Chicken Thieves.

whenever there is any especial at*

Wheeler’s chickens have been used
very freely to pay the damages.
On circus day tbe chicken crop
dropped fifteen or twenty points,
and a few weeks after, while
heavy revival among the darkies
was in full swing, tbe crop went
down a dozen or more. Out of

’York is still Counting, bat 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
tbe prospeets. I have been trying
my best to see Mr. Cleveland, but
be is not expected here, and my
lime here is too precious to go to
Albany, hence I will delay to see
bim until tbe 4th of March, when
be will be inaugurated as President
of the United States in Washing
ton.
During all this jubilee I have not
forgotten business. I have taken
advantage ol the “state of affairs”
and have bought one of the finest
and best assorted stocks, suitable
for the cold weather and coming
holidays, that was ever brought to
Americus. The goods are being
shipped as soon as possible. Ladies,
bo on the watch. Delay your trad
log until this regular Democratic
Boom Stock arrives. It is impos.
sible to enumerate what I bought,
but enough is, that you will be sur
prised at the taste I have displayed
in the selection of them, and at the
prices they will be offered at.
