. In 1881 they decided to run a supply business on time in connection witli drv goods. At the closeof ilieyear they were compelled to close some of their aecouuts by note. Hoping to meet with better collections they continued to run a supply business in 1882 and while the year was veiy fa¬ vorable so far as crops were concerned, they slid found that their collections were deficient. At the commencement of 1883,having the past two years before them as a lesson, tney decided to leave off supplies aud sell dry goods exclusive ly, requesting their customers to come up promptly in the early part of the fall and settle in order tiiat they might be able to meet their bills at maturity. To this request many of their custo¬ mers faithfully res ponded, but not enough to satisfy the indebtedness of the house, consequently for the benefit of creditors, on October 9th, they made an honorable assignment. We regret very much that they have gone out of business, as they have been a great benefit to our community by their up¬ right dealings, having for their motto the golden rule, “Do unto others as you would they should do unto you.” —AR/t this week I will keep my gallery oueu only on Mondays and Tuesdays of each week for work.
