and from it we judge that cotton
wns not injured ns much as was ex
pected: Mr. M. M. Flitch sold the
first bale of cotton picked from the
ground after the storm, on Thurs

lojf cents, selling forasmuch as
similar grades nicked before the

The Times says that extensive

The Koine Bulletin says: The
Koine Female College has supplied
the Staunton, Virginia. Female
College with three teachers within
the last three years. All the pupils
who graduate from this institution
are capable of making good teach

Whether this is origuni with the
Koine Bulletin man or not we can
not say. If it is, it is rough on
some one. “A young man on the
fast train put his bend out of the

Though young in experience the
Dooly Vindicator bids fair to be

paper story tellers. Itsbould have
brushed this up a little more elabo

“We have been reliably informed

four miles from.Vienna, is thcown-
cr of a very valuable hen. When

Willingham is this time, as he yen

Editor Freeman of the Coffee
County Gazette, has been in
world of tioiihlc, and the News and
Signal made the broad assertion
that lie had been unusually i|iiiel,
whereupon ho rises and remarks:
Yes, sir, you are about half right,
we have been quiet. Wouldn’t you
be quiet if you had chills, agues,

Conlederntc bonds seem to be

of Sunday says: There was a big
demand yesterday for Confederate
bonds. Mr. W. 0. Solomon, tho

$7.50 per thousand for them. He
will buy all he can get.

“paddles her own canoe.”

“Large numbers of hogs have re

is something novel in this. Novel
in tliat the Georgia farmers should
fatten people's bogs before they
fatten their own. Onr advice would
be t6 them to fatten their own first.
Kastman Times: From tho Ordi
nary, Hon. J. J. lloznr, who has
been engnged in figuring on the ex
pense to the county incurred by the
late riot, including the recent ses
sion of the superior court, we learn
that the same amounts to $C,5C2.
This being an entirely extra ex
pense, it will make the taxes of our
county very high for the present
year, as it is the wish of the people
generally to have a sufficient per
cent levied to liquidate the entire
debt.
We sincerely hope that the next
Representative from this county to
the General Assembly will be able
to get some assistance from the
State—at least to the extent of our
quota of State tax, to aid in defray
ing this -expense, as rccommcdcd
by the grand jury.

The Columbus Euquirer-Sun
thus chronicles the first arrival ot
oranges: The steamer Caddo Bode
brought up the first Florida or
anges of the crop of 1882-3 last
night. She brought up eiclit bar
rels and seventeen boxes consigned
to Messrs. C. E. Ilochstrnsser, J.
F. Muterum is Co., and M. T. Mor
gan. They were raised on the low

the consigners were. This is sev

received last year.

ECONOMY.
It is the economical ninn wbo succeeds
in life nnd is happy. His wife always wears
good clothes, nnd his children nlwiivs
have plenty of syrnn on their brend. He
is not worried to dentil by duns, nnd lie
don’t bnve to i-nenk up it bock alley in
order to avoid the mini he owes. By nn
economical man I don’t nienn n stingy
man, for there’s n big difference between
economy nnd stinginess. Vour stingy
man don't enjoy anything, not even his
breath, for he’s nfroid to draw a full
breath for fear he won't hove enough to
last the day out.
Economy means to buy the best nt the
lowest prices, and that is the reason why
all economical people buy their furniture
of D. B. Hill, for they know that his fnr-
nituie ih well and neat'y made, durable
nnd handsome, nnd sold nt prices as low
as good furniture can be sold for. They
know that be ke>ps a large stock
md that they can make a good *elec-
lion, get what they want, nnd there is
more in that than you may tlii-k, for
when yon huv something you do not
want you are never satisfied with it.
There is another thing your economi
cal man does—he always buys ns tunny
things as possible nt one stor'\ knowing
that when he runs up a good bill lie can
always get a good reduction, and that is
another rnison why ho buys at Hill’s
Furniture Store, for there he can not only
And all kinds of furniture, but he can
buy dishes, crockery, lumps, silver nnd
plated ware, certain*, cntlery, and in fact
nlinost anything to set up h’lnsekeepin/.
Your economical tnnn knows all this and
don’t fool away his time nnd monev l>v
running nil over town after things that
he can pnrclmee nt one place, and he
knows that Hill is always lib rnl to gooJ
customer*.
Finally nnd in conclusion, ray hearers,
I can say that true economy consists in
buying your furniture and housekeeping
goods at I). B. Hill's Furniture Store,
which yon will find on Cotton Avenue,
in Americu*.
