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 than have ever been reached before GEORGIA NEWS. Flint river is lower than it lias been in several years—since 1855. The city fathers of Dawson have abandoned tho arteainn well pro tect. Dalton Ims thus far received only 170 bales against nbont 700 for the corresponding period last year. Barncsvillu is considerably an noved by mosquitoes. They are said to be worse this year than over before. Diphtheria lias mailo its appear ance in Albany. It is said that 65 per cent, of the victims of this disease die. Kev. Thornton Burke is the old est citizen of Burko county. Ho lacks but two months of boing ninety years old. Sir. V. A. Clegg, ol Albany, lias generously given to tho officers of the Presbyterian church of that city, lumber sufficient to enclose their lot and repair the building. It was sawed at his mills in Lee county, and delivered free of eliargo by his own wagons. Sir. Clegg is a benefactor. Somo time ago a child of Mr. Frank Hart, of Madison county, was playing with a dog, and, see ing the dog lick out its tongue, the child did the same, when the dog snapped it, biting a hole through its tongue, but it has healed up and nothing has been developed to prove it more than an ordinary wound. DA IVHON DOTS. Dawson, Get. 10 Mary Louise, infant and only child of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Loylcss, died about 10 o’clock Wednesday night, and was interred at the city cemetery yes terday afternoon at four o’clook. She was a very pretty and lovely little girl, and our whole city sym. pathize with the bereaved parents. Colonel Henderson has return-id from Irwin county court, bat I haven't lmd an opportunity of in terviewing him and ascertaining how many cases he gained or how many laurels he won. Miss Belle Brown, ol Talbotton, is visiting our city, the guest of Mrs. W. U, Melton. Mr. Ed. McDonald and lady, of Cutbbcrt, visited our city this week. Tho thermometer hn9 reached 99 degrees several times this week. I don’t want it any hotter, but would like to have one more degree to boast of. We have a set of very intelligent handsome and gallant yoang men in our oity, and it seems that the young ladies lor several counties around found it out before I thought to mention it. That ac counts for so many young ladies visiting our city every month in tho year. Dr. J. R. Kidd and daughter, of Stewart county, arc on a visit to friends and relatives in our county, J. A. F. 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. The grand jury of Wilcox coun ty in their presentments state that no judgments have over been re corded in the county ns required by law; nor has any flic been kept of the newspaper in which the county advertising is done. The tax col lector has given no bond, and no such bond has ever been given in the county. There was a judgment against Glynn county for $45,000 on ac count of tho embezzlement of an oflicial who held office many years ago. That judgment has just been compromised, the county paying $40,000 in thirty-year bonds, to bear 7 por cent, interest, to be paid annually. The annual incomo ot the county Is about $9,000; expen ses about $5,000. It is a significant fact that the Eastbrn colleges which favor scien tific education instead of classical have received the greatest gain in tho number os pupils. The in stitute of Technology and Cornell University are particular illustra tions of this tendency, the former reporting 100 more students than last pear, and of the latter being larger than that at Vale, and ac cording to reports about equal to that at Harvard. According to the Calhoun Times Mrs. J. W. Davis, of llesaca, had a singular experience the other day. Last Thursday she expected sever al preachers to dinner, but after searching the town she could only find one chicken. She was busy in the kitchen preparing the little chicken when she heard a terrible fluttering, and on looking observed that a covey of partridges bad flown into the dining room. The doors and windows wore quickly closed and six of the birds were captured. These, with the chickens made an elegant dinner, and all the preachers were invitqtl in to eat the birds. Some of the good people of the village look upon the occurrence as providential, and It may be that the All-Wise lmd a hand in directing the flight of the birds. A CARD.

This great remedy was discovered hy a missionary in South America. Sand a self-addressed envelops to tha Rev. Joiete T. Injun, Station D, Nno Took CWy Ho was a tall man, with rather sandy and long hair and nn iron- gray chin whisker. Ho woro a sack suit of steel-mixed and a yellowish brown slouch hat. There was a red buttonhole bouquet in his coat iappcl. His stand-up collar was surrounded by a black tie. An ordinary overy-day watch chain bung from tho second button hole of his vest. As he walked up from the Western Union main office, Buflalo, N. Y., ho jogged along carelessly, looked neither to the right nor left, but seemed en gaged in a sort of communion with himself. The man was Mr. Oliver Dalrymple, tho most exton- sire farmer in the United States. Mr. Dalrymple although he lives at St. Paul, Minnesota, confines his farming operations to Dekota, whore in Cass and Trail counties he has a two thirds inter est in 75,000 acres of as flno wheat land as the sun ever shone upon. Tho product, as indicated by that so far threshed, will bo about 600,- 000 bushels ti ls year. Mr. Dal rymple employs in Ills farming op erations 1,000 men, 800 horses and mules, 200 self binding reapers and 30 steam threshers. "I havo lived in St, Paul thirty years,” said Mr. Dalrymple, “and seen it grow from 10,000 to 100,000.” When asked relative to his ago he said: “You may tell them that 1 have not yet got to the gray-haired, broad- shouldered man of sin. My visit here is for tho purpose of seeing if I can mako favorablo arrangements with Buflalo elevator men for the storage of a part of my this year’s crop.” Iicyoml Ills Jurisdiction. Albany Now*. Magistrate Arch Greer is a great lover of flno horse flesh, and keeps a good roadster—one that could keep up with about the best nags in town until Mr. Will Hooks came along with that high-stepping bay of his. While the magistrate and ex mayor were sitting in front of Ins store with a crowd of loafers yes- terday Hook’s horse was driven past them. “Look at ’im!” exclaimed Arch, pointing toward the flying steed. “Ain’t he pretty? I’d give Hooks three hundred and fifty dollars for him so quick it would make bis bead swiml" “Well, can’t you get him for that?” asked a bystander. “No,sir,” replied the magistrate, assuming an official air, “it three hundred and fifty dollars would buy him, he'd lie mine before night; but Hooks holds him at flvo hun dred, and that’ajusta little beyond myjurisdictlon.” Republican U. 8. Marshals. Bt. Lonis Republican. The House committee’s report on U. S. marshals shows that, un* der Republican rule, these officials havo become it queer lot of fellows. Liko ail other public officers, they aro “on tho make.” Tito committee say: “They tax ed their ingenuity to the utmost to And modes for accomplishing ono unhallowed purpose of getting money they were not entitled to. They charged for arrests not made, for travel not performed, tor ex- ensesnot incurred, and for guards not employed. They knowingly tendered faiso accounts against tho government, misappropiated public funde and became defaulters to the government and the courts.” The committee say that the prac tice of arresting citizens npon false charges has grown so common that an order was issued forbid ding arrests for violations of the internal revenue law without an affidavit from an internal revenue officer; but tho marshals got round this by securing their own appoint ment as rovenuo offleors, so that they could make the affidavit re quired and continue the work of arresting citizens tor the purpose of securing fees for tho discredita ble businoss. The committee mcntloq the caso of Marshal S. H. Russell of the Western District of Texas, who “so managed the affairs of bis office that in about three years $40,- 000 government bonds passed through bis bands in such a mys terious manner that It could not bo accounted for, besides amounts illegally takon from his deputies.” The committee say of Marshall John Hall of Pensylrania: “He ac tually returned as earned during nine years, $33,303, when, in faot he bad really earned $181,961.” Surely, with these facta reported by a committee of congress, it is high time a change were made at Washington. Frost and fee in Dakota. Yankton, Dakota, Oct. 8.—A heavy frost fell here last night and ice formed in the pools. Corn ia out of danger and vegetables are homed. NEW YORK’S DEMONSTRATION. Thr«« Great Maes Masting* Held— Enormous Crowds* # New York, October 9.—There were large demooratio ratification meetings at the Academy of Mnaio, Irving Hall and Union Square to night. Congressman Abram S. He witt presided in the Academy. Ho said that tho essential difference between tho republican and demo cratic parties is that tho lormer assumes that the people are not . able to govern themselves and the democrats maintain opposite. “When wo get into power,”said Mr. -Hewitt, “w^ shall not oppress honest industry. The tarifl ia not an issue of this campaign. The issuers to turn the rascals ont.” [Cheers.] Both buildings were packed, and it is estimated that be tween 75,000 and 100,000 people congregated about the square. There weto platforms at each cor ner of tbo park, named respective ly alter McClellan, Seymour, Tilden and Hancock. Ward clubs, many ot them in uniform, and bearing torches, marobed from all parts of tho oity to this rendezvous. Among thu vice-presidents whose names were read at tbo Academy were James Goidon Bennett, Roswell I*. Flower, Mayor Edson, F. W. Dovoo and Oswald Ottendorfer. Among tbo many speakers at the various places were Congressman W. W- Eaton, Benjamin A. Willis, Wurz Dundas, of Philadelphia; General Franz Sigel, ex-Govcrnor Walker, of Virginia; and John H. Fay, of Philadelphia. Th. It.u.i Why, I. W. Harper's Nelson County Whiskey it preferred above all other Brenda is becauso it is th* most regular and most perfect Product, incontestably ever made. A long experience to the manufacture of the Harper, the large capital of the Distiller which enablea him to hold bis Whisker until it bss fully ma- tnrod, together with the feet that tha Whiskey is bought by and shipped me to diroct from the Distillery accounts for tho unvarying satisfaction it baa given those best educated to a Ins Whiskey.
