WOULD INVITE THE LADIES OF

OUR GOODS. Afl GOOD _AND AS
Since beginning the Bargain
Store, many rumors and guesses
how long it will lust have made
tbelr rounds, but not until my re'
cent ytsit to buy my second fall
stock hsve tbe above utterances
been used by competitors.
But we are far from being bust
ed. The Bargain Store today
stands on solid looting, and the
purchase of tbe second stock ought
to, and tells tbe tales witli quite a
different result.
We claim to-day, in less than
twelve months of its existence, to
do tbe largest cash business ol any
Dry Goods House in Southwest
Georgit, and we alto claim that we
have opened an avenue for tbe
Americus trading people to get
good goods at less prices than they
were ever offered beiore. 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 I bat the goods recently
purchased on my la'st trip are com
ing in, and will surpass anything
in price and quality ever offered
before. Come early and get tbe
first selection.
I will call tbe especial attention
of tbe ladles to my large and as
sorted stock of Cloaks and Dol
mans, which I Offer, owing to the
scarcity of money, at ball their
value.
Owing to the scarcity of room
and the meagre facilities for show
ing tbe goods, we will offer especial
bargains in Ladies and Misses
trimmed and untrimmed bats. Also
feathers, flowers and millinery trim
mings of all descriptions. It is
useless and impossible to mention
tbe different specialties and bar
gains which we offer. We continue
to receive goods of all description!

est to call and examine and price

Tbe people o) Leesburg set > a
good example. Whenever a minf
ister has to leave hbi family, bis
studies or his business to asaist at
tbe funerals'of their dead, they,
give him a tee or present. Tbit is
right. A minister's tlm* is bli
living and, that- of <bi*.family;;
When his servioes are required, hie,
family should be remembered.
Sometimes even at marriages' tbe
minister has to go borne without a
cent. Tbe young msn will pay the
ordinary a dollar and a ball for
signing a license, which only takes
a few minutes. That it right. The
ordinary has to live. Yet that
same young man WiU have the
minister to ride miles or,consume
a whole day to serve- him, and not
even thank him. He ■ thinks it li
the minister’* business to ride
about and marry folks for nothing.
The scheme ol Representative
Addcrton, of Sumter oounty, tore-
fund the State debt of Gcorgis,
which wilt fall due in 1195 and
1888, in 5 per cent, bonds, If
adopted, will save tbe Stale, tt is
estimated, tbe sum of $57,300 an

exchange asks, “Why not fond tbe
debt in 4 per cent, bends and save
$93,063 interest annually?” It is
to be presumed that tbe General
Alterably will provide for the fund
ing at the lowest rate of interest at,
which tbe loan can bo plated at
