BUSTED AT LAST.
Since beginning the Bargain
Store, many rumors and guesses
how long it will last have made
their rounds, but not until my re.
cent visit to buy my second fall
■took have the above utterances
been used by competitors.
But we are far from being bust
ed. The Bargain Store today
stands on solid footing, and the
purchase of the second stock ought
to, and tells tho tales with quite a
different result.
We claim to-day, in less than
twelve months of its existence, to
do the largest cash business of any
Dry Goods House in Southwest
Georgia, and wo also claim that we
have opened an avenue for the
Americua trading people to ‘get
good-goods at less prices than they
were ever offered before. No mat
ter, busted or not busted, we will
continue to sell you goods at bust
ed prices, and we wish to call your
attention that the goods recently
purchased on my last trip arc- com
ing in, and will surpass anything
in price and quality ever oilered
before. Come early and get the
Drat selection.
f will call the especial attention
of the ladies to my large and as
sorted stock of Cloaks and Dol
mans, which I offer, owing to the
scarcity of money, nt half their
value.
Owing to the scarcity of room
and the meagre facilities for show
ing the goods, we will offer especial
bargains in Ladies and Misses
trimmed and untrimmed hats. Also
feathers, flowers and millinery trim
mings of all descriptions. It is
useless and impossible to mention
the different specialties and bar
gain* which we offer. We continue
to receive good* of *11 descriptions
and we will make it to your inter
est to call and examine and price
our goods before purchasing else-
wherere. Respectfully,

Dawson, Nov. 27.—Mr. David
Bigelow, aged about sixty }’ears,
died of consumption at bis resi
dence two miles south of our city
on Tuesday last, tbu 25th inst, at
one o’clock, p. m. Ho was a con
sistent member of the Baptist
Ohurcb, a devoted huaband, a kind
father, a useful citizen and a good
man. He leaves a large family who
have the sympathy of our entire
community. He was buried at
Sardis Cburcb, Ibis county, at 3
o’clock yesterday afternoon, Rev.
B. VV. Davis performing the Solemn
rite.
City politics are being fanned
into a blaze in our town. Mayor
W. B. Cheatham is a candidate for
re-election, and the opposition have
induced our popular youog mer
chant, J. D. Laing, to become a
candidate, and the town is spotted
with their respective notices. They
are' both worthy at tbo position,
and I would like to vote for both,
but as I can’t do that, guess I will
swap off with myself and not vote
at all. Col. J. L. Janes, present
city clerk, has an opponent in tho
person of our worthy book mer
chant, Mr. C. L. Mize. The inde
fatigable, indispensable Fred W.
Clarke is candidate for city tress-
urer, and will probably have a walk
over.
Yesterday one of Messrs. Stevens
k Thornton's fine horses was left
near the depot, hitched to a dray.
He started home alone, becamo
frightened, ran away, tore down
several pannels of Judge Orr’s
fence, ran through the gate into
Capt. Fulton’s cotton yard, and
Into hi* stable. The dray refused
to go any further and stopped the
horse. The dray was badly torn
up and tbo horse considerably in
jured. All tho result of careless
ness of the driver.
Mr. Frank Hester and family, of
Stewart county, spent a day and
night in our city this week, and left
yesterday for Atlanta, whoro he
will make his future home.
TbiB is Thanksgiving Day and
has been observed by the majority
of our people—some by going to
the Cburcb and bearing Mr. Twitty
preaob ono of bis fine sermons, and
other* by attending a rat show,
which was deoidedly good; also
tumbling and balancing show of a
man who had been “left by tbe
circus.” Also a “wheel of fortune”
(or misfortune) in operation on the
■treat. All these have been pat
ronized liberally to-day.
The Ladies Missionary Society
propose to give a supper to-morrow
night, at the court bouse, to raise
funds to purchase now stoves for
the Methodist Church.
Mr*. Mattie Harper returned to
her home in Atlanta to-day.
Dr. Farnum is gone to Atlanta
to attend the celebration.

TBE BEIT OBLEANS EXPOSITION.
Hon. J. T. Uendetion, State
Commiseioner of Agriculture, ba*
isiued a eireular appealing to the
farmers of the State to bestir them
selves and make a creditable exhibit
at the New Orleans Cotton Cen
tennial and Industrial Exposition,
which opens on the 16th of Decem
ber. He reminds them that, though
State aid ha* not been given, tbe
raflrosds and manufacturers will
make a creditable exhibit of the
mineral deposits, tbe forest re
sources, and tbe manufacturing in
terests of the State, and it remain*
now for the farmer* to do their part
by furnishing ohoice samples of the
products of their labors, to the end
that the agricultural resources and
capabilities of Georgia, and tbe skill
and energy of the tollers of her soil
may be Illustrated at this great
World's Exposition. He urges the
agriculturists of the State to at once
collect their contributions and ship
them to him at Atlanta, and he
promisei to sco that they aro prop
erly assorted, classified and ship
ped. This is an important matter,
and Georgia farmersehould prompt
ly heed this appeal of Mr. Hender
son if they do not wish to be left
out in tho cold at New Orleane.
Logan’* Losing Luck.
Washington, Nov. 28.—General
Logan, it appears, will be seriously
affected by the failure of tbe Re
publican tioket, taken in connection
with tbe fact that be is most un
likely to succeed himself in tbe
Senate. A well-known gentlemon
in office here states the case in this
way:
.“Some people imagine that Lo
gan is a rich man. On tbo con
trary, he is poor. About ten years
ago he owned property and busi
ness investments iu and around
Chiaago that were (worth 'about
$150,000; since then he has practi
cally lost everything, His invest
ments wore lost in tbe panie of
1873, and ha has now nothing to
depend upon outside hi* salary
of $5,000 per year as Senator
which witl soon ceaso. Ho is not*
good business mnn, and has been •
badly swindled moro than once.
Although a lawyer, he has not prac
tised for years, and so has no repu
tation at the bar.”

KLLAVILLE.
It Garaplalaa of lauliii.
Eu.avillk, Nov. 27.—From
private letter from a business man
of Americua, we learn that the
banks of that eity absolutely refuse
to let out any money to any one to
buy cotton with in Ellavilln. Now
if the object of the bankers is to
force cotton from tbi* placo to
Americu*, we will assure them that
they will make a “glorious failure.”
It has been ascertained that a rail
road could bq built to this place
without tbe “brains aud money” of
Amerious, and perhaps enough
money can be got from sueh small
town* a* Macon and Savannah (as
compared with Amerieus) to buy
the cotton with. Our relations
with tbe business men of Americu*
heretofore have been pleasant, but
we don’t want to be forced to give
up our cotton market Just to please
the boitee, and we don’t intend to,
not that we love Am.-ricus less, but
that we love Ellavllle mure. A
telegraph line will soon be pnt up
from Bueno Vista to Anderson-
ville, nnd *n office be established

we lock well, ana bn tony after all.

Protecting tbe President’s Message.
Washington, November 27.—It
is a curious faot that Mr. Arthur it
the only republican president whose
messages have not been printed In
advanco of their presentation to
congiess. Last year bo called
Publio Printer Rounds to tbo white
house, and said that he should hold
him responsible it there wero any
premature publications of tho docu
ment. This year be made tbe lame
declaration. Mr. Rounds is setting
up the document himself, with tbe
assistance of Cadet Taylor, bis first
assistant. Ho is correcting all
proofs, and the typo is locked up
in his big sale when not in use. Mr.
Rounds says responsibility is mak
ing bis hair grow whfto, but he is
doing his best to protout the presi
dent’s message from unworthy eyes.
