A New Book.
The Triple £. by Mrs. S. R.
Graham Clark, Boston: D. Lothrop
& Co. Price $1.60. Mrs. Clark
is known as tbe author, of Yensie
Walton, one of the most popular
Sunday Sohool books which has
been published for many seasons
and the qualities which attracted
attention in that work predominate
strongly in this. Tho ‘‘Triple B' 1
is the name playfully given by her
friends to a girl of eighteen, whose
three names begun with that letter,
and who is left with a younger
sister to make her way in the world
after the death of ‘ her parents.
She promised her mother on
her death bed to not only csre
for her sister, but also lor an
insane uncle, and a little girl waif
who came into their family in the
most mysterious manner. Much
of tbe interest of the story centres
in this latter character, and the
mystery in which her parentage is
involved lends it a strong fascina
tion. Tho two slaters are com
pelled to enter a large manufactory
in order to gain a subsistence end
earn means for supporting their
charge* The record of their ex
periences in this new life, their
trials, and the victory over adver
sity they Anally achieved, is told
in a manner which commands at.
tentioh from first to last. It is a
book which cannot fail to make a
strong impression upon the minds
of those who read it.

A Bloodless Duel.
One night this week, so the story
reaches us, two young men- had a
very serious quarrel. What was
tbe cause of tho trouble was nat
whispered, but the conjecture is
that a society belie was at the bot
tom of it. Two prqnd to sully
their flats with each other’s blood
in an ungraceful and awkward en
counter, tbe young men selected
their seconds and appointed an
early hour of tho following morn
ing as the time at which blood
must flow. The morning dawned
bright and clear, but with it came
no seconds, and the combatants
were left to find the rendezvous
alone and in despair.' The place
had hardly been reached, though,
before a blue coated “peeler” put
in an appearance and put an end
to the tragic affair. “They never
speak as they pass by,” though.

THE LATEST NEWS.
N*w York, Not. 14, 1884 New
York is still counting, but it will
make no difference; Cleveland
comes in beyond a doubt, and Jim
my Blaine will have to write more
books, for a living. Business is at
a stand still, everybody jubilant of
the prospects. I have been trying
my best to see Mr. Cleveland, but
he is not expected here, and my
time here is too precious to go to
Albany, hence I will delay to see
him until tbe 4th of March, when
he will be inaugurated as President
of the United States in Washing
ton.
During all this jnbilee I have not
forgotten business. I have taken
advantage of the “state of affairs”
and have bought one of the flnest
and best assorted stocks, suitable
for tbe cold weather and coming
holidays, that was ever brought to
Americus. Tbe goods are being
shipped as soon as possible. Ladies,
be on the watch. Delay your trad
ing until this regular Democratic
Boom Stock arrives. It is impos
aible to enumerate what I bought,
but enough is, that you wilt be sur.
prised at the taste I have displayed
iti the selection of them, and at the
prices they will be offered at.

Their banners of “good goods

our citizens and country friends

the procession increases and
