To Oar Customers.
After dim deliberation and long
business experience, we have come
to the conclusion that business
must be done on a cash basis.
Therefore, on the 15th day of De
cember. 1899, we will change our
present system of doing business
aud sell all goods strict 1> for 1 he
CASH. By this method we mean
to give our customers the advan
tage ot the very lowest prices
possible, saving them from ten to
fifteen per cent, on all goods
bought.
We appreciate your patronage
in the past, amt hope to have a
continuance of the same under
our new method.
Kindly thanking you for all
past favors, and hoping to ‘see
your smiling faces often in the
future, we beg to remain very
truly yours, McMillan – co.

Fain, Jones and McElreath
Were NmnliiMiisl ft>r Oily
Last 8a*urtlay.—Quiet Flection.
The primary held last, Saturday
to nominate three aldermen
Cordele and to elect a city
tive committee was perhaps the
most quiet municipal election ever
held in Cordele. A total of only
208 votes were polled, which wag
much below a normal vote. Six
candidates were in the race for
aldermanic honors. Mr. J. B.Faiu,
Col. J. G. Jones and Dr. T. P
McElreath received the highest
vote, as the following count shows:
J. B. Fain. 121.
J. G. Jones, 117.
T. P. McElreath, 102.
J. M. Cox, 95.
W. B. Marshall, 90.
Z. A. Bolton, 85.
For executive committee, Mr.
C. B. Bowen led the race, receiv
ing 200 of the 208 vote* polled.
The following are the names of
the new executive committee:
C. B. Bowen.
Col. W. 8. Thomson.
J. A. Lasseter.
B. H. Palmer.
W. H. McKenzie.
The newly elected aldermen
said in their announcement card
that “if elected to serve the city
as aldermen at the regular election
to be held for that purpose in
January, 1900, we will endeavor
to work for the best interests of
the city, knowing no special class
or faction, but for the good of the
greatest number and for the pro
gress and upbuilding of our city.”
It is also stated that the newly
elected executive committee were
selected from among those who
have taken little or no stand in
factional differences heretofore
existing in Cordele municipal
affairs. The significance of the
election, if any, ia therefore said
to be favorable to no more dis
graceful factional differences in
Cordele, and that the majority of
our people favor those who an
nounce that they “will know no
faction” in discharging their duty.
The nominees will be elected on
the 2nd Wednesday in
next, without opposition,
will not be repeated this year
least.
