About September first we shall move into our new store, at the old stand, Barlow Block, Public Square, where wo 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 | (HUM) JUKF PRESEYTJIfLVTH Webster County, Wc, the grand jurors sworn and j acting this October term Webster j Superior court, 1884, submit the i following as our gcnetal present- I ments: i Through committees appointed | by our body, together-with tho aid . of our cfllcient finance committee, I wc find as follows— j We Hud the court house in good j condition with the exception of the I following: The steps on the east i side arc down, and are in need of new ones.

The Stage Driver’s Joke. Hanford Time* Old Uncle Ben, the veteran stago driver, was an inveterate Joker, and was fond of practicing his art upon Ids passengers who shared the driver’s box with him. One day Ids horses were toiling along a lonely country road, and just nt night they passed a solitary farm bouse and a mile distant from any other and bearing an appearance of n lack of thrift. “There,” said Uncle Ben, pointing with his whip, "there's a woman been lying in that house for morc'n n fortnight, and she isn’t buried yet.” “Dread ful,” said a passenger; "tho authori ties ought to attend to it. Hasn’t she any friends, and why don’t they bury her?” “Got friends enough, but she ain’t dead; she’s lively as a cricket.” Lumpkin Independent Only eight cases have been re turned to the October term of Stewart Superior Court.

Beecher Intimate* That He It Rtl One, Whatever; Mr. JeyNlayB*. This letter is addressed to tbe Republican candidate for Governor of Michigan: Gen. R. A. Alger, Detroit, Mich.: Dear Sir—1 have just read your letter of Oct. 9, exhorting me “publicly to retract your (my) statements, as yon have iu your zeal for the Democratic party, and the Democratic nominee, spread them before the whole country.” When the heat of this canvass has passed, you will think that such language borders too near upon insult to be either just or wise. I beg you to understand that I have nothing to do with the truth, or otherwise, of Mr. Joy’s statements to me, respecting Mr. Blaine. The only question is: Did Mr, Joy make those statements T The tran sactions between him and Mr. Blaine, through an intermediary, may all be mythical; or the inter mediary might have been an im postor; or Mr. Blaine’s feelings may never have been hurt by any such requests; and Mr. Jov may never have been shocked at Blaine’s imputed answer; and Mr. Joy’s artless feelings being practieed upon, by this intermediary, he may have expressed himself too severely about Mr. Blaine. Let Mr. Joy and Mr. Blaine settle that between themselves. I have nothing to do with all that. Did Mr. Joy make the remarks in my presence which I have published t If he did not, I have lied. If he did, Joy has lied. There is no Idle ground. There shall be none. Either I heard it or invented it. Mr. Joy’s second telegram to you makes a languid and ioolish denial, which I attribute to his not having seen or understood my statement. But if Mr. Joy has seen my statement aod denied it, or when bo landB in New York be shall declare that no such conver sation was held in my presence, then I have only to say that, whereas I did not Imagine that there could bo moro than one con tinental liar, I am compelled to think there aro two. I'lcaso accept this letter as the only retraction and apology that I am prepared to make to you, to Mr. Joy, to Mr. Blaine, and to the > Republican party. Henry Ward BcientR. TES, M? SOM'S, Just as soon as we can pick, gin and sell our cotton we will call upon Tho Clothier Gylos at bis New Cornor in Americus and purohase our outfits for tho season. By tho way, what a revolution Gyles has caused in the clothing business, where for years previous to his opening we never saw a first- class garment in town, although we paid prices all the samo that ought to have bought tbe best goods in the land. But it remained for Frank Gyles to step to the front, knock tho bottom out, and sell the finest and only perfect fit ting clothing at figures less than we used to pay for common ones. And our peoplo appreciate his vim and enterprise, for their gratitude is shown by the daily increasing throng that occupies his store. In wild despair, unable to compete [n prices and styles, other merchants try to come in at tbo twelfth hour and mako a sickly attempt to divert tho grand rush by UluBive adver tisements of auction goods from broken concerns. But the people wont hear any such nonsense. They don’t stop long enough to even take a passing glance at these old, worn-out advertisements, as thoy arc perfectly posted that auction clothing, etc , means generally bun dles of mixed-up Bizes and obsolete remnants that none who wish to appear even respectable will wear. The procession will now move direct to Gyles tbe Clothier. Three cheers for Gyles tbe Clothier ! Hurrah for Gyles the I Hatter !! A tiger for Gyles tbe [ Shirter and Socker 111 It Satisfied Her I*a.
