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 There is much sickness hero, j mostly remittent fever. Green Lawson died Sept. 25th, after a short illness; aged about 70 years. He was a man universally esteemed, and friends in five coun ties mourn bis loss. This is our time to sell lands here, nnd prices arc higher than last year. How long land will be be sold here for $.100 per aero whereupon a man can make a good living, is a problem. Merry Mcultrie has left us and we arc sad, but friends here send after him their best wishes for his success and good health. We re gret our loss, but hope his lot may fall among friends nnd in pleasant places. Collecting debts is in fashion bore now. Alpha, DAWSON DOTS. Dawson, October 11 Misses Birdie and Daisey McNulty “as tonished the natives” this morning about 6 o’clock by enntoring up and down the street on their fine steeds. It is indeed u charming speetaelo to sec beautiful young ladies swaying gracefully in their saddles upon the backs ol spirited horses, especially just as one is getting out of bed. Misses Snllie Ellis, Jennie Hnuok and Ada Tnwnton, of Cuthbert, came up yesterday to attond the Primative Baptist Association, at Massndonia, in thin county, to-day and to-morrow. Miss Eliis is a sister of Mr. B. Whit Ellis, of Cuth bert; resided a number of years in Terrell, nnd her old friends will bo delighted to sec her. She will probably remaiu two or three weeks. Our presiding elder, Rev. Georgo G. N. MacDonald, arrived yester day, and preached a line sermon last night and another this morn ing at 11 o'clock. The Stewards will bold their meeting at 3 o’clock this afternoon. J. A. F. Every onco and a while the city of New York 1ms a reminder of the Tweed ring rule. A decision was rendered by the Court or Ap peal of Now York, on Wednesday giving a judgment against the city for $1,500,000, The suit in which this decision was rendered was Type* of mu Exliuet Specie* Brought to Philadelphia. When Cain and Abel were little boys, playing morrily about their mother's knee, and Adam was busy cataloguing tbo animal king dom and giving them appropriate names, says Ihc Philadelphia I Record, mammoths were ns com mon as cows now a days. But for some reasons the species became extinct several thousand years ago, and like its contemporaries, the mastodon, the mcgalnsaurus, the ichthyosaurus, the pterodactyl, the plesiosa urus and the dodo has never been seen or beard of since, except when its bones have been dug up and put on exhibition in some museum of natural history wealthy enough to pay for so valu able a prize. What, then, was the surprise and delight of tho scientific world when it was recently announced thut two live mammoths had been captured in the interior of one of tbo islands of tbo Malay Archipelago, and that the marvelous beasts were on their way to New York. Their arrival, about a fortnight ago, was greeted witli great joy, and tbo students of natural bistory who wero posted on the history of pre-historic bones nt once proceed ed to feel the skulls, ribs and knee caps ot the visitors to see if thoso features agreed with the same prominent architectural peculiari ties of their long since extinct an cestors. The result was in ail respects satisfactory, and tbo modern mam moths were given certificates of character that proved them to be members of a family whose disap pearance bad been wailed for many centuries. Tbon it was that Philadelphia showmen secured for exhibition in this city the pocket editions of a species that at one time grew to a sizo compared to whluh jumbo is a mere doll. Tho two strange ani rals aro ns yet very small, Pbun ga, tbo largest, being but four feet high, and Qucdah, the smaller of tho pair, only measuring thirty inches, .but they are confidently expected to grow until they reach the height attained by their Ances tors before the flood. At a flrst glance they look like diminutive ciepbunts, but they aro covered witli a heavy growth of coarse hair, which varies in length from five to eight inches, and the roots of which arc lost in a thick, woolly undergrowth. Their mild and gentle eyes are of n bluish shade. The most astonishing feature of the strango beasts is their surpris ing sagacity, and, although they have only been trained lor a fow weeks, they show an ability to learn tricks that causes wonder nmong the men who have been for years accustomed to training ani mals and who have had charge of their education, A piivate exhibition of the mammoths was given upon the stage of tho dime museum yester day morning, and showed that tho arrivals were possessed of really extraordinary acuteness. Phunga, the larger of the pair, walked a tightrope, rode on a velocipede as though ho understood the princi ples or tbo machine perfectly, and flayed upon a mouth organ, blow- ng and drawing the air into the In 1871 Tweed awarded a contract to JoBe dc Navarro for 10,000 water metres at $70 each. The metres were furnished, but never used. When tho Tweed ring was broken up it was thought that this contract was one of Tweed’s mon ey-making schemes, and payment was refused. The original bill was $700,000. The interest makes the judgment more than double that amount. Silver Discovered in Georgia.

FRICKER & BRO. Americus, Ga,, Aug. 13, 1884. THE POLITICAL FIELD. A Very Close Contest Anticipated In Onto. Washington, Oot. 10.—George W. Adams, one of the proprietors of the Washington Evening Star, who is watching the campaign in Ohio, telegraphs the Star to-night from Columbus as follows; Taking the average of all sonrees of infor mation received here, there is no reason to change tbo current of opinion in the East that the result in Ohio on Tuesday noxt, as it looks to-day, is one of very great doubt. There has been a marked change, the leaders of both parties agree, within a week in favor of the Democrats. General Logan has expressed bis fears as to tbc situation, nnd both bo and Mr. Blaine have confirmed them by their return to the State. The two State committees this morning decline to give any figures, though the Republicans claim from 8 to 10,000 majority, while tho Demo crats say with the greatest confi dence that they have the State by a fair majority. They are placing tbeir greatest dependence on Ham ilton county. If Cincinnati and that county do not give over 4,000 majority, tno State is possibly lost *,o tho Democrats, but tlioir esti mate is placed as low as 3,500, and on that basis they claim tbo State by several thousand. Tho Ohio State Journal, the organ of the Republican party, has the follow ing note of alarm this morning: “Republicans have no longer a reason to conceal the great danger that lies in over-confidence, pro ducing a light vote and an iiidiapu : table danger, consequent on the most thorough preparation and systematic arrangements by the Democratic managers both within and from without the State.” The Evening Star to-night says: “There is considerable uneasiness concerning the result In Ohio manifested throughout tho depart ments. All tho talk is that the situation is critical, with the eban- ccs that tho Democrats will elect their candidate for secretary of State and Supreme Court judge. This opinion is expressed by poli ticians about the hotels and politi cal headquarters, und inquiries aro being made on every hand. “Colonel Halloway, editor of the Indianapolis Times, who went on Blaine's bond in his libol suit against the Sentinel, wroto friends in this city yesterday that be eould not see las way clear at this time, and feared that Blaine would not seettro tho electoral voto of Indi ana. “A letter was received to-day at the Democratic headquarters from Mr. Jerome Eddy, chairman of the Democratic State central commit tee of Michigan, which says tho Democrats are thoroughly united and enthusiastio in their conduct of the campaign, and that they will hold their six Congressional districts in that State which they now have, and will probably gain two Congressmen in the noxt dele gation.” without hesitation or bungling. Logan as a Confederate. Hinton, W. Va., Oct. 10.—Con- sidernDle sensation was created here by John A. Logan, the Re publican candidate for vice-presi dent, insulting a man named West. West walked up to Logan and siad:“I am glad sir, to shake hands with n man who raised a confederate regiment in Illinois during the war.” “You are a liar, sir,” and taking a chew of tobacco out of bis mouth tdrew it into West’s face. Knew the Old Saw. lk>*tou Tost He was a tramp, and wbon be bad carefully scanned the back yard for the expected wood pile and found none, be quietly slid around, and knocking at the front door, began his story of misfortune and inability to get work. “Yes,” said the farmer, who was of a classic turn, “but labor conquers all things; you remember the old saw, don’t you f” “Yes, indeed I do,” said the wayfarer, as tears sturted to bis eyes;” and the remem brance is indeed painful, but as I came along I didn’t see any bang ing up on the back of the bouse I thought I would ask lor something to eat. Yes, I remember the old saw, and tbu wood pile, too, but have no use for them; good day.” Aud he vanished into the where- ncss of the wbitber. A Bold Bobber]'. Johnstown, Pa., October 10.— Five masked men, flourishing re volvers, battered down tbc door of tbc bouse of a farmer named Gates, In White township, early yesterday morning.and compelled Mr. Gates, at tbc muzzles of tbeir pistols, to give them over $1,100, which be had secieted. Tbc robbers then hastily departed, firing tbeir revol- vers as they emerged from the house. A party of well-diggers wero sinking a well near Swan Lake, Jefferson county, Ark., and when about 40 fectdistanco struck a bed of shells. Among tbc number brought to the surface was a petri fied mollusk, having the embryo features of a human being distinct ly impressed upon it—mouth, nose and ears, all perfeotly discernible and located near the valvular point.
