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 crop of between fifty and a hun dred there were sixteen hens, one old and one young rooster left Thursday, but Friday morning tbe young rooster and ten female com panions had gone to parts un known. *a- Aycoclt It Byrd.

It is the only conven ient oat to tbe planter, at ho it idle at tbe above season of the year. They make more per acre than any other ost you can plant, as I have three thousand bushels for sale made this year, a very dry season. ~ advise all to send in their orders early, and secure sn oat that will not be killed by the cold weather, as they are a sure crop and planted too late for the cold weather to hurt.

Nxw York, Nov. 14,1884.—New ’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.
