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. ANNOUNCEMENTS. MOM1BU COOXTT. FOB JUSTICE OF THE PEACE. We are authorized to ennounce the name of W. W.

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. Lee County Nominations.

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.

The enemy is routed, and GYLES, the Clothier and Hat ter now surveys the field of old shoddy stocks and high prices. Their banners of “good goods at low prices,” are all that re mains instead. Already are our citizens and country friends being daily directed, by our brother merchants, to GYLES’ CORNER as the only reliable place in Southwest Georgia for first-class garments. And thus the procession increases and the boys march to the soul-stir ring strains of the band as it discourses The fool I left behind me, Somewhere else to buy, Ever will remind me There’s one more fool to die.
