Coco:. Ja&Fricker&Bro. AMERICUS. GA. About September first we shall move into our new store, at the old stand, Barlow Block, Public Square, where we shall open the most elegant assortment of goods in our line ever brought 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 kept 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 tlian have ever been reached before MERRY MOULTRIE. Merry Moultrie, Sept. 28.—If over I do get bold of tbe typo wbo kindly set up my last week’s letter, or tbe proof reader wbo didn’t re vise it, I’ll—well, I’ll apologize. X must have so wntteo. or else they’d not have so printed. May tho Lord have mercy on their souls anu the publlo do likewise by my baud write. I have always argued that my wife possessed rare powers of man agement, but never did I see those powers so wonderfully demonstrat ed as I did last wcok. Everybody else was gathering corn, ao I de cided to gather my crop. After breaking it down, I thought of where I should liouso it. Discuss ing tbe subjeet in her presence, sho said: “I’ll tell you; the.-e’s « big basket heru, and ono a size less. Put your corn in the least one and you can use tho big one for a shuck pen and fodder house.” ’Twas then that the cold iion-y entered my soul. My broomsedge crop is huge, and I made enough black berries to feed every editor in Georgia through the b. b. season, Tin rad to part with an old bat I!literal), and frayed, by sun and dew, And much ratbetio tenderness Lingers around a ea.t-off shoe. Sail pony oiings around tbe shirt That ragged and torn floats in tbe breeze; But pen nor brush oan no’er dsplol The agony of a ohopped off sneeze. Mr. Brice, a merchant doing a largo credit busiress in Brooks Colquitt and lower Berrien, re ports the cotton orop in those parts of the country far too short for the farmers to meet their in debtedness from Its yield, lie predicts suflertng in conscqucnco. It is now generally agiced among tho farmers that unless uuusual economy is observed, tbo corn yield will not furnisli bread and stock feed until a new erop is made. Permit us to say, that the Re- cokdeii is a daisy. Two years ago, this week, I beliove, I began cor responding wilii and reading reg ularly the weekly edition. The paper has beea constantly improv ing ever since. There appears to be no dull season with It. Tbe managers, summer and winter alike, aro constantly adopting somo improvement in tbo get up of tho paper, and to day tho Recorder, though the subscription price re mains the same, is worth double wbst it was two years ago. W here will you stop! Cradle el multi- plienni. jErr Hancock. FROM HATCHER’S STATION. Hatcher's Station, Ga., Sept. 29.—Tbe weather is still dry snd exceedingly hot, henco very little if any abatement of sickness. Mr. Sol. Roberts lost his youngest child on Saturday last with whoop ing eougb and fever combined; Mr. and Mrs G. B. Gay have a very sick child with pneumonia, and fears are entertained of ita recovery. In some sections of tbo connty the doctors are kept quite busy, when not sick themselves. Cotton picking will very soon be over snd then comes the tur for and friends, whioh will doubtless give some of tbe young gents a genuine case of blues. B. D. Moore, of, the Southwest ern railroad, is stopping a few days with his parents and friends around Hatober. He seemed to be the centre of attraction among some of the young people at Sab bath 8cbool on yesterday. Mr. G. B. Gay has a little daughter very aiek with pneumonia and is under tho care of Drs. Do zier and Carter, who will do all that can bn done to restore tbe little sufferer. We hope their efforts may be crowned with speedy success. Polities aro getting on a boom so far as county oflloers are con cerned. No excitement in the state election beesuso there is no oppo sition to the nominees, but tor county officers, they are as thick as bees. Some want office beeanse they are old and decrepid, some want it because they are young and active, others because they are on hand and (eel entitled to them. I am gratified to see the notion of the people of Macon county in an effort to settlo the Senatorial trouble, and think the letter of Co). Murray a magnanimous pro duction, showing q patrlolio devo tion to the principles of Demoora- oy and tho general wclfaro of the socoess of sonnd principles. Quitman. THE ELECTION IN TERRELL. | Special to Bceonlor. * Dawson, O.t. 1.—Col. h. C. Hoyl is elected Senator, and O. B. Stevens Representative of Tertell eonnty, by about fonr hundred majority. Col. J. H. Guerry’e residence was destroyed by fire this after noon. Lou abont fifteen hundred dollars. Insured for sevon hun dred and fifty dollars. , J.A.P. MACON MELANGE. A Hint firom Belra Lockwood. Washington, D. 0., Sept. 29— Mrs. BcWn Lockwood, the candi date for President on tho Woman Sufirage ticket, has sent to Gover nor Cleveland a letter deploring the nee of eeandel as tho political weapon, and anggeeting tbo propri ety of a convocation of tho several Presidential candidates at Wheel ing to adopts “peaceable armistice that will strip the present canvass or the recurrence of sueh undigni fied proceedings and publications at would disgrace a heathen nation.” SILENT! Macon, Sept. 30—Horaee Chris topher, who attempted to commit suicide late Sunday afternoon, is still nlivo and will probably reoov- er—thanks to the stomaeh pump. Christopher is a nice young man from tbe North who moved hero a few years ago with his mother and beautiful sister. They bad plenty of money and he invested In the livery business and lost all in horse flesh. Financial depression is un- doubtely the otnso, and it is s very sad ease. Wesleyan Female College opens to-morrow with an unusually large attendance, and the seholars will resume their studies for tbo next ten months. Every year adds new laurels, strength and goodnoss to this old institution, and there are very few colleges that equal it in number of seholars in attendanee. Every dty for a week, an observer might have scon dray loads ol trunks passing, on ronto for the collego, and open rarr'ago windows betrayed the presence of young and dainty faces. Quiohand. 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 is limited. Come one, come all, and don’t fail to come early. JAS. FRICKER & BRO. Americus, Ga., Aug. 13,1884. Mr. Hendricks st Louisville. Louisville, Ky, September 30. —Though it has rained all tiav, extensive prepsrations wero made for tbe reception of Hon. Thomat A, Hendricks, wbo comes as the nest of tbe southern oxposllion. 'he city was full of visitors from neighboring states, and waa hand somely decorated for the occasion. Hendricks arrived in the afternoon from Indianapolis and was met by the exposition committee. A large crowd gathen d at the depot and listened to Bloom’s address of welcome. Headricks replied brief ly, thanking them for their kind idle freedmen to make their living, reception, snd was driven to tbe vet they are bound to have it from | I jOU ”* v tl|s hotel, fallowed by a • • ,, ., , . ,argo concourse of enthusiastic some source. Hogs, chickens and pe 0 h ple . J D tbo afternooh a reeep- eows may look out, as well as everything else edible within their reach. Our fsrmcrs arc resolving in this neighborhood to change their plan of farming. Newspaper artioles have proved ottcriy worth- css in producing the change, but sad experience, the very best of teachers coupled with necessity, have wrought the change; many farmers, nay most of them, arc driven to it from sheer necessity. I bear many apeak of planting only shoot eight to ten acres of cotton toeseh plow another year, and some less than that. Mr. 8. D. Hatcher has just re turned from a trip through the oonairy to Marlon county where he left his sister, Mbs Luis, to spend a few months with relative* tion woe held at tbe hotel Or Interest te Surgeons. Munch, Ind., Sept. 26—By tbe explosion of a gun, in April last, an iron breeeb pin an inch and a half long, and weighing 616 grains, was blown into tbe .brain of Emer son McColm of this city. Tills heavy piece of iron, several pieces of bone sad a piece of bis felt hat, were withdrawn from quite a dis tance in bis bead, and without tre- K nning tbe opening in tbe frontal ne, through which a half tea- spoonful of hie biams oozed, tbe wound baa healed and the patient dbmiseed. He experiences no in convenience sxeept from the hot raye of tbe enn, and ie as well as ever. The case is considered one of the best on record, and a por trait of McColm has just been com pleted for publication in tbo Medi cal Journal. I know my friends and cus tomers think that I am 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, comprisingDry Goods, Furnish ing Goods, Clothing, Shoes, Hats, and in fact everything pertnining 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 I will offer them at prices that will make you think that I have got them without buying them at all I will take pleasure in showing nnd pricing them. Come and examine whether yon 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.
