‘‘Where ignorance is bliss
it's folly to be wise.” 15ut why
live in ignorance nnd throw
your hard earned money away,
when you can save from ten
to fifty per cent, by buying
your Dry Goods, Clothing,
Shoes, Hats or Notions at the
Bargain Store, where you can
find as fine an assortment,
more of a variety, than in any
store here.
j The goods offered and sold
| so remarkably cheap are in
J every respect npw, fresh and
! stylish.
The reason why the Bar-
| gain Store can afford and sells
| such Bargains, is,
1st, They buy in large quan
tities.
2d, They have a resident
buyer in New York always on
the lookout for Bargains.
3d, They sell for the cash
only and make no bad debts,
hence they need not charge
their losses to their cash cus
tomers.
4th, “Last, but not least,”
They believe in quick sales and
small profits, wljicli in itself is
sufficient to command your
patronage.
Now don’t give this a pass
ing notice, call around, and re
member that fresh goods and
bargains arc arriving daily, and
you are sure to find something
that will suit you and your
pocket. Respectfully,
S. M. COHEN.

JAS. FRICKER & BRO.
wbicli was reported in tin 1 lode-
pendent otSept. 20th uUo., casting
serious reflections upon Columbus
warehousemen.
The'article referred towns based
upon rumors which eminated from
Columbus and found their way to
our town, but greatly exaggerated.
As stated to us by Mr. 0. R.
Brown and Mr. J. A. Walker, of
Columbus, they had heard rumors
on the streets' of Columbus sub
stanlially the same ns reported in
the Independent, about tho lime
they wero brought to Lumpkin.
As far as wu could trace the matter
to its ultimate residium. it seems
to have had its origin in the fol
lowing circumstances.
It appears • that a Mr. Askew,
a blind man, formerly of Marion
county, sold two bales of cotton to
a street euyer about a year ago
nnd had them carried to Hatcher’s
warehouse. The buyer found one
one bale mixed packed, nnd re
fused to pay for it unless a reduc
tion of one cent per pound was
inado upon that bale. The seller
would not accede to the re
duction. claimed that it was a
straight lisle of cotton, was also
dissatisfied with his weights, and
demanded his cotton back on bis
wagon. Hu was told that lie could
get bis cotton upon surrendering
the receipt and paying warehouse
charges, which arc lilty cents per
bale for storage nnd twenty-live
cents per bale for delivery. That
is the customary rate at all ware
houses. This incensed the seller
very much, but be finally paid the
charges, took his cotton and went
away. A fow weeks ago lie was
speaking to Mr. John Shepherd
about the matter and remarked
that he saved money by taking his
cotton to another warehouse.
Nothing was said to Mr. Shepherd
about the cotton having lost in
weight. Ho sold bis cotton the
second time at the samo price, nnd
tho mixed bale passed through tho
examination undetected, which
saved him f 5, less the f 1.60 he paid
the first warehouseman, n net gain
of $3 50. Another unaulhcnticnlcd
rumor has it that he said one bale
lost lo pounds, and after it bad
been ground In the street gossip
mills l'or a week, it had grown to
the enormous amount of 76 pounds,
and thus it reached our town.
It is quite possible for a careful
weigher, crowded with business,
occasionally to muko a mistake of
100 pounds, but very difllcult to
make a mistake of 26, 50, or 76
pounds. And it seems to us that
no unbiased-thinking, reasonable
man would for n moment suppose
that any wnrelious man would risk
his reputation nnd jeopardise his
business by trying to swindle a
farmer out of 7a pounds on one
bale of cotton. It would bo too
much liko killing the goose that
laid the golden egg. We simply
state what we gathered while in
Columbus, and hope all parties
concerned are satisfied.
every Democrat contributes his
mite, the Stnte of Geoagia will
raise a respectable fund for Cleve
land and reform. By this means
substantial aid will lie given to the
cause of honest government, which

New York, Oct. 4.—Information
was rccived at the Custom House
8'ome days ago, that Graves and
bis wife, who bad made extensive
purchases of diamonds and other
precious stones in Europe, woulJ
he passengers on board tho Nation
al Line steamer America, from
Liverpool. When the vessel arrived
yesterday, Graves was conducted
into a private room, anil Ids w.fc
was escorted by two lady inspect
ors into another. On the person
of Graves were found a single dia
mond, a diamond scarf pin, a dia
mond shirt sl.ud, a diamond ring
and a large package of loose dia
monds and precious stones tied up
in a handkerchief. Mrs. Graves
was divested of two diamonds set
in a iacc pin and an amethyst and
pearl brooch. Inside a cake ot
soap in Graves' dressing case was
another package of diamonds.
Both wore Drought before United
States Commissioner Shields, char-
I gei) with smuggling from n foreign
port, and held in $5,000 bail ioi
examination.
The Walton News publishes this
simple method of exterminating
rats. It surpasses in its simplicity
nnd ingenuity all the rat extermin
ators of which wo have ever read.
The News says: Farmers can kill
all the rats about their barns by
placing a wash pot half full of
water with a few cotton seed
sprinkled on top. The ratt can’l
gilt out after they got in.”
U. A. Rogers, of Boston, made a
perilous balloon ascenBion from
North Adams, Moss,, Saturday.
Tho balloon was carried south over
Grcylock Mountain, and reached a
height of 10,000 feet Mr. Rogers
was so aflcctcd by cold that be
could hardly use his arms or bands
when over Grcylock Mountain.
Tim balloon rapidly descended and
was in imminent danger of dashing
against the rocks on the top of the
mountain. Rogers managed to
throw out ballast and ascend again.
The balloon landed safely in WU-
liamstown.
The Covington, Ga., Star eon-
tains tho following which wo repro
duce for what it is worth: “A re
port was in circulation a few daya
ago tlmt a child was recently born
in Henry county, which bad a full
set of grown teeth. The child lived
only three days, and spoke only
throo words, which were: ‘Three
dry yesrs.' Tho opinion seems to
have been tlmt the propheey of the
child will lie fulfilled. The Star
does not vouob for the truth of the
report.”
The Post-OBIce Department.
Wahiiinmton, Ootober 4.—A lit
tle after 4 o’clock this afternoon
Mr. Pruden, tho President’s private
secretary, called on Hon. Frank
Hatton, first assistant postmaster-
general, and informed him he had
been designated by the President
lo act as postmaster-general for
ten days from date. Mr. Hatton
will continue to act as postmaster-
general until further advised.
