Being raised here and known and knowing everybody, his sudden death produced a great shock. Moj.

They were met at the depot by an escort of Mr.Grauhcrry’s old friends, who sadly took his body in charge. Tuosday afternoon he was buried in Oak Grove Cemetery. An Auspicious Opening tend l Week Exptcttd. Monday night witnessed the opening ot the Americas Light In fantry Fair in their elegant armory in the new Barlow block. All day Monday the armory presented a busy scene. The booths were beiog arranged and decorated, presents, donations, fancy work and all the numerous odds and cnd9 that go to make up a fair were being carried up and arranged. When the armory was opened in the evening for the reception of guests it looked ele gantly neat and delightfully in viting. A few moments after eight o’clock the company formed and the music began. Everything was now ready for the PRESENTATION OF THE FLAG by the Lady Honorary Members of the company, otherwise the Broom Brigade. Miss Alice Hay, one of the active members of the drill squad had been chosen to present the flag. A platform had been erected on one side of the hall, on which rested the flag. As tho fair speaker and her escorts, Mr. Jo. P. Davenport, Miss Leola Harrison and Mr. A. Bivins, Miss Annie Lon Bird and Mr. J. A. Davenport marched to the stage, the company presented arms. Mr. Davenport raised the flag and held it at a “present” to the company, and Miss Hay ad vanced and delivered the following address: * Kimball Urgaux.

J. B. Shaw. A Slight Error. Editor Recorder—My attcnliou has just^bcen called to your notice of Miller <t McCall’s new stock of marble, in which you eKftc that it is beiug worked up by atone masons. As 1 am tho only professional mar bio worker In their employment, permit me to Bay that I am not now, nor ever have been, a stone mason. I am a graduate of South Kensington School of Design, Lon- den, England, nnd have been for over twenty years n modeler, de signer and carver in New York, Baltimore and Si. Louis. Perhaps the matter may seem to be of slight importance; nevertheless,injustice to mysell, as well as to Miller k McCall, I respectfully ask you to give this correction the same pub licity which you gave to the origl nil mis-statement. Yours truly, W. Bain Miller. Americus, Nov. 22, ’84. Th« Ktcaion Why, J. W. Harper’s Kelson County Whiskey is preferred above all other Brands is because it is the most regular f »i»lVpo«t perfect Product, incontestably ; efer* made.. A long experience in ths A long experience in ths manpfrcttu^ of tho Harper, the large capital of the Distiller which enables him to hold his Whiskey until it U fully ma tured, together with the fact that the Whiskey li bought by and shipped me to direct from the Distillery accounts for the Tho idea of closing stores on Thanksgiving Day was well re ceived by our business men, as was shown by the large number who signed tho petition published in yesterday’s Recorder. By closing their stores, the business men show a full appreciation of the blessings they have received the past year. Mrs. B. Cox, of Xotrburn, Tcnn., Mrs. J. J. Clay and Miss Ionona Clay, of Macon, who have been spending a week or more with Mr. C. C. Clay, on the Uuegenin plan tation, will leave for home this week. They are enjoying the mili tary fair at present. Gentlemen of the Amerieut Light Infantry, Through the courteous partiality of the Lady Honorary Members of your com pany, to mo has been assigned the pleas ing duty of presenting yon, in this formal manner, this beautiful stand of colors. It is not the National emblem, the Star Spangled Banner, bnt yet may we not hope that long may it wave o’er the land of the free-and the home of the brave! Our worst enemies have never yet brought the charge against the “Sunny South” that it was not the home of the brave. May we not now, also, in the Tace of the recent National victory, claim .hat ours is the land of the free. it brings us fieedom from corrupt office holders, freedom from misrepresentation, freedom from political persecution, then indeed will it prove the land of the free. Wo, of the South, are just now the target towards which is aimed the venomous hato of the plumed knight of Maine, who has always shown the white feather in the face of danger, and the colors of cor* ruption in the time of temptation. Victories of peace are greater than vic tories of war; but if force should be neces sary to strengthen tho arm of Orover Cleveland in his efforts to purify the political waters of the nation, then, may we not hope in confidence that this In fantry Company would prove grown up men in the contest. I confide this flag to your keeping, be hoving that it bus fallen into willing hands. Mr. Hugh M. Brown was in tbo .. , citv over Sunday. He is now with I Whiskey. J.

As she finished, color] Sergeant] Aycock was ordered te the front by Oapt, Shaffer, lifted the flag and carried it back to tho company. In behalf of bis company Cept. Shaffer warm ly thenked tbe^ladies for their gen crous gift, and the^eubstantial in. terest they manifested in the com pany, and said he would guarantee tlmt the colors would never be dis graced. THE FLAG is a maguificcnt.onc, and is proba- bly as fine as any in the State. It was made by W. C. Lillcy k Co., of Columbus, Ohio. It is.of heavy blue anil gold silk with gold fringe ami massive cord and tassels. On one side is tho monogram ot tho company, and on tho other the State shield,'both surrounded with lettering showing the time of the organization of the company, and by whom it.was presented. A gold eagle, with outspreading wings, is mounted onjtho staff. THE FAIR PROFER. From present indications, and judged by the^number present on tbe opening night, tho fair promisee to be a success, socially and finan cially. Tbe military boys are very energetic, and guided by th$ir gal lant Captain they will make it en tertaining for visitors. The ladies, headed by Mcsdames Callaway, Reese, Smith, Burt, Branuan and others, to say nothing of the lovely youpg ladies, will do all in their power to have everything pass off smoothly. Every night dancing will be indulged in Irom ten to eleven o'clock. Now features will be introduced from day to day, aDd it is expected to close on Sat urday night with a grand auction.

We claim to-day, in less than twelve months of its existence, to do the largest cash business of any Dry Qoods House in Southwest Georgia, and we als'o claim tlmt we have opened an avenue for tbe Americus trading people to get good goods at less prices than they were ever offered betorc.
