GA. ‘‘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.

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 is essential to tho happiness and prosperity of the South as well as the North.

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. PLYMOUTH ROCKS foir.at CM n t ibcoi by c«Mm an or landing l arJcrt to me at Aanrtea^Ua. . •Pfllltf DAVID JAUila
