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, 8. M.

WORLD MAMUkACTURIMO CO*. 133 Nassau Street, Mew York. oct4eodaw4w 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. J. A. F. 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.” EuwUi.raia./Mnm’uilul.llwP I'.rtk.r vut. Y, Ll'llLKTEXATIIK M thil.MMM - “Kv i.'ssssrsiSsgW'T-a.

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 turn. We will “get there Eli,” it we lock well, ana bn tony after all. Long may your dally llm. X 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. The Artesian Well.
