Mr. Worshan? f&tth.d that two of his prisoners

crawled into an adjoining cell r in which s two
other prisoners were confined,, the four
were seated around an old, that was,
full of lighted splinters, playing a. ganm of
cards. How they find obtained either matches
or cards is a mystery, but there they were,,
making no attempt to esoape, but just enjoy
ing a sociable game of “seven-up.” Card
playing must have been a ruling passion with
them, since that was the offense with which
three of them were charged and subsequently
victed.

must speak our mind and tell our readers
that we have an honest preference. We have
been trading in Atlfenfe4>r the last Jen years,
ana in our early visits to that place we be
came acquainted with “Cohen's Paris Store,”
then situated on the south side of Broad
street, in an unpretentious store-room. While
the stock was not at that time as''large as at
present, yet it was select and as complete as
the times demanded. Even at that time the
house was well known in Northeast Georgia,
and the firm did a largo business, increasing
|Z , hk IBIX JIP Vr V Mm
it every year, for when they once got a cus
tomer he was sure to return.
Starting out with a determination to suc
ceed, by fair and honest dealing they have
accomplished their end, and have never vari-'
ed from the rule which has made their busi-
ness a prosperous one.
Several years ago they discovered that,
their business was growing entirely too large
for the quarters they then occupied, s<Mley
made the arrangements for th|:ii present large
and handsome storC-roora, wbrch is admitted
to be tso| best Juy4ng4d dftf rafct*
stCre in tfie Statte? jrfovih§ Into thefr' ndw
quarters, they 6pened out tivtlieir ljnp one of
the latgerft stocks of goods ever bfotigfit to
Athens, and have kept it full to overflowing
ever since. It is a grand sight to make a trip
I t* ■ * Zjt - t §OXI
through fliis empofiurfa of fashion arid hrt, hnd
view the thousands of articles of dress that
are here displayed. But, to gain a compre
hensive glance of the busy scene, just stand
at the top of the stairway leading to the
second story and look down uporl the whole,
and you will be forcibly reminded of tho de
scriptionuof tho Eastern bazars in all their
oriental splendor. f
Each department being separate and dis
tinct, and presided over by a particular clerk,

illusion more complete as We ribte the crowds
of customers before the various counters.
To speak in detail of their present stock is
not our jntentiom.fpr it is an impossibility to
do it justice, and we shall pass over that por
tion of the subject by saying that it is more
complete, and embraces more articles, and
different varieties of th* same article, than'
you can find under another roof in Northeast'
Georgia, and if you go to Athens With your
wives* sisters and daughters, your cousins
and your aunts, and fail to go to Cohen’s, you
have simply kept them out of the womens’
paradise.
In talking about this firm wo know just
j
exactly what we say to be true, for our ex
perience and dfealing9 with them authorizes
every word of praise and commendation. We
have bought goods of them repeatedly, and
have never yet* had an article misrepresented
to us. f lMiey do not run on the sensational
style, and pretend to sell you goods for less
than they cost the manufacturer, and adver
tise “ drives” in order to get 3'ou into their
store, and sell you something cheap and make
it up on another article. That is not tbeir
style of doing business. They sell you hon
est goods at a fair profit, and strive to please
their cusfacm&ers, and this -is the qqly true
business method, and nobody can object to
it. The merchant you goods and
tells you that he is making no profit on them,
[ jc j
is just lying, and if you don't look out he
will cheat you. Beware of that class of
tradesmen ; they will do to watch. There is
no such a thing as getting something for
nothing, and you had better keep clear of
people wbo pretend to run that kind of busi
ness. It is always best to go where you take
no risk in buying and can put confidence in
the merchantyou buy from. Such merchants
you will always find M. G. & J. Cohen.
Tbey- can be trusted, and will treat yon with
kindness and consideration, for they are men
who strive to guard their reputation for hon-
Kmd fair an honorable
to have it soiled or doubted
by trickery and unfair dealing. The best
evidence of the correctness of business
principles is the success they have met with
in strictly following tbem ; from a small busi
ness ten years ago has grown the biggest
trade and largpst stock of dry goods and
clothing in this portion of the State. . U

Since the marriage and departure of seve
ral young ladies from our village, the “boys”
have had a serious attack of the “blues.”
In fact, Jef. Cox was so seventy shocked
when he heard of the marriage of Miss
that be has not been heard to mention the
name of a young lady since’. He has lost all
confidence in the females, and signifies his

atjtrfOdfrcr.. Their re
fusal tlr atknit him hm aroused feelings of
animosity in his breast, and he has determin
ed to witness its extermination. More will
be said in a future communication how this
will be done.
Speaking of Jef. Cox reminds me of his
intimate friend and associate, Jerre Madden,
both of whom had become constant visitors
to Pleasant Hill. But since the departure of
the young ladies their visits have ceased, and
it’ is not believed JtUat cither have ate a square

Scarcely a week passes but something
“turns up” in our vicinity. This time it is
the early departure of one It. L. Pittillo, a
person well known here and at Lula, and
perhaps at other points in South Carolina.
He came here about three 3*ears ago and en
gaged with Mr. A. Atkins. He afterwards
Worked with several: other parties, but more
recently was engaged in hauling stock to Mr.

Qircuinstances. Ho hud? in

sufficient confidence injiis integrity to giye

shorter way—b}* taking “French leave.” lie
had it so arranged that his wife should take
the train at tijia poifft, accompanied by all
the goods she coftltf.carry, and he would meet
her at the station beyond. These facts were
ascertained by Mr. Brown, and lie had all the
goods attached* This brought the gentleman
bafck*Saturday'night in a very unpleasant
humor. It is reported that he left again Sun
day morning and has not been seen since,
and that his wife paid a visit to Jefferson on
Tuesday in 6refer to take the benefit of the
law. m tty#t

1 For Our Readers.
We desire to call your attention to a little
matter which, if you will just look after it,
yon will receive our everlasting thanks, and
cause us to make some money and, at the
same time, cost you nothing but a little breath.
You must be welt aware of the fact by this
time that a newspaper in this country could
not pretend to live without advertising
patronage, consequently the papers must
devote a portion of their space to this business.
Now, a newspaper is value! by the advertiser
according to the return he gets from it. lie
is satisfied if the advertisement brings you
to’lds store—he will sell the goods after you
get there—but likes to know that j ? ou have
read his “ ad,” and when he finds this out he
is well satisfied, and will continue to patronizo
the printer. To'illuStrate more fully and get
you to the point we are driving at, j’ou will
read Cohen’s new advertisement we know, and
you are sure that 3*oll will go to see them
when 3’ou go to Athens. No#, when you go
in just take occasion to say that/fou sdw his
“ ad” in the Herald, and if 3*ou think so,
just tell him that it induced you to call—
well, it won’t hurt to say this anylidw. By
so doing 3*ou will please Cohen. lie v#ill be
satisfied that his investment in the Herald
is paying him, and he wiH keep one in all
the time that will keep us happy and enable
us to work all the harder to get the news for
you. You see it is a small matter we ask of
3*ou, but if bur readers would only help us in
this respect they would confer a great favor
at no expense to themselves.
A NEW KIND OF WATCH CASE.
New because it is only within the last few years
that it has been improved and brought within the
reach of every one ; old in principle because the
first invention was made and the first patent taken
out nearly twenty >’ears ago, and cases made at
that time and worn ever since, are nearly as good
as new. Read the following which is only one of
many hundreds, your jewelers can tell of similar
ones:

I have a customer who has carried one of Boss’
Patent cases fifteen years and I knew it two years
before he got it, and it now appears good for ten
years longer.
R. E. OLNEY.
Remember that Jas. Boss’ is the only patent
case made of two plates of solid gold (one outside
and one inside) covering every part exposed to
wear or sight, the great advantage of these plates
over electro-gilding is apparent to every one. Boss’
ts the only patent case with which there is given
a written warrant, of which the following is a fac
simile :
