About September first we shall move into our new store, at the old stand, Barlow Block, Public Square, where we shall open the most elegaut assortment of goods in our line ever wrought to Southwest Georgia. At our pres ent store on Cotton Avenue, we have a large stock of Watches, Clocks and Jewelry, Solid Silver and Plated Ware, Pianos, Organs and Sewing Machines, and everything else usually jept in a Jewelry and Music Store, that must be reduced to save moving and make room for new goods. Therefore, for the next Twenty Days, or until we move, will sell any thing we have in stock at prices lower than have ever been reached before FOR O-A-SIHC I Come and examine our stock, get our prices, and we will guarantee that you will be convinced that we mean what we say Remember we have great bargains to offer for CASH and the time in which to secure them I know ray friends and cus tomers think that I ara rather silent since my return from the North, but it was done on ac count of moving into my new mammoth store, and also in opening and arranging the stock. I will break the silence by stating that I have bought a very large stock of goods, comprising Dry Goods, Furnish ing Goods, Clothing, Shoes, Hats, and in fact everything pertaining to ladies and gentle men’s Wear. I “struck” in time the Halstead, Haynes & Co. which stock, was sold at auction through the assignee These goods are of the finest and best makes, and l will offer them at prices that will make you think that I have got them without buying them at all. will take pleasure in showing and pricing them. Come and examine whether you wish to buy or not. One word to the wise: I bought these goods to sell, and go they must for several rea sons, hence take advantage of the low prices and lay in your fall supply in the wearing line. Respectfully, S. M.

PLYM0UT HR0CKS. Any one wanting —*- mr art them . Americus, Gs. tending tb tr Tho itbove ia now an applicable motto for the six loiulingdry goods houses of Macon. Since the nd vent of I.yon & Clem, a now Arm into the market here, there has been a great commotion and stir in those circles, and every issue ol tbe morning psper Ims a reduced price list of goods from each house, with a great flourish, until tbe innocent private citizens are induced to be' licve that th* price of goods will Dually go bclow'zero, and that they will bo paid lo haul, them away. The advertising man of one house quotes Shakespeare and Pope as header. Another furnishes us with a vivid description of the falling of the elcctrio light tower. An' other with a graphic account of tho midnight dynamio explosion that occurred a few nights since in the centre oi tho oity. Another speaks of the big summer failures in New York, and of tbe trentem dons bargains lie made thero for the beneflt of his customers. The underhanded outs that they make at each other are numerous and bc- vere. Some are sly nnd well com ceived, and the lash is laid on un mercifully. The disinterested cit izen calmly sits down and views the situation from a highly amus' ing point. They enjoy tho blow, and take advantage of and proflt by tho light, and buy what goods they need very oheap. The news paper men also reap a harvest, en joy tbo fun, nnd are willing for the light to continuo so long ns tho be- ligernnts pay for their advertise' ments. Chough they all pretend to scii goods very cheap, some of them below cost, no fatalities arc reported as the result as yet. As before written, Mcrecr Uni- versity opened this week witli the best prospect over boforo known in tho iiistory of that scat of learn ing. We sincerely hope that the people will begin to patronize their homo institutions and to build them up to tbo standard of colleges at a distance, and that tbo only chance for us to have home institutions and facilities of every kind Is to uphold them by our pat ronage and support, as well as by our good wishes, and not send oil to other communities for every thing we get, thus enriching them with what Justly belongs at borne, and crippling every homo interest. Their exouse is that no such ad- vantages arc offered at home. We say yes, and that thero nover will bo unless we build up whst we have by our patronage and mak* tbcm equal. This has been a lively week with Hie fun loving part of our popuU' tion. Sinco tbe dual performance written about of Monday night wo have had two trou pcs. On Tucs- uay night Harlow & Wilson minstrels appeared before the largest audience that over greeted a minstrel company in Macon, or perhaps any other kind of compa ny. Over 1 500 people wero in the audicnco, and nearly fl,100 were tbe receipts. It is said thal they gave a good laughablo perform ance, but we deem it no compll moot to Macon that minstrels draw the largest bouses. Or. Thursday night, not a very large but very intelligent audience witnessed the first appearance of Lizzie May Ulmer before a Macon public. Tbo play was liquid nnd beautiful, and beautifully acted. Miss Ulmer made many friends in Macon, and a large bouse will tercet her next annearance. DAWSON DOT*. Dawson, Ga., Sept. Ice Cream Festival given ladies last night, for tbe the City Park, was a decided cess. Thero wero not as tnaay in attendance as might have been reasonably expected, but wbat we lacked in numbers was more than made up in beauty, intelligence and generosity. In fao select and elegant party be found (as an old frien say) “’twixt blue sky gross.” There was plenty of ex cellent oake, Ice crOHm, lemonade and—and—something else, with an outlandish name, smell and taste, which I oonld neither spell, pronounce, eat nor drink. Bnt it was ever so nice, they said. The net proceeds of tho entertainment wero *36,55. A very beautiful cake, made by Mrs. S. S. Cobb, was voted to the prettiest young lady present. It bronght'$16,60, and was voted to Miss Olando Farror by a large majority, “amidst prolonged applause.” Mrs. D. O. Trammell and ehll- dreu have returned from a three week’s absence, ana our worthy marshal is no longer a forlorn widower. J. A. F. BLAINK SKIFFS DEFEAT. Hie Westons Trip tbe Lest Keserl ef Desperations Wasuinuton, September 8A.— Secretary Post, of the Democratic Congressional Committee, has re turned to boadquarters In this olty. He attended a conference of Demo cratic leaders in Now York yes terday. “ What do the Democratio managers in New York sty of tbe situation t" asked a reporter ol Mr. Post. They profess to be well satis fied,” he replied. “They speak with confidence of tbe onteome in New York, and they really feel confident. They regard tbo Blaine tour as an cvldenco of desperation. I saw men—Democrats, or conrse- who attended tbe Blaino meeting in New York, and they said that thero was not that hearty enthusi asm manifested whioh has marked the Republioan party in past fights. Tho faot that none of tbe prominent ataiwart leaders oalled on Mr. Blaino is commented npon in New York as very significant.” Mr. Post will not publish bis re sponse to Secretary McPherson's letter in regard to dolaloationi under Republican rule In tbe shape of a loiter, bnt will inelude it in a speech which ho intend* to deliver at an early day. -run outlook in oonmiotiout. Representative Mitchell, of Con necticut. said to a reporter to-day: “I feel quite euro that Cleveland will carry Conncotient. He will get a great many Republican votes. The Independent Republicans are well organized and are doing effec tive work. Their committee send out about es many documents as cither the Republican or Demo cratio committee, and they only send them to those who apply lor them. There are a great many Republicans who intend to vote for Cleveland, but they say noth ing about it. Tbcyaie quiet men. who go to the polls and vote with out making any fuss. I know ol a single block in New Haven in which fourteen Republican* reside. Twelve of them are against Blaine, and most of tbeq (perhaps the whole twelve) will vote lor Cleve land, but they don’t talk any. The Independent Republican* will vote for Cleveland, but they will sup port their party candidate for Governor, hence Cleveland will run ahead of ou- state - ticket, bnt I believe we will win on both tick ets.” “When Boiler first declared himself a candidate, I waa disoonr- aged,” continued Mr. Milehell, “bat I soon got over that.
