Brooks k Mills were busy vester

the first direct shipment of cotton
over the Georgia Midland road to
Liverpool, England, nntl tho ship

It will co! si-1 of two hundred and

will be loaded on the steamer Port

Tnere i9 no disputing the fact that
Griffin has, as usual, been the best
cotiou market iu this section the
past season, buying not only here
but absorbing the receipts of 8ur
rounding villages like Barnesville,
Jackson, Senoift, Thomaston and
other smaller places; and that the
highest prices could be paid is shown
by the fact that these purchases are
made not to sell to other places in
this country, which wool 1 again
make their profits out of Liverpool,
but arc shipped direct to the latter
place from here.

SOME GOOD RESOLUTIONS.
A Few Choice Selections From a Job Lot
at This Office.
< Sirly aid Avoid tho Hash.
At a considerable outlay of time
and money the News has b6en able
to obtain exclusive proprietary right
to a numbei t>f good resolutions for
the new year, bat while possessing a
monopoly we have no desire to rob
those deserving people who are at
ways in search of such articles, con
sequeDtly have made a very low
price on them. We give below a
few samples of the lot, with prices
attached to each, and invito the pat
ronage of all who desire to live
aright in the New Year. The sea
son is getting a little late for good
resolutions, but as there are a large
number of people in this section who
seem to be still noprovided, we hope
to dispose of this choice lot by offer
ing them at cost—to the purchaser.
1. Resolve not to get into debt,
not to run auy account, and to lay
by a little money every month. (This
will bo given free and a chromo ac
company it to all who will give bond
to faithfully keep it)
2. Resolve that you will aid all eu
terprises calculated to enhance the
interests of Griffin and build up the
city. (To those who have shown
tbis k ud of a spirit duriug the past,
the price for tbis resolution will be
one tenth of their income. We have
a list of a few rich men to whom tbis
resolution vuill be given free, accom
panied with a vote of thanks by the
community.)
3 Resolve to quit smoking and
chewing for twelve months. (As
this will prove a saving of from <50
to §100 a year, we will average it
and charge §75 for a copy of this
resolution.)
4. Resolve to quit getting drunk.
(This is a good resolution, aud worth
money, and people ought to be will
mg to pay liberally for it. To in
sure it to stick, not to ravel, or to
run down at the heel we will require
the small fee of §50 in advance. The
purchaser will gain enough in self
respect to make tbis a good invest
ment.)
5. Resolve to be good to yourself
aud family, and advance your own
interests as well as those of the city,
by subscribing for the Daily News.
(This is the best resolution in the
whole assortment and we have no
doubt will prove veiy popular. It
will cost just ten cents a week, or
§5 00 a year to faithfully observe
ths.)
6. Resolve to go to church at
least once a year—once a week, we
mean. (This is a little difficult of
execution on tho part of some men,
but we will make tne price to suit
the means of the applicants. Call
early.)
7. Resolve to quit lying. (As this
resolution is a very difficult one to
carry into practical effect, we cannot
insure it to woik tvuiy time, and
must charge a pretty stiff price for it.
Protectionist editors r cannot have it
at any price, for they are sure to
break it every day in the week,)
8. Resolve to do justice to your
business and advertise the whole
year aronnd in the Daily aud Wrbk
ly News. (Tbis is the second most
valuable resolution io tbis choice
lot and is warranted to make its
owner rich if properly adhered to. It
will be sold at so ranch per inch or
reduced prices for larger lots, and
all very cheap for the value given.)
9. Resolve that Griffin shall not
be found another year almost total
ly unprotected from the ravages of
fire. (This will be given free to all
aldermen who will vote for water
woiks. and as it is to their own vital
interest as well as that of tbeir con
8titueuts, it should be accepted with
tnnnks.)
When these resolntioDS are dis
posed of, we still have a few more of
the same kind. Please call and ex
amine oar stock before it is too late.

DER RAVEN-
1.
Vouce upon an evening dreary
I vas feeling gold and beery,
Und into a saloon I go,
Vherc I so often been before.
Und I set me to a table
Und I dhrink virile I vas able.
Presently I pegan to shnore—
Twss der beer and nothing more,
Simply dis nnd noding more
* II.
Now I dreamed dot I vas sober,
l>Ot vos in der gold October.
Und dot I saw a silfer dollar
Iu der sawdust on der floor,
Vhich I'd dried all day to borrow,
B$p so greatly to my sorrow,
For tome said I will to morrow,
For I loaned yon some before
Und you paid me neferinore—
Simply dis und noding more.
III.
Now der beer vhich I’d beendbrinking
Set me quickly den to tinking
Dot if I’d reach und took dot dollar,
I can get my pants from Simmons stliore,
Und I can pay my girl so dowmy
Half a pound ol nice bologna!
Und I reach te take dot dollar
Und I bet yon I did shwore:
It vas sphit und noding more,
Bienply dis und noding more.
IV.
But the sthillness soon vas broken
By some vords quite loudly sphoken,
Vhere is der money for dot lager
Vhich you in your moutdld pour! 1
Und I said I tod you drusted
Vben der pocket book vas busted;
Und he grabbed me by der collar
Und my pockets did explore—
Found some cheese und noding more.
Simply dis und noding more.
V.
Den he vent out to der gutter
Und pegan to shwear und mutter,
Vcn in skipped two big policemans
Who belong to station house number four
Und dey grabbed me by the gollar,
Und pegan to shwear und holier,
Kicked und searched und noding more—
Simply dis nnd noding more.
VI.
Den vone says now tell me quickly, •

Den lie 6ays, vhy f tell me, craven,
Vhere you ettr ofer in New Havens
For dere I lofed a little dietch gal,
Und her front name vas Katrine,
Und dat vas der name she bore;
But she run off mid a feller
Who is cashier in an oyster cellar,
Now she is in a ninety uiue centsthore—
Simply dot und noding more.
VUI-
But soon I vake up from my shlecpings
Und I find me no policemens
Dere to kick me out of door—
’Twas dere nightmare, noding more.

Whan You can Afford to Stop Advertis¬
ing.
When every man has become so
thoroughly a creature of habit that he
will certainly buy this year where be
bought last year. When younger
and fresher and spunkier concerns in
your line cease starting up and use
ing (lie ro’.vspapers in telling the
people how much belter they can do
for them than you can.
When nobody else thinks “It pays
to advertise.”
When population ceases to multi
ply, and the generations that crowd
on after you and never heard of yon
stop coming.
W’hen you have conv.nced every
body whose life will touch yours
that you have better goods and
lower prices than they can ever get
outside of your store.
When you perceive it to be the
rule that men who never do and
never did advertise are outstripping
their neighbors in the same lino of
business.
When men stop making fortunes
right in your very sight, solely
through the discreet nse of this
mighty agent.
When you can forget the words
of the shrewdest and most success
ful business men concerning the
main cause of their prosperity.
When you would rather have your
own way and fail than take advice
and win.
Wheu you want to go out of bus
in ess with a stock on band.
W’han you waut to get rid of the
treoble of waiting on customers.
Above all other earthly ills,
1 hate the big old fashioned pills,
By alow degrees they downward wend,
And often pause, or upward tend;
With such discomfoitare they fraught,
Their good effects amount to naugbt.
Now, Dr. Piero prepares a pill
That just exactly fills the bill—
A pellet, rather, that is all—
A Pleasant Purgative, and small;
Just try them as you feel tbeir need,
You’ll find that I speak truth indeed. ,

Tho quiet that prevailed in this

parallel in the annals of Griffio, and
in justice to our city government we
must say that it is in a great ineaa
are due to the efforts of oar polk*
that the holidays passed off without
any serious disturbance.
Chief Manley was ever vigilant to
detect wroDgs and violations of any
ordinance, and we can say that of
Seers Doe, Cunningham, Phelps aud
Bowden, were indeed “guardians of
the peace.” While they made al
lowances for “Christmas,’' no ft*
grant violation went unpunished
and tho citizeos are not slow to ap
preciate their efficient services dor
