Just before JM February court* Mr. Winn Worsham, who is jailor, was called up by somebody who had seen a light in the jail. On going to the jail to make an examination, Mr. Worshan? f&tth.d that two of his prisoners had crawled through the little feed door in the cell door, and, hA the same manner 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. j*-* W g-fl — Childrens, Hay at,Lebanon.

Apply to Blackstqck & Sons, 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, who has it In s bia especfhl charge, nfeier the ts ' -t' ;! , ’ r :■ 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. .

But since the departure of the young ladies their visits have ceased, and it’ is not believed JtUat cither have ate a square me'al since!* 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.

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.
