We bought the S H. Deane. Stock of MtrcWn-
chandise, which we are going to close
out at Wholesale Cost.
Besides the Deane Purchase we have bought
largely of Summer Goods in Baltimore recently, and
our Mr. J. L. Bass, of Rome, Ga., who knew nothing
of these purchases, visited New Yark City and bought
enough summer goods to supply the wants of a city
of 35,000 people. Well, we only have a population
of i 3 ,ooo, more or less, and a little over two months
in which to sell this magnificent collection of summer
goods. and Mrs. Thaxton
Miss Harris would like to have
another Spring Millinery Opening, as their stock is
perfectly beautiful. Misses Camp and Smith would
also like to have another Dry Goods Opening, to show
the pretty All-Over Laces and Embroideries, the new
Lawns, Dimities, Organdies, Silks, etc. Yes, we would
all doubtless enjoy seeing the lovely goods which we
have on display, but the time is too short. We are
overstocked on many t hings and our time must be
given to selling.
We have bought material to trim 600 ladies hats.
It was bought at half price on account of the lateness
of the season, and will be sold for less than half price.
If your old hat needs new material, bring it up at
once and get it made over. This millinery stock must
go, if at give-away prices. New Lawns, new Dimi¬
ties, hew Organdies by the case. A $1,000 worth of
Laces, Embroiderioc, All-Overs must be disposed of.
Linen-finished Crash, worth 10c. yard to go at Calico
prices.
100 Suits of Clothes, worth $6.00, bought so that
we can sell them at $3.50 Suit; sizes. 54 to 42.' Our

‘'Yes, it is going to be oarried
through, and it means that Griffin
will |ave a population of 11,060 or
12,00jk inside of five years.”
fMR. __ was the language yesterday
of Blakely, bank and cotton
milli whufasale president, city prominent alderman,
grocer and
factor in most Griffin affairs. It is
a broad statement, bat from a oon-
seryative and solid man, not given
to enthusiasm or extravagant asser¬
tion.
He had been asked to enlighten
the News and Bun readers as to
rhit was back of the resolution in¬
passed troduced by by the him council and unanimously at last
its
meetiug, pledging the eity’s support
to a company who propose to bring
power here from Flat Bhoals
“My information,” said Mr.
Blakely, “oomes from John A
Gresham, a thoroughly reliable At¬
lanta gentleman whom I have
known for the last five years. He
is the agent of Eastern capitalists
With plenty of money, who have an
on the Freeman property at
Flat Shoals and nave only been
waiting for this olty’s action before
closing a trade. The company pro¬
poses to transmit a portion of the
enormous power at the Bhoals to
tjhis tMfrftao city by means it the of different eleotricity small and
use at
towns along the line between here
and the Bhoals. Doubtless they will
also put op factories at the Shoals.
“The resolution contemplate*
that the city shall use this power at
its light and water plant. Of coarse,
every industry in and aronnd Grif¬
fin, including all that, cotton facto¬
ries, will have to use it, as it will be
cheaper than coal.
“Then it will offer the greatest
kind of inducement for other fao
tories to locate here, and any num¬
ber of small industries will be en¬
couraged to start up with ohaap
power and a lessened investment for
plant. It will make the city grow
as it never has grown before.”
It is estimated that the oost of
the enterprise will be from $300,000
to $600,000, but it is perfectly feasi¬
ble and is bound to be profitable, as
the advantages it offers will oer-
iainly cause the power to be at onoe
utilized. It is like the harnessing
of Niagara on a small scale, and
will make a Southern city of Buffalo
out of Griffiu.

corroborated the statements of Mr.
Blakely and also spoke of the
scheme as an assured-fact.

Scrofula requires vigorous, persistent treatment. The blood must be brought back to a healthy
condition before the terrible disease can be stopped in its work of destruction. Mercury, potash and
other poisonous minerals usually given in such cases do more harm than good ; they ruin the digestion
